and Nav to draw the largest crowd of the otball season to the Polo CHICAGO BEARS BEATFRANKFORD AT SHIBE PARK By MARSHALL HUNT. Philadelphia, Dec. 5. Playing on a field that was almost ankle deep in mud, Master Red Grange led the Chicago Bears to a 14 to 7 victory over the Frank-ford Yellow Jackets this afternoon. The Wheaton wonder scored two touchdowns, one in the second period and another in the final quarter after a brilliant forward passing attack had enabled the Yellow Jackets to tie the score in the third.

More than thirty thousand wit1-nessed the game. A Slow Start. It was not until the very close of the first period that the famous phantom displayed any of his adeptness at wriggling, writhing and squirming through the lines bf the enemy. After an exchange of punts, the celebrated sorrel top lost a yard attempting to circle his own right end. Later, he caught a punt in midfield and was submerged in the goo before he had gained three yards.

On the next play Chani-berlin threw him in his tracks. It was then that a few of the wolves began shouting: "Where grounds two weeks ago. Today, one i -dividual. an ice man, from heaton. 111., named Harold Red Grange, will essay to go the legged the 30 yards for a touchdown.

With any kind of break from thJ weather man and that isn't tirely necessary some 70,000 fanj will be on hand to see this Grange person lead his j'ack of Chicago Bears against Bub Folwell's Giant in their much advertwed batti royal. Just a Good Crowd.

The Army-Navy classic, with all its pomp and ceremony, was played before over 65.000 people, a record breaking crowd. Tomorrow, in all probability, that crowd will be merely a noteworthy performance. Every ticket printed for this epochal battle has found its way out of the Giants' offices and into the hands of some football fan, except 3.000 bleacher seat whicl I will be dished out on the first One plunge; another.

5. The galloping ghost of Illinois cantered into this city, the first stop on his tour of the east, on a highway smoothly paved with a design strongly resembling the dollar mark. Before today's contest between his Chicago Bears and the local Yellow Jackets, Master Grange ap-praised the Already C. Pyle, known as "Cash and Carry Pyle," refers to Harold as "my Doy," and he will tell you that on Dec. 15 he'll "drop my boy in at Galiopolis for a real good cut." Strangely reminiscent of the ol' fight lingo, eh? Just Watching.

This is the largest guarantee ever paid a football player for singl game.

Mr. Pyyle has an assist ant, a reccoon hide enveloped as 5 Iff other football player: As modest, as unassuming a boy as one could find, gentlemanly and obliging, but not an ounce of color, not bulging' with person-altiy. When engaged in conversation, he does not appear to possess any pronounced sense of humor and one judges that no few of the wise cracks ignited by his companions glance off "his sorrel skull without leaving any noticeable dent. He was a disappointment socially, a conversational flop. Was he happy to be playing professional football? Did he leave sistant.

The assistant watches Mr. Pyle. Mr. Pyle watches his assistant and Red watches both. It's a matter of watchful waiting, apparently.

Money? Grange receives more than 50 per cent, of the Bears' share for each game. Mr. Pyle will tell you in convincing tones that Grange will receive a fabulous amount of dough before his seson is over, but Cash and Carry refuses to mention money except in generalities. Tough on Him, Eh? Is Grange earning this fabulous Is Grange earnine- this fabulous seating capacity of Shi be park, a a i sed. it with a professional air.

Master Grange, 1 1-bent on the road to his first million, was delighted, for he could see plenty of room to care for the 40,000 people eager to pass from the spray in the air. Umph! that was Red knocking the wind from a Yellow Jacket lineman as he ploughed through the mire for 5 yards. Another crash and Red had gained two more and the bail was the Frankfords' 2 yard line as the first period ended. Looks Easy. Frightfully easy it looked, the way the Wheaton wonder slipped through the Jackets' line for a touchdown on the first play in the second period.

J. Sternanian dropped back, after changing his right shoe for a dry one, and kicked for the Bears' seventh point-Master Grange having done his stuff was relieved a few plays later. An elapse of a few minutes and J. Sternaman missed an attempted field goal. Just before the end of the second period Britton attempted a field goal from the 40 yard Kne, but the kick was wide.

The 77 of the former Illini was not in the Chicago eleven's lineup when the third period started, nor did he play any of that quarter. But the absence of Grange was hardly noticed, because only a few minutes after play was resumed a beautifully executed pass was thrown by- Stockton, Yellow Jackets' fullback, from the middle of the field. It was received by Jones, end, on the 30 yard line, and Jones, who learned his football at Nebraska, Jack McKride Dutch Hendriai Two stars hn well shar the spotlight today. C.

Yes, Master Grange said in a lackadaisical way, he is happy to be playing for money and although he was hurt by Zuppke's remarks, he is friendly toward him. Too, there is a future in professional football. The fireworks, the personality, the grand glad-hand artist of the Grange entourage is C. C. Pyle, his manager, a western theatrical impressario who knows all the tricks of trumpeting and all the intricacies of the ballyhoo.

Pyle, suave, talkative and interesting, is the Jack Kearns of the football racket. Already he is adopting some of the phraseology of the squared circle. Sounds Familiar.
