W. PC. .1000 oco Chicago 1 0 Dt.troit 0 1 TODAY'S GAMES. Detroit at Chicago. DETROIT, Oct.

10. Under tile most unfavorable conditions as to atmosphere and playing grounds, De troit and Chicago went to its first bat tle today in the world's series. The game was scheduled to start at 2 p. but ten minutes before that time the managers called Umpires Sheridan and O'Day and told them to start at once. By this time the drizzle had become a steady but not hard downfall of rain and Sheridan called play when everybody thought it would be impossible to play even five innings.

While Detroit lost the game it ac complished the unusual feat of driving two of the opponents' pitchers to the stable. Chicago had done the eame thing with one of the Wolverines' hurlers. Killian went along all right until the third, when they got to him for. a double and three singles and then he was dcrricked, Summers going in in his place. Summers did well enough until the ninth when the Chi 'cagoans got to him for six singles and five runs.

Reulbach progressed well, never being in danger of a run until the seventh, when three singles and a double netted three runs. He was then taken out and Overall went in. Overall (hit the first batsman up and was only saied by Schulte's good catch on the next tne, two having been retired at this time. He was wild at the opening of the eighth and issued a pass to Sam Crawford. This was the singnal for yanking out Overall and three fingered Brown was put in to finish the job.

A wild pitch, two singles and a wild throw put Detroit in the lead. The greatest fielding feature of the game was Crawford's wonderful catch off Tinker in the second, Sam getting the ball high over his head with his back against the ropes. Tinker aided materially in holding De troit down, as on two occasions he went back of Steinfcldt, recovered the ''lan very deep and threw it unerringly to Chan es at first just nipping the runner by inches. Both of Sheckard's two baggers were lucky hits. Cobb missed the first, a high fly to right, by intercepting the ball too low to catch and then fumbling.

The second of Sheckard's, Rossman stopped with his glove but could not hold it and it rolled slowly to rightfield for a double. Cobb's elngle in the seventh was really what put Reulbach out of business. He drove the ball straight at the pitcher who had to throw up his hands to protect his face. It hit the gloved hand, rolled so slowly toward Tinker that the latter had no time to make the throw. Many of the spectators, the real fans, Jay the loss of today's game to an error of judgment on the part of Man ager Jennings.

He allowed Summers to stay in in the ninth when with one out the next six batsmen hit him hard for clean singles and that Mullin was on the bench ready to go in with just the kind of mudfield conditions that big George likes. Summers' slowness in covering first base was directly responsible for one run if not two' that the Chicagoans acquired. Crawford was robbed of an apparently safe hit when Evers jumped high in the air and pulled down his fast hard driven liner. The score: DETROIT.

H. Oct. 10 The Princeton freshmen defeated Exeter by a score of 12 to 0 in a hard fought contest here this afternoon. The. Tiger tubs scored two touchdowns and both foals were kicked, while Exeter made ne touchdown and kicked a goal from the field.

It's the easiest thing in the world to make a bad iriatter worse. Stroudsburg State Normal played a tie game with the Jolly Nine team, of Dunmore at Minooka yesterday afternoon the game ending with no score on either side. There was woeful lack of knowledge on the part of the players and, the officials and the game was marred for that reason by protests from the East Stroudsburg team. Stroudsburg received the kick off and went through the Jolly Nine like a whirlwind. Down after clown was gained and in about four tries the ball was on Jolly Nine's fifteen yard line.

A fumble lost Stroudsburg the chance to score and then Jolly Nine kicked to midfleld. Another fumble gave the ball to the Jolly Nine, who kicked again, the Stroudsburg back missing the ball. Jolly Nine was in possession of the ball within ten yards of the Normal goal at this stage but three tries to get the ball over resulted in the Normal getting the pigskin. It was kicked out and then Jolly Nine took a turn at fumbling. The ball was in midfleld when the half closed The second half came near being exciting.

Shortly after Stroudsburg kicked off, a Jolly Nine back received the ball on a forward pass within five yards of where the ball was put in play and ran the entire length of the field for a touchdown. The officials decided that the touchdown didn't count and the ball was brought back and Jolly Nine penalized and rightly. The half ended after a stubborn resistance by Jolly Nine in front of their own goal line, the score standing 0 0. Dunmore was out in force to the game as the Jolly Nine men are all from that section while there are a number of the Stroudsburg men who hail from this part of the state. Scranton High School lost to the Wilkes Barre High School yesterday afternoon at Wilkes Barre to the tune of 32 0.

The Scranton boys played a stiffer game titan the score would indicate, the scoring on the part of the down the valley team being made for the most part on long runs, the tackling of the local boys being woefully weak at all times. When the Wilkes Barre team meets the Blue and Gold in this city the tale will be different the game yesterday was the first test the Scranton boys have had. The game was a hard fought one despite the one sided appearance of the score, the Scranton High playing a good game in spots. Fumbling was the grievous feature of the afternoon's1 game. With the score nothing to nothing the game between the School of the i Lackawanna and Keystone Academy broke up in a row at Factoryville yes terday afternoon.

The referee dis qualified Harris for slugging and the Lackawanna men didn't like it so they took their goods and came home.

R. Oct. 10. Brown defeated Uowdoin 10 to 0' on Andrews field this afternoon. Both touchdowns were made in the first half and twice in the second part the Browns luid the ball dangerously near the Bowdoin goal.

After Bowdoin's showing with Harvard til local rooters were counting on an even break with perhaps a defeat even for Brown. The home team, however, showed by Improved form over its play in the Colgate game, both offensive and defensive work balng better. The work of the officials was noticeably poor. ROCHEVrF.il. O.

N. Oct. 10. This afternoon at Clinton the Rochester university eleven defeated the Hamilton college eleven In a stubbornly fought game by one touchdown, the play be Ing the result of a double pass from punt formation. The teams were i evenly matched and throughout the game was intensely exciting.

Captain Thomas at center played a star game for Hamilton. The score: Rochester, Hamilton, A woman is prone to exaggerate everything except her age. PRINCETON, U. Oct. 10.

A battle royal was fought here on University field this afternoon when Princeton took on the husky eleven from Perhaps the battle wasn't royal, strictly speaking, but it afforded 'fearful excitement and apprehension to the Tiger rooters because Princeton came near getting licked. The score was nothing to nothing. From the beginning to end It was a kicking game. During the first half Tibbott was pitted against McCaa and in the second part, Read booted the pigskin for the Princetonians. The visiting fullback, however, had a decided advantage, his punts boring through fine distances and high.

Had he been a little more consistent his work would have been brilliant. Princeton was handicapped greatly by the absence of Captain Dillon. The lineup: Princeton. Position. Lafayette Dowd I.

History repeated itself in the game between Lafayette and Princeton Tigers yesterday, for it was twelve years ago this fall that Lafayette tied Princeton with a score of 0 0. The remarkable part of the games Is that Dr. Barclay, who then was half back on the Maroon and White team is putting in his first year as coach of the Lafayette team, being the first alumnus to coach a team of the Kaston college. It will be seen from the score that Harry Edwards of this city, participated in the game against Princeton, Judge Edwards having relented yesterday in time for his son to enter the game. George McCaa whose punting was a feature of the game yesterday is a Wilkes Barre boy and formerly played with the Wilkes Barre High School team.

He is a captain of the Lafayette eleven. Fillmore, who played left fguard for Lafayette, and Coxe, half back for the Orange and Blaclr are both former Wyoming Seminary stars. Easton, Oct. 10. Lafayette students started to celebrate tonight i'i honor of their team's success at Princeton.

These of the students who did not attend the game were at the station to meet the members of the team.

CORNELL DEFEATED OBERLINrSCORE 25 10 Substitutes Did What the Varsity Could Not Do Won the Game After Hard Fight. ITHACA, N. Oct.

10. Cornell's substitutes saved her honor in the game with Oberlin today and the Itha cans won out by the score of 25 to 10. The varsity scored once in the first half on Tydeman's 20 yard run and Captain Walder's plunge along the boundary line. All through the half Cornell's playing was slow and ragged and stupid. Early in the second half Quarterback Gray of the visitors caught a punt on his own goal line and by a splendid run.

coupled with amateurish tackling by the Ithacans, brought the ball the length of the field for a touchdown. This proved Cornell's salvation. MICIIKiAX, AOfilKS, 0. Oct. 10.

Hampered by the absence of Captain Schultz nnd star tackle 'Casey, Michigan suffered all but humility of defeat in the game with the State Agricultural college today, being held to nothing to nothing score. The Wolverine line was soft for the Agsies. who broke through continually, not only for consistent gains for themselves, but in a style that destroyed all the best endeavors of Yost's faultless baeklleld. From start to finish 'Michigan was outplayed, being ragged on defense, while M. C.

was playing a perfect game in every detail. Only the booting of Allerdice saved Yosts men from defeat for his punting kept the ball in comparatively safe territory. GBTTYSBl'KG YVOX. Dncknell (ion llnvn to Itefent In Flitter Context, S. LEWTSBURB, Oct.

10. A blocked kick enabled Gettysburg to snatch an almost certain victory from Buck nell today In a fiercely contested game which went to the collegians by a score of 6 to 5. Outweighed several pounds to the man, Bucknell had difficulty in handling the visitors, but by fast playing, kept them on the defensive during the entire first half. In the second half Shupe broke through the entire Gettysburg team a sensational run of yard to the visitors' five yard line and Kurt; went over for a touchdown. Many a man with sharp features has a dull intellect.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 10. The University of Pennsylvania Football team was held to a nothing to nothing score by Pennsylvania State in th firs't half of today's game on Franklin field, but in the second half managed to get across the enemy's goal line by means of a blocked kick. The goal was kicked from the touchdown and that was all the scoring there was in the game. The result 6 to 0, represented the actual merits of the play.

The Quakers had possession of the ball for a greater length of time than the State College boys, but there was not much difference in that respect, and the home eleven had its hands full at all stages. The ball shifted often from the territory of one to the territory of the other, with the fight and with a good deal of loose playing and with a good deal loose playing and indiscriminate scrimmaging. There was a lot of open play, next to nothing accomplished at steady rushing. On the both, sides the line attacked, yielded only casual gains. Quaker gains at rushing were more individual than the result of team work.

Both teams stowed more proficiency on the defeise than on the offense. The lineup: Penna. Position. State. Braddock 1.

10. The Whitney colors on Delirium flashed to the front in the last ten yards of the Manhattan handicap and won one of the fastest races In the track's history. In fact, the time, 1:11 3 5, equals the best record for the course, made by Roseben, October 6, 1D05. Half Sovereign led up to within the last few jumps with DeMund and Besom up very close. Right at the end when it looked as if these three would divide the money, Delirium squeezed up through and just got up.

Half Sovereign managed to stick out long enough to be second. It was close for the show money, but the judges gave it to Fashion Plate who closed strong, after running wide at the stretch turn. DeMund ran creditably, stopping only in the last twenty yards.

10. With half a million people lining the course, the international chassis motor car race, 200 miles over an eight mile course in Fairmont park, was run this morning as the great climax to the Philadelphia Founders' Week celebra tion.

The No. 2 car, also a good third for some time, went out in the twentieth lap. Motor trouble started a fire which threatened to destroy the car. Ireland, with car No. was out in the eighth round.

Hardly had the cars started when reports of trouble were flashed to the stand. Then around came Davis at terriflic speed, having passed the leader. Amid the rush and confusion of first scoring, the word was received of the blowing out of a shoe of the six cylinder Lozier, reentering the park at Fifty second street. The car careened from one side of the road to the oilier and a wheel collapsed. Driver and mechanic were unhurt, but the No.

10, took the lead, His time, 2:55:53, meant an average speed of about 1 min. 15 sec. for each mile, or 4S miles an hour. The start was scheduled at 7 o'clock and long befoue that hour sixteen automobiles entered in the contest ap nroached the starting line near Me eie to c.ir the course was policed by 1,100 patrolmen and over 100 park guards. When the lineup was ready and the contestants were told to start their motors the scene was exciting enough, not only from a motorist's point of view but also to the uninitiated.

Open exhausts were detonating like cannon discharges and oily smoke enveloped cars and drivers in a heavy cloudy. The little Maxwell, at the. head of the line, looked midgVt like in comparison with several of its giant competitors. Starter Wayne Davis called off the last few seconds to Bitner, and promptly to the hour he was sent away. Thirty seconds later went Davis in Hie Appcrson Jack Rabbit like a stone from a catapult, and Maneher was away with the Peerless as smooth as a swallow.

Then came LaRoche in the Pullman, and Salsnuin next, with his favorite while handkerchief streaming from bis skull cap, started away with the Brighton Beach Thomas flyer. Frank Yeager in the Stude baker and Harkins In tfie Chadwick, were not slow in taking their word, "Go!" Florida, of the Locomobile team, and Roberts, with the coolness of veterane, went away In a flash, Bergdoll following in the big American Locomotive, and Wallace in the Palmer Ringer.

Hoskins, athletic director at Bucknell, gave out the following statement this morning: "Bucknell is in no fit condition to play Gettysburg today, for the simple reason that so many of our men were crippled by Penn's dirty playing last Saturday.

Some of the Philadelphia papers have been filled with stories of Bucknell's 'dirty but half the story has not been told. Penn men deliberately tried to put two of our quarterbacks out of business and they succeeded. "Munk, the regular quarter, who weighs only 132 pounds, tackled Bill Hollenbach, who kneed Munk and put him out of the game. Clausen replaced1 Munk. Clausen was thrown to the ground after catching a punt and while lying there was deliberately jumped on by a Penn man.

As a result he has a splintered collarbone and a badly bruised shoulder and will be unable to play for three or four weeks. Munk, too. acquired a very severe bone bruise of the spine and bruised muscles. Ho will be out of the game for two weeks. "Strange to say the officials did not interfere.

Possibly they did not see what was going on, but the dirty plays were seen all right by persons on the side lines. The officials should also have penalized the Quakers for tackling Bucknell men after they went out of bounds, but they didn't. Another Infraction of the rules that was passed over by the officials was the Penn trick of crawling with the ball after it was dead. Officials often make the mistake of favoring a largo college playing1 a small one. "There were five or six Bucknell men badly injured In the Penn game, and wo were compelled to use seven substitutes on account of Penn's rough playing and tackling.

'T do not want it understood that wo are squealing because we were beaten, nothing of the kind. This Is simply a few words of reply to the squealing that Penn has been doing because a few of their men were hurt. "Penn has always had the reputa I 'iM'fl flf.i'Mflrrng' rn iV uvrxVtriv fnnt.X. mannor. So much so that several col leges Will not play mem.

in naoininj game, for Instance, Captain Hollenbach was continually finding fault with the officials and our players at all stages of the game. That was not spnrtsma nlike. "As tin example of Penn's lack of real sporting blood I might mention the McCormick incident in 1902. Bucknell had a strong team that year, so strong that Penn feared defeat. Rather than suffer at our hands they sent their manager up and protested McCormick, who is now with tho Olants, on the ground that he was playing summer baseball with the Atlantic City nine.

McCormick was a regular, bona fide student in the college, hut he was taken out and replaced by a substitute fullback when Penn raised the dispute. As a result we lost, 6 5. Had McCormick been in, wo would certainly have won that game. The disgraceful part or tne wnoic 'afterwards found out that Penn played tVint tl.A i two professional men u.v, knocking out McCormick. These men were Mike Bennett, who played proies sional baseball with tho Franklin nine of Philadelphia, and John Dale, of La who had already played years at Gettysburg and had unee ill? pioon.

'Possibly it is not generally known that Pauxotlswho istoplay football at Penn this all, is also a summer baseball player, playing baseball under an assumed name." 4. rullman, La Roche; 10:44, 21:24. 37:32, 47:20. 5. Thomas, Salzman; 8:57, 17:37, 38:47.
