September 26. Six to nothing is the story of Cornell's first game of the season here to-day with Colgate. During the first half, which was of fifteen minutes duration, the ball was kept well in Colgate's territory, but lack of team play and failure to follow Interference kept Cornell's back from scoring, although the ball was twice on Colgate's five-yard line. In the second half The Senators Lose Ninth Place Washington, September 26. The Bostons played splendid ball to-day and closed the season with a creditable victory over the Senators.

The sturdy players of Old Penn had little difficulty in any stage of the game with the Lancaster boys, although they scored but a single touch-down in the first half. They made up in a measure for their delinquencies in the second half when they carried the ball over the goal line of the locals four times, making the score a total of 24 to 0. While it is true that the locals were in no sense a match for the University team, it is still true that the latter fell far below expectations.

That it was not larger was due solely and entirely to the poor playing of the 'Varsity. They simply failed to take advantage of opportunities afforded them nnd fumbled miserably. In fact by this one fault alone they lost at least thirty points. By the most modest estimate a fumble always costs the team making it thirty-five yards, for they conld kick It back that distance. No less than eleven times did the Penn hoys lose the ball in that way, to say nothing of the number of times they fumbled and regained the hall.

This gave Franklin and Marshall outright nearly 400 yards. It is no wonder that scoring was difficult in spite of the fact that ground-gaining was easy. The 'Varsity bunched nine of these eleven fumbles In the first half. Thnv ulmnlv hod The Giants Win Again. New York, September 26.

C. Games. New York, September 26. The New York Athletic Club held its fall games at Travers Island this afternoon, and fully 8,000 persons saw the contest. The principal attraction was the meeting of Berney Wefers, the world's champion sprinter, with Smith E.

Wefers won the event lu 114-5 seconds, beating the American record made by Lon Myers, who did it in 12 seconds, In 1SS2. and equaled the English record held by Bradley.

Wefers broke a world's record In the 3(io-yard run, as he ran the distance in superb style in 30 3-5 seconds, which beats About fifteen hundred people turned out at tloga track last night to witness the last night race meet of the season. All the interest of the night was centered In the one-hour professional race, which was handicapped by time, minutes and seconds. This was the first race of Its kind ever ridden on an outdoor track in this country. The men were all placed on scratch and started ofT by their allotments of time from the man who had the greatest handicap. Kluge, who bad three minutes handicap, had made about five laps before Starbuok, the scratch man, was allowed to start.

He fumbled twice while going through the line with the ball, once on a fake kick and once on the kick oft. Goodman played second fiddle by making four fumbles while putting the hall In play, while Gelbert twice fumbled kicks badly. Captain Wharton also took a hand and fumbled a kick off, losing twenty yards.

The fumbles of Goodman were excusable. He Is, of course, new at the place and uncertain. Moreover his work was much stronger than at any previous time. There Cleveland Agrees to Baltimore's Offer. Cleveland, September 26.

The management of the Baltimore Base Ball Club having declined to play any of the Temple Cup games in Pittsburg, Captain Tehenu, of the Spiders, to-day wired Manager Hanlon at Baltimore as follows: "As long as you don't wont to piny miy games in Pittsburg, we Indians Down Dickinson Easily. Special Telegram to The Times. Carlisle. September 26. The foot-ball season opened here to-day in a game with the Indians, and Dickinson was defeated by a score of 28 to 6.

The showing mode by the Collegians against the Reds was quite a surprise to all, as they were greatly outclassed In weight. Brown scored Dickin was also excuse for fumbling In going through the line, but certainlv none for ants as well as the spectators, for one had to keep a careful tally on the men to tell just where they were. There was little enthusiasm displayed in the race until about the thirty-second minute, when Starbuck, who had been trailing the limit man, spurted and gained about a quarter of a nlile and lapped the bunch of lesser handicap men.

Finer work than ayons has never been seen on this field, and Pierce, Jamison and Whee- utes. At this juncture Starbuck made another spurt and made up sufficient distance to place him near the men who had the handicaps. With five minutes to go Starbuck made another one of bis celebrated spurts and gained some distance, hut tile pace seemed to be killing and be was unable to hold his advantage. After the race was over it was some time before the officials were able to determine the winners, ns it. refill ired quite an exhaustive mathematical fumbling a ball coming upon the ground to one.

Outside of this grave fault, which would certainly have meant defeat against a strong team, the work of the 'Varsity was very good. The interference formed strongly, and the men were able to gain ground continuously. All the men did their share In this respect. The defense was Impregnable. On only two different occasions were any gains whatsoever made.

The kicking of Morice was very strong, while Captain Wharton's returns of kick-offs wore fine. The locals also played a strong game. They showed the effect of Bull's coaching. The Individual play of Baker was excellent. The Pennsylvania team lined up as usual save that Farrar sprained his foot, and his place was taken by McCrackon.

Woodruff's klck-orf was a low, bounding ball, which Franklin and Marshall secured on their twenty-five yard line. The first line-up resulted In a three-yard gain by Cessna through Pennsylvania's left line, hut Iiaker was thrown for a loss and was compelled to kick on the third down. The ball was driven to the 45-yard line, where Boyle made a foolish attempt to secure it, aiid, fumbling, the ball went to the opponents. Twice the receiver was downed behind the line for a five-yard loss, nnd the kick, which Raker then tried, sent the ball to mid-field. Gclbert had a splendid chance for a mn, but could not pick it up.

Jackson was thrown for a loss, but Gelbert made a llrst down by an eight-yard run. A fumble, however, again gave Franklin and Marshall the ball. Again the up-State backs were thrown for losses, when Iiaker kicked to the 40-yard line. Gelbert this time got the ball well and made eight yards before downed.

It was the general opinion among the regulars that hour races are not destined to prove a success. The races in detail: The one-mile novice was started in one heat, with a time limit of 2.511 placed on It. The riders loafed the entire way and managed to cover the distance In 3.07. whereupon the referee declared It no race, but gave permission to have them ride it over. The live-mile amateur handicap, which was the first race of its kind ridden In this city in the knowledge of recent race meet attendants at least, occasioned quite a lot of excitement, but not as much as the professionals.

The time, 12.10, although made from the 300 yards, was good. Davis, the scratch man, roile a plucky race, but the handicaps were too much for him to overcome. The winner of the race, M. Massey, put on a magnificent spurt on the Inst mile and won with lots to spare. That the handicaps were very high will be seen by the fact that the place men were al! on the long marks.
