SOME SURPRISES SHOWN Haskell's Work Shows Ken nedy Is a Master of the New Style of Football, as Well as the Old.

(BY C. E. McBRIDE.) Kansas City. Oct. 12.

The Kansas elevens are moving along majestically but slowly in the annual process of elimination. The AffKies have shown their speed and their power when pressed; cuipuria, coi.egians nave given signs oi a real machine in the else of their scores, the Kansas Normals have displayed symptoms of the stuff of which champions are made Tut to date Driver's Washburn squad stands as the real and original dark horse of the Sunflower schools. The pupils of the former great Tiger end are expected to break out In a whale of a count against some unfor- tunate band of footballists. and that soon. The drubbing not much of a drubbing at that which Lowman's Manhattan agriculturists administered to Bert Kennedy's Haskell braves pretty effectually erases Baker from the hunt for a title.

Haskell defeated Baker 21 to 6 and In turn fell- before the Aggies. to 21. George Zabel. the pitcher who hopes to draw a regular salary in the Americaa Association next season, has been persuaded to don (nothing like over-working a good word) the moleskins and lend his brawn to the Baker -cause. Zabel played well in his first game, a 12 to 7 victory against the Missouri Wesleyans but in all probability this star will be unable to turn the tide la the direction of Baldwin, HASKELL PROVED A SURPRISE.

In tne game with Haskell the Kansas Aggies flasned under the wire with the victory In the last three minutes of play. The Indians displayed a dassllng repertoire of forward passes thereby discrediting the oft-repeated statement that Bert Kennedy Is shy on the new style of open work play. The Aggies frequently were baffled by the tricky Reds but they fin-, any snowea ineir mettle Dy romping home with the bacon while a minute or two of romping was left. Lowman's athletics played the old style game of ram- imiiib mo pi untie pperoiu ixirougn in nearly the entire game. The Azalea are husky and undoubtedly will depend much on straight football In the majority of their games.

The game against Nebras-; ka probably will be of great benefit to the Aggies. Lowman's men, overwhelmed the Cornhuskers last fall, started on a i winning cruise after the game. Perhaps iLowman figures that the tangle with the Cornhuskers is the proper method of peppering his squad for the sandpapering of the Kansas eleven. And maybe who knows? William Lloyd Driver figures on the Denver game as a whetstone- for his i Ichabods In their dash down the Kansas inning by the Hersog-Merkle route. Both Ditchers were going in fine style and the game was moving rapidly along.

Devore struck cut in New, York's, half of the eighth and Doyle went out on a grounder to Stahl, Snodgrass fannea. When Boston came to. bat for what proved to be the last Bedient was given a most enthusiastic reception. He hit a long fly to Snodgrass. Hooper lined out a drive that Shafer held apd Yerkes put a liner into the extended hands or Herzog.

The vast crowd began moving toward the exits as New York came to bat In the ninth inning and nothing happened to make the crowd pause. Murray filed out to Gardner, Merkle hit a-long fly to Bpeaser and Herzog was out, YerB.es to Stahl, ending the game. The score: YORK.

Takes Game Prom Mis souri Normals, But Plays Loosely. MOSSE NOT PLEASED Special to the Capital. Lawrence, Oct. 12. The Kansas Jayhawkers showed a decided slump In form today but in spite of the loose work defeated Washburn Normal team by a score of 27 to 0.

The line-plunging of Stuewe In the second and third quarters gave Kansas two touchdowns and the stellar work of Martin and Detwiler, at halves, put the ball over for the other scores. In the open style of play the Missouri team outclassed K. IT. several forward passes netting 20 and 30 yard gains but when these plays were followed up by the line bucking style the Jayhawkers line showed up well and stopnel the teachers. Mosses' men tried many forward passes but could not make them work.

Kansas could not score until the second quarter of the game. In the second period Steuwe, who had replaced Miller at fullback, bucked the ball over for the first score of the game. Weidllne missed the goal. Martin who played a star game, for Kansas, making several runs of 15 and 20 yards each, scored In the same quarter. Price, who played his first game at half-back for K.

U. today was a consistent gainer. The feature run of the contest was made by quarterback Parker who ran back one of the punts for forty yards and would have scored but for slipping on the wet ground. The Warrensburg team showed unusually strong defensive work and at times played rings around the crimson and blue team. In the first quarter the normal team held K.

U. for downs on the yard line. Coach Mopse was not so well pleased with the work of his team today, but attributed the poor showing to over confidence gained by the overwhelming victory over St. Mary's. Coach Frank watched the cornhuskers defeat Manhattan thirty to six and so did not have a chance to criticise his porteges.

Kansas was penalized for a total of sixty yards during the game while the Missouri team lost but in this way. Next Saturday Kansas plays her first conference game against Drake at Des Moines.

The former mark was 1T feet, inches, made by John Flanagan at the same grounds four years a no. Among the other events decided today was a two miles atch race between Hannes Kolehmainen. of Finland, and Abel Klviat. of the Irish-American club, which resulted in a dead heat. night, while the Red Sox will rest In this city and Journey on to New York to morrow.

The air was thick with heavy mist -when the game began at one minute after 2 o'clock. Bedient was given an encouraging cheer as he went Into the pitch ing box. Little Josh Devore. the first batter up for New York, waited, as he JACK DEVORE, Mlda-et Giant Outfielder, Who lias Been Slaking Sensational Catches in Pres ent Series. usually does when he finds the pitching unsteady, and got to first on four bad balls.

Captain Doyle tried to put Devore down to second base, but he fouled out to Lewis in the effort. Snodgrass was "booed" by the bleacherites when he came to bat and there was a gTeat cheer when he cut short the Giants' promising pinning by hitting into a double play. He sent a grounder to Wagner, who threw to. Yerkes, forcing Devore, and Yerkes made a quick throw to Stahl. It was the first double play in the series in which three fielders figured, and Yerkes, the middle man of the trio, handled his part well.

RECEPTIOX FOR MATHEWSOX. The veteran Mathewson, who had pitched himself into almost complete exhaustion in the 6 to 6. 11-lnnlng tie game here last Wednesday, also was given a warm reception as he came out to pitch. The question was, could he come back and prevent the Red Sox from batting out another victory. Hooper opened up on Mathewson by hitting him for a single over second base.

Yerkes sent up a fly that was easy for Fletcher and Tris Speaker- shot out a Single to left field on which Hooper took Lewis forced Hooper at third, Herzog gathering in the ground before Hooper could reach third. Gardner struck out, ending the inning. Murray, for the Giants, received a base on balls In the second inning and went to second on Merkle's out, Gardner to Stahl. Herzog hit one up into the mist that Yerkes caught and Meyers sent a long fly out to Hooper. For the Red Sox, Manager "Jake" Stahl was an easy out, Fletcher to Merkle.

But Wagner had more luck with Mathewson's pitching, shooting a single to right field. Cady hit to the infield and slipped as he started to first and Mathewson, who fielded the ball, threw the tall catcher out. Bedient's first trip to the plate was the signal for more applause, but he was an easy victim, going out. Doyle to Merkle. Fletcher opened the third for the National league champions with- a long fly to right field that Hooper gathered in.

Mathewson, like Bedient, was also applauded when he came to bat. In fact he received the warmest reception in Boston of any New York player. But Mathewson, unlike Bedient, was there with a hit, sending out a pretty drive to center field. He moved to second when Devore got his base on trails. Devore got no further, however, for Doyle sent a high fly to Speaker and Snodgrass fouled out to Cady, to the great delight of the crowd.

New York's undoing came in the third when Boston put. together the two runs which won the game. Hooper drove a long hit down Into left field, the ball rolling into a corner. When Devore finally captured it after it had caromed about with him chasing it, Hooper had passed second base and the Red Sox runner beat the outfielder's throw to third base. Then Yerkes came to time with a tremendous drive to left center field that both Devore and Snodgrass chased.

Hooper walked home with Boston's first run, amid a terrific din of cheers. Mathewson looked as If he were in for a bad beating, but the strong hearted New Yorker pitched a fade-away that Speaker managed to hit, but not squarely, and the ball bounded along the ground. Doyle fumbled it and Speaker reached first, Yerkes racing home with Boston's second' run. The ball rolled out to right field and Murray, racing in. scooped it up and threw Speaker out trying to make second base.

RED SOX LAST CHANCE. "Hit er out, Lewis," came the cry across the' diamond when the Red Sox left fielder came to bat, but he sent a grounder to Mathewson and was thrown out at first. Gardner rolled an easy ground hit to Merkle, ending the inning. This was the last inning in which a Red Sox player saw first base. New York went out in order in the fourth Inning.

Murray opped out to Merkle struck out and Herzog sent up a fly to Stahl. Boston also went out, one, two, three. Stahl was an easy victim, Herzog to Merkle, Wagner struck out and Cady sent a fly to Snodgrass. In the fifth Inning "Chief" Meyers fouled off a half dozen balls before he singled to left field. Fletcher sent a long fly to Hooper.

Mathewson struck out and Devore also filed to the Boston right fielder. Bedient came in for more cheering for his fine pitching when he stepped to the plate in the fifth. He grounded out to Merkle. Hooper smashed a drive at Doyle, who got it in fine style and threw the Red Sox runner out. Yerkes hit a lightning fast grounder to Fletcher, who made a great stop and throw, getting his man and ending the inning.

In the sixth Yerkes had to back out into short right field properly to play Doyle's grounder, which he did In fine fashion and threw the New York captain out. Snodgrass sent up a fly to Gardner and Murray put up a high foul also to Gardner. All the Red Sox went out on infield plays in their half of the sixth. Speaker, the first victim, went out. Doyle to Merkle.

Lewis was out. Herzog to Merkle. and Gardner ended the Inning with a grounder to first that Merkle took care of. The hopes of the New York contingent were revived when Merkle hit for two bases at the opening of the seventh inning. The ball flew high and dropped lng to the left-field bleachers.

Herzog hit a high fly that Wagner gathered in behind the pitcher's box. Meyers filed to Speaker and Merkle made a dash for third after the catch and made it by a narrow margin. Manager McGraw, ever alert to the advantage of opportunities, sent in McCormick. a good pinch hitter, to bat for Fletcher. He hit a grounder toward third base.

Gardner was set for the play and In his anxiety get the ball and cut off Merkle at the plate, he fumbled and Merkle scored. McCormick. meantime, was safe at first. Shafer was sent In to run for McCormick. but he was left at first base when Mathewson grounded out.

Gardner to StahL Like the sixth, the Red Sox seventh Inning at the plate wa a short procession, the three Boston batters going out on grounders to the Infield. Stahl gave Mathewson a chance and the Boston manager was thrown out. Wagner sent a grounder to Shafer. who had taken Fletcher's place at thort, and was oat on FOB VICTORY Record "Breaking Baseball Crowd at Boston Saw Bedient Sparkle as Pitching Star Against Christy Mathewson, WAS BEST OF THE SERIES Receipts More Than $62,000 Jake Stahl Now Confident of the World's Championship Next Game Monday. Boston, Oct.

13. Overcoming the New York Nationals today' by a score of 2 to 1, the Boston, pennant winners of the American league, need but a single vie tory to attain the world's baseball cham pionship of 1912. "The world's series now stands: Boston 3 games won; New York, ana one contest a tie. More than 34,000 persons, a record- breaking baseball crowd for Boston, saw a pitching duel in which Hugh Bedient, a youngster, sparkled as a star in the baseball firmament. Three hits was the Giant's portion from Bedients effective service.

But for an error by Gardner, the young hurler would have turned back the New York club to defeat In nine scoreless Innings. Only a shade less bril liant than the box work of Bedient was the skill of the old master, Christy Mathewson, who, except for two long distance drives in the third, held the Red Sox helpless by the magic of his curves. ROSE TO THE OCCASION. Bedient pitched the best ball that has been shown so far in the five games of the world's series. He had not been regarded as a likely choice for mound duty during the championship games, and It HUGH BEDIENT, Boston Pitcher Who Held the Giants to Three.

Scattered Hits Yeaterdsy. was not until several innings had passed that the thousands of specstators realized that the Giants were facing a quality ot pitching that was most baffling when hits meant tallies. The only New Yorker to fathom Bedient's benders was Mathewson, Meyers and Merkle, while those who succumbed on strikeouts were Devore, Snodgrass, Merkle and Mathewson. Harry Hooper started the sharp batting bee that gave the Red Sox their two rur.s. A fade-away curved up to the plate and Hooper, catching it fair and square, shot the ball past Herzog, along the left field foul line, where the ball rlcochetted between the 'angles of the fences to the confusion of Devore.

On went the flying Hooper and before the ball was returned to the Infield the Red Sox outfielder was perched on third. There was pandemonium in the stands when Yerkes drove the first ball pitched to left center, where it rolled up against the fences and bounded past Snodgrass. Hooper came over the plate and Yerkes made third, whence he tallied when Doyle made a bobble of Speaker's grounder. That ended the scoring for Boton. THEV CHRISTY CAME BACK.

Thereafter Mathewson showed his skill in returning to Boston benches every succeeding player who went to the plate. Seventeen men In order went out from the middle of the third to the last of the eighth Inning on grounders to the Infield, pop flies to fielders, or as strikeout victims. Those who fanned were Gardner and Wagrer. Mathewson has been pitted against the Red Sox for nineteen Innings in two games, one of which was a 11-in-ning contest, and not one man was given a base on bails. Only 29 men faced him during today's contest.

The Giants garnered their only run on a long two-base drive to the temporary stands by Merkle in the seventh. He moved to third on Meyers' outfield fly and scored when Gardner failed to handle McCormick's puzzling grounder. Bedient then held the Giants safe until the end. When the ground keeper was about to close the Iron gates on Fenway park at dusk there were still groups of excited "fans" standing about the infield, pointing out the spots where this and that play had checked the Giants In their attempt to wrest a victory and bring them on even terms with the Red Sox in the series. MISTS FIELD.

The early part of the game had all the unpicturesque settings of a cricket match played in a London fog. Murky mists swept In from the sea and rain threatened momentarily. In the early Innings spectators could hardly follow the course of the ball, but the fog cleared later so that the final innings found the clubs battling under summer conditions. It was Columbus day and Boston turned out the largest number of people who have ever witnessed a baseball game In this city. The total attendance was 34.6S3.

while the receipts were 363.201. Of this sum each club received $3,440.45, while the national commission's share was 16,330.10. The players share only In the receipts of the first four games. "We have got the edge on New York now, remarked Manager Jake Stahl. of the Red Sox, tonight, "but I do not propose to claim the world's championship until the last Giant aiayer is out In the final Inning.

It will be time enough then to make claims, but then we won't have ts, for we will have won it MeGRAW STIIX IX HOPES. John McGraw, manager of the Giants, while admitting that the Red Sox have a big advantage, believes he win be able to check the rush of the red-legged players in New York Monday and then go out to make the Cxht lor the next two games. 1 yf-' A RE Outplayed the Leavenworth Highs in Every Department of the Game. THE COUNT WAS 81 TO 0 "Pete" Heil's high school eleven won its third game yesterday when it defeated the Leavenworth highs by an 81 to 0 score. Leavenworth had no chance fronv the beginning, partly on account or lightness and Inablutv to hold the Topeka backs, and partly from lack of football experience.

During the 45 minutes of play they only had about three cnances to carry the ball. On defense their line was unable to hold and their backs were unable to pierce Topeka line for any gains. The lack of a kicker handicapped them from the start as their punts never went more than 20 yards. The Topeka boys depended almost en tirely on line bucks and end runs for their gains in the first half. Time after time the backs tore through the line for big chunks of territory, only to cross the goal line before the team got to going good.

Five touchdowns were made in the first Quarter and two in the second. At the opening of the second half the Topeka boys began to mix forward passes with their line bucks with uni form success. Several passes resulted directly in touchdowns. The game was filled with long runs. Just before the final whistle Martin blocked a punt and recovering the ball raced 35 yards for the final score of 7 points, kicking his own goal.

Touchdowns were made for Topeka by Martin, Willard, Morris, Prussner, 2j Wilmarth and Glass one each. The lineup and officials follow: Topeka. Posl. Leavenworth. Lux D.

MAD SERES THE DENVER G1E Winning Touchdowns Were Madein the Last Quarter by Frobert and Smiley. DENVER OUTPLAYED Special to the Capital. Denver. Oct. 12.

Washburn col lege outplayed Denver university and copped the game handily, 12 to 0. BOtn teams played the same style 01 game. Washburn clearly outpointed the locals. Washburn used the forward pass with great effectiveness. While a large num ber were attempted but one pass was successful on trie Denver slue.

i Most of Denver's Dasses were Inter cepted by Raw piayers for good gains. Denver could not gain consistently through the Washburn line, while In the latter part of the contest Washburn pushed through effectively by line bucks, aided somewhat by the new rules. Punting was about a standoff. The game was a poor one because of the slow field, somewhat muddy and slippery. In the last quarter both Trobert valid Schroeder were punting out of Smiley and Trobert starred for Washburn.

Smiley exhibited the beBt football of the day; his headwork was good and he was as elusive as an eel in carrying the ball. The whole Washburn back field played well and Bishop starred in the line. The playing of the first half was even. In the third quarter after a punting duel, Washburn carried the ball to the eleven-yard line and Smiley, by a forward pass, sent Trobert over for the first touchdown. In the last quarter a series of straight line bucks sent Smiley over for the second touchdown.

Luther Mc-Carty, Nebraska heavyweight, disposed of Al Kaufman In the second round of their scheduled 20-round bout today. Mccarty's victory was clear cut. the police stopping the contest after the San Franciscan had thrice been knocked down by the Nebraskan's right crosses to the chin. From the outset MoCarty took the offensive. A half minute scarcely had passed before he whipped his right to the jaw and Kaufman's legs wobbled.

Then followed a series of exchanges at close range. McCarty repeatedly crossing with his right to the jaw, while the Califor-nian contented himself with straight lefts, one of which split Mccarty's nose. The round closed with honors virtually even. The second round lasted two minutes and forty seconds, and the major part of this found Kaufman on the floor waiting for the count Three times McCarty dropped him with terrific rights to the chin, Kaufman finally lauding in a heap in the laps of the newspaper men who shoved him back through the ropes. Po lice Captain Shea thereupon ordered the fight stopped.

Referee Griffin declared McCarty the winner and the easterner skipped the ring with the crowd cheering him. Mc carty was two to one iavorue me oe ting.

The University of Wisconsin football squad defeated Northwestern University here this afternoon.

Numerous substitutes were brought Into the play in the final period. championship line. Sulgley's Mary's scrappers fell to a ty beating at the hands of those terrible Jayhawkers, 62 to 0, but the, score tells the K. U. strength rather than St.

Mary's weakness. Playing against a team of a higher class the Qulgleyltes fought gallantly, even heroically at times. 'but the onslaught of the Mosse-prank machine simply was Irresistible and the i lighter collegians went the way many another team of stronger calibre will go when the Jayhawker is tackled on Mo- Cook field this season. GREAT CHATVCE FOR COMPARATIVE DOPESTERS. Washburn probably will have a scout or two at the K.

The rule in regard to hurdling was clarified to some extent, the ruling being that a player may go over the Una of scrimmage in a hurdling position, that is, with one knee foremost.

The rule In -regard to open field hurdling is very plain. The defensive player must be on his feet when the player with the ball tskes the leap, otherwise It Is not hurdle in the eyes of the law. The ruling in regard to line-leaping makes It possible for the man with the ball to do a near-hurdle. Indeed, a very near-hurdle, end escape punishment. The discrimination will be keen.
