Sam Crawford's terrific drive to right field in the eighth Inning yesterday with the bases full gave the White Sox two runs and the game from the New York Giants. Fromme wsa hit hard, but spectacular fielding saved him, except In the fifth when the hits were bunched. After Doolan had captured Scott's fly, Egan singled to left, Magee making a beautiful stop of a ball tagged for fxtra bases. Rath worked Fromme for a walk and Speaker caromed one off Doyle's shins. Crawford, who dl,vided the hitting honors of the afternoon with Merkle at three each .drove the ball past Thorpe and Egan and Rath tallied. Tris reached third and
Sam took second on the throw in. Chase arched to Snodgrass and the latter cut Speaker off at the plate with a perfect throw from deep center. New York had two chances. Doyle's infield hit, Merkle's single to left and Doolan's walk filled the bases, with one eut In the seventh. Thorpe lined to Egan and Doolan was doubled off first. Scott was saved again In the eighth. WInro singled to right and Donlin, pinching for Fromme, beat out a hit to Egan. Snodgrass hit into a double play and Scott retired Magee at first. Hearne pitched the last inning. The teams will play in Seattle this afternoon. . After the game the tourists will be brought back to the city and will embark on a steamship for Victoria, where they will board the Empress of Japan.
ROBINSON CHOSEN
DODGER MANAGER
Investigate Eeports That
Students Sold Tickets For Football Game.
New York, Nov. U. Wilbert Robin
on, one of the most popular men who
ever donned a baseball uniform, and
who will live long In the memory of
the fans as the "man whu made Mar-
quard, Demaree and Tesreau," yester
day was appointed manager of the Brooklyn National league team, to succeed "Bill" Dahlen. Dahlen has been
unconditionally released.
A few weeks ago Robinson, who
has acted as principal coach and sub
manager of the Giants since 1905, was unconditionally released that he might be free to complete business arrange? merits with Charles H. Ebbets of the
Dodgers.
Robinson earned the reputation of
being one of the gretaest catchers in
the business when he was the back stop of the famous old Baltimore Ori
oles in the days when they were the
champions of the national organlxa
tion, with John McGraw playing third
base.
MOONS AFTER SEAUCALPERS McGraw's Lieutenant Given Dahlen's Job With Brooklyn.
Authorities at the University of Chicago today will begin an investigation of reports to the effect that students in the Midway university and , at Northwestern university were responsible ofr more than 1,000 tickets to the Chicago-Wisconsin game getting into the hands of scalpers. Despite the fact that the athletic department of the University of Chicago has rigid regulations intended to prevent scalpers from operating at Stagg field, it was learned last night that loop brokers have large blocks of $2 reserved eats which they are offering for $5. At noon yesterday the ticket office in Bartlett gymnasium had been entirely depleted of seats, and practically all the standing room available on the field had been purchased. The big demand for tickets to the- game has not ojeen equaled in many years. Efforts were made to protect the alumSi by reserving seats, but the failure
of the old grade to respond quickly enough will force them to pay double and triple prices to scalpers or forego seeing the final game. A report which gained circulation during the day was to the effect that Northwestern students had been employed by the scalpers to evade the university regulations. D. S. Merrlam, who has charge of the sale of seats, said Northwestern students producing credentials and stating they were buying for fraternities and other student groups had been sold blocks of reserved seat tickets of thirty and forty in a block. He added that an investigation would be made immediately which will show the truth or falsity of the report.
i GIANTS HOLD
SWAT RECORD The Giants . won their first world's series in 1883 when they beat the St. Louis American association team six games to four. In 1889 the Giants beat the Brooklyn American association champions six games to three. In the latter series the Giants established a team batting average of .801, which still stands as a record. Receipts of - the nine games were $16,362.10. Hank O'Day was the . great mainstay of the Giants on the pitcher's slab.

WILLARD LOSES MORRIS BATTLE
BY POOR FIGHT
The railure of Jess Willard, the Kansas heavyweight, to defeat George
Rodel, the South African, at Milwau
kee Monday night not only lost for him a lot of prestige, but it jcost him
a match with Carl Morris.
Jimmy Johnson, manager of the Boer
fighter, yesterday received a cominu nication from New York promoters in forming him that Rodel had been sub
stituted for Willard to meet Morris in
Madison Square garden on December
2. There was considerable opposition
to the Willard-Morrls fight in the east ern metropolis and the promoters un
doubtedly Jumped at Wlllard's poo
showing as an excuse for the substitu
tion of RodeL
Local fight fans who saw the bout
in the Cream City were severeln thel
criticism of the cowboy. Some be
lieved the death of "Bull" Young, re
cently as & result of one of Willard
punches had something to do with the bin? fellow's showing, but the general impression .was that Jess" is far from
a championship possibility.
Rodel and his manager left last
night for New York. '

HEGEWISCH TO
PLAY CHAMPIONS
Hegewisch, 111., Nov. 19. Hegewlsch
A. A. football team has arranged a
game with the famous Thorns of Pull
man, 130-pound champions of Chicago,
for Thanksgiving morning at Hegewlsch park. Kickoff at 10 o'clock sharp. This should be a game worth going a long way to see, as the Thorns
are acknowledged the fastest and
trickiest team in Chicago. Although
they are lighter than Hegewisch their speed and trick plays, along with the fact that they have played together for
the past four or five years, should off
set the weight question. . As this is
the first year Hegewisch has played
together Coach Fauk has all the men
in good shape except C. Fuehrmeyer, who sustained a broken nose in last
Sunday's game. Captain Hoffman, who was out of Sunday's game on account of sickness, is rounding into form and
will be -ready, fo ijjiblg garoe. -5 "

LIGHT DRILL FOR
THE YALE SQUAD New Haven, Conn., Nov. 19. The
Yale football team had its first practice since the Princeton game on Yale
field yesterday and the work was of the lightest character. The players
were nearly exhausted after the Tiger game and coaches are guarding against a physical slump. Quarter
Back -Wilson and a few others were sent to the infirmary last night for rest. The squad practiced new formations in secret. Later the gates were thrown open and the undergraduates saw the team run through signals for
half an hour. . The players will leave for Auburndale, Mass., on Thursday.
A signal drill will be held in the Har
vard stadium on Friday.

Nov. 19. Joe Borfell, the Kensington middleweight, knocked out Ben Koch. .the' middleweight champion of the navy, in the fourth round of their bout at the bout at the Olympla A.

Haughton, wife of the football coach of Harvard university,' receives 8380,000 from the estate of her first husband, the late Rev. Richard L. Howell, according to a transfer tax report filed here yesterday. Dr. Howell, who was known as one of the wealthiest clergymen In America, died February 1, 1910 W. E. Anerson stopped the winning streak of Jimmy Smith, the New York bowler, yesterday. The former Omaha expert trimmed the little Italian in eleven games at the Randolph alleys. The big Scotchman landed the decision on skill and nerve, as the series was tied at the end of ten games. Smith averaged 206 1-11 to Anderson's 195 3-11. ' '

MR. CHRISTOPHER MATHEWSON will find a warm welcome awaiting him, when he returns to New York within the next few weeks to devote himself to literary work for the remainder of the season. This sounds very Imposing, but it is Just what Matty-intends to do. He is not stating whether his efforts will be directed toward the writing of a book, a play or a vaudeville skit, but it's going to be lit'ry. Matty leaves the Giants at the close of the exhibition game between the Giants and the White Sox at Portland, Ore. "RED" LONDON, who is playing such a brilliant game at one end of the line for the Dartmouth eleven, is the captain-elect of the baseball team. BESIDES acting as manager of the Tacoma'club ? of the Northwestern league. Joe McGlnnity, once With the Giants, found time to pitch in sixtyeight games last season. Joe is still the same old "ron man." THE DISPUTE between the Boston Braves and Cleveland Naps as to which team should: have' possession of the training grounds at Macon, Ga., has'been adjusted, and the Braves will train there next spring. The Chamber of Commerce was called on to settle the dispute and it was discovered that the Braves held a prior agreement, so that Joe Birmingham will have to look elsewhere to get training quarters for Cleveland. He probably will select San Antonio, Texas. HARVARD Is spending much time developing strength in its left wing and Yale is having almost daily lectures, in the big preparation for next Saturday's game. The season Is drawing to -a close, but enthusiasm among football fans was never at such a great height as this season. Despite the charges of commercialism in connection with the Army-Navy game next week, New York expects a record breaking, crowd to witness the contest. FROM present indications Willie Hoppe will be very busy during the coming. ..winter- and if his plans materialise he will be more active around
. the marble table than he has been for , a long time. j Having heard that Hoppe has been practicing three cushion caroms with ' Harry Cline, Alfred De Oro, holder-of i the three cushion championship, has expressed a desire to meet the balk line champion at triple cushions. V Melbourne Inman, the 'English -bil--liard champion, has also expressed a . desire to play Hoppe, but he particu- ; larly specifies that the match be playI ed according to Euglish rules. This
would act as a severe handicap to the
American title holder. THIS is the busiest week of the season for Harvard and Yale, in antici-
: pation of the big match to take place 1 next Saturday. Harvard's form has
j improved so much during' the past j ' fortnight that no one seems to be ! willing to take the responsibility of predicting which will be the winning ' t team n the great gridron contest, the last bg one of the season, but one, the ; j latter the Army and Navy game on I

TONY CAPO.NI, the western , middleweight, who was recently knocked out by Jack Dillon, is crying for a return
engagement. Tony is quoted in hit own. native dialect as saying, "I much seeka man when Dill-on knock me out I think I finish Dill-on in a few rounds so I make a blggada rush.

SHERMAN WINS BOUT. Fort Worth, Texas, Nov. 19. Joe Sherman, the Memphis scrapper, tacked a defeat on Bobby - Waugh, local star, in their twelve-round contest here last night, beating him in seven of .the rousds. ; i
CUBS STILL RETAIN RECORD The Cabs, in winning the 1906 National league pennant, set a record which has not been equaled since, winning 116. games for an average of .763: The lowest figure that ever won a pennant In the National league was .608, 'by Hanlon's Brooklyn " club in 1900. Boston's 105 victories in the American league , last year is the high water mark for games won in the. junior' major-league. ,
