So veil arranged are the plans that the in going of a crowd of more than 20,000 per sons by rail, trolley and automobile will scarcely Inconvenience the ordinary life of New Haven. The trolley schedule to and from Yale Field, the special train service In all directions over the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad, the policing Of the avenues of approach to the field ejid many other details have been worked out systematically, through hearty co-operation of all Interests, based upon the Inauguration of a permanent system of foot ball administration by Yale Cniverslty. The most striking feature of the day Is ex pected to be the procession of automobiles through the streets. Acres of vacant land around Yale Field have been thrown open for the accommodation of these vehicles.

After the usual preliminary work of running through signals and catching punts Coach Dickson sent the 'varsity Into scrimmage with the scrub. The 'varsity received the ball on Its 10-yard line and Stevenson began plugging the scrub line for short gains, but soon lost the ball in Its own territory. The way the scrub tore through Robinson and Hnbson caused the coaches present to say things. The 'var sity offense was the jSoorest seen on the franklin Field thus far this year. Play after play was nailed by Oallagher and Bradley of the scrub, due to the poor In terference of the 'varsity back field. Coach iMckson sent the 'varsity players into the dressing rooms thoroughly disgusted with ihelr work. The 'varsity subs lined up against the scrub, but fared worse than the 'varsity, for they were steadily pushed toward their own goal It was not until the s.-rub Jjad. pushed the 'varsity su-s to t! eir 20-yard line that the varsity took a brace and held for downs.

Though the Washington School tea mwas much heavier than the Friends' team, they deserve much credit for the snappy game which they put up at all times during the contest. In the beginning the Washington School kicked off to the Quak ers ten-yard line and the pigskin waa re turned on line assaults twenty yards back when the Friends' School boys fumbled.' Then by a series of line assaults the Wash ington School team shoved Bard over for the first touchdown of the game. Britton kicked goal. Score: Washington School C Friends' School 0. The Washington team did good work throughout the first half and made a total of 18 points.

Kelley, manager of the St. Paul Ameri can Association team, who filed a petition for an Injunction against the commission to restrain it from putting Into effect Its decision that Kelley should play with the St. Louis American League team. Kelley declared that he was not under contract to the St. Paul club, and could not, therefore, be sold by Owner George Lennon of that organization. Kelley asserted that If he should, after the decision of the com mission, undertake to play with any other than the St. Louis club, he would be pre vented forever from engaging in base ball as a means of livelihood. He declared that of the members of the commission, August Herrmann and Ban Johnson, as well as John E. Bruce, secretary of the commis sion, had a pecuniary Interest in the decis ion, and that these members of the commis sion were prejudiced against him. Kelley therefore asked for an Injunction restrain ing the members of the commission from any action whereby any professional base ball club in the United States is prevented from engaging him as a player for the next season. A temporary restraining order was Issued. The case will be taken up for hear ing on Monday. The adoption of the following additional rulo by the commission was announced: "Rule 39. No sale of a minor league player by one minor league club to another shall be permitted within six days of the first drafting day of each year. All sales of mi nor league players by one minor league club to another shall be reported by the secre tary of the National Association to the sec retary of the national commission at least four days before the first drafting day of each year." The commission finds the adoption of this rule abundantly necessary in order that the club possessing title to any player may lie definitely known before the drafting season commences. BALTIMORE DOGS WON. Ending of the Field Trials of Maryland and District Association. The annual field trials of dogs owned by members of the Maryland and District of j Columbia Field Trials Association for the all-age stakes was run yesterday near Eas- | ton. Md. The territory for the trials was j Miles River Neck. At the Anchorage, the j home of Mrs. 'Charles A. Chlpley. William D. Randall, Jr.'s, setter and Joseph Hindes' setter True were run. After this trial the sportsmen drove to J. J. Speck's Snug Har bor. where Malcolm H. Hill's pointer and John Dunn's setter, Sue Gladstone, were put down. The party drove to Dr. Charles Lowndes' Sunnyslde farm, where lunch was ! taken, __after which Jack Dunn's Klnley Mack and George P. Weir's Weir's Jingo were placed in competition. Klnley Mack showed better style in field and outranged Weir's Jingo. They then drove to Little Hopewell, the farm of William P. Hall, where William R. Armstrong's Lilly of Woodcliffe and Grason H. Gent's Brace were turned loose. After this they went to John W. Seemer's farm, where William D. Randall's Nellie Bly and William R. Armstrong's Dan of Woodcliffe were matched. They went back to Dr. Lowndes' place, where Malcolm H. Hill's Rover and Gen. Joseph B. Seth's Rex were matched. George Emmerich's Bess of Gil more ran a bye, and Frank Finley's Bob ran to accompany. Bess did not show up in good form and lacked judgment. The semi-finals were next run. The first pair put down were Dunn's Klnley Mack and Gent's Brace G. Both hunted well, but Klnley Mack outfooted and outranged Brace G., who showed the effects of carry ing too much flesh for a field trial this year. Klnley Mack In this run, while hunt ing well, showed a tad trait as, in crossing the field, he stopped hunting and ran the sheep. The next brace was Weir's Jingo and Armstrong's Billy Woodcliffe. At the farm of James Cowgill the third and last contest in the finals took place between Dunn's Sue Gladstone and Emmerich's Bess of Gilmore. At Easton, Judge Charles B. Cook of Virginia and H. Lee Clark, of Bal timore announced the winners of this year's all-age stake, as follows: First, Klnley Mack, winner of Thursday's derby stakes, owned by Jack Dunn of Balti more; second. Grace G., winner of last year's derby, owned by Grason H. Gent of Baltimore; third. Sue Gladstone, also owned by Jack Dunn of Baltimore; fourth. Weir's Jingo, owned by George F. Weir of Baltt* more. ATLANTIC CITY OOLFEBS. Lafferty and Horstman of This City in Semi-Finals. ATLANTIC crrr, N. J., November 18 ? The metropolitan district is ably represent ed in its one remaining survivor In the first division in the open golf tournament of the Country Club of Atlantic City in progress here. Walter J. Travis of Garden City won both his matches with little effort yester day. but owing to the luck of the draw was compelled to dispose of clubmates in both Instances. When the field appeared for the first match play round a gale of wind, swept across the course, making anything like normal play impossible. On all save a couple of the holes the contestants had to contend with either a cross or a head wind. Every one has a chance to keep In the game, for there are beaten eight divisions and an eighteen bole medal play handicap scheduled for today. Starting out In the morning, Travis was opposed to W. 8. Edey of Garden City, the old wing shot. Off the tee the former champion got tha-longer ball, and his usual deadly akort game left Bdey little ehancs to do more than get occasional halves. He never won a hole. After being 4 up at the turn Travis won by 6 up and 6 to play. His only bad mistake was a topped drive going to the seventh hole. There was a bite to the wind that made the Angers tin gle, but Travis with characteristic fore thought fortified himself with a pair of gloves. Ttt>e best match In the first round had F. flContinued on Tenth Pa?e.> MERIWETHER TRIAL CHARGES AND SPECIFICATIONS SERVED ON HIM AT ANNAPOLIS. Charges connected with the fight In which Midshipman James R. Branch received fatal Injuries from Midshipman Minor Meriweth er, Jr., were served on Meriwether at An napolis yesterday by Commander Adolph T. Marlx, Judge advocate of the court-mar tial, which will assemble at the Naval Acad emy on Wednesday next to try the case. Commander Marix also had a conference with Superintendent Sands 1 nregard to fa cilities for the court. Lieut. Com. J. K. Robinson has been de tailed as Meriwether's counsel. He said last night: "I ask for Meriwether, as did Secretary Bonaparte, that the public Judgment be re served until his side of this unfortunate affair is told. He has a side, and when it is known there will be no harsh feeling toward him from fair-minded people." Charges and. Specifications. There are three charges against Midship man Meriwether and four specific citations In all, one each under the first and third (harges and two under the second. The first, the most serious, is the original ' charge of manslaughter, under which it is possible to provide a sentence of ten years in a penitentiary. The specification is "that Midshipman Minor Meriwether, Jr., did un lawfully engage In a fight with Midship man James R. Branch on the evening of November 5. 1005, and did unlawfully strike with his fist the said Midshipman Branch, Inflicting Injuries from the effects of which the said Midshipman Branch died." The second charge is the violation of the third clause of the eighth article for the government of the navy, which provides that no one in the naval service "shall quarrel with, strike or assault or use pro voking or reproachful words, gestures or menaces toward any one in the navy." The two specifications under this head i are that Meriwether called Branch a "sneak" and a "coward," and that he assaulted him. The third and final charge Is that of "con duct to the prejudice of good order and dis cipline," under the general regulations. The specification Is that Meriwether engaged in a fight with Branch. It is within the power of the court to find Meriwether gutlty of any or all of the speci fications and charges, or It may find him guilty of certain specifications and not guilty of the accompanying charges should they believe the facts to be as stated, but not to constitute the charge. The maximum penalty provided for the first charge Is dismissal and ten years' con finement In the penitentiary. That for the second and third is dismissal. In each case the court has authority to provide any pun ishment that it should see fit, less than the maximum. If Meriwether is found guilty on all three charges it would be within the power of the court to punish him by de merits, confinement at the Naval Academy or in some other manner. The "Code" Not on Trial. There seems to be an impression that the court-martial appointed to try Midshipman Meriwether for alleged responsibility for the death of Midshipman Banch is also to investigate the so-called "code of honor," Involving the settlement of personal dif ferences between midshipmen by glove fights governed by the rules of the prize | ring. According to the officials of the Navy Department that is an erroneous view of the case. In announcing the appointment of the court Secretary Bonaparte stated. In re sponse to an inquliy, that the Meriwether j court martial proceedings were directed ex clusively against the Individual and not against the alleged practice of glove fights at the academy. In other words, the case j of Meriwether Is to be tried solely on its individual merits, regardless of any pre vious fights which may have occurred be tween midshipmen. It is not regarded as [ necessary to the trial and punishment of ycung Meriwether, la case he Is convicted, that it should be shown that a practice I prevails at the academy of settling per | sonal disagreements by a resort to fisticuffs. It Is recognized that such a practice Is con trary to the rules and regulations of the | academy and its recognition by the court I as an institution might be construed as a partial condonement of the conduct of Mid shipman Meriwether. Punishments Inflicted. Secretary Bonaparte has also stat^l that . no proceedings will be instituted by the de | partment against any of the midshipmen who are alleged to have assisted in the fight | between Meriwether and Branch, as ref | eree, timekeepers, seconds, etc. It Is stat ed that those young men have already re ceived their final punishment at the hands of the superintendent of the academy and that no further action Is contemplated with respect to their connection with the Branch Meriwether case.

It Is gratifying to hear that the importa tion of frogs Into the Hawaiian Islands has proved to be a success. The islands had no frogs, they needed them, and the demand has finally created a home supply. According to the report of the fish com mission, the frogs are multiplying, and It may soon be profitable to catch them for market. It was not the original purpose, however, to eat the frogs, but to give them a chance to eat things that were not desirable to have around. A certain worm Infested the grass or Slime in and about the pools, and If cattle or sheep swallowed it they were likely to die. It was thought also that the frogs might assist in thinning out some of the noxious insects. So some of the plant ers persevered in shipping frogs from the United States, though the island rats de clared war on the newcomers and killed most of the early importations. The frogs are now very well scattered over all the islands and are making their Influence felt. They are playing havoc with some of the insects; they are reducing the number of flukes that decimate the herds and flocks in a most Insidious way. The natives say it is good to have frogs around, and they are glad the little fellows have taken so kindly to the islands. Perhaps many of us do not appreciate the frog as much as he deserves, but we might feel our lost If he should disappear. Coming Greatness. From the St. Lools Pott-Dispatch.
