Cambridge, Muis, Nov. 19 The Horvart varsity squad had a twenty-minute scrimmage yesterday against the varsity coaches, which consisted of Blagden, the Wlthlngton brothers, Corbett, Wendell, Dick Wlg plesworth, Harry Gardner, Dave and Tom Campbell. The varsity team scored lx points, it he result of two drop kicks by Brick 3ey from the 25-yard line, while thel opponents were not able to make any headway. Haughton had Logan, the quarter back, running the team' from one side f the field to- the other, In order to give Brtckley opportunities to try drop kicks from difficult angles. It la the concensus of opinion here that neith er Harvard noo Tale, will score any points from touchdowns, providing the day is fair, and with the grounds In good condition, and with this end In view, Brickley will be given . all the opportunity he desires this week to ret his right leg in working order. Brad lee ami Oilman were not in "the line-up. The former Is out with a "bad arm, ana Gilman's knee Is in bad condition, hot by Saturday It is ex pected that 'they will be rounded Into good shape and will- be in condition to go against Tale., i The betting situation In Boston and among the students in Cambridge has changed considerably. The Harvard students are willing to place all kinds of money on the Crimson eleven, at 10 to 9, or even 10 to 8, but Tale sup porters .are looking for 10 to 7 or bet ter. ' "The students feel that Harvard's showing to date does not warrant them giving such odds. Harvard stu dents Who tried the Boston Stock Ex change to place some of their money could do no better than 10 to 7, and -very little of that to be had. Harvard Rowing Plan Makes Work Pleasant A lot of' fun was got .out of rowing this fall at Harvard. . Unlike what was done at Tale, the work at Har vard was not so hard as to be dis agreeable. The men were not oblig ed to adhere to strict training so long as they fept Jn good condition. They were not J obliged to get up at 6 o'clock in the morning, breakfast off orange Juice and row three miles be fore most sensible people are up. Three university crews were main tained for a full four weeks' practice. An Innovation was tried in the grad ed crew work with much success. Hitherto In the old dormitory system good and bad oarsmen were put in the same boat, with the result that the poor oarsmen remained poor and the good oarsmen deteriorated. This fall the graded crews were kept on the water for a month, in which time the candidates were gradually sifted and several shells made up according to the ability shown by the men. Even tually two good crews were develop ed out of the mass of material and all of the boats showed up better than any under the old system. The best of the crews were raced against one another, and In this way a good deal of new material iwas de veloped, ' and the coaches were able to watch the work of the best men. iAs : a result, there "will be a large number of new men who will report in the spring, many of whom have shown considerable promise in the fall work. PHIL. CROSS GLEANS UP FRANKIE MADDEN Frank Madden, a Queensberry war horse of the Bowery, tried to demon strate at "the Atlantic Garden A. C, Mew Tork, last night that he could fight Just as well as when he was a popular idoL.. Phil Cross, a pugilistic Infant, who was in swaddling clothes when Madden was in his prime, prov ed that youth will be served by beat ing the veteran thoroughly and artisti cally. ! 1 Not only did Cross belabor the old chap from gong to gong for ten rounds, but he dropped him in the sixth, and had Madden In sorry plight at the close of the contest. Madden fought with all the desperate valor that marked bis work In the days when he was in the heyday of his youth and strength, and while his fighting spirit was more than willing, yet his muscles were unequal to the strain. The veteran was arm and leg weary early in the fray, and while he made occasional efforts to beat down his young opponent, they were In the main ineffective. t- Phone 100 V TOR The Kaiserhof STAG HOTEL OERMAN LUNCHES BUSINKS9 MEN'S LUXOH DAILY 12 TO 1, 25o ROOMS TO LET Day, Week or Permanently .

Pbone SS7-4 YALE COACHES WILL STAND PAT IN LINEUP FOR HARVARD Talbott Likely To Next Year's Eleven New Haven, Conn., Nov. 19 The Tate football coaches have decided to stand pat on the line-up that they or dered against Princeton last Saturday. They began the final week's practice of the season yesterday by using that identical make-up of the 'Varsity elev en, and Head Coach Jones and Capt. Ketcham asserted that they have no idea of making a change before the Harvard game next Saturday. The two days' visit -to Tale Field, which comprises the final week's practice, includes three objects, according to the campaign policy outlined by the coaches. These are: First, defensive practice for the 'Varsity; second de velopment of several substitutes for part of the Harvard game, and third, winning back the lost weight of the team. Some of the players lost nearly eight pounds during the Princeton game, and the average loss was be tween live and six pounds to each man. In some cases this has not been more thSn half regained, and this fact has led the coaches to make the work light this week. Capt. Ketcham said last evening: "There may be five min utes' scrimmaging tomorrow; but I doubt it." . . To prevent any of the gridiron stars from reaching too fine an edge they will be taken tomorrow night to Ten Acres, the Prospect Hill home of Major Louis Stoddard, for dinner, and later to a vaudeville entertainment. Their first visit to Tale field since the Princeton game was yesterday, and the regulars were given an hour of signal rehearsal and defensive ham mering, the scrubs driving against them with Harvard formation. With exactly the formation that withstood Birmingham Thinks Five Teams In Race " Jie Birmingham, "boy manager" of the Cleveland Naps, thinks that five clubs ., will figure In the American League race next season. ' Listen to what Joe has to say. "I pick Philadelphia, Cleveland, Washington, Chicago and Boston as the serious contenders for the pen nant, and Detroit is a problem. If Jennings can get his team away to a running start, as he dida couple of years ago, he will have a team that will be generally feared. ' "The Detroit club when on a win ning streak, is 'one of the most dan gerous teams in baseball; Jennings makes the men fight and fighting wins a lot of ball games. "Detroit has a great young-pitcher in Dauss. I look for Dauss to be the real sensation of the 1914 season.' Negro Ball League Formed Out West Chicago, Nov. 19 A new baseball league, composed entirely of negro players, will be in the field, next sum mer. The league is controlled by Chi cago men " who announced, Monday night, that teams will be organized In Chicago, New Tork, Philadelphia, De troit, Baltimore, Cleveland, St- ' Louis and possibly Kansas "City. The. new league was incorporated several- days ago at Pierre, S. D for $5,000 under the nam of the National Colored Baseball League, but Its plans were not made known until Monday night. Headquarters will be in this city. , x -r THE BEST PLACE FOR.

The minor injuries received by sev eral players' Saturday were hardly in evidence, the wrenched knees of Dunn, Martin, Pendleton .and Carter show ing hardly any lameness. ' The development of several substl tutes whom the 'Varsity wish to start Saturday was undertaken in half an hour's scrimmage between the second and third elevens. Two half backs whom the coaches wish to reserve un til Tale reaches the Harvard, twenty- yard line are Guernsey and Wiser. They are line forcers, and with Dunn should make up a trio which the coaches believe will be able to shat ter the Crimson for a . touchdown. Harbison's good play has been a fea ture for several days, and he Is sure to get into part of the game. Wheeler at quarterback and Brann at end will certainly play in part of the game. Today a remarkable demonstration was planned. It was the last day's practice of the season. The squad goes Thursday afternoon to. Auburn dale, its training quarters for the Harvard game, and the occasion, was farewell to the historic Tale Field, which will be replaced in another sea son by the "Bowl." The players kind, led their annual bonfire with bits of discarded uniforms, and held their yearly Omega Lambda Chi ' dance around the blaze. It was stated oii excellent authority that there is no doubt of ehe eligibil ity for another season of Nelson Tal bott, for two year's left tackle. This fact being established, there Is hardly any doubt of his electlonto the cap taincy. He has been a tackle of all American caliber all this Fall. Dartmouth Coach Gets Fine Present if- (Worcester .Post.); i i The Dartmouth football team closed its season in New Tork Saturday with the game against the Carlisle Indians, In which the Dartmouth team was beaten by a score of 35 to id.

The gift was a surprise to the coach. He thanked the donors and ex pressed his appreciation of the game neea and ability of the team, which, starting out under a tremendous hand icap, lack, of numbers and lack of weight, accomplished wonders on the gridiron. , - . The next Dartmouth football captain may be Lawrence W. (Bud) Whitney of Millbury. He was one of the stars of the football world this year, a tower of strength to Dartmouth on the of fense and defense. Ghee, one of the quarterbacks, is also a candidate for the captaincy.

TODAY IN PUGILISTIC ANNALS. 1805 Tom Cribb first attained pug ilistic prominence by defeating George Maddox in a fight that lasted over two hours. Within a short time Cribb had fought his way to the top of the heap and became the recognized heavy weight champion. He whipped, after a terrible battle, old Jem Belcher, the ex-champion, when he returned to the ring after several years in retirement. Cribb also fought two battles with Molineaux, an American negro. 5a the first bout with the black he was saved from defeat only, by an acci dental injury to his antagonist, but In the second he knocked out the negro with a blow that broke the black man's jaw. Cribb retired the unde feated champion. 1909 Digger Stanley and Wally Morgdh fought 6 -round draw at Lon don. 1911 Jim Smith defeated Spike Kennedy in . 2 rounds at Brooklyn.

Ann Arbor, lich., Nov. 19 "I would rather have lost the Pennsyl vania game than have Raynsford elected captain of:' the football team," was the statement Coach Tost of the Michigan eleven made when he was Informed of the surprising selection the team made in its leader for next year. Tost was so greatly disappointed over the electron of Raynsford that he left here yesterday for his home in Nashville without waiting for the big football smoker that Is to be held next Tuesday night In celebration of the great season the Wolverines have en Joyed. The coach would give no reason for his dislike of the choice, hut it is un derstood tnat he favored the election of Tommy Hughitt, the star quarter, who was looked upon by the whole university as a sure choice. Rayns ford was a sub until the Penn game. Frank Chance Had Great Vocabulary Says Ed Reulbach (Sporting News.) " . - "Ton can talk about language," says Ed ' -Reulbach, the tall and mighty pitcher, "but when It comes down to purple oratory, garnished with all the frills and sparkles, Frank Chance has few competitors. He , can say things in a manner to make them sink in. and when he has fully expressed his opinions of you, you can't get over an impression that you have been drink ing from the tabasco bottle by mis take for the cold tea. "One pleasant day when we encoun tered St. Louis, King Cole was told to go in and stop the Cardinals who, at that time, were playing a good, ag gressive game. I don't know what could have been the matter with the old King, but as soon as his arm be gan swinging you could hear nothing but wood crashing and see nothing but dust around the bases. Chance stopped the : proceedings and walked out to the King. . " 'See here, you long, lean, yellow, spavined grandson of a striped hyena,' roared Chance, "what sort of a per formance do you think this it? A run-around, a revolving carousal, or a one-ring circus? Get outa this, you unprintable child of a seasick gorilla, get outa this before I kill you, and take it from me, you are the yellow est cur in the broad creation! And the King departed, blubbering bitterly. Chance waved a hand and I took up the burden. "I couldn't get 'em over. They didn't hit me, but I issued pass after pass, hit a man, and threw a wild one that caroomed off the front of the stand. Again Chance stopped the game and walked across the infield. " 'Tou wild idiot of the Borneau Jungles, you solid composition of Ivory and Imbecility,' he screeched, 1 made a serious error In what I said to Cole. Tou are ten times yellower, 20 times, incapable, pitiable and reptilian as he ever dared to be! Beat it, you human snake; beat it fast or I'll stamp your poisonous frame so deep in the sod that they'll find nothing but a grease spot and a fragment of concrete!' And, somehow or other, I , concluded I wasn't wanted round there and went away., "Lurid Lou Richie went to the slab and had a pass, a wild pitch and an error Immediately. Eight runs had scored, the bases were still packed, and not a' man was out. Chance threw the ball back to Richie after an ineffectual try for a base-runner, and Richie tossed it up, Juggling.'lt with a wide grin and generally clowning the act. For the third time. Chance stop ped the game and walked to the slab. " 'Tou , you firecracker-brained cross between a mongrel pup and a debauched buzzard,' he shrieked. 'I apologise to Cole and Reulbach! Tou are so much their moral and mental Inferior that those two ochre-tinted dogs look like angels ' of sunshine when compared to such a thing as you! Now, you ' but Richie was 200 feet away and going rapidly. "When the game ended Chanoe came into the club house, stopped tn front of a mirror and addressed him self. " 'Tou half-baked, pig-headed, bow legged, drooling, addle-brained, im becile jackass,' he whooped, 'you are worse than Cole, Reulbach and Richie added together! The Lord gave them no sense at all, so what kind of a thing must you be to hire such things as they?" "And we softly stole forth, leaving him still telling himself his opinion of his own character," TENER LIKELY TO TAKE JOB AS NATIONAL -HEAD Harrisburg, Pa., Nov. 19 While Governor John K. Tener, of Pennsyl vania, has given no public intimation as to what he intends to do, it is be lieved by those who know him best that he will accept the "presidency of the National Baseball League . which wMf offered him here, today by a majority of the club presidents of that organization. Every club in the league with the exception of St'. Louis, whose president was unable to attend, was represented in the meeting at which the offer was made. Before the club presidents met the governor it was said the only ques tions to be settled were the salary and term of office. It was said the presi dents had decided to ask the governor to accept the place for a term of either three or five years at a salary of $25,000 and that he take office at the expiration of the term of Presi dent Thomas J. Lynch, which will be this winter. If Governor Tener decided to ac- REMINGTON-YOSTS TO PLAY BRIDGEPORT A. C. SONDAY Captain Baker Of Princeton Picks Yale To Win From Harvard (By Wagner.) The task of getting the Remington Tost and Washington Glee club foot ball teams together Is still on the fire. Last night Howie Baker and Eddie Lavery of this city, who play with the Glees, met Kecko and Hughes of the Tosts and in the course of the talk it was insinuated that the Tosts were afraid of the Glees. Baker and Lav ery said their team was willing to come down here next Sunday and tackle the Tosts. When Manager Keenan of the Tosts heard this he immediately wired Man ager Kelleher of the Glees that he could have next Sunday. But he in sisted that Manager Keeher reply be fore this morning. Nothing was heard from Kelleher this morning so It looks as if the Glees are not anxious to make good. In order tOvprovide some attraction for local fans, Man ager Keenan has arranged to play the Bridgeport A. C. at Tost field next Sunday. The B. A C. boys have a number of out of town stars In their lineup and expect to give the Tosts a good argument. The old rivals, Oaklands and Rose buds, will mingle at Newfield park next Sunday. They were to have clashed last Sunday but rain prevent ed. - The Michigan line that opposed Penn last Saturday weighed 1,100 pounds from tackle to tackle. Only about 220 pounds a man. No wonder the Quaker's couldn't gain through the Western line. Awakened by. their defeat at - the hands .of Exeter, members of the Andover squad have started practice for next season. That beats all rec ords. Tom O'Rourke, veteran boxing pro cept there is nothing to prevent him from holding -- both the governorship and the league presidency, according to his secretary, Walter H. Gaithers. His term as governor will expire in 14 months. The Pennsylvania legislature will not meet again until about the time he retires from office, conse quently lii the normal course of events the mo'sf trying part of his term is over. COI XEGE FOOTBALL Tale expects to win Saturday. Now the scribes will get busy and pick Ail-American elevens. If Harvard loses to Tale, which does not appear impossible, the expert pickers will be at sea. McCarthy showed class behind the Holy Cross line during his short stay in the game. Whitney, of Dartmouth, looks like an all-American halfback. Michigan made short work of the University of Pennsylvania. The Quakers were never in the running. .

That's what folks say of Si moter of New Tork, has applied again for a license to run shows. He lost his license as a result of a dispute over a referee's decision in the. National Sporting club two years ago. The choice of Wilbert Robinson as manager of the Brooklyn club has proved a popular one. The old Balti more catcher is a heady player and should be able to make the Brooklyn bunch play up to date baseball. He has acted as coach for the Giants' pitchers for the past two years. About a month ago McGraw gave him an unconditional release in order that he might accept :the Brooalyn job. Bobby Walthour, , the wonderful bicycle rider, is on his way to New Tork from Europe. He will take part In the six day race next month and will have Elmer Collins as a partner. . Trumbull will be at center for Har vard against Tale. He is a veteran who has not played much this season because of injuries. He is a young ster of magnetic personality and it is expected that he will keep the other linesmen fighting. Soucy, who play ed against Princeton, is also a fine center but has not had Trumbull's ex perience. Capt. Hohey Baker of Princeton de clares Tale should Win from Harvard. Hobey probably remembers too well the way the Tale tacklers smashed in to him. A big crowd saw the bout in Wilkes. Barre In which Al Ketchell was knocked out by Al Dewey.

Cal gary university of Alberta, Can., one of the newer institutions of the pros perous provinces of western Canada, has adopted Harvard's as its official color. An urgent telegram came last week to the president of the Harvard Crimson asking, for a sample of the proper shade, to use in ordering sweat ers for the football team. Evidently the color was adopted on faith that it would be a popular one. BELLIGERENT NAVAJOS SINGING WAR SONGS Farmington, N. M., Nov. 19.

His household effects have been put In storage and Konetchy insists that it is only m question of time when formal an nouncement is made of his tranT to some other club, presumably the New Tork Giants. Manager Miller Huggins announced last night that he bad sold Charley O'Leary to the Los Angeles club.
