B. CADDIjE. FIOM the east Is wafted the news that Chief Bender and Jack Coombs are within a few days go ing to follow In the footsteps of Eddie Plank and sign a Federal league con tract. Efforts are being made by the owners of several big league clubs to secure the signatures of the redman and Coombs to contracts, but present Indications are that they will take the hurdles and Jump to the outlaws. Like Plank, neither Bender or Cooraba foel kindly toward the American league. fter giving tne bb- ""y " " llral whips to the Athletics they were canned" by Connie Mack, who to date has assigned no reason for his act. In the loss of this trio of hurlers Mack will find himself up against it next season when the pennant race starts. One thing sure, the Athletic i will re quire a whole lot of building up to make them even pennant contenders. With the club as It is today Mack vould have to step some to finish In the first division. These three twlrlers are far from be ing all in. It's trne that Plank has been twirling for IX years and is get ting old. but the Mime he twirled in the world's series clearly demonstrated the fact that he is not a "nas been and is still a winning hurler. Bender last season led the American league hurlers with something like 19 victories and three or four defeats Coombs worked only in part of a few games. He has been out of the game for two years be cause of an injury, but those who have seen him work predict that in 1915 he will return to his old time form. The advent of these three to the ranks of the Federals will have a tend ency to greatly strengthen the clubs with which they are assigned. It will also raise the standard of playing of the league and the trio will prove strong drawing cards In any city they pitch. Sam Langtoru. one of the greatest fighters of all time.

Yale has tried to hide the gridiron from the newspapers, and Harvard has endeavored to dash their spirits with stern disapproval, but never did Yale or Harvard resort to the skull duggery of refusing them, a gent in the press stand to give out megaphonlc misinformation about the identity of the footballers, so that the fourth es tate might copper all he says and thus keep almost In touch with what is transpiring around and about The Army did this Saturday. That Is to say. the Army refused a man for press duty. It was low, and mean, and wholly unworthy of the Army, usu ally amorg the most obliging accesso ries to the game of football. The service assailants were unnum bered, of course, and they were also craftily made up to look just exactly alike, but, even so, the lads scrunched down in the press stand were all set and ready to go along right with them, putting up the usual game battle, when the foul blow felL Not until the sec ond period were conditions anywhere near equal. In a fit of remorse, the Army then assigned a representative to the stand, and thereafter the press gave the footballers Just as good as they sent, but they were never able to quite make up the handicap. That Mysterious Itunner. Under the unnumbered circumstances we feel that the returns on the well, on the very first play of any importance made by the Army, for in stance, do not represent a fair test of strength between the footballers anu the press. It was the Army's ball on the Army's own 20 yard line, or there abouts.

Brickley asserts that Eddie Mahan is the greatest lootballist In all the land todav, but he also thinks well of "Tack" Hardwick. Moreover, ne nao a few kind thoughts for Maulbetsch, "The Michigan Mauler." About Franklin Field. . No excuse can Justify the presenta tion of a great national sporting spec tacle such as the Army and Navy foot ball game on a field like Franklin Field. There was a time when tho j n ,. TTI.-A..c.tt.. nf DAnnavlr.!. nia answered the purpose nicely, but I that time has long since passea, anu . In this day of modern stadiums, with their adequate facilities for handling huge crowds. It is ridiculous to con tinue the use of the field for this par ticular event. We are not arguing that the game should be taken away from Philadel phia. On the contrary, we contend that Philadelphia is Just as much en titled to the famous event as any other city that can be named, and, moreover, we can say in Philadelphia' favor that she offered better accommodations for the game this year than could be fur nished at Franklin Field, but the offer was declined. Philadelphia offered Shibe park, the home of the Athletics, so not even location can be argued In favor of the U. of P. yard. It might be a different matter If Franklin Field belonged to either the Army or Navy, if It was home ground to one or the other, but It Is not, and there Is nothing whatever about the field, or the history of the field, that makAR it necullarlv nnnronriate for the I game.

Up In the Preis Stand. We are not criticising the manage ment of the game Saturday. The peo ple In charge did the very best that could be done with their limited facili ties. At least wear e giving them the benefit of the doubt. This is particu larly true of the press arrangements and the handling of the press box, where a Jam and confusion developed such as has not been seen at a big sporting event In many a year in Philadelphia, too, heretofore noted for handling press people a little bit better than anywhere else in all the land! The narrow box which hives the no ble newspapermen at Franklin Field was packed until it was almost Impos sible for any one to move. Some one in authority had evidently overesti mated the capacity of that press box at a vratio of about four to one. No, Horace, the occupants were not all newspapermen. Occupants of football press boxes are never all newspaper men, any more than the occupants of baseball or other press boxes are ever all newspapermen. Newspaper men are constantly .being heavily outnum bered in press boxes, and there Is little or no prospect of their attaining to the majority. Coffevvllle.

' Carried Option Claue. "There was a provision in the 1914 contract" said Griffith, "whereby I ob tained an option on Johnson's services for the 1915 season.

Looknlg oil into 1915 It seems to us that the Crimson tint along the football horizon is fading and that the blue of Yale and the black and yellow of Princeton are In the ascendancy. Yale and Princeton have furnished picking for Harvard in a football way during the past two or three years. But the graduates next June threaten to wreck tne unmsuii. uitiuiiiiit? u swept through to such great victories last year and this year. Of the 1914 regulars, only three will be left Ma hatt. Parson and Wallace. ,- ,ha nth,, bond "Princeton Will lose only three of Its regulars. Includ ing Capt. Ballln, Its great tackle, while Yale will lose only two or three valua ble men and will have left the nucleus for a great eleven. Haughton May Find Stars. Of course, Haughton, the- Harvard coach, may find some stars of the first magnitude among the candidates who will present themselves for Jobs in 1915. Probably some may rise, to such heights that stars of 1913 and 1914 will not be missed, uui tne ouuooit i Yale and Princeton for 1915 Is much rosier than that of Harvard. Most of those who played regularly for Yale and Princeton this season will return next year, and the expe rience they had this year will be of great value to the team's chance next year. On the other hand. Harvard must build a new team around three regulars which, ven for a man of Haughton's wiaardy, is something of a Job. Those Who Won't Be Back. Included in those who never again will wear a Harvard uniform are Brick lev, the great fullback and drop klcKer: Bradlee. halfback1; T. J.

Yale retains Legore. who was about two-thirds of the Yale team this year. With the experience that he gained this year, Legore ought to show up in even more wonderful fashion in 191a. Wilson, the varsity quarterback, will be on the Job again. Seovll. one of the greatest plunging halfbacks ever seen in the east who was forced to act as first substitute this year, will get a chance to become a regular next year.
