The material at | Harvard is all that could be wished for physically, and, indeed, there have been few seasons since 1908, when Haughton came here, that the timber has shaped up better as a whole so far as its appearance and play in the early games is to be taken into con- sideratfon. But with the losses of such men ' as Trumbull, Pennock, and Logan, Brickley, Bradlee and Francke in the backfleld, there can be only one answer—and this is that this year’s eleven has had to be built from the very bottom. Harvard's showing in the early games has been good. In the games with Carlisle Harvard keeping her eye on the object of the play, and this sign was about the most encouraging the coaches had to think about after the game—aside, perhaps, trom the bits of individual play- ing by one or two linemen, showing great promise for the future. Haughton intends to make but few changes in the lineup Letween now and the big games with Princeton and Yale. Wiggin has been taken from the line and placed in the tack fleld. He was first choice for center on the team until the game against the Carlisle team, when he was replaced by Taylor. The latter seems to be playing better ball at the pivot point, and this, together with the possibility that Wallace may be available for the Yale game, accounts scmewhat for the shift. Soucy has teen playing a brilliant game at end. Harvard players have welcomed the return of Enwright to the back field.

New York, Oct. 23.—In a statement issued yesterday at the Federal league offices, James A. Gilmore, president of the league, characterized as false a remark attributed to B. B. Johnson, president of the American league, to the "effect that the late Robert B. Ward had told Johnson that he wished to withdraw from the Federals. The statement which Johnson is said to have made includes what the Federals consider a slur on Mr. Ward, it being said that the Federal league caused his death because ‘‘he could not stand the strain of worries and losses.” The text of Johnson's re- marks in reference to the death of Robert B, Ward is given as follows. “He was the backbone of the Fed- eral league, and tae blow is likely to prove fatal to the organization. I had a talk with him last spring at which time it was inferred that he would be glad to get out of the league. I think it is the Federal league that put him under the sod, as he could no stand the strain of wor- ries and losses.” SOLON GUILTY. Minnesota’s Football Captain is Found Guilty of Being Ineligible. Minneapolis, Minn., Oct. Solon, captain of the University Minnesota football eleven yeste! was held guilty of professionalish, and declared ineligible to take part in future intercollegiate coipetitions. The charge against thtm was that he had played summer baseball for money on the Havre (Mon.) team The eligibility committee includes two football players—Baston and Bierman. The vote against him was unanimous. As Solon signed an affi- davit that he was an amateur, it was said that expulsion from the university might be asktd Solon was the team's surest ground gainer, its best kicker, a great defense player, and the best man con the squad in receiving forward passes, according to his ad- mirers. He was the second Gopher captain in recent history to be barred from play on the eve of an important con- test because of sustained charges of professionalism. In 1911 Captain Earl Pickering of Madison, Wis., was de- clared ineligibile to play, and was withdrawn from the line-up on com- 23.—Lorin of vember 17, at the home of George plaint of the University of Wisconsin, goal | BOUTS IN ELM CITY PLEASES FIGHT FANS Brown-McAuliffe Fight a Draw—Ket- chell Gets a Beating From Fighting Dane. Oct. 23.—The Indian boxing carnival last eve- ning was witnessed by fans at the Arena, with two bouts failing to go the limit and two de- cisions as draws were rendered’ by Referee Dave Fitzgerald. The feature event found Chic Brown of this city battling ten rounds with Young Mc- Auliffe of Bridgeport in a go that was not interesting until the final round Wwhen action was in evidence. Ths semi-final between Larry Hansen, a Danish boxer and pupil of Fighting Dick Nelson, ended abruptly, the ef- forts of Red Ketchell to mix things up, the contest being stopped in the opening session with Ketchell a badly battered boy, The second bout of the program was easily taken by Hartley with superior ring generalship out- classing Billy Nisto of Highwood in the period- The Highwood battler after taking a lacing collapsed in the tenth with another minute to go. The Highwood lad’s inability to hit Hari- ley at opportune times demonstrated that his knowledge of boxing was from the brand exhibited by Leo Flynn's protege. Nisto can be haerld- ed, hereafter as one of the game youths who ever entered the local ring and deserves much credit for his staying power against Hartley. The opening go was a hotly con- tested six-round affair and Joe Marcks of Highwood and K. O. Dil-' lon, the principals slugged their way to a favorable mention of the spec- tators. New Haven, Head A. C,, AMATEUR’S IN WORLD'S SERIES, San Francisco, Oct .28.—The South Tacoma (Wash.) Tigers defeated the White Autos of Cleveland, Ohio, here yesterday in the first game in a series | of three for the amateur baseball championship of the world, excluding intercollegiate games. The game was | closely contested, no runs being scored after the fourth inning, when Tacoma bunched two hits and sent across the deciding tally in a 3 to 2 score. Eley, pitching for Tacoma, wabbled in the | third inning and the Kasterners took full advantage of his temporary lapse. Three hits were turned into two runs. From this point Eley had his oppon- ents at his mercy, Crowley, for Cleve- land, pitched a splendid game.

Johnny Schroeder, the ex-High school star, will play quarterback for the Pawnees, while© “Chief” Larson, of football fame, will be seen at halfback.

Los Angeles, Cal., Oct, 23.—Venus- tiano Carranza, head of the de facto worthy in the past: “Do you know how the Feds are holding up " queried this party. ‘Do you know why they are still doing business and why they will continue “I'll tell you—and it's straight stuff. Scme time ago Harry Sinclair called a meeting of the other seven club owners. ‘We are bound to lose a lot of money still,’ said Sinclair, ‘but T have a good way out. There is a cer- | tain stock that I happen to know is ' due for a good, big rise. So if the eight of us take 25,000 shares on mar- gin we'll have enough, as a league, to wipe out all deficits for some time to come.” “Sinclair then named the stock, and it was arranged to take the 25,000 shares for the league. Within ten days or two weeks the stock began to advance rapidly, and . within two| months it was up twenty-five points. | This meant a profit of over $600,000 to the league as a war fund, and I un- derstand the stock has advanced con- siderably higher since, giving the eight Fed owners close to a million dollar profit.” | This may be a pipe dream, but it is certanly plausible—and, as we re- marked before, the tip came to us from one who is in a position to know whereof he chatters. Sinclair would also be in a position to furnish just such a tip. The stock mentioned is now selling above $400 a share. Some System. This sounds like a first class system. A club owner who desired to purchase a star ball player could pay $10,000 for said star and at the same time lay in 500 shares of stock, taking his profit at the $10,000 mark.
