Scrub Fools the 'any—-fflo M ..Irnc Ce.| 1 Princeton looks forward to a close |ler, the erratic Penmsylvania ca) wn. match with Dartmouth next Saturday, ‘the game being one of the features P Tigers are hardly willing to admit that they are in danger of being beaten. The strength of the Dartmouth eleven is realized, but the Tiger coaches feel that ‘their men have struck their gait and will give the first real signs of their prowess in the coming game. As teams, Dartmouth has shown great defensive power, and this is just what Prinecton has not displayed. No eleven has been able to worry Dart- | mounth very much yet," while in a few, games the Tigers have been forced to’ lplux uphill to escape defeat. Prince— ton is full of life and ginger, but there is just' as much fight and courage in that _Dartmouth bunch as there is oh the Princeton team, and if the former goes down the margin of victory will be small. Princeton is especially anx- jous to win, not only in view of last year's defeat by Dartmouth, but in or- der to show. the football world that it is still on deck and it not behind Yale. Princeton want$ to trim Yale, but it knows that to do this it must polish Dartmouth. It realizes its desperate ituation,” and will go ingo the Dart- mouth game with great determination. A close observer of the two teams who compares them man for man de- clares that Princeton has nothing on Dartmouth. It is stronger at center and one guard in the line, but it is not as good as Dartmouth at tackles, the other guard.and on the wings. In the backfield Dartmouth’s first set of backs is the equal, if not superior, to Princeton’s first set, but in the case of the second set of backs, the Tigers have the call. Bamman, in the mid- dle of the Princeton line, is-more ex- perienced and aggressive than Need- m. The latter is a fighter, strong on the defense, but is a poor passer and not as quick-witted as his ogposite Tobin, Dartmouth left guard, is supe- rior in skill and knoweldge of the game than either Buckingham or Waller, who will opose him.; The shifting of Tobin back from tackle to his old place at guard has greatly helped the team and brings into play again Sherwin, a hus- ky tackle, who will face Siegling. The Princeton tackle is élever, but he is not in Sherwin's cla and McCrohan, at the other tackle, will find a job of it in trying to keep up his end with Lang. Princeton Center Trio Stronger. MecCrohan is playing tackle for his first season, and while he is strong and rangy he will meet a man in Lang with as much strength and more football brains. Woeher, Princeton left guard, looks better than Farnham,a new man in the Dartmouth line. That Prince- ton center trio. as a composite, looks better than the three men opposite. Daley and Bankart are most aggres- sive and speedy ends than Ballin and Welch on the Jersey wings. At quar- terback it is a stand off. Bergen of Princeton no star, and while he has been doing good work lately he dose not look as good as the rest of the team. Pishon has played -poorly at guarter for Dartmouth thig season, and Brady, bis running mate, has shown lack of generalship™ qualities. It may be that Pishon will “find” himself as he did late last season, and as did Mil- | day against the Indians. the college football programme, but the ! who played rank ball until last Dartmouth Leads in Bukfiol‘.' . In the backfield things should be in- teresting for both Dartmouth and Princeton. Dartmouth, with Marks,In- fersoll and Ryan, is stronger n Hart, Reed and Garrett, or Cunning- ham. Hart of Princeton is a terror, but he is no Marks, and it is an intes esting question if there is another full- back playving todly who can rip up the line like this Dartmouth whirlwind. In- gersoll is excellent ‘far as he goes, but it is a matter of extremedoubht if he can play a full game. Injuries have kept him back all season. Ryan is strong and capable and is an excel- lent dodger. Read of Princeton is a slippery, halfback, but the rest of the Tiger lves are just ordinary players. But there are &0 many of these fel- lows with ordinary ability compared with Dartmouth’s reserves of an interi- or grade that things look blue for the latter in case of injuries. Dartmouth can’t stand any injuries among the forwards or backs and this is where Princeton has an advantage. Elcock, Johnson and Dingle are not much good as substitute linemen. The changes are more likely to come in the backfield, and here nceton has a large supply of men, who as a bunch are superior to the green. Garrett, Cunningham, Woodle, Dawson, Sarks and Bard all rank above such Dart- mouth substitutes as Dudley, Drum- mond, Setward, Lovejoy, Greenwood and Smith. UNDERGRADS CHEER TIGERS. Princeton 'Varsity Makes Seven Touch- downs in the Rain. Princeton, N. J., Nov. 4—Although a driving rain blew across the gridiron, almost all of the Princeton undergrad- uates stood along the sidelines today, cheering the team in its last scrimmage before the game with the Dartmouth team. The ’varsity made seven touch- downs in fairly short order, though many of the regulars were replaced by substitutes early in the game. The field was muddy and there was frequent fumbling.. After the usual practice game the second team was given the ball three times on the ten yard line, but failed to score. The Princeton freshmen held their last practice today before their final game of the season with the Yale freshmen at New Haven on Saturday. Captain Pendleton and Heath were conspicuous in the ground gaining. HARVARD SECONDS SCORE ON 'VARSITY. Used Cornell Tricks—Then 'Varsity Rips Up the Scrubs. {‘:ambrid‘e Mass,, Nov. 4—The Har- vard s c7n team succeeded in scoring on the 'Varsity football team in a long, hard scrimmage today and in trying out the so-called Cornell formations was able to break up the line, drawing the ends out of position in fake kicks PRICE MOVEMENT LISTLESS., Some Stocks Were Strong and Some Were Weak. New York, Nov. 4.—Today’s stock market was a two-sided affair, in that some stocks were strong and some were weak. The great body of securi- ties, however, was inert and the price movement was listless and insignifi- cant. A recurrence of strength in United States-Steel and a congestion of practically the whole activity of the later market in that security did not have a favorable effect on the tone of the speculation. The enormous deal- ings in that stock were largely respon- sible for the swelling of the day's transactions to above the average for recent days. Points of strength other- wise was scattered widely through -a miscellaneous list of specialfies, some of them decidedly obscure and seldom appearing in the transactions of the | stock exchange. ' The railroad stocks generally and some of the high priced industrials lately sharing the larger | activity of the market were inclined to be heavy. This was true of United States Steel in the early part of.the day, as well as Amalgamated Copper and the railroad equipment stocks, in contrast with their special strength yesterday. The operations which made stocks SZrOng from time to time were greatly congentrated in their execution and, appardntly, in their origin. The steel movement was connected with a revival of unconfirmed reports that the efforts towards securing the listing of the stock on the Paris bourse was about to be crowned with success. The admission to the coulisse of the Paris bourse of the 8t. Louis and San Fran- cisco refunding five per cent, bonds, lately sold to French bankers, was cal- culated to lend some credence to the reports regarding United States Steel. The most striking movement in the other direction was in New York Cen- tral. The fall ofgtwo points in that following yesterday’'s news of a new issue of stock to the extent of 25 per cent, of the present volume was in "I line with the similar action of Penn- sylvania and New York. New Haven when additional stock issues were announced by those com- panies. The effect thus shown on val- ues of existing securities by additional issues does not suggest favorable au- guries of the “consequences of further ralsing of new capital which is known to be necessary in the not distant fu- ture. The value of new stock and bonds thus projected within a short time past, the knowledge that similar large requirements lie before foreign markets and the active and growing demand for money for commercial use combine to inculcate caution in the use of credits for speculative employment. The violent speculation in progress in the cotton market and anxiety as to its outcome offer a parallel case, which | is accepted as an object leason in con- servative financial quarters. There were fresh reports today of conditions in foreign money markets which were not considered reassuring. It was re- ported that another advance in the of- flcial discount rate of the Imperia! Bank of Germany had come into dis- cussion again. The unchanged Bank of England rate made a cheerful im- pression on speculators, but the decline in condition of fthat inptitution, as well as the Bank of France, indicated that the hoped-for recuperation at those polnts.was not going on. Sterling ex- change here declined sharply. Ronds were heavy. Total sales, par vaiue, $4.652,000. TUnited States fours r Sales. 2700 Allis 146100 Amal 2900 Am. 4600 Am. 2300 Ama.

The 'varsity came back, however, and made four touch- downs. It was evident that the team was weak in repelling trick plays, as shown when the second team went through formations peculiar to the Cornell style. The field was slippery today from yesterday's rain and was covered with hay tonight to take out the moisture and keep the turf in shape for Satur- day's game with Cornell. EIGHT COACHES WATCH YALE. Varsity Scores Four Times on Scrubs —Savage Keeps Up Strong Line Plunging. New Haven, Nov. r touch- downs were made by the Yale varsity football team today in its scrimmage with the scrub team. The first two were made in secret practice and the second two followed line pla the gates were opened. The latter two were made by Savage, the substitute fullback: Francis and Daly were un- able to make gains against the scrubs, but Savage tore the line at will. Phil- bin, Murphy, Coonéy, Andrus and Coy were net in the lineup. The backs were given an extended punting practice and drop Kkicking. Greenough, who played in place of An- drus, turned an ankle, and Johnson, the substitute quarterback, injared his nose and will be unable to play in the Brown game Saturday. Howe at guar- terback ran the varsity in excellent shape and will be put In at the start of the game Saturday. Among the coaches on the fleld were Phil Smith, Carl Flanders, Batchelder, Paul Veed- erfi Heffelfinger, Roraback, Jones and Wheaton. Norwich A. F. Team vs. Westerly. The Norwich association football club has selected a team for the game here Saturday that is expected to give the Lorrainés of Westerly a hard rub even if the latter are regarded one of the fast- est teams in this vicinity. Last season the Westerly men defeated Norwich without much ,trouble, but the home eleven is supposed to be stronger this seagon, so that the Lorraines will have to show their best to win out. It will be the second game of the local sea- son‘on the Sachem park grounds and the management is looking for a big turnout. The following is the Norwich team which Manager ~ Reid Mclntyre will present: Goal, H. Finlayson; backs, W. Ferguson and V. Corin; halfbac! J. Corners, N. Reid, T. Parsons; forwards, F. Manville, W. Brown, A. Finlayson, A. Manville, W.White; reserve, R. Pili- ing. English Soccers Beaten Champion: ov by Penn Philadelphi; of England met their first defeat on their present American tour today, when the Hibernians, the champions of the_Pennsylvanja league, beat them wt soccer by the score of 1 to 0. The visitors were without the services of four of their players who are suffering from injuries. Sterling Soccer vs. Plainfield. The Sterling football club play their second league game Saturday at Ster- ling, when the Plainfield team will be their opponents. Plainfield has a good team this year and should put up a stiff fight on the Sterling field. The Sterling team will be the same that defeated Norwich last week. Connie Mack’s Son a Star. Connie Mack’s son is a football star. The great baseball manager's son is at Notre Dame nlayln( quawterback. He shows the same quick perception of the way the game should be played and plays dirécted that his father does in baseball. He Is the star of the team, his latest feat helng a (ouchdown after a run of over 100 yards. Butwell's Good Ride Lands Nimbus. Aqueduct, N. ¥., Nov. 4&-—Nimbus, backed down fromi even money to 7 to 10, wan the Woodmere selling stakes, seven Yfurlongs, today. His victory was due in a large measure to the good ride pf Butwell. Football ‘Results Thursday. . | This is | agains —The Pilgrims | He took a team that was a constant loser, and in the very first year of his inistration landed a chlmplnnlhln‘ a record which has never lled in the American league. It a personal victory pure and pe It must be admitted that there was | splendid playing talent in the team be- | fore he assumed Its direction, but it is doubtful if they would have accom- plished much without his leadeship. He Knew How. . The reason of his triumph may be stated in three words, “He knew how. He had excellent experience under some of the best masters. After leav- ing Louisville, where he had produced a winning team, he had the advantage | of such a leader as Edward Hanlon, and associations with some of the be: players ever in the game. It is true that his club did ot make a wonderful showing when pitted Chicage in the world’s cham- pionship series »f the past two years. But such a defcat must not be taken as_conclusive evidence of inferiority. It often happens that the winner of a league pennant is defeated in a series with some other club. When the Cubs won the national championship in 1908, you will find that Pittsburg won the majority of its games with them. Not only that, but even Philadelphia took 13 out of 22 es with them, and New York broke even. It was the splendid showing\of Chicago. with the weaker teams that enabled it to win the pennant, and this js as much a Jennings Studies His Men. g8’ secret of success is attribut— able not merely to his ability in gath- ing good material and araining them to play together. As much as anything it is due to the way that he treats his plavers. He never abuses his men, nor does he coddle them. ‘He studies the disposition of each one, and acts ac- cordingly. He is always ready to praise a man who dees good work. If he does bad work he takes it diplo. matically, and whatever he has to say to him is said in such a w that it| leaves no bitter feeling. Jennings works hard all the time. He never quits. He Is a real leader. He is continually on the lines encour— aging his men to the best of his abil- ity and is always on the outlook for an opening. Some managers have an odd vay of disappearing when things are going badly. This is not the case with Jennings. He plays hard, and he plays to win, but he is not a rowdy, nor does he per- mit rowdyism in his mén. 1 can speak | authoritatively on this matter, for it is| 1 who first introduced Jennings I1|tn the major league baseball. T know 'his father, and have never met a finer old | gentleman. So his son, you see, comes | from the right stuff.

Says Johnson's Afraid and Offers Him Money and His Own Terms for Fight. Regardless of the proposed Jeffries- Johnson fight, Sam Langford of Bos- ton, a very dangerous person with his fists, sends work to the New York Sun that he is ready to meet Johnson In the ring under any conditions anywhere and at any time between now and next spring. Langford makes this statement: “Johnson can have $1.000 in cash from me the moment he steps into_the ring. T will fight him 6, 10, 45 or | 100 rounds, for $5.000 a side, winner take the entire purse or 75 per cent. | 1 will accept any reasonable offer and ; will win. T know Johnson like a hook and I don’t mind saying that he is afraid to meet me. But I am putting it up to him squarely just the same. More than three vears ago, when I was a welterweight, 1 met Johnson at Chelsea,. Mass. In the second round he was knocked down for the count and was really out, but was saved by a mistake of the timekeeper. He weighed 40 pounds more than 1 did on that occasion and was no better than he is today. I have tried to get a match ever since with no success. had him sewed up to meet at the N tiortal Sporting club of London last May, but he deliverately ran out, even though he signed articles of agree- ment. “Johnson is overrated. He's never whipped anybody. I'll venture to say that I could have stopped Burns and Ketchel in_ half the time it took Johnson. You can't drag Burns, Ketchel or Kaufman into the ring with me now under any circum- stances. Papke has absolutely re- fused to meet me and gives as a rea- son that T am a negro. “Johnson says he can get into his best shape in six weeks. He can make big money by whipping me and will also prove that he has a chance to defeat Jeffmies. If he is on the lev- el, as he says he is, let him agree to fight me some time within the next two months just to show people that he is a real champion. I have no hard feelings toward Johnson, but T'll say frankly that in my opinion he can be licked and that I can lick him.” Langford weighs 170 pounds and is a formidable pugilist. He has beaten all comers when fully extended and has also scared others in such a way that he seems unable to induce any of the topnotchers to meet him. If Johnson can whip Langford it will be the means of further increasing in- terest in the big go with Jeffries, Tt i$ a prevalent opinion that Langford i entitled to consideration College Football Games Satuday.

A tall, hnwboned youpng n, the personification of awkwardness, 23 years of age, the personal makeup of whom conceals a world of baseball knowledge, together with a liberal sprinkling“of shyness and not a grain of self conceit. That's Jack Miller, second baseman of the Pittsburg Na- tionals, says an exchange. He is the youngest man in point of baseball ser- vice on the team. Miller, unlike many yYoung men who have risen to a place of prominence ik baseball, is of a most retiring diposition. It is said he is a £econd edition of Hans Wagner. His remarkable work for the Pirates hasf made him one of the most talked of oungsters in the big leagues. Like Wagner, he would rather hike off on a fishing or hunting trip than be the center of attraction when the baseball fans congregate in hotel corridors. Miller was born in New York on September 9, 1886. The popular im- | pression has been that he is a country boy, who up to recent years knew nothing of the noise and stle of a big city, having been raised in rural surroundings and knowing nothing else all his life. This is partially true, for at ar. early age he pmlxruted from the metropolis to Kearney, ‘When he was 15, or'in 19(11 he first played on a regular team. Of course he had every small boy's experience on the “kid” teams, but in 1901 he joined the Park Ways of Kearny and played with them for several years. He | seemed to be a natural player and pro- gressed =o rapidly that when the At- lantic outlaw league was organized in | the spring of 1907 he was given a berth | on the Easton, Pa. team. He cut all | kinds of spectacular capers there a Barney Dreyfuss of Pittsburg got | wind of his work. He réported to the Pirates earlv last season. One after- noon a tall, thin fellow walked deject- edly on the ball field during the Pi- rates’ practice. Awkwardly he took up a position at 3 base. He looked white around the gills and put little life in his work. But the few minutes he remained on view and after disappearance it became known that the apparition was Miller, a sec— ond baseman from Easton, Pa. Then Mr. Miller dropped out of the whirl of Pittsburg life. Later it be- came known that he had just come from a hospital, where he had gone through a siege of fever, this account- ing for his poor appearance. Follow- ing this it was learned that Miller had been sent to the McKeesport team of | Merritt and A ki \ S L rg had drafted mm m m:‘fi:nhnd team: voill‘fl“ u‘nahh m e youngster. Then fans be- -i’t up and take notice. May- be vlo some 'nod after all. The case went before the national commission and that warded Miller to the Pirates. He went south with the team last ng and from the start his work bordered on thesen- utloml Hew he beat Abby, a sea- soned veteran, out of his pob at second base; how he has fielded and batted his way into the hearts of fandom: how he has fitted Mmuu into the session of the keystone bag; all this is known to Pittsburgers. COLLEGE FOOTBALL BRIEFS. Nine yvears ago Percy Haughton was head coach at Cornell. Willlams hasn’t played against Cor- nell at Ithaca since 1903, Brown's last four scores against Massachusetts State college have been 5 to 0, 17 to 0, 24 to 0, and 27 to 0. Lieutenant Nelly, the Army’s coach, umpires for the central board, except on the dhys of West Point's big games, where he remains at the army athletic headquarters. Reports are from Princeton of trou- ble between Captain Seigling and McFayden, the guard. Rumor has it that McFayden will not play on the same eleven with Seigling. Minot of Harvard can drop the ball at right angle to his toe and boot it almost as far as he can the conven- tional way, however far that may be comments the New York Sun. The quarterback problem at Yale has the floor and it's up to the coach- es to get it straightened out. It seems as players of the prominence of Howe, Johnson could play the position much more smoothly than they are doing. Princeton’s football career for the last six years has been full of adversi- ties. Except in 1906, the first yvear of the new rules, every Tig team has been beaten In other games than the one with Yale, and in 1906 Herbert Dillon's team played a tie with Yale when it was exp °d to win. In 1904 a defeat by the Navy preceded the beating by Yale: in 1905 a defeat by Dartmouth came ahead of the annual drubbing by Yale; 1907 Cornell lammed the Tigers be the Elis got at them; and in 1908 tmouth got In a knockout punch before the overthrow by Yale, |Ties with Lafayette, West Point and Syracuse also were part of the 1908 campaign.
