Milwaukee, Nov. 12—A scale” salary limit probably will be adopted by the National Association of Minor Leagues, it was said here to- night by magnates who discussed the | matter at the brief opening session of | the association’s annual meeting to- day. According to a plan informally broached, a limit for each league | graded according to its class will be proposed and after some possible ad- Justment of detail will become a rule, | the magnates predioted. 4 Serious oppasition to salary limit that they thought would tend to “im- peir the quality of baseball” developed among representatives of the Ameri- n association ang the International Agie. Some magnates appeared afraid confusion from the “sliding scale and several favored deposit with the league president of all players' salary money and a penalty for payment to a player of sums other than the ac- knowledged contract price. After President M. H. Sexton called the meeting to order, reports read, routine preliminary business wag disposed of, credentials examined and committees appointe In the crowd which thronged a hotel where the meeting was held were the lead- ing baseball men of the country, all denying that they were selling or buy- ing, vet all cautiously inquiring about new and promising players. The salary limit question will be the prinet appear before the association at its meetings tomorrow and the day after. That it would not be settled without a fight it agreed, and the conten- tlon promised to extend the meeting by _a prolonged wrangle. President Charles W. Murphy and Manager Evers of the Chicago Na- tlonals appeared at the meeting, but nefther would admit more interest in the proceedings than a desire to pro- mote personal friendship with Ameri-, n ba | mem, They laughed at talk of a trade for Joe Tinker and said they were just “looking around.” of Greeneville Defeats Broadway.

Drive Against Values Forces Them Down—@General Recoveri New York, Nov. 12.—The feature of today’s stock market was a viclous drive against quoted values which oc- curred in the middle of the session. Prices fell away rapldly and for a time showed little more than a sem- blance of support. Before the end of the da however, most losses were fully recovered with a good average of material gains, While the relling was at its height, various disquieting rumor® were cur- rent. These included domestic and foreign political developments and the possible resuit of the findings of the rallw; arbitration board in the mat- ter of the demands of the eastern en- gineers, to be made known later in the week. There was no apparent justifi- cation for the assumption that the de- cline was even remotely connected with_conditions abroad, inasmuch as the European markets were buyers on a fairly liberal scale here, preceding this with a general advance in our stocks in London. Moreover, the news from London, Paris and Berlin was all of a character to indicate relaxation in the tensfon created by the war in southeastern Hurope, Judging from the resfliency mani- | fested by the market on its rebound, it Is altogather probable that the early movement constituted little more than a concerted attack by a formidable professional faction whose recent op- erations have indicated a pronounced tendency towards the bear side, Call money was something of a fac- tor, the rate ranging from 5 1-2 to 6 1-2 per cent, with most loans made midway.

Two Mours of Mard Practice for Yale —Wheeler to Start Princeton Game at Quarter. New Haven, Nov. 13—Head Coach Howe sent the Yale football team through two hours of driving practice on Yale fleld this afternoon, the var- sity scoring two touchdowns against | the scrubs. Howe himself got into | the game, running the scrub team at quarter, with Ted Coy as serub full- | back. The practice was secret, but it | 1s sald that the varsity worked several new offensive formations with good success. Geltaur, who has been playing end | this season, was shifted to the Scrubs, as tackle. The varsity wing positions were held down by Bomeisler and Av- ery, the former making several fine runs from forward passes. | Pumpelly played a fine game at half | back for the scrubs and he will be first | substitute back for the Princeton team. | Wheeler ran the varsity at quarterback | with snap and he is now expected to | start the Princeton game. Hard Scrimmage at Princeton. Princeton, N. J., Nov. 12.—Another day of hard scrimmage work on Uni- versity field marked the Princeton | eleven’s endeavors to prime up for Sat- urday’s football game with Yale. For almost an hour and a half Coach Cun- ningham had the varsity men lined up against the scrubs in the hardest sort of a scrimmage, but the best the reg- ulars coulq do was to run up a tie score on their opponents. The scrubs’ score came as & result of straight football, while the varsity's touchdown was registered on a fluke. The sorubs talied on a ‘Youchdown by Thompson and a field goal by Bo- land. Hobey Baker duplicated the lat- ter's performance a few moments later by booting the bal lover from place- ment on the 35 yard line. The first team's touchdown was scored by Waller, who gathered in a fumble in midfield and dashed fifty yards to the goal line. All of the regulars were in the line- up, Captain Pendleton being at left halfback; Hobey Baker and Waller al- ternating at right half. President Hib- ben of the university watched the practice.

BASEBALL ROWS LEFT OVER. “Royal Resters” of Beantswn Sere on Management for Action at Last Game—Murphy and Fogel in Hot Water. Organized baseball seems tumbling to the fact that there is a limit to human credulity; that it is about time to scrape off some of the barnacles | that threaten the life of the sport; | that it will pay to keep the game above the mildest reproach. The re- cent world's series opened the eyes of | the magnates, for it showed that even in the hizht of the most exclting com- petition the grand olq sport has ever witnessed that it was possible for a strain of doybt to exist in the minds of the most ardent followers. This astounding eve-opener developed in the final game between the Red Sox and Giants at Boston. It was the | eighth game of the series. in which the winner was assured of the world's championship, each side having won three and drawn in the odd contest. Boston had_turned out record crowds all along. But to this important game scarcely half the regular patrons came. The dved-iu-the-wool fans had lost faith in the Poston management, i not in the game, writes an exchange. The “royal rooters” $00 strong, had | followed the American league cham- plons three times to New York at groat personal expense. Seats had been re- | served for them at the Polo grounds and at Fenway park, too, up to the seventh game. Alas, that day when they marched on the field it was dis- covered that the common rabble had | usurped their places. The loyal legion had to squat down in front of out- | on ample, fhg For Wednesday COATS - $I12.75 Were $16.50 to $24.50 SUITS - - $15.30 Were $22.50 to $32.50 DRESSES - $695 Were $8.00 to $12.50 COME EARLY AND GET FIRST CHOICE Street Wauregan Hotel reported to bave admtftted that he is willing to step down if fair Induce- ments are forthcoming. In the mean- time the hot water in which Fogel finds himself has drawn the fire aw: from C. W. Murphy, believed in many quarters to be the real instigator of all Fogel's troubles, Murphy I8 a prominent member of the “In Bad” club, and it would not be at all sur- prising if he were handed a little sur- prize package at the special meeting cheduled for later. It comes on pret- ty good authority that the Cubs are for sale. Perhaps Charlie has seen the handwriting on the wall. No tears will be wasted if both Fogel and Murphy make room for bet- ter men. These two have been a con- stant source of annoyance ever since they were assoclated among the big ring of promoters, For years they in- sinuated against the honesty of their confederate and belittled all the laws of the institution. No one will be sorry if the threatened trouble falls them mountain high. Fogel, at least, seems doomed. Murphy, for five vears has been slippery as an eel, al- Ways Wriggling away when he appear- ed to be landed. Whether it comes now or later, Mr. Murphy is bound in time to hang himself or talk himself to death. NEW FORWARD PASS TRICK. Wabash Quarterback Works Clever Moves in Notre Dame Game. What is described as the smartest play of the semson is credited by siders who had their customary sec- | tion. It was a raw deal from the man- agement and was malignantly resented. | Not once during the game did one | of this band cheer for a member of | the Red Sox. Not once did its musi- cal collection play a Boston war song. | But it did cheer New York, and after the game angrily serenaded the Bos- | ton manageme: And that night a | e red against the home team. That night, also, on every hand could be heard murmurs against the Integrity of the national pastime. They were tossed here and there, back and forth, uttered and reiterated until some who should have known far bet- ter actually half-Delieved them. Stahl and McAleer were charged with hav. ing jockeyed the series, drawing it out so that Boston might reap an extra harvest in golden shekels. It was this feeling, engendered by the ‘“royal rooters” that resulted in the dismal attendance at the final game and in conditlons that are likely to cause great harm to the American league cause in the city of culture, Luckily for organized baseball the last series was conducted above sus- picion, especially everything relating to the distribution of tickets. Such a scandal as was seen at New York and in Philadelphia in 1911 might have been a death blow to the game, for the public was eager to make any sort of charge, in its chagrin at the disap- pointing Red Sox and a more disap- pointing management. It was the first time in the history of world's series that some serious scalping scandals had not developed—scandals that were later whitewashed by the national commission. In the performance of which action the triumberate, year by year, left further grounds for dissat- isfaction on the part of the great pub- lic in general. It comes, then, with some feeling of satsfaction, that organized base- ball has at last been driven to a stand that is likely to result in great good. This refers.to the Natlonal league in particular and to the whole family in general. Horace Fogel, the talkative president of the Philadelphia Nation- als, has been impeached for his broad- cast tirades against the honesty of the great summer sport, Aceording to the very best informed authorities, Presi- dent Tom Lynch of the National league has a closed case against the pre- sumed owner of the Quakers, Horace has done far less to discredit the sport through which he is making & fine ltvelihood than has Charles Webb Mur- phy of Chicage, But the unfertunate Horace -has been far less discreet, The tip comes from Philadelphia that Fogel is likely te forestall justios by retiring frem the head of thé Phil- lies, The present owners are willing to dispose of their holdings, Fogel & 4 Walter E. Eckessall, the weil-known football authority ,to Kent Lambert, pride of Wabash and speedy quarter- back of the little giants. Eckersail, who was referee at the Wabash-Notre Dame game, describes Lambert's work as follows: Quarterback Lambert, of |the Wabash eleven, pulled a play in the game between Wabash which is one of sprung_since the forward pass was adopted. On an incomplete forward pass a penalty of a down in inflicted at the spot where the center puts the ball in play on the previous down. As Notre Dame outwelghed _the le glants by several pounds, Coach Har- per realized his only chance to win was by means of open plays. Consequent he had formations in which the for- ward pass was the principal factor. “As Lambert is an expert in throw- ing the oval, he was the main cog in all the forward pass plays. In most of these plays his team lined up in punt formation. As a result, Lambert was about § or 10 yards back of the line of scrimage. As Soon as he recelved the ball from the center he started to run around efther end, at the same time Jooking for some eligi- ble player of his team to whom he could throw the ball. In his attempts to pick out some member if his team who was not covered Lambert was gradually forced back toward his own goal. When he realized that it was imposeible to make a forward pass with members of the opposing team closing in on him, he simply threw the ball forward a couple of yards, making an incomplete forward pass when he was fully 20 yards back of the point from which the center put the ball in play. 3 “AS a result, thé ball was brought back to the point of the previous down and the penalty of a down in- flicted. This is the, first time that an advantage has been taken of the for- ward pass rule, and it is a mighty good trick at times. Lambert pulled this stunt no less than half a dozen times. Fven the Notre Dame coach and players had nothing but praise for the player who had brains enough to take advantage of a technicality in the rules, In all probability the rules committee will legislate against such a procedure next season. Lambert saved his team at least 100 yards, “Another clever piece of wark which Lambert got away with ,whieh furnish- ed food fo rthought for the committee at ite annual mesting is threwing the Notre Dame and the best Ohildren Ory FOR FLETCHER'S CASTORIA Brown, right tackle, 21, 170; Brown right end, 20, 156; Turner, lef; end, 157; Robbins, quarterback, 19, 146 | Hardage, captain, left bhalfback | 160; Sikes, fullback, 19, 162; right halfback, 20, 161 “We f necessity of demonstrating ball is played intelligently the Mason and Dixon | Gugin, the coach. ball out of bounds on forward passes. | play does not give the defending elev on[ Under the present ruling the ball goes |a nce to intercept the pass and as to the opponents at the spot where it | it is contrary to the spirit ¢ crossed the side line.
