Insiders say that Connie Mack has waivers on Chief Bender because he failed to obey orders just before the world’s series. Bender was sent to New York to inspect the Braves in the final series with the Giants. The In- dian spent three days in New York city, but did not visit the Polo grounds. Furthermore, he was in poor physical condition when he pitched in the first game against Boston. The crushing defeat administered to Bender, it is charged, unnerved the Athletics. Mack therefore blamed the Indian for the loss of the series, for he had planned to send him against the Braves in two of the games. In the case of Plank it is known-that he asked Mack to meet a Fed off of $6,000. As the Athletics were $27,000 behind when they began the world)s series Mack decided that he” could fiot yield to Plank’s demand. Waivers were asked on Jack Coombs for the reason that he was carried on the payroll for three years while prac- tically useless. Coombs, in Mack's opinion, has ended his diamond career. SOME OF THE PROMINENT PLAYERS AND THEIR PLAYS Yale Has a Big Man in LeGore— Brown' Seems the Weakest in the Big Six. Who will be the northern star of the 1914 football firmament? Who is destined to be the Coy of this season’ kickers and runners? This is a ques- tion that is not as important just now as who will win next Saturday’s games, but it 1s a question that will eep the dopesters busy after the gea- son is over. In the first place, none of the best players on the Big Six teams have shone any brighter thus far than many of the best men on smaller colleze teams. Yale has her LeGore. but Tufts has Westcott and Parks. Dartmouth has Ghee, one of the most wonderful ground gainers and end runners of the season, but Williams has Too'an. Har- vard has Tacks Hardwick, but Syra- cuse has Wilkinson. From records thus far, there is no choice anywhere, LeGore seems the best man Yale has in her offense formations. He made seven touchdowns and has kick- ed fourteen goals. Nearly every other play centers around this sterling full- back, and he is the man, if anybody. who will lead Yale over the line when Harvard is met November 21. H work all the ‘season stamps him as the best and most reliable man on the team. Princeton has not a man who can really be classed as great, although the team has not lost a gam s Yet. Every man seems to be par with his fellows. three touchdowns, being the only play- er to cross the boal line more than once this season. Tibbot has kicked four field goa's, and shows much that 1s commendable in that line in the six garm:< he has been in thus far. Ghee is Dartmouth’s favorite, this sturdy quarterback having scored elght touchdowns thus far. Dartmouth has not a man who can kick goals from the field and this is a great weak- ness of the team. The team has been beaten just once, and that by Prince- ton a week ago Saturday. The ability of one of the men to kick a field goal once in a while might have turned de- feat into victory. Two of them would have been a defeat for Princeton, Brown seems to be the weakest team in the Big Six this season, despite the fact that the team has lost but one game, that to Cornell. Gordon, the right halfback, has been doing some scoring in nearly every game, his rec- ovd this far weing one touchdown two jfield goals and four goals from touch- aown.. nis is the best record of any on the team, Harvard has Hardwick. This may mean “defeat for Yale, and then again, nobody can tell. This young end has sScored three touchdowns, one field goal and seven goals from touchdowns. Harvard has met four tough teams in a row, and this has caused less real dope to be, prepared than usual, for the reason that the men have had their hands full just keeping the other team from scoring, and not being able to shine as scoring artists themselves as much as in the past. 4 “Pennsylvania is coming along better and better every week, and in the 'g@ame . with Michigan Saturday will demonstrate whether or not the team is in a class with Harvard. From all dope, there is absolutely no choice be- tween Michigan and Pennsylvania. It seems to be six of one and half-dozens of the other, with the choice for the betting experts to fathom. Sealbach, the doughty left end and Matthews, the sturdy right halfback, who is a dangerous drop kicker from the 40- 'vard line, will’be the main assets for Peg:uy on Saturday. o nceton plays Harvard ‘am- ‘bridge Saturday, Neither team met any team which the other has played this season, and therefore, this dope is ison cannot lie this time, for there jare none.

' It defeated two small teams by small scores, and then managed to e Amherst to a 0 to 0 score. Wes- leyan, one of the weakest teams in the Big Ten of New England this season, was beaten only by a 16 to 0 score. Cornell had ' little difficulty in taking Brown /into camp, 28 to 7. but not least, Brown defeated the Univer- sity of Vermont, 12 to 9, and was mighty lucky to do so. All in all, Brown will have to hump hard to even give Yale a battle, but Brown has al- ways been able to turn a trick or twe against Yale, and this may again be the case this year, One of the best games in the east shou'd be the Tufts-Dartmouth game. Tufts beat New Hampshire by a very big score, and followed by trimming Bates by nearly as big a score. Tu was scored upon in that game, and in the game with Colby but defeated Col- by by a very fair margin. Harvard had a lot of trouble in beating Tufts 13 to 6, and Rutgers, one of the strongest teams in the middle west, had the time of its young life beating Tufts 16 to 7. Tufts had been pre- paring for the Dartmouth game and hopes to win by a big margin. If this happens, it will upset a whole lot of good old dope as handed out by ex- perts from bigger cities. than Hart- ford. MACK UPSETS BASEBALL WORLD. His Waiving on Three Great Is Surprising. When it comes to upsetting the baseball world the best little upsetter in the business is Connie Mack. " The altitudinous Cornelius can pull more amazing stunts to the square inch and get away with it than any half dozen men in the business, and seldom does he pull a durham—meaning a bull At present the sporting universe—at least that part of it which feeds on haseball in all its branches, is stand- ing with its eyes wide open like a timid maiden going through a ceme- tery at midnight during an eclipse of the moon. And all “this is brought about by the announcement coming from Mack via Hugh Jennings at At- lantic City that hé had asked for waiv- ers on that great trio of veteran pitch- ers—Chief Bender, Eddie Plank and Jack Coombs. BEverx..time that Mack meets an emergency he meets it like a Kaiser. There is no ducking, or feinting or bluffing with Connle. He goes right to the point with almost invariably the result that the sporting world is furnished with a sensation that makes a toothsome morsel for the banquet- ers around the winter -fanning. table. Ever since Connie has been leader of the Athletics he has managed the team on strictly Mackian principles, and ac- cording to. the Connie system. For evidence of the way he does things one does not have to ransack his mem- chers ory to any great extent to remember the way he rid himself and his team of:one of the two greatest outfielders in the history of the great national pastime. This same being Joe Jack- son. Connie did everything within that great generous, considerate power of his to be good to Jackson. He hu- mored, coaxed and pleaded with the ‘wonderful southerner to try and mold him into the Mack way of making a ball player of -himself, and mainly ‘with the hope of having Shoeless Joe take himself and his profession seri< ously. This Mack tried for more than two seasons. Finally one day on the return from one of the western trips when Mack had fully convinced himself that Jack- son had about gotten over his baby thicks, he was sitting behind Joe i has | the train, without the player's knowl. edge. One of Jackson's mates was sit- ting with him and the train passed a platform on which were standing quantity of empty milk cans. - Accord- ing to the legend, Jackson is sald to bhave looked out the window, gave one of those sighs that tells more elo- quently. than words how much one is e to sfem the tide or turn it the other way. But he was satisfied if Harvard won, and since Harvard did win, he saved his two All-American plavers. bored with himself and surroundings, and turning to his seat mate remark- ed, “Hi, hum.- I wish Connle would tie one of them there cans on me. Mack had his ear close to the “velvet’ and heard it all. Reaching over he touched Jackson on the shoulder and said, “Joe, you are going to get your wish. I have a nice little can in my office that will just fit you.” 10u ai, rememoer how Joe was sent to Cleveland shortly after for Bris Lord and a hunk of money. Well that's the way Mack makes up his mind and he does it without calling for a meet- ing of the board of directors or send- ing a te'egram to his wife asking if it's all right, Claude Derrick is an- other who in the heyday of what prom- ised to be one of the diamond’s great- est career, was dropped from the Mack pay roll with a bump that parted his hair in the middle. In the same typical summary man- ner he handled this new crisis, the most sensational in the eventful and triumphal history of the gaunt genius of the Athletics.” In fact there has not been a baseball move in ten years that has caused more .gab than Connie’s action in shiftinug the scemery pre- tory to the releasing, in one sum lump, of the three greatest pitchers who ever occupied berths at the sam time on any one ba'l club. When t baseball multitude read the tid Saturday, it squinted, read it a then took off its glasses, cleaned and then took another look,.and it was true.

To date Haughton has been crafty in his maneuvres, especially when he was pressew the haraest.

He did it successfully, how- cver, and now Mahan and Pennocl with an extra week of rest, will be i far better condition to slash into Prin- ceton on Saturday and into Yale on November 21. Throughout the present season, since he was first handicapped wholsale injuries in his camp, Haugh- ton has put on the fleld just enough football strength to win the day for Harvard. It is a notable fact that in the Penn State game, when Harvard was tied, Haughton was absent on scout dul The Michigan game is another example of his method of con- servation. He had Mahan and Pen- nock on the side lines, and if Michi- gan were beating Harvard, it is very likely that he would have pressed Secretary Herring of the Princeton football committee says Princeton wants to keep Dartmouth on its sched- ule. He admits it unfair to ask Dart- mouth to visit Princeton every year, but can see no relief for the New Hampshire men. Princeton’s rules say only one game can be played out of town every year. That means the Yale or Harvard game# Again, the same rules say Princeton must play only on colieze grounds. If Dartmouth was to entertain Princeton it could not do it in F r.
