The name of T. L. Huston, a former United States army _engineer, who made a fortune in Havana harbor work, also was linked with that of Colonel Ruppert in the purchase of the ‘Yankees. Mr. Huston said that he was not financially interested’ in the deal, but had been consulted .by - Colonel Ruppert as to the advisability of pur- chasing. the club. It was reported that there would be a meeting of the Amer- jcan league in this city on Friday, at which time transfer of the Y: ees’ ownership would be considered from all angles and the deal possibly completed if suitable terms could be agreed upon. ‘The National league magnates fail- ed to disclose any similar sensations, but a number of investigating resolu- tions were adopted at ‘the first- meet- ing of the ssenior organization mag- nates, in which a policy of financial retrenchment was clearly ble. An amendment to the constitution was adopted limiting the number of play- ers to be carried by any club between the period from May 1 to Sept. 1 to 21.

It was re- ported that in the first six bouts he earned more than $25,000. _ The American fight fans paid this to see a champion, but as a champion he has failed to come up to the stan- dard set by his predecessors. If his performances since coming to this country are to be taken as a criterion he is overrated. His bouts with Charley White, Johnny Duffy and Young Shugrue are conclusive of that.

EXCEPTIONAL FOOTBALL SEASON It is reported that Welsh’s next op- ponent will be Joe Mandot, and he will take him on in a championship battle 'over the 20-round route. Mandot is a clever lightweight, but has found the going hard of late. Probably Welsh, looking for something easy, and not wishing to endanger his title, has evaded Charley White and Young Shu- grue for a battle over the champion- ship- route. But Welsh’s last fight with Young Shugrue convinced the fans that he was not a champion of the first order. The youthful Jerseyite outfought and outslugged him in elght of the ten rounds, and in the other wto earned a draw. Welsh received a real beating for a champion. pended In order to prevent the Federal league from obtaining promising play- ers. A resolution also was adopted which fixed March 1 as the earliest date upon which a elub could report for spring training, but this is understood not to cover the individual spring training of veteran pitchers who may desire to ‘work a week or two ahead of the club's squad. The league went on record as opposed tp barnstorming trips after the close of the season, and a commit- tee was appointed to draw up a clause covering this abuse as an amendment to the constitution at the next annual meeting. According to Secretary Heydler there ‘was no reference made to the proposed extenslon of the world’s series from seven to nine games, the Federal league or the controversy between the Brooklyn and Cincinnati clubs regard- ing the money Involved in the Tinker deal of last spring. The league adopted a resolution granting the national association a member on the joint playing rules committee, thus increasing the mem- bership to seven, for each major leagus is represented by three members. A new board of directors was also elected the right to select one or two playvers from the White Sox roster. From an- other source it was _ reported that Comiskey gave the Philadelphia club $50,000 for Collins’ release and agreed to pay the same sum to the' second baseman during the next five years. The deal was considered an excellent one from an American league stand- point, since it gives the Chicago club one of the stars of the game to fill a weak spot in the Whité Sox lineup at a time when the Federal league s pre- paring to wage a bitter contest for Chicago patroneg ‘during the season of 1915. Close followers of baseball in Philadelphia gave it as their opinion that the release of Collins by Connie Mack was In line withi the reported policy of the Philadelphia club to re- uuce expenses to a point in line with the gate receipts and -the = general American league plan to readjust the strength of various clubs in the junior organization.

Dooin feels that on account of his long and faithful service with the Philadelphia club he is entitled to his unconditional release, but this Mr. Baker refuses to grant him. “Many of the assets of the club have been dragged away by the Feds,” said the owner of the Phillies, “and I fail to see why I should dissipate another asset, for Charlle Dooin is an asset, with a free hand. I hope to come to an agreement with Charlie so that he may be used in a trade. If any club wants him as a manager I will not stand in his way and by our league rule on accolnt of his length of ser- vice, he is entitled to an uncondi- tional release if no other club in the National league wants him, but know we could never get waivers on him.” Dooin, when told of what Baker had said, declared that the only citles where he would be willing to play were New York, Brooklyn and Bos- ton. He sald that he could have be- come a member of the Braves last summer,- but that Baker stood in his wa Dooin declared that he thought a number of the Phillies would jump to the Feds before the beginning of the season.

Practically All Big Games Won by Large Scores—Big Attendances Witnessed Games, With the playing of the Army- Navy game on Saturday. the regular football season came to an end. It 1s rather curious that most of the big games this year re- sulted in one-sided scores. There was such a large margin of victory that it robbed the winning team of much of the glory. To start with, Harvard defeated Princeton easily, and defeat ed Yale even more easily. Having disposed of Michigan and all other teams of not that they met, gave Harvard undisputed title to the championship. The Yale-Princeton game ‘was probably the fought of any of tue important con- flicts. Although Yale won, Princeton finished so strong that many were of the opinion that had Princeton adopt- ed the same tactis' in the first half of the game as she did in the latter part the Tigers could have won. That e was an exception to the rule. ennsylvania was snowed under at Ann Arbor, and Cornell, after defeat- ing Michigan, played Pennsylvania and had .a much harder time winning because Penn played her best game|be of the year, while it was evident that the Cornell team had gone back some since the Michigan game. The season's play brought to light more of the possibilities under the re- vised rules, and in that respect it was 2 most successful one. The attendances at the games were better than ever before, with the exception of those at Franklin field. where thero was a shringage about in proportion to the success of the team. The early de- feats and the failure of the team- to make good later, deprived Pennsyl- vania from enjoying the patronage that otherwise would naturally have been hers. The very fact that record- breaking crowds turned out at Cam- bridge, Princeton ‘and New Haven is good proof that the present game of football is meeting with popular ap- proval.

Chicago, Dec. 8.—Ninety percent of the population of Brussels is dependent for its food upon aid from the United States, according to a special despatch received by the Chicago Dally News today from the Belgian capital. Ths despatch was dated November 23. The wretchedness of the long frozen lines of perscns waiting in fromt .of the soup kitchens, the despatch said, showed the desperate condition of the populace. “‘Parents, elder borthers and sisters come to these stations to get food for their dependents,” the despatch con- tinued. “They. line up in front of windows, through which girl volun- teers pass vessels. Two tots of six and seven came for milk and phosphatine for younger children Their shoes howed toes raw with cold through eat holes. “Economically speaking, the status of Brussels could not well be worse. Ninety percent of the bread winning population, more than 70,000 people, depend for dally existence upon the soup kitchens. And this, too, despite the fact that there is bread for sale In mearly every bakery, that the pastry shops are piled high with cakes and currant bread.

JOSEPH T. dec9d Administrator. AT A COURT OF PROBATE NELD at Norwich, within and for the District of Norwich, l)ll4 the 8th day of Decem- advocates of the old mass play game are quickly being won over to the newer game, and hard'y one can be found who would favor a return to the old style. . The possibilities of the game were well developed, and enough was shown to lead to the thought that everything possible has not been thought out, and that next year even a higher type of same will be pro- duced. The pre: #t game has been responsible for the development of a rather different type of player than whom we are accustomed to associatae with football. There are many play- ers of the past who would be as great players today as they were when they donned the moleskins, but the gen- eral type of man has changed. Now there is a big premium upon quick thinking and alertness first, with weight as a secondary consideration. | measuring of wits with the opponent |The game of today requires more than ever before, as there is a greater degree of concealment in every rlay, and the greater perfection of the forward pass, with its many varia- tions, calls for_.a most alert and elas- tic stvle of defense and very ready deefnders. The lateral passes as imported from the Canadian Rugby game. were an Innovation in our game this year. Yale made greater and better use of hem than any other team. However, jthey were not found to be altogether | dependable any more. than the for- ward pass. But it is quite possible, indeed, very probable, that they will be more skilfully and more generally used. Yaie showed what may be done with such plays in the game against Princeton. Against Harvard a week later the same plays were not as pro- ductive of ground gaining. It may be sald that nothing seemed of any avail against Harvard. The Navy employ- ed the lateral pass and the result was a loss of ground. But it may again be remarked that nothing the Navy could do seemed to worry the Army any more than Yale's best moves frus- trated Harvard. So, lack of success is not due any more.to the plays than it is due to the team using them. The concealment of the direct at- tack seemed to reach a high state of perfection by many of the teams. Harvard concealed her plays wonder- fully well, and, with the great ma- chine-like precision of her whole team, relied almost entirely upon well established and well known plays to gain ground for he As worked by Harvard, such plays proved to be more valuable in advancing the ball than any of the new methods em- ployed. In other words, the teams that could present a strong defense, elastic enough to repell forward passes and alert enough to cope with line plunges and -end rums, and equipped with a few plays well con- cealed and admirably executed, were more dangerous than others relying upon forward passing, kicking and the loose style of play Harvard Men Celebrate. of its kind.

This is especially true as regards the western theatre, where the allies made a number of attacks which always were defeated. That decisive action may be ex- pected any day is indicated by a re- port from hesdquarters saying that “everything is proceeding according te our programme.” This is taken here to mean that thus far, the German operations have been successful. Much encouragement has been de- rived here from the recent Russian re- ports, which are considered much less confident in tone than formerly.
