The game which is bound popular in any couniry is the game which the poor boy can play without great expense. One of these is baseball, another is soccer. Doth are open air sports, and both require about the same qualities, viz, speed, brains and il the wealthy. Soccer has spread to all corners of the earth in the wake of the colonizing Englishman. It has spread all over Europe and the soldiers in the great war play it between battles. It has with ravid strides in Amer- fca until now there are teams here which can put up credible exhibitions of the eport. Some of the great English teams have been known to come over here and a setback they mo more. ex- m.fi'fm- did the American baseball found the islanders could every now and then put one over on them. Speed, brains and ability to use the feet with as much accuracy as the hands are necessary in the making of a great soccer player. It is seldom that & player who has not been at the game from childhood is of much use, as the kicking is the hardest of the game to learn. It requires more gractice than hockey or lacrosse, "or ball, as in these games the hands are used most, while in soccer the hands are out of the game. Soccer is a comparatively new game. It is not 60 years old. In the early *708 1t was tried out in England and an association formed, fn which the rugby game was discarded and the players Dot allowed to handle the ball with Chicago, Dec, 17—To: the complete surprise of baseball players, press and public, Clarence Henry Rowland, last year pilot of a team in a class B cir- cuit, today was named manager of t.ho" Chicago American league club, | conceded to be a pennant contender in 1915. Many Chicago baseball fol- Jowers had never heard of Rowland, but in professional basepall circles Be win well known 4% la\!cc!ml manager of minor league clubs. The new leader left the ranks of players for his first managers posi- tion at Aberdeen, Washn. in 1908, Thence he went to Jacksonville Fia., and then returned to Dubuque Three 1 league club. Last season he man- aged the Peoria team in the Three I league, takigg it from last place to secon: Rowiand will assume his new dutles soon. His arrival will be the signal for the retirement of James J. Cal- lahan, who has led the Chicago Amer- jcans ‘three seasons. Callahan will be reinsured or|appointed to some position connected with the business affairs of the club, it was announced, with the idea that Gold Dollars for 90| eventually he will be able to shoulder some of the duties now falling to Owner Comiskey. The disposition of Kid Gleason, coach and adviser to Callahan, was not giv- en out, but it was rumored he might be appointed manager of the New York Americans. The shift in_manazement, with the eppointment of Eddie Collins as cap tain in place of Weaver, Indicates a change in the field policy of the White iox. Rowland was born in Plattesville, Wis,, and is 33 yvears old. His con- tract as Sox manager is for one year. The salary was not announced, TENNIS ASSOCIATION WILL HOLD IMPORTANT MEETING Expected to Be Most Important in the History of the Association. New York, Dec. 17.—The meeting of the executive committee of the United States National Lawn Tennis associa~ tion here tomorrow Is expected to be the most important in the history of the association. The chief business will be, to review and the issue of the national ranking list prepared by F. C. Inman, chairman; W. M. Hall and W. L. Pate. The report of this rating . committee is said to mark an epoch in American lawn tennis. P. E. Presbrey, Boston, will report on ‘awarding a standard gold medal to_all national champions. George T. Ades will report as to the tests to which the official ball adopted for tournaments should be subjected. A. L. Hoskins, Philadelphia, will re- port on the adoption of official col- ors and a seal for the association. R. D. Little will offer elaborate plass for the institution of tournaments, for schoolboys under national supervision. No action will be taken as to chang- Newport to other: curts at -tisis meet- ing. B. F. Torrey, of Clinton, New York, secretary of the national body, will read the correspondence with Aus- trallia as to the prospect of Davis cup matches next year. The advisability of America challenging will be dis- cussed but will not be acted upon un- til the annual meeting in February in this city. Torrey has prepared elab- orate reports of the Davis cup match- s, the All-Comers at Ne and other important features of game. It is expected that the twenty execu- tives from various sections of the country wiil attend the two days’ meeting.

The SorTy part of it all for -Yale, however, is that the eyes of the world were watching Cap- tain Talbot's football team in the new bowl Nov. 21, and the routing it re- ceived from the ard players scat- tered to parts of the globe that will never hear of the victories Yale achieved over Harvard in 1914 in crew racing, baseball and track athletics. It 18 mot at all doudtful, either, that Yale would not sacrifice those victories |- in the other three major sports to have whipped Harvard in football, although the crew race, especially, was sweet for Eli. A victory in football over Harvard, of the same 36 to 0 propor- tions, would have gone a long way toward blotting out all previous sores and scores. Probably the second event in im- portance to the Yale-Harvard football game_during the past vear was the Yale-Haryard crew race,which the Elis gathered in by a margin that even vet is disputed. Experts who saw the finish are still debating whether the nose of the Yale craft sped Dy the final buoy four inches or four feet ahead of the Harvard shell, but the race was a Yale victory, all right, and tiets, inaide Roun Smokea Shous [Laso ot b ders, 1 orns ect, 12-.

Men who are not identified with the management of the sport make this assertion without reserve. It is the prevailing opinion that unless the players become active to the situation the game will go to the dogs. Con- tract jumpers and excessive salary de- mands’ have convinced the fans that thero is comparatively little sentiment among the players. Before the Fed- eral league was organized the players were liberally pald and had few griev- ances. Their employers built costly stadlums in practically all the major league cities, thereby incurring heavy financial burdens, with the idea that the sport would gain increased popu- larly. But the piayers, it would seem, have no mercy for their employers and are eager to get 2 large portion of the spoils.
