CHICAGO, Nov. 10.—The latest baseball report here is that Charlie Ebbete is going to nell the Dodgers to the Ward@of the Fedora! League and that the Cubs will be sold to Weegh- man. One thing is sure, the latter hae an option op the local team and is negotiating for ite purchase—even Garry Herrmann, Chairman of the National Commission, admitting this. The rumor that Ebbets will sell out to the Wards wae given color by the presence of both Ebbets and Preal- dent Kobert Ward of the Brookfeds here. That basaball peace ie near at hand was evidenced by the frequent con- ferences between various lighte of Organised Baseball and the so-called outlawa, Weeghman, Herrmann, Ward, Ebbets, Johnson and Robert- son of the Buffeds are some of the diamond magnates that held secret sessions.

He devised a new style of football that was built especially around Le Gore. To carry out his ideas Hinkey sent to Canada ae, imported half a dozen rugby rs, for Yale's 1914 brand of football \con dined many variations of the English rugby game. What happened? ‘The Blue in tts first games introduced an attack that has been the marvel of its rivals. It was merely a dash of basketball and rugby, but it worked like magic.

Le Gore’ record punt was a sixty-seven-ya drive against Colgate, when he was} forced to kick from the back of nis! own goal line. Le Gore's first bid for fame came when he was a student at Mercer- burg. The youngster, who was des- tined to make such a big name for himself at Yale, played shortstop on tho baseball team. It came time to tackle Lawrenceville, Mercerburg’s bitterest rival. Le Gore's contribution in that contest was a home run that! cleaned up the bases and beat Law- renceville, Fritz, one of La Gore's teammates that yei entered professional base- ball ena is now with the Chicago club of the Federal League.

HROUGH the efforts of the Pub- Ne Schools Athletic League about 1,500 boys and half as many girls are being taught each week how to swim. The course of swimming, which was introduced first last y means that within a few years practically every boy and girl in the elementary schools will know how to swim. The main object is to lessen the number of deaths each year from drowning. In England aquatics is one of the regular courses at achool. The re- sult is that almost everybody in Eng- land can take care of himself or her- aelf in water. ‘We got the idea from the other side,” sald John McHugh, “and if they will provide enough pools we'll teach every youngster how to swim before he reaches the higher grade: Just at pr there are four pools available in hattan.

J., Nov. 10.—The Princeton eleven starts practising again this afternoon for its final game of the season. There is no time to make the team over, but only enough to put more life and power into the offense, which is so weak. Eddie Hart is going to be given a freer hand in coaching the team, asghe {s about the only man down here qualified to put real fire into a team, and if any man can do it, he can. The team is & most discouraged lot of players, but the sting of the defeat at the hands of Harvard is going to drive them to play as they never have this season. The men came in last night on the 9.30 train from Lenox, Mass., where all who took part in the game on Sat- urday went to take a rest. Keene Fitzpatrick that there were no injuries and that all the men came through the contest in good shape. To show that they still believe in the team and that they expect to play a different game against Yale the whole student body poured out onto the campus last night a few minutes after 9 o'clock and went down in a body to meet the team with cheers It had a great effect in ing the players and making them realize that the college is behind them.
