The stocky Harvard captain, anxious to show he had regained his former strength and Kdeking ability, begged for a chance to play against Brown last Saturday, but was persuaded not to take need- lose risks. The Yale battle will be a different matter. Harvard has seen the power of the Blue this year and realizes it must utilize has otf faculty to defeat the ferocious Bulldog and win an- other football championship. Knowing the hard task that con- fronts his team, Brickley insists that be allowed to go in against Yalo— at least to shoot over a couple of goals. He is willing to assume all personal risks.

Remember Eddie Hart and what he did for Princeton in 1911? The most eminent surgeons at Johns Hopkins X-rayed his neck from many angles and declared that one of the cervical vertebrae was cracked and one more hard tackle might easily end his life. But Eddie Hart had promised to play football as much and as well as he could, and he had no thought of quit- ting. Ho simply had a great helmet made of leather and steel, and played the beat gamen of his life, Columbia men will never forget Will- fam Meikieham, whom moat of us know chiefly as an uncommonly able referee at New London.

There are times when even a baseball magnate can overplay his hand in trying to remain mysterious for pur- poses of publicity. There is not a chance of stringing the story out until the meeting here Dec. 8, so Garry had better come through or the scribes will be flat on their backs. As @ matter of fact, this thing of stalling along about the Federal League is getting altogether too tire- jome to be of interest. There appears tu be no good reason why tho mag- nates should not come out in the open, late their position and have it over with, It certainly would not hurt them with the public, There are times when secrecy is necessary to the completing of a trade of players, but certainly no harm can be done by Herrmann making public the result For the first time in many it showed a los: Reds May Land |Harry Kaiser, the “‘Baby’’ of Race, Huggins Again| Only Turned “Pro’’ Last Sunday BT.

Kaiser has a physique that should carry him through, He is about five feet eight inches tall d weighs 16% pounds. Although he holds the sprint championship of America ho was a road racer as far back as five years ago, Ho always displayed the stamina for a long-distance event.

Kaiser showed what he is made of early yesterday morning when several teams were lapped. Moran and Mc- Namara and Jackie Clark and hia partner started a sprint that was kept up for fifteen minutes. Their plan was to wear down Kaiser. But the veterans never could shake the young Bronxite, He relieved Cam- eron every time there was danger and finally the big teams gave up the sprint.

Ir these nates are endeavoring to attract more attention to the grand old p time by keeping under cover, they are in @ tair way to kili the goose that lays the golden egg. Mr. Herrmann has promised to tell us all about it this week, but he had better hurry or organized buseball ay well as the Teds will be without an audience. Edward Barrow, President of the International League, who has just returned from the minor league meet- ing at Omaha, sees nothing partic larly bright in the basebail outlook. Mr. Barrow makes no bones of admit- ting that the Federal Leayue has done his organization much harm, and he realizes the necessity of a working agreement, but, at present, he says nothing has been done that will relieve the situation. If the Fed- eral League is absorbed by the Inter- national, ie it will be im- possible for either of them to take care of the many players who ha’ been Bane at big sal tl The baseball writers’ union has worked for two months without com- plaining in selling the Cubs, the Highlanders and the Dodgers, but they flatly refused to go an inch fur- erday when some one at the six-day race passed the word around that the Jersey City club was on the market, That was asking too much, The Wards proved themselves gluttons for punishment—the real Joe Grimms of baseball—when in a public statement they declarsd that they are opposed to peace right now and would prefer to have the Feds start in and shoot @ fresh bank roll beginning April next. If things don't stop pretty soon some wonderful records will be made in baseball salesmanship this winter. Two business men uptown—men who don’t have to think up such things for ‘a living—had the Phillies sold to the Wards before noon yesterday. Peace may come and players may return, but you can go and bet that ike Doolin will not return to the Phillies as long as President Baker is at the head, We heard their quarrel at the world’s tourists’ din- ner just after Mike had jumped to the Feds. There have been many ways of proving that Charlie Murphy owns or does not own stock in the Cubs, but the most unique is pointed out by Cy Seymour, who declares that the famous “water wagon" clause was taken out of the Chicago contracts last spring, an important fact that EDITED BY ROBERT EDGREN Herrmann Should State Result Of the Negotiations With Fedé IRA THOMAS IS NOW DAME RUMOR’S CHOICE FOR YANKEES’ MANAG he veteran catcher of tics, and who once played on the Hilltops, is go+ ing to be selected as manager of the local American Leaguers, Ban Johnson, President of the American League, Is due here any day now, and it is sald that he favors Thomas as local leader, * Another purpose of Johnson's said to be the transfer stock in the Yankees by William 8, Devery.

McCarthy knocked out Jack Driscoll of Brooklyn in the second round of their scheduled ten-round bout at the Olympic A.C. This was McCarthy’s third bout in less than a week and in each instance has shown good fighting ability. Driscoll was no match for McCarthy. The Brook- lynite was sent to the mat twice for the count of nine in the first round from hgrd lefts and rights to the jaw. MoCarthy was quick to take advan- tage of Driscoll's weak condition im the second round and knocked him down twice again for the count of nine, Driscoll arose groggy, and Mc- Carthy, setting himeeif, landed a hard left and right to the jaw that put Driscoll out for good. It took several minutes to bring Driscoll back to con- sciousness. —$—<s———— CURLEY SAYS JOHNSON HAS SIGNED TO FIGHT WILLARD Match for Heavyweight Champion- ahip Seems Assured Now.
