By Bozeman Bulger. N an effort to avert the threatened I break in the American League there ts a project on foot to buy out the New York and Bostdn Clubs. Though the emisbarles who, havé per- sistently sought options for the past fow days will not reveal the names of the financiers behind them, it ts believed they are favorable to the Ban Johnson faction and are adopt- ing this as the only course out of the muddle, A peculiar and rather puzzling feature to these activities is that the same emissaries are eagerly trying te get an option on the Brooklyn Club, Unless it be simply for invest- ment purposes it Is difficult to as- certain just what men interested in the welfare of the American League should want with Brooklyn. A man who claims to have been instrumenta! in the preliminary ne- gotiations for the Gian when the Stoneham and McQuaid -istere: bought the club asRed me yesterda if I thought it possible to buy th nks for $600,000. At this the two Colonels merely laughed. They say they will not consider a sale at any price until the fight with Ban John- son is ended, Three men, approaching the deal from different angles, have asked that Harry Frazee set a price on the Bos- ton Red Sox. [t is remembered that when Ban Johnson tried some time ago to get Frazee out by purchasing the club the Red Sox owner said that he would sell if he got his price, That price, though, is around $1,900,000, and up to the present nobody has seen fit to talk business. Frazee is also a fighter and will not be tricked tnto selling his club to the opposition, He has declined to give an option. These men would gladly pay $1,000,- y e thinks it’s all over but the dividing of the prize money. AJOR J. FRANKLIN DUN- SEITH, commanding officer of the ist Field Hospital, N. Y¥.

Th show will be staged a# a part of @ spectacular recruiting campaign and will be open to the general public. Roche will engage the best wrestlers in the country to compete; in fact, he plans to stage one of the best wres- Ulng programmes ever presented in this section of the country, Billy already has made an attractive offer to Zoyszko to meet the best op- ponent that can be secured on this date.

For years he has made good as a referee in championship bouts in the West, where it was necessary to re: der a decision at the end of hostilities, He won renown for his grit, as he made it a rule never to declare a draw, Often he had to make his way from the ring through a mob of frenzied men, who had either bet on the loser or were his friends. Roche never feared apybody.

Anybody who knows the senti- ment of Chicago toward Comiskey and his club, though, knows the im- possibility of such a move as that. The weakness in this plan to estab- lish peace in the Américan League js that it would be necessary to buy out the three richest clubs, the ones that make the most money. It would be far easier to buy out the wther five clubs, In fact, the amount of money necessary to purchase Yanks, Red Sox and White Sox would be more than enough to buy out the rest of} the League. The receipts in New York, Boston and Chicago are far Bre vou ned, The Ban Johnson supporters are not going to lick the triumvirate that way, not by a jugfull. The Colonels, Frazee and Comiskey insist that they have got to do it in the courts, if at all, They are perfectly willing to put their case in the hands of a civil court and that is what they*ve done. Not only have they made another demand on the National Commission to pay over the money to the Yanks, but the Board of Directors has called the annual meeting to be held in New York instead of Chicago. And they are willing to let the question of their suthority under the constitution to do that rest with the courts. A mes- senger has gone to Chicago to de- maud of Johnson geome evidence of bis legal election to the Presidency of the League and the Directors await the mussenger’s return with a lot of interest. In the mean time the Rules Com- mittee of organized baseball is get- ting ready for its meeting three weeks from now, The furore over the aboli- tion of the spitball and the shine ball appears to have subsided somewhat, but it is sure to rise again, It n levelops that some of the star players ve no objection at all. Hod Eller, for instance, claims that he can pitch just as well without the use of his shiner, Gene McCann, the scout, even goes So far as say that Eller’s shiner was always a bluff to fool the batter; that he does not really use it, Somehow, Kid Gleason, who was here yesterday, expresses doubt on that stat ter than all the rest of the cities!

HE Harvard football quartered at the Essex Coun- try Club here to-day and things will be taken easy until the time for its return to Cambridge. Last night was one round of fun, until bed time call was issued at 10 o'clock. ,Phil Philbin, the substitute centre, is @ great plano player, and a quartet of Tom Woods, Tubby Clark, Jack Des- mond and Billie Murray, made merry all evening. Coach Bob Fisher has finally de- cided on his lineup for to-morrow's game. Jack Desmond and Ralph Hor- ween are not to start, Morris Phinney replacing the former and Arnold Hor- ween takjng his brotiers place. The lineup against Yale will b Left end, Phinney; left tackle, Sedgewick; left guard, Wood. centre, Havmeyer; ‘right guard, Clark; right tackle, Kane; right end, le; quarterback, Murray; left halfback, Humphrey; right halfback, Casey; fullback, A. Hor- ween. Some of the players returned to cambridge where they had classes 1o attend, In an article in the Harvard Advocate, Eddie Mahan writes: “There has been nothing mysterious about the Haughton ‘system. It has meant simply the application of com- mon sense to football strategy and teaching of principles so derived. Isriefly outlined, those principles are as follows: “Most of the penalties in football at- tach to the team which is in possession of the ball. Offsides, holding, seven men on the line of scrimm: five yards back when you forward pass, hurdling and so on, all these tend to make things more difficult for the of- than for the defense, Further- the danger of fumbling and the of fatigue are grave disad- to the attacking teams. da rd, therefore, has always 1 (Wat the soundest strategy is to kick whenever the ball is in your own territory, You thereby insure yourself against the majority of pen- alties and against the risk of rumble, you keep your halfbacks fresh and you place ail of these obligations im mediately on the other side. The in stant that you get the ball in your cpponents’ territory you start your attack, you throw in your heavy ar- tillery, you work the concealed runs and forward passes that you have been saving for this opportunity, and | your chances for scoring are excel- lent. “For a while Harvard kept a sci- entific record of funrbles. In one sea- |son it was found that thirty-seven | fumbles recovered led directly to a score. So important is this factor that it becomes a definite part. of strategy. Harvard has always been coached not only how to recover fum- bles but actually to expect them as being in the course of the game. “Perfect interference, or nearly perfect as it can be, has always been a mark of Haughton strategy. Witb- out it all the subtlety of wheellig runs, criss-crosses and delayed pusses would be of little avail, “On the defense Harvard has con- stantly sgught to stop the plays be- fore they have begun, Against Frank Hinkey’s Yale team of 1914, which based its attack on a series of lateral passes, that policy was pursued to its extrem We had that year un- usually fast and heavy forwards, who tore through and spoiled nearly every one of those passes in their inception. By so doing a very menacing attack peng balked, and Yale had little else eft. “Haughton has gone, but the sim- Plicity and soundness of his prin- ciples will continue to exercise a pre- dommating influence over Harvard football. a YALE 1S WROUGHT UP OVER BILL EDWARDS’S NEWSPAPER INTERVIEW.

Interest among the students, is at fever heat and all are confident of victory, especially after the stir- ring speeches made yesterday by Capt. Callahan and former Capt. Black, who, by the way, has not for- gotten how to make a fight-producing speech. None of the coaches or players would give out any prediction as to the outcome of the game, but the Prevalent spirit Is one of optimism. Jim Braden, who was used up to quite an extent against Princeton, has not returned to anything near his former condition. Consequently it is thought that he will not be able to play throughout the whole game. But until jt is necessary to take him out there will be no sparing of him in Kempton's attempts to get the most out of him by the line plunging route. He will probably make any drop-kick attempts that Yale tries at the first of the game, while Murphy will prob- ably be sent in for any at the end of the game. If HKraden cannot stand the strain of the game a suitable sub stitute would be either Don Welles, Fred Webb or Jack French, all of whom have started in different games this season. “Big Bill’ Edwards's stinging article accusing the Yale coach of leaving the Yale Bowl uncovered for the purpose of beating Princeton on a slippery fleld to-day brought forth an editortal from the Yale Daily News, which follows: ? The remarks of Collector Will- jam H. (“Big Bill") Edwards Tues night's New York B ning Sun can hardly # unno- ticed, Yale men and Princeton, too, we trust, are sorry that Mr. Edwards should have taken the attitude which he did regarding Yale’s failure to cover the field on Friday night with hay.
