FIGHTFOR FRANCHISE
Several Clubs Trying to Get Into
the Western League.

Several Clubs Trying to Get into
the Western League.
Chicago. Nov 13.AThere is no likelihood
Of any change in the membership OF the
Western League. while Des Moines and
Detroit are applicants for the franchises
held last season by Grand Rapids and
Columbus on one year arrangement, their
applications are looked upon with disfav-
or and their appears to be no strong op-
position to q renewal of the Grand Rapids
and Columbus franchises.
Omaha also was talked of for place
in the league, but there seems to be no
possibility of the Nebraska city getting
in; in fact. it would be difficult matter
to arrange schedule to satisfactorily
cover the territory with eight clubs, if one
were located SO far away from the center
While surprises are possible in this, as
in all matters, the feeling today is that
the Western League in '97 will contain
exactly the same clubs that fought for su-
premacy in '96.
Today's session was called for IL O'Clock,
but the magnates evinced no disposition
to hurry, and 1t was noon before Presi-
dent Johnson raped his associates to
order and the League got down to business.

There are three important things to bear
In mind by those who are figuring IN
Penns ylvania's chances against Harvard,
viz, the possibility OF the quarterback
"flunking." which would break up the
entire team; the proba bility Of Brown
doing lot of kicking and the Penns ylvania
backs muffing the hall and losing it near
their own goal line, thus affording Harvard
chance to score, and the uncertainty
OF Penns ylvania's kicking, for it should
be remembered that it was on a poor kick
into the rush line, instead OF over the
line, by Minds that made it possible for
Quakers.
The evening times., 1896-11-13

So far as the result OF the Pennsylvania
Harvard game is concerned, a great de al
depends upon whether the Red and Blue
team Will keep up their present form as
shown in the Indian game, and what luck
Harvard has in getting her cripples in
shape 10 play by the end of next week
IT Harvard is able TO play Frank Shaw
at center, Wheeler and Donald at tackle,
and Capt. wrigbting,on at balf-back-a all
of whom We're unable to go into last
Saturdays eame-and Cabot and Arthur
Brewer are in good shape, she will have a
decidedly stronger team than she had
against Princeton.

The more the unbiased football enthusiast
anal Yves the strength and Weakness Of the
four teams which win play in the two big
games on November 21 T.. the more apparent
it must become to him that neither has any
great advantage over the other, and that
both contests promise to be not only close
and interesting, but among the best ever
fought out on the football field
Hence, ii would be well for those who
intend to back the winners to proceed
cautiously in making their selections

i If the day Of the Princeton Yale game is
marred by mud and rain the supporters of
the Tigers will not have their confidence
lessened in the slightest degree, for their
pets proved themselves yesterday to be
mud larks OF the first water.
just as the Tigers and the opposing scrub
eleven emerged upon the already sodden
ground the floodgates OF the skies greeted
them with cOpous blessing upon their
heads. and yet the men Were put through
two fifteen-minute halves of the hardest
kind OF football. while the rest of the
college sat upon the pine-soaked stands
and cbeered their hoarsencss all away.

The football enthusiasts who think they
have gotten q correct line on the college
football teams had better go slow in pick
ing the winners OF the coming Harvard
Pennsylvania and Princeton Yale games.
On form, Pennsylvania and Princeton look
like winners, DIV week hence tnere ina
be different aspect and the situation en-
tirely changed.
One thing must not be forgotten in prog
nosIlcaLIng on the result or the New York
game, and that is that YaL. alwayscome up
strong "a the last moment, and tnat she has
a most enviable record behind her.
There is an old adage about Yale
LUCK" in when Lnere Is some truth, but
IL would be more proper to call it Yale
pluck for the New haven university has
acquired her enviable athletic record more
through the never-g -give-up spirit OF do Sn
right pluck, than through that other factor
or element called luck.
That big white Y on the blue sweaters
OF Yaie's athletes has most disheartening
influence upon the athletes OF other col
leges, and has overawed many OF them IN
the past, as it will probably continue to
frigh0en them for some years 10 come IN the
future.

Most people who have picked Prince
ton 10 win are banking almost entirely
upon Yale's supposed weakness instead
of the Tigers superior strength. This
supposed weakness is based upon Yale's
loose and erratic pla wing thus far this sea
son. 1t is true that Yale has this year
not been playing Yale football, but this
may be attributed solely to the tact that
practice in team work has been started
later than usual simply because the coaches
have Teen busy cAperiru, ntIng with new
material To make the places OF the vetcr-
ans who have graduated and whose va
cant positions must now be filled.
Inc CUdcues have BUw sIACn thor
ough trial to all the new pla ycrs, and by
this time know almcst definitely who the
eleven men are VINO Will BE- pittcd against
Princeton ON November 81, SO that in the
meantime all energies VIII be directed to-
ward perfecting The team work and drill
ing the men in the style of game they are
TO play against tie Tigers.

Whether the big will have a parai wing

meeting OF the stockholders of the
Calumet Base Ball Park association was
held in the Town Hall last evening and

represented. The board OF directors for
the ensuing year was elected a. follows:
John d. Cuddihy, F. A. Kohlhaas. p. W.
Grierson. W. Il. Harris, and Ed Ulseth.
OF the above +. A. Kohlhaas was chosen
president and John ID. Cuddihy secretary
and treasurer.
The plan OF putting in a bicycle track
in the base ball park was talked over and
il was decided to have the work com
menced at once and pushed as vigorously
az possible and accordingly a contract
for the job was let Surveyors are at
work this afternoon and the lines will be
run and work on the track commenced
tomorrow morning and completed in
about three weeks, at least in time for
the Y. NJ. c. A. field day, which will be
held on July 4, instead OF June 81, it
having been postponed on account Of so
many counter attractions.
The new track will be /, 056 feet in cir
cumferense, or one-fiith OF mile aroun d
and will be twenty feet wide. The body
Of the track will be made OF gravel and
covered on the surface with a clay sub
stance which will make it the best track
in the Upper Peninsula. About 1900
Yards OF gravel will be used and 220
yards OF the clay.
This action OF the park association
will be viewed with delight by the bicy'
Gle riders and track athletics hereabouts
who have been waiting for this for some
time.
