Sporting Notes

Friends School has an unusually
strong eleven and Worcester High VIII
have to hump this afternoon to keep
the Providence boys in check.
The meeting of Worcester Academy
and Harvard Freshmen at the Acad-
envy Oval this afternoon will furnish
furious battle. The Crimson young
sters are full Of fire this season.
Two teams out of the big four have
Worcester County boys as leaders
Dave Campbell is Harvard's captain
and Davidson, a Leicester boy, Is cap
tain of University of Pennsylvanias
eleven.
"A st. Louis paper says that If
Manager McAleer, last season with the
Cleveland American League club is in
charge of the new club in st. Louis, he
will have Homer Smoot as one of the
outfielders.
Homer Smoot should not forget that
the fine for jumping minor Lacquer
of Eastern League stamp, who tries to
return to minor company is $1,000.
Homer may waste the amount If he
gets too ambitious.
In a game in Delaware the other
day, one of the players was arrested by
policeman on duty at the game. The
charge against the player was assault
and it grew out of the desire OF the
latter to slug his opponent.
The Cornell Princeton game is one
of the biggest of today''s football at
fractions. Neither team has been scored
against this season. Cornell has won
for the past two years, but Princeton
is confident of being able to show up
the Comedians today.
Brown has hopes of rallying this
afternoon when the eleven meets Har-
ward. Brown always has had the
knack of doing wonders in games
against Harvard, but this season the
Providence team is so fearfully weak
that the hopes seem to be unfounded.
The absence of Cadet John E.
Munroe son of John P. Munroe of Wor-
cester, will weaken the West Point
team today Munroe is the regular
centre. While riding vicious horse
Wednesday, Munroe was hurled to the
ground, fracturing his left shoulder
The Holy Cross Boston College
game at Boston Thanksgiving Day will
take place on the grounds of the Bos-
ton American League grounds. There
have been conflicting rumors regard
ing the grounds, but 1t is definitely de-
cded that the battle will be held on
the American League Baseball grounds.
Probably the most sensational run
of the present football season was that
of Hopkins, right tackle of the Haver-
ford eleven in the game against Column
bia Wednesday. Hopkins got the ball
on a tumble by a Columbia man five
yards behind the Haverford goal line.
Shaking his interference, Hopkins went
lis yards to touchdown.
Connie Mack of the Philadelphia
Americans, is said to be anxious to get
Rube Waddell, the great left hand
pitcher. Waddell was let out to Chica-
go by Pittsburg because he was I'M
manageable, and Chicago found him
too stubborn to deal with, But Reuben
looks easy for the diplomatic efforts
of Cornelius McGillicuddy.
Manager Buckenberger of Boston is
having his troubles thus early in his
career as the successor of Manager Sc
lee. Billy Dineen, the pitching celebri-
ty balks at signing for 1902 and al
though he was blacklisted by theAmer-
lean League, Dineen is said to have
been forgiven and is dickering with
American League managers.
The Mclean brothers, owners of
the Revere cycle track, are negotiating
| for the lease of the old Park Station
property in Boston with the intention
of building an indoor track Last year
poorly constructed track paid well,
and it is believed that indoor racing
could be made permanently profitable
in Boston provided fast track is con-
structed
