Tigers New Coaching System.
xo...t.i O., Tha FA,aniny Worldl

- ~
PRINCETON, Sept. 25.-Every day 1t
is more clearly shown that the system
OF coaching to be used this season for
the football team Is different from any
thing attempted for several years back.
More leeway is given to the captain In
the first place and less is given to the
coaches on the field.
Instead of the usual head coach, In
whom was intrusted the full develop
ment and style OF play, there has been
inaugurated by general consent a sys-
tom by which the coaches on he field
will have charge OF the picking of men
and instructions in the several positions,
hut they will not be ourdened with the
responsibility of strategic points.
John B.. Fine, a ~well-known teacher of
mathematics and a football authority,
will have general oversight of the teams
work and he must be consulted on all
points of form play n new formations.
At present the coaches are endeayoring
to make the candidates feel more in
%divlduality and there will be a vigorous
attempt made moi to ovcrcoach.
With the training table started and
signal practice on 1t will be but a matter
OF a few days before the scrimmages
begin,
short, Barney and Waller have been
picked out for the centre trio. They are
somewhat slow, but they form the heav-
lest combination possible under the cir
cumstances Da Witt. Reed. Rafferty,
and Carothers will fight 1t out for tackle.

Coach Morley Has Advanced His Men to
Good Playing Form by Hard Work.

Passing and falling on the ball and
tackling are Columbia's football candi-
dates chief studies these days. Coach
Morley believes tackling one of the
greatest points in preparing a for
n gridiron battle. and every day on
South Field his men are put through a
regular course of that style OF game.
Capt. Weekes Is quite proficient in the
art and any man he gets a hold on
usually goes down with a good thump.
Aside from that WeeKes is a good
kicker.
Rain does not interfere with the CO.
lumbias' practice.
The candidates take turns in running
the ball back and trying to evade the
two players sent down to tackle them

TWO RACE TRACKS
SOON TO Be SOLD.
Morris Park and Gravesend
Courses Will Be Wiped Out
New Tracks Will Be Built
on Long Island.

As The Evening World has said from
time 10 time. the Norris Park and
Gravesend race course. are soon to be
doomed.
ARRANGEMENTS for the sale of the two
beautiful, courses have practically been
completed, and within the next year or
two the disposition OF them will be
made. For some time an effort has been
made to cut up both tracks, but tho
Jockey Club STAYED off the sale, owing
to the failure to secure other property
for lacks which would be convenient
to the followers of the sport.
But now comes the notice of the pur-
chase Of a large tract OF land. number
ing in all two hundred and thlrty-fve
acres, lying between Queens and Floral
Park, L. l. The sale was made yester-
day, and 1t was announced that the
estate would be transformed into a new
track. The land was sold at an average
rate of $50 per acre, and was pur-
chased by Jarvis Smith, of the firm of
Gnlon, Weller & Smith, of Jamaica,
L. l. Just who the purchaser was could
not be learned. but 1t is said hat 1t was
acquired by the Brooklyn Jockey Club
with a Wow OF teins ready to locate
wherever It became necessary to vacate
its present hcidire.
Sales Accomplished Facts.
The sale of Morris Park, the most
magnificent racing enterprise in Amer
lea, is now an accomplished fact. while
II is. true that Its new owners. the New
York ard Portchester Railroad Com
pany. OF which August Belmont Is the
ruling spirit, can put off for a time the
final 6ignngitinn nf II a q n raNa NnfrTqa
the march OF progress Will very soon
demand that the theatre of some of the
greatest racing ever seen in this country
will, ere long. be forced out of exist
ence.
In the same situation is the Brooklyn
Jockey Clubs course at Gravesend.
Streets may at any time be run through
that property, which is already hemmed
in by residences on all sides.
May Buy Jamaica Track.
1t has been ascertained that the own
ers OF the new Jamaica race course
have been approached with a view OF
purchasing that property for the. future
needs of one of the racing associations
The course and its appointments are
considered good enough for the most
~exigent, and perhaps the property may
yet change hands, but the price must be
a good one, say its present owners.
= How soon the two associations must
yacate their present homes is a question
which arises. 1t is a safe conclusion
hat neither will be forced out prema-
turelv. but the recent purchase of land
at Queens would indicate that the own
ers of that property may have good
reasons for preparing for an early evic-
ton.
There will be much regret at the
elimination OF Morris Park from the
m~etropolitan circuit The gentlemen now
repsonsible for racing at that course
will no doubt erect one or Long Island
that will embody their ~well-known ideas
of what a high-class race course g
to be.

Backing and Good Grounds in View.

The announcement that James e.

moter. had been selected as the man 10
lead the American League forces in
New York. and that within a few days
he would publicly announce the location
OF the new American League grounds in
this city, together with other plans OF
the Johnson organization, gave the Ma
tiona League magnates additional o
for reflection when they went into ses-
sion this morning at the League head
quarters in the st. James building.
In getting Kennedy interested in the
enterprise. the American Leaguers could
not have made a better move in New
York. He knows the game from start
to finish, und as a manager, his peer is
not in the city. He has successfully
promoted a number of lighting clubs,
and is known from coast to coast. Aside
from this, Kennedy was for years active
ly engaged in baseball work. His busi-
asss partner is z. t. Powers, the presl-
n OF the Eastern League, and also of
the National Association of Professional
Baseball Leagues.
Mr.. Kennedy was seen at his office
this morning and said:
Il I'M sorry that this thing has be-
come public Just at this time. within
two or three days 1t was my intention
to publicly announce my connection
