YALE NINE COMING SOUTH.
Georgetown, the Nationals, and
Navy Teams VIII Be Played.

New Haven, Conn. Nov. 14.-It was an
nounced tonight that after considerable
discussion the Yale baseball club will be
permitted to take a Southern trip next
spring. It was previously announced that
the Easter trip. which has been a feature
0f spring baseball training, has been
given up because It was found Of little
or no benefit in the development Of the
men, and that the long travel tired them
out An attempt was made TO find a
substitute for the trip, but nothing salts
factory could be thought Of. The plan Of
making a short trip was suggested. This
found favor in the eyes Of the advisory
committee and permission was given to
arrange a schedule Of games.
The nine viii make its headquarters
at Washington, which is within easy
travelling distance of New Haven. 1t viii
play two games with Georgetown, one
with the Washington American League
team, and one with the United States
Naval Academy at Annapolis. These
games, ii is expected. viii more than
pay the expenses of the trip and will at
the same time give the men practice they
could not get in the North.

LIGHT WORK FOR TIGERS.
Presence OF Eddie Dillon Inspires
the Princeton Team.

Princeton, y. J., Nov. H-There is moth
ing TO do but wait. so far as learning ad-
diuonal news about the absolute work the
Tigers are doing. The coaches will say
little except 10 give a general idea of
what the afternoons practice consisted
Of. To-day the practice was run of on
freshman field. In a large degree il was
ali preliminary work. such as falling on
the ball, tacking. and trying 10 kill the
defenseless dummy; but the Tigers can
use everything in this line they can pick
up from now on. Head Coach Roper is
very particular about the nice points OF
the game. The Tigers have been taught
to follow the ball closely. especially when
II is loose. and thus far they have sue
ceded pretty well
After the minor stunts a signal drill Of
the rapid-fire order was gone through
Eddie" Dillon, who was injured last
week, was out to-day, and jumped into
the game almost as if nothing had hap
pened. The snappy quarter back kept his
men on the jump all the time The big
Tigers swept over the chalk marks evenly
and unbrOken. Mccormick. Rulon-AIHler
ana Harlan formed the back field. They
started OF together. shooting through the
proper spaces and forming good interfer-
enCe. Harlan practiced more drop-kicll-
ing this afternoon. There is chance Of
RUlOn-NIiller doing the punting in Satur-
days game. Tomorrow the Tigers viii
hold their last hard signal drill. because
Friday practically no work Will be handed
out By the score Of coaches.

stated after the practice, We've had the

this season. Dawson, the new man on
the line. is showing up well, although
out but ten days. IL he had not been in
different and had come out for the team
early he would have beeis a star by this
time. Michigan has never been so hard
uD for substitutes before. Generally there
have been good men for every position.
This year several positions go begging.
When our regulars are hurt we are
vitally crippled, for the plays are so
highly complicated and so numerous that
substitutes cannot learn them quickly
and break up their own plays. We hardly
hope 10 win Pennsylvania game now
but we intend 10 fight hard. II luck is at
all favorable, we may surprise the Quak-
ers."

looking for the silver lining and hope Il

up was stronger by 20 per cent than any
aggregation that the university has ever
turned out in previous years.
With two teams who are using very
much the same style Of football, and are
OF nearly the same weight, matched
against each ether, the contest should be
an ideal exhibition Of the game as played
under the new rules. and on the strategy
of the quarter backs the issues will de-

Weights for the Columbia Handicap.

the first day of the Benning meeting, were
announced yesterday. Twenty-four horses
have been named TO start. but probably
less than half that number will answer
the call. oxford. James Mclaughlin S
good horse. has drawn the top weight,
~ pounds, and, although this thorough
bred is in good form, II is doubtful
whether he will have a chance among the
several lghtweights. Lord Of the Vale,
the property Of August Belmont. is asked
to handle 10 pounds. but he may not be
started. Still, Mr.. Belmont would like to
get a good race out Of the winner OF the
Grand Consolation two years ago, and,
although he has not been asked to race
much this season, The Lord may be ripe
for this engagement.
Charles Pfizer's Melbourne Is in rather
light. and as this clever horse has done
well at Pimlieo, his Baltimore form is
bound to receive respectful attention at
Benning. Melbourne. with Suffrage, Zie-
nap. Yves, Pater. and Graziallo, will at

MANAGER NOT SELECTED.
Taylor Denies That Man Iias Been
Named to Lead BOstOns.

Boston, Nov. 1-Gen. Charles H.
Taylor. of the Boston Americans. has
arrived home from New York. He said
there was TO truth in the stories sent out
from New York to the effect that Presi-
dent Ban Johnson and President John
I. Taylor had decided on the man who
would manage the Boston club next sea
son.
Gen. Taylor said that Mr. Johnson
IN no way tried to influence the Boston
club In the selection Of manager, and
while Mr.. Taylor refused to commit him
self, it's a one-to-ten shot that a man 10
handle the team has been selected long
ago.
John L Taylor will take more interest
IT. the club than ever. and viii act much
rs Charley Comiskey does for the Chicago
club. Mr.. Taylor has good knowledge
Of the game. is an amateur player, and
has had three years experience as a
backer It is doubtful if Collins or Di-
neen will be with the team next season.

New Haven. Conn, Nov. 1.-THE Yale
varsity was given its last real work be-
fore the Princeton game this afternoon,
and the fine showing made gave color to
the hope expressed by the coaches that
the eleven was ready and fit for the fray.
The feeling here, except that expressed by
coaches. has grown daily that there was
good grounds 10 expect a Yale victory By
a small margin
While not definitely decided upon,
Roome will possibly start the game Satur-
day, and If he is in the shape his playing
this week would Indicate. the moral effect
of this terrific line bucker and great back
field defensive player would aid the Yale
team TO a degree hardly to be estimated.
Another reason for hope for Yale is i'm
the better work all around Of Tad Jones.
He started the season touted as the best
quarter back Of the year but he slumped.
Il is said that the reason for this has been
il part the overcoaching by the graduate
coaches. This restraint removed. and he
has shown something Of the great work
expected. To-day the team worked In
scrimmage for twenty minutes, and as
usual this work scored three times on the
scrubs, getting two touchdowns and a
field goal from Veeders toe. Plenty Of
snap was in the play, and the taching and
catching OF punts were good.
There was more than coach for every
place in the lineup. and the work was
gingery enough TO beat any team. But
the feeling is that. as has been the case
before. the promising work shown in prac-
uce will not naterialize in the big game
The probable lineup Saturday is as fol-
lows. Forbes, left end; Paige, left tackle
Brides. left guard; Hockenberger. center;
Erwin, right guard; Riglow. right tackle
Alcott, right end; Tad Jones, quarter
back; Knox. left half back. Morse. right
half back; ROome, fun back.

Okenite VIII Not start Here

Okenite will not bear the colors Of
August Belmont in the Grand Consola-

ment was made by John Whalen, the
developer and trainer Of the Hastings
geld!ng. who made his debut at Ben

well for a third-rater on the big tracks.

Mr. Belmont
The chairman Of the Jockey Club won
the first Grand Consolation with Lord Of

Benning. a fortnight back. will land the

The BladensbUrg is a race Of two miles
