Tigers. passed through Buffalo yesterday.
en- route from Detroit for a visit to his
home in Scranton. Talking with friends
about the disastrous series with the Chi
cage Cubs for the worlds championship
Coughlin declared that the Detroiters
were practically worn out in their hard
fight for the American League pennant
and were not themselves in the final
games with Chicago
We all lost many pounds through work
and worry ia the concluding trip around
the American League circuit" said
COughlin, "and then the boys Yere dis
eouragcd when they did not get that first
game. which we should have won. but
which Chicago tied up. That was really
our one chance in the series and we
lost il"
Coughlin says that the Tigers made up
pool OF $3e00. which they bet on the
first game won by Chicago, and doubtless
this loss further disheartened them

MICHIGAN FOR ATHLETICS.
Wolverine Regents Have Ended IA
Ten-year Fight Against Sport.


Ann Arbor. Oct 22.-The struggle
that begun fully ten years ago between
the University Of Michigan board of
regents and the faculty reached an
acute stage on Saturday when the re-
gents abolished the present athletic
board of control and constituted new
one The new arrangement gives the
athletic party control of Michigan and
will now in all probability be fully as
lively in athletics as the Eastern
schools. The breach with the Western

ably the training table revived and
long schedule of games. with possibly a
preliminary season OF training before
school opens. The new policy also
means that Michigan will turn out
more completely for the track meets
and football and baseball.
The professors planned to bring
Michigan back into the Western con-
ference in December. even if it caused
wholesale exDulSiOns of students As a
sop to the regents it was proposed to
make Trainer Keene Fitzpatrick an

DAVIS CUP MATCHES HERE.
Tennis Matches Likely
10 lie Held in This Country.

New York, Oct. Rankings of lawn
tennis players. both men and women, Oc-
cupied the attention Of the executive
committee at the meeting in this city a
few days ago. Members Of the ranking
committee, including A. L. Hoskins. Of
Philadelphia. the chairman; Thomas c..
Trask Of the West Side Club, New York,
and Edgar w Leonard. Boston. were
present. While the session was held be-
hind closed doors. it is Said that the sub
ject of international matches for 1905 also
took up considerable time in being dis
cussed. While nothing definite was ar
rived at in this respect. the prospect is
good for important matches here next
season, and these will include competi-
tions for the Dwight F. Davis interna-
tional challenge cup.
The matter of the cup matches appears
TO have been brought about by the in
tenti0n of the famous Doherty brothers
TO visit the courts OF this country next
season. They have decided through the
English Lawn Tennis Association 10 chal-
lenge the AustTalasians for the cup. With
the English challengers in this country
the Britons are desirOus that the Amer
leans also challenge for the cup. SO that
the preliminary tie matches between the
nations may be played IN this country. a
member Of the executive committee
pointed out that such meve was pro-
vided for IN the rules controlling cup
matches. As Germany is contemplating
the team Of German lawn
tennis players would therefore compete
in this country also
Thomas c. Trask, OF the ranking COM
mittee. said that the in and out form Of
the players this season had made the
task Of rating the players "a most difficult
one Every effort was being made to-ac-
the work in the most systematic
manner. The players throughout the
country had been requested 10 send in 10
the committee a brief record Of their sea-
sons play. Strangely enough. the less
important players had been quick TO re-
spond, while the men who might easily
expect to make the first five or ten the
real roll of honor, had neglected TO do
their part in this respect

YALE PLANS REFORM
Faculty May Abolish Foot
ball Training Table.
LOOKED UPON AS UNNECESSARY
Certain Professors Claim that Con-
ditiOn of Eli Players Would BE I'm
ing the Practice Season on Grid
irOn-Secret Practice Discussed.

New Haven, oct. pa live discussion
of the abolition Of training-tables for
athletes has sprung up at Yale, because
of the action Of the Trinity College foot
ball authorities in deciding that their
eleven was better of with the ordinary
diet available for their players, without
resorting to the menu of a training-table.
Quite d formidable faction of the Yale
faculty wish training-tables abolished,
and when the extensive reform move
ment was under way at the university
more than a year ago they urged on
the entire faculty the desirabiity of
prohibiting the formation of tables in
future athletic seasons. The compromise
adopted, however did away with the
glaTing training table abuses without
taking any stand on the question whether
the elimination of the table is really de
Asirable
Prof Theodore S. Woolsey. who would
put sport on much more informal basis
than at present, is one OF the members
Of the athletic committee who believes
that the athletes would be as well fitted
for their contests by proper food at :heir
homes or at college boarding clubs. as
well as by the menu Of the routine train
ing-tab,e
FRvOrs Vegetable Diet.
Prof Russell II. Chittenden. director Of
the Sheffield Scientific School, not only
regards the training-table of the present
time as practically a hindrance. but
would put the athletes on much the same
diet as has Stagg, the University of Chi
cago coach. who has given his men
vegetable menu
Prof. Chttenden has for years advO-
Gated a vegetable diet for athletes, and,
10 support his theories, had here for
year a squad of United States soldiers,
who were given at times a vegetable
diet and throughout the year much
simplifed menu.
The Yale athletic trainers have been
quick TO make d change in the train
ing table. and the menu offered at pres
ent is far less rigorous than formerly.
While pies and cake are taboOed. there
is lidle difference between the training
table and the fare Of the high-Class col
lege boarding house. and another year
there Will be even less difference
The question Of secret practice is be-
fore the university i'm an acute form. on
many sides is heard the rumor at Yale
tIat the game AT West Point was not
won because the eleven had not had the
advantage Of secret practice 10 develop
its formidable plays The official uni
versity organ came out last week against
secret practice. and the coaches did not.
as usual, order any before the West
Point game.
If the policy Of the faculty turns out
to be as outIinedg in the official organ
last week the coaches will decline 10
