YALE AND CHICAGO
TO PLAY FOOT BALL

CHICAGO, January 29.-With the return
from the east of Coach A. A Stage Uni
Verslty of Chicago fans yesterday grew en-
thusiastic over the prospects of foot ball
game with Pennsylvania, Yale or Annapolis.
When the big nine" college conference
went out of business and there arose upon
the ruins the new big four Chicago Min
nesota, Michigan and Wisconsin, the ma
rooms reserved one date on it's program,
with the hope of tying up with one of the
eastern leaders. Pennsylvania and An
napoiis have both asked .Stagg for dates.
The subject has been preached by the Yale
authorities, though Stage has not received
definite oyertures from the Els. With
Cornell and Carlisle also in sight, the ma
room rooters expect little trouble in getting
the desired game.
According to the present schedule the
only date we could have for the eastern
game probably would be November o. said
Coach Stagg. I'VE play Minnesota on the
Saturday before that and Michigan on the
Saturday following. 1 do not see why the
added game with the east would make the
schedule too heavy.
NO date has been made as yet. The
senate has not given me permission to ar
range date. But this does not imply that
1t would be refused. for we will have to
have permission to schedule any of the
other games, too
The Maroon students believe that the
Yale game, talked Of some time ago. is not
a back number" and that the Ellis may
yet schedule game with Chicago. In case
they do not. Pennsylvania or Annapolis
need only a word from Stage. 1t is be-
lieved that either of these schools would
come half way in fixing up their dates for
a game.
A new angle to the big nine" situation
appeared. when 1t was learned that the two
indoor track meets between Michigan and
Chicago, which were thought to be well
along, are now being held up pending
Michigan's decision on the conference ques-
ton. 1t Is unlikely that the meets will ma
terialize If Michigan withdraws from the
big nine.
The same thing applies to the base ball
schedule. No dates with Michigan have
been made as yet, and the Maroon rooters
believe Chicago would have Michigan
less schedule altogether If the Wolverines
pull out.
Coach Stage took fleeting look at lis
base ball and track athletics at Bartlett
gymnasium and pronounced the outlook as
good as could be expected" He intends
to return to Indiana tomorrow to continue
his treatment. He added to his department
by engaging Fred Baird, captain of the
1906 team, as coach of the freshmen base
ball team.

ELEMENT OF LUCK
IN BASE BALL

There is more of the element of luck In
ciates." said President George B. Dovey OF
the Boston Nationals recently.
II never think of the potent factor luck
In base ball without smiling to myself how
near we came to losing Bates, our home
run hitter a young man who, in my mind,
is going to equal George Stone, with a lit
tie experience.
Fred Tenney tells me Bates was the
biggest frost he had with him on the
training trip last spring. He couldn't hit
anything, maintained Fred, and, as q
fielder was joke
There was a little fellow by the mama
of Goode with the team, and the way he
walloped the ball caused him to be dubbed
the hitting kid The fences were never
far enough out for him.
We'll, the team went to Brooklyn and
Bates was taken along. Goode, of course.
was to play the field. and Tenney expected
him to break up the game his first out
Goode got SO nervous the morning Of the
inaugural game that he couldn't play
Tenney waited until the last moment for
him. but finally had to put another player
in his place.
THE first ball pitched the youngster met
on the end Of his bat. 1t went clean over
the fence and through the window of q
hve-story apartment house across from the
park.
1.-The youngster that hit that ball was
Bates. and you bet Goode never got a
chance to get his job back
But doesn't that show You how luck
enters into the game? II Goode had not
been seized with stage fright Bates would
never have got chance to show what he
end probably would never been heard of
again"

CONFERRING IN CLEVELAND
BIG CUT DOWN YESTERDAY

CLEVELAND, January 29.-The sched-
ME meeting of President Johnson of the
American League and Harry Pulliam of the
National League Is proving much more diff
ficult than was anticipated. and the two
big league leaders are OF the opinion that
q twO-day session will be necessary in or
der to cut down the conflicts to a minimum
figure.
Johnson and Pullium. with Robert Mercy,
Johnson's secretary, started in at their task
at 10 am. yesterday and worked straight
through until p.m.,. not even stopping for
lunch After dinner at the home of Frank
De Haas Robson. the former Cleveland and
ST. Louis magnate, they resumed their con-
ference at pm. and worked again until
midnight.
When they started in the morning they
found the schedules as drawn up by john
son and Pulliam had no less than sixty con-
hicting dates. One by one these were cut
out until at midnight it was reported that
there were still thirty conflicts. 1t was
anticipated that in view of the fact that
the two leagues will open the season upon
the same date. Ii would be compa ratively
easy task to arrange the schedules without
ciashing to any great extent as last year,
when they opened on different dates, there
were but twenty-four conflicts, nine of
which occurred in Chicago. The presidents
feel that II they can cut down the clashing
dates to twenty their labors will have
been successful. What makes it so diff
cult is the fact that the National League
has three Sunday towns. while the Ameri-
can has but two.
Neither president would v0lchsafe much
Information as to holiday dates. ETC., mas
much as the schedules have yet to be
adopted by their respective leagues. but
Johnson did offer the news that the Cieve-
land and Chicago openings would probably
be Friday, April 10, a little over a week
after the opening of the campaign, st.
Louis opening the Cleveland season. while
Detroit will set the ball going at Chicago.
The National League gets the Lexington
date at Boston. while the American League
gets Bunker Hill at the same city

TURF AND TRACK NOTES.

James r. Keene's brood mare Snowy
Corrie, fourteen years old, by Tristan (son
of Hermit), out of Corrie Boy, by Galopin,
died at the Castleton stock farm on Janu-
airy "a. Mr.. Keene paid $14,100 for this
mare at the sale Of the late W. C.. Whit
ney's stations and mares two years ago.
At that time she was in foal to Hamburg,
but slipped. She has had no living produce
since she became Mr.. Keene's property.
In the stable Of high bred horses trained
this season by P. Gllpin in England are two
Derby candidates, Baltinglass and Weather
cock. which are the produce Of two Ameri-
can mares that raced successfully in that
country for the late Pierre Lorillard. Bal
tinglass is by Isinglass, out OF Sibola, win
ner Of the One Thousand and second in the
Oaks. which Mr.. Lorillard always said she
should have won easily, as she was prac-
tically left at the post. Weathercock is by
0allinule, out Of Chinook Mr.. Giipin won
the Derby Of 1906 with Spearmint.
The name Of Kercheval. winner Of the
Burns handicap on Saturday, appears in
two places in the original entries published
for the Brighton handicap. In one instance
in the other as the property Of W. v. Con.
ran. II was In the latter's name that he
ran on Saturday. His victory In the Burns
handicap did not please the form players,
Angeles on January 15 he did not display
anything like the form which he did in the
Burns. The peculiar feature of entry in
the Brighton may result in his disqualiaca-
ton.

from rheumatism for several weeks, called

LOWE FOUGHT A
DRAW WITH RYAN

WILKESBARRE. Pa, January 29-Billy
Ryan Of Syracuse and Tommy Lowe of
Washington fought six rounds before the
Peerless Athletic Club last night. Both men
were in good condition and at the end Of
tho sixth round were as fresh as at the
start.
Ryan put a lot of ginger into his work.
while Lowe gave a good exhibition Of de-
fensive action. There was more or less
clinching. Lowe being loath to do any open
fighting.
The Washington man did some clever
work, however. and at the end Of the sixth
round II was q difficult matter to say who
was the best man.
There was no decision. After the fight
Jimmy Boner Of Summit Hill issued chal-
lenge to either Ryan or Lowe to meet him
in q six-round bout. It II likely that Lowe
will accept the challenge.
