Yale Has Signal Practise.
Harvard Gets Busy at
Cambridge.

NEW HAVEN, Sept. ~19.-Sammy Morse,
captain of the Yale eleven last year, glad
dened the football coaches yesterday by
appearing in uniform and assisting in the
afternoon drill. He was married in July,
and Mrs. Morse accompanied him to the
field, enjoying the practise from the side
lines. AL Sharpe and Head Coach KnoX
were the other coaches present, Because
of the cool wave the players donned their
moleskins for the first time. They are not
likely to wear their running toys again
this fall.
Yesterday witnessed the first signal line
up for the season, the eleven taking the
gridiron as follows: Left end. Howard
Jones; left tackle, Foster; left guard.
Parks; centre, Dunbar; right guard, Goe-
bel; right tackle, Biglow; right end, Alcott;
quarterback. Dimes; halfback, Bomar and
Berger; fullback, Coy.
After ten minutes running through sim
pie formations the backs We're tried as fol-
lows: Quarterback, Bingham; halfbacks,
Murphy and Wheaton; fullback, Philbin.
Alcott was the only arrival of a veteran
player. Brides has arrived in town, but
did not report yesterday. Bobby Burch Ia
still i'll at a sanitarium, but will report by
Saturday, it Is expected. Word was re-
ceived that Jack Owsley, head coach two
years ago., will arrive today and will spend
much Of the time with the eleven. rom
Shevlin, captain of the eleven two years
ago has arrived in Hartford and is expect
ed here the first of next week to spend
a fortnight with the squad.
Carroll Cooney, the freshman centre of
last year, has arrived. but is heavily con-
ditioned in his studies and may not regain
his eligibility this fall. As Andrus, the
giant who was counted upon for right
guard, is out of the game with scholar
ship conditions, Cooney's disqualification
would be a severe blow to the team.

medal at the Bradley Beach alleys on La
Dor Day for the highest average, his aver-
age being 212.

also in school this year, and as he has been
bowling a little this summer, he will I'M
doubtedly be IT. good form when the season
opens. Captain Edsall makes the fourth
man Jack of last years team.

one vacant position on the team this year.
Some of the new men look very promising,
and may give last years men a tussle.

Durrel futile, Erie Frahzen, Robin De
Croft, Ward Disbrow, Raymond Camp

TO PLAY BALL IN CUBA.
George Davis will Head Team of Well
Known Players.

Cuba will revel in high baseball at
fractions this winter. George Davis is
signing volunteers to invade the island
and hurl spit" balls at the defenseless
natives. None of the really great play
ers has favored Cuba in the last three
years. and George thinks the time ripe
for springing a sensation. The team so
far comprises Davis, HUI" Hart, Smith,
Nick Altrock, Hickman, Hahn Inc We'll
lay, of the champion Sox. Willie
Kee1er, Frank Laporte and Jack
Kleinow, of the Yankees, may join the
expedition, and Davis has a few more
noted athletes in mind.
The team will leave New York on
October 20 for a three weeks s%ojourn
at Havana, playing three games per
week. Davis has been in Cuba twice
and knows the layout. With a crack
team he feels confident of doing a good
business.

Burnham's Colts have by no means
thrown up the sponge in the fight for
third plaee. Providence is only a game
and a half ahead Of Newark. and it is
surely within the pounds of possibilities
that this gap may be bridged. The locals
have still five game to play with Mon
treal and three with Toronto. Providence
in the meantime will lock horns vita
Rochester and Buffalo. The result of
these games will settle the issue.
It is not at all certain that Newark will
make Il clean sweep of the series with
the Royals because the latter are In last
place. Manager Morgan's men are con-
sidered a more dangerous foe than Roches-
ter. nd a stiff series Is looked for. Should
rain prevent either or both games today
a double-header will be slated for to-
morrow as well as for Saturday.
The outcome Of the 1907 championship
race has been Disappointing to several
cities. chiefly because the clubs that went
bad were those which had been expected
to cut a big figure. Newark and Provi-
Sienced lived up to- expectations, though
both had aimed for higher berths. Buffalo
is glum over being beaten out by Toronto,
the city which last. year sheltered an all
season tailender. while Baltimore and
Rochester have been big disappointments.
The Newark team will be disbanded m

Charley White. acting president of the

presidents of the leagues. Last year when
Buffalo and Columbus clashed the players

The question as to whether fish suffer
much pain when hooked often comes mp
among fishing parties. 1t came up when
the following Incident occurred: One OF
the men caught a blue1sh, and while reel
ing It in the fish darted forward and
seized the bait of the other fisherman.
The first man thought that he had lost
the fish, and stopped to watch the other
that the fish had taken both bats. Had
It been in pain it certainly would have
fought TO get away instead Of looking for
more to eat.
