DUFFY N DOE AT ODDS.
Providence Owners Trying to Freeze
Each Other Out.

6OSlON, Mass, Nov. 1.-The chasm be-
tween Hugh Duffy and Fred Doe +ha
owners or the Providence Eastern League
Baseball Club, is the talk of the baseball,
world. Duffy and Doe had a tiff last sea-
son, and as a result do not Talk to each
other. In order to protect himself D,,rfyy
went TO Buffalo and bought the interest
oI a man named Donaldson, who owned a
one-ifth interest in the club.
Thus armed, Duffy thought he had one
IN on Doe. but the latter has Just executed
a coup that makes the one of DuYy's Ioor
a bit pale. Doe has secured a lease ~
the Rocky Point grounds for one wear
with the privilege of a n~ve-year renewal
They border on the water and are reach
Ell by trolley and steamer. They ara tha
one best asset Of the Providence club. and
without them baseball In Providence ia
scarcely worth mentioning In a financial
way. The grounds are twelve miles from
Providence and therefore are not under
the dominion Of the Providence club.
Now 1t is up to Duffy to show what he
can do. Doe has locked up on him NOT
only the Rocky Point grounds, but those
of Crescent Park, which is the next best
proposition. There is no other mark n
which Doe can resort and II he Is deter
mined to fight he must build a new ground
Of his own. Before this move on the mart
of Doe, Duffy had his partner at his mercy
and could make him dance as he dictated.
Doe says he wants to buy Duffy out and
Duffy says he has made a fair proposition
to the other men. Where the matter
stands at the present time no one knows.

Gus minor and major league clubs about
three years ago to play IN the Tri-State
League-then an OUTLAW" organization,
were barred yesterday from ever play
ing in any league except the Tri-State, by
a resolution passed at the final session of
the convention of the National Association
of Professional Baseball Clubs at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel.
OF interest to ball players is the final
edict against certain members of the pro-
~fession. Originally there were twenty-three
players on the list, but that of Harry Glea-
son was erased when 1t was ascertained
that he simply ignored a st. Paul reserve
and did not jump a contract. The players.

SECOND ROUND DRAW.
Soccer Teams to Continue Fight for
American Cup.

A meeting of the American Football As
ISOLATION was held at the Continental Hotel
last night. President Holden occu-
pied the chair. Reports of the referees
who ofiiciated in the first round of the cup
Ties were acted upon. After hearing a COM
munication received from James Allen,
who refereed the game between the
Thistles. of Philadelphia, and the Claren-
.dons. of Hoboken, played at Philadelphia
on October 10. in which the official stated
that H.. Y. Speller. one of the Clarendon
players, and their manager, H. Davis, had
insulted him during n after the game,
the association voted to suspend both these
men for one month.
In the second round Of the competition
It was decided to allow the first five clubs
drawn in this round byes. Clan Mcleod,
West Hudsons, Clan Mcdonald. Clark
A. A, Paterson Rangers or True Blues
received byes. This leaves six clubs to
participate in the second round, as follows:
Newark Hearts VS.. Howard & Bullough
Football Club, of Providence, r. l.; Holly
wood Inn VS.. Fall River Rovers, Thistles,
Of Philadelphia VS.. Newark F. c. The
games are to be played o m or before Mo-
vember "a on the grounds Of the first
named club in each pairing.
The Newark Football Club will go to
Thistles In an exhibition game. AS these
teams are drawn to meet at the end OF
this month in the American cup ties, the
outcome of tomorrow's game should be de-
cidedly interesting.

PRACTISE TO
BREAK INDIAN PLAY
Princeton Varsity Eleven Able to
Intercept Long Forward Passes
of Scrub Team

PRINCETON. Nov. las the day for
the big battle with the Redskins APP
proaches there is nc rest for Princeton
football team. Both regulars and scrub
jumped into their last tilt yesterday with
tooth and claw, and in spite of a smashing
offense. the veterans were scarcely able
to make the required distance.
The scrub kept the game open from the
first whistle by kicking and making use
of the Indians adoption of the forward
pass, but the veterans intercepted two
thirds of the long passes before they even
reached the ends.
The Tiger line situation is becoming
more and more unsettled every day. Wal
Ter. who was recently relegated to the
second string, was seen in his old position
again, while Seigling was laid of for a
time. The coaches say that McFayden
and Waller will probably get first call to
the guard positions in tomorrow's game,
while Buckingham and Booth will fill the
two tackles.
The men were startled yesterday after
noon when the coaches announced that
Tibbot, the Germantown star. who has
been so conspicuous lately, will be first
choice before Read, as Harlan's running
mate.
The Philadelphia boy has been covering
himself with glory in the ~scrimmages OF
the ldSI week, anu his IGWald VIII p0 :
chance to tackle the aborigines tomorrow.
The. chances are that he will not last for
more than one period, however, and either
Read or Orr will take his place.
That Princeton will rely on open game
tactics in New York tomorrow has been
demonstrated in practise all week. Most
of the time spent in secret has been de-
voted to drilling the Tiger ends Il half
backs in backing up the Indians deadly
forward pass and the equally fatal place
kick that Mount Pleasant ~manipulates.
The last ecrimmage before the game
ragged fast and furious during two 25-min-
ute halves, In which only one score was
made by the veterans. Harlan attempted
his famous drop kicks several times with
out success, and Captain Mccormack tried
his toe on a couple of long place kicks
which just grazed the posts.

REDSKINS LEAVE
FOR GAME TONIGHT
Coaches Keep Players on the
Jump for Two Hours ia
Final Practise.

CARLISLE. Pa. Nov. with only a
day standing between them and their great
estfootball game of late years, the Carlisle
Indians are manfully struggling to show
New York the most wonderful football ag-
gregation that ever clawed the turf.
The Indian coaches allowed no let-up in
the vlgor OF the practise yesterday after
noon and completely covered every depart-
ment of the game. Coach Warner gave
his r~ed-skinned braves a comprehensive
chalk talk during the morning, in which
he outlined just about what could be ex-
pected from the Tigers tomorrow. His
plans for blocking the Princetonians' tricks
were fully explained and were reserved
for exploitation on the Indian field yes
terday afternoon.
The practise lasted more than two hours,
nearly one-half of which time was given
to a serimmage between the varsity and
the second team. Bunny Larkin is making
good Roadway with the Indian ends, who
take well to his coaching. This years
squad is well grounded in the football
rules and is daily cautioned by the coach
against even the slightest infraction Of
them.
Confidence in the Indians chances over
Princeton is increasing here. The Indians
leave for New York tonight and will be
accompanied by Coaches Warner, Newman
and Larkin, Superintendent Mercer and Dr.
Shoemaker.
Today's practise viii probably be COM
paratively light. The Indians do not
seem to anticipate much trouble IN
handling Princeton, but the coaches are
constantly cautionlng them against over
confidence. Both line players and back
field men went through their PAGES, as well
as could be desired yesterday afternoon.
b tackles were made with as much
strenuous effort as if they were played In
a big game, n all of the complicated
plays were run off nicely.
The wonderful place kicker, Houser,
handled his kicks admirably and the plucky
quarterback, Mount Pleasant, mada the
forward pass with accuracy for forty-fve
yards, punted with surprising kill and
strength and ran the ends remarkably well.

SUMMERS AND KEYES
WILL CLASH TONIGHT
Quaker Fighter and Briton Light
weight Will Go Ten Rounds
at New Haven Club.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Nov. IAN inter-
fare for tonight, when Bart Keys, of Pnila-
delphia, and Johnny Summers, Of England.
meet before the Edgewood Club.
Summers Is an Englishman, and he
proved to us on a former visit that he
could fight. He met Tommy Murphy, the
pride of Harlem, for six rounds in Phila-
delphia. and during the first three rounds
Murphy was made to look like a dub, Then
The Pride recovered and fought 30 well
that at the end the bout was declared a
draw.
Summers weakened after the first three
rounds. He blamed the English training
diet of plenty Of ale and beef for his fall
ure to win. He has since adopted Ameri-
can training methods and expects to rise
to the top of the lightweight division In
this country. His first battle in his cam
paign for the championship comes tonight.
and in Reyes he will meet q pretty tough
little obstacle.
Reyes has been fighting with great sue
cess during the past year, putting away
several youngsters who were diligently
climbing the steep ladder to fame. He
made quite a reputation when he got
slightly the better Of Tommy Murphy In
. short fight in Brooklyn a few weeks ago,
1t was, generally conceded, however, that
Tommy was not at his top form that night.
Reyes has expressed the opinion that he
will whip Summers in seven rounds He
will be rather lucky, however, II he man
ages to stay the limit of ten rounds with
the hard-hitting Englishman.
The boys are to weigh in at 1888 pounds
at 3 o'clock this afternoon, SO the battle
will be a genuine lightweight affair.
Neither will have any diniculty in getting
under the weight.
