RADICAL COACHING change
"TAD" JONES AT WORK
Faculty Will Endeavor to
Abolish Southern Trip
of Yale Nine.

A radical change in the coaching sys-
tenn Of the Yale baseball team is al
ready being considered for next years
baseball nine. Tad Jones, with the
assistance of the Yale alumni, is now
at work preparing to make new plans
and to abolish old rules and methods
concerning the coaching of the Eli
team.
One Of the principal changes which
will no doubt be made Is the abolish
ment of the southern trip. The faculty
is decidedly opposed to this for many
reasons. Nearly every year some one
is hurt on this trip. .on the trip dur
ing the past baseball season Coach
Lush had his eye injured, This acct
dent was probably the indirect cause
of Yale's defeat by both Harvard and
Princeton. Lush had to remain in
Washington for treatment for several
weeks. During this lapse of time Yale
was without a coach, and the players
were only kept in form by the ener-
getic work of Captain Kinney. After
Lush's return he was unable to be of
the old-time assistance. His eye trou-
bled him considerably and he was
drawn away from the team when he
was most needed. These few weeks of
practice without professional coaching
put back the Eli team from one of the
fastest In the country to a level with
the other college mines. BY hard fight
ing thew pulled themselves up into a
position of apparent equilibrium with
Harvard and Princeton. But the steady
practice of these two latter mines was
too much for Yale and she went down
to defeat.
The direct cause of Yale's defeat was
the weakness of her pitchers. Meyer
pitched pretty steady ball while on the
southern trip, but on his return he

TRIED TO GAIN
FALSE TESTIMONY

Boise, Idaho, July 9.-The defense in

manufacture testimony against VIM.
%. Haywood, but was unsuccessful in
getting the basis and Details Of the
charge before the court and jury
Alva A. Swain, Denver correspon-
pondent Of the Pueblo Chieftain, was
called to. the stand and questioned as
to a conversation he had with Detec-
tive MCFARLAND in Denver last fall.
Senator Borah for the state objected
to the conversation on the ground that
no foundation had been laid for it.
Clarence Darrow, for the defense,
who was examining Swain, explained
that the testimony was offered for the
purpose OF showing that there existed
a conspiracy between the mine own
ers and the Pinkertons to secure a
conviction and execution of the prison.
er. ," MCFARLAND approached this wit
ness in an attempt to manufacture tes-
timony," he declared, "and I believe
we have a right to show it,
Judge Wood said there was nothing
in the evidence that furnished a prop
err foundation for the introduction Of
such testimony and sustained the
states objection. The defense took
an exception and said they would later
make another attempt to secure the ad-
mission Of SWANS testimony. Counsel
for the defense are evidently counting
on reaching the matter through Nc
Portland himself but itn is quite prob
able that the state will not call Nc
Partland as witness.
1t is claimed by the defense that Nc
Partland told Swain that he had a
letter from Harry Orchard saying that
when Haywood paid him for the Vim
dicator job he took him to one of the
Denver banks to draw the money and
that when they came out of the bank
Swain was standing at the door and
saw them. 1t is said that Swain told
Mcfarland that he could not remem-
Der the incident whereupon McPart-
land impressed him with the import
anee of 1t as evidence and Significant
" urged him to recall it and become
q witness in the case.
Detective Mcfarland denies that
he ever suggested anything improper
to Swain, he says he got the letter as
described by Orchard who wrote that
Swain was at the door of the bank
on the day in question; there being a
run on the bank, and that he believed
Swain might remember seeing him. He
says that when he went to see Swain
the latter said that he would not tell
whether he remembered the incident
or not and asked for another interview.
Mcfarland declares that he there
dropped, the matter and did not again
see Swain.

Third Matinee RACES
OF N. H. DRIvIUG CLUB
Excellent Programme Ere
pared for This Coming
Friday.

What should prove to be the most
successful matinee meet since the old
New England circuit days, will be held
at the Elm City track on Friday aft
ternoon of this week. The committee
in charge has worked hard and If the
day is pleasant and the track fast some
very fast driving will be seen.
To add to the interest and provide
amusement for the pleasure seekers, a
novelty event has been added to the
regular race program. Mr.. Forsyth
has loaned the Driving club several of
his burros and the members are going
to see which one has the greatest per-
suasive power on these animals noted
for their obstinacy and stubbornness.
The last time such contest was held
here it took about an hour to finish
the half-mile circuit and that race so
ludicrous that the bleachers were con-
vulsed with laughter.
The committee is also going to try
new stunt" Its going to be seien-
tilc guessing contest. The entrants
will be sent off together and they can
do anything they want to, on the way
around; and here's where the guessing
comes in. The driver who sends his
horse under the wire closest to the
three minute mark carries off the blue
ribbon. AS a good many horses can
go the half in 2:SO and under, there Is
going to be some pretty nice calculat-

three places respectively.

one being that the players lose several
