CRIMSON MAKES
A POOR Showing

Cambridge. Mass, Oct. 30.-IIarvard 8
football practice yesterday afternoon was
held under a cold rain that sapped the
life from all the men. Making all due al
lowances for this fact, however. the work
Of the Varsity was decidedly poor. After
short session OF elementary practice the
varsity played a 25-minute scrimmage
with the second team, and at the close
OF the practice the score stood TO 5.
The Varsity attack was disjointed, the
line men failed to help their backs prop
erly and the line was woefully weak on
the defensive. The strong second team
backs came through FOR many yards.
Capt Parker was out for the first time
since the Annapolis game and played In
part OF the scrimmage. Newh Ill also did
a little running, but did not get into the
scrimmage. Starr was shifted to halfback
yesterday afternoon and PLAYED In that
position for a short while He showed
he has the making OF a good halfback in
him. and as soon as Newhall Is back in
the game again Starr may be tried at
halfback I'm some of the games.
Lieut. Graves was again on the field In
football togs and devoted most OF his time
TO Fish, the big Harvard right tackle.
Fish showed considerable Improvement
under Graves coaching. Butt, who has
been worked steadily in the back field up
till now, was shifted to the line yesterday
afternoon and took Fish's place at right
tackle for a little while in the scrim-
mage.

WOULD GIVE
AWAY THEIR
FIRST BORN

Indianapolis. Oct. 9o.-Neatly dressed
and intelligent beyond the average. a
workingman called upon Judge Stubs, a
astounded him by saying that after con-
sidering the matter with his wife for some
time. they had made UP their minds that
they would like To surrender their baby
to an orphan asylum because they could
not give It the proper care. The Judge
asked his caller many questions, but the
answer to all of them was that 'it seemed
that home could do more for the baby
than they could" So the Judge told the
young man the case would be investiga-
ted 1t was.
An officer OF the Juvenile court was sent
out to see in what circumstances the fam
lily were The officer was young wom-
an. She went to the home and was met
at the door by the wife and mother-a
plump, rosy-cheeked young woman, whose
face was tied up in a cloth. The wife and
mother apologized, saying she was suf-
fering from neuralgia.
The house was well furnished, the baby
was there on the floor playing-a good
looking child and perfect dear"-so the
officer said. There were no signs of ina
bility to take care OF the child. In fact.
things looked 50 different from what Miss
Officer had expected that she thought she
had the wrong place. She asked, cautious
ly, about the baby-did they want TO give
It to a home? Yes, they did!
They had no debts, the mother said, and
the husband was making fairly good
wages. They had recently moved here
from Kentucky. The mother was not yet
10 years old. the father not quite 20. The
father worked at night and slept in the
daytime. The mother tried TO sleep at
night. Recently the crying OF the baby
had kept her awake all highland, any
way. she was suffering from neuralgia.
1T seemed that home could do more for
the baby than they could"
There was no question OF food for the
child--or for the parents. There were all
the comforts OF home-some OF the luxur-
les. But the father could not take care OF
the child at night--he wasn't there. And
the mother-well she had neuralgia. 1T
seemed that a home could do more for
the baby than they could II seemed
that way frequently.
II was the young peoples first child,
Miss Officer ascertained, and the trouble
OF taking care of 1t with the father at
work all night and sleeping all day was
more than the mother desired. She
thought home could take care OF the
child easier than she coud-so she and
the father desired the baby to be put in
an orphans home. Miss Officer and the
court. however, decided the people were
we'll able to care for their baby, and, for
the present at least 1t will not be sent
to an orphans home.

New York, Oct. 30.-Delegates from the
80 leagues affiliated with the National AS
sociation of Professional Baseball were in
attendance and in addition there were
large number of owners and managers OF
clubs from both the major organizations
and from different clubs in the various
classified circuits.
Shortly after the meeting had been call
ed to order Secretary John III. Farrell
made his report In which he showed that
there were 30 leagues now in the Nation
al association fold, embracing 195 clubs
and controlling 1900 players.
Cal Ewing, president of the Pacific
Coast league, then began his protest
against players of the major leagues join
ing the California League clubs after the
close OF the season on the big circuits. He
said that each year big league stars drift
ed out TO the coast and caught on with
different clubs OF the outlaw circuit. He
stated that the only way to stop IL was
by declaring them outlaws
lie was followed by President Pulliam,
who said that he had notified all Nation
al league players on the outlaw teams that
they must sever connections with the
clubs at once or suffer penalty of a 500
fine. He stated that 1t was a matter for
the National commission to decide, and
that while he was not there as direct
representative of that body he could as
sure the Pacific coast delegates that the
trouble would be taken up by the COM
mission and an end put to It,
President Pulliam then went on to take
up the subject of the present unfairness
of the farming system and the unjust
drafting powers now vested in the big
leagues. For the best interests of the
game he said that restrictions should be
placed on the major league clubs In order
that the present evils OF farming might
be done away with. He offered no solu-
tion for the present difficulty, but said
The news-democrat. (Providence, R.I.) 1906-1909, 1907-10-30
OPPOSED TO FARMING OF PLAYERS

that IL the National association could de-
wise scheme to remedy the trouble that
he would stand behind the minors. He
showed In the brief length of time that
he dwelt on the subject OF drafting play
ers that he Was anything but I'm harmony
with the present conditions.
In treating the matter OF the proposed
formation OF a third major league circuit,
rumors of which have been agitating the
baseball men in New York for the past
few days, he said that whenever the flag
of disloyalty to the National association
was raised that enough loyal leagues
would be aligned TO fight the movement TO
the last ditch. He said that he did not
place much faith in the formation of such
a league, and that there was no need to
worry about crossing the bridge until
they came to II. Throughout his speech he
was continually interrupted by the enthu-
siastic delegates. and when he concluded
the hall rang with cheers for him and
the National league.
The rumors which have led to the cir
culation of the story regarding the forma-
ton of third major league have arisen
from the dissatisfaction now existing I'm
the American association over the So
called injustice OF the drafting system. Ac-
cording TO one story II is planned to place
clubs in Chicago, st. Louis, Cincinnati
and Pittsburg. while another wildcat tale
has II that Buffalo will be- grabbed from
the Eastern league fold. 1t is freely stated
that in the event OF trouble the st. Paul
club would be thrown into Chicago.
President Powers took up the subject of
third big league during the course of
the meeting, but treated the matter very
lightly and said that the national officers
had heard nothing except idle rumors on
It,
The meeting yesterday was of short du-
ration and after the appointing of several
committees adjournment was taken until
this afternoon.
