FOSTER SANFORD FOR YALE.
Organized System of Football Tutor ing the Coming Year.

While Captain-elect E. H. Coy, of the Yale football eleven, has not ap- pointed any head coach for next sea- sons football eleven, 1t can be stated on good authority that his appointee will not be Howard H. Jones, this years Syracuse coach, who has been generally talked of for the position. Howard Jones could undoubtedly have the position If he wished it, but previous engagements will make it impossible for him to accept should the appointment be rendered him.
 L. II. Biglow will find it impossible to return another year and Tad Jones is to become superintendent of a pa- per mill, so that his services will not be available. Arthur E. Brides will be in medical school and could not give the requisite time to the work. Captain Burch is to study law in Cin- cinnati and neither Riddle nor Wheaton would return. So there is nothing to make Captain Coy follow the precedent of appointing one of the players on the previous team.
 The plan which has been most fav-
 
 orably thought of and which will be brought to the attention of the ath- letic council and of the captain-elect, is the appointment of George Foster Sanford as head coach for next year, giving him the power to exclude from the field those graduate hang CTS on who are never of the slightest use to the team and who retard rather than help It's development.
 The appointment of Foster San ford would be fought against by a certain element. including the vested rights, but the Yale graduates are demanding a winning team and ab. solutely no favoritism with the men. Sanford is the last man who could be accused of favoritism and the eleven men who started any game would be the best eleven men who could be sent onto the field.
 Sanford has turned out a great many winning teams, one of which was the Columbia team which de- feated Yale. He has always been able to do more with Yale men in a few minutes than the regular run of coaches could do in several days. Members of the present team who will be back next year are strongly iu faYor of bis annointnant

DoRANDo CONFIDENT.
Sure He Can Beat Longboat or
 Shrubb Either in Marathon.

II will beat Longboat just as easily as ran away from Hayes, ? Dorando Pietri, sitting in modest little fiat on Hundon street, New York, surrounded by some of his compatriots. with the vermouth bot tie on tray in the center of the ta- ble. nodded his head in approval as his brother, Ulpiano, translated his remarks into English.
 T don't know whether or not I will race Longboat," went on Doran- do. ".but if I do l will beat him. I will also beat the Englishman, Shrubb, if he will run over the Mara -thon distance I won't race him 10 miles, however"
 In speaking of the Wednesday night race Dorando stated that if the race had been run out of doors he would have beaten Hayes by a mile "This was my first race indoors, !" said he, "and did not know how I would be affected. l didn't want to take any chances. and that's why we were so close together throughout most of the race.
 Early in the race I knew I had more speed than Hayes. but 1 did not want to exert myself by going away from him sooner than did.''

BIG PURSE OFFERED.

John Considine has cabled to the London Sporting Life that he will hang up a $10,000 purse for wrest- ling match between Frank Gotch, the American champion, now in England, and Yussiff Mahmout, the Turk who defeated Tom Jenkins in two straight falls last week. Considine says he will post the amount of the purse as soon as the. men sign articles, but stinplates that The bout must be de- cided in Madison Square garden, Mahmout has shown enough skill, says Considine, to warrant this offer and for that reason there appears to be no good reason why Gotch should not accept. Antonio, the Turk s manager. says that his man is after the championship, and if Gotch ac. cepts Considine's offer, terms can be readily agreed upon, as Mahmout wants to wrestle catch as catch can style, at which Gotch is most for midable.

THE PUCILSTS
Awaiting the Re'ult of the Jsbu- son and Buns Battle =
 Other News

The winner of the Burns-J ohnson heavyweight championship fight in Australia on December 26 will have to meet either Stanley Ketchell or Al Kaufman or lose the respect and support of America sporting men
 Billey Delaney, manager of Kaufman has cabled to the Referee at Sydney challenge in which he says that the big Californian will tackle either Burns or Johnson, in the event of q decisive result, in forty-five round or finish fight for the worlds cham pionship. Delaney states that he is willing to split the purse on the basis of 80 per cent to the winner and 20 per cent to the loser and that If this is not satisfactory Kaufman will fight winner take all, with side bet Of from $2,500 to s5,OO0. Kaufman says that Burns will win, but that in case the latter is beaten he will agree to take Johnson on, though he is averse to meeting negro. Mean while Promoter Coffroth of San Francisco says he will hang up t purse for ketchell to meet the wifl- ner of the battle in the Antipodes, if Ketchell will agree not to draw the color line. Ketchell says that he is getting too heavy to remain in the middleweight class and that he has practically decided to fight as a heavyweight in future. He says he hopes that Burns wins. but that if Johnson is victorious he will tackle the big colored pugilist, although that does not mean that he will not draw the color line in other cases. It is just possible that whether Burns or Johnson wins the cham pion will order Ketchell and Kauf- man to fight for the right to indulge in a battle before trying for the title. That will enable the champion to do a little touring for easy money be- fore he Is put, to a real test. x

THE CRIDlRON
TAs Records of All the Teams
 Show That All watsrburys '. Did Well

All the members of the All Water bury football team will meet at the Boys club rooms on Wednesday evening at 8:15 to wind up the af- Ifairs of the league for the season and
 also to elect new manager and cap
 tain for next season. Manager Law
 lor has done remarkable work this season with his team, considering the
 many difficulties he bad to overcome.
 It Is the general. opinion that he will
 be asked to assume the management
 again for next season. Because of the superb work that Henry
 Schildgen of Naugatuck has done for
 the team this season Manager Law
 Tor presented to that player last Sun
 day a handsome Knights of Colum-
 bus watch fob. Relative to a game
 with the Naugatucks this season. 1t
 will be up to the players themselves
 to accept the challenge. It is really
 funny though that Naugatuck has
 had no team all season long. al-
 though asked at the beginning of the
 year to organize and join the league
 and now just as the season Is over,
 they want to get together and play
 the All Waterburys. It is strange
 that this anxiety to get game was
 not displayed by Naugatuck iG the
 early stages of the season. And just
 because the All Waterbury manage
 ment has not seen fit to give the
 Naugatucks chance to make few simoleons on the gate receipts, the
 school boy cry comes that All Water
 bury is afraid Of Naugatuck. History of other games does not prove that by any means. All Waterbury was
 not afraid to play All Brooklyn, the Films, the Acorns of Bridgeport and the Thomastons and it is silly to say they are afraid of Naugatuck All Waterburys would be foolish at this stage of the game, after playing a strenuous season, to let Naugatuck organize now and give them a battle.
 Even if Naugatuck is promised a game when the players meet We'd nesday evening, it is safe to say that the All Waterburys would line up with a strange bunch of players and not the originals. It would be a
 sort of a barn storming game.
 A glance over the records made by the All Waterburys this season will disclose the fact that they come pret- ty near to being the champions of
 the state. The All Waterburys and l the Acorns have each lost two games, while the Thomastons have been de. feated in three contests. The Acorns
 have lost two games to Thomaston, while All Waterburys have lost two games to the Acorns. The latter
 have won but one game out of four played against Thomaston, while All Waterburys have won two out oi three from the Thomastons and were
 really robbed of the third game. All Waterbury has played II games, winning 6, losing and tied. All Brooklyn has played games, win ming 1, losing 1 and tied~i 2. The
 Acorns have played games, winning 5, losing ? and ? tied Thomastou ffAaR aaaNad g games, winninasAszassisS and 2 tied

THE DIAMOND
The Old Chicago Team Had no Equal Says Old Pop
 Apson.

"The team that brought the pen nant back to Chicago in 1885 and 1886 was in my opinion not only the strongest team that ever had under my management, says Pop Anson, but taken all in all one of the greatest teams that ever played ball. Left field, which was still being play ed by Dalrymple, was the only weak spot. The fact, however, that Dal was terrific batter made up for some of his weak points. Behind the bat were Silver Flint and Mike Kelly, both of whom were widely and fa- vorably known. The outfield, to say the least, was equal to that of any other league clubs, while the infield was admittedly the best in the busi- ness. This. was Chicago's famous stone wall infield' that name being given to it because the only way to get ball beyond 1t was to drive it high over the felder's heads. Will Hanson, Pfeffer, Burns and myself made up this combination. and so long had we played together and so steadily had we practlced that there was not play that we were unpre- pared to meet. We had system of signals that was almost perfect.
 ''l had shifted the positions of Burns and Williamson so that the former was playing shortstop and the latter third base. Burns excelled at the blocking game, which he carried on in style particularly his own and which usually made lot of trou- ble for base runner. At short Will Hanson covered as much ground as any man I ever saw. While his throwing was of the rife shot order it was easy to catch. Fred Pfeffer was brilliant player. At the bat he was only fair. John Clarkson was the best pitcher Chicago ever had. Jim Mccormick was Clarkson's alter nate in the box, and John Flynn was the third pitcher. Moolic, who was signed to relieve Flint and Kelly, did not last long. Jimmy Ryan and Billy Sunday were both star out fielders. Ryan was also a big hitter while Sunday was star base runner No team ever played better or faster ball."

"Those, fellows who are always lscheming to form a new baseball league, said a magnate the other day, never risk their own money. They are always looking for angels and if they discover any they work them for all the are worth. Does anybody believe that if new major league circuit should be organized Clark Griffith, George Tebeau, Ed Hanlon and others who are promot- ing such scheme would dig down deep into their pockets for the coin? It takes nancy to run ball clubs and lots of it.. But these perpetual schemers never think of that so long as they can get berths that will yield snug sums for them in the way of salaries. Did you know that it cost nearly $1.000,000 to organize the present American league? That is going some and yet we hear that a third league is contemplated. If there are any backers of such a new ven- ture let them ask Griffith and the others to put up some of their own coin and then watch the fun"
