WHY STALLINGS WON'T
MANAGE THE YANKEES

There has been lot of talk of the reason
why Ban Johnson president Of the Amer
lean League, is sore at George Stallngs,
the man whom Owner Frank Farrell is
put down as having selected to lead the
Yankees next year.
By many it is considered personal rea-
sons" and possibly it is. for Stallings was
manager of the Detroit club just at the
time McGraw decided to shift his inter-
ests to the New York club. when Andrew
Freedman made the deal that gave New
York McGraw, and. in consequence, good
and winning base ball i'm New York
At that time, in 1901. the National
League and the American League were at
warm fact. they were at deadly enmity.
The Baltimore and the Detroit clubs
We're not thought to be making overmuch
mOney-in fact. they We're considered to
be the weak sisters of the American
League, and of course the easiest for Ma
tional League Vaccinations. or whatever
one might cali it at the time. All was
considered then fair in love and war"
Mr.. Freedman's agents found that there
was a fair field for them to work in in
Baltimore. and they did SO. McGraw was
in bad humOr over some decision Johnson
made against him and his club. and ac-
copied the terms that the New York club
offered.
McGraw brought to New York the play
ers that were the nucleus for the cham
pionship team that McGraw afterWard
presented. Those players We're McGinnity,
McGann. Bresnahan, Dunn and others,
who with Gilbert's accession afterward
helped, with what the Giants had at the
time i'm Mathewson. BOwerman, Browne,
Smith and others, to make Il pennant win
ner.
At the time this deal was made the De-
troit club was In the American League.
and with George Stalinss and Sheriff

could. Stallings had - per cent of the

TIGERS SHOW SPEED
BEATING FORDHAM

PRINCETON, N. J., October 22.-The
Princeton team made good the expecta-
lions of its supporters yesterday. when
1T defeated Fordham by the score of II to
o. All the scoring was in the first half.
The visitors came with the confidence
born of success and played well. But
the attack of the Tiger eleven was a
totally different quantity from what it
was few days ago. With the players
weeded out and the defense drilled to a
high degree of efficiency the coaches
turned their attention to developing the
offense. The result was that Fordham
did not once hold for downs while the
first string of players were in Read.
COKE, cunningham and Bishop never
failed to make what was required of
them.
The line bucking was team work from
start to finish, with every man helping
the runner. Fordham could make no
impression on the Princeton line, but
found weak places on the wings. This
was particularly true in the second half,
when WEIGH and Dowd were mo longer
playing. The Fordham interference aided
the runner for long gains and more than
once threatened the goal line, only to be
halted by an obstinate defensive rally.
Mccartney, the Fordham left end, dis
tinguished himself as an all-round player.
In the second half Princeton sent in
a number of cubs. The half was marred
by numerous penalties which the officials
administered in somewhat uncertain fash
ion. Fordham worked the forward pass
neatly and reached the 1-yard line. but
the Princeton line proved impregnable,
and Bishop punted out to Coffey. who
nearly recovered the distance with a clever
dash )Fordham was penalized and forced
to punt. Princeton returned the kick only
to have it rushed back to the 5-yard line.
The line held again and Bard punted out
of danger. Contrary to expectations, Ed
die Dillon. the Tiger captain, was not in
the game.

leagues. when they were at loggerheads
at every angle, and when 1t was consid-
cred rightfully that the Detroit club was
wavering, the National League made over
lures to the Detroit club of which Stall
ings had the controlling interest, and,
as reports went at the time, Mr.. Stall
ings listened to the tempter. 1t was even
said that the National League had got
a foothold in Detroit. But Sheriff Burns
! influence was strong enough to keep out
the National League from the City Of
the Straits, and the city was saved to the
American League.
But Ban Johnson has never from that
day to this. SO tits said. ever forgiven
either McGraw or Stallings for, as he
| thinks, the attempt to throw those two
cities of Baltimore and Detroit into the
National League.
At those times the fight between the
two big leagues was at its fiercest and
recriminations were at the hottest. Balti-
more, owing to the purchase of that club
of the most of its players, was not able
to put a team in the field and theI efore
lost its franchise. which fact Ban John
son. Notwithstanding the protest of the
union stockholders, took advantage of and
eventually New York itself got the Balti-
more franchise. which was worth 500. 600
at the lowest estimate, for nothing. But
Ban Johnson has never forgiven George
Stallings for his apparent -waver toward
the National League.
And this is possibly the reason that
Frank Farrell is now holding off his sane
ton to notifying the public that Stallings
is to be the next manager of the
Yankees.
Stallings does not stand in we'll with
the American League people just now on
account Of past experience, and Ban John
son himself knows more about the inside
business of all those interesting deals
than any one else, Ben johnson and Nc
Graw Will never come together as long
as they are in base ball, and Stallings
unless he can explain, to the powers that
be of the American League, will have
very hard time in squaring himself
But Frank Farrell at those interesting
times knew nothing of base ball, and his
connections with Mr.. Stallings were, as
he thought, for the good of his club and
base ball in general.
Ban johnson is q man who considers
the absolute loyalty of all those who are
League as his one great big asset and
consequently Stallings is being held up.

IF YOU wish tc, be In the ranks

say the authorities in whose hands
lies the awful power of debating what
women shall wear. They do not deign
to give good reasons, for so autocratic
is their power that they can command
obedience in manner more absolute
than can the car of Russia.
The prevailing color is to be green,
and to meet the mode shoe manufac-
turers have put forth green suede
shoe to match the gowns. There is a
great variety in this article, and one
Of the most fashionable styles consists
of what is known as the sheath boot.
This Is nothing more than the old
fashioned ten-strapped sandal In
stead, however, Of having straps the
shoe is made like an ordinary Napo-
leon boot, but the tops are cut In a
sort of diamond pattern and therefore
show a good deal Of open work. The
buttons are run right down the front
of the shoe and afford the button man
ufacturer an opportunity to do some
fancy ornamenting on the buttons.
incidentally all the diamonds cut in

in embroidery.
The most decided change in the new
shoe will be the edge trimming. In
stead of having the edges trimmed
close there Is to be considerable
leather on the outside of the shoe.
With the moderate shaped toe now in
use by the manufacturers of lasts 1t is
claimed that a wide scanned sole is
necessary to bring out the good points

kindliness and Good Nature Redeem
the PlaInest Features.

One Of the first things that the girl
who is seeking for beauty must think
about is her expression. You will no.
tice the plain girl whose face is so
expressive" when you would never
even see the girl whose features were
beautiful, but whose face lacked ex-
preston. Every one enjoys looking
upon young girl whose bright, laugh
Ing eyes light up her already cheerful,
smiling face. When you meet such .
girl as this your mouth forms smile
in spite Of you. But when you meet
the woman who is always whining or
the one whose imaginary ills bore you
to death, then how do you feel? You
become irritable and cross, and you
wish you never had met her.
Imagine then your effect upon other
people, and If you feel that 1t is not
as pleasant as 1t might be make 1t so
at once. Good nature Is an ideal beau
tifier. 1t brightens your eyes, dis
courages approaching wrinkles, and
brings tints Of the rose into your
cheeks, while a cross disposition
makes your eyes fretful and surround
ed by crows feet, and your mouth
droops at the corners and makes you
look years older.
