He forced the fighting and several

The third was about even, Jim came

receive a handsome salary, but will
also be given a bonus if he lands the

to be graded according to the position
of the Red SoX among the first four

Pres. Taylor had a good opportunity
to size up Fred Lakes baseball knowl-
edge for full year before deciding
that he would make a valuable leader,
and the selection Of Lake will be vel

of the Red SOX, after the native son

Joseph Gordon.

Joseph Gordon, the president of the
New York American League club, is Q
nliddle-aged gentleman of pleasing
personality ard universal popularity il
New York, of which city he is a ma
tive. When not engaged in baseball he
is engrossed in prosperous coal and
wood business. He is veteran in the
game. having been president of the old
Metropolitan club which, under his adj
niristration, Won the championship of
the old American Association in 1884.
Mr.. Gordon was also a stakeholder and
director in the old New York National
League club, of which his brother-in-
law, John b. Day. was chief stock
holder and president. When Mr.. Day
retired from baseball Mr.. Gordon went
out to, only to reappear later with the
advent of the American League. When
that new organization in 1902 was de-
priv3d of the Lennon avenue site it
had selected for a ball park and seemed
absolutely closed out of Manhattan Is
land. Mr.. Gordon was the angel who
came 10 the front with the hitherto
overlooked Washington Heights site,
and with the solid hacker Frank Far
rell has since proven himself to be,
and for which the American League
owes Mr.. Gordon a never-to- be-forgot-
ten deb of gratitude. Mr.. Gordon is
not only a sound baseball magnate,
good business man and respected citi
zen. but also somewhat influential in
New York politics. 50 in all ways has
his connection with the New York club
been beneficial alike to that club and
the American League.

GOSSIP AND COMMENT OF THE MAINE GR|D|R0N

last week in order to save his leg with
which he has had some trouble 1t Is
reported that U. of NJ. wished to keep
Bearce's leg, if possible, in condition
for punting at the other Maine games
to follow, believing that they would be
harder than the contest with Bates.
1t is not often that team plays Two
games on two successive days, but that
is the schedule of the Bar Harbor boys
this week This afternoon Bar Harbor
plays Ellsworth High at Ellsworth and
tomorrow they will go to Bluehlll to
play the eleven of the George Stevens
Academy in that town.
The Bangor News publishes good
picture of the eleven which represented
the Bangor High school IN 1880 anG
which shares with the Cony ElSh
eleven OF that year the honor of being
the first preparatory school football
team in Maine.
According to a Bangor authority the
average weight Of the Bangor Flgh
eleven this year is only 1874 pounds,
while the average weight Of the Port
land eleven is 80 pounds.
Probably no preparatory school game
in the country except the annual An
dover Exeter game arouses more m
forest than the battle between the two
great rivals, Groton and ST Marks.
The two officials in their game TINS
week We're Joseph B. Pendleton, Bow
doin 80, and f. X. Hall, Dartmouth
'93, who was one Of the officials in the
Bates-U. of NJ game last week.
The heaviest man in Maine football
this year is Captain Cochran, the big
center of the Bates eleven. but any
body who thinks that his weight
makes him slow is mistaken. In last
Saturdays game with Maine he re-
peatedly broke through the line ana
there was never any occasion to wait
for him when the teams lined up.
The scores made by the four col
lege elevens in the State at this stage
OF the race are Of interest:

he has won for the Athletic club with

Bates TEAM SHOWS
SOME IMPROVEMENT.

Lewiston, Me, Nov. 5.-(SpeciaD The
Bates College football team held scrim-
mage practice this afternoon. The first
part Of the practice was secret, but at
40 the gates We're thrown open to the
students. The second eleven was
strengthened by the addition of Quarter
back Elword, Hanback, Dorman and Full
back Lovely from the Varsity squad.
The teams were thus nearly matched. The
first few minutes of the scrimmage re-
vealed the fact that the work Of the
coaches was beginning to tell on the
'Narsty's line. Where the second team
was able to gain long distances last
night, they We're thrown back for a loss
tonight Elword made some pretty quar-
terback runs.
AS regards the game Saturday the
coaches are still silent. Although it was
feared that the men were slightly over
trained their work tonight showed no
staleness on their part Cummings, Bish-
op and Leavitt We're all tried at end to-
night 1t is not known Just how the team
will line up. In all probability there will
be two sets of backs used and extra line
any time that there is need of a change.
