SLATE CALLS FOR SEVEN
NEW BALL MANAGERS
bune Special Sporting Service.


NEW YORK. Nov. l4-According to
rumor, there will be at least seven new
managers in each big baseball league next
season. Various reasons are assigned for
the wholesale transfers. Fred Clarke pre-
fers ranch life to bossing the Pirates /;
Frank Chance did not do well at Chicago
and Will be replaced because he could not
win pennant without lacking an extra
day onto the regular season; McGraw is
making too much money as billiard
room proprietor TO be tempted by salary
of fifteen or twenty thousand dollars, and
so on.
Around in the various places where
sporting men congregate there is plenty
doing In the rumor line. A brand new
one that came TO light the other day was
70 the effect that Charley Eboetts want
ed Willie keeler to manage the Dodgers
keeler. however, denied the story. 1t is
whispered about that the Brooklyn club is
sure TO make a change OF managers. No
body wants TO see Pat Donovan lose out,
and. as far as knowledge of baseball goes.
Patsy has never been found lacking, The
question OF discipline Is what Is bothering
the officials of the Brooklyn club. Ger
tain players openly dehed Donovan and
took advantage OF his well-known aver
sion TO strict methods OF discipline. The
right move would be TO trade off the mall
contents and Give Donovan the material
he wants. There are three Brooklyn play
ers who misbchaved quite often last sea-
son and who could be traded off for some
fine young players. Nearly everybody

ACCOMMODATIONS ARE
INADEQUATE AT GAMES
Tribune Special Sporting Service.

NEW YORK, Nov. l4.--That the popu-
larity Of football is increasing In all parts
of the country Ia proved by the great de-
mand that prevails for tickets admitting
to all important intercollegiate gridiron
contests. Despite the great throngs that
have attended the principal games Of the
past few seasons In both the cast and
the west the limit OF enthusiasm has not
yet been reached. Time and again II
has been shown that the attendance at
the big football games OF the fall Is only
limited by the capacity OF the stands sur
rounding the fields Of play. The announce
ment that more than $4,000 applications
for seats for the coming Yale Harvard
game at New Haven on November 21 are
on flo is but one case In point. OF this
number OF wouId-oe spectators more
than so per cent are certain to be disap-
pointed In their desire TO witness the
game, since less than $4,000 can be accom-
modated at Yale deld on that date.
This condition Of affairs prevails not
alone in regard to this one !ntercolle giate
football contest The application for
seats at the Princeton Yale game today
was also well In excess OF the seating ca
pacity Of the Tigers stands, which aggre-
gate e trifie more than $4,000. Reports
from Philadelphia, where the Pennsyiva-
MIA Cornell and the Army Navy games
are to be played on November 2s and %,
respectively. indicate a similar situation.
Franklin Field, crowded TO its utmost
limits, Will not seat moro than 80, 900 spec
tators, and there are apparently far more
than this number Of persons who would
be very much pleased II they were as
sured OF seats at one Of both OF these
games.

Dwyer, 1T is doubtful II there Will be any

to escape the attention OF reforiners for

high class racing In the east. Judging
from tho recent meeting at Pimllco
Those who know Baltimore and the
conditions that prevail hero say there
isn't chance in thousand for outside
reformerS OF the stamp OF Gregg and
Crarts TO get SO much as hearing here.
II local people want TO have house
cleaning. that Is another metter but the
professional trouble-makers are barred.
In the next place, the men who are at
tho head OF the Maryland Jockey club
are true southesn sportsmen, concerned
more about the class Of sport on their
track than dividends, OF course, they
want a reasonable return on their invest
ment. but they are not willing to sacrifice
everything for money Their aim 10 to
have a reasonable amount of racing In
the spring and fall for racing's sake, and,
so Tar as Is possible, to discourage heavy
speculation.
In fact. heavy speculation Is a thing
they Will not permit. They welcome all
persons as long as they are In good stand
ing and well behaved. but the men who
bot thousands on New York tracks are
content with modest wagers here They

people OF Baltimore Another is that IL

SHEPPARD'S WIN IS
1903 BANNER EVENT
President Sullivan Sums Up All
Important Athletic Classics

Tribune Special Sporting Service.
NEW YORK, Nov. l4.-When ques-
toned as to what he considered the great
est athletic event OF 1908, President James
p Sullivan OF the Amateur Athletic union
declared that Melvin Sheppards victories
at Lond -n-especially the l500-me race
was to his mind not only the most SEN
sauonal, but the classiest happening OF
the track and field year.
when ! select Sheppard's running as
the banner athletic work OF the year, ]
have In mind all the great performances
done both here and abroad. said Mr.
Sullivan. There's Porters jumping.
Smithson's hurdling. Rector, Walker and
Kerr at the sprints. Irons great long
jump at London. Carpenters great quar-
ter-m!le victory and wonderful work In
the weights by Rose, McGrath and Flana-
gan-they all pale before Sheppard's work
In the middle distances.
1T is the first time we have beaten
England In the mile race on English soil,
and British sportsmen were hearthroken
at losing the race. Sheppard went out
of his distance to win the l500-meter race
which makes his performances all the
more meritorious, Aside from his work
at London. Sheppard won the Metropoli-
tan, Canadian and American half-mle
championships-all better than 1.5S. The
only reason he did not take the English
title as we'll was because the steamer
did not bring him to London in time for
the race.
ITO my mind the 150o-meter race is the
star event on the Olympic programme,
and Sheppard's feat In winning It from
the English milers in their own climate
was by long odds the greatest athletic
occurrence Of 1908.'

Tribune Special Sporting Service
NEW YORK. Nov, 14.-Although sew
era weeks Will .elapse before the club
owners of the National and American
leagues get together for their annual
meeting, talk is rife as TO what the base
pau magnates are going to do In the way
or changes, New rules are being dis
cussed, but II is still too early to make
a definite prediction.
The unsatisfactory ending OF the Ma
tional league fight will probably lead to
a lot OF talk. and maybe change. The
controversy that grew out OF the tie game
OF September 20. between the Giants and
Cubs. offers an excellent reason for modi-
flying the rules.
Harry PullIam Is sure of reelection as
president OF the league. but II Is intimated
that John T. Brush Will not cast the only
vote against the Kentucky colonel at the
next meeting.
Probably by the tine that the meet
ings take place the national commission
Will have settled the cases Of the players
who were declared ineligible for playing
post season games in and around Chicago.
In this particular instance the commission
must either back down OF begin to assess
fines by the wholesale. So many players
are involved that the fines probably VIII
be remitted and new rules adopted to
cover such games.
The double umpire system and the
question OF barring spectators from the
playing field will be brought up by Mr..
Pullian at the winter meeting. II is be-
neved that no changes will be made in
not in the National league. One reason is
that umpires are so scarce that II Is dif-
ficult TO engage even four good men, 10
say nothing OF eight or nine. The Ameri-
can league Is partly committed to the
double system. but tho league has not
acted. II Ban Johnson wants two um-
pires for every game he Will get them
While Mr.. Pulliam Is non -conmittal
about the umpire business, he is out
spoken regarding tho regulation of base
ball crowds, He believes that specta-
tors should not be allowed on the field
and that any club owner who packs his
stands should be willing TO bar the gates
