Veterans Brace Up Yale's Second
Team to Give Regulars
Real Practice
Real Practice

NEW HAVEN, Conn. oct. 6.-After
a postmortem on the squalIy Syracuse
game, in which Yale was outplayed at
pretty nearly every point, it has been
decided that the Yale team was in poor
form because the second eleven at Yale
IS weak and does not give the regulars
satisfactory practice.
Yesterday this trouble was avoided
when Head Coach BiEelow went into
the scrub rush line at tackle Tad
Jones returned to his old place at
quarterback and Clarence AIcott played
end for a time
Brides, the veteran Of two seasons,
was also placed on the second eleven.
He was assigned 10 half back. although
il is still planned TO use him at tackle
on the varsity when he regalns his
physical playing condition.

Should Giants Lose a Game
Commission May Evade
Responsibility.
FIVE-HOUR SESSION
BRINGS NO ANSWER
New York'S Chances Slim for
Playing Off Disputed Tie
With Chicago.

CINCINNATI, Oct ct is the opin-
ion Of prominent baseball men gathered
IN this city that If the Giants lose their
game with the Boston club either today
or tomorrow they will not get a chance
TO play of the disputed game with Chi
Cago that necessitated the special meet
ing of the board Of National League
directors.
The board was in session over five
hours yesterday, time ample for the
consideration of all evidence, but when
the meeting adjourned until today there
was no indication that there would be
3 decision within the next twenty-four
hours.
Shy at Responsibility.
Baseball men here believe that the
board of directors is preparing 10 evade
an uncomfortable responsibility by
throwing the protested game out Of the
records entirely In case the Giants lose
a game to Boston. This idea grew out
If the failure Of the league directors 10
make a decision in this most important
case yesterday when there was every
reason to expect that the verdict would
be reached by nightfal
The situation briefly is this: If the
board has decided to call the game a
tie, as experts here believe, there will
be no necessity for giving out their de-
cision until after the Boston game with
the Giants tomorrow.
Situation Complicated.
Should the Giants lose one Of their
two remaining games with Boston they
will have lost the pennant. as the count
now stands.
II they lose. it will be very easy for
the directors to evade the responsibility
Of a decision by declaring the game as a
tie and as the schedule will then have
been played out, the game can go on
the final record as no contest" and
the Cubs will win the penuant. In this
way they Will be spared the necessity
of extending the schedule one playing
day or more. which will he inevitable If
the Giants win these coming two.

Plea Of Self-Defense Accepted by jury
Killing Result of Quarrel
over Gambling

Shortly after o'clock yesterday
the case of State of Nevada VS.. J. II.
Longacre, which had occupied the at
tention of the district court for the
past week, was given to the jury. At
about o'clock the jury returned ver-
dict of not guilty and defendant was
discharged from custody.
1t is said that it required three bal
lots for the jury to arrive at verdicr,
the first standing for acquittal, 2
for guilty and blanks.
Longacre was indicted by the last
grand jury for murder, he having killed
miner named Mclaughlin at Seven
Troughs on the morning of August
18th. In an interview published in the
Silver State News of issue August Is,
Longacre claimed that the killing was
done in self-defense, Mclaughlin hav-
ing attacked and threatened to kill
him as the result of gambling trans
action of the previous evening.
That the jury accepted this as the
correct version of the affair is evil
denced by the verdict.
