MIX-UP OVER COACH
Yale Football Captain Probably Will Not Appoint One Till
 After Holidays.
III. H. JONES NOT TO COME
Possibility That He Will Be Here to Coach Nine in Place of Tad
 Rockwell May Come.

No coach for the Yale football eleven will be appointed until after the Christmas holidays unless something unexpected happens today or tomor- row It was exrected that Howard H. Jones, end of Captain Bglow's cham plonshlp eleven of 1907 would be the man chosen but Jones up to the pres ent time has declined to come. While It is settled apparently that Jones will not coach Syracuse next year. no state ment has been procured from him as to where he will go, Syracuse would be glad to have him again, but he has said that he could not stay and he has introduced there q graduate system of coaching which Is similar to the one used at Yale
 Sometime ago there was g report that Howard Jones had signed a secret con tract to coach Annapolis next fall Tfp to the present time he has refused to either confirm or deny this report and t Is generally believed that he intends to coach another year before going Into business He likes coaching very much and the position of foreman fin a paper mill is not aluring after tho six years of prep school and college spent in the outdoor mir.
 Should Tad Jones marriage prevent his return here 10 coach the baseball team there Is possibility that How ard could be induced to come here to coach the nine in the spring. giving Yale baseball final experiment. in graduate coaching, But so far as the baseball authorities know Tad Jones stil' intends to return and bring out a winning nine. Ills brother is lust as popular with the members Of the squad and Is as well I'D on the scientific points Of the game.
 With Howard Jones practically not to be considered az coach .of the foot ball team next fall. with Captain Burch engaged as coach of the Univer- sity of Cincinnati team; with Arthur p, Brides impossible as q coach owing to his work in the medical school the Yale football authorities arc in a worse place than the baseball association. Biglow who coached thls years eleven 's In the Columbia law school and none of the other members of that cham p'onsh'p eleven are in position 10 coach, having settled down to more im- portant pursuits of life.
 II ls understood that one of the req o sons why no coach has vet been ap- pointed Is that the Yale authorities be- lleve there Is a slight chance of getting Foster Rockwell back from the west for final year with the Yale eleven Rockwell was all-American quarter 1 back on James J. lfogans eleven in the ! fall of 1904. was coach of Sammy ! Morse's team in l9O6 and since has been having very successful career as a 1 coach in tho west

FINE TEAM WORK
Bengals Play All Around Heav- fer Blues and Win Easily by
 Score of 38 to IS.
FAST BASKETBALL GAME
Passing and Shooting Best Seen in Armory This Ycar--Thosc Who
 Did Tallying.

The Bcngals of the Foote Boys club played rings around the Blues in the armory last night in a lively basket ball game whining by a score of 3S to l3 The armory team weighed fully fifteen pounds heavier than the tiger team, who were boys of fifteen or six teen years of ago. but they put up the snappiest article of team work seen in the arlnory this year.
 The Blues team were helpless against the passing of the little fell lows. They were all over the court, snapplng the ball backwards or pass ing it forwards at will, and there all ways was a man in their orange and black suits where the ball landed The shooting was good, too. The Blues could not cover up against such per- feet machine-llke playing which ac- counted for the high score.
 The game started with speed 10 spare. In two minutes the Bengals had two goals with four point lead, and they were never headed. At one time the score was only to In favor of the winners who then got some passing to work and the first half ended in their favor by l6 10 z
 The Bengals started the second half with three more goals after six min utes in which neither team was able to pierce the others defense. Then the winners let loose, and 1t was only their lightncss that kept the score down to 3S. They made fully three dozen good shots at tne basket dur ing the last half that missed by only a few inches.
 Gerlc Shansey and Cohen shot most of the goals for the Bengals, but the entire team was excellent
 Just before the game the light over tho center of the court broke and showered the floor with glass, but nc one was hurt.

FEW NEW GROUND RULES
Umpire to Have Charge of Field ir Practice--One Base Only on Ball in Blcachers--Monumcn to
 Late Henry Chadwick.

New York Dec. 10.--A novel fea. turc of to-day's baseball league ses- slons which closed the American leagues annual meeting and left enough work for the National league to keep 1t busy not longer than to- morrow, was joint meeting of these two organizations. It was at the sug. gestion of President Ban Johnson of the American league, agreed to by all the members that the rivals for the favor of enthusiasts of the National sport exchanged fclcltatons at the meeting place of the National league in the Waldorf Astoria All tho members of tho American league were represented and all of the National league excepting New York which has not appeared at any of the ses- sions.
 It was explained by the spokesmen of the visiting league that the meeting had no specific purpose other than of ha-mony and fostering spirit of closer identity and cooperation, Rep resentatlves of eight American clubs spoke and the presidents of seven Ma tional clubs responded. President Pulllam of the National league said that since the American league had departed from time -honored custom ! by holding It's annual meeting here. the National league would reclpro- cate by holding the spring schedule making meeting with the American 1 league in Chicago.
 The day was a busy one for hoth bodies. At its morning and conclud- ing session the American league adopted a rule governing preliminary practice. To this forty minutes Is to be given before each game thirty minutes 10 the visiting team exclusive 1 ly, and ten to the home team solely. | Umpires are to have charge of the field during this time to enforce the rule. UmpIres are to be instructed that runners on balls thrown into the bleachers are to be given an addition al base instead of being allowed to go 6ll the way home
 Score card abuses were discussed and 1t was arranged that each club is to maintain q large bulletin board, beside the field score board, giving the batting order accurately and in- dicating all changes as they are made. C. w, Somers, of Cleveland. was re- elected vice president and the board of directors was made to comprise the presidents of the Detroit. St. Louis, Philadelphia and Washington clubs.
 The National league voted to com plete fund for the erection of a monument to the memory of the late Henry Chadwick, "the, father of American baseball" and to provide for perpetual care of the plot in which he fig buried. Resolutions were adopted in memory of Frank De Haas Hobison, for pany years identified with the league.
 Other business done by the National learue was the appointment of com mittees. Messrs Ebbets, Dreyfuss and Pulliam were chosen the commit tee on schedule: the committee on constitution consists of Messrs. Herr marn, Locke and Dovey; and the com mittee on playing rules of Messrs Pulliam. Murray and Heydler, the, sec- retary of the National league. MT.
