ALBANY, CAL. D.. Manning,
money order clerk in the postoffice

Postofice Inspector H. H. Wilson, of
Macon, Ga, charged with rifing the

and bound over under $500 bond.
The amount of shortage has not been
ascertained.
The arrest of Manning followed
upon request to the local postofiice
authorities to have watch kept up
on the money order business being
done by the Supreme Circle, negro
secret society with headquarters
here, whose officers claimed that
something crooked was being car

legged theft was worked along pretty
smooth lines, and the officers of the

THREE COACHES
FOR PRINCETON
FOOTBALL TEAM
Roper, King and Henry to Drill
1900 Eleven, According
TO Rum0r.

Those in touch with athletics at
Princeton declare that an announce
ment win be made shortly of a change
in the football coaching system of the
orange and black.
Instead of one coach with supreme
authority there will be three appoint
ed with equal jurisdiction.
The men who will be picked to mould
a winner on the chalked field next fall
are Bill Roper, '01, who was head coach
last autumn; Howard H. Henry, 'o4, Of
Philadelphia. one of the best ends ever
representing Old Nassau, and Phil
King. SO. another famous player.
The adyisa bility of creating a preo-
edent in Princeton football history by
installing d trio of head coaches, each
vested with equal power, is a question
that can be argued almost increasingly.
1t has been tried at a few minor insti-
tutions and failed. However, judging
from sthe ealibre ef2the men who viii
be placed in charge of Princeton foot
ball affairs. there appears 70 be every
reason 10 believe that the Tiger sea-
son will De attended with great sue
cess.
The worth Of a definite plan of campaign
was shown last year at Harvard, and. tax
ing a leaf from Percy Haughton's coaching
book, the Princetonians will endeavor TO
emulate the success of the Cambridge col
legians. Roper. Henry and King will map
out a carefully advised campaign. that VIII
have in view the success Of the coming
seasons as well as the play of the year.
\ plan OF action for the whole season will
- H-- - -. ell G-aafoI
attention will be given to the development
of scrub players. so that a strong nucleus
for the 1910 team will be formed.
Roper, Henry and King are unanimous N
their opinion that the Princeton football
men should be called out much earlier in
the season than has been the ease in past
years. The Tigers commence work about
two wekes later than other colleges, oH ing
to a faculty. ediet that forhidS their report
ing before that time.
Two weeks start in early-season training
is a far greater advantage than IT appears
to be 70 laynen, aud for that reason the
new guardians of Princeton's football affairs
will try to influence a change in the date
when the candidates are to be called out.
BIZ Roper, who has coached the Tigers
for the last three years, will be a great aid
10 his co-workess in planning the campaign,
as his experience as head coach will stand
him In good stead.
The praises of Phil King, 90. have often
been sung as the greatest quarterback who
ever handled the leather. King will have
ample opportunity to Illustrate his skill at
this phase of the game. as "A field general is
one of the first positions that viii have to
be filled at the lair of the Tigers next fall.
Howard II. Henry is one of the best
ends who ever covered an extremity for
the Orange and Black. and his skill will
be tested to the utmost in bolstering I'D
one of the weak points OF last years
combination.
Roper. Henry and King all made the
All-American, while at Princeton, and
were rated as stellar performers in their
respective positions.

Are RoseviIle Alley. "on.,

Much speculation is being done regard
ing the poor showing which the teams
representing the Roseville Athletic Asso-
citation are making this season. Roseville
has always. been a pame which carries
with 1t the idea of high work on the
alleys. This season the Athletic League
five, which has won championships with
out number Is near the foot of the first
division; the cwark League team, usually
a contender for the championship, is oc-
cupyiug u similar position, and the Rose
vile Suburban League five is almost at
League. The Rosayille bowlers are not at
all slow in saying that the poor condi-
tion of their bona alleys accounts for 1t.
They claim that the work done when the
alleys were renovated was poor, and that
consistent pinning on them is impossible.
putting up a lot of double-century counts,

sort to the plea Of blaming the alleys for
mediocre work, but the calibre of the
Roseville pin knights is so well known
that when they complain all feel that there
must be some justification for 1t.
The fact that they are able to do as well
as they have ever done in tournaments
decided on other alleys is another argu-
ment In their favor. 1t would seem to be
9 thing for the bowling committee at
Rcseville to carefully look into.

JOE M'GINNITY, FAMOUS IRON Man,

ager John McGraw has asked all the
league clubs for waivers on McGinnity's
services, which means that If all clubs
waive claim the Iron Man Is doomed
to go TO some minor league team. Me-
Graw wanted to dispose of the famous
pitcher last season, but no other club
was willing to assume the large salary
McGinnity received from the New York

the pitching staff.
