HIkING 4 PLAY

"A very interesting page from the
Yale football annals In that which
deals with the development of the ia
nous 'tackle-backs formation which in
1900 enabled Yale to defeat Princeton
go and Harvard $50" writes William
7. Reid. Jr., in the October American
Magazine. He continues:
The formation was the work of
Walter Camp. and. like the play just
described. was based wholly upon the
defensive play of Yale's opponents.
when Mr.. Camp first gave the plays
to the Yale team there We're many of
the coaches who declared that while
they would probably succeed against
minor teams they would never work
against the bigger ones. The plays
were too slow and heavy. they said.
The feeling grew and grew. until just
before the Indian game there was
strong talk of abandoning the forma-
tion altogether. Mr.. Camp. however
held out for it. and To show his faith
promised that if Yale did not defeat
the Indian team by 30 points he would
himself agree to "A change. The indian
game came and Yale Won it $50.
From that time on all criticism
stopped and the tackle back became Il
permanent part of Yale's offense."

New Manager For Washington Team.

The first announcement of n change
in big league management came this
week when Jimmy McAleer, manager
of the St. Louis team for several sea-
sons and lander of the club in various
places from eighth tn second. an
nounced that he would accept the offer
to lead Washington in 1910. 1t has
been known for some time that there
would be change at Washington,
but it was not until the talk with Nc
Aleer that there was anything defi-
mite.
McAleer was at one time the greatest
outfilder i'm the national game and
played with Cleveland. Since he has
been managing he has been known as
one of the craftiest of leaders. 1t Is
said that few managers will make a
trade with him SO rare is his judgment
of players. But this season has been
"A bad one at st. Louis, and McAleer
was glad of the chance to get away.
1t was understood that an effort was
made to get Fielder Jones at Washing
ton, but the hitch came because Jones
wanted n controlling interest In the
club. McAleer is to be given a block
of stock for taking the managership.
The fact that President Noyes of the
Washington club would not listen to
Jones proposition brings out just how
baseball has developed in the past few
years. When Fred Postal let go of
the team ut loss it was taken over
by the league because no one would
invest in it, In order to get the local
men interested II was sold to Noyes
and his associates for about $4,000.
and of this but a small amount was
paid down and the balance was cared
for with notes. That year the team
made enough money to retire the
notes, and only last year 100000 for a
half interest was refused. 1t is under
stood that Jones offered $i25.ooo for 81
per cent of the stock.
