BRADY'S ALLEGED
OFFER MYTHICAL

New York, Nov. 1.-THE sporting
world, JUS now keenly interested in
the coming Jeffries-J Johnson fight,
noted with interest the report of an
offer by William A. Brady, a theatrical
manager, to post $4,000, the entire
sum to go to Jeffries if he would
agree to fight "Al" Kaufman within
ninety days. Interest increased
throughout the day when no word of
reply came from Jeffries, but the bot
tom dropped out when Sam Berger,
Jeffries' manager, did some talking.
when the bids have been opened
and the club and date for the Jeffries-
Johnson fight have been settled upon.
If William A. Brady comes forward
with the $4,000 cash then Jeffries will
consider meeting Kaufman" said
Berger.
AS it is now, Berger said, neither ne
nor Jeffries considered Brady's pub
lished offer seriously. They had heard
nothing of it. he said. except through
the newspapers.

WANT GOPHERS To

Chicago. Nov. lift Minnesota and
Notre Dame are successful in winning

football critics say.
The Gophers, if they win from Wis

Notre Dame wins it's remaining con-

On the other hand, IL Minnesota
agrees to play Notre Dame. it will have
to get the consent of the other mem
bers Of the conference There may be
some objections raised, but it is more
than likely such a contest could be
pulled off IL the interested universities
showed the proper inclinations.
Notre Dame has played good foot
ball so far this season, and has but one
hard game vet to play, that being with
Marquette, the team Michigan beat at
Milwaukee a few weeks ago. Notre
Dame has defeated every non confer
ence team OF rank in the west this
season, including Michigan. The Hoos-
iers also Travelled east and trimmed
Pittsburg, which is considered to be
one of the strongest secondary teams
I'm the east. y
Marquette and Notre Dame will bat
tie at Milwaukee on Thanksgiving day
and the game with Minnesota could be
played on the second Saturday follow
ang. OF course Notre Dame must win
Ats contest with the Milwaukee aggre
cation and Minnesota must win from
the Badgers on Saturday to make such
q contest possible. 1t is generally be-
aieved the Gophers will triumph over
the Badgers and Notre Dame should
beat Marquette, If the players do not
become too overconfldent.

SHIFT LEADERS

What an unloading OF baseball
managers and reloading again! st.
Louis, in the middle west, drops Nc
Aleer from the Browns, and he is en-
gagged by Washington. No particular
dissatisfaction with McAleer, but he
had become weary of being chided by
the public and the press for "circum-
stances over which he had no con-
troll"
Washington, sick unto death with
being a tailender, permits Cantillon to
go elsewhere and takes McAleeer on,
move which many consider to- be
most fortunate for Washington. If
McAleer does not make Washington a
championship team, he most certainly

He tried again and again, but he

/ tice that Wagner swings a bat loosely
and different from every other batter.
He hits at the ball as he pleases, and
he always drives 1t hard He bats his
own way.
1T is the same with Coy. Nobody
ever taught him how to kick. He sim
ply takes a loose swing at the ball with
that powerful foot of his and no mat
ter how ho strikes it, the ball goes and
goes hard. He can hit 1t on the top,
on the bottom or in the middle. 1t
shoots forward just the same. IT is
the great power behind It, That is his
own way of kicking, and as he Ia the
best kicker Yale ever had nobody can
assume to himself the duty Of trying
to teach Coy anything about his pc
culiar art"
Ted Coy is so timid that he has often
been misunderstood by the coaches.
Having been born and brought UP in
the Yale atmosphere, his whole soul is
in the success of the Bulldog. On sew
eral occasions the coaches have gone
to Coy and suggested that he make a
certain kind of play.
Why, haven't been doing it right 2"
he would ask
Certainly" replied the coach, but
this is a new idea"
That reinsurance would not satisfy
Coy, however. He didn't realize that
he was a great player, AMI he was
afraid that he had done something
wrong, and that the coaches did not
want to tell him. He would go home
and worry about 1t.
When he gets in action. however, this
timidity disappears. He is a lion in
of attack He throws every
thing to the wind, and goes in to win
or die. Last year, fter his cyclonic
rush that won the game from Prince
tin, he broke down and cried like a
baby.

Detroit would slip into the ice box for

the other doing the city in the last

Ign team he win surprise ali OF his

A change is imminent at Philadel-
pflia, where there is dissatisfaction
with William Murray, no matter how
much the Philadelphia management
may seeek to conceal the fact from the
public More than that Ii would not
be surprising If there were a change
in ownership. Those who purchased

quently made by business men who
jump into baseball on the theory that
it is a gold mine.
LOOK " wv ray
They have not made the profits
which they have anticipated, and they
have treated some of their players in
a niggardly manner. Hence it is not
probable that the players can be in
duced to engage again with Philadel-
phia If conditions are to remain as
they were this year.
The change in the Boston American
League club was the most unexpected
of all. Fred Lake after his success in
1909, seemed to be the assured man
ageer of the Boston club in 1910. He
and the owner of the club could not
agree on the salary question and Lake
departed in peace, while Patsy Dono-
van, once manager Of the Brooklyn
team again enters actively into the
limelight as tine new manager of the
Boston team.
Time will tell whether the move
was polite. Mr.. Taylor has some very
positive ideas about his club, and Mr..
Lake was a very good manager in
1909, Any major league club which is
looking for good manager will make
no mistake if it engages him.
The Boston National League club
has not announced its manager for the
coming season. If the Boston Nation
al League club could induce Lake to
take mold of that organization, the
move would be wise and polite. Per-
haps Lake would not care to do so.
Whatever. his personal opinion might
be, there will be none to deny him
credit for the good work that he did
the past season.
There seem likely to be no other
changes. Even with those made, base
ball will be assured Of enough new
variety to add to the zest with which
another championship season will be-
gin.
