COACHING AT YALE.
Chicago American League Infeld
 Aids in Fall RnaehnII Pranfaaa

Chicago American League Innelder
 Aids in Fall Baseball Practice.
 New Haven. Conn.,. Ocr 1S-Barney Reilly, the Chicago Amerscan League indelder. is helping In the Yale base ball coaching this fall. and by many it is thought that he will be chosen to do part of the coaching of the Yale nine next season. Captain Seeve Phfibin says that his policy will not be aa- nounced for several weeKs. It has been thought that some former Yale player. who can give his entire time next spring to the coaching, might be chosen head coach, with the adition of professional pitcher to look after the box material. One rumor had 1t that Tad" Jones, the former Yale cap- tain. might be picked. ana another was that his brother, Howard Jones, who is the Yale football coach this fall, was likely to be the selection.
 The Yale squad was called out a weak ago for fall work. Captain Phil bin is playing football and has had little time to give to the coaching of the candidates. nearly all of whom are novices. Paul Badger, second baseman last year, was appointed to take gener- al charge of the coaching this fall.
