HOMES STOPS
over FOR DAY

Among those present today was
FIELDER Jones, former manager OF the
White Sox and now prosperous apple
grower in Oregon. Jones was on his
way from Buffalo to the fest and drop
ped into baseball headquarters for a
little chat with MagnaIe Frank Navin.
Jones didn't have much TO say about
baseball, he's out of It, bu the drift VI
his conversation showed he would get
back into the game If ne could lanG
on the right terms.
Fielder would like TO be a magnate
or part owner OF a club. st. Louis is
NE only available major league clu..
inst now for a man of Jones capital
and ability, but II looks as though
there was nothing doing there. Jones
says he is willing to buy a slice OF any
good major league CLUB, but there
doesn't seem to be much OF an open
ing anywhere.
He will not return to baseball as a
player, neither will he participate sim
ply as hired manager. Jones would
make grand manager for st. Louis.
II Magnate Bob Hedges would consent
TO sell him a piece OF stock 1t would

nounces that failure to attend q
meeting will be followed by fine.
Mr. Mack explains further that he
does not know everything about base
ball and invites suggestions from all
OF his players. The newcomers are
little backward AT the start. but when
encouraged to do 30 by Mack they
respond with suggestions that often
prove valuable to the Athletics.
Comics curfew bell rings at mid
night. He does not believe In insist
ing that ball players retire at 10 or
IL o'clock, as they are almost regular
attendants Of the theaters, and as they
sleep until s o'clock In the morning,
he figures that eight hours rest is
sufficient.
The new Peerless Leader has never
countenanced any boisterous players.
He offers no objections to a player

woe be unto the athlete who becomes
tipsy. The fine line Of talk handed

Joyment for the fans who paid their
money on the baseball game. II you

men remain Ia the major leagues,

Billy Phyle who pitched for New
York Is an umpire In the Eastern
league, while Amos Rusie was piling
lumber out In Illinois the last heard
Of him. Two or three others manage
to stick In the minors.
The game was one of those red-hot
affairs, full OF sky rockets and so
forth. Crawford got four hits and
there were FIVE participants who
struck for more bases than he did.
Just before starting on the Cuban trip
Crawford let loose a few sentences
which explain the slaughter.
there was a big crowd that day,

ton football squad been in such good
shape for a driving finish as they are
at present and hope OF victory over
Yale in the annual struggle on Nov.

year since 1908, the date of the last
Princeton victory. Not man was in

Is coming at its fastest CHIP and
bids fair to be in perfect condition for
the clash with the Blue.
Ur graduate enthusiasm IS break
ing altitude record, for none OF
the pre- ent student body has ever wit

In 1908 Princeton beat Yale IL TO 8,

in 1906, when neither team scored.

Elmer Bates says that some one,
with an enduring fondness for static
tics, has shown by cold, tndisputaole
figures. that the average baseball life
of a player in the major leagues Is
four years. Some of them go along
playing great ball for ten, dozen, or
even twenty seasons. Others have a
butterfly existence, admired by every
body for a week or two, and then Tor
gotten. One player-"Sid" Jones was
his name-was In the National league
just long enough to pitch one ball.
This player-he was famous as a
pitcher on the back lot diamonds
around New York-had been clamor-
ing for a tryout with the Giants for
weeks. Finally he was signed to q
contract and was given chance TO
show his prowess.
Jack Sharrott, the old-time pitcher
who once won a pennant for New York
and who is fondly remembered all
around the old National league circuit,
took quite an interest In the young
man, perhaps In the hope that the
prospective recruit would prove so
good a twirler that there would be a
few more of days now and then for
the regulars.

CENTRAL To HAVE |
ATHLETIC FIELD
Project Receives Hearty Approval Of
Alumni Who Pledge Their
Active Support. Ell

Alumni of Central High school want
an athletic field. They will try 10
have the city purchase one. and, faii-
ing In that, will do the work BY pub
lie subscription. About $4,000 VIII
be required to convert tract OF nve
acres in the North End into suit
able field for holding competitive
game.
All sorts of schemes were suggest
ed at a meeting of the alumni In the
Griswold house, Monday evening.
Some desired mamoth stadium for
the use OF all schools, while the ma
jority seemed DESTROYS OF obtaining q
field for immediate use.
Some OF the high schools are In,
close proximity TO public play GROUNDED
but Central Is not. The municipality
not having provided these things, n
was the concensus OF opinion OF the
alumni that the association- ssouA4
get busy. ~
Wales c. Martindale, superintend-
ent of schools, was named to appoint
a committee OF 10. This comr7ktee
will investigate ways and meanE and
will report TO the association at the
earliest possible moment
Two sits are available. One con-
sists of Ave acres and is opposite the
Ford Motor Co.'S new plant. about
three blocks from Woodward-ave. II,
is just outside the limits OF Highland.
This place can be reached In 20 min
utes by street car from Central.
The other location Is 40 acrea at
Grand River and Boulevard. This
property could be purchased for
school purposes at bargain prices,
those who had investigated said. This
place would AFFORD a central meeting
place for teams from all high school
The committee OF 10 will make n
investigation as soon as possible am
another meeting OF the alumni -ill b
held probably within two weeks. III

IN 1909. Again this year was he slow
TO hit his stride. Powell went until
June % this campaign before winning
q game. 1t was June 20 before Petty
bagged his first victory.
Mack made the Athletics when he
parted with Waddell. Sure, the RUDE
was drawing card for Hedges-for a
while But he's no more; the Browns
this year were the sorriest tailender
that ever operated in either big
league, save for the Cleveland Extles
Of 1900, and their prospects are ex-
tremely poor Mack has a worlds
championship team.
Isn't 1t but the truth that Mack
saved and made the Athletics when he
sold Waddell. and that the Browns
tumble down the line dated from the
day the RUDE was acquired, though
granting that George Edward was a
drawing card for Hedges for a while?

bellhops at the Hotel Aldine in Philly
at the close OF the All-Stars-Athletics
series bears IL out "Germany's" share
OF the receipts was $500, and while he
was counting his wad he noticed the
greedy eyes Of the hops watching him.
He walked over TO the bench where
they were sitting and In loud voice
said
You boys have taken good care
Of me, and | propose to show you how
grateful l am. Now, everybody stand
up"
The eight hops leaped to their feet
and stood in proud, cleaning group.
AS | said before, you chaps have
treated me right, and I'm going to
pray for you in church tomorrow.

Ann Arbor High school has announc-
ed it's intentions OF entering pro-
test against Saturdays game with the
Detroit Central eleven. They claim
that Captain Western OF the Detroit
ers was ineligible under the rules OF
the M. l. A A.
According to their story Western
failed TO pass in q single subject last
semester He was taken sick toward
the close of the term and left school.
The rules require a completion OF IL
hours OF work for the preceding
semester.
Mr.. Jocylean Of the Ann Arbor fac
ulty who is also secretary OF the
state board, says that in all cases
where a man has been sick and thus
failed 10 complete the required work,
there has been no exception made.
As yet no formal protest has been en-
tered and the matter has been left
TO a committee of three men from
each or the schools.
