Cornell Has Four Teams.

ITHACA n. Y, September 3O.-The
Cornell foot ball coaches were much
gratified yesterday when they heard OF
the ARRANGEMENT made on the hill to give
the members of the foot ball squad as
far as possible university hours that will
not interfere with practice. NotwithStand-
ing the heavy work Wednesday, the
SQUAD had a long three-hour drill. -Four
teams, first and second varsity and hrst
and second scrub teams, were formed and
a system of graduation for merit was put
into effect The first team is the same as
that which played Wednesday. and Will

Hart Bursts the Ball.

workout by Coach Roper yesterday after
noon. and although the varsity beat the
second team by two touchdowns. the form

managed to spoil almost every play
through his side OF the line. and was one
of the first men down the field under

against Stevens. the varsity used a few
new plays of simple order. Twice Pen
dleton and Sparks worked the ball down
the field to within a few yards Of
touchdown, but the varsity had no play
that would make a score against the
strong scrub team. A few line plunges by
Capt. Eddie Hart and a long run by PEN

BY j. ED GRILLO.

Reports that four of the Nationals most
valuable players have been approached
by representatives of a proposed new
major league and offered fabulous sums
to sign for next season are not disturbing
the local, club owners. In the first place
little stock Is being taken in this new
league talk.
That ball players should encourage any
such movement stands to reason, for IT
gives them an opportunity to increase their
earnings materially. But there is no
room just now for another real major
quire an immense fortune to launch such
a scheme.
But it is not a difficult matter to get
players to sign contracts calling for enor-
nous sums and promising them bo-
muses. Nor are the players to be CEN
sured for entering into such negotiations.
But every year there are threats Of new
leagues which never materialize. and II
the present talk should develop into some
thing formidable it would be one of the
surprises.
1t is believed that the promoters of this
new league are anxious to get as many
players disgruntled with their present
berths just to get even for the calling of
of the all-star tour which was planned to
take place after the worlds series.
The dismissal of Sailing from the man
agement Of the Highlanders seems to
have been popular with the members OF
that team. Not only have the players
shown renewed dash and spirit since
Chase took charge. but they have played
brilliant ball at Detroit and seem deter
mined to finish in second place.
Incidentally 1t does not seem likely that
Owner Farrell is in search Of a manager
to take Chase's place. Bill Clymer has
been mentioned for the position, but II
the team finishes well as 1t threatens to
do Owner Farrell cannot afford to make
a change without endangering his team
future.
Chase is hardly to be blamed for the
trouble in the New York team. Stallings
was a marked man long before he had
occasion to complain Of Chase's conduct.

bucking seems to be more to his advan-
tage than the old. On one plunge yes
tertlay the foot ball burst under Eddie
Harris weight.
An encouraging feature of the practice
was the inability of the scrub to gain
around the varsity ends. The credit for
this is not due to the ends so much as
the tackles, whose wide plan of play en-
ables them to spoil the interference be-
fore it gets under way. Mccormick and
Ellsworth the varsity tackles. had several
opportunities to carry the ball and the
play resulted in the second score. Nc
Cormick is punting for the varsity. His
kicks are high. but as yet have not much
distance. Bard had good success at drop
kicking. when the varsity forwards gave
him time, but the scrub broke through
too many times to please the coaches.

Yale Goes Easy.

NEW HAVEN, September 3O-The Yale
foot ball squad yesterday afternoon had
light work after it's hard work with Wes-
leyan, hard not because Of the strength
of the opposing team, but because of the
fact that the Yale men have been in
training for such short time. The men
who played against Wesleyan showed no
ill-effects and in the short scrimmage the
varsity men showed up we'll.
Two touchdowns were made by the var
sity. One might be called constructive
as Bomester did not take the ball over,
but was called back on the 10-yard line
by the coaches. He had secured the ball
on tumble and started down toward the
line. When the coaches saw that he had
outstripped every one they called him
back. with the result that the touchdown
did not count. Later other backs were
put in and Potter finally took the ball
over for touchdown. There was no trial
to kick goal. Later Capt. Daily did some
drop kicking.
Head Coach Coy expressed himself as
being greatly pleased with the work Of
the members of the squad so far this
year. Concerning the game Wednesday
he said that it was good in spots. There
was a lot of fumbling, which later will
be overcome, he said. and the forward
passing at times was ragged. Phil Smith
joined the coaching squad yesterday. He
will stay with the squad until after the
Syracuse game.

Anderson went and purchased an axe

went to BarstoW and told him it was

Barstow promised that he would go
buy an axe himself and then the two
