Chase didn't seem to be in the mood
to play yesterday, although he practiced
with the team. He sent Vaughn in to
pitch, and yanked him out the moment
that Washington made run. Caldwell
was put in to replace him. Caldwell
pitched to three batters, and was taken
out to let Hughes work. Hughes gave q
base on balls to the first batter, filling the
bases, and then Cunningham hit the ball
for three bases and made the game safe
for Washington beyond any question

Special DISPATCH to The Star.

Special Dspatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, October 4.-"People
have wrong idea what this
man Fletcher is trying to do in base
ball." said Jim McAleer. as he chatted
before the game yesterday. HE is not
signing players to contracts. he Is
merely signing them to options on con-
tracts. If he gets enough options ne
will probably go to some capitalist or
and say: For so much money l can
guarantee you certain. players with whom
to form a new base ball league. If you
are willing to produce the cash we can
do business. No cash, nothing doing
in other words there is no new league In
sight, but a promoter who is willing to
be literally recompensed for putting to-
gether a new league providing that he
cane get anybody to help him out. BY
the terms of the contracts or the options
which are offered to the players they
have nothing to gain except the pay
ment of possible bonus. They can be
dropped with a ten-day notice. exactly
as is done under the present base ball
contract, and they have no immediate
guarantee that they can retain all or
any part of the morfey which they may
be promised. Fletcher simply wishes
them to make the league for him and
then he will do the best he can toward
securing immediate reward while the fu-
ture must take care of itself. If the
players or any part Of them should join
such an organization and 1t should rail
within week, or within month. or within
half year. they would be absolutely at
the mercy Of organized base ball, and
any bonus which they might receive
would yecompense them but poorly for
what they would actually lose. McAlser
doesn't take much stock in an organiZa-
ton which intends to try to- operate on
such a basis. You can't tell what men

There is no doubt that local fans would

draw large crowd.
1t is very evident that the switch from
Stalings to Chase is not popular with
the New York scribes. Chase is being

a success. 1t must be dawnng on Owner
Farrell that he acted rather hastily in
the Stallines case. Furthermore. Farrell
in his first statement, regarding the Chase
Stallintgs miX-up. stated that If he found
Chase guilty he would take him before
the commission. and if Stallings' charges
were found untrue he would deal with the
manager as he saw fit. 1t was given out
that StallingS' charges were not substan-
tiated, and yet all that was done was to
pay him off for the balance of the season
ard appoint Chase in his stead. If
Stallings madciously charged Chase with

That the series between the two New
York teams will prevent a lot of Gotham
fans from jumping to Philadelphia to
witness the worlds series goes without
saying. The clash between the High

portant series of games ever played in
New York. and it would not be surpris-
ing If attendance records were broken
during those games.
The Highlanders. who for a time ap-
paared to be going at a clip that would
prove them most troublesome to Nc

the Giants are going along at their best

LIGHT WORK FOR YALE MEN

PRINCETON, n. j., October 4.-The
Princeton varsity foot ball team was
lucky to defeat the scrub yesterday af-
ternoon the practice ending with the
first team in the lead by the smallest
possible margin of one point. The Of
fensive work of the first string of backs
lacked it's usual strength, and, except for
several sensational lodging runs by Pen
dleton and q cleverly manipulated for
ward pass. Pendleton to Bredemus. the
varsity could make little Roadway
against the second eleven. On the other
hand, the scrub could not gain consist
emily against the varsity, whose defense
was strong.
Dunlop, who generally manages to be
Johnny on the spot" when a tumble or
blocked kick occurs. snatched up the ball
on a tumble by a varsity player. and
with clear field before him ran 20 yards
for a touchdown. Sawyer failed to kick
the goal, and SO gave the varsity
chance to win.
The first teams touchdown came as a
result of a forward pass from Pendleton
to Bredemus which was beautifully exc
cuted, the play netting 80 yards.
Sparks was busy with his work ana
was unable to report. Bard took his
place and. although light man, ne Is
quick and played a creditable game
Perhaps the comparatively poor snow
ing Of the varsity was due to the usual
blue Monday practice, and the team IS
expected to draw up better before the
Villa Nova game tomorrow.
Brown, one of the most promising can
didates for end, was declared ineligible
by, the faculty. and so Roper mas peen
set back once more in his quest for
running mate to Bredemus, who Is play
ing a splendid game. Riggs, who has
been at tackle on the scrub for the last
two years. is showing up remarkably
well this fall. and will undoubtedly make
the first squad this year.
