HARVARD LEADS
EASTERN Teams
CRIMSON HAS nv FAR BEST REC
ORD OF FOOTBALL TEAMS IN
THE EAST so FAR THIS
SEASON.

Boston, Mass Now 15.--The big
game OF the football season cones
next Saturday when Harvard meets
Yale at New Haven. If Harvard wins
the crimson will be the unquestloned
champions of the east If not of The
country. A Yale victory such as the
blue scored over Princeton would lead
to a mixed question as to which team
may properly claim the championship
honor.
At the present stage of the season
Harvard easily leads the eastern coll
leges Annapolis may be accorded Sec
ond place. Princeton third despite
Saturdays defeat by Yale, Pennsylva-
mia fourth, West Point fifth, Cornell
sixth, and Yale seventh.
The intersectional games of Satur-
day between Pennsylvania and Mich
igan and Cornell and Chicago offered
little or no basis for comparison be-
tween the east and west.
Saturdays games brought the most
notable injuries of n season practice
ally without them previously. Capt.
Monk Of the West Virginia team died
and Chatfield of the Harvard fresh
mon eleven, who was injured i'm the
game with Yale. is still in the hospi-
tai and may be suffering from concus-
sion of the brain.
The standing of the ten leading
eastern colleges with their scores by
games and point totals which have
figured largely i'm the reckoning may
be placed as follows

LITTLE HEBREW CHAMPION
SEEMS TO GO ON FOREVER

When IL comes time for some other
scribe to write a book Of the marvels
Of the prize ring theret one name
that he will not be able To overlook
and that Is the little Hebrew champion
Abe Attell. Under Abe's name will
have 10 be written. Champs may
come and champs may go, but l so on
forever"
Attell had his little roastings, his
little puffs and his losing battles, but
figuring A 10 u, he's one of the most
remarkable men that even pulled on a
glove.
He started when he was 16 years
birthday, 1884 in Frisco. and just as
soon as he was big enough 10 enter
a ring he did
He just eased along, winning here,

low, shading that fellow a bit, and fin
ally the promoters hunted for a boy
of his weight 10 beat him. There were
none. He took on lightweights, fought
the champion at that time (Nelson) a
hfteen-round draw, came 10 Philadel-
phia and fought Eddie Hanlon, then
TO New York, where he found them
softer, such as Tommy Murphy and the
like, who were considered near champs
in the 1S3-pound class.
He toured the country again, fight
ing both feather weights and light
weights, and still kept in the lead.
Now, every time we hear of his
starting we think he has a Joe TO box.
They all look soft for Abraham, and
yet he has been boxing for ten years.

He has been a topnotcher longer
than any other boxer I'm the ring today.
He has seen a champion in every class

title Of Americas best f22-pounder.

SOUTHPAWs IN DEMAND.
Managers Attach High Value To Serv-
ice Of Port Side Heavers.

Some managers more than others
attach a high value to lefthand pitch
ers. 1t is a hobby with some TO en-
gage all the lefthanders on whom they
can lay their hands. They believe
that the curve which is pitched by n
left hander is more potent than that
which is pitched by a highlander
1t is possible that such an opinion
places an exaggerated idea of strength
on the lefthander. II is not to be de-
MED that n good lcfthand pitcher is
a fine player for baseball team. A
good pitcher is a great asset for a
ball club, whether he be lefthander or
q Highlander, but IL is not on record
that in the long history of baseball
lefthanders have done more of their
share TO bring success to a club than
rjghthanders, unless the lefthander
happened to be above the ordinary,
just as some righthanders are above
the ordinary.
The principal value 81 a lefthand
pitcher to a baseball club is that the
manager of the club can see him TO
good avail against a team which has
faced righthand pitching on a preced-
ing day, and il is quite probable that
the variety and change in the APP
proach of the ball to the plate will
confuse certain batters.

II past performances count for any
thing be wonder when it comes to
pitching for the Philadelphia team.
Rowan has never lost a game on the
Philadelphia grounds since he entered
the big league, and this is looked upon
by ball players as an omen of good
luck for the Quaker team.
Jack has never lost a game in Phil
adelphia," said Tom Clarke. the Red
catcher, "and has always put up his
finest brand of twirling while there"
Baseball players figure out the dope
that Rowan will continue his winning
streak in the Quaker town, because he
has never lost game there and should
be full to the brim of genuine old
fashioned confidence
The Philadelphia team is jubliant
because they figure that i'm getting

BRoUTHERS A CRAZY BUG.
Fame of One Time Batting Star Fails
to Impress Younqster

W tftlRfCoo tObI9SNCis
Fame is surely ficetng especially II
it's baseball fame. Not so many years
ago Dan Brouthers was the batting
sensation of the country. His great
drives were the talk of the baseball
world. and many of his swatting feats
held prominent places i'm basebalrs
history. When Dan was a star he en-
joyed life and but little of his earnings
went into the bank. When he lost
his ability to hit, he had no position
that he could make good money at
and for time things broke none too
good for him. Recently he was placed
i'm charge Of the press stand at the
Polo grounds.
During the recent series between the
Giants and the Yanks, Brouthers sat
in the front of the press box and
watched the batting practice of the
Yankees. one Of the young players
had a bad fault at the plate. and the
old slugger was quick in detecting it.
AS the player walked to the bench
Brouthers called him over and told
him just how to remedy the fault. The
player paid little or no attention.
When he went to the bench he turned
to one of the veterans and pointing
toward Brouthers, said: "There is
crazy bug who tried TO tell me how To
bat"

EXPERIMENT WITH HOCKEY.

New York, Nov. ia special meet
ing of the executive committee of the
American Amateur Hockey league was
held recently to consider the PROPOSE
ton of an intercity hockey league 30
include the cities OF New York Bos-
ton, Chicago and Cleveland.
The question was gone into very
thoroughly. and the conference lasted
almost three hours. That New York is
ripe for such a league there is no
doubt, but 1t was agreed that the prop
oaition is somewhat doubtful in the
other cities. Local leagues have been
formed I'm each city, but the interest
has not yet attained the heisht which
would indicate success for intcscity
hockey in the proposed scale The vis-
iting delegates all reported that the
popularity of the sport was steadily in
creasing and each thought that every
thing would be right for an intercity
league.
1t was decided to make an actual
test of tho sentiment. in all four cities
during the present season by playing
a number of intcrcity games Bach

season 20 each OF the other cities

les will play visit to New York and
