It has already been shown that there

stop game between two American
League clubs if such a contest were adver-

of fans who would more than welcome
some such diversion.
The cry goes up. Why not play Sun

Surely there would be no harm in such
a project, and think Of the good 1t would
do?
Many broad-minded ciergymen have

M'QUILLAN AND OTHERS,

/. CINCINNATI, o., Oct. 2S.-President
August Hermann, of the Cincinnati
baseball club, was interested last night
when he was informed that President
Horace Fogel, of the Philadelphia Ma
tional Club, had asked President
Lynch, of the National League. TO
warn Mr.. Hermann not to "tamper'
with the Philadelphia players. Mr..
Hermann said:
IF Fogel is trying to scare anyone he
is likely to be surprised shortly, mas
much as l have ordered my stenogrd-
piers to ascertain the addresses of
Grant, McQuillen. Moren and Bates,
and as soon as ! have them ! will open
up negotiations with a view to signing
them for the season Of 1911. They be-
long 10 the Cincinnati club. and | have
no doubt whatever that they will PLAY
with us next season."
When asked what action was likely
to result in case Fogel made the fight
he promises, President Hermann said.
II see that some mention of the ma
tional commission has been made. The
national commission has nothing to do
with this question. I can't see how il
could have, but | do not anticipate any
fight when the real facts are known.

to talk about a meeting on the grid
IRON of the two football teams in 1911
and subsequent years. Coach Roper

of any such meeting, and nobody could
be found who knew anything about 1t.
There Is a desire on the part of the
student body to play Harvard, how
ever. and If Harvard makes any over
lures Princeton will AVE to listen with
an attentive ear.
The two teams have not met since
1896, when Princeton won by a score OF
IL to O.. Princeton's wins since the
teams have been playing total mir and
Harvard's four. For the last -four
years or longer there has been talk OF
a game between the two institutions.
nut nothing has come of it. Both
teams have as many big games IN their
schedule as they car we'll stand The
only way out of the difficulty would be
for both to drop Dartmouth.
