DAVIS KEEPS
VERY QUIET

PHILADELPHIA, Oct 29.-Captain
Harry Davis refuses to affirm or deny
the report that he would manage the
st. Louis American league team for
the 1911 season.
The story that Davis would become
leader of the Browns next year eman-
ated from the Offices OF the ST. Louis
club yesterday. Since Jack O'Connor
was discharged from the position a
few weeks ago, there has been more
or less speculation as to who would
succeed him. and President Hedges, of
the Browns, is known to be in favor
OF making Davis manager of his team.
When Manager Mack was Ill last
spring, Davis acted as manager, and
the team went ahead, winning games
with Davis directing the game as II
Connie were on the bench
The new position would carry an in.
creased salary over what Davis re-
ceives from the Athletics. and In case
of turning out a winning team. or one
that finishes higher than last position,
an increase probably would come for
1912.

WHO CAN
DEFEAT THE
ATHLETICS?

The appended from Otto Floto, OF
the Denver Post, Is of interest. Floto
saw the worlds series games, and,
being off the big league circuit, his
views are not prejudieed. Floto says:
After watching the Athletics in the
worlds series just closed, II is hard
to figure any team in the American
league that will beat them out OF the
championship next year. Other teams
in that organization will probably
make them fight harder for the title
in 1911 than they were compelled to
fight this year. but, unless something
awful happens to their pitchers, can't
figure but that they will again be in
the fight for the worlds title next fall.
The Cubs will have to do wonderful
lot of strengthening II they are to
again be the opponents of Mack's men
for the first honors in baseball. There
are several members that must be
replaced. They have outlived their
usefulness as members of that team.
Age will not be denied, and. players
who are just being beat out by that
"one step" must realize that year
ago they were equal to the emeT-
gency and landed safely on a base
they fail TO reach when they try for
Il now.
The pitching STAFF OF the Cubs is
nothing TO be afraid of. The men are
through. They must be replaced by
younger men, who can carry the pace
from beginning to end OF the game.
This was best illustrated In the last
game, when Brown was as good as
he ever was In the first seven innings
then blew up" This was because he
tired. Would he have tired a few
years ago? Not much. His youth
would have enabled him to retain his
strength to the end OF the game
That's Mack's big asset. His team
just bristles with youth. With the ex-
ception of Davis and Hartsel. all his
players are young men, that can stand
the brunt of battle from start to fin
fish. Never was It more In evidence
tHt youth must be served than In
the worlds series just brought to a
close.

Another favorable phase of revis-
ed football Is the lessening Of injuries
A few years ago IL was frequent
happening that a man was manned
for life. In every game some fellow
was seriously disabled. | notice this
is not the case today"
Dr. Roller was a spectator at the
Harvard-Brown game last Saturday
He admired the open work of Brown,
but said Harvard played antique foot
ball
From a discussion OF football as
game, the doctor INDUCED in a little
retrospection on the individuals with
whom he was affiliated and whom
he worked against.
Pratt OF Brown was the greatest
quarterback that ever lived. In my
opinion" he continued. He only seal
ed at 155 pounds. but | have seen

up the feld for a touchdown. He ran
at an angle OF ten degrees. never

up speed: but he had 1t. This com
bined with a superhuman knowledge
of how to dodge and sidestep made
him a marvel at carrying the ball"
The doctor thought Draper Of
Northwestern was the best halfback
he ever saw. And he has followed
the game and played II professionally
for the last decade. Draper must
have been a wonder.

HAS BATTLE

NEW YORK. Oct. 29.-New York
was scheduled for It's only big football
game OF the season today In the clash
at the Polo grounds between Prince
ton and Dartmouth. Two special
trains brought in hundreds of Prince
ton students and sympathizers today
while 200 Of the New Hampshire
Aoys came down from Hanover TO
cheer on the great team that was ex-
pected to put a knot In the Tigers
tail
The following OF both teams expect
ed victory and each was willing to lay
even money, but neither would give
odds. The Dartmouth team averages
1872 pounds, TO 1T for Princeton. The
teams are about equal in the expert
enee of their men and the best that
the dopesters could make out OF the
contest was an even affair, with
neither side winning by more than a
touchdown.

TO
USE TRICKS

WEST POINT, N. Y, Oct. %
Harvard, looked upon as the most
probable winner of the eastern foot
ball championship this year, came to
the Plains today to try with the sol
diers. who, two weeks ago, outplayed
and defeated Yale. The Crimson
team arrived by boat from New York
and every man In the squad was con-
fident OF a decisive victory.
Owing to his wealth OF substitute
material Coach Haughton announced
that he would likely use large num-
Der of players this afternoon. Several
of the army men were not In the best
condition, and 1t was doubtful whether
they could go through the entire game.
Harvard has the advantage in
weight, but West Point was hopeful
OF offsettlng this by speed and trick
plays, In which the team has been
drilled all week.

HERRMANN'S

Inasmuch as the same folks own

blocked:
Fogel, in all likelihood, talked mat
tiers over with Garry Hermann, Man
ager Doom and Manager Griffith, tell
ing Doom anything he did would be
satisfactory. Then Doom and Grit
fifth got together, along with Herr
mann. all three being at the worlds
series games in Chicago.
The trade was announced. The Cubs
blew up and no doubt Charley Murphy,
head OF the Cubs, told Horace Fogel.
head of the Phillies, that the Cubs
wanted some of the Phillies involved.
All hands belonging to the same own
ers you can see how Fogel would
back up.
Then Fogel told Doom 1t was all off
and Doom, having been double-crossed,
got sore and threatened to quit Like
wise, Hermann, whose knowledge or
baseball law Is keen, stirred up row
and insisted that the deal go through.
Hermann is too wise an owl ever to
base a claim on the mere say-so of
the manager unless that manager had
been authorized to deal.
II Hermann can produce a witness
who heard Fogel tell Doom to go
ahead, the fine handmade scheme of
the syndicate owners will be knocked
higher than kite.
In the meantime, just pin your faith
on this: II Hermann says he has the
long end of 1t, Fogel, Murphy ct al
likely are due to awake and the deal
will happen as Doom said II would.
