TIGERS DUE TO WIN
Princeton and Yale to Hold
Center of Foot Ball Stage.
Bath ANNUAL AFFAIR
Dark Blue Has Not Lost to Orange
and Black in the Past
Six Years.
BY Edward B. Bushnell.

Princeton and Yale will hold the center
of the foot ball stage next week for their
thirty-fourth annual foot ball battle. Fol-
the first time in a good many years the
Tigers are favorites. On the showing vi
the two teams to date there is no doubt
that the Orange and Black has demon
strated more foot ball ability than the
Blue. But In spite Of this apparent ad-
vantage Of Princeton there are good
many critics who wager every year on
Yale for the simple reason that the Ellis
do the unexpected oftener than the
Tigers. Since 1876, when the first game
was played and won by Yale, the New
Haven men have won an average of
about three games in four. And OF late
years the proportion of Yale's victories
has increased.
1t used to be a sort of superstition on
the Princeton campus that no freshman
has ever graduated from Princeton
without having seen during his college
course at least one victory over Yale.
Princeton men grew to bank on this and
handed down the belief year after year.
The precedent was demolished in 1907.
when Yale won. by IL to 10. 1t Is true
that the year previous neither team won.
but 1907 was the fourth successive year
In which Princeton had not scored a
victory. This period has now been in
creased to six years, and if Yale should
win this fall the Tigers Will probably
never mention the precedent again. or
they will find a pew one. The complete
record of Yale-Pr1nceton games to date
Is as follows:

Tyrus a merry chase for the American

Bobby Wallace being spiked. The ST.
Louis veteran has tagged them all In ms
time. and l doubt IL he has many scars
to show as the result OF collisions with
stealers.
Archer Formidable Man.
Take the case OF some of our great
catchers-men who are noted for their
begging abilities. With these artists
backing up a crafty pitcher, equally
versed in the art OF bluffing a would-be
stealer. we seldom hear OF many thefts.
Both leagues are rich in bsckstops OF
this class.
Many stealers, taking advantage OF the
weakness OF an opposing pitcher, have
travelled midway TO second, or farther,
only to find the second baseman or Short
stop waiting there with the ball after
spearing a perfect throw from the catch
er. Jimmy Archers method of pegginG
while in a squatting position makes the
Cub catcher a formidable opponent for
stealers. From this attitude Archer Is
enabled to throw without wasting sec
ond's time.
The greatest danger in stealing is the
finish. Many players have wrecked their
whole careers by sliding wrong and
breaking a leg or an ankle. Still the
spikes, always at fault. must remain. for
without these "razors'' the player would
have a hard time getting up speed.

EDDIE COLLINS TELLS HOW
PLAYER SHOULD STEAL BASES
Worlds Champion Star Gives Reasons for
His Running Up So Big To-
tal-Start Means Much.

Base stealers, beware of Ed Walsh!
This bit OF advice, IL offered for the old
timers of the American League, is GER
tain. TO fall on deaf ears, writes Eddie
Collins, in the Chicago Record-Herald.
But the youngsters making their first APP
pearance against the White SoX star can
well afford to take tip. have made
close study of the pitchers and catchers
of all the clubs in our circuit, and to my
way of thinking Walsh Is the king OF
them all when it comes to freezing an
opponent to first base.
Too many base ball fans have the idea
that the catcher is the handspring OF the
battery-the player supposed to nip OF all
aspiring steaiers. TINS is true only in
part. Remember when Nick Aitrock was
in his prime? How many American
League speed merchants stole in games
with Nick on the sab? Not many, IL my
memory serves me right. Altrock had
baffiing delivery that kept the runners
almost glued to the bag. With Walsh IT
a case of perfected near-balk. and this
motion keeps the opposing player always
within few feet Of the sack.
Walsh Most Feared.
Now and then Walsh gets into trouble
by overstepping the bounds with this
movement. balk is the punishment,
but it's seldom YOU hear of the big fell
low committing this offense. In all my
experiences l have found the White Sox
pitcher the best man at this style OF
work. With Frank Smith it's just the
opposite. Smith has a delivery that car
ries him we'll toward the batter while
winding up, and once this motion is UNI
der way it's a simple matter for the
runner to jump of to a comfortable lead.
After taking this lead, if alone on
the path, 1 seldom watch the ball In
stead, I keep both eyes on the man at
second, who most likely will take the
throw to nip the stealer. This study.
exercised almost in the twinkling of
an eye, and coupled with the hook
slide, in most cases enables the runner
to reach second in safety.
In base stealing, as in any other line
Of work, the player who makes up his
mind to succeed in nine cases out of
ten has his wish gratified. Make up
your mind to get there regardless OF

REASONS FOR PARCELS POST
How The United States Gov.
eminent Could Make Better
Use Of Its System and
Change the Big Postal Deficit
Into Profit - Canada's Great
Surplus Cited as an Example.

Fourth.-If the government carried par
cells at even 1 cent a pound IT would get
the hundreds OF millions of packages sent
out by the great dry goods houses This
would probably reduce the average haul
to twenty miles or less.
Fifth.-The United States government is
already equipped with more than 10000
completely organized stations. These have
their managers and clerks, their rentals.
heat and light. their detective and legal
services already paid for. To handle par
cells would cost nothing additional in tens
of thousands of postofices except the
wagon haul in the locality,
Sixth.-Is 1t possible to conceive of any
business men taking part in operating
private express companies II the govern
ment were to make use of this farreach-
ing and costly machinery?
Seventh--The government is spending
more than 100000 annually on coun-
try delivery service which the postmaster
general reports as carrying only twenty
five pounds per trip per wagon Each OF
these wagons could carry from SEQ to 200
pounds per daily trip each way. AT 1
cent a pound this service. instead of be-
ing conducted at an almost total loss, as
now, would be clearing tens OF millions
The wagon that now carries only twenty
five pounds. loaded each way with 500
more pounds at 1 cent q pound, would
bring IN $40 q day additional.
Finally, at what price will experts agree
to move parcels twenty miles? No: let US
make the figure large enough ana say 500
miles. With offices and managers and
clerks all provided, what would 1t cost to
carry parcels this average distance and
then deliver them by carriers or in
wagons?
With all the facts and figures before
him any able business man who could
be put in possession of the vast ma
chinery of the postofice, with only its
proSent daf1cfanpV of S1S 000 0O0 TO
make up, would know how to fix
