Team From Providence Is After the
Blue Scalp.

From now on the work for the
Brown football team at Provideilce
will be shaped for the game with Yale
in New Haven on November 5, when
Brown hopes to have better luck than
in Cambridge last Saturday. In that
contest Brown showed more new foot
ball than any team has so far ex-
hibiteLs this season. When the Brun-
onians made their eighty eight yard
advance to Harvard's five yard line
they used such varied attacks that
the crimson clad warriors did not
know what next to expect.
The Boston newspapers character
lied the game as one of the fiercest
ever played on Soldiers field. The
sons of John Harvard had to go some
to keep the wearers of the brown and
white from crossing their goal line.
If Brown improves as much in the
next two weeks as it improved last
week, the Yale coaches Will have good
cause for worry.
Brown plays Tufts next Saturday,
and should have an easy time of it.

CONNIE MACK THE ONLY
REAL BENCH MANAGER
Stands Without a Rival in the Bio
Leagues.

Connie Mack is the only real bench
manager. strictly speaking, in either
of the major lea CUES. The leaders of
the new worlds champion Athletics
does not put on uniform so that he
can coach from the lines. He re-
and is seldom in the limelight.
George Stallings handled the High
landers in similar manner and pro-
duced excellent results, too. The sue
cess of the Athletics nullifies the ar
gument that team to win the cham
pionship must be handled by q So
called player manager, even though
he does not actually take part in the
games. In the American league Hal
Chase of the Higlanders was the only
players manager, for all the others
wore uniforms and were conspicuous
on the coaching lines.
In point of skill in developing play
erS in generalship and in the enforce
ment of discipline Mack stands with
out q superior. Ee has just finished
his 10th year as manager of the Ath-
letics, as he organized the team in
1901. That year he brought his play
ers in fourth. In 1902, in spite of the
fact that court decisions leprived him
of the services of Lajoie, Flick, Bern
hard and Fraser, Mack moulded a
great team from inferior talent and
won the American league pennant for
the first time. The Athletics finished
second III 1903, fifth in 1904 and won
another pennant in 1905. but We're
beaten in the worlds series by the
Giants, thanks to the wonderful pitch
ing of Chrjsty Mathewson In 1906

Mack developed q powerful baseball
machine that was generally regarded
as the winner of this years race.

No Comparison on Pitching.

In pitching there was no comparison
between the two teams, Bender and
Coombs being head and shoulders
above the entire Chicsyo staff. Coombs
was the man of the hour, beating the
cubs on each of the three occasions
tnat he faced them. His strength lay
in his effectiveness with men on the
bags. Twenty-four hi IS were made off
his delivery in the tsenty-seven in
nings which he pitched. and he gave
sixteen passes, which proved him to be
more generous than any other pitcher

pitched a brilliant game in the opening
contest of the series in Philadelphia,
but he was unable to repeat in Chi

YALE BEST TEAM
VANDERBILT EVER PLAYED
Captain Nicely Gives Fitzpatrick the

Captain Nicely of the Vanderbilt
football team. has sent north his ideas
about northern football and the game
last Saturday as follows to the Yale
Daily News:
yale is by far the best team that
Vanderbilt has ever played against.
Captain DAILY seems to be the best
ground gamer and is a very hard man
to stop. Philbin also did excellent
work. There seemed to be a lack of
team work and an inability to make
forward passes, but the work i'm
proved later in the game. Francis
was the best line man, and finally
broke UP our use of the delayed pass.
Fitzpatrick also was the best man I
have ever seen. | think that the d.
vision of the game into quarters by
the new rules is a great improvement,
