President Taft
 Talks 1t Over With Gov. Harmon
Especial from United Press.)

Especial from United ?ress)
 Cincinnati, Nov. 7-President Taft, today, hobnobbed with Governor Jud- son Harmon, of Ohio, who may be the choice of the Democratic party to oppose the President in the cleo tion in 1912.
 After the President had wrestled with the involved machinery of the municipal election, had marked nine ballots and worked a voting machine in an effort to vote a straight Republican ticket he re- turned to his brothers home. There he received Governor Harmon and others, including Mrs. Cassatt.
 It took the President seven minutes to mark his many ballots and he did his voting under the fire of a battery of cameras and surrounded by big squad of newspapermen.
 A luncheon at the Manufacturers' club and an address to the tSociety of the Judicial Settlement of Information al Disputes and a dinner with the Commercial club will complete the Presidents stay in Cincinnati To- night, he will receive the returns of the municipal elections, one of the hottest political fights Cincinnati has ever seen.
 The betting, today, shifted against the Cox followers and the Democrats and their allies were confident of vic tory.

Joe Jeannelte to Fight Jim Flynn
Crack Heavy Weights Are Likely to Clash in Frisco
 Next Month

Joe Jeanette and Jim Flynn are likely to clash in a 20 round bout at James Coffroth's club in San Fran cisco some time in December. Ar engagements to that effect are now be- ing made by COffroth, Dan McKetrick and Flynn.
 The bout, if arranged, will be one of the best battles between heavy weights offered to the fight fans of the United States. Jeannette's recent "draw" with Sam Langford and Hymns victory over Carl Morris have placed them in, the front division of the heavyweight brigade. Langford has had offered him a 20 round bout with Jeanette, but the Tar Baby will have none of Jeannette over a long route. Flynn is therefore Jean nette's only logical opponent. If Jean nette wins over Flynn he will chal- lenge Jack Johnson for the champion ship. ft%

Yale'S Two Great
 Ends Pay Again
BOmeiSler and Gallauer Recover From Injuries and Will Go
 in Against Brown

It was the return of two of Yale's greatest players on the present team yesterday, that gave Yale followers the feeling that the Bulldog will leave the conflict with Brown, Satur- day, with the visitors holding the short end offthe score. Douglas Bonn eisler and Gallauer, considered by Shevlin starred for the Blues, lined up on the first team yesterday in secret practice. It was the first time that the two great players had been in the lineup together since the sec ond week of practice.
 They were never in good physical condition at the same time until yes- terday, during the present season. They played on the first team yester- day, which was largely made up of substitutes Bomeisler played right end while Gallauer played right tackle. It is almost sure now that Gallauer will play right tackle in the big games.
 Both of the big men were in the best of condition. This was evil denced by the fact that the slippery field would not have been used by the coaches to work the men on, only while they were in the best of physi- cal condition. Bomeisler showed ab- solutely no trace of his old injury and seems to have permanently recover ed.
 Loree, who played a good game at guard and poor game at center, Sat urday, played we'll at center yester- day and seems to have improved re- markedly. The most important shift yesterday involved Dunn, the man on the end. Dunn was put over at half back, the position which he played on the Freshman team last year.
 The only scoring yesterday was done by the Varsity, on a safety. CoOney blocked kick of the scrubs and forced the opposition of the first team to put the ball down to prevent a touchdown. Yale fans were enthu- siastic over the return to the field of Billy Howe and Andersen. Both of these men have been out of the game for the last two weeks or more with sprained ankles. They will be put in the lineup against Brown, if neces- sary. The players who were not at the field yesterday were Scully, Mer- ritt,. and Reilly. Scully is expected Wednesday. It is not known when the two other players will be able to appear again at the field. Shevlin, who is expected today will, it was announced last night, be placed in charge of the offensive work while Foster Sanford will have charge of the defensive work.
 Previous to the Harvard-PrincetOn game last Saturday, Capt. Arthur Howe had picked Princeton to win by score of 9-6. Head Coach Field of the Yale team had picked liar yard to win.

Iiaht and Sound Waves.

With reference to our ability to ten the direction from which sound pro- ceeds, attention may be called to an interesting difference between the eyez and the ears in relation to the size of the waves that strike them. The a7< craze wave length of light is abous one ten-thousandth of the diameter of the pupil of the eye. On the other hand. according to RayIeigh. the waves of sound proceeding from a masrs mouth are about eight feet fong. whereas the diameter of the passage of the ear is quite small and could nSt well shave been made large multiDle of eight feet. One consequence Of the minuteness of light waves in eomparf- son with the size of the eyes Is that the lenses of the eyes are able to con- centrate rays of light upon the retina with great efficfency.-Scientifc Amer ican.

NEWARK CLUB MAY BE
 SOLD TO BROOKLYN OWNER
Offer Said to Have Been Made Boss Ebbets of the
 Dodgers

Newark. Nov. 7-All negotiations for Eastern League by it's owners, H. Clay Smith and Joe McGinnity, to William A. McManus, real estate man of Newark, were declared off yesterday, when McManus said he was through, and that if Smith and NcGinnity want to sell they will have to find another willing to buy.
 McManuS said he had agreed to pay $65, 900 for the stock held by Smith and McGinnity, but Frank Redpath. McGinnity's brother-in-law, who con- trols the privileges of the park, re- fused to surrender his five-year agree ment on the concessions Both Smith and McGinnity, it is said tried to per- suade Redpath to cancel his contract, but Redpath refused.
 As McManus wanted to take over everything in connection with the club and the park he called the deal off rather than have Redpath continue to control the privileges after the club changed hands. <
 It is said the club still is for sale, Or Smith and McGinnity will be will ing to dispose of a one-third interest in the club, provided McGinnity re- mains as it's manager. If McManus had obtained control of the club Mo- Ginnity would have retired and Arthur Irwin, the scout of the Hfghlanders, would have been installed as manag- CT.
 McManus said he had his last con- ference with Smith iny New York on Sunday night and at that time he was informed that all efforts to get Redpath to cancel his contract had been futile.
 Smith left New York for his home in Chicago. Before starting West he had a conference with Charles H. Ebbets, president of the Brooklyn club, and 1t was said that Ebbets may become interested financially in the Newark club. It is thought that Smith offered to sell ohe-third interest in the club to Ebbets.
