MACK SELLS
HARTSEL AND
p. LIVINGSTON

Manager Mack yesterday let go two
of his veteran p~layers-Paddy Living :
ston and Topsy Hartsel. The announce
ment of the release of these two play
ers has been looked for ever since the
close of last season. Livingston goes
to Cleveland with Harry Davis and
Hartsel drops back to the minors.
"Topsy' will play with Toledo next
season, and if the club does not ecure
Stova1l as manager, Hartsel may get
this berth. although at the present time
it looks as though he would go to To-
ledo only as n player.
The release of Livingston means thai
Mack will retain Ben Esan, IF Balti-
more, as understudy to Thomas ana
Lapp. But Mack will sign another
catcher before the team leaves for San
Antonio for spring training. Living
ston Joined the Athletics in 1909, when
Mack tool him out of a ditch in Indi-
annapolis. Paddy preferred working
with a pick and shovel rather than
accept a cut in salary from Indianap-
oils, and It was a very easy matter for
Mack to buy his release.

CAMP IS In
FAVOR OF
FOUR DOWNS
This Regulation Within the Is
Yard Zone Considered
One Solution.
BY WALTER CAMP.

The season of 1911 was one of
miracles. Favorites lost; nor was there
consistency in these upsets. Principal
contests We're lost by tumble or f1uke.
The forward pass was no more
prominent than of old. 1t was not pro-
ductive of spectacular plays. This
onside kick was a matter of luck.
The season will cause discussion of
the rules and four. instead of three,
downs within the 25-yard line will be
advocated.
Carlisle took big chances OF attack,
while Princeton took no chances. Car
isle scored IS points against Harvard,
while Harvard scored Is. Princeton
didn't score first down on Yale. but
won. s to 3. The last day. when
Trinity tied Brown, Nebraska tied
Michigan, Missouri tied Kansas, Har-
ward tied Yale and Navy beat Army
with a field goal, convinced many four
downs are necessary to prove
superiority.
Considering the All-American team
I came to my conclusions because OF
these facts.
Ends-White ran two-thirds of the
field AGAINST Yale and Harvard FOX
touchdowns and forced Harvard to Il
safety. He took the field splendidly On
kicks and was deft in picking up Il
loose ball, valuable qualities in an end.
Bomeisler-Powerful. thick-set and
fast, he was a terror to opponents.
Tackles-Big, powerful. aggressive,
fast, with a good eye for the ban,
Harris individual work was responsible
for much of the Princeton defense.
Devore-Played consistently. He Is
quick for a big man and has football
sense, is strong in breaking UP the line
and in interference.
Guards-Fisher continued the work
that made him an All-American guard
last year. Powerful at Interference ana
in attack. he is well-built and agrees
sive.
Duff was a Princeton mainstay. As-
gressive. but not too eager, he located
the ball with precision. He broke
through quickly.
Centre-Ketchum was the most reli-
able centre, with splendid ability 10
pass and protect his backs and most
active in mountaineering. He resov-
cred blocked kicks and fumbles TN
cannily.
Quarter-Howe never failed in the big
game. on a slippery field he showed
best. His fumbles in the Princeton
game were on low punts, which he tried
desperately t o catch. 1t was good, not
bad. football.
Backs-Thorpe was one Of the most
dangerous men in the back fields this
year. A good runner on straight ana
wide runs or when circling ends, a
splendid kicker and powerful in tttAck.
EIe was equally good IN defensa.
Wendell. not as SNOWY as last year,
was the hardest %plunging half of the
year. Not overcast, he was 'Iard TO
stop.
Dalton is a powerful plunger, reli-
able in every respect and could spell
With Howe as a kicker.

Van HOuwaert Likes the Latter,
but BrOcco and GeOrget Like
Other Variety.

A discussion arose yesterday between
some of the foreign six-dsy bicycle
riders. whether 1t was better to train
for a big six-day race indoors or out
doors. There was a spirited debate for
a time. the men taking sides. Some of
them declared that it was better TO
train indoors for an indoor event, but
they were finally overwhelmed with
arguments. Van Houwaert started the
argument just to pass the time away,
and when it was all over admitted
that he would rather train in the clear
outdoor ozone than within doors.
'If you were training to ride in
Africa you would not go to Greenland,
would you?" asked Brocco.
"That's entirely out of the question. i"
came back Lapize. 1.-THE idea of out
door training is to build up as much
as possible for the wear and tear of a
six-day grind
81 believe in getting a~cclinated and
working indoors" insisted Georget,
ignoring Brocco's argument, and y
there was a good indoor track here I
would be on it always, instead of train
ing at the Velodrome, as We will have

veart. .if ! come over ! shall insist

The first mishap of the six-day race
has already occurred, even though the
annual classic of the bike world is not
vet under way. The team of Ernest
Jokus and Martin Ryan is out of the
race, due to an accident to Jokus. He
was training yesterday afternoon on
the home trainers at the National urn
Verein, when his chain snapped in
twain and he went down. A sprained
ankle and from which most of the
bark has been peeled; a bad shaking
up, and a notice from his physician
that there will be no Jokus in the six
day race, are the net results of the
little mishap.
Martin and Jokus were TO have been
the Newark team, and expected to
make a good showing after their recent
clever performance in the Buffalo race.
Three important moves we're made

NEW RULES LESSEN
FOOTBALL INJURIES

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Dec. Train
ers Donovan, of Harvard; Fitzpatrick,
of Princeton, inc Mack, of Yale, were
asked by the Yale News if the new
football rules have lessened the injuries
to players. Their replies were:
Donovan said: The extent of the
injuries were not as great as in former
years. ] think that the game as played
today has cut the core serious injuries
to a very great extent"
Fitzpatrick said: There is no ques-
ton in my mind but that there are
fewer injuries in the game as it is
played today than under the bic rules"
Mack said: LAS long as there is foot
ball there will be small injuries. In
my estimation the new style of game
as played by the college teams offers
less chance of injury than the old
style"

SAID TO
Be GOAT OF
TICKET PROBE
Appointment OF Joseph D.
0'Brien in His Place
Significant.

That William w. Gray, secretary OF
the New York National League club,
viii be made the goat in the ticket
scandal in connection with the worlds
series, is the opinion held by many
men well versed on the baseball situa-
ton in New York. Gray's retirement
in a short time in favor Of Joseph D.
O'Prien, formerly president of the
American Association, was promul-
gated by President John r. Brush'yes-
terday.
O'Brien, it is explained, has had a
better training in baseball politics and
can represent the club better than
Gray. Brush's i'll health compels him
10 rely to an unusual extent upon his
secretary, and John Whalen, treasurer
of the club, will. with O'Brien, repre-
sent the New York club at the coming
National League conclaye.
The ticket scandal so far as the
public is concerned will probably never
be Known. Brush will make every eff
fort to keep the matter silent. and Ban
Johnson will probably be satisfied, and
the other parties concerned appeased
by his stragetic move. Gray was once
interested In the business end of
theatricals and may go back to his
old job managing some road company.

LOUDEN HAS
GOOD CHANCE
WITH DETROIT
Waivers Have Been Asked on
George MOriarity, Tigers
Last Third=Sacker.

The outlook for Bill Louden at De-
troit is decidedly rosy, for Detroit has
asked waivers on George Moriarity,
who captained the Tigers last year,
and that means thai third base is
Bills. His local friends are sure that
will make good. Moriarity met with
an injury last year in sliding TO third
base thai will impair his ability as a
player permanently. 1t happened in
New York. too. where a number Of
athletes meet with accidents at the
hot corner. Third base al the Yank's
grounds seems to be a hoodoo.
Louden is a better third sacker than
a shortstop. and with Ownie Bush be-
side him the Jenningsites will have a
left wing in their infield.

NEWARK GETS
HAN
SALE STALLION
Stands Is Hands 2 Inches High
and Is "GOOd-G GATED"
Tr0tter.
BY WALTER E. ERLER.

The bay colt Dana Watts, purchased
at the recent "Old Glory sale by
George Stergel, of this city. was one
of the most finely bred ~2-year-old stall
lions in the entire catalogue. He is an
excellent colt for his age, and should
develop into a magnificent stock horse.
AT this time he stands about fifteen
hands two inches tall. is beautifully
developed and is gated as a good
trotter should be. Early in the past
season this colt was placed in the
stable of Harry S%tinson. but was taken
down with distemper n was allowed
to run out until September.
At that time he was taken up and
drilled ONE over a half-mile track,
and learned to trot a quarter in 35
seconde. He is entered in all the
futurities, and, should he show a dis
position to go next season Mr.. Stengel
will doubtless try to get him ready
for the stakes to which he is eligible.
While this colt came to the sale with
the consignment of General c. G..
Watts, owner of his sire, he was not
bred by the general and was moi his
property. Dana Watts was bred by
Dana e. knight at Charleston, W. Va,
anu Was SlIeu ny VIC OIlS-llhiC ~
old stallion General Watts go, 2:06%.
His dam is Bessie Kenney ca, 2:24N.
who is a half-sister to the fast bay
mare Cereal, 2:121a. owned by Tom
Hoy, Of this city. Bessie Kenney is
also the dam of Tuscawillow, who, as
a 3-year-old, trotted TO a record of
2:29A. His second dam. Byzantine, is
the dam of four, including Cereal,
2:12A, and Bow So aston, 2:11h. She
is an own sister to Dalmarch, 2:111z,
and Elbrino. 2:07%. His third dam is
Ella c., a daughter of George Wilkes,
and she is the dam of five standard
performers. It will be seen that Dana
Watts has a race horse inheritance
second to none, and. coming as 1t does
from the most fashionable strains in
the trotting register. there is every
reason to believe that he will make a
race-horse and when his racing days
are oVer a great sire.
