(By Wagner.)

The Princeton Tiger clawed the hide from the Yale bulldog Saturday and the football world is still talking about it. The score of 6 to is fair indi- cation of the respective merits of the teams. Hurry Up Yost, the famous Michigan coach, says a modern foot ball team can get by with good punter and two good ends. All the team has to do is to keep kicking and wait for the other side to tumble.
 That was Princeton's plan Satur- day. The Tigers did not make a first down in the whole game. In fact they showed only about three plays in the entire contest. A skin tackle play, Quarterback Pendleton on center play through center and a fake kick with Dewitt taking the ball were about all they displayed. It was gen. orally case of making one attempt to hit the Yale line, gaining yard Or two and then bunting on the sec ond down. Dewitt proved a great kicker.
 Considering the heavy ball his punts covered good distance and he got them off we'll The Tiger star stood so far back from the line that the Yale 1inemen didn't have much chance to get at him.
 luc HSuTSS SIlOW ludl ldiS SoiiiCu 134 yards to 30 for the Tigers and that the Ellis gained eight first downs to none for Princeton. But considering the conditions under which the battle was fought these figures mean noth- ing. In modern football ground gain- ed between the two 25 yard lines does not count for much. The rub comes when the ball is worked inside the 25 yard mark. Then 1t is very hard to make the required ten yards.
 Saturdays battle was largely a kicking duel and much depended upon the handling of the slippery ball. Princeton was greatly superior in this all important department and thereby made nine fumbles to two by Prince ton.
 Tn the last period the Tigers sim ply stalled for time. All they had to do was to keep Yale from making a long run or getting field goal. When Quarterback Pendleton of the Tigers learned there was but two minutes to play he showed his generalship by running with the ball himself in order to guard against a tumble in passing .the ball. On his last attempt he was smeared for an awful loss but he did not care. All he wanted to do was to play safe.
 In the last period Yale's handling said that Capt. Howe made five fum- bles during the game. Any chance the Ellis might have had vanished when the backs repeatedly muffed punts only to have the Princeton ends recover the ball.. thereby gaining from 30 to 40 yards for the Tigers.
 On the other hand, the Princeton

BIG LEAGUE GOSSIP

Another of Connie Mack's valuable aides may become a manager. Topsy Hartsel has about reached the tether of his big league usefulness as a play. CT, and Mack is bending every effort to place Hartsel in managerial ca pacity. Toledo is being talked of as Hartselss landing place.
 George Stovall is destined to wind up his career on the diamond as a manager. His excellent dictatorship of the C1eve-and team after Jim Nc Guire's resignation has led many to believe that he would be a success full leader. The only big league job open at present is that at St. Louis in the American League. Hedges IS seriously considering Stovall as an eligible.
 It must have been quaint sight to witness Charles Ebbets, Charles s'Talkative'' Murphy and Horace Fo- gel-three of the most loquacious lit tie magnates in the big leagues-play- ing baseball at San Antonio, Satur- day. As these three are always talk ing about how the game should be played, it would be interesting to see just how they would put their knowl- edge to practical use.
 The three-year contract which Ty Cobb holds with the Detroit club ex- pires next season. The agreement calls for ss,oOO per annum. About this time next year we may hear of the demon siugger threatening to abandon baseball unless he is permitted to name his own figures.
 Miller Huggins is spoken of as the most probable leader of the Cincinnati Reds in 1912. Huggins has been men, tioned so often that the little second sacker already is beginning to believe that he is the manager. Huggins has the backing of several influential Cin- cinnati men high up in the affairs of the club.
 James Callahan, the newly appoint ed manager of the Chicago White Sox, is aiming high since being installed in bis new position When Jimmy Mo Aleer, the new part owner of the Bos- ton Red Sox, was in Chicago, Calla- han cornered the former Senator lead CT. Trading of Sox players was the subject, and Callahan nonchalantly asked for Iris Speaker. McAleer did not collapse. but just as coolly replied that the Chicago club could have in return. Callahan said that Comis- key was willing to sell anything but his plant and this same Ed Walsh.
 Ban Johnson, president of the Amer ican League. has slipped one over on Chubby Charley Murphy, and. quite naturally, the Cub owner is sore. Frank Huff. considered one of the best scouts in the country, and who has been acting in that capacity for the Cubs for many years, is now associat- ed with the American League and will rustic talent for the younger organiza- tiOn.
 Not satisfied with disposing of three of his younger pitchers, Roger Bresna- han of St. Louis is anxious to get rid of at least seven more recruits. Bres- nahan expects to use almost the iden- tical lineup as last year, and has lit- tie need for untried men.
 President Hedges, of sthe St. Louis Browns, yesterday announced the pur- chase of First Baseman Tennant, of the San Francisco team. The price was not mentioned. Tennant is con- sidered one of the best men the Class A leagues have turned out during the 1911 season.

ThunderboIts in
 Tie Al New Haven
Local Eleven Has no Score Engagement With Elm City
 Team Yesterday
(New Haven Journal-Courier.)


 On a. water soaked and mud cov- cred field, the All-New Havens and Thunderbolts of Bridgeport battled forty minutes at Forbes gridiron yes terday afternoon without either eleven being able to score. Neither team could play it's game with any degree of certainty owing to the con dition of the field.
 The local boys had the harder punch to deliver between the two 25- yard lines, but the ThunderboltS eX- posed many original fake plays, kicks and passes, and these did more than anything else, except the following of the ball, to keep O'Connells men always hopeful and the visitors anx- ious lest some sudden shift of fortune should wait the game away. One play by the local aggregation stood out among all the others of the day. It happened in the first period when Marty Donehue made beautiful for ward pass to Kelleher, the play netting 25 yards. There was great joy in the All-NeW Haven'S camp at this repulse and the Thunderbolt men felt that their old hoodoo was at work. But in @ twinkling of an eye, every thing changed. The Thunderbolts had several chances to score during the latter part of the game, but luck and vicious playing by the New Haveners prevented. Under a clear ohy CiiC tCcillS SlIuSSleO GVcIlly dt times, but one close play nearly turned the result of the battle. The latter part of the third period found Casey kicking from the All-New Ha- ven's forty-yard line in back of the latter'S upr1ghts. Donehue recover ed the ball, and had run the ball i've yards when the Thunderbolts pushed him back. 1t looked like a safety, but Referee Hull ruled that the ball was down, while Donehue was on the i've yard line. At this juncture time was up.
