CONNIE MACK DOESN'T
 FAVOR 112 GAME SCHEDULE

Not only most of the magnates but many of the managers a.s we'll are opposed to Garry Herrmann's scheme to cut the league schedules down to 112 games and finish the season with each club making a swing around the circuit of the rival league. Connie Mack. when the proposition was put up to him, said:
 any such proposition as that made by MT. Hermann. I cannot See where it. would be practicable. As I understand it each club would play series of three games on the grounds of every other club, which would to the d12-game schedule.
 ''If, on the top of all that the three leading clubs from each league should play a series similar to the worlds series the sport would be dragged along until later than under present conditions and I don't believe these games would draw except for the best clubs.
 ''It would be great thing for the Athletics next year, as we would be playing against such teams as the Cubs, Giants, Phillies, Pirates and Reds. But I do not think the weaker clubs would gain anything from the novelty. What would a series be- tween the Boston Rustlers and St. Louis Browns amount to from a box OIIlcG SCdnQpOlQI!
 Besides, three-game series would be too short to prove anything. as a weak club would naturally save its star pitchers for the stronger clubs and possibly make a great showing don't think Herrmanns idea will ever be worked out"
 Mack's statement may be taken as indicating the Philadelphia American league clubs view of the matter. Mack holds a quarter interest in the Athletics and always has been con- suited by the Shibes in all matters affecting the club in any way.
 Incidentally, Mack is counting up- on grabbing off another American league pennant next season, but inti- mates that his lineup may be chang ed just a little bit. The infield, un- less one of the Big Four' meets with a disabling injury or succumbs to ill., ness, will be the same as this year: but it is possible that either Lord or Oldring will do bench duty while field.
 Maggert, a California outfielder. formerly with Springfield comes East next spring with such a reputation that there is more than an outside change that he will succeed Lord or Oldring. Mack has seen him work. and, for all he has said to the con trary, believes the youngster is about ready to blossom out as a regular big leaguer.
 It is almost certain that the pitch ing staff will be reorganized: Bender Coombs, Plank and Morgan are counted on to do the heavy work. but one or more of the second-strine 2

Georgetown Eleven Will be Given Game With Quakers
 in 1912

Philadelphia, Dec. 2.-Georgetown University has requested the Univer- sity of Pennsylvania for a football date in 1912, the game to be staged at Washington, D. c. 1t seems more than probable that Georgetown will be given a game as Penn wishes to strengthen it's schedule and the Wash ington college looks like a good pros pect.
 It is almost certain that Roy Mer- cer, the star fullback, again will be elected captain of Penn as Leon Jour- det, his only competitor for the cap taincy. has withdrawn in favor of Mercer.

REVISING REVISED FOOTBALL.
(New Haven Union ]

All in favor signify in the usual manner. Carried unanimously!:i What? The motion that the revised football rules be revised again. Like the tariff tinkerers, the football ex- perts do not exactly agree on the kind of revision that ought to prevail; but there seems to be very general agreement that the number of yards which the offense are now forced to gain should either be revised down. ward or that the schedule of plays in which the offense is permitted to make this distance should be revised upwards.
 Before the new revision of the re- vised football takes place might we suggest, after the most approved tar if tink ering plans of President Taft, that really expert commission be ap- pointed to collect expert data on this whole mooted matter and report back to the rules committee?

Hartford May Secure

Connery Dickering for For mer Holyoke Player Now
 in American Association

Louisville, Ky, Dec. 2-The Hart ford Baseball Club of the Connecticut League is dickering with the Louis- vile club for the purchase of Baker. who played for Holyoke in that league for several seasons. He was used in the outfield by Louisville last season and made good. Jack Tighe is man. aging the club and as he does not fancy Baker particularly, it is expect ed that he will agree GO sell the play CT to the Hartford club. It is re- ported that Tighe is agreeable to the sale and the deal will probably soon go through. If Hartford buys Baker, he will probably be played in the out field as he is regarded here as a bet ter outfielder than a second base

FEATHEREp HATS FOR MEN.
Harem Skirts Not Only Sensation in
Cities Nowadays.

The apex of sartorial folly, as the
more staid and orthodox dressers have
termed the latest innovation in mascu-
line wearing apparel, has made its ap-
pearance in New York and Chicago
and other large cities. The fad re-
ferred to is the wearing of plumes in
the hat-supposedly an inalienable fe-
minnie prerogative. According to
newspaper reports from Cleveland, the
feathered hat has eclipsed the harem
skirt as a sensation I'm that city. One
man there precipitated a riot recently
by wearing one of the plumed head
gear creations. II was a delicate
green fuzzy wuzzy" moleslSin affair,
with a dainty cockade. comprising two
tail feathers colored to match. News
boys and other rude persons followed
this martyr to fashions caprice for
several blocks.
Milliners for men report that the
popularity of the new hat is spreading
and predict that 1t will not be long
before il Is commonly worn. The
Tyrolean effect, just described, is quite
the mildest of the new styles. There
are just as lovely effects in crushers,
derbies, stiff brimmed straws and
pancake hats in any color. decorated
with plumage according to individual
taste. Pelican tips, pluckings from
lpeacocks, canaries, fiamingoes, birds
of paradise, cockatoos. night hawks and
even owl feathers are employed in the
CONSTRUCTION of the lids. Osprey tips
are the proper thing for evening wear
on silk tiles, while willow plumes are
permissible on opera hats.
