PHILADELPHIA, Nov. II. The

Tom Hayden, president and owner
of the Burlington baseball club. has
asked the Keokuk association to name
O. price for Outfelders Relchle and
Hilly and Infielders Bresnahan anu
Pennington, according to an announce
ment from local baseball headquarters
Saturday.
Hayden is going to San Antonio,
Texas, to attend the annual meeting
of minor baseball leagues, and 1t is
understood here that the Burlington
magnate Is of the opinion he will have
an opportunity of peddling the men on
the baseball market during the big SEES
sion there. Keokuk has not set
price for various reasons, but Hayden
has been told to see what he can 90
in the way of placing Bresnahan and
Pennington.

ReichIa out of Deal.

The first player to be eliminated
from the deal is Ed Reichle, who was
recently drafted by Utica. New York.
The second is Outfielder Hilly, whom
the directors do not wish to dispose
of. They see a future for lilly and
believe he will bring big money at
TIL close of next season.
This brings up the possibility oil
losing Bresnahan and Pennington and
the probable result that will be &C.
casioned by the same. Bresnahan is
a clever ball player, who for some
reason or other has failed to ascend
the ladder as rapidly as was expected.
From what can be learned the direc-
tors will sell him, but a good price
must be obtained.

Ende Hold spracklina.

Yale's ends evidently had been
drilled to watch Spracbling and his
great running in the open. They were
down the field like fash and always
they devoted their attention to the
,diminutive quarterback, preventing
him from making the spectacular runs
that made him last years all American
quarterback. The Brown captain was
| literally smothered by the fast flying
Eli ends.
Most of Yales' scoring was done in
the first period with the blue varsity
players in the lineup
A Brown tumble gave Yale the ball
on Browns OF yard line, and Freeman
and Camp carried it to the six yard
line where Brown recovered it on a
tumble. Sprackling kicked to Browns

to the SO yard line from which Captain
Howe drop kicked a beautiful field

Pennington's Status.

The Pennington proportion is an
entirely different one. Pennington
would not be considered in sale had
it not been for the fact that he made
application for the berth as manager
of the Indians. For this reason the
directors point out that the field cap
tain of last year may be carrying dis
appointment in his heart that would
affect his work next season. At third
base last season Pennington was with
out an equal in the Central Associa-
ton.
Since the announcement last week
that twenty-six ball players had been
signed by Keokuk, two have been
added to the list. They are st. Louis
semi-pro players who are recommend
ed by Second Baseman Jansen. one
is B. G. Johnson, an outfielder, and the
other is William Pickel, twirlcr.
Directors Disappointed.
The I-eokuk directors were greatly
disappointed last week in the failure
of the salary limit increase to Sl25
per month for new men to car
ry. 1t is pointed out here that the
best results of the $1,000 salary limit
cannot be obtained under the present
restriction, which makes 1t illegal for
club to sign player other than one
on the reserve list for more than SlOo
per month Those players in the
league last year who were getting
only $500 We're exceptions and OFTEN
it is matter of extreme difficulty &c
pick good men up for that price. THIS

Bear Story unfounded.


Probably Thorpe would have not
played so we'll but for a sprained
ankle That's what was said before
the game-Thorpe had a bad ankle,
and could not be depended on to show
his best work; but with that bum
ankle Thorpe kicked a field goal with
in five minutes after the first whistle
blew, and from then on he scored
about every five minutes until every
body was tired and the officials stop
ped the game.
Thorpe's was one of the greatest in
dividual performances ever witnessed
on a football field. He tried for but
four field goals. at from IL to As
yards from the uprights, and each one
of the four tries counted three points
An incidental touchdown also helped
his general average. And while his
ten Indian teamates did not do any OF
the scoring they knew what Thorpe
could do and helped him do it. HIS
kicking as we'll as his running and
tackling were spectacular even when
he didn't score.
