RYAN WILL
RESORT TO
The COURTS
If Eastern League Directors Up
hold His Dismissal, Jack
Will Take Such Action.

NEW YORK. Dec. 1.-THE annual
session of the Eastern League today
is preceded by a meeting of the board
Of directors. one of the most i'm
portant questions before the directors
is the appeal of Manager Jack Ryan,
of the Jersey City Club. who was for
mally expelled by James j. Lillis,
president and secretary of the club.
Lillis charges that Ryan, in a game
last spring, assaulted Umpire Doyle by
stepping on his foot and blaming 1t on
Catcher Tonneman, who was fined $50
for it. Ryan declares that If the base
ball magnates decide against him he
will take his case to the Supreme Court
OF New Jersey.
Comparatively little business con-
fronted the rulers Of the Eastern
League outside of the election of
officers and the adoption Of the sched-
ule. Apparently there was no oppo-
sition TO the reelection of President
Edward Barrow. 1t was said that no
club would be dropped from the league
and there was considerable question
as to the probability of the members
ratifying a proposition to change the
mann of the organization 10 the In
ternational League.

CAMBRIDGE, Dec. 11.-At this time
last. year the Harvard outlook was
much brighter than it turned out to be
at the beginning of the present season,
as valuable men were lost through
poor standing and several men were
ipcspacitated by severe injuries. Men
like Dick Lewis, Dodo Minot, Rogers,
Wigglesworth and Gardiner were eX-
pected to be on the team which faced
Yale this year, but the fortunes of
war did not favor Coach Haughton
and he was forced to build up his
team from green men.
The men available for next years
team will all have the advantage of
being coached in the Haughton style
during their college career, an ad-
vantage which this years team had
and which showed the result in a
season full of misfortune n trials,
such as no varsity team has under
gone in recent years, in addition to
having the hardest schedule a crimson
team has had for some years. The
last five games all were with teams
which were of championship caliber.
In the line Hitchcock, Storer II

VEAN GREGG, QEVELAND,S MIGHTY
SOUTHPAW AWAY BETTER THAN TEAM
Nap Twirler Pitched Near.
ly $50 Points Better
Than Team Players.

Cleveland was both lucky and I'M
lucky this year as to pitchers. Eddie
Joss was lost through his untimely
death. The Maps were lucky, never
theless. What would they have done
if it were not for Nean Gregg? The
clever southpaw won twenty-three
games and dropped only seven. Vesn
was responsible for almost a third OF
the victories won by Cleveland.
- Now. according to the old way Of
doping out the pitchers averages
Gregg had a mark of 1857. Christy
Mathewson. however, has Il new
scheme. He says that a pitchers aver
age should not be reckoned on the per-
centage of his own games that lie won,
but on the percentage of the victories
his team Won. The Cleveland Club won
eighty games and Gregg was %recponsi-
BILE for twenty-three of those victories.
Therefore, he won 20 per cent. of his
teams games. Reckoned out in three
figures. Gregg would hav a mark OF
.2SS. according to Matty's method.
The records show that Gregg was
knocked off the mound only once, and
of his seven defeats three were lost by
scores of 10. According TO the old way
Chief Bender, who won seventeen
games and lost five for the Athletics,
was the leading pitcher of the league,
but the question is: Could Bender have
equalkd Gregg's RECORD with a team of
the Maps calibre behind him, instead
of the worlds champion Athletics?
Bender. according to Matty's way,
would have a mark of .227. So Gregg
was really the premier pitcher of the
American League.
Msthewson's record shows that
Gregg was .944 better than his club
He arrives at this conclusion by sub
tracing the Cleveland's~Club's per.
centage from Gregg's average. Gregg's
mark was .7s7. Minus .525, the clubs
record, 1t shows the above condition.
It was Gregg's work, therefore, that
put the Maps into third place at the
finish OF the season.

HARVARDS FOOTBALL PROSPECTS
VERY BRIGHT FOR NEXT SEASON

ball all season, and with a year I'M
der Haughton should become good men.
Keyes should develop into a good man,
as he has all the physical qualifica-
tons for the position.
The centre position should be we'll
taken care of by Parmenter, who
played a great game against Yale.
Frank Wigglesworth, a brother to
date for the position.
The end positions should not cause
the coaches much worry, for although
the loss of Esud Smith. the best end Of
the year. will make a big gap, 10Th
FELTON, and O'Brien should take care
OF this department. O'Brien has had
enough experience to become a stellar
end next year, and is one of the fastest
men on the football field. Nothing
needs TO be said of FELTON,. His work
Saturday speaks for itself. and if he
had been available in the Princeton
game a different result might have
been recorded.
In the back field Wendell, Reynolds
and T. II, rockingham will be, eligl-
BILE. In addition to these sterling
players the best freshman backs that
have been seen on Soldiers field for
naany a day will give the back field
plenty of material from which to make
a final selection. Brickley is the best
of these, and his drop kicking and
open field running ought to strengthen
the offense of the crimson team.
In the other position Harry Gardner
will again be available. me with the
experience he has had this year he
should develop into a quarterback Of
the first water for next season. Nal
Logan, the freshman quarter, is also
promising.

Washington, today in the eighth
round. McVey had all the better Of
the fight. which was scheduled to go
ten rounds. Lester showed plenty of
pluck and took an extraordinary
amount of punishment about the head
and ribs, but McNey had the better of
the contest from start to finish.
A no stage of the contest was the
negro in danger. His left hand was
ever in Testers face. and when ne
clared he shot the right to the head or
body. the latter punches finally beat
ing the former champion down in the
