RUSSELL HEIRS
MAY NOT HOLD
THE BOSTON NINE

NEW YORK, Nov. 22.-The death of
William Hepburn Russell, chief owner
of the Boston National League base
ball club, will probably throw the
former Doves on the market once more,
where they have been off and on for
two years. Just what disposition was
made of the took will not be known
until Mr.. Russell's will is offered for
probate, but friends declare tina the
heirs will not care to assume the wor-
ries of handling the team, more par
ticularly as 1t has not been strikingly
successful as an investment for two or
three seasons
Mr.. Russell bought the Boston Ma
tionals just before the season opened
last spring in conjunction with Fred
Tenney, who held a minority interest
and who acted as manager. The team
started off fairly well. but soo struck
a bad streak and lost game after game.
finally winding up a bad last in the
race for the pennant. Mr.. Russell made
an effort to sell his interest in the
team toward the close of the season,
but the deal fell through.

WEST POINT, n. Y, Nov. 22.-The
army team will leave Friday morning
with a squad of some forty men, and
the corps of C. lets will leave for the
game Saturday morning on a special
train. As ususal, the battalion of
cadets will return Immediately after
the game and will have their meals

The practise yesterday was devoted
chiefly to drilling the ends in getting
down under punts and the backs in
catching the ball. Wood especially
came in for much attention, and al
though last Saturday was the first
game he has played this year he is
showing much of his last years speed.
There was 40 scrimmage. but The line
men were given practise in breaking
through against the third team.
Forwards Devore, Arnold n Little

Officials Do Not Want
Machine Flying Overhead
During Yale Game.

BOSTON, Nov. 1.-The Harvard
Athletic Association VIII endeavor to
prevent the carrying out Of Aviator
Harry Atwood's plans for a flight over
the Stadium on Saturday afternoon
during the Harvard-Yale football
game on the ground that such an ex-
hibition might endanger the spectators.
While we recognize that there is at
present no law on the statute books
preventing an aviator from dying over
the football field, . eaid v. T. Garce-
Ion, graduate treasurer. 4 think that
all Harvard graduates feel very
strongly that such a thing should not
occur.
With 10000 persons in the Stadium
there must be danger in having a ny
ing machine moving about over the
spectators. We shall do cur utmost
to dissuade Mr.. Atwood or any other
aviator from lying over the field of
play or over the stands"

One of Football S
Greatest Stars, Yet
Team Loses.

Pennsylvania has demonstrated this
season to everyhody's satisfaction that
a o man" football team is an inn
possibility. In the old days an eleven
might go through the season winning
games with an individual player stand
ing out from his fellows like a larger
beer saloon on the Sahara desert. They
can't do II now. under the new rules.
Mercer, Pennsylvania's fullback, still
stars as he did early in the season. but
the team isn't a winning one. 1t has
been beaten by Brown and Carlisle,
scored on by Gettysburg and Dickinson
and still has Michigan and Cornell to
meet. With Mercer looming large in
every game, there has been little chance
for team play. The lack of a capable
quarterback, too, has weakened the
eleven.

ARMY AND NAVY TEAMS IN THE LAST
STAGES OF PREPARATION FOR THEIR GAME
Player Broker System
VIII Be Abolished Says
Pres. Thomas Chivinston

CHICAGO, Nov. 22.-President
Tom Chivington. of the Ameri-
can Association. has returned to
Chicago from the San Antonio
meeting of the National Asso-
citation of Professional Baseball
Leagues with the prophecy that
there is to be a reform in the
sport.
The PLAYER broker system.
termed by Chiyington the great
est evil in baseball, is to be done
away with. He says the mag
mates in both the major and
minor leagues are ready to place
a limit on the number of players
each club can hold under con-
tract. both during the winter
and playing seasons, and also to
restrict the number of recruits
each club may contract for
through draft and purchase.
The pressing need for such a
reform has impressed itself on
the magnates during the last
five years, according to Chiving-
ton. until now they r ready to
consider such limitations. Such
conditions were proposed several
years ago by President B. b.
Johnson, OF the American
League. but were cried down as
being too radical.

HAL CHASE
PASSES AS
A LEADER
Famous First-sacker of Yankees
Resigns, Opening Way
for W0lvertOn.

The resignation of Hal Chase, ac-
ospted by President Frank Farrell, OF
h New York American League club,
yesterday, opens the way for Harry
Wolverton to step in as the Yank pilot.
It is the second time that a former
Newark manager will have a chance
to make good as a leader of the New
York club. George S~tallings worked
wonders with the team and put a
seventh place team into the running.
but Hal Chase crimped him.
Hal has had his chance and beer
found wanting. Perhaps he will be a
real good ball player, as he promises
10, and a good subordinate to Wolver-
ton. If he isn't Harry will not toll
erate him very long. A first base
man not SO spectacular as Chase would
ia the enc be more to the advantage of
the club than Hal unless Chase turns
over a new leaf.
