RAISED FOOT BALL FIELD.
Yale's Grounds to Be Graded So as
to Be Self Draining.

NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, November 25.-
Among the changes to be made in the
foot ball plant at Yale will be the raising
Of the grade Of the field to improve the
drainage. The center of the gridiron
will be raised foot above the edges,
which will taper off imperceptibly. This
is planned to make the playing field self
draining.
Whether the slight rise will he noticed
by the players or will prove disad-
vantage to the side working up grade
cannot be told until after an actual trial.
However, this grading seems to be the
only feasible way OF preventing pools of
water from soaking up the field as was
the case in the Princeton game.

PHILADELPHIA, November 25.-"It is
going to be much harder proposition
winning an American League pennant
in 1919 than it was this year. says Con-
ME Mack, manager of the twice worlds
champion Athletics
Every club in the league is strengthen
ing to pull down the champions. and you
know every great club has a time to be
beaten. Chicago. Cleveland. Boston and
New York will give us IL great fight next
year. and all the other clubs-even st.
Louis-should be stronger than in 1911.
I'VE may win again. but 1t won't do
for our players to grow overconfident
and believe that they are going to have
a walkover. They'll have the hardest
fight of their lives on their hands next
year. and will have to get in and hustle
for every game.
The chances are that. with possibly
one exception. the Athletics next year
will present the same team that won the
worlds championship this year. The one
exception may be in the outfield. Con-
ME Mack is expecting great things from
Maggert, the California outfielder. Con-
ME has seen him in action and he feels
pretty certain that Maggert is of the
sort that can make good as star in the
big league. Just whose place Maggert
will take is not certain. but he will make
Lord and Oldring go at great clip to
hold their jobs.
Mack had thirty-six players on his re-
serve list when the drafting season
closed, but this has been cut down to
thirty. though one or two more may be
added before the team starts for San
Antonio, Tex, for spring practice.
The six men who have been disposed
of during the last thirty days are Harry
Davis, Erbline, Smith, Jackson. Cook and
Cameron.

One thing that Hal Chases successor
should insist on is absolute control of the
team, which from all accounts his prede-
cessors have never enjoyed. There ap-
pears to be entirely too much interference
with the manager in New York, and so
long as this continues there Is no chance
for success Frank Farrell is really new
in base ball. and for that reason perhaps
does not realize that a manager must
have full control and not be hampered
by outside interference. Chase's friends
blame his failure to this state of affairs.
and the new manager should have an
ironciad clause in his contract covering
this point If he hopes to make any sort
of a showing.

next season. O'Toole. considering the
fact that he was suffering from a lame
ARM made a very remarkable showing
in the few games he pitched for the Pi-
rates last fall. and it was the general
opinion that he would be star in fast
company. O'Toole displayed enough to
satisfy Clarke that when his arm had
the required rest he would be wonder
full pitcher. and he will be the center OF
attraction when he starts out in the next
campaign. 1t would be hard luck indeed
for the Pittsburgh club If after paying
$22,500 for pitcher he should have per-
manently injured his arm. but 1t is not

INVESTIGATION ASKED.
Mexico Wants Cops Who Killed Old
Man Punished.

Wichita. Kan, Sept 9.-Notice has
been received here that the Mexican
government, through Consul DosaI at
Kansas City. has demanded of Cover
nor W. R Stubbs of Kansas, that the
policemen implicated in the shooting
of G. Logobia. Mexican laborer. in a
raid on a bunk car here on the night
of August 10, be prosecuted.
This demand has been anticipated
here since the Mexican government
requested a full transcript of all testi-
mony taken in the coroner's verdict.
The testimony taken at that time
seemed to show unQuestionably that
there was grounds for further investi-
cation.
This shooting occurred about mid
night on the night of August 8 during
an alleged gam bling raid" on a bunk
car occupied by a number of Mexican
laborers on the Missouri Pacific tracks
here.
G. Logobia, an old man, was shot
through the head and mortalIy wound
ed while asleep in his bunk near one
end of the car. Several bullet holes
were found in the walls of the car and
the evidence seemed to show beyond
question that the shot which killed the
man had been fired by a policeman,
none of the Mexicans being armed.
Officer Metcalf who took part in the
raid, is at present in Nebraska, where
he has just been married. County At
torney McGill has been awaiting his
return to issue warrants for all of the
officers who took part in the raid.
