and sensible lines. Lawrence MeCabe,
ir., of East Orange. has thought out

Princeton's eleven proved its worth
TO those admirers who saw worth III
her when others, following the public
NOISE, could see only Harvard as a
winner.
Princeton has a fine football team
this year. with plenty of good material
which even now is not at its height
Yale must let no moss grow under
her feet between this and a week from
Saturday, when the Tiger and the
Bulldog run abump.'

George Stovall is now a REQ mana
gerial possibility. He will be eonsid-
cred by the owners of the Cincinnati
club, If there is a chance of getting his
release from the American League.
Clark Griffith, former Red manager,
has the laugh on the Cincinnati fans
and the Cincinnati club. President
Hermann said Griffith would have
been retained If he had not signed
with Washington. The old fox had
good reason to doubt the sincerity of
the directors of the Red club, and
signed with Washington before the
C~incinnatians had a chance to make
up their minds.
Griff has gone TO his Montana ranch.
He will return in about three weeks,
wind up his affairs in Cincinnati ana
then begin to shape the Washington
club for next seasons campaign.
None of the big teams will go IN
scored on his fall. Practically all of
the East's big eights and Western
conference elevens have had their goal
lines crossed once or twice this sea
son.
Last year it was different. The
Navy, University of Pittsburg and II
linois teams went through the season
without having their records married by
even a field goal.
The Middies' chances TO repeat dis
appeared in the second game of the
season when the Johns Hopkins eleven
scored q touchdown. The Navy won.
~ to ., Carlisle shattered ~Pittsburg's
record two weeks ago by scoring l.
points. Pittsburg up to that time had
not beer defeated or scored on since
1889. The same day the crack Illinois
team lost its prestige. Hi went through
the 1910 campaign with flying colors
and advanced to the Chicago game this
fan without meeting a reverse or being
scored on. But Illinois fell with a thud
against the Maroons. Chicago rolled
up24 points and made up for lost time.

!jail players are just as interested in
the careers of their stars as are the
fans. For instance, during the season
inst past.. several members of the
Washington team were discussing Ty
Cobb, and they said he was the
hiahest-priced man in the game. They
didn't claim the Detroit Club paid him
a larger salary han any other player
received. but said Tyrus was on the
payroll of every other club in the
league; said hat the drawing powers
of the Georgian were so great thai
every club-oWner in the league paid
him $1,000 II year.
They said Tyrus received something
like $4,000 a year from Detroit and an
additional 81 200 from every other club,
with the result that his annual st1-
pond amounted to $17, 900.
Which story the magnates boot.
Shows You that Tyrus is pretty we'll
thought of as a player by the fellows
who play against him.
