From the Boston Globe.

From the Boston Globe.
 Medford. Mass.-One woman has sue ceeded in causing the banishment or death or every rooster owned by residents within quarter mile of her home on Lawrence street. In Glenwood. The board of health was convinced, after complaints in writ ing covering more than 15O letters writ ten by Mrs George B. Gill. wife of George B. CHI of the board of overseers of the poor, that the growing chandeliers of Glenwood were a menace to the health. peace of mind, rest and comfort of Mrs. Gill, and ordered the owners of the fowls to get rid of them.
 The matter has been agitated for more that year by Mrs. Gill, who said that she could not sleep mornings because of the early and prolonged growing of about 60 roosters of all varieties and noise-mak- ing prochvities Now she says she is an. noyed by parrot of a neighbor and has just written the board of health asking them to abate the parrot as a nuisance.

Pheasant Nest in a Tree
From the Scotsman.

FTOm the ScOtSman.
 While walking through a thick wood in the beginning of last week I noticed what I thought was a hawk in its nest on tall fir tree about twenty-five feet from the ground. On climbing up to the nest I was much surprised to see hen pheasant pop out onto the branch, and on looking into the nest I saw that the bird was setting on nine eggs.
 I have carefully watched the nest since and every egg has been matched out. This Is the first time in my exper- fence that l have known a pheasant nest ing at such height from the ground.

COLLEGE ATHLETES
TO Be BARRED FROM
CLUB COMPETITION

NEW YORK, Nov. sixteen
changes are proposed to the constitu-
ton of the Amateur Athletic Union.
Probably the most important amend
ment is one which will affect many of
the clubs and hundreds of college ath-
letes. 1t prevents all college students
from competing for a club. The old
rule permitted college athletes to wear
the colors of a club during their vaca-
ton period.
= The changes in the rules will be sub
mitted at the annual meeting of the
union, to be held at the Waldorf-As-
toria on November 20.
The new student rule says;
I'm all open competitions a student
attending a university, college, school
or other educational institution must
represent his educational institution,
and unless he has graduated, he shall
not be allowed to represent a club or
other organization until he files with
the registration committee a certificate
that his period of scholarship in the
educational institution has finally ter
minated"
One which promises to meet with tbs
approval of all the little athletic clubs
III l1t tOullIS says ma III llii1N
can compete for any club within two
years after he competed as a member
of any other athletic club. The pres
ent rule allows an athlete to compete
for another club at the expiration Of
one year.
The object of this new rule, too, is
to prevent the big club from grabbing
the little clubs best athletes.
Another makes 1t necessary for an
athlete of one district to file with the
registration committee of another dis
trict a certificate of his residence at
least six months prior to the district
championship in which he intends to
compete.
1t is the intention of this rule to pro-
hibit a club from drafting an athlete
| from mother district to represent 1t
IN q championship meet.
Several of the other rules proposed
give more power to the National reg
~istration committee and give 1t the au-
thority now confined to the board of
governors of the union.

SYRACUSE, ". Y, Nov. 2.-One of
the most interesting offerings on the
football program this week is the
game between Michigan and Syracuse,
marking the beginning of a series of
games between Eastern and Western

based the usual comparison of Eastern

which must uphold the East's reputa-
tion.
Syracuse will play Michigan, ohio
State and st. Louis University, there

EARLY FIT
Both Teams Will Have Their
Final S%crimmages
Today.

PRINCETON, n. j., Nov. 2.-For over
an hour the coaches drove the Prince
ton varsity football team through a
hard s~crimmage yesterday afternoon.
1t was one OF the hardest workouts of
the year and probably will be the last
hard scrimmage before the game with
Harvard ON Saturday. There were not
many encouraging features on the prac-
tise, and the regulars failed to show
much better organization or team work
than in any of the other practises ot
tho year.
Duff and Hart, as usual. played the
strongest games in the line. and
Blutchenthal tore things up around
centre in great shape. The remainder
of the line showed little strength either
in breaking up plays or making holes
for the backs.
Pepdicton Gets Rest.
Both Wilson and Pendleton were
given complete rests. neither man APP
pesring ON the field in toys. Both play
ers were bruised up a bit in yester-
days practise, and IL is not likely that
they will do any hard work before Sat
urday.

GEORGE SMITH
MAY DECIDE TO
QUIT BASEBALL
Tigers SecOnd-Sacker Has
Been Playing Professional
Baseball for 10 Years.

George Smith, who captained and
covered second base for the Tigers
during the last half of the recent base
ball season. is ready to lay away his
baseball armor for good and settle
down to. a quiet existence in Buffalo,
where he owns a very remunerative
pool and billiard parlor.
That George has reached the last
milestone in his basebf career is
pretty nearly certain.
He has played ball for sixteen years
as a professional, and has been every
thing on a baseball team from batboy
and mascot to- manager. He reached
the pinnacle of his career when he was
appointed captain of the New York
Giants.
From Gotham he went to Rochester,
where he almost piloted the Flower
City team to a championship, acting
as captain under AL Buckenburger.
Nothing but an accident, in which he
was spiked and compelled to lay off
for a fortnight, cost the Bronco a
pennant.
Later he went to Buffalo and man
aged the Bisons in 1908 and 1909. Last
year he was traded to Montreal, but
was dissatisfied. and was returned to
Buffalo in midseason. When Stallings
weeded out last spring he released
Smith. who signed with Larry
S~chlahy's Trojans. Joe McGinnity
wanted him. and gave Cy Parkin and
Jimmy Frick to Liant him for the
Tigers.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Nov. p
The contention that present-day
football is as prolific as the OBJ

injuries is apparently borne cut
by the long list of injuries
which have befallen Yale play

been incapacitated and out of

and about half of the star men
Of the first eleven. The list is
longer than that experienced by
any other college, but the others
have had a share of injuries.
Three of Harvard's best men
have had a long hospital record

They feel that with a dry fell

the present Princeton eleven will
not be at its best and will stand
a poor chance.
On paper the Harvard team
looks about fifty per CENT.
stronger than Princeton, but the

of the slippery footing in the stadium.
1t was felt that some Of the team
needed the hard work, but the trainer
would allow no serimmage except the
easy, no-tackling play that Harvard
uses so much behind the fence. The
varsity rush line. however. with two ex-
ceptions, was worked out against the
scrubs and the subs for nearly an hour
and managed to get up a lot of speed.
