BETTING 6 TO 5 ON YALE
 TO HUMBLE PRINCETON TEAM
Rain and Wind Did Not Phase Rooters Who
 invaded New Haven Last Night

chance at attempting to make 10 yards in, line plunges Princeton has not the offensive power to damage the Yale forwards much while Yale, though stronger extensively, is facing a team whose defense has made it greatly to be feared. It was expect ed, therefore, to be a duel between Captain Howe, the wonderful Eli quarter, and Dewitt, the Tigers half back, with honors about even though giving Howe slight shade the best. The Yale captain kicks with dead ly precision and his spirals are hard to catch. Dewitt, however, gets his punts away in splendid shape. Camp can be called upon to relieve Howe, should the latter be forced to leave the game, though Camp is not Howe g equal. A kicking game necessarily will call for good ends and here, it is believed, the odds favored Princeton. White and Dunlap have played rings around their opponents and stamped themselves as the best pair of Hanks on.. the gridiron, today. But Bomeis- Ter and Avery are not to be sneered at In the recent games they were down under Howe's punts like shots.
 The duel between these four men was expected to be one of the most Yales tackles were expected to show better than Princeton's. Hart will play against Paul. By past perform ances, Scully, of Yale, ought to out play Phillips.
 At guard the teams are about even. Duff, the doughty Tiger, is to face Francis, while Wilson fights 1t out Princeton's backs stand out far bet ter than the Blues. Baker and De- Witt are far better than Camp, Free man or Reilly, at half.

Harry WoIverton
 To Succeed Chase
 As N. Y. Manager
REPORT CIRCULATED AT MINOR <, LEAGUE CONVENTION SAID TO
 BE WE'LL FOUNDED.

San Antonio, Texas. Nov. 1S-lt was reported here yesterday that Harry Wolverton will manage the New York American team next year. It is said that Frank Farrell, president of the Highlanders, has closed deal where by Wolverton will succeed Hal Chase as director of the players.
 Wolverton is we'll known in baseball circles, having played in both the Na- tional and American Leagues. He be- gan his career on the diamond, as a pitcher, but became a baseman after his arm went back on him. He join ed major league company in 1899. when he played with the Chicago Ma tionals. He went from there to the went to Washington. From there he rejoined the Philadelphia club and was later traded to Boston,
 A dispute over salary caused him to join the Tri-State League. where he managed the Williamsport team for three years, winning two pennants for that club. He later managed the Newark team, and from there went to California League, where he worked last year.
 How to reduce what minor league owners consider the high cost of base ball continued to be the most import ant topic before the National AssOcia- tion of Professional Baseball Leagues, which is in session here.
 Club officials generally are agreed that salaries paid to minor league players are too high, and practically all of fthe owners have agreed to the plan of President Allen of the Texas League, that salaries should be cut sharply, and that the power to fix salaries be taken away from the vari- OuS leagues.

 For Local Fans

 Betting on baseball games has be- come such an evil that the national association is making tan effort to stamp it out. At the suggestion of President Baum of the Pacific Coast league, the Attorney General of the United States will be petitioned to stop pool selling and other gambline devices. It is generally felt that the gambling element has no proper place in baseball and that if the pool sellers become too powerful the game will be greatly injured.
 Pitcher Charles Chech, for several years with the Boston Red Sox and last season with St. Paul of the Am erican association. has been sold to Los Angeles of the Coast league.
 Jack Tighe. the former Holyoke manager. is making an effort to get a good club for Louisville in the Ann erican association. He has purchased Outfielder Al Burch from Brooklyn. Tighe is up against a tough proposi- tion in the strong American associa- tion but it is believed that he will make good. He managed Seattle in the Northwestern league last season but left before the season closed be- cause of dispute with the club own

Another Shift In
 Harvard's Eleven
HUNTINGTON MOVED TO CENTER
 AND BI1ACKAIL GOES TO FULLBACK POSITION.

Cambridge, Mass, Nov 1S-Harvaro will present a charged line upsin her annual battle with Dartmouth. sched- nled for today Blackall will start at fullback, displacing Huntington who will return to centre. position in (which he has had a raft of exper- fence. f>
 The new. arrangement is made be- cause the Crimson coaches are deter mined to leave no stone unturned to defeat Dartmouth. They believe that Felton's knee is not we'll enough to allow his entry into the contest. An available punter must be in play ana Blackall is easily the premier kicker in the Harvard camp, with the excep- tionp of Felton.
 Huntington is a dead sure man at centre, but his services to date have been considered more valuable in the back field on account of his great de- fensive ability. e.
 Storer, the former centre, will get his first real experience at right tao kle and his work will be closely fol- lowed. O'Brien will guard right end in Felton's stead.
 Harvard is the favorite in the bet ting at 10 to 8, but with 8 heavy in- Aux of Green rooters late last night the odds should become even money

Free Masons May
 Drop Jack Johnson
Grand Lodge of Scotland to Decide Whether Cham pion's Election Is
 Regular

London, Nov. 18-Jack Johnson's ad- mission as Freemason at Dundee is the subject of an inquiry started by the Provincial Grand Lodge of Forfar- shire, which has called on the Grand Lodge of Scotland to decide whether Johnson was eligible and regularly elected.
 It has beer drought out that neither Johnson's proposer nor seconder knew him personally, but that he was rec commended to them by member of a theatrical profession claiming intimate acquaintance with him.
 It also has been learned that sud- den change was made in the hour for meeting, which prevented many Ma sons from attending. A letter was read to the Inquiry court from an English Colonel, stating that he had travelled across the Atlantic with John son and found him a gentle and kind ivy gentleman, entirely worthy of be- ing admitted as a FreemasOn.
 It is expected that the Grand Lodge will nullify the election, suggesting that Johnson submit himself again, when he will be rejected.

No Freak Goals
 Will Count Today
Yale and Princeton Agree ], Not to Have Repetition of
 Dartmouth Dispute

The Yale and Princeton coaches and captains before the game this after noon will probably discuss the ques- ton of a possibility of freak goal from the field today-such a goal as was made by Dewitt against Dart mouth last Saturday. It willr be re- membered that Dewitt, standing 47 yards away from the Dartmouth goal, tried goal from a drop kick. The ball after being kicked struck a Dart mouth player then struck the ground and bounded over the crossbar be- tween the. goal posts. It was declared field goal and Princeton received the three points, winning by that score from Dartmouth.
 Head Coach Field admitted last night that there probably would be a-conference between the Princeton and Yale coaches and captains and that an agreement will probably be reached whereby such a goal, if made, will not count today. Such an agree ment would be binding in the same way that an agreement as to the length of the periods is binding.
 The same question will be raised before the Yale-Harvard game.

Hogan Wins From Knockout Brown
 In Ten Round Go
Californian Evens Up for Previous Defeat He Took
 from New. Yorker ki

"One Round" Hogan; of California, evened his score with Knockout" Brown last night at the Madison A. C., New York. In ten furious rounds he dethroqed the idol of Gotham. Brown was game, but Hogan knew just a little too much. With a right that very seldom missed, he pepper ed the Dutchman throughout the thirty minutes.
 In the fourth round a terrific right closed Browns left eye as tight as a clam, and all through the fight that deadly right continued to land on the injured optic. It was a great disad- for the East Slider. The lost sight made him miss repeatedly, and his admirers groaned as they saw their boy suffer from such handi- cap.
 After seeing the damage he was doing, Hogan eased up for several rounds. In the ninth round Hogan sent a furry of rights to Brown S jaw Id drove the latter over the ropes He hung there. while Hogan kept up his fast work
 Brown was on his toes all through the battle, but that old triphamme CT left was beaten right along by Ho- gan's right. Several times Brown got the left on the proper spot, but Ho- gan used his brain and ran into a clinch. More often the Dutchman S left glove found a resting place on Hogan's back, but Brown kept plug ging along. smiling, despite the poor work. = a
 At times it seemed as though Browns waliops hurt Hogan At such moments the Californian kept away, but whenever Brown started a desperate rally pop would go the right to Browns head. It was simply a case of a clever right-hand boxer beating fighter with a good left glove. In the opening session it look ed as if Brown would gallop home He bombarded Hogan persistently. In the next three Hogan kept right busy and look the lead. When the blow that closed Knockout's eye did it's work it ruined his chances.

HOW EDDIE GRANEY HAD
 LAUGH ON THE UMPIRE

Jack Graney of the Cleveland Maps is a humorist. When Graney joined the team he was pitcher. His twirling was not up to major league standard, yet he held on for months as a pitcher.
 Some of the Detroit players recall how Graney downed the Tiger aggre- gation in a kidding" match three or four yeats ago. When he was sent to the coast, some of the Tigers mail ed postals telling him he was where he belonged. To these Graney re- piled he would be back with the big show when they were in the tall, un- cut. Graney made good. He "came back an outhelder
 Umpire Jack Egan relates a bit of conversation that Graney pulled last year. A fat. high ball was delivered, that might have been called either way.
 Did you have the nerve to call that a striker" asked Graney, without turning his head.
 Correct" said Jack
 Where was the ball?" asked
