RICHARDS THINKS
SPIES WERE BUSY

Madison. Wis. Nov. 3.-In the belief
that Wisconsin formations have been
tipped off to Chicago inc Minnesota,
Coach Richards has decided to teach
his charges an entirely new set of
plays. Reports of this kind have been
rife for a week or ten days.
Practice yesterday was behind clos
ed gates. One day each week will be
open for the rooters. The varsity lined
up yesterday against the scrubs, who
had been taught Minnesota plays by
Prep White. a witness of the Iowa
Minnesota game Saturday. Neither
side was able to score in a half hours
scrimmage.
There is no fear of Iowa in the
Cardinal camp. The students are fig
uring on a victory by a margin any
where from twenty to thirty points. On
the basis on comparative scores, Wis
consin should have little trouble in
Nesting the Iowans. Wisconsin de-
feated Lawrence. who beat Beloit,
who beat Cornell, who beat Iowa, who
play the Badgers next Saturday. Yet
the Badgers are not displaying an over
amount of confidence. Coach Rich
ards Is trying daily to disabuse the
minds, of his men from any feelings of
security they may have.

CLYMER NAMED AS
BREWERS

Milwaukee. Nov. 3.-Baseball fans
are wondering who will lead the club
next season. with Barrett resigned.
Bill Clymer has been mentioned as a
possible choice for next season, and it
has been rumored that Havenor has
been negotiating with him. This the
Milwaukee owner denies.
At present there are three men who
could be secured from tn big show.
They are Hugh Duffy. George Stovall
and possibly Johnny King. Duffy, it
is said, will manage Des Moines. how
ever. Stovall is out Of a job by vir-
tue of the lea with Harry Davis,
made before stovall showed what he
could do as manager of a club. Sto-
vail was mentioned as a choice to
manage Washington, but the selection
of Clark Griffith ends that rumor.
Johnny Killing also is said to be look
ing for q berth as manager, but he is
angling for the leadership of the Rust
lers. Tom Jones, this years first sack
er, is a possibility.

Graw's idea hat the youngsters on his

pat on his. present lineup for next
season. OF course. this does. not mean
that a newly discovered sta could not
push aside of the present regu-
lars, but he thinks the men who won
n pennant in the National league,
being young and more likely to i'm.
prove thar go back. a repeat. He
also has confidence that Mathewson
will have another good season and
that Marquard will make good in the
league season again.
His most formidable rivals another
year would appear to be the Phillies
that the injury to Manager Doom
cost the Phillies whatever chance
they had and other injuries. acci-
dents and unfortunate incidents also
figured. Then there is Pittsburg
where the sensational O'Toole is ex-
pected to earn a pennant as return
for the $22,500 he cost. The Cubs
are supposed TO be fast fading and
1t Is a question whether Bresnahan
can again arouse his youngsters to
the pitch he did before he was injur-
ed last season.
AS for the American league, it will
be Manager Mack's ambition to bring
a third successive pennant and
worlds series title to Philadelphia.
He will have his present wonderful
team to help him, as it is thought
Coombs. will be in shape again before
the 1912 opens. A big shake.
up Is predicted at Detroit and a re-
organized team would probably not
be dangerous the first season.
Harry Davis. as manager, should
add great strength to Cleveland. The
club has a fine pitching staff and is
understood to- have some wonderful
young talent which it is expected. will
make the club a contender at least.
