YALE COACHES
 FEEL DISCOURAGED
DON'T LIKE WAY MATERIAL FOR
 TEAM IS SHOWING UP.

New Haven Sept. 27-Ya1e football coaches made no secret yesterday of the fact that they regard the situation critical. They ordered the squad through the longest and most grind ing practice of the season, despite the grueIling game with Wesleyan Wed nesday and the impending Holy Cross bout of next Saturday
 No shake up was ordered, for the strongest players on the squad have been already recruited. Six eIevens were formed for the signal drill, and before practice closed practically every one in uniform had been through plenty of work.
 Every player was ordered out for duty1 even Bomeisler, whose shoulder is weak. and Walter Camp, Jr, who has not yet 1.egained' his weight since his recent illness. Bomefsler was as signed sentinel duty on the second eleven and was kept in the practice half an hour. Camp practiced drop kicking and logged around the field for conditioning purposes.
 Lefty Flynn, the former Paw1ing School star a1l-around athlete, report ed and punted remarkably well. The coaches expect much of him later in the season. He was barred from the freshman eleven last year through some technicality.

He has so far gather ed seventeen men under his wing and will give them all a tryout between now and the spring training season It is his intention to trot some of tho youngsters out before the present sea- son is closed. Jennings has thirty nine players altogether from which to build his club for next year Thss- include six catchers and men for all other positions in the game
 John Ganzel, manager of the Koch ester Hustlers for the past four years. is reported to be dickering for batch of stock in the Buffalo club. and should the deal go through Ganzsi will manage the Bisons next year fu place of George StaIlings, who is slat- case the deal does not go through with Ganzel it is believed HuEheg Duffy will be the next pilot of the Herd.
 Umpire Rieier, who won the repu- tatfon last year of being the best ground-keeper that ever went co Cu ba, IS having trouble already i'm ar ranging for the aIl-star team he in- tends to take with him on his return engagement in the Pearl of the An has refused to let Marty O'Too1s and Bobby Byrne go on Rigs cast. and ft is question whether the Natonal Commission will let Tesreau and Doyle of the Giants join the ezpedf- ton.
 Philadelphia was not able to get a team into the big show this year. but it is going to stage a city series be- tween the Athletics and the Phillics as a counter attraction to the worlds series. The games have been au- nounced to begin on Oct. z. the date that the Giants and the Red sox viii likely open against each other This series should settle the doubt that has existed for two years as to which of the Quaker City clubs was the better ball club, for despite the fact that the Mackmen won two worlds championships in succession there were plenty of fans who believed thaL the Phtllies were better team.

 Murphy only thinks of the team sake play harder when I am away than when I with them. They want to finish in second place, and so do I, and I want to beat the White Sox in the post-season series.
 These unjust charges of Murphy s plish either of these things. Of course his statement reflects upon me per sona1ly and have been in the buSi- ness too long to allow Murphy any reason I make this statement at this time.''

M'G00RTY AND GlBBCNS ARGUE
 ABOUT WEIGHT I
w% h& le

GooffS sni1sE PD viii be made, and would have an even chance of winning if it is made is essentially a matter Of weight. The amount of the finan- csal inducements also cuts big figure, but it is the weight question that most concerns. the followers of boxing If Gibbons and McGoorty had met on weighs on that occasion, there is little room 70, ~si oxzb1 that the St. Paul phan- Hom so sfzi z1fave been beaten despite slis B5n ndArfI1f cIeVerness. McGOorty is a clever boxer himself and is far more heavily armed regards punching ability He is much stronger and un- doubtedlN can stand much punishment if necessary. although he has never eoeen beaten enough to call on his en- aire resources in. this respect.
 McGoorty was fair sized heavy weight last Monday. At 15S pounds aringside it might be a different mat Ter. Gibbons himself was heavier than drop all pretense of being a welter- weight still his hitting cannot be compared with that of the Oshkosh terror The danger to Gibbons would be that McGoorty s crushing blows might batter down his defense by sheer force In order to prevent this from happening Gibbons would have to rely altogether on his footwork and dsrclxing. and if forced to break ground continually would not be able to score very often himself
 AS the match promises to be one of she biggest that could be arranged 3ust now both the men are demanding g 5ig guarantees. A liberal percentage of the gate receipts has been offered. but apparently they are not satisfied sc take chance on their own drawing power. If Gibbons is contem pla tin g any more such performances in the meantime he gave with Tommy 3ialoney. he is probably wise in doubt ing his value at the box office. A few like it and his popularity will wane quickly enough He claims an injured right arm was the sole cause for his light hitting, although he used it all most altogether in the closing roIin dS while keeping his left idle It was not the first time that he has been booted by ringside gatherings for similar tac- tics

RAILROAD MANAGERS
 WANT INCREASED RATES
 TO MEET STRIKE DEMANDS

Madrid, Sept. 27-Spanish railroad managers conferred today, with the ministers to see if the government will allow them to increase rates or grant a subsidy to meet the wage increase their striking employees de- mand. They said surrender to the strikers would cost them $27. .00O, 900. The government is so much alarmed, it may agree. The railroad strike threatens to spread from the Catalan provinces throughout Spain and dock workers, iron workers, the building trades unions have adopted resolutions to join it if necessary. Revolu tionary sentiment is growing and martial law is likely to be declared.
