DROP FROM HOCKEY LEAGUE
New York Athletic Club and
Wanderers Withdraw Teams.

The New York Athletic Club will not be
represented by a team IN the annual tour
nament OF the Amateur Hockey League
this season. This was announced at the
annual meeting Of the Amateur Hockey
League, held at the St. Nicholas Skating
Rink last night The New York Athletic
Club was not represented at the meeting.
nor was any reason given for its with
drawal, but II Is believed that the present
conditions IN the club are at the bottom
Of IT,
The Wanderers, too, will not be repre-
scented by a team this season, but II Is
generally known that they retired to
make an opening for the Irish-Amerlcan
Athletic Club, which was admitted 10
membership In the league by unanimous
vote. They Will be represented b. James
c. O'Bren. -Four clubs were represented
at the meeting-the Wanderers Hockey
Club, ST. Nicholas Skating Club the Cres-
cent Athletic Club and the Hockey Club
OF New York.
The withdrawal Of the teams OF the New
York Athletic club and the Wanderers
Hockey Club led TO an amendment OF the
constitution Of the league which provides
that any club which is not represented
by a team in active competition for two
successive years will forfeit its member
ship in the league. II is believed that this
will have an effect upon the two clubs
that dropped out, and that the winter OF
1914 will see both back In the game.
As it is now. only four teams Will COM
pete for the cup-the Crescent A. g.,
the Irish American a. c., the Hockey
Club OF New York and the st. Nicholas
A. c. Since there are comparatively few
high grade hockey players In and around
New York, 1t is expected that most Of the
men who played for the New York A. c.
and the Wanderers will make application
for membership in the Irish-American
A. G.
The applications OF George Harmon.
Ernie Garon and George Mitchell, Of the
Wanderers s. C., who were suspended on
charges of professionalism last season,
were discussed, but on motion were tabled

tice to-day for the Harvard game with
fine slcet beating down on the players.
1t was difficult 10 wear of the last

men appeared to be in excellent physical

John T. Brush, and II for any reason the
owner of the Giants should give up his
direction OF the property Mr.. Hampstead
would naturally assume control.
The secretaryship OF the Giants Is
difficult position to fill. and when Mr..
OBrien took the position. little less
than a year ago, IL was announced that
man exceptionally we'll qualified and ac-
quainted with the ins and outs of base
ball had been secured, because Mr.
Brushs physical condition prevented him
from exercising anything but general
supervision OF affairs.
Mr.. OBrien. who for several years was
president OF the American Association, Is
we'll known In the baseball world and Is
acquainted with all the big men OF the
game. His pleasing personality earned
him many friends and through his con-
nections. az we'll as his familiarity with
baseball routine and law. he appeared to
be the right man TO take active control OF
the business management OF the Giants.
The reason Of his resignation remains
as much mystery as the facts surround
ing the new incumbent. Mr.. OBrien may
have something to say on the subject to-
day. The club refused 10 furnish any en-
lghtenment on the score.
1t was the annual meeting OF the d.
rectors OF the National Exhibition Com
pany. the name under which the New
York club is incorporated. OF course, all
the financial matters OF tho club were
considered. The resignation Of John
Whalen as treasurer has been expected
for some time. He has lost several close
relatives during the last year. and has
been anxious to be relieved OF some OF the
pressure OF work which has devolved
upon his shoulders. He has an extensive
law practice. to which he must devote
much OF his time.

ARMY OUT IN MUD AND RAIN
Varsity Gets Special Drill and
Then Hard Scrimmage.
fBy Telegraph to The TrIbune.l


West Point, n Y, Nov 1.-THE Army
football team worked for an hour and a
half I'm the rain and mud TO-DAY. There
was special coaching for the ends in for
ward pass formations, the lnesmen had
q thorough try-out at breaking through
and securing a loose ball and the backs
were drilled in catching punts and run
ming them back
All this was preliminary TO n forty-five-
minute scrimmage, the most. holly con-
tested of the season. The scrub uncorked
several new plays and gave the first
team a very interesting afternoon. with
KNAPP and Hooker carrying the ball, the
scrub Waded through the regulars for
fifty yards, but were stopped on the
Army's 2-yard line, where they lost the
hall on downs. Hobbs, kicking for the
regulars, booted the ball from behind his
own goal line to Doe, the scrub quarter
back, on the Army's 40-yard line, from
which point Lanphier made pretty goal
from placement-the only score OF the
game.
The regular line was intact to-day, but
Eisenhower, Benedict Prichard and Alt
man made up the backfleld. ]. F. Hodg-
son and Coffin were in on the first team
for a short time, Weyand continued his
good work as tackle on the scrub and
Rosevear and Markoe did fine work at
the wing positions. Captain Graves has
been confined 10 his quarters all the week

4 Man of Mystery NeW
Secretary of the Giants
Joe O'Brien Resigns, but No
One Explains the Reason.
M'CUTCHEON AT THE HELM
Saws He Knows Little About
Baseball, but Hopes to
Learn Quickly.

The retirement Of Joseph d. O'Brlen,
secretary, and John Whalen, treasurer.
from active participation IN the affairs
of the New York Giants was announced
after the annual meeting OF the directors
yesterday morning. Mr.. Whalen retains
his interest In the club as director, but
his Office as treasurer, as well as Mr..
O'Brien's as secretary, will be filled by
r. II. McCutcheon, a newcomer into the
field Of baseball.
The resignation of Mr. O'Brien, who
sewers all connection with the club, came
as a bolt from the blue. No reason is
given for his retirement. He Is said to be
in perfect health. and went to Milwaukee
few days ago to look after the interests
OF. the Giants at the meeting OF the Ma
tional Association Of Minor League Clubs.
As his resignation was announced In his
absence, no statement could be obtained
from him. He is expected in New York
to-day.
The new incumbent OF the office was
inclined TO be reticent when seen at the
headquarters Of the club yesterday. and
much mystery surrounds him. Further
more he did not seem disposed to clear
II up.
Have you been connected with base
ball before" Mr.. McCutcheon was asked.
NO" he replied. II know very little
about the game. but l hope to learn
quickly"
Are you we'll acquainted with Mr.
Brush?"
yes; he and I have been personal
friends since 1883"
Are you a New Yorker?"
YES. In a sense. although have not
always lived in the city"
Where is your home?"
That is Of no Importance"
Cant you give few facts about your
previous business connectlons?'
We'll, / don't think that has any bear
ing on the case"
That was all the information that Mr..
McCutcheon cared TO give out. He APP
pears 10 be a man about fifty years old.
Enlightenment on the subject was
sought from Mr.. Brush. who Is living at
the Hotel Imperial. The owner OF the
Giants did not talk over the telephone,
but sent a message that all Information
would be given out at the headquarters OF
the club.
Among other business transacted By the
directors was the election OF II. n. Hemp
stead to the vIce-presldency, while Ed
ward Brannick was appointed assistant
to the secretary. a position which he oiled
under Mr.. o'Brien. The old board Of d.
rectors was reelected for the ensuing
year. Mr.. Hampstead is n son-in-law OF

Squad in Last Signal Drill Be-
hind Closed Gate.
rRy Telegraph to The Tribune J

ithaca. y. Y. Nov. 1.-THE Cornell
football squad had it's last practice on
Alumni Field before the Michigan game
early this afternoon. and the secret drill
consisted solely Of signal work. The three
teams composing the squad ran through
signals for the better part OF an hour on
a gridlron which was literally mud
puddle.
Nothing with regard TO the lineup
which will start the game at Ann Arbor
could be CLEANED from the work this after
noon, for the men who were on yesterdays
first eleven were split. some remaining on
the first team and some going to the sec
ond. Captain Butler ran the rrst team
and Finn O'Connor was In his place at
left half, williams passed the ball from
centre instead OF Jess whyte. and Cham
paien was in AT right guard for the first
time since the Dartmouth gcme.
This shift sent Zeller to the second
team. but Il is probable that he will get
into the game for a while on Saturday.
The policy Of substtutions I'm tho Michi-
gan game will be controlled largely by the
character the contest assumes, for de-
spIto the great stress laid on winning the
coaches will take no chances OF bringing
a crippled team back 10 Ithaca 10 prepare
for the Thanksgiving Day match.
Although the coaches had nothing 10
say that had any direct bearing on the
outcome OF the game, they expressed con-
fidence In the team II is certain, how
ever. that they feel that much depends
upon whether Captain Butler and O'Con-
nor will last through the greater part OF
the game Fritz, too, Is an important
factor In the backfield. but II is hardly
likely that he will play more than a single
quarter. His injury has not mended
quickly, and Taber is looked upon as the
man 10 play right half.
If 1t becomes necessary to take Butler
out OF the game Taber or Trainor will
take his place.
About a thousand or so undergraduates
assembled ct the station to see the team
off this evening. and about fifty students
went with the team. The train will ar
rive at Detroit tomorrow morning, and
the squad will go at once to the Detroit
Country Club. where It will remain until
Saturday noon.
The Cornell Alumni Association OF
Michigan will give an elaborate smoker
TO the coaches at Detroit tomorrow even
ing, at which 1t Is expected DR.. Sharpe
will speak.

M'COY COACHES FoRDHAM.

Frank Mccoy. formerly OF Yale, lent a
hand in the coaching of the Fordham
University eleven yesterday for its inn
portant return game with Stevens Insti-
tute tomorrow at Hoboken.
The instruction lasted an hour, and
when the varsity lined up against the
preparatory school afterward II showed
Improvement In its playing and tackling.
The college team played for a while on
the defence, but when on the offensive
ripped holes in the prep. line. The entire
regular eleven took the field. Tom Thorpe,
the head coach, has decided to give the
boys a rest to-day.

HARVARD PLAYS IN MUD.
Welcomes Chance for Practice
with a Slippery Ball.
ALL READY FOR DARTMOUTH
Hanover Eleven Not Likely to
Have Services of Morey in
Big Game.
TBy Telegraph TO The Tribune


Cambridge, Mass, Nov. H.-Soldiers'
Field was deep with mud to-day, but
this did not prevent the Harvard varsity
football players from working In the rain
for an hour and half. The scrimma ge
was between the varsity and the scrub,
which later had TO take hammerins
from the substitutes. With fumbling
slippery ball and rather poor work on
plays, there was no scoring.
The varsity several times came well up
the field, where Brickley attempted to
score by a field goal. He did not have
good luck with the wet ball, however,
The backs and ends had a long drill in
kicking and catching punts, laughter
picking out the soggiest footballs he
could find.
Harvard has had practically no wet
weather work, and the practice this af-
ternoon was acceptable. Wendell was IN
the lineup more than half the time.
Bradlee instead of Lingard, took Wen
dells place when the Harvard captain
dropped out Of the play. 1t is not GER
tain. however, whether Lngard or Brad
lee will be first man to substitute in the
backfield against Dartmouth.
Brickley played all through the scrtm-
mage, and his leg showed no signs Of
weakness. Wendell did not favor his
ankle, either. but he will not play more
than one quarter in the Dartmouth game.
Trumbull, who was kicked in the head
yesterday, was at right guard all the
afternoon. and was not replaced once by
Driscoll, his substitute.
II is possible that Dana will start the
Dartmouth game at right end, instead of
O'Brien. The latter is not feeling well,
and Danas work In the Vanderbilt game
was the best done by the substitute end
rushers

AUTO NEWS OF THE DAY
No Likelihood of Car Tie-Up in
Detroit This Winter.
BID FOR VANDERBILT CUP
Suffolk County Has Good Roads
for Racing-Savannah
Again in Field.

One of the good results of the confer
ence just concluded by the National As.
sociation Of Automobile Manufacturers in
Detroit was the interest taken in il by
officials of various railroads. 1t appears
as result, that extreme efforts will DC
made In future to prevent the congestion
OF automobiles through inability to obtain
freight cars. Such a situation came up
year ago and had a rather serious ef-
feet on the industry. At some Of the De.
troit plants hundreds Of cars were stored
In the streets until the railroads could
move them.
Detroit is the greatest shipping point
in the country for automobiles, whole
trainloads going out at a time, and at
this season OF the year there is an IN
usual effort to keep production to the
limit The railroads find II difficult TO
keep cars ready at all times. but the
promises that have been made indicate
that there will be noysuch congestion as
that of last winter.
An indication of the high rate OF auto
mobile production this season may be
gained from the statement made yester-
day at the headquarters of one OF the
most prominent roller bearing houses In
the country. This firm reports that Il Is
now making efforts to supply to q big
Detroit plant the bearings that had been
ordered for next January.
Surprise has been occasioned by the an
nouncement that an effort will be made
TO bring the Vanderbilt Cup race back 10
Long Island next year. meeting is 70
be held next week, at which local dealers
will be asked to join an association for
the purpose Of returning the classic race
to It's original home, as we'll as for the
promotion Of automobile contests Of
general nature.
1t is believed that the Suffolk County
authorities will agree to furnish course
for THE Vanderbilt Cup race II the pro-
moters are willing TO guarantee the limit
Of safety to contestants and spectators.
Che OF the most successful races ever
held in the East was at Riverhead, three
years ago, when Louis Chevrolet set w
a new American road record with Buick
car The Suffolk County roads are wide
and level and are far superior for rae
ing purposes to anything on the western
end OF the island.
There IL also a report that Savannah
will be a strong bidder for the big road
races pext year, and especially for the
Grand Prize, which has already been de-
cided three times over the roads OF

hope that the international race goes
there, rather than TO an untried co-rs5.
