Harvard 10 to 8 Favorite Over

$4,000 VIII Witness Game
BY W. j. McBeth. >

NEW HAVEN, CONN, Nov. 28.-
" With the Eastern champion
ship at stake the prospect of
witnessing one OF the most thrilling
and desperately contested battles
in football history was the magnet
that drew $4,000 persons to this lit
tie town today for the thirty third
annual clash between Yale and
Harvard
1t was a typical college crowd,
recruited from every state in the
nation. that filled the hotel to its
capacity or paraded the gaily dec
Grated streets during the hours
preceding the game. Mothers, wives.
sisters and sweethearts of grad
yates and under graduates of both
institutions. together with pretty
college girls, all CARRIED in multi
colors lent brightness to the scene
The day was bright and clear
with little wind-an ideal day for
the blue ribbon event of the 1912
football season. The field was dry
and fast.

George Burns, Giant Youngster,
Rapidly Developing Into Star

Bat Burns is a very wise youth. He
is not addicted to a WHOLE lot Of
conversation. but does plenty OF
thinking. He is in line with Otis
CIandal on talk, and it is his retr-
ing disposition that keeps him
somewhat in the background as re-
CARDS nashiness.
Excellent Base Runner.
Burns eNcels at base running. He
is nearly as fast on the bases as
Shatev or Devore, and they are
some speed boys. He has never
reached the coveted 800 mark as
hitter, but he stands up well at the
plate and has a good eye. He is a
free hitter and is a difficult man to
size up at bat, for he hits to all
fields. An opposing player can not
LAY" for him with any degree of
certainty. This is strong point,
too.
Burns is a short, stout youngster.
being five feet seven inches in
height, ana weighs l70 pounds. He
is very active though. and brimful
of ginger. In fact. he is a McGraw
style of player from head to feet.
Utica, \. Y. was the city in
which Burns first attracted the at
tention of big league scouts in 1911,
and Sadie" Mcmahon who was
star pitcher for the old Baltimore
Orioles when McGfaw was a mem

II GORGE BURNS. one of the
II Giants second string of out
flelders, has the stuff in hiu
to make big league sta Il given
the opportunity.
What few chances he has had to
show since he joined the team
demonstrated that he has class
enough to warrant his being re-
tanned on the clubs roster And
the fact that Manager McGraw has
held ON to the youngster is evil
dence enough of his ability.
During the early part of last sea-
son Burns was put in as pinch
hitter quite frequently and made
good nearly every time he was
called on, and for a while has
most enviable batting record He
was kept under cover more or less,
by reason of Becker, who was first
substitute outfleIder, showing very
strong when he was put out in cen

Burns, though, viii get his

p years Old he can AFFORD to wait
He was in IS games during the sea-
son of 1872, however. and that en-
titled him to a share Of the Giants
wolAd series receipts. Last season
he was given a half share, So he
has no reason to complain of his
short career i'm the major league.
He is ambitious, though. and would
be the nappiest youngster on earth
could he secure a permanent berth
on the regular team.
Often Wait Years Fer Chance.
Young recruits nowadays some
times have to warm the bench for
three or four years before they OBJ
tain the chance to show their worth
and Burns unfortunately, seems to
be doomed to face that unsatisfac-
tory situation, But it is the policy Of
McGraw and also Connie Mack to
hold back his Youngsters until they
are exactly ripe and then spring
them. Mack's success with Eddie
Collins and the sensational result
of that plan shows the benefits to
be derived from such wide hand

THE PRoSPECTOR AND THE
 MUNICIPAL DOCK.

An attempt is manifrSily being mad" ln miSr"prrSrnl the alii- Jude of the Prosprclnr in rrIa- lion tu the municipal dock. grow ing out of the fact that ihis pa per did not publish all of the cor Alaska Coast Steamship Co.'s re- fuSal to land the governments 's coal on the city wharf.
 In reporting the prorr"dlingS of inc counril, inc Prospcclor pub liShrd the letter of Ihc Post Quar- irrmaStcr, which was thr most direct charge and the cruX of tho question at issue. A brief synnp- sis of the mayors reply was giv- on. taking it.fnr granted that the people of Valdez. having conf tlrncC in their officials. would feel that their interests were be ing suhscrvcd. This apparently has moi satisfied some who evil drnlly misunderstood the posi- iinn of the ProSpector.
 In order that there may bc no mistake in the attitude of Ihis paper. in relation to the Municipal dock, let Us say, once and for all, that this paper favOrS the munir- ipal ownership of that piece of property. and ils maintenance as a safeguard against any raise in inc price of coal. insofar as the dock can regulate inc price of that commodity. As a check up- on extortionatc charges the Mu- nicipal wharf fulfills it's purpose
 The Prospcclnr. however, does nnI favor in" city engaging in the wharfage bushes. in competition with private enterprise. any more than il would iiir E unicipaliiy go- ing into Ihr drug business, inc clothing business. ihr lumber business nr any rlhrr buSir:cSS.

 We are aSSuIr,l .IlIaf there is no intention on he part of those engaged in ih" handling of coal her" In raiS" ih" price of that rOmmndily. and wr are quite rrr- lain that the city itself could not land inc same qualify of coal here, at all times. nor at any time. for ~ figure as low as il iS now be ing sold at.
 The Prosp"ctnr looks upon Inc Municipal dock as good business prop sitinn, and not as political capital: that is probably where wc differ from some of nur crit icS.
