OF the Importance OF one with either
Princeton or Harvard.
Most Yale men would prefer to have
their team defeated this year by either
Harvard or Princeton than by West
Point, for the boast of the army that
they won from Yale for three seasons
in succession. which victory this sea-
son would assure. is one that none of
Yale's football rivals, one either Har-
yard nor Princeton, can make. The
Yale coaches have, therefore, developed
their eIevens h fall with the army
game In mind equally with the Harvard
and the Princeton matches. Secret
practice was ordered in September, es-
tablishing a new record for closing the
gates, and 1t has been continuous fol-
the last two weeks, something that has
never happened before.

JOHNSON TIRES
OF SIMPLE LIFE
THE DUsKY CHAMPION AGAIN
sIGHs FOR THE JOYS OF EXCITE
MENr AND HAS MADE UP HIS
MIND TO JOURNEY no AUSTRALIA
FOR CONTESTS.

According to Jack Johnson's latest
u~tterRnces he has become weary OF
leading h simple life and for no nth
er reason has made up his mind to re-
turn to the ring. The big black de-
Fclares that he cravea excitement, n
not finding 1T in the cafe business has
decided to return to the more lively oc-
cupation at which he has been so sue
Ecesstul For q time he says, he found
a FEW thrills in cracking the speed
limit with his big car, but now he has
about exhausted the possibilities in
this direction, and such simple pleas
ureS have begun to pail.
It has long been Johnson's ambition
to shine as a pilot of a car in one OF
the big races. He has repeatedly tried
to break down the wall of prejudice
The racing authorities remain irm in
their stand to refuse his entry, and the
best johnson has beer able to do is to
tune UP his car when the r was
not occupied by the licensed drivers.
johnson also declares that recent
events have made him become tired OF
Chicago and he is anxious to go
abroad again. He Will even dispose of
his place of business IL he can get a
suitable offer. II nothing comes Of the
negotiations with w. c.. Kelly to make
the trip to Australia johnson says he
will try for a match In Paris.
But with all his expressed disgust at
his present environment johnson has
not become so reckless as to neglect to
demand a fancy price for his services.
Nor have his troubles caused him
to lose any weight. He appears to scale
at least $50 pounds and is packing on
flesh steadily. Whether he is serious
in declaring that he liz willing to take
on Langford and McVey in Australia
remains to be seen. He has been SO
prodigal OF statements that contained
little fact that those who know him
pay little attention to his war talk.
But 1t is very evident that he lis be-
coming restless and Is looking for a
chance OF some kind. No doubt he
would jump at a chance TO meet anoth-
err opponent of the Jim Flynn type.
But whether he is reckless enough to
go through the long training grind
necessary to meet an opponent OF
Langford's caIibre Is extremely doubt
full.

the red sox found the two ~contenders
for the championship honors with the

on a double into the bleachers by Muir
ray and a hit by Merkle to center which
Speaker tuggled.
Hundreds of fans tore their score

grounds, for Matehwson was pitching a
game hat baffled the batsman Of Bos-
ton,
Engle led of for the red sox in the
last half of the tenth, He had gone to
bat for Joe Wood and there was a
groan when the red sox pinch hitter
sent UP a towering fly to left center.
~Snodgrass moved toward the bleacher
seats and waited for the ball to drop.
He muffed 1t and before the ball was
recovered Engle was on second base.
No one was put and the crowd was In a
frenzy of JOY. Hooper tried to sacri-
ice but Mathewson fouled him and the
best the red sox right gardner could
do was to fly to Snodgrass.

Devore's hands. Indian Meyers crouch

expected from Devore. Instantly he

Mathewson, who saw the throw
of the little leftfielder to be wide,
threw up his hands and Meyers
turned away. without trying for the
ball, Yerkes did not know the
throw was wide. however. and
plunged headformost and slid over
the plate in a cloud of dust with
the run that won the worlds cham
pionship for the red sox.
The crowd fairly screamed In a de-
lerium. Men threw hats in the air and
cheered until they could cheer no more.
Hundreds rushed upon the field and
gathered about the red sox bench and
appiauded the winning players.
Mathewson buried himself in his
great coat and walked from the field.
Scores of persons followed the pitcher
and patted him on the back, congrat-
ulating him upon his fine work.

Yerkes walked on four balls. With
Engle on second m Yerkes on first,
Speaker came up. The crowd to a man
was yelling, when Speaker swung the

and 1t fell between three fielders. Wag-

balls and later scored on q two-base

which he varied with a sweeping out
drop, and after Deyore's tally there
was no more scoring for New York un-
til the tenth. Murray cracked one of
Woods swift ones into the bleachers

The second cottage to go up in
smoke on the Herbert w. Bowen es-
tate in Woodstock during the present
month was destroyed by a fire that
broke out early Wednesday morning.
SO rapid was the spread of the flames
that Mrs. Charles League of Calves
ton, Texas, who was occupying the
cottage for the summer, was forced to
leap to the ground from the roof of
the one story veranda to save her life,
as did her woman companion. Mrs.
League was slightly injured but the
companion escaped with a shaking
up.
A servant in the employ of Mrs.
League discovered the fire, which it
is believed may have been caused by
spark from an open fire which had
been built the night before to take
away the chill of the house during
the evening.
A neighborhood brigade, hastily as
sembled by means of telephone warn
ings of the trouble, made every effort
with the facilities at hand to check
the progress of the flames, but were
unable to save the building.
Mr.. Bowen, formerly United States
minister to Venezuela, occupied the
cottage during the past winter. The
losses Of the fire include the greater
part of his furnishings in the cottage,
fine library and a collection of Gu
rios from many quarters Of the globe
and Of much value.
1t is understood that the loss on the
cottage and furnishings is partly COW
cred by insurance.
