DENY RUMOR OF
 BRICKlEY'S INJURY
STAR GOAL KICKER AND WEN DELL WILL BOTH PLAY
 AGAINST YALE.

Cambridge Mass. Nov. 1A-Harvard had a good scrimmage yesterday af- ternoon. The. varsity played against
 the second team only for twenty rnin- 'utes. but the regulars put a lot of speed and power into their plays and scored two touchdowns.
 Yesterday the college was much con- cerned over reports that had been sent out to the effect that Capt. Wendell and Charley Brickley were in very poor shape, and that Harvard might men could go into any football game These reports were Hntrue, for both men coufud go into any football game tomorrow if necessary. Wendell is fa- vOring his ankle little. but yesterday he did some hard running to the field. and last night the coaches warned him because he was too active in the Loc- fker building. Wendell wants to lead his team against Yale and will not play very long against Dartmouth on Saturday.
 Briekiey is all right He pulled a tendon slightly in his kicking leg, but says that he thinks it was because he had been doing too much kicking. Yes terdEy he was in the back field all af- ternoon and when the Varsity made it's touch downs the ball was in Brick ley's hands each time. He and, Hard wick worked together so well in three plays that a touchdown resulted from the middle of the field, and the same set of backs later carried the ball half the length of the field again, all though it took many more plays

HOPPE BEATEN
 BY JAP WIZARD
ORIENTAL EXPERT WINS FROM BILLIARD CHAMPION IN SEN
 SATIONAL MATCH

Koji Yamada, the Japanese cue ex- pert, defeated Willie Hoppe. worlds champion, in the 1892 ba1kline billiard tournament at the Hotel Astor last night Yamada won perhaps the most sensational battle eyer fought out on the green baize table, A sensational squirt of 85 when the Boy Wonder ap- peared to have him hopelessly beaten enabled the Oriental to win by asGcore of 300 to 497.
 The game was one of the most sem sational ever seen in the United States. Despite his poor showing the previous night, the Jap started out earnestly against the champion. He displayed remarkable coolness and at almost every turn held his own with the young American wizard. Xamada showed a wonderful delicate strike and remarkable nursing ability.
 Hoppe went out to break the for eigners in the early running and showed the Oriental a run of 100. Far from daunting the Jap this seemed to spur him on to renewed determina- ton and before the end of the game YaIna,da had all the credit of the high runs, His 138 came within two of Slos- sonie 14O record for the tourney.
 Yamada showed high runs of 132, 85 and 92. Hoppe 102 and 100 The Jap's average was 22 16, 22 Hoppe'e 8. IA. 21.
 Ora Moringstar defeated Calvin De- marest in another thrilling match by the score of 800 to 439.

PITTSBURGH TO
 TAKE ON RED SOX
WORLDS CHAMPIONS WILL MEET PIRATES AT HOT SPRINGS
 IN MARCH.

Hot Springs. Ark, Nov. 14.-Treas- urer Robert B. McRoy of the Boston American league baseball club stated upon his arrival in Arkansas, Hot Springs yesterday afternoon that the worlds champions, would clash with the Pittsburgh Pirates in a three or dve-gane series in this city next March, if the arrangements appealed to Herr Barney Dreyfuss.
 McRoy is here to close with the Eastman hotel management for prop CT accommodations. The ball teams arrive when the season isY at it's height, and when the hotels are turn ing people away. The Boston mag nate is confident that he will be able to land the desired aceonYnod ations. Otherwise the Red Sox will travel further south. However. all Arkan- sas wants the champions to return in the spring and McRoy will probably succeed in getting the accommoda- Gons he wants.
 The hitch comes through Stah1 hay ing engaged special bath house for his players. That takes some 65 cents per player off the hotel bill each day and, minus the baths, the hotel peo- pie have raised the ante. This little matter will probably be strafghtened out by McRoy. He is accompanied. by his wife and baby son.

AMERICAN LEAGUE IS

That the American League has de- ve1oped a catching department which is far superior to that Of the National League is generally conceded. There are but few brilliant performers be- hind the bat In the old league. Archer Of the Cubs, and Myers of the Giants, stand out. Rresnahan and DOoin are capable, but the otherR in the old league do not amount to huch, though Kelly. of the Pirates. gives much promise.
 In the American League there ia an abundance of good catching talent Washington has three good men in Ainsnith, Henry and Williams New York boasta of two stars In Sweeney and Sterrett, while Boston has two men who oan. be depended upon in Carrigan and Cady. The greatest catcher in the league is stanage, of Detroit He is in a. class by himself Scha7k of Chfcas6 though a new conner. made decided hit last fall.

WELSH PLANS TO

English Champion Who Just Defeated
 Matt Wells, Likes United States.

It was no great surprise to followers of boxing to near that Freddle Welsh reEained the English lightweight his former conquernr. When Wells won from Welsh nearly two years ago the feat was looked upon as something when Wells came over here and de- feated K. o. Brown at tha opening of Madison Square Garden as 8 fight been misjudged and that he really was a high-cIasa boxer
 When he followed by outpointing Abe drmed. However; later events showed that Wells received more credit than was his due for beating Brown and Attell. It developed that AtteH had overrated. Outside of his defeat of Welsh it was on these two victories that Wells's reputation hung- In later bouts he proved to be no better than was at inst surmised.
 Packey Mcfarland was the first to break Wells,s bubble reputation. Wells poor showing on that occasion. and the excuse was accepted as having some thing to do with it. But when Wells was knocked down and nearly beaten by Young Brown. who was practically novice at the time, it became appar- ent that Wells was really short of be- Freddie Welsh for the bout. and in their training gallops Brown could not put a glove on the clever EngltShman. Yet he was able to hold Wells to a close decision.
 Welsh has announced his intention of returning to this country as soon as he fills a few theatrical engagements. He has already stated that he intends to become a citizen of the United States, in which case he will be forced to re1inquish the English title, as it can only be held by an Epglishman.

(By Wagner.)


 The Bridgeport club has been given an opportunity to get Outf1elder Irving Cough of New Haven Just what the terms were have not been made public but Manager McCann was assured before he left to attend the minor league meeting in Milwaukee that he could get Cough. The Me- chan1cs' manager does not look with favor upon the idea of getting veter- an players, however, He thinks it better policy to bring out youngsters at the start of the season. When the season is under way 1t may be neces- sary to secure veterans if the young sters don't make good. Last year Cough hit .251 for New Haven and stole 2S bases. He is a good fielder. The New Haven club now declares it will have an entirely new outf1e1d next season That means Pop Foster and Daschbach will go in addition to Cough.
 Harry Wodverton, who has lost his job as manager of the New York Americans, has been offered the posi- tion of manager -of the Sacramento team of the Pacific Coast league. made good with Portland of the Paci- dc Coast league, has agreed to play football with the Washington GIees of New Haven. He will be in the backfeld for the Glees next Sunday. Baker is a crack football player but to the outsider it seems that a young ster who has future in baseball is If he should be injured his whole baseball career might be spoiled.
 Yale will gain another valuable
