TAKING COAT OFF

Concrete Illustrations Of What
Protective Tariff R8aIIy Means.
CAUSE WORKERS TO Think.

Iniqulties of the Payre-AIdrlch Act,
Tafts "Best Law Ever" Strikingly

Concrete examples Of how a protec

lot of thinking nowadays. He is be-
ginning to understand whether it is not
about time to call a halt on the Re
publican practice of taxing the coat off
his back and threatening him with the
loss of his shirt and his socks If he
does not submit.
All through the present tariff law,
passed by a Republican congress and
indorsed by Republican president as
THE BEST TARIFF BILL EVER
PASSED, are to be found discrimina-
tons, the higher duty On the cheaper

 Coach Yale Team
Capt. Spalding Favors Man Now Located In This
 City

Capt. Jesse Spalding has not yet ap- pointed a head coach for the Yale football team this fall. He would have appointed Arthur Howe if Howe would accept the appointment, but the captain of last falls team is not desirous of coach 'ng and has been dis suaded by members of his family. Athletics have not been good for Cap tain Howe and he was sick a great part of the ia. l. Captain Howe would have been an ideal coach, as he com bined a thorough knowledge of the game with a quality of inspiring he men to action. He and Spafding would have been a great comb bination with the team But Howe's people do not wish to have him become head coach and the probabilities are that he will not return. Another pro pect is McDevitt, but it is also stated that McDevitt does not wish to come back because of plans to study law. Fran cis may come back as assistant, but would not be head coach.
 Those in c:ose touch with ath'et- ics at Yale think that John W. Field, who was head cCach for Arthur H w s's team, may come back next fall and coach. Field is living in Bridgeport, and if he could arrange his business satisfactorily would probably accept the appointment in the hope of turn ing out a winning team. There is some little talk that Frank Hinkey may be asked to come lack and be head coach. This wou'd mean a re- turn to oldtime football, as much as is possible under the new rules.

GREAT INTEREST SHOWN

Italian Wrestler to Meet Ol- sen at Park City Rink Next Wednesday Night.

If the universal interest which has been shown in the wres ling matches at the Park City rink next Wednes- day is the proper criterion, there won't be room enough to take off an over coat in the rink when Wednesday rolls around A great demand for tickets has already been noticed, and sources. For the benefit of the sport ing public, it is announced that tic kets will be placed on sale this after noon or early Monday morning.
 Manager Lagner of the rink de- clared today that the seats will be placed upon sale at popular prices. He expects that the rink will be crowded with the many adherents of Raicevich. the Italian champ-on and Neil olsen, the "Great Dane.'=
 Giovanni Raicevich is the man who is casting longing glances at the su- premacy of Frank GOtch in the wrest- ling game. After making such a for midable showing against the Polish champion. ZbySzko. and hoping to de- feat the lat CT when they meet again in New York this month the husky Italian hopes to secure a match with Gotch the giant farmer.
 He is a glutton for hard work and thinks that work is the only thing ancients who practiced at throwing bulls over their shoulders. Raicevich works out with heavy weights in most of his practice stunts. His almost ter ribIe strength is a result of this. hut with all his great and gigantic strength he retains a suppleness and youtheul vigor which makes him a real champion. He is the ideal physi- cal man.

 It was announced this morning that John H. Freeman has bought the in terest of George F. Corbett in the Bridgeport baseball club and is now the sole owner of the local franchise. He will retain H. Eugene McCann as manager and the latter will receive a percentage of the profits in addition to his salary as manager.
 Doc Scanlon, the Philadelphia Ma tional league pitcher and Tom Daly, the old Brooklyn second baseman, were anxious to buy the franchise. They offered S1O,000 and it was the receipt of this offer that prompted McCann to hurry to New York a few days ago. He talked with scanlon and Daly and found they were ready to put up the coin.
 Then McCann went to see Freeman. He said the Brooklyn men were on the level with their offer an6 it was good chance to sell the club if Free man wanted to get rid of his holdings. Freeman replied that he hated to part with the franchise because as na- tive of Bridgeport. he had a certain pride in owning the club. He said he was willing to buy Corbett's in terest providing McCann would agree to remain as manager and take entire charge of the club.
 Freeman does not pretend to know anything about baseball and in fact his other business interests allow him no time to devote to the local teams absolute charge of the players and a ttend to all business matters of the club McCann will have a few shares of stock. just enough to- entitle him to

Yale Man Says They Hurled Coarse and BoOrish
 Remarks

New Haven. Feb. 3-Stinging charges that "rooters" of the American Olym- pie team were ruder in their conduct than the occupants of the 25-cent bleachers at the Poo Grounds were made in the Yale Alumni Weekly, Thursday night, by Schuyler Merritt Meyer, of 7S East Fffty-fifth street, New York city. He Is an old Yale pitcher. He said in part:
 As soon as the games began a so- called American section was formed in the stadium. It was the section of the arena set apart by the British committee for the competitors of all nations, and was intended for their eX elusive use. But it was not long before it was monopoiized by Ameri- cans, 'hee' 'ers' of the team, who made themselves obnoxious on the sSN eets and~ip the cafes os London at night and howled encoura cement to the ath- let $ of the United States and impre- cations upon the English at the sta dium by day
 The language and buffoonery of the 25-cent bleachers at the Polo Grounds on a Chicago-New York day is refined and Chest erfieldian when compared to the coarse and boorish remarks hurled at the judges and referee in the stadium by those self appointed representatives of the Unit ed States
