the former Giant pitcher, and the
suspension for the balance of the
season of Chief Bender and Rube Old
ring by the patient Connie Mack fur
nish food for reflection.
Bugs" Raymond might have been
one Of the greatest pitchers in the
world today. He might have been one
OF the highest salaried men in the
game He would certainly have fig
ured. in the worlds series last fall, and
perhaps in the big conflict next month,
had he been as much master of himself
as he was master OF big league bats
men. At a time when the baseball
world might have been talking of him
vi tn feyer1sh interest, he dies alone
and PROBABLY destitute, remembered
more for his idiosyncrasies than for his
skin. ----.'.-...
John J. NIcGraw considered RAYMOND
a remarkable pitcher. For that reason
the Giant chief took him when few 9TH
ers wanted the cratic spit baller: for
that reason McGraw exercised extraor-
binary patience with the big fellow.
II will be remembered that McGraw
even employed & keeper for RAYMOND.

where near filling their own stadium,
there is good reason to believe that
negotiations for such a game will soon
be started, if they have not been al
ready.
YaIe's New Stadium.
If the Yale stadium actually seats
60. 900 persons as planned. it will be
by far the largest in America At
present the Harvard stadium is the
most capacious, seating. about 10000
persons when the temporary stand at
the north end of the stadium is up.
The Yale management proposes to
have its field some 20 feet below the
present level 1t is argued that its
construction thus viii make 1t easier
to drain the field and cheaper Of erec-
ton.
Although the statement is entirely
unofficial, it is said that Yale intends
to offer the use of the new stadium
to the Army and Navy football teams
for their annual game Yale men
think il will solve the perennial diff

developing high-class ends. will once
more have charge of the candidates
for these positions.
Another Big Game for Yale.
From the Yale management comes
the report that next year the Ellis Will
take on at least one new big opponent
By that time the new stadium, capa-
BILE of seating $4,000 spectators, will
have been completed According to
the present schedule Princeton is the
only big team which meets Yale at
New Haven in 1913, the Harvard-Yale
game taking place at Cambridge. The
Ellis are considering sending an in
vitation to either Cornell or the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania among the
eastern colleges, or, if it is decided
that neither one of these is available,
Chicago University will be considered
Yale men seem to think that they can
play at least one more big team
If Yale does actually schedule an
other team of her own rank il win be
a radical departure from the attitude
the Ellis have maintained heretofore.

New Rules WIN Help.

A belief prevails at New Haven that
this years rules will be particularly
beneficial to Yale. also that the Ellis
coaches will make more out of them
borne out by the fact that Yale men
have held a number of conferences
during the summer on the new rules
and the tactics which ought to be fol-
lowed. Tom Shevlin, who has given
Yale most of her new plays for the
last three years, has some new ideas
which he thinks will be useful To
that end he brought number of Yale'S
leading authorities and captain Spald-
ing to his home in Minneapolis where
a number of summer conferences were
held on the subject of the new rules.
1t is also reported that number Of new
plays made possible by the 1912 rules
were tried out in this hastily provised
laboratory.
The feature of the new rules which
pleaseS Yale more than anything else
is the granting of an extra down in
which to make 10 yards. Yale men see
in this amendment not so much a like
lihood that it will mean resumption
OF the old line smashing tactics as
that it will give the quarterback a
better opportunity to try out his Of
Tense They also assert what all foot
about the proper equilibrium between
the offense and the defense.
How Summer Work Is Done.
On the subject of preliminary prac-
tice it should not be supposed that all
the big universities are as inactive as
present reports would indicate. AS a
matter of fact, the practice has existed
at number of big universities to con-
duct summer work in various camps.
Every football candidate who wishes is
given a football when he leaves in
June in order that he may practice
kicking, etc, during the summer. Then
again football men from certain col
leges have a way of meeting during the
summer at various camps or seaside
resorts where they take exercise in
football training. This, of course, is
nobodys business, but may explain to
some extent the apparent reluctance
OF some colleges to begin work the
first week in September.
On the subject of preliminary prac-
tice colleges of the middle west are at
a disadvantage If they belong to the
intercollegiate Conference Association.
This association was the first to take
definite action on the subject by pass
ing rule prohibiting any of its mem
TENDER Is. Such rule could not be
enforced in the east for the reason
that the east has no central associa-

Harvard Meets Sept. L.
Coach Percy B. Haughton of Harvard
has called the crimson candidates to-

a splendid nucleus of last years vet
Grams with which to start this season
In addition, coach Haughton has got
together the best staff of coaches seen
at Cambridge in a good many years.

fact the writer has always maintained
that it was Howe's generalship more
than captain Coy's individual brilliancy
that was responsible for Yale's tremen-
douS successes in 1909. As a field gen.
eral Howe has had few equals and he
ought to be eminently successful as a
coach.
Then. too, Yale has captain in
Spalding who seems well fitted for a
leader. He was a high class player
last year and has already introduced
number of Innovations, at least for
a captain. He was mainly RESPONSE
bic for the unusually long and severe
spring practice which the Yale candi-
dates had last April That practice
nouncement of the new rules. Capt
Spalding's idea was that the men
should have the rule so thoroughly
mastered before the fall work begun.
Just what was accomplished can not
be told until the season is well started
but all those in authority were enthu-
siastic over the results obtained.
Good Material This Year.
Yale is abundantly blessed with good
material for this years team OF last
years veterans the Ellis retained Capt
Spa1ding, Camp, Dunn and Freeman for
the back field. With the exception of
ex-captain Howe il is practically the
same quartet that won the blue last
year. In the line Keteham is back at
center and Sheldon and Mommisler, the
two veterans. are back for end In
addition to them there are two good
men in Avery and Gallauer. The most
serious problem the coaches will have
TO solve is that of finding two compe-
tent tackles and guards. The fresh
man class, however, will provide
number of high-claSs men, and it is
a notable fact that Yale is never at a
loss for big men.
To take ex-captain Howe's place at
quarterback the Yale coaches think
very highly of Cornell, the former Exc
ter man. Cornell was probably the
best all-around athlete in the freshman
class last year. Besides being a good
football player, he was a 10-Second man
on the track. Particular attention was
devoted to him during the spring prac-
tice

CALLING OUT LARGE CROWDS
The Evangelistic Meetings at the
Roller Rink Are Being Largely
Attended-Program for the Fol-
lowing Week.

The Union Evangelistic meetings
are continuing this week with a
greater interest which is apparently
deepening steadily.
Mr.. Birch Is a forceful speaker
with a message which appeals espe-
cially to men, and it is reported
that many more of them are now
attending than when the meetings
began.
He assails evils forcefully, yet
with a perfect respect for people,
though at times it is plainly EVIL
dent there is little credit for some
of the things some people do. :
The chorus which the singer, Prof.
Carr. has assembled is large and do
ing excellent work. Last Sunday
evening, at which time the building
was practically filed. male chorus
of some 16 to 20 voices sang a num-
Der of selections greatly pleasing the
people.
Next Sunday the Sunday schools
will meet in the churches at 1890
in the morning, and forming in pro-
cession march to the Roller Rink,
where union meeting will be held
with an address by Mr.. Birch, and
singing by Mr.. Carr.
At in the afternoon a mems
meeting with address by the Evange-
list. And at 1880 in the evening the
evangelistic meeting will be held. II
the weather is at all pleasant Sun
day the Rink will be filled entirely.
Next week is full of special fea-
lures, there being one for each
evening in the week. Monday is Fra
ternal Society Night, at which time
the Civic Societies will most of them
be represented by large attendance
of their members. Tuesday is Social
Night, Wednesday Mill Workers
Night, Thursday is Railway Night,
when the railway men will attend In
large numbers. Friday is Iron and
Steel Night. appropriate to our COR
ner of the state. Saturday is Auto
mobile Night, and the weeks work
closes with q large union mass meet
ing Sunday morning following with
several speakers.
Evangelist Birch breaches at all
the evening services, and Professor
Carr will sing and have charge of
the music in all services.
A children's meeting is also to be
