TRIBUTE TO
 GREAT INDIAN PLAYER

%4L have seen all the great ball play CTS of the present time" says Arman- do Marsans, the Cuban outheIder of the Cincinnati Reds, and former Con- necticut 1eaguer. "But I give you my word that the greatest I ever looked upon was an Indian named Canel1a.
 ttCane1la was of a, strange Indian race that is supposed to be extinct- the Silboneys of Cuba. Canel1a, who cannot be over 27, came out a few years ago, and at once became the marvel Of Eastern Cuba. He was a pitcher and a star on the slab, but he was also batsman, a lightning base runner and a clever outhe1der
 American clubs took 1t for grant ed that he was a negro and did not sign him. Finally some influential Cuban manager succeeded in making an American magnate understand that Cane11a was no negro, and all was ar ranged for his fryout in the coming spring. And then came the news that Canella's arm was gone.
 "Going home for a visit Canel1a saw the young men of the tribe prac- ticing throwing the javelin. Picking up a slender spear he hurled it with all his mAght-and something went snap, crack. in his upper arm as he accustomed to throwing the baseball gave way when he tried to throw the spear, and never since has Canel1a been able to throw a ball from the pitching slab as far as the catcher"

Farrell turned over to Wolverton last spring strong club and expect ed them to cut a big figure in the American league pennant pursuit, but the team never was in the running. He did not expect the club to win the flag. but he had every reason to be- Heve that it would finish among the first four
 Farr e1l admits that rnishaps to the players interfered with the teams suc- cess, but figures that with some of the new men he procured Wolverton should have obtained good results. As the season wore on 1t WAS plain to the fans that the Highlanders were doom cd to be among the trailers, despite all of Farrelfs efforts to increase their strength.
 Farrell spent money freely in order to aid Wolverton, but no matter how much new material he acquired there was no Improvement. The final month Of the campaign was the most disas- trous month of the season and Farrell became discouraged
 Farrell gave no inkling as to Vol verton's successor Whether he has some one in view or is expecting to sign some prominent available man ager could not be learned. All Far rell would say was that in due time he will sign a man who, he thinks, will make a good manager and will be satisfactory to the thousands of followers of the Hfgh1andere.
 It is not believed that he has any chance to get either Chance or Bresna- han even granting that these men could get out of the National League.

HARVARD TO STOP AT
 TAFT BEFORE GAME

The Harvard varsity football squad the players, substitutes, coaches. train CTS and managers, mum bering about 50 men, will not stop at the Country club in Pennington before the Yale game in New Haven as they did two years ago and four years ago but will stop at the Hotel Taft in New Haven and practice at Yale field two morn ings before the game. The Harvard manager has had difficulty in securing accommodations for the men.
 He tried to make arrangements with the Elton Hotel in Waterbury to have the squad stop there for two days before the game but Manager Judd said that the hotel could not accom- modate such a number at that time as all of the rooms were engaged. Last year the Princeton team remained at home until the night before the game when the squad was taken to Bridge port and put up at the Straetfield Two years before that the team was at the Country club in Pennington and two years before that the Tigers put the finish polish on the practice at Norfolk, this state.

HARRY WOLvERTON WILL NOT
 MANAGE NEW YORK NEXT YEAR
Owner Farrell Dissatisfied With Affairs.
 Won't Renew Contract

Harry Wolverton will not manage the New York Hishlanders next sea- son. This was made plain last night when President Frank Farrell an- nounced that he declined yesterday afternoon to renew Wolverton's con- tract.
 FarralI and Wolverton met in the offices of the New York club and after a long conference in which the cam paign of the Hgh1anders was review ed from every angle, Farrell told Vol ver1on he did not care to sign the manager for next year.
 While Farrell would make no fur ther announcement, it Is known In baseball circles that he was dfssatis- fed with Wolvertons handling of the team and thinks that better results should have been obtained from the material Wolverton had at his com mand.
 It Is true that woIverton was han dIcapped by the many accidents which befell the players, but at that it is reasoned that he should have piloted the team across the finish line in higher position than eighth.
 Farrell obtained many new men during the aeason, but the team went from bad to worse, and of it's last twenty-five games lost about twenty
 These defeats came despite the fact that near the end Of the campaign the team was believed to be- stronger than it was at any other time during the season except in the first few weeazs-

Local Situation
HANK O'DAY HAS RESIGNED PLACE
 IN CINCINNATI

Cincinnati, Nov. 7-Hank O'Day, the manager Of the Cincinnati team during the past season and the man who plac- ed the Reds in the first division, now comes out with the announcement that he will not be a candidate for the place in 1913. He claims that the Red Legs are in need of playing manager, and for that reason does not see chance for himself.
 His letter is as follows:
 I have noticed in reading the daily papers that you now have a, possible opportunity of securing a p1ayer-man- ager, and knowing that you and oth- CTS of your Board of Directors have been strongly inclined toward making the experiment of employing a. playing instead of a. non-playing manager, and mindful of your kindness and uniform fair treatment to me while in your employ, I wish to step aside so that may In no manner be an embarrass-
 Therefore I respectfully offer my resignati tion as manager of your club and ask that you drop my name from any further consideration for the posi- ton.
 Again thanking you and your Board Of Directors for the consideration and support they gave me during my term my best wishes for the future success of the team and club, am,
 Yours faithfully,
 It looks now as though Hank would return to the umpire's field. Players say he would be a valuable addition to the corps of arbiters in either one of the big leagues.
 Hank has announced thai he would not return to the National League as an umpire. He said he had received offers from President Ban Johnson of the American League who offered him a fat salary to go with that organiza- tfon. It is likely that he will go with the American Leaguers.

FRANK CHANGE OR
 SHECKARD WILL MANAGE BROOKLYN

Although the opinion is general that Bill Dahlen will be retained as man ager of the Brooklyn team, there | is a feeling in some quarters that either Frank Chance or Jimmy Sheckard will pilot the Superbas. in 1918. President Ebbets yesterday reiterated his state ment that Chance will not manage the SuperbaS. Ebbets also wiped Bresna- han off the Hist of eligibles, having waived claim to his services
 When Ebbets was asked if he had made any deals with Charles F. Taft and Charley Murphy last week in Brooklyn he replied: ssNo, there were no deals made or talked about, There is a. rumor, however, to the effect that Taft has bought or promised to buy stock in the Brooklyn club, and that deal is under way whereby Chance or Sheckard will come to Brooklyn.
 Though Taft and Murphy ostensibly were in Brooklyn to inspect the Eb- bets Field Stadium, it is known that the Foge1 matter was discussed and it also is thought that the Brooklyn managerial question came in for some consideration.
 Ebbets might have been making his recent anti-Chance remarks for the purpose of striking better bargain with Murphy. Certainly, if Rbbete let it be known that he is after Chance Murphy would not let the peerless leader go on easy terms. On the other hand, if the Taft Murphy combine has acquired an interest in the Brooklyn club, Ebbets' anti-Chance talk could not have been made for bargain pur- poses

DEFEAT OF CARPENTER
 SAD BLOW TO FRENCHMEN
His Manager Hurt Boxers Chance
 By Poor Matchmaking.

The defeat of Georges Carpentier. the idol of France, by Billy Papke, coming as it did on the heels or tn the sad blow to the boxing enthusiasts of France. Accounts of the bout in English papers just received state that Carpentier's followers were Saddened to an extent hardly to be realized abroad.
 Carpentier is a national .1nstitutfon count of his success in the ring that boxing became the rage. He was hero, a demigod, and the enthusiastic From the various opinions expressed about Carpenters prowess- by Anglo Saxon critics not swayed by preju- dice or sentiment, it would appear boxer above the average. It IS the opinion in England that if he had hard matches he would now be one of the finest prospects in the ring for the heavyweight championship. But poor matchmaking threatens to ruin
 Carpenter is only 19 years old and still growing. Yet he has been sent against two of the most sturdy mid dleweights in the ring in quick suc- cession for long distance bouts. Prac- tically all his bouts have been for twenty rounds. for that matter. Ex- perience has proved again and again that youngster cannot retain good form after being subjected to the gruelling strain of long distance bouts The handlers of Carpenter are now fearing this lesson, although a trifie late for their idols advantage.
 Carpenter has relinquished all claim to mfddleweight honors. After a long rest he will next maye his ap- pearance in the heavyweight division. Already he has accumulated $50,00 in his comparatively few bouts-a fact that demonstrates his remarkable and drawing power. He is am bilious and still has hopes of sat- isfyipg his admirers by attaining the heavyweight championship.

Holl1ster, one of the substitute ends, kicked two goals from the field, one drop kick clearing the bar from the flfteen-yard line and the next kick scoring from bhe thirty-five yard line.

He seemed badly hurt, and the coaches have s9r7a4 hopes that he will be able to play again this fall.

PRACTICE OF VARSITY ELEVEN FEATURED BY WORK OF CAPT. sPALDING AND ARNOLD. CAM DIDATE FOR GUARD.

work over that of the day before, the Yale varsity football men engaged in another day of hard practice yesterday afternoon behind closed gates. This time the playing was more satisfac- tory to the coaches and the signals which went badly the day before were much better yesterday. There was great improvement in the work of the team despite the fact that Ya1e's best ground gafner, Lefty Flynn. was not at the heid, being tied up with rect- tations. Dick Baker played in his place the greater part of the scrim- mage, being replaced later by Markle.i
 Captain fSpalding showed to better advantage than he has any time this year. The work up to the first touch down was done almost entirely by him. He made three good line plunges for long gains and finally took the ball over the score. PhiFbin kicked the goal.
 In the last part of the game there was another attempt to score when Mark1e barely missed goal from a drop kick. Arnold replaced Cooney at guard yesterday with first string men, though Cooney was put in before the scrimmage was over. Arnold and Pen d1eton are developing into a pair Of very good guards.
