ONE TICKET FOR
 HARVARD CONTEST

The Yale ticket department has is- sued graduate application blanks for the Princeton game at Princeton, No vember 16, and the Harvard game at New Haven. November g. AppIica- t1ons for the Princeton game close at D. m. November A. for the Harvard game at 6 p. m., November G.
 Hne shortage of tickets for the Har- in the throwing out of 1000 names has led to a change in the method of allotment this year. For the liar ward. game no sborrowed applieations'' will be received. : That5sis every grad uate must apply in his own name for his own tickets with the Implied -un- derstanding that they are for his own use, and not to be turned over to friends
 Furthermore in order to put a pre- mium on the scaling of seats to the applicant, applications calling for a single seat will be allotted first of all. Following these vii come applications for single seats where two applicants have pinned their envelopes together, signifying that they desire their seats together
 Next will be allotted all applications calling for two seats, which is the maximum to be allowed on any one application It is hoped that by this method enough graduates will be ity so that all who apply will be able to get some kind@ of seat. The method will assure every man who is content to ask for one seat only of seeing the game while there is all ways the possibility that the applicant for two may find himself among those drawn for exclusion if the final fanaly- sis shou1 show more applications than tickets, as last year.
 For the Princeton game the old rules hold Each graduate may apply for three tickets and there is also a 'sbor- rowed application form on which those who wish to lend their applicA- tions may so signify. Personal ap- plicatfons will be allotted first. it be- ing the desire to give the best seats to Yale men and the supposition be- ing that borrowers are not Yale graduates. In general the smaller the number of tickets asked for the bet ter the allotment. Cheering section tickets are limited to one on each name and blanks may not be pinned together For the Harvard game the graduate cheering section is abolished.

HORACE FOGEL
 TO BE EXPELLED
NATIONAL LEAGUE MAGNATES DECLARE PHILADELPHIA PRES IDENT WILL BE BLACKLISTED FROM BASEBALL.

Philadelphia, Oct. 19.@Horace Fo- gel, president of the Philadelphia National League Club, is to be ex- pelled from that organization and baseball. The stockholders of the club have been told that they must prepare for this or one other alterna- tive.
 The alternative is the sale of the club The stockholders are now ready that F'ogel has put them in this posi- ton. It is said that the Elliotts' i'm terests are particularly sore at the turn affairs have taken. Two syndi- over the stock of the club. One Of them is composed largely of capital ists with unlimited means at their disposal. and are ready not only to pay a good price for the club, but also to strengthen 1t.
 Through all the difficulties that the club has passed the fact that the own CTS have got to rid themselves of Fogel is the thing that is uppermost in the minds of the men who are in terested in organized baseball. The Elliotts say that they have received an offer for their stock, but they will not mention figures as yet. William Elliott said: 8s fF~ 7. s-'~ stf
 My lips are sealed at this time. am not ready to talk. An offer has cuss what we are going to do. When we are ready we will talk, but not un- til then"
 In the meantime the Meyers syndf- President August Hermann, of the Cincinnati Club, is busy, and it is freely predicted that these German bankers will be the new. owners of the club by the time the National League meets in New York on Nov.

CONNIE MACK HAS
 PRAISE FOR STALL

Jake Stah1, the leader of the Red Sox, is the man who turned the trick for his team,'' said Connie Mack, of made them both when he sent Hen drickson and Engle up to bat for Be- dient and Wood.
 There is an old saying that a. man ager of a ball club has only one guess, the world has all the rest. Had Hen drickson failed to hit, then the fans would have figured it this way: There he has taken out great young pitch CT, who was going great, and what good did it do? Again, had Wood been hit hard the fans would have claimed that Stah1 blundered in pulling Bedient from the game. Then EngIe batted for Wood, and had he failed and the pitcher, possibly Ray Collins, had been c1ubbed. again Stah1 would have been censored. Yes.e StahI took long chance, the logical one to be sure. It took a game manager to go through with it: he did and he deserves the credit.
 s.Bedient made good, that was his first gamble. Hendrickson made good that was his second chance, then Wood made good; that was his third chance; then Engle made good, that was his fourth chance. If you ask me who won the series, who deserves the credit. I'll say J. Garland lStah1, manager of the 1912 worlds champions the Red sox. was the mighty man.

 For the past two years the demand for seats at the game has. increased four-fold and now matters have reached such a state that something must be done.

The runors regarding a change in the management of the Bridgeport baseball club were set at rest last night, when Owner John H. Freeman came to this city and had a confer ence with Manager McCann. After a long talk in which the affairs of the past season were fully discussed. McCann agreed to take charge of the club next season.
 This clears up much of the mystery that has surrounded the clubs affairs and gives McCann a chance to go out and sign some players for 1913. AL though Owner Freeman and Manager McCann are on very friendly terms it was known that the owner was not satisfied with the way things went last season.
 He made no secret of that faet and although he never at any time said McCann would not return here, the at titude of Owner Freeman caused var fous rurnors to be circulateds ..I am satisfied that the poor showing of the team was not due to any fault of Manager McCann's' says MT. Free man. He did the best he could under the circumstances and the fact that he finished third with pitcher and catcher playing in the outfield shows thai he can keep plugging under dis c01raging conditions"

SEND SIMMONS TO
 ROCHESTER CLUB
FORMER NEW HAVEN STAR TOO SLOW FOR NEW YORK
 AMERICANS. Es

George sHack'' Simmons, second baseman for the New York High flanders last season, has gone back to the minors President Farrell of the Hil1toppers announced yesterday he had sent Simmons back to Rochester. the team from which Farrell pro- cured him late in 1911. Simm ons proved to, be too slow for the big leagues. though fair fielder and bat ter.
 Had Simmons not fallen down Tn his batting at the end of the season Farrell might have retained him as substitute infieIder. Simmons bat ted over 300 in the first two months of the season, but his average fell to .234, showing that he hit below a 200 clip in the latter half of the campaign. N
 Simmons was originally procured by the Highlanders as a substitute in fielder, but the failure. of Earl Gard ner to deliver last spring compelled Wolverton to- use Simmons as his regular guardian of the rnidwaysack Simmons had had trials with the Giants and Tigers, but failed sto stick with either McGraw or Jennings.

M'CANN AND OWNER FREEMAN
 TALK ABOUT MANACERSHlP
No Change in Leader of Bridgeport Club for
 Next Season

After making a careful investiga- ton I am convinced that the team s slump was due to the fact that some members of the team did mot give the club their best services. There was a lot of indifferent playing and those players won't get much considerable from me next season. "
 The indifference to which the owner referred was undoubtedly displayed by those who were mixed up in the Tom Crook feud. Crook was in bad with several players among them being Jack Spratt and Freddy Gibbs. This dissension denora1ized the team and put Bridgeport out of the running at time when it looked like a pennant contender.
 McCann was not anxious to take charge again unless conditions were to be different from last season. He wants to be boss of the squad for he realizes that no manager can win games if another man, as in the case of Crook last season, wants to be leader.
 Crook is good individual player but from the time he became ambitious to succeed =McCann, the club went to pieces
 McCann points with pride ito the fact that he has been here three seas ons. That is q better record than any other Connecticut league manager can show z

papers claimed we quit after the Giants won couple of games but that isn't true. The Red Sox didn't quit It was simply case of the pitchers going, to pieces.
 When a club gets five or six runs from your pitcher as the Giants did against O'Brien and Wood in the Monday and Tuesday games, why the beans are spilled! The Boston players were in there doing their best but the Giants had too much of lead. One thing they have to give the Sox credit for and that is .steadiness. The boys, in contrast with the Giants, stayed on the ground all the time and that qua1- ity gave us the series''
 ttThe Giants deserve a lot of credit. They are a brilliant, hard hitting team but it was simply a case of some of their players cracking under the strain. My finger that was injured in the latter part of the season, isn't we'll yet Manager Stahl put me in to bat in one game just so I could say I was in the series but I couldn't hold a bat and I took my three swings
 Next week MT. and Mrs. Ball will crank up their auto and take MT and Mrs Clark on trip to Pennsylvania where they will visit relatives in Scranton. Neal says that worlds ser ies money will buy a few gallons of gasolene for the car.

KID WILLIAMS
 DEFEATS COULON
BANTAAdwEIGHT CHAMPION LOS ES ON POINTS TO WIHRL-
 WIND FROM BALTIMORE.

Tn 8 bout that fairly bristled with
 speed and cleverness on the part of
 both contestants Kid Williams of Bal timore gained the honors over Johnny
 Coulon, holder of the bantanweight title, in ten rounds at Madison
 Square Garden, New York, last night. The Baltimore youngster, showing the
 best form he has yet exhibited forced the going from the start. and. with his speed, strength. and aggressiveness kept the champion on the defensive. At the close of ten rounds the honors belonged to the youthful Southerner, but the margin of victory was not very great.
 the bantamwe limit of 116 pounds. so the bout carried championship aspect though the title could not out. Coulon carries his title today for the reason that no decisions are al- lowed in New York State. Johnny en- tered the ring last night much below his usual weight the ringsfde weigh ing in showing him at Ill 1-2 pounds in ring costume. Williams weighed 115
 From the start there was no sign of nervousness on Williams part such as might be expected from a. youngster of limited experience in the ring when ed campaign like Coulon. Williams bore an air of seriousness all the way. He showed no inclination to give ground or to be feinted into openings
 
 force him into. All through the bout he showed good judgment, let Coulon feint until his arms were tired, and when he was ready to lead, he did so. The bout was such as might be ex- pected from a pair of speedy veterans rather than a youngster against 8 champion.
 Cou1on, although outpointed, showed that he still is a postmaster in ring sci ence, and he made up in ring craft much of what he lacked in strength. His showing was hardly up to the standard of his other bouts of late years and it created the impression among those who saw the bout that Coulon's star is setting He fought hard all the way showed flashes of briliancy at times that made Williams appear at disadvantage, but they were only flashes. Against the strength and steady attack of the Southerner Coulon could not keep up the work we'll enough to stay in front. He gave the best he could. and the best was not enough.
 There was no stage of the bout when either boxer was in distress, and nothing like a knockdoWn occurred. Tn fact, neither boxer received a blow hard enough to make him stagger. Not a drop of blood was shed by either It was a high class exhibition of scientific boxing between the boys, who rank at the head Of the bantam weight division, and produced as much clever work as could be crowded into ten rounds

 Neal Ball, the local boy who is a. member of the Boston Red Sox, champions of the world, arrived home late this afternoon from Boston, He and Mrs. Ball made the trip by auto mobile and said they had a fine time on the road. In accordance with their GUS tom for the past five years, Mir and Mrs. Ball will spend the winter with NeaI's parents-in-law, MT. and Mrs. George Clark of Connecticut ave- nue.
 The ball player was well pleased with his luck at being connected with a worlds champion team not only for the glory but also for the financiaI re- turns. He had a check for $4,024 and a few cents, which is his share of the proceeds of the worlds series with the Giants.
 ..I was treated fine by the Red sox'' said Neal, Manager Stahl is 8 fine man to work for and all the players like him. I know was pretty lucky to go from Cleveland to Boston in mid-season and then get in on the big money. But that's part of the game.

WHITE SOX WIN
 TITLE FROM CUBS
sLAUGHTER NATIONAL LEAGU- EE3S IN FINAL GAME AND
 CHANGE QUITS FIELD.

Chicago. Oct. 1S.-The Chicago American League team won the city Cubs one of the worst trimmings the West Side talent ever received The score was IS to O.. The White Sox started to make runaway race of the game right off the reel, scoring one run in the first inning and two more In the second In the tiaird roaTsd they put eight tallies over the plate on nine hits. The final resuIe of the series was four games to three.
 P Ed Walsh pitched for the American Leaguers, and held the Cubs toa five Of this number Fred EToney, who fin lshed the game, was. the only one who showed any class. Only one hit twas made off him.
 i. Lavender started the game, but was hit so consistently that he gave way toSmith Reulbach was quickly sent to relieve Smith, and then Leideld, the southpaw, was rushed to the rescue. After the Sox had piled up sixteen runs. Toney was sent in. He suc- ceeded in stopping the slaughter, but running the bases and took things easy in the rest of the game. E The lop-sided score left bad taste in the mouths of the fans. and many are saying the Cubs quit. It is fact that the West Siders did not show any fight such as they displayed in the pre- vious games. On the other hand, it is argued that ball players. are not going to quit when a victory would have meant several hundred dollars more in each mans pocket.
 But despite all arguments to the contrary, the slaughter caused all sorts of adverse comment here. Many bugs insisted that the Cubs were trying to get even with Murphy for his asper- sions of the team during the recent controversy over the drink clause, which the Cub boss will insist upon being inserted in each contract.
 Lavender started on the firing line for the Cubs and was hammered for three runs in two innings. Charlie Smith was the next victim. The Sox touched him for three straight hits and then Reulbach was hammered for eight runs in the fourth inning. Lei field was next. The Sox continued their bomb bardment, making three runs in the fifth. Toney then came on and the Sox got only one more hit in the rest of the game.
 Walsh pitched magnificent ball and the only chance. the Cubs had for any thing that looked like sa1run was after the game was lost, and then Walsh didn't let one of them cross the plate.
 The slaughter so disgusted Mana ger Chance that, after the fifth in- ming, he went to the club house with the four pitchers who were knocked out of the box, and four substitutes, donned his street clothes and went home.
 The first two gamessof the series re- suited in ties. Then the Cubs won three games, but the Sox came back and took four in a. row.
