CUBS ARE AFTER
 SLATER OF GIANTS
CHICAGO OWNER WANTS TO TRADE SEVERAL PLAYERS
 FOR UTILITY MAN.

Cincinnati. Dec. 16-Many baseball magnates will be here, several of them having already arrived Charley Mur- phy Of the Cubs got in late yesterday and will stay here until the banquet to John McGra,w, who is playing in a local theatre this week.
 Murphy, 1t is said, is after another player for his teans and is willing to make a deal with MoGraw. It is rJl- nored that he has his eye on Arthur Shafer, and that he is ready to offer several players in exchange for this promising youngster.
 Sheclard is said to be on the mar ket, but it is not likely that Murphy would part with him in exchange for Shafer alone. Joe Tinker, the new manager of the Reds. who will arrive on Wednesday for a conference with Hermann, also may make a. bid for Shafer.
 Murphy, by the way, says the Cubs have been Strength ened 20 per cent by his recent deal with the Reds.

KETCHAM TO NAME
 HIS OWN COACHES
"POP'' FOSTER IS ENGAGED BY YALE TO COACH THE BASKET
 BALL TEAM.

New Haven, Conn.,, Dec. 16.-In the plan for the revision of Yale's coach ing system for football it was made clear by Captain-eIect Henry Ketch- am yesterday that the coaches will be named by him for next year and not by anybody else.
 the other coaches Ketcham said, after a discussion with the former captains and coaches"
 This disposes of the report that the alumni at their coming banquet will talk about the need for the estab blish- ment of a system of coaching that possesses continuity will select a resi- dent head coach for term of years, or that the new athletic committed fty than it ever had before and estab- fish a new coaching system.
 The opinion is growing that there will be, for the first time at Yale, a coach chosen for a term of years, but the identity of the coach will be un- settled until after the conferences of the former captains, the probability Yale it's last champion eleven, How ard Jones and Henry Wheaton, in 1909, may be the pair selected to re- turn, although Jones has quit regu- lar football coaching.
 Jones is in business, but was at Yale part of last season. Wheaton has continued as regular coach of the Mtddies have scored victories over the Army in the last two seasons.
 One solution of the problem which is discussed is for SpaIding to be named as head coach and for Jones and Wheaton to be selected as field

coaches for a term of years. with the understanding that they shall be in absolute authority.
 Captain Ketcham's appointment of Walter Camp as his representative on the new athletic committee makes that veteran athletic adviser again representative of the football asBocla- tion, as graduate. on the commit Oddly enough last fall the football coaches did not meet in Camps house until after the game with Princeton In former seasons they have had fre- son all the conclaves were in the Ho- tel Taft, where the coaches had rooms.
 Ir is one of the odd coincidences fn Yale athletics that the recent athletic team losers all neglected to visit the Camp home for frequent conferences. This was true of the eleven explained by Charley Gould in 1901, which lost to Harvard, 21 to o. The eleven de- feated by Harvard in 1908, 4 to O. and explained by Bobby Burch, and the baseball team that was beaten by both Harvard and Princeton two years ago, explained by Pop" Corey.
 Another interesting movement in Yale athletics is a tendency to return to professional coaching. This tg manifested by the appointment of Clarence Foster as basketball coach and of William Queal as cross-coun- try team coach. Yale has now five professional oaches-John Mack fn track athletics; William Queal in cross-country running; James Byrne in hockey; "Izzy" Winters in Wrest- ling, and Pop Foster in basketball.
 There is a rumor that Captain Bios som of the baseball nine may appoint a professional coach for the pitching candidates to work with them in the cage in the early spring.
 Pop Foster, who has been chosen basketball coach, is the former base ball player. He is a graduate of New York University. where he was a star haIfback, and Is now one of the in- structors ir the Yale gymnasium.

YOSTS HAVE NO TROUBLE BEATING
 ELIZABETH TEAM
JOHN @SIAAM-THE-DOOR MAKES HIS 'FY'' WHILE HOOTERS
 WILDLY CHEER HIM.
(By Wagner

It was like the good old college Says at Yost field vester day afternoon when John Slam-the-Door made his -Y". The foghorn cries of the root CTS the shrieks of the feminine fans and the footing of the passing locomo- tive whistles, all combined to make the event noisy success Johns other name Is Boucho and he is sub stttute for Happy Jack Hughes. the Yost center.
 John had his personal crowd of ed we want Slam the-Door, Put in Slam-the-Door-'' So in the fourth period when Capt. Mccormick gave the word, John dashed from the side lines and a mighty cheer rent the afr, as they say in the Frank Merriwe ell stories The old scout arrived on the front of mass play. In summer Slam the-Door's regular occupation is that of official baseball rooter at Newfteld park.
 Getting down to brass tacks we might say that the Yosts beat Frank O'Rourke's Elizabeth N. J. eleven by open game but were too light for the local boys. The official name of their club is Fulton A. c. O'Rourke played Mclaughlin was clever at quarter- back
 For the hnet ten minutes the visi- tors gave the Yosts good argument. Flick Casey and Carroll made good advances into the enemy's territory but the locals could not continue the pace. There was no scoring in the first period but in the second period the Yosts began to hit the visitors line. They marched right down the field and Eddie Reilly went over for a touchdown. Silva kicked the goal. In fact he didn't miss one all afternoon.
 In the third period Eddie Reilly ran 90 yarde after taking the ball on the kickoff Then Moshier in two rushes went over the lire Reilly made the next touchdown anu Moehier the fourth Reilly got the final score in
 Tn addition to the spectacular runs of Reilly and Moshier. the work of Silva and Noonan at the end positions deserves praise. These two boys stop ped everything that came their way. capt Mccormick ard Bunk Abbott were used frequently in running with the ball and they. were hard to stop. When Abbctt's shepely bulk came fled for their lives. OFchner was live one on the defense He inter cepted several forward passes.
