JAKE STALL TO
 MANAGE DODGERS
Report That Red Sox Leader
 Will Succeed Bill Dahlen.

Garland (Jake) Stahl, who led the Boston Red Sox to a worlds cham pionship a year ago only to be de- posed last midsummer by President James A. McA1eer. is to succeed Bill Dahlen as manager of the Brooklyn team.
 Bad Bill" has been provided with billet in the International League by President Ebbets, SO the story goes. Ebbets controls the champion Newarks, but will not relieve his sue cessfu1 manager. Harry Smith. to make room for Dah1en.
 While President Charles H. Ebbets, of Brooklyn, is firm in his denial of any contemp plated change in the man agement of the Dodgers, those close to the inner circles of the national pastime maintain that StahI will go across the Bridge. All American League ties were severed when Mo Aleer handed Jake his unconditional release.
 Ban Johnson is a bosom friend of StahL He tried to find an American League berth for him at St. Louis but Bob Hedges signed Branch Rickey. Johnson is in no position to prevent Stahl from going over to the rival major league.

FARMER FRED sNoDGRAss,
 GIANT OUTFTEGLDEIR, IS
 2e YEARS OLD TODAY

Frederick c. Snodgrass, the distin- guished California farmer, who ,dur- ing the torrid and serni-torrid months tiIIs the outer garden for the New York Giants, will pass his twenty sixth milestone today. Farmer Fred will. it is understood, invest his sea sons savings in another California ranch It is his ambition to settle the Japanese land ownership question by buying all the agricultural and horti- cultural lands in the Goldden State, and he has already got a good start.
 Farmer Snodgrass is a. native son of the Golden West, having been born in Ventura, Cal, Oct IS, 1887. He as- simulated his education at St Vim cents College in Los Angeles, where he was a c1assr1ate of Arthur Shafer, the brilliant infielder of the Giants Snodgrass and Shafer were the stars of the St. Vincent's nine. Fred usual Iy caught, although he was at home in almost any position on the diamond. Tn 1905, when only seventeen and a freshman at college, Snodgrass caught a couple of games for the Los Angeles club of the Pacific Coast League.
 Snodgrass Joined the Giants in 1908, and was tried out behind the bat in

NEWARK CITIZENS
 AFTER FRANCHISE
Brooklyn Magnate Wants Stiff Price For Holdings in In
 ternationaI League.

Newark, N. J., Oct. 1S-Newark bus mess men at a meeting last night took steps to purchase the holdings of Chas. H. Ebbets of the Brooklyn Dodgers and his partners in the Newark Inter- national League team. They express ed hope of putting through the deal successfully.
 Ebbets has asked sill, ,936 for the 352 shares of the clubs stock which is in the hands of his partners in the Brook lyp club. The price fixed is consid- cred high by the local sporting men. WHO have bid $75.00O, but it is believ- ed that they can command $1o0,000, if necessary, to obtain the franchise
 What is included in the purchase price stated by Ebbets was not clearly. in the minds of the conferees last night and within the next few days efforts will be made to learn from the Brook lyn magnates how many players will be given over for the purchase price. The financial status of the club also will be investigated.
 Last year when the club was on the market it could have been purchased for $75.o00 and Frank Nfihlon, the cycle race promoter, turned down the offer made to him to take over the fran chise at those figures. Since that time the profits of the club last season and the facts that the club had won the International League pennant and has many more valuable men on the roster have increased the selling price.

MIKE DONLIN IS
 LIKELY TO BECOME
 MEMBER OF GIANTS

New York, Oct 1s.-Mfke DonIin, the old favorite, is going to tour the world with the Giants and White Sox It will be a honeymoon trip flor Mike, as he is in Chicago this week signing au- other contract in the matrimonial league. A quiet tip in circulation here is that Don1in will appear next season in the role that Harry Mccormick has recently resigned to become manager of the Chattanooga team. Mike will be the pinch hitter of the Giants
 It is understood that Donltn was of fered the mana cement of the Jersey City team, but declined. His reason for this was his contemplation of a long season, in vaudeville, which would be more profitable to him than base ball. But Mike loves the old game and it is believed that another major league engagement will wean him away from vaudeville.
 From Chicago comes the story that Donlin is to join the globe-trott ting par ty. Deponent saith not whether Mike is to pose as member of the White Sox or the Giants, but if he goes he probably will wear the McGraw col ors If his release from Jersey City can be purchased at a reasonable fig ure he will rejoin the team with which he once starred.
 MeGraw, after viewing his outfield in the worlds series, probably came to the conclusion that a wise old bird like Donlin could be sort of a coach to young outfelders and a pinch hitter as well Mike Is a fighter, and there isn't enough Of the, old fighting spirit of 1908 in the Giants today.

YALE CREW OUT EACH MORNING TO
 TRAIN FOR TIGERS

New Haven, Conn. Oct. 1S-Pre- paratory to the race against Prince ton at Carnegie Lake a week from to- day the Yale crew authorities have inaugurated daybreak practice. This is the extent to which the coaches and men are willing to go to win or make a good showing against Princeton.
 The Yale crew lost Lippincott, Snowden and Crocker and most of the four-oared men last spring by gradua- tion and the men came back only a few days before college opened for the crew work. At that time it was not expected a race with Princeton would be arranged for the fall, so there was apparently no need for speed in developing the men. The final agreement for a race took the members of the squad by surprise. Morning practice appeared necessary and the faculty was interviewed. They excused from morning recitations as are anyway, on account of the crew work, and were deaf to all pleas.
 The result is that the candidates for the varsity crew report at the Adee Memorial boat house, two miles from the Yale campus, at 6 o'clock in the morning Unless the day is perfectly clear it IS still dark. The fall morn ings are beautiful, but the crew men say that they are slightly cold before the sun comes up. The daybreak practice is under the direction of Capt. Denegre. Head Coach AveriII Hartman comes up from New Y York each day and has charge of the after noon work.

HEFFELFINGER PRAISES
 YALE FOOTBALL SYSTEM

New Haven, Oct. 17-Approval of the lines along which the Yale football suad is being trained is voiced by Fudge Heffe1hnger, who has been nere for two weeks. He says, "I heartily approve of the methods of Head Coach Howard Jones. With his guidance Yale should put a team on the field five weeks from now whose showing will be accepted even if it does not win.
 Ut is still too early to give an opin- ion on the outcome of the game with Harvard" the former Eli continued There are too many contingencies which may occur According to the newspapers Harvard should win, but we all know the accidents of the newspapers.
 1.-The lines of action in the develop ment of a. team are similar to the methods employed in the sos. The style of play minus the forward pass seems much the same. The so-ca-lI- ed new game does not to my notion hinder the skill of the inemen. Men with an ability for quick thinking play practically the same game. Sew eraI of us older men who have step ped in the line find no appreciable difference. Men of three or four years ago were not developed with as much individual attention as they are now. This year at Yale especially they are endeavoring to develop the men individually.
 .sWestern football depends largely upon who is playing it. Michigan and Wisconsin follow one style and Min nesota and Chicago another. Wfscon- sin and Michigan play more along the eo-ca11ed old style, and, although may be prejudiced, I think they have the strongest teamsi I feel that the University of Chicago and Minnesota are using combinations and forward passes to the detriment of the indi- vidual-the very thing the eastern coaches are striving to avoid do. not mean that Chicago and Michigan are not playing up to date football. They are, but they put emphasis on the player rather than the play"

M'FARLAED HAS BETTER OF MURPHY
Chicago Boy Too Clever For
 Tommy in Ten Rounds.

Packey Mcfarland gave ten-round exhibition of scientific boxing at Mad ison Square Garden, New York, last night, using Tommy Murphy as a sparring partner. As 8 demonstration of the finer side of boxing the exhioi- ton of the Chicago whirFwind has not been approached in many months and is not likely to be very soon.
 Murphy was so helpless before the swinging arms of his rival that most of the spectators figured that the bout would not go ten rounds. It went the ten because Mcfarland always is mer- cifu1 when an opponent is so com plete1y outclassed. The crowd saw plenty of boxing, Murphy escaped a crash against the boards and Packey did not have to take g. chance on in- turing his hands.
 From the time they shook hands be- fore the opening round until the final gong sounded in the tenth Mcfarland stood out above the F1atbueh boy at every angle of the game. Not one round or any part of round showed Murphy on, anything like even terms with Mcfarland.
 It was another case of the master and the pupil, as when Packey fought Jack Britton here several months ago, and Murphy was even more helpless against the Mcfarland brand of clev- erness than was Britton- At the close of the bout Murphy'e face bore strong testimony to the storm of punches which he had weathered. If McFar- land had been in more of hurry Tommy might have escaped the bad punching. getting a knockout instead.

a few games that year In 1909 he became utility outfelder, playing in twenty-two games, with a swattine average of an even 300. He was sfv- en a regular position in the outer garden in 1910, hitting .321 that year and -2s4 in 1911. Last year he did not make a very good record, and he rounded out the year by making a $3O,0O0 error in the worlds series with Boston. It was the costIiest nun ever made. since it deprived the GIahfs of the worlds championship and the major share of the worlds series re- ceipts, and for time Snodgrass was in bad with the players and fans of New York
 Snodgrass' huff of an absurdIy easy ball was followed by a heated session in the clubrooms when the players as- sailed Fred with language more force full than polite. Snodgrass was too downhearted to care. but his old col 1ege chum, Shafer, took up the arru- ed, convinced his fellow players thar ed, convinced his fello wp1ayers that they were unwise in criticising Snod- grass. Another player who didn't join in the abuse of Snodgrass was 1Terlcle. who was rendered charitable through little similar experience of his own

 The hard-fought match between Miss Rollins and Miss Curtis attracted a large gallery when 1t was learned that the play was so even. The hrst hole was haIved The second went to Miss Rollins, while each took a five for the third The match was all square or the fourth hole, but Miss Rollins forged ahead again on the fifth. Miss Curtis caught her in the seventh.

AVERAGE AGE OF
 ATHLETICS IS 26

The Athletic players who won the championship average twenty-six years and five months. Plank, the oldest. is thirty-nine years, and Bush, the youngest, is half the veterans age While the team may be young in years it is old in the point of experience. Mack's team should be even better next year than it was the past sea- son. and unbiased writers say that the present champions are the best ball club that ever played together. One man asked yesterday how other American League clubs were going to stop the Athletics next year. They're not going to stop them. The only way the other clubs will have chance is for the National Commission to adopt a rule allowing the Athletics opponents five or six runs handicap in every game

TO-DAY IN PUGIIIsr1c ANNALS.

1s53-Nat Langham defeated Tom Savers in 61 rounds at Lakenheath, England. Savers was then at the com mencement of his ring career, and, al though much smaller than his oppon- ent, he showed remarkable grit and endurance Langham soon disappear ed from ring annals, but within four years Savers fought his way to the championship, defeating Perry, the Tipton Slasher, for the big title. Say CTS held the belt for three years, re- tiring from the ring immediately af- ter his bout with John Heenan, the American heavyweight, in which he was saved from defeat only by official interference. Savers was small for a, heavyweight, but was speedy and scientific, and able to land a powerful punch.
