DARTMOUTH
TO BE DROPPED
BY HARVARD

Cambridge, Mass, Jan. 22.-Un1ess
there is some most radical change of
sentiment among those solons who
prepare the annual football hedu1e
at Harvard, Dartmouth will be drop
ped from Harvard's visiting list for
the 'rustication" of the big Green
team substituting in its place COM
bination that should prove less formi-
dabIe.
This fits in well with the Crimson
manasenent's plans for the makeup
of q less strenuous schedule than that
Of last fall, and through which the
eleven Waded with such great success.
No reason was given out last fall for
the break with DartmOu in track
athletics and the same procedure
will be followed in the present
case. These two colleges whose Ioca-
lions should make them natural and
healthy rivals in all sports have faced
each other on the gridiron just TWEEN
ty-eight times. since 1888 they have
met annually with the single eXcep-
ton of 1900. In late years the Green
thy of the Crimson steel and in ten
years has defeated Harvard twice.
Last falls contest which Brickley
won for Harvard, 8 to o, spelled fare
thee-weu for Dartmouth at the stad-
ium. Although opinions differ as to
what actually took place during that
out publicly and denounced the tactics
EN- p1oyed in the Dartn Outh play as
ungentlemanly. Harvard's coach,
Percy Haughton, spoke feelingly on
the matter. It was practically decid-
ed then that the two teams would
break, but a staten ent issued at Han
over, N. H, in the shape of an apology
was believed to have healed the
breach. The Harvard game gave
Dartmouth prestige, and what is more,
the latter institution stood in need of
the money the annual contest brought
them.
Brown has been unsatisfied with it's
place on HarVard's schedule for some
years, and as the Providence manage
ment has all along desired a, later
booking, it is very probable that the
Brun onians will receive the date
usually assigned to Dartmouth. Maine
will open the Harvard season on Sept.
27. Another Pine Tree State aggrega-
ton, Bates, plays on Oct. 4. Cornell
may find an opening at Cambridge
also.

BRINK THORNE, YALE
FOOTBALL STAR, TO WED
Young Man, Who Has Country Home
at Black Rock, to Marry
Rich Girl.

Another engagement has been added
to the record of a season in society
made notable by alliances between
well known families. 1t is that of
Miss Gertrude Leisenring Kennerer,
daughter of MahIon s. Kennerer, of
New York, and formerly of Mauch
Chunk, Pa, to Mr.. s. Brinckerhoff
Thorne, known to all followers of col
1ege football as Brink Thorne, one
of the greatest of Yale's halfbacks.
He was the hero of the famous game
of November, 1895, when the Yale
eleven, of which he was captain, de-
feated Princeton by a score of 20 to
TO- in one of the hardest fought and
most exciting games in the history of
intercollegiate contests.
Mr.. Thorne is a member of a dis
tinguished New FORK family, being the
son of Mr. Jonathan Thorne, who has
a country home at Black Rock. Brink
Thorne spends considerable time there
and is wei known in this city.

FORDHAM BEATEN
BY YALE SHOOTERS
IN LIVELY GAME

In what was truly an epoch-mak-
ing game in the history of recent bas-
ketball. the Yale bulldog last night
defeated the Fordham quintet by the
score of 41-16. Yale displayed a de-
cided Improvement in its speed and
teamwork, obviously the result of
the careful work of Coach Pop Foster,
who has had the men out nightly for
the past few weeks in an endeavor to
regain the championship that has de-
serted the Yale standards for many
years And his pupils showed them
selves worthy of the attempt. In
shooting baskets, in running the ball
down the field and in goals they far
outu1anoevered their adversaries. Nor
must we minimize the work of the
F7ordham contingency, whose wonder
full speed renders the victory all the
more phenomenal.
Decidedly the star of the game
was SwfharI, the Yale captain who
made three goals and shot two fouls
In the second period. The stellar
qualities were assumed by the bull
dogs center Smith, who well earned
his position at the head of the scor-
ing list, with 1 5 points of his credit.
O'Hara starred for Fordham.

TAD JONES WILL
COACH AT EXETER
FORMER YALE STAR TO IN
STRUCT CRACK PREP SCHOOL
ELEVEN.

Exeter, n. H, Jan. 22-Howard A.
Ross, director of the gymnasium and
of athletics at Phillips Exeter, yester-
day afternoon authorized the an
nouncement that Thomas A D. Jones,
o. will be the academy football coach
next fall. That such would be the
case has been taken for granted in
many quarters since Mr.. Jones estab-
Iished business in Exeter at the
opening of this school year and be
came a resident of the town.
Mr.. Jones entered Exeter in the fall
of 1904 with his brother Howard, and
both made the victorious eleven OF
year, Tad playing at quarterback
and Howard. at half Tad's' work
was uniformly good and was marked
by many spectacular runs.
The Jones brothers constituted Exc
ter's principal battery in the spring
of 1905. Tad being the catcher In
the Andover game Howard experience
ed an accident and Tad weakened
by sickness, was not at his best. AT
Yale both added to their athletic lau-
rels on the eleven and nine.

HOW JAKE BEGNEY WON
RACE FROM TOM LEACH

cake Beckley,'' says Joe Tinker in
the Sporting News, always gave me
more laughs than any other player.
Jake was grand, good fellow and
very earnest in his work, but I just
couldn't help laughing when I looked
at him.
ct remember the first time he ever
saw Tommy Leach. Leach was her
aided as a speed marvel, and all the
players were anxious to see his speed
on the sacks. His first time to bat
Tommy drew a pass and walked down
to first base, where Jake was play
ing. It was noticed that Jake play
ed quite a ways from the bag, but no
one knows the reason until Tommy
started to steal.
'"Then all the players of both teams
were amazed to see BeckIey rushing
for second, a step or two IN advance
OF Leach.
'tJake arrived ahead slid into the
bag, got up, busted his trousers and
proudly CALCULATED:
"'Oh, don't know. These bushers
may be fast, but they haven't got all

BAKER
OF ATHLETICS
HOLDING OUT

Philadelphia, Jan 22-J. Frank Ba-
ker, the hoIne-run hitter OF the, Ath-
letfcs, is one of the few of the old
time members of Connie Mack's out
fit who has not returned his signed
contract, although the contract was
mailed to him on December 81, at the
same time the rest of the documents
went out. Almost all the other con-
tracts have been returned with the
signatures of the players affixed.
Manager Mack admitted yesterday
that Baker had not signed, but said
he did not anticipate any trouble, and
did not consider Baker a hold-out.
II had a. talk with Baker few
days ago .. said Connie, and 1 do
not anticipate any trouble. [ do not
consider him hold-out- His contract
may reach me by any mall
Mack usually knows whereof he
speaks, but it has been suggested that
Baker has received a good deal of
praise recently for his hitting, and
he may think he deserves a little
more money than the contract mailed
to him calls for. Connie laughs at
this suggestion.
Chief Bender has not signed as yet,
but Mack explained that the Chief is
on a hunting "trip in Georgia, and it
is likely that the contract has not
reached him

FIRST REVISION. OF BASE
BALL RULES WAS ATTEJEPTED
Sc YEARS AGO TO-DAY.

1t was ffty-siz years ago to-day
Jan. %, 1857, that the first meeting
of baseball players to attempt a re-
vision of the playing rules was held
in New York. The original code
was adopted in 1845, and, although
numerous changes were suggested
few were adopted, and the rules re-
manned practically the same on all
important points. Some OF the pro
visions of this code would seem very
strange to-day. The base runner
was not allowed to leave his bag after
a fly until the ball had been returned
to the pitcher and had once been
pitched to the bat Efforts to change
this rule were made at the 1857 meet
ing, but the change was not adoDtsf'
until two years later. Balls were
not called on the twirler until 1888.
although from the infancy of the
game the batters were penalized for
not striking at fair balls. At first
it was only necessary for a base run
ner to go near the bases, but a rule
was adopted making 1t necessary %

only when one side had made twenty

years later that contests were made
to consist of nine innings In the
early days the catcher did not play up
close to the plate, but considered him

ball on the rebound. He usually had
