Drainage District united as one will
be absolutely impregnable against
any possible high waters that may
come as sc fot stage of water in

such vast expanse of territory in
the entire Ohio and Mississippi val

of the waters climbing higher. With
a stage OF So feet of water in the

be still four feet above. There is
absolutely no chance for the drain

HOPPE WILL TACKLE
 DEMAREST AT BILLIARDS

The first ba1kline billiard match of the season will be played tonight in the grand ballroom of the Hotel As tor, New York. It will be for the 18.2 championship, and the contestants will be William F. Hoppe, champion, and Calvin Demarest, of Chicago, challenger.
 The last time these experts compet- ed in a championship match on April Il and 12, also at the Hotel Astor, Hoppe won by score of 500 to 40 The winner had a lead of only 8 points, when he got a favorable break and ran the 52 he needed. It was an intensely interesting match, in which the chances of each player appeared equal until the deciding run was made.
 Many experts expressed the opinion that Demarest should have won and would hace done so had he not maoe four fouls, two of them at critical stages. Impetuosity probably caus- ed his defeat.

PRINCETON NOT
 FEELING DOWNCAST
Loses Only Two Men By Grad uation And Hopes For Tri-
 umph In 1914

Princeton, N. J., Nov. 17-A ray of optimism in the atmosphere of gloom over the Yale-Princeton football tie game comes from the fact that the Tigers will lose only two men from the 1913 eleven by graduation. while eligibility rules will permit all of the other 1913 team regulars to play next year. Capt. 'Ho bey'' Baker, for three years a Tiger half back, with Phillips, left tackle for the same number of years, are the regulars lost by gradua- ton, while the most prominent sub stitute to be lost is Thornton Emmons, sub quarter back.
 There remains as a nucleus for next season Hammond at left end, Sem mems at left guard, D. Trenkman at centre, w. s. Wart and Brown at right end, Click at quarter back, Law at left half and Streit at full back. This list is bolstered up by a, list of subs most of who have been in one or more of the games during the past season. They are Longstreth and Heyniger, guards; I. SWart and Haviland, cen tres; Larsen and Love, tackles; P. E. Adams, quarter back; Borden and Doolitt1e, half backs; F. Trenkman, full back.

of that season to the Detroit club
 In 1886 the Big Four deal went through and Mcclure was transferred to Philadelphia with Wood and Casey. The following season Mcclure played with the Phillies and made a great record, but in the early part of 1888 he was again transferred to the Detroit club, and later on to his first love, the C1evelands. The Toronto club snapped him up in 1889, and in 1890 he was with the Rochesters. From 1891 to 1897 he was with Washington and during the next five years he played with Brook 1yn In 1902 he jumped to the Detroit American league club and the next season he was transferred to the New York Americans. After 25 years of yeoman service upon the diamond, Mcclure became manager of the Bos- ton Americans in 1906. Later he filled a similar berth with the Clevela nd club. He was a well known figure on the diamond long before some of the present day stars were born.

AUTUMN BASEBALL


 Fielder Jones, president of the North western League and former leader of the Chicago White Sox, confided to a friend of his while attending the minor league meeting at Columbus, that he has no desire to re-enIer the big league either al manager or as the owner of a team. Jones declares that his large business interests on the coast would prevent him from coming east for any great length Of time This will not prevent tn e gossips, however, from linking Jonee's name with the man agement of the Brooklyn team for next season.
 Palmer Hildebrand, the young catch CT, who was with the St. Louis Cardi- nals last season, has been released to Atlanta by Miller Huggins.
 Clark Griffith is displeased with Walter Johnson because he pitched a game of ball for the White Sox recent ly in cold weather. The manager of the Senator's exercised great care last season, not overworking Johnson, so that he would be in the pink of condt- ton for the 1914 campaign,- and was furious when he learned that Johnson took a chance with his arm by pitch ing in cold weather.

(By Wagner.)


 The much heraIded YaIe-Princeton football contest is over and the critics are picking at the bones to discover why it was thus. There appears to be great e1ation among Yale supporters, not so much by reason of Yale's great showing but because Capt. Ketcham's s men managed to get a tie when it was generally believed they would be beat en. Of course in the days of Yale's ascendency in the football world a tie would have been considered a de- feat but these have been lean years as satisfactory.
 On paper, when considering the number of yards gained, Yale appears to have badly outpIayed the Tigers but as a matter of fact there wasn't great deal of difference in the strength of the eIevens. Both were strong on the defense and neither had an at tack worthy of the name.
 The Tigers never had a chance to show what they could do in advancing the ball for they seldom penetrated deep into Yale territory and it was a case of kick on the first or second down. The famed Minnesota shift was used several times with Streit taking the ball through the line but never realized more than a few yards gain The best run for the Tigers was made by Quarterback Click when he sneak ed around Yale's left end on a trick play and covered 26 yards. Hobey Baker ran back one kick for about Is yards but in general his work was very disappointing. He seemed un- able to elude the Yale ends and did not live up to his press notices as a runner back of kicks. He is evidently one of those players who stars only against the minor teams.
 Yale had the ball in the enemy's territory a major portion of the time, not so much by it's power in rushing the ball but by because of wiIson's s penalty imposed on Princeton also put Yale in a position to make its only score.
 In fact Wilson's work stood out prominently throughout the after noon. He was swift and sure inthand ling Law spirals. He caught them over his shoulders, around his neck or at, his knees with equal facility Tn this department he reminded en- thusiasts of Steve Philbin, who hand led that department so well in Ted Coy's time. Wilson was far superior to Baker in attending to punts. He also ran the team we'll
 Although YaIe's defense was all that could have been expected, the attack was hopeless. The backs seem ed slow to get into action and did not go into the opposing line with much vim. A startling lack of power was shown when, after Ainsworth's long run, Yale got the ball on Princetons s six yard line on the first down. After making two yards on the next rush the Ellis couldn't gain an inch on the

YALE PLAYERS
 REST IN FAIRFIELD
Gridiron Heroes Spend Sunday As The GuestsaOfO C.
 Jennings

New Haven, Conn.,, Nov. 17-With the Yale eleven at Fairfield for Sun day and most of the coaches out of town, practically no progress was made yesterday toward picking the team for the Harvard game of next Saturday. Head Coach Jones and Capt. Ketcham both stated that no changes would be made unless it is found that they are necessary by req son of physical condition. For a day or two, however, it will not be ab- soIute1y certain whether it is advisa- bIe to send against the Crimson three of the players who faced Princeton Avery, left end; Pend1eton, right tackle, and Carter, right end.
 In all three cases a slightly wrench ed knee has caused lameness, and Trainer John Mack is at work with his assistants trying to iron out the limp. The wrench is not severe.
 The summer home of Oliver Jen- nings of New York city. at Fairfield, Conn, where the Yale eleven spent Sunday, is located on a height over looking Long Island Sound, and the players enjoyed their outing there, and their visits to the scales showed this afternoon that each one has taken on several pounds since the Princeton match closed. The play CTS were taken back to this city for their morning recitations today. There was signal drill during the afternoon and on Tuesday and Wednesday the eleven will be tried in dummy foot ball with the scrubs using Harvard formations

next two attempts. With four yards to go, Quarterback Wilson tried a for ward pass to the right end. The Yale end was covered by a Tiger but he jumped up and managed to touch the ball with one hand It fell to the ground and the chance to score was lost.
 There has been much criticism of Wilson because he did not order an end run when he could see that the Princeton ends had been drawn in 10 bolster up the line. This might have succeeded but it is easy of course to make a second guess after somebody else has guessed wrong. A field EoaI could also have been tried. The ball was not at such a difficult angle and the kicker would have been staudfuz on the 3 yard line so he ought to have put it over the par with ease.
 One other department in which Yaio excelled was cheering and singing. Princeton generally has the edge but the Tigers were not up to their usual form. That fine song, "OId Nassau was given in about IT different keys. although the crowd was too polite to make any remarks.

ONLY FOUR MORE
 BATTLES ON TOUR
White SOx Two Games Ahead Of The Giants In This
 Country

Only four more games remain to be played before the Giants and the White Sox complete the first part Of their worlds series baseball tour- that on the American Continent. The itinerary called for series of thirty i've exhibition games on American soil before the teams embark for the Orient at Vancouver next Wednesday night To date the teams have dis posed of thirty-one of the scheduled contests, twenty-nine having been played and two being cancelled on ac- count of rain.
 Of the games participated in thus far by the tourists, the Giants have the upper hand on Comiskey's tribe by a margin of two games There stfu is a possibility of the teams breaking even before they start for foreign lands or the White Sox over hauling their rivals.
 Although the trip across the Conti- nent has been a tough one, many games being played under the most trying conditions, the trip thus far has been profitable The average crowd was not much to boast of, but enough has been made to date to pay for the expenses In some cities as many as 10000 fans have turned out to greet the big leaguers-
 Until last week it was nip and tuck tussle between the teams for the title of supremacy. Three times the teams have been tied, but on each oc- casion the Giants followed the tie with a victory and forged to the front. Last week the Giants came. along with a spurt that enabled them to open up a gap of two games at the end of Hhe week Yesterdays two losses, how ever, again tied the touring gladia- l1ors-
 The record of the teams shows the Giants to have won fourteen games wrad lost fourten. That gives each team a percentage Of .509. The game in Abilene Tex, on November 4, and that in Sacramento on November 12, were called off on account of rain. On November g, in Los Angeles, the teams played a nine-inning to tie.

On Each Ticket For Game Is Stamped The Name Of

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 17-By a change in the manner of marking the tickets for this years Harvard Yale fotbaIl game, the Harvard Athletic authorities hope to be able to prevent ticket speculation. On each ticket is stamped the name of the individual applicant and he alone will be allow ed to use it. If a ticket is presented at the stadium by a person other than the one whose name appears on the card, it will be confiscated and th= one to whom it was issued will be deprived of the right to apply for tickets to future games.

BUCK O'BRIEN IS
 AN EARLY H0LD0UT

The hold-o1t season in baseball has arrived and Buck O'Brien, the pitcher 0ho gave James R. McAleer so much trouble before signing with the Boston Red Sox last spring is at the head of the procession. The inau- Eurator of the worlds series balk is now on the roster of the Oakland club of the Pacific Coast League, but the fact that he has been relegated to the minors has not in the least impaired his ability to pose as a hold-out.
 4 few days ago Arthur Devlin, not so long ago with the Giants, and now manager of the Oaks, rendered O'Brien his contract for 1914, but Buck did not mince his words in declaring that he would rather go on the stage than play ball at '<thim hggirs."
 O'Brien was with Hartford in 1910.
