OAKLANDS CLASH WITH
ROSEBUDS ON SUNDAY
(BY Len PoweH.l


Everything is in readiness for the
much heralded football clash that viii
be held Sunday afternoon at Newf1eId
Park when Danny billions Oakland
ties will have up their chests to the
Rosebuds of East Bridgeport, claim
ants of the 40 pound championship.
It seems as if there is more than the
ordinary amount of betting on this
game as it is a difficult proposition to
choose which team has the better ma
terial and makeup in it's composition.
Early in the week the betting was
even money but the situation has
changed and the Oakland followers
are willing to give 10 to on their
favorites. Joe Buckley, who is sup
posed to have more money than he
knows what to do with, has placed a
side bet of $50 to $50. taking the Oak
land end Ike" Jacoby, assistant
manager of Jack Hat Store on Fair
field avenue, is looking for a few bets,
he also taking the East Enders for
his choice. It is rumored that the
Rosebud followers will have all the
money that Oakland rooters want by
Sunday.
Manager Bayus of the Rosebuds will
run his squad through an hours drill
ing tonight and every member of the
team will be prirned for one of the
best football games that has been
played at Newfield park since the
Thunderbolts and Acorns held forth
The Rosebuds have one of the fastest
elevens in the city this season and
have proven to be on the same rating
as their East End rivals. The Bayus
aggregation are lighter than the Oak
lands but will, no doubt, show just as
much speed and strength when the
whistle blows.
Managers Dillon and Bayus of Oak
lands and Rosebuds, respectively, have
agreed to start the game at 2:45 in
stead of 3 o'clock, which has been the
starting time in recent games. The
teams will take the field in the follow
ing order:
Oaklands. Rosebuds.

FINNISH RUNNER
FOUND NOT GUILTY
kOlehmainer Produces All Cups
And Trophies Won
By Him

New York, Nov. 13-Hannes Ko1eh-
mainen, Olympic runner, who came
here from Finland and joined the
Ertsh-A1nerican Athletic club of this
Eify, appeared before the registrat ton
committee of the Metropolitan district
of the Amateur Athletic union last
night to be questioned regarding re-
ports that he is a. professional Having
been directed to bring with him all
the prizes he has won since coming
20 America, the trophies including one
for winning the ten mile A. A. u. ma
e1onal championship a few weeks ago,
Ko1ehmainen surprised the committee
by producing three more prizes than
the investigators had recalled. The
Finnish runner drove up in an auto
mobile almost bulging with cups and
medals, and proved to the committee
mems satisfaction, it was said, that
he had not pawned any prizes award

sides his iron light weight but even
at that he might draw enough to pay
for the baggage to be hauled. It
might be well to recall that Ketchel
and Papke drew $24, 900 for 10 rounds in
Milwaukee and that Papke and Kelly
drew $4,000 and also over $4,000 at
cheap prices, while the advance sale
for the Mcfarland olgast match at
the Auditorium, which was called on,
amounted to nearly $51, 900. Not bad
for a jay beer town, Ell! However,
Willie is a pretty wise boy and it is
hardly possible that he made such a
statement, or perhaps he was mis-
quoted. If Willie will agree to tackle
Packey Mcfarland at 135 pounds at
3 o'clock the day of the contest we
can assure him that he will receive
enough, not only to pay for the haul
of his baggage to good old beer town,
but also to haul few extra loads for
his manager, genial Harry Foley, but
a few sparklers, fat or two and a
bottle of pop.

DOOM OF PHILLIES
WAS TAILOR BY TRADE

Charles S. Doom, manager OF ne
Philadelphia Nationals and veteran Of
1000 major league contests, was ad-
vised by Charles A. ConislEey to stick
to the tailoring business after a. brief
trial in 1889 with the St Paul club, OF
which Comiskey does not recall the
incident, but Doom tells the story on
himself as an example OF one OF the
rebuffs he had in severinG himself
from his trade as a clothing cutter
and finding an opening to crawl under
the big tent. Although he had been a
member OF five teams Doom had not
participated in dozen professional
games when he became a regular with
the ST. Joseph club OF the western
league in 1901. Nor did st. Joseph
seek Dooin's services so that you could
notice it. Doom wished himself on 70

Bob Birmingham, the old Yannigan
fullback, will not be seen with the

to shift the backfeld, placing Halo

At Guard

Cambridge, Mass. Nov. 15.-Har-
wards rejuvenated football team was
tried out yesterday afternoon in a 20
minute scrimmage with the substi-
tutes. The substitutes used the sup
posed Yale plays. A single touchdown
was the amount Of the scoring done by
the varsity squad.
The touchdown was made on a nun
by Freddy of Mahan's punt, cap
tured by Hardwick, who is playing
end. BrickIey tried a placement kick
from the 45-yard line and a drop kick
from the 35-yard line, but both were
missed.
The new line shaped up for the hrst
time in a satisfactory manner. At
present 1T looks stronger than here

matter of conjecture whether it win

with Brown next Saturday.

Philadelphia, Nov. Dramatically the
entire student body of the University
Of Pennsylvania was in and around
the railroad station yesterday when
the football team departed for Ann
Arbor, Mich, where the annual game
between Pennsylvania and Michigan
will be played next Saturday.
Shortly after IL o'clock the college
classes were dismissed and about 5000
students assembled on the campus
Speeches were made by Captain
Young of the team; George H. Brooke
the coach, and others. The students
headed by the university band, per-
formed the snake dance and then pro-
ceeded through the principal streets
to the railroad station, two miles dis

LEACH CROSS ON
JOURNEY TO COAST
Will Meet Joe Rivers And Ex-
poets To Put Mexican
Away

Leach Cross, accompanied by his
wife, daughter, brother Samuel and
trainer. Harry Lee, left last night for
Los Angles, where Leach is to battle
Joe Rivers 20 rounds on Thanksgiving
Day.
Despite the outcome Of his fight with
Willie Richie, the Gotham lightweight
contends he will be in good shape for
Rivers and also remarked that he ex-
pected to slip over a haymaker on the
Mexican.
The great showing of Cross with
Richie will probably install him ia
vorite over Rivers. The latter fought
Cross twice in New York, but Cross
was not as good in those battles aus in
his encounter with Ritchfe.
Willie Ritchie will be disappointed
at Cross leaving so hurriedly. Billy
Gibson gave the champion dinner last
night and the latter insisted that Cross
should also be a guest of honor. In
fact Richie sent Leach a. personal re-
quest to be present.

YALE TEAM HAS
LAST SCRIMMAGE

Coach Howard Jones sent the Yale
eleven through it's last scrimmage be-
fore the Princeton game at the field
yesterday afternoon. Two more
changes were made in the line and
this is looked upon as the final shift
of the season. The shift includes the
restoration of the veteran Bill Warren
to right tackle and the removal of
Johnny Pendleton from right tackle
to right guard. The new order places
these two players exactly where they
fought Ya1e's battles last season.
Warren has been ragged on the de-
Tense all the fall and has substituted
at both guard and tackle. The shift
drops Robinson, the former Mime
sofa guard, from the first string com
bination, leaving him as reserve
choice for the final games
Captain KetchaIn stated last night
that no further changes are contem-
plated and that the lineup given below
will lineup against the Tigers Satur-
day The long discussed plan of NOV
ing Captain Ketcham out to end has
been finally vetoed. The Yale leader
remained at left guard yesterday,
where he cut his nose and twisted his
ankle. Talbot also cut his face and
also linped when the practice ended.
Yesterdays scrinmage was one of the
most strenuous of the season.
Changing tactics the coaches order
ed the gates opened and several hun
bred spectators, all undergraduates,
watched the rapid fire artillery of the
varsity work thirteen minutes against
the scrubs and then the third eleven
hammered against the varsity with
Princeton formations. Knowles and
Dunn registered fifteen yard gains for
the varsity and Knowles finally duck
ed through tackle for the only touch
down of the day.
A feature of the drill was the per-
Torrance of Fudge Heffelfnger of the
's8 eleven, which held a quarter CEN
tennial banquet at the Hotel Taft last
night. ''Hen Jauntily appeared in
football rig and Derby hat and he
ripped the varsity line in two for ten
minutes while the veterans of "'s8''
went wild.

It was disappointing to many of the
Exeter players who had been working

chance to secure their letter in the

ious as a result of the first in win nine

Dartmouth will number the players

After the experiment has been tried
the colleges will decide whether to
make it permanent.
An effort is being made to match
Willie Richie and Freddie welsh in
New York next month. If these boys
