STOCK COMPANY !
MAY BUY TIGERS
Effort to Interest Local Capital
at Meeting To-
night.
EBBETs ANXIOUS TO SELL

An effort to form stock company
70 purchase controlling interest IN
the Newark Club will be made BY
local business men tonight. Messrs.
Moe Reichman. who controls the
concessions at Wiedenmayer's Park:
Philip Krimke. a former stockholder
during Walter Burnham's regime.
and Tom Blaney. a local business
man. are at the head Of the scheme.
Invitations have been sent out 70
more than twenty men with capital
who are likely to be interested in the
project a circular letter was sent
out. containing the information that
meeting would be held in Krue-
gers Auditorium tonight. It is not
expected that more than a half dozen
viii respond. but II that many show
an active interest. It Is supposed that
company can be formed and
reasonable offer can be made TO Pres
ident Charles H. Ebbets, of the
Brooklyn Club. who lie at the head OF
the interests which control the Tigers.
It is believed that Ebbets is anxious
TO see how much money can be raised
before setting definite price on his
own stock. Furthermore, Ebbets's
stock in itself would not be sufficient
to satisfy the local men. because they
want to gain a controlling interest n
the club. An agreement which binds
any one Of the partners, Ebbets. Me-
Keevers. Medicus or Solomon, from
selling out without the consent of the
others. prevents the Brooklyn mag
nate from disposing OF his stock even
| If he could do so.

part with his holdings. and has been
making private efforts, II is said. 70

half. Solomon. apparently. has had

show his hand Mr.. Ebbets has
maintained steadfastly that he would
prefer to sell TO local business men.
He argues that it is best for organ
lied baseball that local men should
control every franchise in every
league.
That Mr. Ebbets is anxious to dis
pose of his stock is evident from the
fact that he has gone out of his way
I to make the fact known to Newarkers
who have the money to purchase the
club. II is said that local men are
willing to buy the stock controlled
by the Ebbets, Medicus, McKeever
combination, but would not bother
with any of the other minority stock
holders.
From another source today it was
LEARNED that Ebbets's partners were
willing TO do whatever the Brook
lyn magnate does, provided they can
get their price. 1t is believed that
the nigh price at first set by Ebhets.
will be reduced. 1t is his object to
kindle up competition along the bid
cling line.
George Ia Solomon denied today
that he is making an effort to buy
the club, and also stated that he is

Radical Changes in Line
Made at Cornell Drill

ITHACA, N. Y, Oct. 16.-Radical
changes were made in the lineup OF
The Cornell varsity in yesterday
scrimmage with the scrubs. and 1t is
apparent that some of them are like
1y to be permanent. Cool, the centre,
was relegated to the side lines, his
only appearance of the day being at
centre on the second team in place
of Williams. Karl McCutcheon, the
big 196-pound guard, was shifted to
the pivot position, and Sherwood, a
200-pound recruit, played right guard
The coaches have not definitely de-
termined on the final personnel of the
centre trio, but it lis believed that
even if McCutcheon does not pan out
at centre Williams will have q pref
erence over Cool. Another important
line change @as at left tackle, where
Guyer played for the first time this
year. Williamson, the regular, was
on the side lines with injuries. Rec
ognition for the solid, aggressive
work of Mehaffey at left end on the
second team came yesterday, when
he was given the varsity place.

series, will manage Mobile, of the
Southern League, next season.
king" Cole, who is coming to the
Yankees next season from the Amer
lean Association, did not lose a single
game to the champion Milwaukee
nine. One of his victories was a no.
hit effort.
One little piece of evidence that
points to the fact that a great many
persons think Walter Johnson is the
whole Washington team is that the
Nationals trip to Cuba was called off
because the star pitcher refused to go
along. The Cubans specified in con-
tract they sent Griffith that johnson
must be one Of the team.
George Mcbride, the Washington
shortstop, declined to go on the world
tour. asserting that the travelling and
ball-playing would have a tendency
to slow him down for next season S
work. Many others think the same
way.
Robert Lee Hedges, owner of the
Browns, is giving Branch Hickey ten
years in which to put st. Louis on top

Browns finish. He says nothing of
what may follow.
And they do say that Jake Daubert,
who led the National League in hit
ting, will one day manage the Brook

far distant. One thing is sure, Dau-

job.
Bill Dahlen, manager of the Brook

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Oct. 16.-The
Harvard squad had hard workout
yesterday, despite the rainy weather
Coach Haughton realizes that the
men need some hard scrimmaging,
and has promised a good hard dose

freshman team. The varsity scored
three times against the scrubs, the
first resulting from a blocked punt by
Coolidge.

at the Naval Academy yesterday aft

very good, and his touchdown was

Nemesis for Tiger Varsity

their regulars out of the game, the
freshman football eleven fought the
Princeton varsity yesterday after

backs, and not until he was removed
could the varsity make any consistent
gains.
Hogg, with Captain briggs at full
back for the freshmen, and Bigler, a
freshman tackle, kept Captain Baker
so well covered that his attempts to
get away on long run were futile.

varsity line for a f1fty-f1ve-yard run
and for a touchdown, while Rodgers,
quarter for the Cubs, kicked a field
goal from the forty-three- yard line
