HINKEY TO COACH YALE.
New Director Was a Peer of Ends
During His College Days.

DAYTON. December 25.-Frank Hin
key. famous foot ball star of the nineties,
will be head coach of the Yale foot
ball eleven next fall, succeeding How
ard Jones
This announcement was made here
yesterday by Capt Nelson Talbot, who
is at his home here for the Christmas
holidays.
Hinkey. who has been appointed head
seeds Howard Jones. who during the
first salaried foot ball coach under
contract.
Jones. it is understood. felt obliged
TO ask that his contract be Cancelled
in order to accept a lucrative business
offer.
Hinkey was graduated from Yale in
1895. He played end rush. and Walter
Camp and other foot bail critics re-
gard him as one Of the best ends that
ever wore the Blue, rivaling even such
latter-day stars as Sheyltn. Fitzpatrick
and Bomeisler.
For the first time in many wears
Uinkey assisted In the coaching at
Yale Field last fall. SO he is conyersant
with conditions here.
He is known to be an advocate Of
the open style OF play. and is q firm
believer in the forward pass. 1t is
therefore probable that Yale will show
attack next fall that will almost
revolutionize the style of play in use
here for several seasons past

The story, as told by ST Louis fan,
follows:
Very few people are aware of the fact
that Walter Johnson. the great pitcher of
the Washingtons, came within a thin ace
of coming to st. Louis. 1t was back in
1905 or whereabouts and 'Jawn' McCloskey
was managing the Cardinals.
From time to time reports sifted across
the mountains and landed in various sec
tons of the big league which told of
wonderful pitcher out iii Idaho, sort of
d yap-like youngster. who was pitching
rings around every batter who faced him.
The pitcher. of course. was Walter

We'll. it was these four lemons that
probably prejudiced McCloskey against

son was tipped off to him as "A cold

manager wrote to the youngster and
asked him If he would come on, John
son answered that he would make the
jump If McCloskey would send him

"You see, he wasn't cocksure of max

wanted to be sure of getting back to

without any salary stipulation. for the
price of a roundtrip ticket? Can you
grasp it? Walter Johnson for the

It is only quite lately that an up
right method of swinging the club HAS
appeared to the general body of golfers
anything but entirely vicious. says the
London Times We have, to be sure. had
before US for the best part of twenty
years the example of Vardon. supreme
among wooden club players. taking up
his club with q perceptible lift; but that
has been regarded as an inimitable &C.
centricity of greatness.
To define an upright swing is extraor-
dinarily difficult: even to see it clearly
Is In all conscience hard enough. What
Vardon seems to do is something like
this: He begins by executing the turn
ing movement of the wrists while stand
ing particu arly still and steady on his
feet; then, this initial movement over, he
lifts the club with smooth abruptness,
If one may so explain it, to its ultimate
position behind the head. while stimuli
taneously with this second movement the
footwork comes into the swing. The
other upright swingers have not quite
the same method, but there is a sugges-
ton OF 1t. The flat swing. which has
been generally taught, consists rather IN
sweeping the club more along the ground
and round the body. and cardinal point
In 1t is that there should be no kind of
lift-that the club should be travelling all
the time in the same arc.

BROOKLYN SECURES ROMANACH
Young Cuban Infelder. Wanted by
Giants. Accepts Terms.

NEW YORK, December - : The
Brooklyn club has notified Secretary John
A. Heydier Of the National League that
il has completed negotiations with
Tommy Romanach. the young shotstop
of the Almaudares club of Cuba, and
that the player had accepted their
terms. The Giants wanted Romanach
and were willing to pay him big none!
to have him report at Marlin.
When the Brooklyn team was in Cuba
last month Capt. Jake Daubert was
very much impressed with Romanach' :
playing, and tipped President Ebbets
off about the player. Daubert was foxy
and made the sho. tstop promise not to
sign with any other club until lie had
heard from Brooklyn. 1t was this
promise which blocked the Giants bid
for the player. Romanach will wear a
Dodger uniform next season and NAV
make place in the nfield He is only
eighteen year old and Is an architect

Griffith is successful in obtaining the
seasoned outfielder he is seeking that
position will be turned over to him.
Just who the utility infielders will
be remains to be determined. Last
season the team had Laporte and
Gedeon. The former has been sold to
Kansas City, while the latter is still
member of the team. though the
chances are he will have to show to
better advantage to retain his JOB.
Griffith has several young inheiders
on his list who may be retained Inc

Griffith, of course, figures on his lnfleid
remaining intact. None of the newcom-
ers is apt to displace Foster. McBrlde
Morgan or Gandil, but he is anxious to
have a couple of competent youngsters
on the bench for use in the event of acct

That most of this talk about the Fed

major league players is myth rs proven
by the experience which Pitcher Baum

Baumgardner was induced by George
Stovall to consider terms to join the
Kansas City club. He was given to un-
derstand that his contract would call for
$1,000, and he accepted. A contract call
ing for the amount named was sent him
and he signed 1t, but he made the dis

period of three years and that the aggre-

IN BASKET BALL RULES
Several Sections Have Been Made More Explicit,
Altering the Play Somewhat. but in the
Main the Code Is the Same

on the quint. The team could Well do
without any other man better than II
could him.
Why some of the local colleges have not
gotten hold of Hoppe is q question. 1t Is
possible that he does not care to leave
the V. N. c. A. outfit. but there is no
doubt that he would make star among
the collegiate quints.
One factor which Is going to help bas-
lset ball here whole lot in the future is
the interest taken in it by the younger
class Of players. There are many teams
composed of boys who range anywhere
from eight to fifteen years of age and
they are playing two or three games
every week These youngsters are going
to develop into capable performers when
they get older. and, having played the
