Careful guidance by the controlling authorities will probably be necessary to prevent an athletic tangle between Columbia and Yale because of the an nouncement from New Haven that Tom Howard, the hockey coach. had contracted with the Yale team for his services for the coming winter. Early in October it was announced by the Columbia University committee on athletics that Howard had been ap- proved as a coach for the Blue and White hockey team for 1913-14, and he had already taken charge of the Columbia players in their preliminary practice. xs

SAYS JOE, TINKER
 WOULD HELP BROOKLYN

"If we had Tinker think we'd make 8 great fight for the pennant." This is the opinion of Charles Ebbets, supreme king of the Brooklyn Dodgers. If you're not Brooklyn rooter the chances are maybe you would disagree wits the esteemed squire. However. there is some basis for Ebbet's opinion There is one hole in the Brooklyn club that needs a little tinkering. This is at shortstop. If Fbbets can swing a deal which will bring the former Cub star and erstwhfle RedIeg leader to Brooklyn the McKeever interests will
 make a ten strike in baseball. With Tinker on the Brooklyn club baseball men say that siWilbert Robinson Will be in a position to- give the Giants ct al a hard fight for the honors next season.
 Tinker has been in the pastime for quite spell. But Joe fs far from being on his last legs. He is still able to hop about quite a bit. That he still ranks high Is shown by the fact tha-t several big league clubs are after him. Tinker says he will quit baseball unless Hermann trades him. If Tinker fa sincere it would pay Hermann to dis pose of him. s2Ebbets is in a position to make a good bid for him, and if be can't get him by trade baseball men Say it would pay the Brooklyn club to purchase him.
 Tinker to-day Is one Of the beat shortstops in the business. He is an experienced player and would All the bill without any trial being necessary Shortstops are easy to get, but the right kind are not, Not alone ts he a good fielder, but a valuable batter | as well. The addition of Tinker would 1 give Brooklyn another 900 per cent hitter, and with Daubert, Wheat. smith
 and Stenge1 Robinson would have one
 of the best hitting clubs in the Nat
 iona1 League. If he wants Tinker
 Ebbets will have to fight hard for him

 In order to please some magnates who wish to attend the International and National league meetings in New York, President O'Rourke has post poned the Eastern association gather ing until December 1e. He had issued a call for December 10 but as Owner C1arktn of Hartford and others de- sired a change, it was given them. The Eastern magnates want to be on hand at the big league meetings so they can make deals for players.
 It is probable that the season will open a week later next year and close later. Some bad weather was en- countered at the start in the last cam paign. The matter of the post season series with the New England league winners will also be taken up. Hart ford closed a week earlier than Lowell in the recent series and the Senators gained nothing by being idle for a week An effort will be made to have the two leagues close on the same date.

HOW LAFAYETTE WROTE TO HIS WIFE

Very little is known of the private life
of the Marquis de Lafayette. and abou.
the only episodes of his life with which
we are familiar date from the time he
came to this country TO assist the strug-
Cling colonists to gain their liberty The
military and political side of his life has
so obscured his domestic story that few
of us know anything about his family af-
fairs, o rthat it was his wife, among all
his relatives and friends, who encouraged
Lafayette to come tc this country and help
us in our darkest hour
Though Lafayette was left an orphan
with a large fortune, at the age of 49, he
did not waste his money, his time, nor his
Duke de Noailiies, a family of wealth and
rank, but he asked her to become his wife
because he loved her One of his most
charming letters was written to her FROM
Charlestown on June :, 1777;
Il am still floating on this dreary plain,
the most wearisome of all human habita-
tions. ro console myself little, think
of you and OF my friends, | think of the
pleasure of seeing you again. How de-
lightfui will be the moment of my arrival,
/ snail hasten To surprise ana embrace

children.
'To think only of that happy moment
is an inexpressible pleasure to me; do not
fancy that it is distant; although the time
of my absence will appear own very long
to me- yet we shall meet sooner than you
can expect, without being able TO fix the
day or the month OF our reunion.
II hope that for my sake you will be-
come good American, for that feeling is
worthy of every noble heart. The hap
piness of America is iii.fmately connected
with the happiness of all mankind; she
win become the safe and respected asy-
lum of virtue, integrity, liberation, equal
ity and tranquil happiness.

tinue my letter. as / have recently for

sci; see how prudent have become. Once

guided by my heart it is not necessary to

Madame Lafayette's maiden name was
Anastasie de Noailiies. She was ie-
scendant of Pierre de Noaillies, who was
