EMPIRE STATE HAS FURNISHED BASEBALL
 WITH MANY STARS

Players born in the Empire State seem to take particular delight n shattering the fondest hopes of man agers of Manhattan teams. When the Highlanders had a chance to win the American League pennant in 1904 the Boston team, that dealt them their death blow, was pi1oted by a man born in Buffalo, Jimmy Collins, and the game that decided the champion ship was pitched by a native of Syr- acuse=Wiiliam Henry Dinneen.

MEYERS HOME RUN
 DEFEATS WHITE SOX

San Diego, Cal, Nov. 11-Chief Meyers made fitting celebration of his return to his home region the Mission country, yesterday afternoon in the game between the Giants and the White Sox. It was a home-run wallop by the Indian in the ninth in ming that put the Giants in front and gave them the game by to 3. There were quite a few fellow Mission In dians in the stands and when the Giant catcher sent the four base hit over the right-held fence the redskins let out a war whoop that could be heard over at the City Hall.
 Bunny Hearne did the pitching for the DlcGraw clan, while Death Valley Scott shot across the pill for the Cal Iahan men. Outside of the homer scored against Scott by Meyers, the tw1rIers came through on even terms. each yielding nine hits. The Giants were assisted in their run getting by a trio of errors.
 The second round gave each team a single tally, but the Giants went to the fore in the fourth inning, when they got a brace of runs across the rubber. The Sox got a second count in the sixth and in the ninth tied the game up. Then, in the last half of the final round, with two down. Meyers came on deck with his all- conquerfng swat, catching the sec ond ball pitched right on the trade

RITCHIE EATERS CROSS IN SNAPPY
 10 ROUND BATTLE

Willie Ritctie, holder of the world lightweight championship, gave Leach Cross the most artistic trimming that the New Yorker has suffered in his long ring career in their ten-round bout at Madison Square Garden last night. It was the first appearance of the title holder in New York since he won the title from Ad Wolgast al- most a year ago, and he left the inn pressfon among [, 7,00O boxing enthusi- asts that the title is safe in his hands for some time to come. When he climbed from the ring to battle through a throng of admiring thous- ands who blocked his way to the dress ing room all doubts as to his clever ness, hitting ability, and stamina had been dispel1ed and the idea that he was an accidental champion had van- ished like mist before the sun.
 That the bout went beyond the third round was due to some judicious ring generalship on the part of Cross, who came nearer to a knockout in that chapter than at any time since Fight ing Dick Hy1and put him to sleep out on the coast almost five years ago. Leach finished the tense situation with one of his old-tfne "stalls,'' but there was no sta1ling on the trip he took to the canvas shortly after the be- ginning of the third round. Ritchie backed away from one of Leach's leads, and as the New Yorker came in with head down the champion shot up a snappy short right uppercut to Cross jaw. The punch had hardly reached it's target before another of the same kind, but carrying more pow CT, followed to the same place. No log ever dropped more Iifeless than did Cross when that second punch reached home.
 His second threw water from the corner. to the centre of the ring, but it missed him. While many of the spectators were reaching for their coats with the idea that it was all over, Cross employed some of that wonderful recuperative power which carried him to success in some of his past fights, and he was able to get on his feet as Referee Billy Joh was raising his hand to toll off the finish ing count. It was the closest of close calls.
 Ritchie, intent on a speedy victory, tore after Cross as soon as Leach re- gained his feet, but his punch lacked direction and hit Cross on the shoul- der, pushing him toward the cham pion's coSner, where Leach went to the floor again. Leach, still a bit dazed from the pair of uppercuts, realized that in a time of such distress the nine-second count is often a life saw CT, so he took nine more while resting on one knee. When he got up the second time the New Yorker covered up, and then began one of his stalls an opening. Harry Foley, Ritchie's whose voice almost drowned the yelling of the crowd during the evening, cautioned Ritchie to stand back and box. So the ruse proved a failure.

YALE ORGANIZING DEFENSE
 FOR STRONG PRINCETON
Knowles Expected To Outkick Law Of The Tiger Eleven On
 Saturday

Starting with yesterdays practice at Yale field, the Ellis football team be- gan it's work aimed at warding off the Princeton attack this Saturday, In fact almost all the week will be spent in developing a defense based on the notes made by members of the Yale coaching staff at last Saturdays con test at Princeton.
 Cornell filled Ainsworth's old posi- ton at left halfback in yesterdays signal drill, but it is hoped that the injured man will be out in a few days. There is some feeling that Ketcham who has been moved to end, should return to defensive guard and offen- sfve center, but this matter will not be decided by the coaches quite yet. Wheeler ran the scrubs, with Cald- well playing center.
 Pumpel1y executed several neat drop kicks from the 3o-yard line and did not seem any the worse for his ab- sence of some weeks from the Yale lineup. Robinson, who was tried out in the Brown game, will probably play in that position now that Cooney is considered unable to play for the rest of the season on account of his knee,

JIM TEN EYCK TO
 COACH YALE CREW
Announcement Of Securing Syr- acuse Veteran Will Be Made
 Tn Few Days

The important announcement will probably be made this week by Capt. Denegre of the Yale crew that James A. Ten Eyck. the veteran rowing coach, now at Syracuse, would be en- gagged to coach the Eli crews next spring. A meeting of the Rowing days, at which a radical change in the Yale navy will be announced.
 For the past few seasons, Yale has been trying to establish the English system of rowing. The system has been failure, and Yale has been con- sistent1y defeated by Harvard. Ya1e's latest defeat was by Princeton on Lake Carnegie two weeks ago. The united protests of alumni and under graduates has necessitated a change in policy, and the plan which will be adopted will call for a professional coach who will work under the grad uate supervisors of rowing. The feel ing at Yale at present is that Ahe rowing systems and the English stroke is farce"
 Old Jim Ten Eyck, whose Syracuse four other crews the Hudson last June, is the available man for the place. There are few professional rowing coaches who are able to swing a big job like this, and of the few Ten Eyck has shown himself just kse capable as Charley Courtney, at Itha- ca.
 Courtney is a fixture at Cornell, Jim Rice at Columbia, and Jim Wray at Harvard. Ten Eyck has always work ed under a handicap at Syracuse be- cause of limited funds and rowing ma teriaL Considering this he has accom- plished wonders.

WRAY TO COACH
 CRIMSON OARSMEN
Victorious Instructor Will Be Given Three Year Contract
 By Harvard

| Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 11.-James S. Wray will continue at the helm of Harvard's crew. The present profes- sional coach shortly will be offered a new contract which will call for his presence in Cambridge for the coming three years
 The installation of the graduate sye- tenn of coaching at Harvard was for a time seriously considered, but in the light of Yale's present plight in the conduct of it's rowing this step was abandoned
 Speculation is rife as to who will handle the Yale oarsmen next spring. It Is believed here that either James Ten Eyck, the present Syracuse coach, or Guy Nickells, brother of the Pennsylvania English rowing instrue- tor. will be selected to train. the Eli crews for the races with Harvard in June.

 The weakness of the Harvard left wing has caused some anxiety among the coaches.

Hitch cock is a great tackle but seems to, be in a temporary slump

which proved to be more serious than was at first supposed.
 Of said Yale backs Dunn is the line plunger and selection for the heaviest work. Last year he was off the squad, but made the 1911 varsity.
 Cornell, Ainsworth and Knowles are all fast on their feet and hold their feet well, and the first and last named are of the chunky type.
 Altogether the Yale backfeld, at present shaped, is certainly of average caliber and in some particulars very good, Guernsey, it should be said, is a substitute punter for Knowles, but by no means Knowles equal.
 Just as the Ellis showed a good bunting game last Saturday they showed one other vital thing-that they do not tumble. Last year the funbling fault practically killed New Haven. Whatever else may happen, and whatever crudeness there may be in certain directions, there may be in certain directions, like interference, at the end of things you will see prac- tically no Eli fumbling November 15 nor November 22, and, in fact, less than either of the other chaps will show. There is one lesson learned.

ENTIRE OUTFIELD FROM
 SAME MINOR LEAGUE

Probably for the first time in the history of major league baseball q major league next season will have an entire outf1eld that graduated from the same minor league lot. The Bos- ton Nationals have drafted Larry Gil- bert from Milwaukee, Pete Compton from Kansas City and Dutch" Zwill ing from St. Joseph-and every one of them is a Battle Creek player who jumped to bigger fields.
 Compton was sold to the St. Louis Americans. Last fall St. Louis let him go to Kansas City, where he prov ed a whirIwind ZwiIIing came to Battle Creek in 1910 from Bay City. He batted .326, third man in the lea que, and was sold to the Chicago White Sox, who later let him go to St. Joseph, Mo.
 Larry Gilbert joined the club as Ieft-handed pitcher. In 1912 Manager McKernan decided to make him n outfie1der for his hitting. Milwaukee took him in the spring of 1913. The 1913 draft included all three, and by an odd turn of fate Boston got them all.
