EASY FOR HAMPTON.
Outplays and Beats Lincoln Univer-
sity by Score of 13 to o.

Hampton Institute left Lincoln Uni
versity with the big end of the - to 0
score Saturday. Lincoln's team, coached
by Pollard of Dartmouth, was clearly
outplayed by the Virginians. due large
ly to the toe of Chief" Bender Of the
Hampton school, the splendid work of
Gayle. who has been moved from tackle
to end, and the general splendid condi
ton Of the players of the Hampton
team.
Never before has this team shown
such proficiency in the rudimentary arts
of the game and, although the back
field does not loom up SO formida bic,
vet Bender in quarter and Gayle on end,
with the support of the line, seem
enough 10 make every game close.
Hampton'S scores came through open
play, with Gayle handling the long
passes of Bender with telling effect.
Wheaton of Lincoln played well, but
was unfortunate in not being able to
keep his feet at crucial moments. Both
teams Will improve, however, IS the
result OF Saturdays playing, this be-
ing the first game of consequence this
season.

BY J. ED GRILLO.

There is nothing unreasonable ABOUT
any one of the seventeen requests the
PLAYERS Fraternity has made of the ma
tionaI commission. The object of every
one of them appears to be to better the
PLAYERS condition, not SO far as their
salaries are concerned. but to give them
an even break in the contracts they are
forced to sign with the ball clubs. The
one strong objection to the present con-
tract is that it binds a player for HE,
while the club can release him any time it
sees fit The fraternity wants to remedy
this evil by giving the player the privi-
lege to sign where he pleases as soon as
he gets notice of his release, so that he
will at least have the chance to remain in
the class he has been in.
The chances are that every one of the
requests will be granted by the club own
ers i'm due time, for it is hard to see where
the clubs can suffer by their adoption,
while the PLAYERS are sure to feel better
satisfied under the conditions they pro-
pose
While Willie Keeler was never slug
ger. it is questionable if the game ever
developed a greater hitter than he. Wag-
ner. Lajoie, Cobb and Jackson are of the
slugging variety. They drive the ball a
great distance, but when 1t comes to
making effective hits just out Of reach

Harvard and Dartmouth are now the
only members Of the big Six which

opponents four times and been tied by
Colgate.

Business and Central are scheduled 10

row. Nothing hinges on the result CT
the contest. as far as any chdnce TOT
the championship il concerned, though
both will work hard to secure as good
a rating as possible Central especially
will do all i'll its power to prevent It's

ord if il could go through its season

1t was only to be expected that Cornell
would lose to Michigan. The lthacans
had not been showing near enough 70
warrant anybody thinking they could
beat the Wolverines. Defeats by Pitts
burgh and Harvard by decisive scores III
dicated that they were in for a beating.
1t was said last year that the defeats
sustained by Cornell We're due to the
change in the coaching system and that
il would not be until this year that the
real value of the system would show
Unless something other than defeats are
marked up for the Ithacans those who
have pinned their faith in that coaching
policy will begin to think that there IS
not as much in the system as they
thought Any system which does not
bring results in two years is apt to nave
a lot of faith lost in it, and not Without
reason.
1t is rather amusing to apply the sltua-
ton at Cornell to that which would pre-
vail in some small colleges under similar
circumstances. At Cornell they have
been waiting patiently for the system
introduced by Al Sharpe to show results
and although it is nearing the end OF
the second year. it has yet failed to
accomplish much Take the same condi-
lions in some minor colleges and the
coach would last about half a season. In
coach fails to bring results, no matter II
his system be absolutely new. he is flred
before the season is half over. and if the
coach who succeeds him fails 10 win his
games in the following two weeks, an
other is secured. Sometimes small col
leges have two, three and four men IN
charge of their teams at different times
Probably the difference in the way OF
looking at such situations is in the dill
ference in the big, broad plan looking
toward ultimate results and the smaller
way of considering only the present.

about where he wanted to- and it was
only on very rare occasions that a pitch

led the old National League in hitting
for several years, and Yet only few Of
his hits were hard hit balls. But when it

Joe Birmingham thinks that the next
race will be between Philadelphia. Cleve-
says that there is so little difference in
the strength of these teams that ii will
be largely question of which has the

The Maps manager also believes that
Detroit might prove a surprise, for he

AS a result of the ticket scalping scan
dial which developed during the recent
worlds series in New York il is likely
that an ordinance Will be passed which
will make it a msdemeanor to sell any
ticket to a place of amusement for more
than its face value. Such a law would
absolutely put stop to the selling o.
tickets for ball games at an eNorhi-
tant figure and would do away with the
necessity of having any system to battle
the scalperS. Under present conditions
there is no way to prevent an individual
from buying tickets and selling them at
advance prices. There has never been
any evidence that collision existed be-
tween the clubs and the scalpers. but
that there has been ticket Scalping there
is not the slightest doubt and the pro-
posed law would put an absolute end to
this practice.

Does it pay for ball clubs to change
ton that has been running loose for
a long time. Some argue that it does
and others that it doesn't.
All of which comes as the case may
be- There is one thing certain, though,
and that is: The clubs that keep the
same leader year in and year out gem
orally are up in the running. while those
that change each season generally land
down in the rut.
For example, take the Cardinals and
Browns since the season of 1911. Roger
Bresnahan did we'll in 1911, fell down
in 1912 and was let out. Miller Higgins
took up the job, but did little He'll
get another chance in 1914
Browns Change Often.
With the Browns it's the same. Bob
by Wallace tried in t.. and 1912 but
fell down. George Stovall was at the
helm in 1913. until he was deposed in
favor of Jimmy Austin, and the latter
in favor of Branch Hickey. He will try
his hand next year.
But, on the other hand, take look
at the manager role of the clubs that
are UP III the running year after year.
DO they change leaders often? They
do not.
Connie Mack has been the manager
for the Athletics for a good many years
and he again will take charge of the

five pounds OF comb honey.
An accurate estimate OF the amount
OF honey produced in Malheur county
the past season cannot be made. But
IL Is enough to know what can be
done by men. or women. who are
willing to work and study. If they

We know that alfalfa, aside from
its honey producing qualities, is one OF
the finest of forage plants, as a ooi

herd. II enriches the soil, grows with
the least care, and is the staple farm
product.
II is not the object of this article,

I is too well known TO be enlarged

know that il is practically the only
