HARRY SMITH TO LEAVE FOR SOUTH
AFTER NEWARK CLUB MEETING TODAY

Immediately after the meeting Of
the Newark International League
Clubs stockholders today, Manager
Harry Smith, of the Tigers, will
leave for the South to pick out a
training camp. Five Dixie towns
have offered invitations and special
inducements to the Bengal leader to
bring the Bengal champions in their
midst to train next spring.
First on the list is Cordele, Ca, q.
small town that comes highly recon-
mended. Next Is Brunswick, Ca;
the Board of Trade In that town has
wired Smith that everything possible
will be done for the Tigers conve-
nience If Smith will bring his cham
pions down there.
New Smyrna, Fla, name that
savors of the Orient, rugs and figs,
ETC., is also included In the list of
applicants. New Smyrna Is so small
that Smith never heard of 1t, though
he has been in every State in the
South. New Smyrna is such a re-
stricted locality, they say, that 1t
would be lost II stuck in the centre
of Newark's big parks. 1t may be
just the town, however. because
Smith thinks q town where there will
be few temptations and no gay
white way" to attract his players is
the ideal spring training camp.

ANNAPOLIS. Md, Dec. 2.-An in
cident in connection with the Army
Navy football game in New York
Saturday is being investigated by
naval academy authorities. Just be-
fore the game started Nichols, Navy
quarterback, was handed telegram
which said his father was seriously
Ill and requested him to start imme-
diately for home. The initials were
not those of Midshipman Nichols,
and he did not connect the signature
with any of his relatives. The tele-
gram was dated Baltimore. while
Nichols family live in Spartansburg,
S. C.
Although discrediting the telegram,
he felt some anxiety until he learned
his father was In good health. II the
telegram was the work OF some one
who wished to weaken the Navy
team, as has been suggested, Mich
oils naturally would have been Sc
lected, as upon him deyolved the Sc
lection of Nays plays.
Midshipman C. j. McReavey. Navy
halfback, who was put out of Satur-
days game with badly dislocated
knee and torn ligaments, is in the
Navy hospital. Surgeons say he
hardly will be fit for duty inside of
four weeks and will not be able to
take part in athletics this winter.
Perry, who played centre, was kicked
In the side and has an internal injury
but 1t is not thought to be serious.
