NO. So.
Washington saw as plainly as any man
what was taking place. He was sensitive
to the movements of opinion; wishes
above all things to have the government
supported by the peoples approval: was
never weary OF writing to those who were
in a position to know to ask them what
they and their neighbors soberly thought
about the questions and policy under de-
bate; was never so impatient as to run
recklessly ahead of manifest public opin-
ion.
He knew how many men had been re-
PEELED by the measures he had supported
Hamilton in proposing; knew that reac-
ton had set in; that even to seem to re-
pulse France and refuse her aid or sym
pathy would surely strengthen it
The men who were opposed to his fnan-
cial policy were also the men who most
loved France, now she was mad with
revolution. They were the men who dread
ed a strong government as a direct men,
ace to the rights alike OF individuals and
of the separate States; the men who held
a very imperative philosophy of separa-
ton and OF revolt against any too great
authority.

Mr.. Wilson's Good Political Reasoning

President Wilson's plan of confer
cnces. with Senator La Toilette may in
dicate more than sympathy with the
Wisconsin Republican Senator's pro-
gressive policies 1t may mean that
the administration hopes to coax into
the Democratic fold liberal Republi-
cans who declined further adherence
TO the Progressive party. when the
break occurred with Mr. Taft
In last years campaign radical
Republicans turned from Mr. Roosevelt
TO Mr.. Wilson, and the situation be-
came complex There were Republi-
cans voting for Mr.. Wilson because
they were hopeless OF Mr.. Taft and
did not wish to see Mr. Roosevelt
elected. On the other hand, there
were Democrats who voted for Mr..
Roosevelt because his platform suited
their views better, just as there we're
ultra-conservative Democrats who yot-
ed for Mr.. Taft, because they fought
shy of either of the progressive can
didates
Evidently Mr.. Wilson believes that
some of the progressive element can
be dislodged from the Republican
ranks and that his party could get a
share OF it. This would not be bad
political reasoning. Senator La Fol-
lctte repudiated Roosevelt In the
West he has a following that remains
loyal to him If he could be induced
TO join the Wilson forces, perhaps a
number OF his followers would fol-
low suit. And this would help Mr..

M'GRAW LIKELY TO
 LOSE THIRD EASTMAN

According to fan in close touch with the affairs of the Giants, Man ager McGraw will be without a regular third baseman next year, neither TiIlie Shafer nor Charley Herzog in tend to return to New York. It was only after repeated requests that Til lie, of scented note fame, was induced to return to the ranks the past season. Shafer has all kinds of money, and he is of a temperament that doesn t
 like to come in contact with the rude ball players" It Is stated that all last season Shafer held absolutely aloof from the rest of the team, not caring to associate with them, and whenever any of them said an inn proper word he was very much shocked.
 When the worlds series ended he told in confidence that he'd never leave California to play ball again. The reasons for Herzog not caring to come back are entirely different. He | feels that he wasn't squarely treated 1 by the management in forcing him to
 warm the bench all season and only l putting him in the worlds series out of necessity He declared that his showing in the previous worlds series with the Red Sox entitled him to the permanent possession of third base l and when he was taken off the bag his | feelings got an awful bump. He says he has plenty of money to keep the
 wolves and sharks from the door of his Maryland cante1oupe farm for
 many years to come.
 r With these two men missing Eddie | Grant is likely to be given custody of the third station.

NEW YORK ALUMNI STANDING BACK OF
 MERCHANTS TEAM

An unusual manifestation of confi- dence in the Yale football team Is be- ing shown at the Yale Club in New York, where some of the members have prepared a long telegram, which will be sent to Capt Ketcham this week The message is of about 400 words and will be signed by several hundred members.
 Capt Ketcham is informed that the Yale men have so much confidence in the Yale team that they are certain that it will defeat Princeton on Satur- day and Harvard on the following regret to the Yale leader of having lost many valuable players through Injuries.
 It is the general impression among Yale men that the team has at last found itself, and with an army Of coaches At New Haven to put on the finish. the team will come fast to it's Top form for the Princeton game at New Haven on Saturday.

YALE TO HAVE FAMOUS
 ROWING MENTOR SOON

Here is the latest report about Yale rowing:
 Eugene J. Giannfni, for many years the rowing mentor of the New York A. C., is to be the rowing coach at Yale University. Those in a position unanimous in the opinion that the se- lection of Giannini is one of the wisest moves made by the Yale row ing authorities in the past decade
 Only one thing can prevent Clan mini from taking immediate charge of the Yale knights of the ashen blade. and that is the refusal of the New York A. c. to release him. He is under contract to the club, and of course the Mercury Foot governors are 10th to lose him, on account of his versatility for he trains the crews in the Summer and manages the gym nasium in the Winter.
 The matter of the release will be settled at the next meeting of the clubs athletic committee, which will be held in a couple of weeks.
 In the selection of Gianninf Yale will not be confronted with any prob lematical theories in rowing, or new -fang1ed stunts in the handling of the oar. Instead the Eli advisors will have a man who can walk down comm ence his operation of eeachlns without having to experiment on styles or wrinkles or any supposedly new fads in pulling the sweep. Gianninis style is easily mastered. and just as easily executed, without the least strain to the body or the lega- There are no jars, bucking or over reaching, but the smoothest action all the way through the stroke.

He points out that it is remarkable that the '8S score of 696 to O does not seem to have been duplicated by any bona fide college playing team and it is a coincidence that the rowing rec ord made by the Yale crew at New London in the same year still stands.
 At the dinner, tonight, Captain Cor bin also will entertain eight former Yale football captains, one crew, one track and one baseball captain.

YALE COACH RATES
 HARVARD OVER TIGERS

New Haven. Nov. 12-Many of the Yale football. coaches, yesterday, made public their analysis of the Harvard Princeton game of last Saturday, and practically all agree that Princeton outplayed the Crimson in the first half but that the latter strengthened in the second half. The only dissenting opinion on the merits of the Harvard team is from Dr. w. T. Bull, who says
 Princeton is considered Harvard s equal by the majority of the followers of the game but I am firm in the be- lief that if those two teams should meet five times during one week. liar ward would win four games out of ffves'

Oxnard, Cal, Nov. 12-Sam Craw- ford's home run in the third inning was the feature of the game here yesterday between the Giants and the White Sox. The Giants won by a score of 3 to 2. Mathewson, pitching for the Giants, allowed twelve hits, struck cut three men and gave one walk.

BIG CHANGES IN
 HARVARD ELEVEN
BradIee Goes To HaIfback, Hard wick To End And StOrer
 To Tackle

Cambridge, Mass, Nov PA big change was made in the Harvard team yesterday afternoon, when Hardw1cA was shifted from backfield to end, Storer moved back to his old position at tackle. Hitchcock moved into guard, Bradlee taking Hardwick's place in the baca1fieid, with Cowan as first substi- tute.
 The team as 1t lined up was: Left end, O'Buien; left tackle, Storer; left guard, Hitchcock; right tackle, GIL man; right end. HardwicI; quarter Logan: halfbacks, BradIee and Mahan; fu11back. Brickiey.
 The reason for this change was that Bradiee was felt to be indispensable defensive playing in the Princeton game He played a great game. and 1t was mainly through his desperate defensive play that Princeton was kept from scoring in the first period.
 with Brad1es and Brrckley to do the heavy work and the fleet Mahan to run in the open plays, the bac1held should prove very strong. Hardwick will prove exceptionally strong at end, as he played right wing last year when eF1ton punted- He will also be good at receiving forward passes, as he han dles a football very cleverly. storer will be much more efficient at tackle than at end, owing to his experience
 Trumbull was not out in the suit. However. he Is expected to be in shape for the Yale game. It was believed he might be shelved from centre on ac- count Of Soucy's great work in Satur- days game. but the coaches have de- cfded to keep them both at the pivot position.
 On the whole this lineup looks much stronger than the original one, because it keeps Mahan and BradIee both i'll the game at the same time, instead of alternating, as before, and it also Erengthens the end position by put ling Harwick there.

but the first to fully develop the bih game as a science was Daniel Men dOza, who was also the first Jew to enter the ring.

KETCHAM RETURNS
 TO GUARD AGAIN
Yale Captain Will Be Used To Strengthen Line Against
 Princeton

At last the opportunity for the o1s- play of Ketcham's versatility as a football player in the Yale ranks Is to be checked by his return to guard. After a. try at end and having start ed the season at center, the Eli cap tain has been contesting with Storer, of Harvard, in the matter of chang ing his position, but now the coaches have decided that he is too valuable a man to be absent from the middle of the Yale defense, especially in view of the strengthening of the Crimson line yesterday.
 Brann, who has been ~out much of the season but who was counted on the earlier part of the year for some star end work, appeared at practice yesterday and was immediately placed at right end, with Avery at the other extremity of the lineup. Cornish was also present in citizens attire, all though his jaw, which was broken in the Colgate game, was in a sling.
 The short scrimmage, which was de- signed to test the teams power to oppose the Princeton plays, used by the scrubs, ended with a touchdown made by Dunn after series of line plunges- After this came individual sd work. Tom Shev1in devoted some time to training Brann and Avery and HeffeIfnger to the line in general Jack Ows1ey was also present for the first time. The lineup was: Avery, left end; Talbot, left tackle; Ketcham, left guard; Marrying, center; Robin son. right f1uard; Pendleton, right tackle; Brann, right end; Wilson, quarterback; Ainsworth, left halfback; Knowles, right ha1fback, and Dunn, fuI1back.

JEws AND NEGROES HAVE BEEN
 AMONG CLEvEREsT OF BOXERS

Clever boxing, rather than rough and-tumble slugging, is now the vogue on both sides of the Atlantic. Mere rnaulfng matches get little applause from the average audience of fight fans When you come to consider the question of who was responsible for the substitution of boxing for slugging in the ring, you find that no little of the credit belongs to the Jews and the negroes Jack Broug1ton, who reign ed as champion of England in the middle of the eighteenth century, and who was the inventor of tfmuffIers'' or gloves, was the first man to show any cleverness and science in the ring,
