Get 1io p;tc.,ars


 Get US big pitchers" was the gen. eral order to the scouts of major league clubs when they began looking for talent this year. For some req son the managers in fast company have decided that medium sized or small pitchers are not desirable. They want heavy weights, like Matty. Tes- reau, Ed Walsh, Coombs, James and others. In searching the bushes for young giants, however. the scouts have been stumped. They say that there are no such pitchers of merit: in fact there are few first class play CTS in any position. Big pitchers are preferred because they can stand more work than the little fellows.
 Writers around the circuit are get ting wise to the absurdity of the so- called Cincinnati hit The '+Cincin- nati" will be chucked out of the big leagues, the coming winter, but whether or not that happens 1t should be wiped out of existence in this cir cuit.-Springheld Republican.

Chattanooga, November 16.-(Special)
Reports in regard to the Somers-Frank
embroglio at New Orleans have been
emanating from every town in the circuit
with unusual frequency, but few of them
have possessed authentic information.
Chattanooga. although 1t is far removed
from the seat of the squabble, is in real
ity the most fruitful field of all for real
information In the matter because of the
fact that persons vitally interested and af-
fected are at present In this burg.
A conflict between civil and baseball
law is in reality entirely responsible for
the present confused state in Pelican base
ball circles. President Charles Somers
of the Maps has already removed Charley
Frank as pilot of the Pels, but he cannot
remove him as president Of the New Or
, leans club, a corporation organized under
state laws until q regular meeting OF the
stockholders is held. This will occur JAN
uary s. and on that date Somers, as ma
1ority stockholder will install Johnny

1t has been rumored that Elberfeld might

likely.
Just what the actual causes are for
the breach between Frank and Somers
are problems which rumor alone attempts
to dispose of. 1t is known, however, that
Frank has been dissatisfied with New Or
leans being made the dumping ground
of the Maps when other good material

punch saved the Tigers from d defeat.
Same Old Story
1t WAS the same old story of Prince

which, when it went wrong, upset the
whole combination and sent the Tigers
back to an individual game, Ill which
even the fundamental of football We're
forgotten When in desperation the IL
gers quarterback called tor trick plays
to outwit the watchful Els the move
was bungled by some one of the Prince
ton combination. Even Captain Baker
was not above fumbling at critical mo-
ments and only his feat in kicking a
field goal, from the 42-yard line, caused
him to rise above mediocre playing of his
teammates.
Yale, while outrushing, outpunting and
generally outplaying the Tiers, failed
to win because of fumbles and poorly
conceived play in critical moments. But
another week of coaching and practice
will permit a welding together Of the dis
organized parts of Yale's reconstructed
team and Eli would have better chance
of holding the Crimson in check than
was conceded 10 days ago
Dart mouths Aspirations Shattered
Just as Yale prospects improved as the
result of her play against Princeton the
championship aspirations of Dartmouth
were shattered by the ''red juggernaut"
constructed by Glenn Warner, from the
pupils at the Carlisle Indian school. The
score of 35 to 10 demonstrates clearly that
the victory of the Aborignes over the
EianoYermen was not due to any flule.
It is a peculiar fact in connection with
Carlisle football teams that the longer
and harder the schedule tile greater the

progresses.
