EW YORK, Sept 27.-New Eng
~ land is in the throes of football

teams at both Harvard and Yale, the
leading universities of the section, are
excellent. The Crimson clan that
routed the Blue a year ago is exceed

q T. LOUIS. MO, Sept 27.-Judging
from results George Stanings
has obtained with the present
crop of Braves" one is forced to the
conclusion that the difference between
q good ball club and a bum ball club
is: A manager. Stallings is a man
ager. He gets results.
Stallingsha no more than five ma
jOr league ball players and doesn't
pay them nearly as much as the st.
Louis players get. He has three good
pitchers in Tyler, Perdue and Rudolph,
a great fielding shortstOp in Maran-
vile and a hard hitting, hustling
second sacker in Sweeney. That let's
him out.
Manager Higgins is more fortunate
in the matter of material He has the
leagues premier southpaw in Sallee,
a great first sacker in Honey, one of
the game's best second basemen in
himself, major league Outfielders in
Magee and Cakes, who is going better
than ever before, and a reasonably

to enter the game at any time Vet
eran and substitute material for the
line also is abundant and when the
problems of filling the positions >of
quarterback and center are solved Har-
ward is going to have a football team
hard to defeat.
This is the very task that Yale foot
ball authorities have set for them
selves and despite the lack of anything
like the material that is at the disposal
of the Crimson coaches, there are those
who believe that il Is not impossible
Yale graduates and classmen are united
in the plan to revive the famous bull
dog spirit at New Haven and believe
that they will succeed
Yale Men in Good Condition.
The early practice at the Rhode Is
land seashOre sent the leading can
didates back to New Haven in excel
lent condition. With head coach How
ard Jones in charge; Silent Frank
Hinkey ands former players of his type
to assist; with Walter Camp as a gem
eral advisor and strateSist Yale has a
really formidable array of field gem
erals. Although it is conceded that
Harvard has a big advantage in her
wealth of stars and material, the be-
lief IS growing that when the Crimson
clashes against the Blue at Cambridge,
on November p. the stadium will wit

New Men Join Team
Two new men were brought home
from the west. One is Milton Stock,
an infielder. who is not exactly new
to the Polo grounds, but who has spent
the past season under the watchfuI eye
Of Nike Finn, at Mobile, down in the
Southern league. Milton has made two
training trips with the Giants, and
has twice been planted in the far
sticks, but it is believed that next sea-

It might be explained here, though,
that BOston's prospects for a winner

Even money on the Giants to win
the worlds series is Being placed in
New York city. One broker has offered
to bet $1,000 at even money that the
Giants win the flag. He also expressed
his willingness to bet $500 to $1,000
on the Athletics. One bet of $500 has
already been made on the foregoing
terms.
Jimmy Johnson, the New York figh+
promoter, offered secretary of state
William J. Bryan $500 to make a shcIt
talk to the fight fans on the night OF
the Nliller-PalZer fight. Bryan refused.
In a letter to a friend, Johnson said
that he naturally wanted Bryan as an
attraction. Johnson considered that
he would have packed the house, and
even if he did not, the S3O0 was in the
shape Of a guarantee.
Joe Jackson will have to take a de-
cided brace if he expects to beat Ty
Cobb in the American league batting

As the result of a sightseeing tour
of Ty Cobb through the national treas

ury, has issued an irOnclad order for

more than any other department in
Washington is filled with baseball fans.
Cobb being a director of a bank in
Georgia, was allowed to write his

Dick Donald, manager of Bud Ander-
son, the Oregon lightweight, has closed
negotiations for bout between An

be staged at San Francisco in the near
future Donald declares that he got
$1,000 training expenses for Bud and
a privilege of One-third of the gate
receipts. If Anderson beats AZevedo
he will be matched with some good
lightweight at San Francisco on
Thanksgiving day. provided that Willie
Richie and Tommy Murphy can't get
together.
Eddie Maier, president of the Venice
Coast league club, has declared that he
would not sell any of his players to
the Chicago Cubs for $50. The Cubs
have already drafted Elmer KOestner,
for a measly $500. KOestner was with
the Cleveland Maps in 1910. but didn't
show up well enough to be retained.
Chicago before the draft, offered $4,000
for KOestner and it was refused.
Hap Hogan, manager of the Venice
team and y of his men were baniShed
to the clubhouse in Thursdays game
at Oakland, by umpire Pyle. The play

decision handed down by Pyle, and be-

Mr.. Pyle and all players that were not
on the field were ordered out of the

has cost tire users millions of dollars.
The 9 rivet''. fabric is our breaker strip.
Note the openings in it. = We force the tread
rubber down through these openings, so
hundreds of large rubber rivets are formed to
