FORMER YALE
CAPTAINS WANT
PAID COACHES

New Haven, Jan. S-Yale's former
Football captains are united in favor
ing the new system of a paid grad
uate coach. which was announced
Monday by Capt Ketcham Several
stated their views in The Yale Daily
News
Henry Wheaton. Annapolis coach,
said Personally, am dead against
any older graduate coming back to be
head field coach, for the reason that
there is no one man big enough for
the job 1 may be wrong, but would
deem It a favor if some one would in
form me where this 'one-man' idea
has made good
favor of Mr. Camp as advisory coach,
Foster Sanford as head coach, and DR..
Bull as kicking coach. 1 believe it is
= condition and not theory that
from the football of the eighties, and
we have got to get back to fundament-
ais
l. H. BigeIow, Sd, 1908, said: my
scheme would be this: A committee of
five men picked by the captain This
committee is to act in an advisory
of strategy, for every one knows that
he is the greatest football strategist
that ever we had. Then would have
a field coach, who is TO have charge
of teaching the fundamentals of Yale
football. and the man for that job is
Foster Sanford
a committee of five men, the captain
TO be supreme in choosing them, and
the next years captain to have the
right to choose again if he wants to-
And I think that Howard Jones would
be a good man for the job of head
coach. if Mr.. Camp is chairman of
the committee, working in an advis-
DRY way
Walter Camp, sr., said: E'I am in
clfned to think that we have come to
the point where the advisory commit
. tee and a paid head coach is would
he the most effective system. I am
a great believer in Mr. Hinkey. 1
saw him play the game. saw him de-
Velop, and think that he has foot
ball talent and brains
Capt. ketcham said that he would
not announce his committee of five
for several days yet, but that Walter
Camp would be one. They will name
the paid graduate coach later. He
will probably be either Foster Sanford,
Howard Jones' or Frank Hinkey-

BAN JOHNSON CONFINED
TO HOME BY ILLNESS

Chicago Jan. 8-Another postpone
ment of the annual meeting of the
National Commission in Cincinnati
became necessary yesterday as the re-
suit of the continued illness of Presi-
dent Ban Johnson of the American
League Johnson is confined to bed
with a bad cold
There is no possibility of Johnson get
ting out for several days, and it may
be a week before he is able, to travel
stMr. johnson is a very sick man, "
said Mrs Johnson, e'but his sickness
is not serious. He will be unable to
leave the house for at least two days
Frank Farrell, president of the New
York Americans called on Johnson
last night Farrell said his visit had
nothing to do with the Chance mat
ter. as he merely called on the league
president to pay his respects and to
offer his sympathy
President Johnson is irritated be-
cause he got sick at this time and pre-
vented the meeting of the National
Commission. He sent telegram to
Garry. Hermann, chairman of the com
mission, in which he expressed his re-
gret at being unable to attend the
Commissions meeting. He is particu-
larly sorry for President Lynch of the
National League who either will have
to stay in Cincinnati until next week
or return to New York for few days
and make a. second trip.

FRANK FARRELL?

other sunset.
president of the American League,
who is i'll at his home here. Farrell
took with him a very light heart:
This frame of mind was a decided
contrast to his sentiments of the
morning. Long before he rolled into
Chicago the owner of the YANKEES
had learned of the Peerless Leader 9
for at least the current year. Mr..
Farrell was in a fever OF great ex-
citennent when he reached the city
The old Roman, Charles Corniskey, APP
peared little less perturbed.
Chances train was several hours
late, and it was after noon when the
orange grower and the New York
magnate effected a conference at the
Congress- Hotel They had been clos
eted less than an hour before Mr. Far
re1 made his appearance IN the cor
ridors and announced that he had
hopes of influencing Frank Chance to
change his mind.
Then he went back into session with

ally decided to knock on Tor the Gay
the air of mystery which marked all
their deliberations was still in evil
dence. Farrell, however, was more
than hopeful; Chance evidently but
half decided either way.
Ne details of the 'bartering were an
nounced, but it was ruulored that the
H1Iltop boss had offered salary of
approximately 500, 900, with contract
for a term of years and an opportun-
ity to buy into the club stock.
There are those in the Windy City
szeptfcal enough to maintain that
Frank Chances announced retirement
of yesterday morning was more than
half bluff on the part of the former
Cub leader. These point out that
Chance evidently sta,ked his baseball
future on a bold stroke and thus fore
ed Frank Farrell to offer more liberal
terms than he otherwise might have
done.

PRINCETON TEAM
HAS POOR OUTLOOK
FOR BASEBALL YEAR

Princeton and Brown have begun
baseball practice with small squads,
only the battery candidates being call

Princeton has been necessitated by
the absolute lack of battery material

backstop position, and king Lear,
last years mainstay on the mound
Lear was practically the only reliable

ing season on account of his studies.
Greenbaun, who was first substitute
last year, and two of the other most
likely candidates have been lost by
graduation. No strong material is
available from last years freshman
nine, so Coach 'fBiT' Clark feels rather
anxious as TO the prospects for the
approaching season. Practice for
three catchers and four pitchers for
three afternoons a week until the reg
MAR practice starts. is the decree.

RED SOX WILL
STAND PAT ON TEAM

Boston, Jan IA team which won
fthe worlds championship looks good
enough to start another season with, -
said James R. tMcAleer, president of
the worlds champion baseball club
referred to, and who got back to Bos-
ton at 3 D. m Yesterday to begin
making everything ready for the next
campaign after championship gold
AND glory. Mr. McAleer was being in
terviewed at the Copley Square hotel,
where Mrs. McAlser and he live this
winter
The proposition laid down by the
boss of the Red SOx puts the triple
kibosh upon a large number of ru-
rlors that have been floating up and
down the wind during his absence
McAIeer did verify the report how
ever that Larry Pape will not pitch
for Boston in 1913. When Lajoie's
name was brought up, McAleer's at
titude simply became that of a club
owner who could not in fairness to
another club owner, say or do any
thing which might make the 1atter's
task more difficult & bringing a. star

THE PLAZA

Tt is an old saying in the theatrical
business that the man who has the
goods is the one who succeeds. 1t is
plainly evident that the popular favor
into which pictorial vaudeville at the
Plaza has leaped with a bound is be-
cause Enthusiastically it delivers the
goods. The high quality and uni
forrnly artistic quality of the show
have surprised even those who ex-
pected most and nothing but en-
thusiastic praise is heard. Today af-
fords the last opportunities to enjoy
the conspicuousIy entertaining open
ing bill, in which al Herman, the
blackface monologuist is pulling down
the laughter in big chunks, while the
LaWana Trio is delfghting both ear
and eye with its eminently artistic
musical Offering. Patrick & Sampaer,
in their Irinh comedy singing sketch
and dainty Lupeta Perea, in her dar-
ing stunts on the .trapeze, each also
contribute much to the enjoyab BILE. ma
ture of the bill. It is evident that as
theatrgoers become more and more

vantageS and attractions better and

cognition.
Tomorrow's entirely new bill will be
headed by the Monarch Comedy Four
in ro1licking whir1 of melody and
nirth, and O'Brien and Buckley will
contribute a lively comedy musical
offering. Kenda1Ps Auto Girl is bound
to give the good guessers a run for
their money, and Madelyn Schone will
illuminate the humorous side of the
woman suffrage campaign. The new
motion pictures are promised to be
exceptional in dramatic and comedy
interest and the show as a whole
surely should prove just as enjoyable
as the excellent opening bill.

promising youngsters.
Carl Cashion, the speedy young twirl-

said to be hard at work at his Carolina
home trying to better his control. If
he could put the ball where he wanted

vigne, the French-Canadian Erne
then toured Europe, visiting his faith
erland, and defeating with ease the
best Hghtweights of the other side.
Upon returning to America Erne
fought Joe Cans. The Baltimore
colored boy gave a classy exhibition
up to the twelfth round, when he
quit, declaring that his eyes had been
''butted cIeah outen his haid.'' To
the spectators it seemed more a case
of cold feet that allied Joseph. Erne
got $4,000 for this fight, and a little
later got $500 for taking terrible
drubbing at the hands of Terry Nc
Govern. This bout lasted only three
rounds, and was McGovern's fight
from start to finish. Frank didn't
have a chance. He mad been forced
to train down to 12s pounds, and this
took all the strength and heart out
of him. In May, 1902, Erne again
met Cans at Fort Erie, Ont, and was
Knocked out in the first round, losing
the title. Later he won several bat
ties in England and became English
lightweight champion, but there was
little nutriment in that.

FRANK ERNIE, THIRD LIGHT
WEIGHT CHAMPION, BORN
80 YEARS AGO TO-DAY.

Frank Erne, who was the third
man to hold the lightweight cham
pionship of the world under Marquis
of Queensbury rules, was native
of Switzerland, and was born at Zu-
rich thirty-eight years ago to-day,
JAN g. 1875. Erne'S father was a
wine-grower. and that may account
for Franks trem endous consum ption
of the juice of the grape, which often
seriously interfered with his training.
Erne won the lightweight title by a
decision over Kid Lavigne in a TWEEN
ty-round bout at Buffalo, May 8, 1899.
He held the title about three years,
Joe Cans becoming his successor. Erne
began his pugilistic career at Buffalo,
where he had gone as a youth, and
where as a lad he was employed at
the Buffalo Athletic Club. The box
ing instructor observed that the Swiss
youngster was a promising fighter,
and Erne proved it by earning draws
in contests with George Siddons,
famed as the aH-day fighter, and
SoIly Smith. a good California boxer
Then he went to New York and took
though in a second bout he lost the
decision to the clever colored boy.
Beginning as a feathe ight, Erne
soon grew into a lightweight, and
challenged Kid Lavigne. The first La
vigne- Erne battle resulted in a draw,
aIthouAR the Swiss boxer might cas-
lily have won except for the advice of
his seconds. Erne then went to Cal
ifornia and knocked out Dial Hawkins
in the seventh round at San Francis
co, although E1rne himself had been
knocked down half a dozen times be
fore that Back in New York, Erne
took on George Elbows McFadden,
and had only a shade the best of it
in twenty-five rounds. A little later
he won the lightweight title from La
