SPORTING NOTES.

Princeton has yet to develop punt
err. HOBBY Baker has been assuming thu
burden of this phase of the sport, but
has been showing lamentably weak form
according TO all reports. 1t is said that
his kicks have not been averaging 81
yards. This is wretched distance wher
compared with those of Knowles OF Yale
Hardwick and Mahan OF Harvard.
In the past three years the Navy has
won over the Army by virtue of strength
in field goal kicking. In 1910 the Navy
won to 0 and in 1911 they won by
the same score. in 1912 Annapolis won
| 9 TO o. Every time the scores were
made from field goals. This season both
the Army and Navy have proficient kick
ers. Benedict of the Army kicked two
field goals against Rutgers last Satur'
day. and Woodruff, also of the Army
kicked field goal in the Rutgers game.

The football championship of southern
colleges is expected TO be transferred
from Vanderbilt to the University of
Virginia, according to the opinion of Vir-
ginia people. Virginia has an exception
ally strong team this fall and expects
to take the Vanderbilt team into camp.
For several seasons past the Vanderbilt
college has won the southern champion
ship with ease.
Yale is practically the only big col
lege football team to keep clean slate
to date. While Yale has only scored So
points. it has managed TO keep its goal
line unblemished. Princeton is the top
notcher in scoring. Already it has piled
up Ill points. The Indians are next
with l04 points and Dartmouth third
with 80. Penn follows next in order.
Neither the Army nor the Navy has
been scored on this fall.
George Whiteman, who played with
the Chancemen during the closing days
of the past American league season, will
be seen with the Montreal international
lea guers next season. President Farrell
of the New York Highlanders and Presi-
dent Liehtenheim OF the Montreal club
completed negotiations this week where
BY the latter club would have the sery-
ices of Whteman during the next sea-
son. Whiteman was purchased by the
New York team from Houston of the
Texas league. He was hailed as q world
beater, but Chance found many defects
in his playing With Montreal he should
star as hitter. Lichtenheim also pur-
chased this week McGraner, a left-hand-
ed pitcher, from the Cincinnati club.
Mike Donlin, the veteran baseball
player, is to wed again. Donlin, who
won fame with the Giants and who is
now a member of the Jersey City club,
will marry Miss Rita Ross, daughter of
Charles Ross, of Ross and Fenton, the
well-known vaudeville team.
Peter johnson, the colt owned by
James Boutwell, of Montpelier. is max
ing a wonderful showing on the grand
circuit this season. The johnson trot-
ter won the first race entered in this
season and then contracted cold. The
colt has been weak ever since, but its
showing has been remarkable, neverthe-
less.
Ii is now quite certain that Ed kon-
etehy, the big first baseman of the st.
Louis Nationals, will be traded next sea
son. Konetchy played during the st.
Louis City series only under the conGi-
tions that he be traded by his owners
next season. A rumor that gains cred
ence is that he will be sent to the New
York Giants for Fred Merkle.
