 FOOTBALL CAME

New Haven. Conn. Oct. s1-Great was the surprise here yesterday when 1t was announced by the Yale ticket department that applications for tick cts to the Ya1e-Harvard game, to be played in the new Yale bowl. had numbered more than 10000 in excess of the seats in hand. The great ath- Ietic stadium, which will be thrown open November 21, seats 60.S59 per sons, and there will be standing room for 10000 more along the top of the bowl.
 If the day Is clear in all probability the full capacity of the bowl. about seventy-one thousand, will witness the struggle The capacity of the present Yale stands is 32,oso. so the crowd to witness this years football contest will be more than twice as large as the greatest number that ever saw a game on Yale Field.
 Applications for the Yaie-Harvard game close tonight at six o'clock. It was believed that there would be a public sale Of seats this year. but the demand for tickets has bean in excess of that expected and hundreds of ap- pIications are still in the mails.

 Jones returned to St. Louis from g. three-day trip. He denied that he has seen Johnson, but indicated that he was after him. Jones said:
 T cannot say if Johnson will be ob- tained by the St. Louis club. He wants a lot of money to come here. Even if we just met the salary he was paid this season by the Wash ington club, it would be a good sum. Personally, I am not in favor of huge salaries for ball players. They are overpaid now.

 At the annual meeting of the fran ch1se owners of the Texas Baseball League to be held at Dallas, a prop os1uon to reduce the league from an eight to a six club circuit will be con sidered. Several of the league mag mates are said to favor such a move but no forecast on the majority vote is possible. The 1914 season was ur- profitable in several oit1es and 1t is the idea of those advocating a reduc- ton in the circuit that the lapse of the game at one or two points for a, season or more will ultimately i'm prove the professional baseball sit uation in Texas.

The Ma tiona.1s, seeking revenge for Thurs days defeat in Seattle. treated Cole sunmercffu1ly, the Yankee pitcher be- ing bombarded for total of fouVteen hits. In addition, Coles teammates gave him poor support, and the Ma tiona1s carried off the honors to the tune of 10 to {.
 Jim Vaughn, star twir1er of the Chi cago Cubs in the last campaign, op- posed 'The Nng,'' and pitched ef- fective ball. Vaughn allowed only five hits, the Americans being unable to collect more than one in an inning Cole was bothered somewhat by the chilly atmosphere, the big fellow be- ing unable to locate the plate in the early innings. His passes, followed by timely hitting on the part of the Ma tionals, soon gave the representative of the Tener circuit a lead their rivals could not overcome.

NEW LONDON PLAYS
 YOST TOMORROW

The Rean-Yost boys Thursday. night finished their practice for tomorrow's s encounter. The Yost machine is powerful, there ds no doubt of that All the team needed since Reilly's alp sence was some one to drive the men. Baker seems to fit into the job in good shape and all week he seemed to inject the punch into the men.
 Coach Mccormack spent some time during the practice on new forma- tions and the fans will see some of the up to date forward passes that the Yosts started off with, when Reilly and See1ey were together. Seeley' s absence for two weeks and Reilly s loss. left no one to deliver this style o6 game, but with SeeIey back and Baker taking Reilly's place, these plays are sure to be successful. Lar kin will be held in reserve as he has demonstrated that he is cool .and if let alone can pick out some good plays.
 This. New London crowd have a lineup thts is very commendaible and as the forward pass seems to be the line of attack nowadays, the Yost will no doubt be pressed hard. This game will be preceded by 9 preliminary, starting at 80 p. m. Joe Waters will referee the big contest. The line up: et

 New York, Oct 81.-WhiIe the thorough trouncfng Sam Langford ad- ministered to Gulboat Smith was a shock to the sports who Imagined Manager Jim Buckley had an acc in the Gunner, it should after all prove a good thing for the sport. In the first place 1t robs Smith of his excuse for not meeting Willard on the ground that he had already beaten Jess and that the latterss reputation did not warrant the match. The Gunboat's own reputation was made to look rather cheesy by Langford's we'll directed punches.
 And in the second place the rest of the -shopes'' will now likely be able get their chances at Smith without having to pay so dearly for the priv i1ega. In other words the fellows who have been '-al1owed'' to box Smith the past year have had their work for practically nothing. Buck ley hogged the receipts on the all leged rep of his man as he leading white Heavyweight in the game.
 And in the third place it ought to stop that noise about matching Will lard with Jack Johnson for the title. Willard may be able to lick the cham E there. What the public wants to know first is can he beat Gunboat Smith. If he can't they do not want to waste another thought on him. And should he succeed i'm defeating Smith impressively the next step would be to pit him against Sam Langford. The result of that battle would deterzsaine e 111fs standing in the public est1nla- ton as championship Saspirant
 Jess may be a great fighter. and the coming champion. Let us admit it for sake of argument. And the worst luck wish him is success in his en< deavor. But there Is nothing in his record to warrant talking fight with Johnson at this stage. If Willard wants public support his duty is to fight his way to the top. Gunboat Smith is the man he should first meet and if his showing with Iangford's s latest victim warrants . match with the redou btable Sambo. 1t should fol- low in the natfBral order of events.
 Tom Jones' Jack Curley and the others, whoever they are, now boost ing a Johnson-Wflard match have the, chance of their lives to make the big fellow the most popular man in the ring. That is if Jess has the goods in him. Victories over Smith and lsangford would naaSe him gIne greatest drawing card and earn for him the hearti fest public support ever accorded challenger for the heavy weight title.
 The only logical course for Willard is that I have pointed out If his packers do not take advantage Of the opportunities offered to make their tn ering has ever known 1t will be a tacit admission they privately lack the confidence in the big fellow that they publicly profess.

The tendency to roast Gunboat Smith because Langford beat him should be curbed. The Guniboat did the best he knew, and it is no ever lasting disgrace 0 be licked by fight CT as great as Langford. Jack John son, touted by many so-called ex- perts as the greatest fighter in prize ring history, has been lodging Sam. for many years. While the suspi- c1on exists that the first Langford Smith meeting. in which the Gunner was awarded the decision. was a other than the remarkable reversal of form on Langford's part in the second bout. If there was any shady work it might have been all on Lang lords end. He has been accused many times Of saving opponents for future use in the ring, and he may have done that with Smith The, later on the strength of the show ing he made in the first attempt may have been entirely honest in the be- lief he was the better man.
 The Gunboaf is still a. pretty fair sort of fighter-as he white heavies of to-day are figured. I doubt if any of the crop of white boys can lick, him barring Jess Willard and possibly Al Reich. The latter might turn the trick, and might re- peat with Willard also. He looks

 But to get back to the subject of Smith. He should be encouraged and not banned because he was beat en by Langford.

Dan says the latter is made to order for the big smoke and that any talk about Langford beating Johnson does not emanate from any one who has seen both men in action and knows what they are capable of accomplishing. Ac- cording to the same authority, it will take a man every bit as big and a clever boxer to defeat Johnson. and in the latter opinion I fully concur. A s1ugger would be a sucker for a, big, strong defensive fighter of the John son type. Jack would probably best any man who would carry the battle to him. It will take, as McKettriclx ar
