TURKEYS AWARDED
DUCKP|N BOWLERS
Five Birds Devoured on Thanks
giving Day by Families of
Commercial Alley Primers.

Following one Of the most Interesting
duckpin tournaments from a standpoint
of competitor, three fifteen-yound tur-
keys are today being made into soup,
the bulk of the meat having been eaten
at the respective homes of Messrs Zier,
Lucas. Kiernan. Cosimano, and Sense
ney on Thanksgiving Day.
The birds were the prizes hung up by
Manager Jerman. of the Commercial
alleys. in his turkey tournament. and
the bowlers mentioned above finished
high in a roll-off which included the
twenty best howlers in qualifying
process which started ten days ago.
One of the vagaries of the turkey
tournament lies in the fact that Zier,
best mark 342, for the three games
which he contributed in the roll-off.
Zier is Of the class known as tran
sient bowlers,'' and does not belong TO
any league, nor does he follow any par
ticular schedule in his bowling activi-
ties. While he made a good showing
all the way through the series, his high
mark as the last man to appear for The
roll-off came as a surprise.
Here are the figures relative to the
roll-off. as prepared by Scorer Thomas

Branch Hickey Doesn't
Want Mack'S Veterans

ST. LOUIS. Nov. 27.-That Chief Ben
der and Eddie Plank, for years the
pitching mainstays of the Athletics and
on whom Connie Mack has asked waiv
ers, are not desired as members of the
Browns, is the latest Information from
Branch Hickey, who has been hibernat,
ing since the American League meeting,
in that dear LuCasvilIe, ohio.
Hickey is frank in stating that he
does not care to add Bender or Plank
to the Browns pitching staff, because
he believes the veteran PhiladelphianS
will do the Browns no good. The
Browns young manager fears thai the
long association of BENDER and Plank
with a worlds ) championship aEgreS:t-
ton would not enable them to ut IN

is undergoing the process of reconstruct

sort. ch o.
Hickey also ventures the information
that he Is not satisfied with the Browns
AS fhey line w today. or as they did at
the close of tn" 1911 season, and says
that he expects to max" some changes.
This is welcome news, ana probably

One peculiar record he has is that he
never lost a game during the four sea

Reulbach in 1909, the season Iitt'-

games. His best work was in 1906
when he took part in forty-siX games,
winning thirty-seven Of them and los
ing eleven. never having been taken
out of the game AT any time during
the entire season.
During the season Of 1909 Chicago
offered to trade Reulbach to Brooklyn
for Harry Mcintyre for no other reason
than that the Brooklyn pitcher was a
terror against Pittsburgh. and Murphy
figured that with Mcintyre on his team
he could beat out the Pirates Presi-
dent Ebbets thought something must b"
the matter with the pitchers arm, and
refused TO make the trade. but later
put through a deal in which Reulba ch

Soccer Teams Battle
To Tie at ROSedale

The ex-Caledonians and the Washing

clashed yesterday afternoon at Rosedale
grounds in what proved to be one of
the most spectacular games of the sea
son. The Ex-Caledonians started of
with a rush. and carried the ball al
most without stop for a goal Ths
Washington Regulars, thinking that
they were up against an easy PROPOSE
ton, did not get down to the proper
play until this time, and then they
started and played the game in rush,
and by combination put forth by Hedge.
Greaves, and Brown, they were able
to make three goals in the first half.
1t was the second half that really
made the game. Like the opening of
the first half, the Ex-Caledonians, re-
ceiving their second wind, started TO
play a fast game, and repeatedly the
bali was carried to the goal line Of the
Washington Regulars. and with good
passing of the ball by Dias, Maunder,
Featherstone, and Petrie. they We're
able to score two more goals. thus tying

When the football rules committee
gets together this winter it probably
will have less work to do than has been
demanded for several seasons.
In general. the gridiron. game has
been very satisfactory this fall and
there is no demand for any alterations
be simplfed, but aside from this things
are we'll enough as they are.
1t has been demonstrated this sea-
Son that the rules permit Of plenty Of
scoring and that seems to be what
everyone is asking. There were more
big-score games and fewer scoreless
ties this season than ever before. Not
an important college team in the coun-
try, so far as records are available, es-
capped being scored upon, though 1t Is
possible that some of the minor insti-
tutions have clean states. Three East
ern colleges, Harvard. West Point and
Union, were not beaten, though the
Army still has its biggest battle to
fight and may meet defeat tomorrow.
Harvard was twice tied by teams which
caught her with large number Of sub
stitutes in the lineup. Union played
done up to date.
The game of football as it now stands
is all right and If the rules remain as
they are long enough for coaches and
players to develop all Of its possibilities
will keep getting better. Much progress
has been made in the last two seasons.
but there still is room for Improvement
and greater things may be expected in
the future.
Some critics maintain that the attack
has all the better of the going at present
and that il would be advisable TO alter
the rules to help the defense. This hard
ly seems a just criticism There was a
time when the defense had things much
its own way and the natural result was
that the coaches devoted themselves very
largcl:, to the attack, results in carry
ing and passing the ball, there will be
more attention paid to the defensive
game and an Improvement in the de-
pdrtment is sure to be noticed next year
At least it will take another season or
two to prove that there is need OF Civ
ing the team which has not the ball any
aid.
Yale this season devoted her energies
to building up an attack, and succeeded
fairly well. The Blue had two chances
tu score against Harvard, and probably
" Would have done so except for fum-
BILE on one occasion and q bad pass by
the center on the other. HAr team had
a good supply Of groundgaining plays,
but its defense was inadequate. both
against the passing and running games.
Next year it * to be expected that the
Eli coaches will get right to work re-
pairing the weak spots in their defense,
and better results are to be expected.
Michigan proved that it is possible to
build I'D a good reliable protection
against the forward pass. Opposing
teams did very little against the Maize
and Blue by this play. Harvard sue

President BrittOn to
Fight to Keep Magee

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 27.-While the st.
Louis and Chicago Federal League
clubs were willing to sign Lee Magee,
the Cardinals star handy man, it is
said that the player decided to cast his
lot with the Brooklyn Feds because of
the prospects of becoming manager Of
the club, succeeding Bill Bradley, who
led the Tiptops last season.
Magec has been dickering with the
three clubs for several weeks. Otto
Stifel. Of st. Louis. and Charley Weegh-
man, of Chicago. agreed to pay him
more than the $500 he received from
the Cardinals this season, but when the
Wards OF Brooklyn held out bit in the
form of the management of the Tip
tops, MaSee, who has always been eager
10 be club manager. jumped at the
brooklyn offer.
His ten-days' notice to President Brit
ton Of the Cardinals expired last Thurs
day. According to Federal League root
ers here. it is said that Magee imme-
diately signed a brooklyn contract
after the expiration of the time limit.
Tn" official announcement of his sign
Ing, however, is not expected TO be made
until the Federal League meeting in
Chicago tomorrow.
MaE"c was considered as manager for
tho RrUokfeds after Roger Bresnahan
refused to negotiate with the outlaws
for the job. The Wards wanted the
Duke 10 run their club. but Bresnahan
preferred to take charge Of the Cubs.
Then the offer was made to Magee.
That Magec cannot hope to affiliate
himself with the Federal League with
ont struggle by President Britton, of
the Cardinals and organized baseball is
the opinion of a friend of Britton, who
read Of MagceS hurdle.
"Magce hasn't q chance in the world
TO play more than game or two, if
that many, with the Brooklyn club" said
Th" Times informant. He has the ten
day clause in his contract. that is true,
hut he is signed with the Cardinals for

the time stipulated in his contract. he
might have "A chance to win his argu-
ment. But he's sure to be yanked out
