TIGERS OPEN NEW STADIUM.
Varsity and Scrubs in Scrimmage
Ames Gets Quarterback Place.

PRINCETON, n. J., October ga
half hours scrimmage between the var
sity and scrubs was contested on the
new observation-disclosures dollar Pal
mer memorial stadium yesterday. The
Tiger players found the turf in re-
markably good condition. The footing
was firm and made the running game
of the back field unusually effective.
The varsity, however. found it impos-
sible to score against the combination
of scrubs and first-string substitutes
sent in against the regulars. The
scrubs fought hard, and although the
Tiger backs ran the ends down we'll
and improved in interference, they were
unable to get the ball over the line.
This was partly due, however, to the
fact that Law tried number of drop
kicks, in accordance with the instruc-
tidns of the coaches.
Ames, Eberstadt and Tibbott were
used at quarterback, but Ames was in
most of the time. 1t is now certain
that Ames will start the game tomor-
row. his work in scrimmage this week

DOOM FOR THE YANKEES.
Latest Base Ball Rumor Sprung in
PHILADELPHIA.

NEW YORK, October CA rumor
was circulated in Philadelphia last
night to the effect that Charley Doom,
who was deposed ss manager of the
Phillies for Pat Moran, had been offered
the job of managing the Yankees next
season. 1t was stated that Doom had
been approached on the subject, al
though President Baker has not yet
made it known whether he will release
the catcher to another National League
club or dispose of him in a trade. The
other National League clubs will have
the first claim on his services.
Nothing could be learned from the
local American League club last night
which would give any authenticity TO
the rumor. When Secretary Davis of
the Yankees was asked yesterday if
there was anything new in the clubs
affairs he freely admitted that there
was not.
Doom stated to his friends yesterday
that ne resigned last August, but Presi-
dent Baker would not accept his resig-
nation. He has been dissatisfied for
some time, he said. because of the
clubs financial policy. The officials
would not allow him money with which
to purchase new players and would not
consult him in the management of the
teams affairs as he thought manager
should be consulted.

bat and incidentally made it possible
for the Braves to make a clean sweep

ward passes all season, yesterday aft
when he should have gotten away for
long runs.
Click, Moore and Freddy Trenkmann
Were used at the halves, and Law and
briggs at fullback. Freddy Trenk-
mann's hard line breaking has won
him place on the varsity, and he also
is practically sure to start against
Dartmouth as frst-string back. Havi-
land. who has been playing on the
scrub team, was promoted to the var
sity and remained in the first-string
lineup through nearly all of the prac-
tice. Nourse has been deficient in his
handling of the ball, and this. combined
with the fact that he has been out of
condition, will keep him out of action
for another week. Gennert probably
will get the first call tomorrow, but
Haviland should get in before the game
is over.

BRESNAHAN WITH FEDS?
Report Has Roger Signing to Man
age the Wards BROOKLYN Team.

CHICAGO, Ill, October 23.-The Chi
cago Evening Post prints a story that
Roger Bresnahan of the Cubs signed a
contract yesterday to manage the
Brooklyn Federal League team. The
Post gives no definite authority for
it's statement, which is questioned in
other quarters.
The Daily News contents itself with
saying a deal probably would be con-
Guided between Bresnahan and the
Wards in the east, and that under it's
terms the new manager would receive
a bonus of $4,000 over his stipulated
salary for signing a contract.
Bresnahan left Chicago Wednesday
afternoon at 3 O'Clock for New York.
He was due for a conference with the
Wards last night, according to local
reports.
