SHIFTS IN TIGERS LINE.
Nourse Goes From Center to Tackle
and Shows Up Fairly Well.

PRINCETON. n. j.. October 27.-The
Tiger squad got no rest yesterday. All
OF the players who were not in the en-
tire game Saturday were sent into a
vigorous forty -five-minute scrimmase
against the scrubs. a second-strng
backfeld was used. and rolled up two
touchdowns and a field goal
Several important shifts were an
nounced by the coaches. The most sig
nificant was that Nourse, a 19O-pound
lineman, would be tried at tackle in
stead of center. Nourse played in the
latter position in all the early games.
Gennert's work Saturday was so salts
factory, however, that the coaches have
decided to let him stay in. with Havi-
land as substitute. Nourse was used
at tackle for time. and showed up
fairly well. He will get a thorough
tryout for the position, for which there
are already five candidates, in addition
to Capt. Balm. King. scrub player,
has been moved up to the varsity, and
will enter the competition for center as
an understudy to Gennert and Havi-
land IKE" Swart, for the last two

McGRAW WILL NOT BREAK UP
THE GIANT MACHINE OF 1914
New York Manager Will Have to Be Con-
WINGED That He Has Better Material
Before He Will Make Changes.

NEW YORK. October 2S.-Those who
are looking for John McGraw to brea k
up the 1914 Giant machine and heave
it into the scrap heap arc due for d
disappointment. John may do a little
tinkering here and there, but when
the Giant machine of 1915 gets into
motion there won't be very many new
cogs in it's makeup.
ihere are Two reasons why the
GIANTS won't be reassembled entirely
One is that McGraw feels that his 1914
outfit is good enough to grab Il pen
nant II few weak cogs are removed
ana some new ones substituted The
o1her reason is that the most of. the
1874 regulars are hooked up by iron
clad three year contracts.
McGraw couldn't put his old stars on
me market and get value received for
them He couldn't offer them for sale
and find many ready BUYERS because
those who are in the market for play
sfs dont want to pay fancy price
1or the men, and also pay fancy sal
ares to the players for the 1915 and
Isl. i'Io seasons, as would be the case if
they bought some of the Giants.
The Giants pitching staff in 1915
won't look much different than it did
IN 1914 Mathewson, Tesreau, Mar
quard ana Demaree are attached to the
clno by contracts that still have two
years TO run. McGraw wouldn't let
Issreau or Matty go no matter what
orer was made. He will keep DEM
aree because Steamer Az looks like
a real pitcher. and he will keep Mar
guard unless some other club makes
MIN a most tempting offer for the
eccentric left-hander.
Contrary to the general belief, Nc
IraW isn't anxious to let Marquard go
He figures that 1914 was "Rube's" off
year. He recalls the fact that nearly
a dozen OF the games "Rube" lost were
not through any real fault OF "Rube's,'
but because the Giants time and time
again failed to hit behind him. A half
dozen of "Rube's" defeats were 1-to-O
or 2-to-1 affairs.

Why Heine Will Go.

But Zimmerman is doomed to new
surroundings. It's likely that John
NcGraw Will become his boss. The
reasons are many.
Heine has been at war with the man
ayers and the players of the Cubs.
He declined to regard O'Day as a su-
perior officer. His run-ins with the
players were so frequent that he and
Bresnahan fought and some Of the
others were on the point of rebellion
before the recent city series.
The officials have figured that while
Heine is one of the greatest natural
ball players in the game that he could
be traded without a great howl aris-
ing from the Chicago fans, and that
the club could be made the gamer by
the trade.
Despite the denials that have been
made, New York has sought the serv-
ices of the s1ugger, and d pitcher, said
TO be Marquard, and two infielders
form the other end Of the deal.
