the training camp at Cambridge that
the Johnnie Boys expect the Yale
Ellis to give them a rafting good
game.
Princeton hasn't quite recovered
from her ignominy. She was not only
beaten, but battered and outplayed at
every turn. She is trying to console
the game against Yale next Saturday.
o.
| Yale seems to be content with her
showing, and she is very coclSy over
her prospects with Princeton next
Saturday and Harvard a week hence.
Yale is the Bulldog of confidence
surely, though she may be beaten a
hundred times.
g
Rutgers came out of her game with
Syracuse not much the worse for
wear. though she went into the battle
sadly missing Johnny Wittpenn. the
Newark boy. Wittpenn has a
wrenched knee, and he may be out of
| the game for ten days or more. ae-
eording to Coach Sanford. The show
ing of Rutgers against Syracuse was
commendable, and really proves that
the New Brunswick college has a
most formidable aggregation. Earlier
in the season Tufts was supposed to
be stronger in every way than Rut-
gers. yet Rutgers beat Tufts and tied
Syracuse Saturday. while Tufts was
swamped by Dartmouth by the score
of So to 0.
The minor leagues are meeting to-
day at Omaha, and 1t is observed
that the major leagues are out there
very strong. The big fellows evil
IDENTIFY smell g. rat and fear that
something may happen. If the minors
are wise they will get theirs" right
now. This is their only chance. If
peace comes the minors will be for
ever after barking up an empty tree.
They have been lemons" for the
majors all along, but now they have
the upperhand If they only know
enough to take advantage of the
conditions. The Feds are still fight
ing, but they are looking for peace.
The majors are also of the same
mind. Between the two, the minors
ought to get a big showdown. If
they don't II will be their own fault.
c.
That peace is wanted badly on
both sides is no doubt very true, but
at the present time all the peace talk
is coming from the organized base
ball end Of the game. The Feds,
whatever their intentions or what
ever their plans, are setting tight.
The regulars" are talking some,
with Garry Hermann, chairman of
the National Commission. as the
spokesman. Hermann says that
| peace is in the air, but that it
| would take more than a day to
bring it out. At the meeting of the
minor leagues, now in session, some
sort of announcement Is likely to be
mace, but If the little fellows do not
Insist on more liberal conditions be-
fore the regulars and the "out-
laws come together they may never
get another such golden opportunity.
| O.
If peace comes about at this time,
the majors, no doubt, will get all the
plums. We take this for granted, be-
cause the class AA leagues represen-
tatives have not had thing to say.
President Barrow, of the International
League, seems to think that anything
Ban johnson, president of the Amer
lean League, does is right, so the In
ternational will probably get "shucks"
when the day of settlement arrives.
The majors have suffered little since
the war, compared to what has hap
pened to the class AA leagues. The
international is all but busted up and
the American Association is about as
badly off The majors have lost some
money through the increase in play
chance to get 1t back. The minors,
though, will have to go along for
years before they will be able toSsee
the light of day. 1t will be interest
ing to see what President Barrow
gets out of his friend, President john
son, when peace is restored
