wANTANEW COACH At penn
After Electing Harris Captain for 1918
Team Votes Against Retain
ing Brooke

Philadelphia, Dec. 4.-The members
OF the 1914 University of Pennsylva-
MIA football team met yesterday after
noon In the gymnasium at Franklin
field and elected Edward Day Harris
captain of next year s team, and also
declared by an overwhelming vote
against the retention of George III.
Brooke as head football coach for 1915.
The election of Harris was expected,
but the subsequent action came as a
complete surprise, indicating that all
was not smooth in the team s ranks
this year. No names were mentioned
to show how the various players voted,
but only two members of the team were
absent, and the vote stood nineteen
against Brooke and two for him.
Brooke has a contract which runs
another year, and since It. TruNton Hare
has declared that he will not stand as
football chairman again, new chair
man must'be elected 1t is thought that
either DIR. Robert G. Torrey, captain
of the 1905 team, or Robert Lambert ON
will be Mr.. Hare's successor.
The new chairman will be the man
to deal with the Brooke question. but
prominent alumni are willing to pay
Brooke his $4,000 salary for next year
provided he will abdicate.
Rumor says that Bill Hollenback,
at present coach for Penn State College,
is the man who is wanted to succeed
Brooke, but his appointment cannot be
made until the new chairman is chosen.

Notes OF THE DIAMOND

Jake Daubert has earned the right
to invest in the largest auto horn there
is. This popular captain of the Dod-
gers not only leads the National
League batters for the second consecu-
tive year, but also is one of the pillars
of the Baseball Players Fraternity,
where he hits even better than in the
merry pastime.

er who jumped the Cincinnati Reds for
the Kansas City Feierals, narrowly
avoided sojourn in Sioux City, Ia,
Jail. johnson, charged with wife deser-
ton, was released from the meshes of
the law only after he had effected a
reconciliation with his better half. Jail
is no place even for an Indian when
he is beset with domestic and Federal

ed the rattle of the tin can for the

Hans Wagner will be retained by
Pittsburgh in spite of the fact that he
hit only .254 this season. This is the
first time since he broke into the big

Dutchman failed to hit 800 or better.
With the exception of 1918 it was al

sions Wagner was batting champion of

TRENTON HERE Tomorrow
Eastern League Five Will Meet Harris
burg Team in Armory-Second
Big League Game Here

The Trenton Eastern League team
will play the Harrisburg five in the
City Grays' armory tomorrow evening,
it being the second big league team to
come here this. season, inaugurating a
new policy of Manager Taggart, who
has promised better attractions than
ever at the Armory.
Trenton has promised to send the
regular lineup for this game and the
locals are working hard to get victory
over the touted aggregation from New
Jersey. A victory over Trenton would
soften the Reading defeat of last Sat
urday. The game will start at SIS
o clock and the regular Harrisburg line
up will be in the game. Clint White
will referee.
Manager. Taggart has announced
that the following are among the teams
to be played this season:
Bueknell, Gettysburg, New York Uni
versity, Albright, Susquehanna Univer-
sity and probably state College and
Lebanon Valley. The team will take an
extended trip after the first of next
year, meeting all of the strongest
teams in the coal regions. Next Fri
day they play Pittston at that place
and on Saturday will play their first
Saturday out-of-town game, meeting
Wilkes Barre. On December 15 they
meet the Lancaster team and on De-
cember 81 play Parkesburg. All of
these games are played away from
home.

Wills and Edmund Kean

Irving used to tell with dramatic eff
feet a story about w. G. Wills, the
dramatist, who, among other services,
wrote for him the play "-Charles l."
When Wills was boy ten years old
he was taken to see Edmund Kean
play Macbeth. In the murder scene he
was so affected by the realistic power
of the actor that seized with a severe
attack of nausea, he hurried from the
box. Ten years later he was unching
at chop house in Fleet street when
man entered, sat down at a table near
him and ordered a meal He was a per-
feet stranger to Wills, who, after few
minutes propnquity, was again seized
with q fit of nausea, from which he had
not suffered since as boy he was at
the theatre on the occasion mentioned.
He was obliged to leave the room.
When some minutes later he paid his
bill the waiter said to him: "Did you

TENER after Speed RECORD
National League Executive Thinks He
Will Be Able to Conclude Bust
ness in One Day

New York, Dec. 4.-Roy Reeves,
private secretary of Governor Tener,
vouchsafed the information yesterday
that the National League executive
would try to break all National League
records for speed here next week. The
Governor believes it will be possible to
conclude all the business in one dav.
He plans to leave for Harrisburg and
pressing administration business cares
late Tuesday night.
If Governor Tener shows such speed
as this he will be entitled to the cham
pionship. Those National League mag
mates simply love little old New York.
Most of them contrive TO drag out the
star chamber sessions to the week end
and many of them hang around an
other week to do Christmas shopping.
According to the present schedule,
Governor Tener will not arrive in New
York until late Monday night. 1t will
take the speed of Ban Johnson to wade
through all his problems inside of
twenty -four hours. First of all the
board of directors must SETTLE the dis
pute over the 100000 between Herr
mann and Ebbets, a hangover from the
celebrated Tinker sale of year ago.

tails of Mr.. Hermann's negotiations
with Charles Weeghman, the Federal
magnate. Moreover, they may have to
consider the latest wishes of the Base

by David l.. Fultz. Governor Tener

FAVORS HOUSEWIVES UNION
Urges Women to Band Together
For Wholesale Purchases.

Madis0n.-ln an address before a
session Of the women's course in home
economics, conducted by the Uni
versity of Wisconsin, Miss Abbie Mar
latt of. the home economics depart
ment OF the university made a strong
plea for unionism among housewives
in America. The purpose of the union
advocated by Miss Marlatt is not only
to protect women from INSCRIPTIONS
dealers, but also to educate them TO d
full and just knowledge of the condi-
tons they must meet i'll their homes
in regard to labor, food and textile
problems. Speaking of labor problems
Miss Marlatt stated that the standard
of wages for labor should be eff
cheney. Increased efficiency should
mean increased wages. She dwelt up
on the maxim that no woman should
order household in such way as to
enslave any human being. Miss Mar
latt pointed out the fact that the de-
mand for servants by far exceeds the
supply, ard offered two possible solu-
tions of the problem. One was for
the housewife to do her own work,
and the other was to engage profess
sional help by the hour.

Have you ever noticed how many
women go to a ticket window IN the
subway or on the elevated, ask for
their ticket and even expect to have ii

look for the nickel to pay FOR it?
Have you ever waited in line while

opened her shopping bag. took out her
handkerchief, CROPPED for her pocket.
book and, when she found It, lingering
ly searched through its compartments
for five-cent piece?
A woman is unfortunate N having
no convenient pocket that she can dip
into for small change. Her money is
usually inside something that is inside
something else. But isn't this all the
more reason why she should have the
consideration and forethought to ger
out her change in advance In order not
