PRINCETON GAME NOT CONCLUSIVE
Will Probably Reserve Men and Plays for Crimson Bat tIe-AI- America Tackles Will Oppose Each Other.

Don't judge too much the compara- tive abilities of Yale and Harvard by their showfngs against Princeton Never has thetre been a three-team contest when the desire to win in every game has been equal in each team, and certainly such Is not the case with the Harvard Yale-Prfn combination.
 Only one of Princeton's games with Harvard and Yale is considered the Tigers objective. Only one of Yale's two games can be considered it's ob- jective, and only one of Harvard's s games can be considered the goal for which it most keenly strives.
 After Harvard
 YaQe's objective game is it's contest with Harvard, and the Blue team. if 1t were assured of a win over the Grim son, would give up victory to Prince ton. Princeton's one objective game is that with Yale and the loss of Satur- days game would quickly be forgotten should the Tigers win this week. liar yard's' one objective is Yale also, and had Coach Haughton's men lost to Princeton last Saturday the Harvard student body would rest almost as con- tentedly should the Crimson win from the Blue.
 As the result of this known and rec ognized feeling in the three institutions Yale gets it both ways, facing Prince ton in what is Princeton'S objective game one week, and the next facing Harvard in what is Harvard's objec- tive contest. It gets 1t again in both ways as each of it's last two games Is the final one for it's opponents. and both of the latter will take chances that Yale cannot afford to do.
 Saturday at the Palmer stadium at Princeton will find the Tiger band play Ing far, better and more daring football than the team exhibited at Cambridge, while it's opponent, thinking chiefly of it's contest for the succeeding week will be doing it's best to conserve its men and it's plays. Consequently if Yale wins by but a small score. or even loses by a few points, such results in themselves will not indicate that Yale is a poorer team.
 Where Desire Lays
 The foregoing is not intended to in- dicate that Yale does not desire to win the Princeton game, or that it will sacrifice the game that it may retain an advantage. It means simply that Yale has keener desire to win from Harvard than it has for win over Princeton, and that this desire can not help being manifested to a de- gree in the play of this week.
 The Princeton Yale game will find the New Haven institution with its best team on the field. Aleck Wilson Ainsworrh, Howe, Legore and several of the star wearers of the Blue, who have been given a very easy time of ii this season will be in the lineup.

RERuH DING OF BASEBALL
 coNFRoNTs MoGuLS.
New National Agreement Must Be Drawn up-other important Rules.

Baseball must be rebuilt from cell lar to dome during the coming winter. The game is like Louvain. shot to pieces. It must be patched up. Bet ter to clear the debris away and re- build from the ground up.
 Baseball must have a new reserve rule, new release clause, new draft ing rules, new purchasing rules, rules that can be enforced against cover ing up" young players, rules that will permit young players to advance more rapidly in the profession, rules that his time in the higher leagues right to his unconditional release after hav- ing played a certain number of years in the league.
 Baseball must have a reserve rule. Without it baseball cannot live. A all rules to enforce. A gentIeman's S agreement would make splendid re- serve rule if club owners would he gentlemen and not tamper with the players or their fellows.
 Baseball must have release clause. Probably the best release clause would be one which obliged a club owner who released player after the regular season began to pay said player one months salary. Leagues below class A might pay two weeks salary in heu of ten days notice of release.
 
 right to claim unconditional releases after having served certain periods in the minor leagues, say three years Sn classes D, c and B; five years in classes A and A, and ten years in the major leagues. Any player who has served three years in classes C and B should not be sent to a lower league without his consent, while the player who has served five years in classes A and A should be entitled to claim unconditional release in case he did not wish to go, at the behest of his club, to smaller league.
 Players should be represented on the national commission, whi n should consist of five members, a rep resentative of the players, represent atice of the public. preferably news paper man, representatives of the. two big leagues and a president, elected by these representatives.
 A new national agreement must be drawn up. The national agreement should be adopted by the major and class A leagues.
 These are merely suggestions, nuclei for plan. Fault may very we'll be found with many of them. But they may serve to start something.

WILL PLACE BAN ON JUMPERS.
Organized Baseball Is Determined to Punish Players Who Violated Their Contracts.


 There is little Likelihood of contract jumpers receiving any consideration from organized baseball if the war continues. Not much worrying is be- ing done by scores of the Federal players for the reason that they are near the end of their careers, but the younger element will be concerned in the statement that the big Ieaeuers who run most of the country's base ball are in a mood to bar them per- manently. No doubt it will make many a promising youngster in the minors hesitate as well as put check on the Federal league enthusiasm of some of the budding talent sewed up by organ ized baseball who are contemplating Dig league mogulS. Said a prominent big league magnate:
 The food of organized baseball at the present time is such that I can hold out no hope for jumpers getting tinues. When the Tri-State league de- ned the big leagues a penalty of, three years suspension was inflicted on the players who case their lot with that organization. Five years was the pun ishment for offenders who went over to the Pacific coast league. The Fed erals are likely never to be taken back. In all wars there has been en- mity, but no such bitterness charac- terized any struggle as is manifest in the present strife. Organized base ball is determined to make an exam pie of the men who have violated their agreements. and the punishment they will receive should have a deterrent effect on players in the event of fu- tur wars. Of course, if the Federals and organized baseball get together some understanding will be reached with regard to contract Jumpers, but if not the deserters probably never will return to the big tent. That is not my exclusive feeling in the mat ter; the magnates are practically a tInit

CHAMPION WELSH HELD TO A DRAW
Charlie White Made Whiriwind Finish in Fierce 10 Round Battle.

Freddie Welsh of Wales. lightweight champion of the world. was held to a, draw by Charlie White in a fiercely fought ten round contest at Milwaukee Monday night. Under the claw ref eree's decision could not be given, but it was the opinion of the newspaper experts that White evened up honors by his whirlwind finish against Welsh's cleverness.
 White opened a wound over the champions left eye and Welsh. partly blinded by blood. was forced to back cape Whites terrific rights and lefts to the head
 When they weighed at o'clock, the champion stripped at HI and White in fighting garb weighed 136. The first round was lively, but fnef- second and third rounds, landing a number of hard blows on Welsh and striving to put over his life hook, credited with being his knockout punch. White landed a good upper cut in the third and put right and left to the body. but missed with three left hooks.
 Welsh began to fight like g. cham pion in the fourth, backing White into corner and giving him good lacing. In the fifth Welsh took another big lead. whaling White all around the TlLS E1Llu Ldh1H9 1ILLI6 pt11l1Suu10IlL return. The Chicago boy showed bet ter fin the sixth, but Welsh jared White with lefts and took the round by a shade.
 White came back strong in the sev- enth and. after taking two hard ones, shook up Welsh with a right handler. White missed with two uppercuts and took two rights in the ribs, but was not discouraged, and hooked Welsh in the head. The round was about even.
 Welsh deserved the eighth by a. shade though both boys missed many times. Welsh landed three Iefts to the head as the round ended. White out fought Welsh in the ninth. They traded punches at the bell and after a, hard rally in the center of the ring the Chicago boy made the champion back away. White drove Welsh into a corner and laced him with stinging rights and lefts to the body. White landed two rights on Welshss jaw as the round ended.
 White rushed the light in eYe tenth, again driving Welsh into a corner, where he landed five times without a return. White opened up cut over Wefsh's eye and peppered him with rights and lefts to the head. Welsh swung wildly with blood triclSIing into his eye.
 He went into a cIinch and az they broke White put two lefts to Welsh's head and right to his jaw. The last two rounds were Whites ali the way. White left the ring without mark, while Welsh was bleeding profusely.

NO LONGER ADMIRED BY QUAKER FANS.
Famous Connie Mack Popularity Leaving 5eoause of His Release of the Big Three.


 Cornelius MacGillicuddy may go his own sweet way and dismember the Athletics. They are his, and we care not what he may do with them. He may even receive the iron cross from the managers of the other seven clubs, if he only breaks his champions Ip enough to give someone else in the American league a chance for the 1915 pennant. However, from the fans Gf Philadelphia Connie is very apt to re- ceive the oId-fashioned double cross.
 They have been wandering about now for several days, talking with fans of every walk of life in the about as popular as a leaf from Joe Millers joke book would be in a Broadway show. Somehow or other, MT Mack's constituents do not seem over enthusiastic about his getting u of Bender, Coombs and Plank. and talking veiledly of letting other local favorites go.
 The release of Eddie Plank and John Coombs is particularly resented by the fans Gettysburg Eddie had one of the best years last season. and in years agone has done more than any one man to keep Philadelphia on the baseball map. The men who sup port the game here, the fans, can't see why Eddie should go.
 Coon1bs' case, of course, is purely sentimental. John has not been able to be of service for some time. yet the PhiladeIphians feel that he should not be cast aside when just recovering from an illness. without a chance to show whether or not he can attain major league form again
 In Benders case there seems to be little feeling. People appear to be- Ifeve that the Chief didn't give his best to Mack or to the city in the closing days and in the worlds series. Ben der's passin~ will not cause much of d heartburn.

It is understood that the varsity tried several entirely new open formations that worked with great success. The scrubs could do nothing against the rush line, which showed marked improvement.
