to the Polo Grounds 1t is to be hoped
that Rutgers will give us q game OF

the impression is sure TO be lasting.

against Yale. but not in disgrace, In
fact, after giving the Ellis credit for
the victory, the lions share of the
praises seem to fall on the shoulders
of the Tigers. Their gallant finish in
the final period will not be forgotten
in a hurry, and the fight the men
put up when apparently hopelessly
out Of it is taken as an evidence of
rare gameness. Tributes are being
paid right and left to the Princeton
team, and the graduates have been
stirred to activity. They feel thai
something is wrong with the coach
ing system, and they are clamoring
for a brand-new regime at Tiger.

C
Yale, on her early play against
Princeton, looked to be even stronger
than Harvard, but when Princeton,
with her worthy substitute. made a
stand in the final period, Yale didn't
look so we'll. If 1t hadn't been for the
Tigers desperate struggle the Ellis
would go into the game against Har-
ward as the favorite. AS matters stand,
though, the Crimson team is sure to
be an s to choice.
C
Strange how things change. In the
past, it has been the tenacity Of the
Bulldog we have raved about, but
now it is the gameness of the Tiger
that attracts us. In other days,
Yale, never beaten until the end,
would come from behind and plough
her way to victory or near-victory,
but on Saturday it was the Tigers that
came from the rear and. Yale like,
almost won their spurs in the last
few moments of play.

Ira Thomas Is being touted as the
aext manager of the New York
Yankees. He is said to be a close
friend of Ban Johnson, and that
johnson, who is on his way TO New
York to buy Bill Devery's stock In
the Yanks, it is said, will place him
at the head of the New York club.
This may all be So but Frank Far
rell is sure to have something to say
about the matter As to Devery's
stock being for sale, it is quite evil
dent, judging from the Chiefs own
words, that he would not be adverse
to sell his holdings. The man with
the doughbag can buy anything, and
Devery admitted he had his price.
G
President Fultz, of the Players
Fraternity, is getting worried lest
restoration of peace should eliminate
his organization from any say in
baseball matters. He has good reason
to be worried, for the magnates will
surely want to run their own BUSH
ness after their heavy losses and
after their trouble with the Feds are
over With peace at hand, the play
ers cannot hope to do much debating.
They will have to submit to the rul-
ings of their employers. There may
be slight rumpus, but how many
star players at big salaries will leave
their Jobs if a strike is declared?
The fact is, the players have had a
sort of Jubilee, and 1t is now the
magnates' turn.

X. Phillips, the manager OF the New
ark Turner's basketball team, wishes
to correct a statement made in an
other local paper that the Saturday
night basketball games were TO be
discontinued and Sunday night games
inaugurated. Manager Phillips says
this is not so, and intimates that the
information was furnished in order
to hurt the attendance at the New
ark Turner's games. The Turner's
play clean, open basketball, and their
