NO CHANGES IN PHILLIES.
Manager Moran to Stand Pat TO,
1915 With His Team.

NEW YORK. December 11.-James
E. Gaffney, owner of the Boston Braves,
and William F. Baker of the champion
Phi1lies paid visit to President Tener
at the National League headquarters
yesterday afternoon. Owner Gaffney,
when questioned about the report that
Johnny Evers was to be traded to the
Cincinnati club for Manager Herzog,
laughed, and declared that there was
no foundation for such yarn.
There will be no changes in the line
up of the Phillies next season. Presi-
dent Baker said Manager Moran is sat
isfied with his team that won the PEN
nant and will not make any changes in
his infield or outfield unless somebody
hands him a Ty Cobb or j. Franklin
Baker. According to Baker, the Phil
lies have picked up two good pitchers
from the Coast League.

Baker was interrupted in his hunting
yesterday afternoon long enough to
drop the following remarks via tele-
phone from Trappe, Md:
Il don't know where anybody got an
idea that 1 was going to play with
Chicago, because l have not even heard
a word in connection with trade of
that sort. Somebody had a pipe dream.
have not met any representative from
Comiskey, did not know that he had
one. and am not expecting to do busi-
ness with that team.
II have not heard ANYTHING about
Chicago from Connie Mack, and there
is nothing to the yarn. I met Capt.
Houston and Bill Donovan Of the Yam
KEGS at Wilmington two weeks ago. and
they talked business with me. How
ever, l guess 1 wanted too much, be-
cause they went back to New York
without coming to any agreement.
"A few days after that a Federal
Lacquer came down to Trappe and Of
fered me great proposition, but I
finally decided to wait a while before
signing with any one They assured me
that my contract with the Athletics for
1916 was not binding. but 1 have de-
cided to do nothing in regard to their
offer.
Shortly afterward I received a long
distance phone call telling me Bill
Donovan was on his way to see me.
For once l had a meeting with base
ball man without the fact becoming
public. Donovan offered me an excel
lent proposition, which I am seriously
thinking about.
my position. however. is just as it
was year ago. I am willing and
want to get back into the game. but
am not coming back unless my terms
are met l don't need to play ball for
a living any more, but 1 love the game
and am willing to come back. The
inducements must be good. though, or
1 will do just as l did last summer
stay home four days a week and play
Independent ball on Wednesdays and
Saturdays.
Il see that out of town papers have
been saying that I am all in and cred
tied me with a batting average more
than 100 points lower than I hit in the
Delaware County League. Well. just
wait and see Bake hit that ball if I
come back. 1 am always in great
shape, and will be just as good as
ever"

should be the personification of the coach,
that is, if the coach has correct ideas
of sound foot ball and is not merely
a hack developer of plays, as good
many are. A field general who knows
exactly what to do every moment his
team has the ball. so as to give oppo-
nents the minimum chance of getting
the ball on errors of the offensive side.
and who can get the utmost out of the
attack his coach has developed and
his team can execute. is so rare as
to be priceless. Watson is the man
who can do. and does, just that.
Keene Fitzpatrick. who has been
closely identified with foot ball east
and west for twenty-five fears, con-
siders Watson the best quarterback he
ever saw. His generalship in every
game this season has been perfect. [
thought PritchaId and Logan last year
were great field generals. but Watson
is superior to either. In addition to
his splendid qualities as a field general.
he is adept at passing the ball to his
backs and positivelyNartistic at the
sleight-of- hand which bulks so large
in the Harvard attack. He can for
ward pass with certainty and can run
with the ball, though Haughton does
not allow his quarterbacks to risk get
ting hurt by doing much running. He
intercepts passes well and tackles
surely.
the all-eastern team picked by Mr..
Herring. They are Hogg at right guard.
Lam berton at right end and Click at
left halfback. Hogg is characterized
as the best guard in the east by rea-
son of his all-round capabilities; good
reasons are given for Lambertons
selection at end over Higgins of Penn
State and Soucy of Harvard, and Click
is placed at halfback, though he played
quarter, because of his splendid line
plunging powers. One of the other
main reasons for Clicks selection was
that he is a remarkable man for back
ing up the line on the defense, his play
| in that particular having been superior
to any other. Shelton of Cornell, Nash
of Rutgers, Spears of Dartmouth, Peck
of Pittsburgh, Gilman of Harvard. Ma
han of Harvard and Barrett of Cornell
are the other selections for the all-star
eleven.
Three basket ball games were played
yesterday in which scholastic quints

GILMAN ELECTED CAPTAIN.
Right Tackle to Lead Crimsons on

Harvard's long-delayed election of
foot ball captain for 1916 was held by

was at left tackle two years ago GILL;

captafncy. but Gilman won by a large
plurality and later the choice was made
unanimous.

little chaps get on the bags. GIL
hQoley is said to be very clever bunt-
er, and with Maisel on the bags he un-
doubtedly will do a lot of bunting and
probably send Maisel from first to third
on many occasions.
Jim Coffey has a jaw which consti-
tutes the greatest mystery of the prize
ring.
No man other than Frank Moran ever
scored knockout or a technical
knockout over Coffey. yet Coffey has
rarely gone through a battle without
being In seemingly pitiful condition
at one time or another; without seem
ing to be on the point of defeat via
the knockout route.
Those who have followed Coffey
through his career have discovered
these strange facts.
A solid punvch on coffey's jaw early
in the fight Invariably makes him
groggy; nearly always sends him to
the ropes for support; makes him an
object of pity.
A dozen punches of the same kind
and in the same place later in the flfht
never even disturb him.
George Mcbride led the American
League shortstops in fielding his posi-
tion during the season of 1915. proving
what has always been said of him. that
he is one of the greatest defensive
players in either league in that posi-
ton. His greatest ability is covering
the bag on attempted steals. He has
wonderful agility In getting poorly
thrown balls Neither is there short
stop who is out of the game as seldom
as Mcbride Last season, for instance,
was the first time in eight years that
he was injured severely enough to keep
him out of the game. That happened
from finishing a stretch of games un-
interrupted for several years.

1t is to be hoped for the best inter-
ests of base ball and the American

chasers of the Cleveland club will be

ball, which prospers only when there
is real reason for civic pride.
II statements made by Frank Baker
are to believed, the Chicago White Sox
have not communicated with him at
all with reference to his signing with
the Comiskey team. Baker seems to
express a preference for the Yankees,
and il Is limited that in due time he
will accept Manager Donovan's propo-
sition and become a member of the
New York team.
Neither is it likely that Comiskey will
be able to get Chapman of the Cleve-
land club. for there is no more val.
liable player on that team, and to sell
him to Comiskey would make the sale
