MAIL VOTE ON MOTION FOR PREPARING ON SMITH
 AND KIVIAT CHARGES

New York. Oct. 27-Letters re- questing a mail vote whether the Harry J. Smith Abel R. Kiviat case should be reopened were sent by Chairman George P. Matthews to members of the Registration Commit tee of the Metropolitan. Association of the A. A. U. yesterday.
 There is little Likelihood that the athletes will get a rehearing, as Matthews is opposed to such move. and the sentiment of two others of the body are said to run in the same channel.
 If another trial is denied. the ap- peal of the American A. c. for a rehearing made to Frederick w Ru- bien, chairman Of the board of man. agers, may be allowed.
 The amateur status of Emil Muller, the discus thrower of the New York A. C., is also questioned. and the in vestigation into the charges will take place at the monthly meting of the registration committee next Thursday.

ROYAL HOOTERS SHOWED
 GOOD SPIRIT IN SERIES

The demonstration of kindly feeling before and after the second world s series game at Philadelphia toward this country's President was alone worth twice worlds series tariff But out from it all in bold relief stood the striking proof of the craftsmanship of the Royal Rooters from Boston, says a writer in the New York Sun. They cheered as heartily Afor. the fine plays of the home team as they did for their own idols and failed to make light of the misplays of the Phillies. There was no insfnuation of gloating in their who1e-hearted celebration of victory no gibes for the defeated, no zpredic- tions of slaughter in the days to come
 The behavior of the Royal Hooters reflected the greatest credit on the city of culture. They marched no more jauntily 1after victory than they had marched after defeat. With all the other thousands of the lower tsands these Royal Rooters crowded onto. the field and hastened pell-mel1 toward the presidential box in the hope of f1eeting glance of President Wilson. They joined Justify in the cheering for him. But when their ranks marshalled for the final home ward march their whole demeanor be- spoke nothing but good fellowship and good sportsmanship.

COLLEGES PROTEST GEORGE YBRICKLEY, CHARLEY'S BROTHER

New York, Oct. 27-Ih reply to a query sent to the Faculty Athletic Committee of Trinity College rela- tive to the stand it will take in the 'BrickIey4 case so far as New Y ork University is concerned, the following message was received last night:
 s Trinity will play George Brickley at fulIback in all it's scheduled games for the remainder Of the season. in cluding the game with New York University next Tuesday. The game with New York University will / be played with Br1ek1ey in the lineup; otherwise it will not be played at all.''i
 Following the action of the Will Hams faculty in severing athletic re- 1ations with Trinity College for using George Brickley. brother of Charley, in last Saturdays football game at Williamstown, New York University's Faculty Committee on Athletics yes- terday sent a letter to the Trinity Ath- Ietic Council protesting against the use of Brickfey in the game that is to be played between the colleges at Ohio Field here next Tuesday. Brick ley last season played baseball with the Lawrence ufeam of the New Eng land League and also played several games with the Athletics.

HOPING YALE WILL ALLOW
 LEG0RE TO PLAY

Cambridge, Oct. 27-Harvard men, athletes in particular. trust that some way out of permanent disqualified tions of Le Gore and the other Yale athletes who unknowingIy violated the eligibility rules at Yale4 may be found Eddie Mahan, football cap tain. hopes that I1e Gore will be rein stated shortly so that he can. wear the Yale coIors in the stadium next month.
 p Captains Nash of the nine, Bingham Of the track team, Morgan of the crew and R. Norris Williams, 2d, the intercollegiate tennis Champion, feel as Mahan does about the disqualified ton.
 s Harvard did not favor punishing g the offending athletes for the tech ical infraction of the Yale rules; nor for that matter did Princeton, but the Tiger committees approval was sort of backhanded. Rules are rules, and what good are they unless you intend to live up to them. Go ahead and play these men and Princeton will not object,'s was the gist of Princeton's Approval.
 It was after a conference between
 Nessrs. Corwin, Briggs and Mo Clenehan, representing Yale, Harvard and Princeton, that Yale disqualified tn men. Harvard still favers rein statement, and. the belief is that Princeton will back it just as heartily now that Captain Midd1ebrook and Coach ToInmers confess that they are the most to blame.

TAYLOR REPl ACES
 CONAN AT GUARD ON HARVARD TEAM

Cambridge, Mass. Oct. 27.-The liar ward football men got down to hard york again yesterday afternoon. It was thought inadVisab1e to send many of the players who went through the regulars, with the exception of Gill clothes and had a long drill in signals and new plays. EsA
 For several weeks the coaches have been planning to use Mosely Taylor. at guard but could not do so until they were sure that the services of Wal lace, last years centre rush, would be available. Wallace's work in the Cor nell game made him a fixture in his old place, and yesterday CoWan was withdrawn from right guard on the Varsity team, and Taylor was shifted from center to guard. In the lineup, however, Dadmun was moved from the left to the right wing, Taylor be- ing danked by Parson and Soucy and Dadmun by Gamer and Harte. Will COX has the cali over Watson for quar- ter back, but there is yet considerable doubt as to who will be the first string man. Watson is a better field gen. eral.
 Tn theN bacIf1eId Esnwrfght took his old place with Mahan and King as half backs. Enwright will bolster up Harvardis backfeId, strength both on attack and defense at least 35 per cent, and things should move fast provided he is able to keep in trim for the remainder of the season. Mo KinIock is not improving rapidly, and is still unable to get up much speed.

CLAIM BAKER AND
 CONNIE MACK MAY REACH AGREEMENT

Frank Baker~WiH get back into the game again next season and 1t will pc no great surprise to see him once more playing third for the Athletics. Con nie Mack has failed to find a man to fill Franks place and now realizes that he might as well swallow what ever it was that has been sticking 1n his throat and try to build up a ball team that is capable of making a show of replacing the one he knocked to pieces.
 Having had a losing season, the worst ever experienced since coming to Philadelphia, Mack has finally been made to realize that he must have good players if he wants a good team Collins, Barry, Murphy, Plank. Coombs, Shawkey ana Bender are gone, but. Baker is still within reach Connie had an interview with Frank the other day and the two are said to have reached an understanding.
 Several clubs are ready to buy BaJ- ker'sf release, if Mack is still in the game to make monov that way, but after the experience of the season just closed he is more likely to trade than to sell in case he still fears to play Frank on his team. One more season in the Delaware County league would free Baker from his Athletic club con tract, so any deal that Mack has in mind regarding the home-run hitter must be put into effect soon.

WACNER'S OWN COLUMN

Harry Legore sent out denial last night of, the report that he would play with the Humphrey eleven. of New Haven against the Remington Arms team here next Sunday. Legore says he does not intend to enter pro fessional football or baseball. Per haps he sees a chance of Yale rein stating him now that Harvard has come out so strongly in his favor. The Humphrey management expected to have Iegore, anyway. If they don't gather some college stars they won't stand much chance against the Rem ingtons.
 The Remington Arms boys have also decided to go in for bowling this season. Twenty-four teams of five men each will comprise the organiza- tion. Each team has deposited $5 to be paid for suitable prizes The opening games were played last night
