Yet We are continually startled out of our Wonted calm by reports of fam ous and has, been leaguers being re leased to Phoenix or Fl Paso or Albu- 4uerque or Buckeye in the Arizona league It is this sort of indiscrimin- ate publicity that has borne with it a lack of credit for the new organization and has killed q lot of extremely good boosting by the home folks. Knowing so little about the inside of the deals, We have shuddered at giving expression to our distinct approval of the forma- ton of a league.
 Only last night, We were informed on apparently very good authority that Herb Hester. last years manager of the Salt Lake team in the Union Associa- ton had taken his departure from Fl paso for Phoenix to do exactly what Brown is doing Bill Hurley, a Vest ern league manager has arrived in Fl Paso to handle some unnamed club iE the league. Brown. according to the informant is going to, put in a Tucson club NoSales is seeking franchise. Well, out Of that stuff. We glean just one grain of truth-roliable truth. and that is, something is being done.
 Brown will attempt to bring the or ganization meeting of the managers and owners to Phoenix. He named George Reed, former manager of the Great Falls club in the Intermountain league and later of the Mobile club in the Southern league, aS manager of the Albuquerque outfit Ed Mackey is probably to be the leader of the Deming or Silver City forces.

TO REORGANIZE FOOT BALL.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, December q
Reform of Yale's foot ball policy was
last night placed in the hands OF
special committee by the Yale athletic
committee, who decided to turn the
situation over to a trio of Yale's most
distinguished former gridiron players,
consisting of Vance Mccormick,
Brinckerhoff Thorne and John Kilpat-
rick. They will frame new system,
recommend a new head coach. and VIII
make such other recommendations as
they deem wise TO put Yale foot ball
once more on a successful basis They
were requested by the athletic commit
tee to go into the situation exhaustive
ly. and they will report their recon-
mendations to both the athletic COM
mittee and corporation or university
trustee board. The ratification will be
merely a formality.
The feeling is general at the college
that too many coaches have been chosen
who had been failures in the business
world after leaving college, and the
new head foot ball coach viii be a
successful executive. Mccormick played
foot ball three years at Yale and was
captain of the 81 eleven. He has since
been mayor of Harrisburg. where he
is in business. He was elected mem
ber of the Yale corporation last year.
Thorne was captain of the '95 winning
eleven, and is a coal mine owner in
Pennsylvania.
Kilpatrick was one of Yale's fast ends
and track stars four years ago. He
has been a successful business man in
New York city since his graduation,
and has been a member of the Yale
athletic committee for two years.
Not one of the three members has
been Intimately connected with Yale
foot ball affairs the last few years.

at their own terms. the Feds had de-
cided to experiment with other meth
DDS. 1t was openly charged by a
major league club owner that the Feds,
by threatening to invade Manhattan.
possibly believed that the woman
stockholders of the New York Ma
tional League club would be fright
ened into accepting a certain offer for
their holdings. But if the Feds really
entertain this idea it will amount to
nothing, base ball men say. because
the owners of the Giants are deter
mined to stand pat.
''Organized base ball leaders, in short
do not feel sure that the Feds will go
through with their plans. 1t is argued
that the alleged purchase of the Lenox
avenue property for s1,250,000, and the
cost of building a five e-hundred-thousand
dollar stadium, together with one hun
dred -thousa nd dollar salary list and 9TH
er necessary expenses amounting to $780,
900, will prove too great a burden for
even an Oklahoma millionaire to shoul-
der for any great length of time. The
Feds. 1t will be remembered, cut their
admission rates last summer, with q
10-cent tariff for the bleachers. If this
scale of prices remains in effect, the
expected troubles of the promoters will
be doubly increased In other words
organized base ball leaders predict GER
tain disaster for the New York Feds. II
they actually materialize.'

too. more capable than usual.
The strongest team was that which
represented Georgetown. The Blue and
Gray eleven was one of the most pow
erful in the history of the university,
and probably could defeat any other
that ever wore those colors. with the
possible exception of the 1910 aggrega-
ton. Georgetown's season was not
marred in a single way. though it lost
two contests. The defeats charged
against the Hilltoppers were received
at the hands of exceptionally strong
elevens-Princeton and the Army-and
could in no way counteract the erect
of the splendid victories achieved in
the other contests.
Georgetown started it's season by los
ing to Princeton. to 13. While it was
a defeat, the Hilltoppers deserved cred
it for the showing, because they really
outrushed the Tigers and gained more
ground. The second game, with the
Navy, was a victory for the Blue and
Gray, by to 0, the first time in a long,

North Carolina University went down

Then came victories over Fordha1n,

chanical College, South Carolina Uni
versity and st. Louis University. all by
such decisive scores that the Blue and
Gray could not be considered other
than greatly the superior of all.

Class Foot Ball Teams Developed Here-Base Ball and Bown
STRONG ELEVENS DEVELOPED
DURING SEASON JUST ENDED
Local Foot Ball Teams Gould Hold Their
Own Against Any in Their Re-
spective Glasses.

I Catholic University had an eleven sc
| far above those that had previously
represented 1t that there was no COM
parison. The Brooklanders jumped
ball world to a point where they
proved their real worth Catholic u

| eleven and the other to a weaker be-
cause its players were compelled to
stay up all night as the result of a
| railroad wreck.
| Victories over Muh1enberg and Villa
/ nova were the chief attainments OF
the Brooklanders. Against Villanova,
| a team which defeated the Army and
Fordham, the eleven played its best.
The Brookland team especially made
such a showing that there is little
| question as to it's merit and future de-
velopment.
Gallaudet did not win as many games
as usual. but there is no discredit re-
tiected upon 1t, because it met teams
representing institutions much Its su-
perior in numbers of students. The
Kendall Green boys made credita BILE
scores against such teams as Roanoke,
Wake Forest and North Carolina A.
and NJ.
The Maryland Aggies had the strong
est and heaviest eleven in their history.
The team won six out of nine games.
1t dropped the biggest contest of the
year Thanksgiving day to Johns Hop
kins by to 8. but all the other state
elevens were beaten decsively.
The high and prep. school teams
also were much stronger than the
average. Business and Technical
turned out two of the most capable
elevens that have represented the
scholastic institutions since 1908 and
1909. and the other organizations were
of high standard.
While Washington lacks a big game
or two as an annual feature Of it's sea-
son on the gridiron, there has been no
lack of good foot ball, because the
teams that have gone forth have been
good enough to give the best in their
respective classes desperate fight for

heard from two weeks hence at the an

can be effected in time it is McGraw's

NEW YORK, December 2.-Local rep
resentatives of organized base pan
scoff at the sincerity of the Federal
Leagues announced invasion of Man
haitian. One and all express the ex-
ploitation of the Lenox avenue site as
a cudgel to whip the trust into
more pacific state Of mind. Those VINO
take this view point to the fact that
Gilmore and his associates timed their
announcement with the approaching
annual meetings Of the major leagues
in mind.
Organized base ball, however, GER
tainly does not propose to take its as
sumption for granted. The Federal
League Will not be permitted to build
up over the corpses of the Giants and
Yankees. The Independents are likely
to be fooled if they figure as easy OPP
position in 1916 as they would have had
year earlier. Harry n. Hampstead.

ms tailenders will be very much in the
running next summer, when he Is able
to erect certain reforms that John j.
McGraw has in view. Col. Rupert and

that the Yankees will be up among the

The Federal invasion, therefore, is
likely to develop great good for this

II McGraw's team finished in the ruck
Of the most sensational race the Ma
tonal League had seen. The local Ma
tional League club was contender
right up to the last month. 1t was the
first time McGraw had finished out of
the select set and in ten years he won
four pennants and a world champion
ship. The Yankees case was a dismal
affair.
The American League never estab-
lished such a firm foothold as the
Giants because it never had so promi :
nent a team. There always appeared
more or less animosty toward Frank
j. Farrell when he controlled the club
Rival magnates appeared to favor
other cities in the matter of sales and
trades when it would have been to
their better financial interests to help
establish a strong contender in the
most lucrative territory of base ball
According to the latest gossip the
threatened invasion of New York by
