That the pitching in the American
League is decidedly better than that
which the twirlers in the National dis
played last season is matter of rec
ord, and the Johnson circuit will be
found to have twice as many or more
800 hitters when the official avera ges
are made public.
Hank Robinson. one of the St. Louis
Cardinals pitchers, has jumped to the
Feds. AT any rate, Manager Miller Hug
gins thinks he has, because of tip he
got from friend of Rebel Cakes, the
manager of the Pittfeds, who is sup
posed to have signed Robinson.
But there is nothing to worry Hug
gins in the Robinson jump. When Hug
gins signed his players last fall for the
next. season, he told Robinson he would
have to wait until spring for his con-
tract, as HugginS wanted to see if his
arm had recovered its strength and
would pay him accordingly. Robinson
did not want to take that sort of a
chance and got a job with the Feds, so
the story goes, but unless his arm
shows remarka BILE reversal of form he
will not be much use to his new en-
ployers.
Miller Higgins, besides being a most
capable player and manager, also is
leader of the Cardinals is given credit
for keeping the Brittons in base ball.
Soon after the season was over Phil
Ball, owner of the ST. Louis Fed club,
got busy trying to buy the Cardinals
from the Brittons. Huggins got wind
Of what was going on and quietly Slip
ped into st. Louis and urged the Brit
tons not to sell at any price. Huggins
told his employers that the Federal
League should be allowed to go its own
way. He presented strong argument,
contending that the Cardinals could not
be harmed by the Feds and with a sue
cessful season could easily overcome
the losses suffered in 1915

CRIMSON MINUS INJURIES.
Harvard Squad Finishes Season
Without Any Hospital List

CAMBRlDGE, Mass, November "a
The Harvard foot ball squad cana
through the Yale game without iniu
ries and finished the season as il had
oesun it-minus a hospital list Yesterday
MOST 1.-THE players left for a week
ehd rest at their homes after having
celebrated their victory with a banquet
and theater party Saturday night
The last act of the foot ball season
at Harvard will be to elect captain
Tor 1916. There are two outstanding
candidates for the honor and competf-
ton between them is close that none
can predict the winner. J. Atherton
Gilman. the tackle. and Richard Harte,
the end. will compete for the captain
cy of next years team. The election
will not be held until the middle of De-
cemher.
Gilman has been steady PLAYER all
year, and his excellent work in the
Yale game has established his right to
tackle position an American
eleven. Harvard men believe. This has
been Harte's first year of varsity foot
ball. but he has succeeded so well as
an offensive player that he is on an
equal footing with Gilman in seeking
the captain position for 1916
Gilman was a substitute lineman at
Exeter, where he was prepared for Har-
ward, and was never good enough to be
a regular. He kaS tackle on the fresh
man team in 1912, of which Eddie Ma
han was captain. However, the follow
ing year he was regular tackle on the
varsity eleven. He also rowed on the
varsity crews that year. Gilman was
dismissed from college for academic
deficiencies and remained away for a
year. He returned in good standing
and won back his place at tackle this
year. He is twentythree years old
and lives in Honolulu, Hawaiian
Islands.

him for another player for that posi-
tion.
to sell the release of Frank Baker to
the highest bidder also is being re-
vived. and it is added that Comiskey is
still willing to pay big sum for the
Slugging third baseman.
If ComSkey should get Baker for
third base and Gandil for first there
would be d good chance for the White
SoX to win the pennant next season.
two positions where it has been de-
cidedly weak.
There is one club in base ball which
IS absolutely immune from Federal
League raids. That club is MINNEAPOLIS
of the American Association.
Mike Cantillon. who, with his brother
Joe, owns the Millers. also is the owner
OF the site on which the Federal
League ball park in Chicago is built
Cantillon leased the site to the Chi
cago club at big figure, and Incl
dentally put provision in the lease
which binds the Federal League never
to touch player on the Minneapolis
club. This agreement is so arranged
that If it is broken the lease would be
automatically abrogated and the Feds
would be without home in Chicago.
There are no wiser men in base ball
than the Cantillons. They have proved
this in all their transactions since they
have been in business for themselves
and their agreement with the Feds is
SAID to have been masterpiece of
business judgment.
Willie Hoppe once more is proving
himself the greatest billiard player the
game has ever produced. Since 1906,
when he defeated the champion of
France, Maurice VigneauN, Hoppe has
been the king Of the billiard game. In
nine years Willie has advanced, and to-
day he outclasses the field to such an
extent that many billiard experts pre-
dict, that after the current handicap
blakline tournament Hoppe will have to
be eliminated from further competition
for the title.
