Independent Base Ball Magnates
Hold Secret Conference
With Hermann.

CINCINNATI, November 4.-Base ball
circles were considerably stirred yes
terday when 1t became known that two
conferences between National League
magnates and Federal League owners
were held here Tuesday.
Harry Sinclair of the Newark Fed
eral League club held a short confer
ence with August Hermann. chairman
Of the national commission, while
, Charles Weeghman of the Chicago
Federals consulted with a representa-
| tive of the Chicago Nationals.
None of the participants in these con-
ferences would say anything of the ma
ture of the matters discussed. Both
out-of-town men could not be located
at the hotels, but were reported to still
be here.
Weeghman and Sinclair left for Chi
cago and New York, respectively, last
! night None Of the three would give an
inkling as to the exact nature of the
matter under discussion, and contented
themselves with the announcement that
| I'VE discussed base ball in general"
When Chairman Hermann was asked
last night IL the meeting had anything
| to do with the alleged deal whereby
| certain National and Federal League
clubs were to be combined, he an
swered:

eral, but further than that I can say

F0RDHAM BATTERED UP.
Bronx Boys Realize They Were in a
Battle Against GEORGETOWN.

NEW YORK, November 4.--As a re-
suit of the defeat received by the Ford
ham foot ball team in it's contest
against Georgetown Tuesday only half
Of the Maroon warriors were able to
get out for the drill yesterday. AS it
was. most of the fourteen men who re-
ported were in such a condition that
hard work was out of the question. and
after a short loosening-up practice
Coach Vaughn called off further activi-
ties. The disappointing showing Of the
team against Georgetown and the weak
condition Of the players at present
have the Bronxites considerably wor-
ried about the game with Boston Sat-
urday.
All the men who were on hand yes
terday showed some sign Of the pow
erful Georgetown attack. Cantwell had
decided limp from a twisted ankle.
Golden's knee was out of commission,
both Conklin and Corridor were badly
bruised, Dave Dunn was battered up,
while Treanor. the diminutive center,
who was the only Fordham man to put
up favorable opposition to the heav-
Ter Georgetown rush line, looked as II
he had been introduced to the wrong
side of q steam roller.
Coach Vaughn had no comment to
make on Fordham's poor showing. The
lack of any interference and the poor
tackling of the Maroon warriors Tues
day were big surprise to the Bronx
| rooters.

CORNELL Is CONFIDENT.
Filled With the Old Spirit to Down
Yost's Wolverines.

ITHACA, N. Y, November THE
Cornell varsity, which leaves for the
west to face Michigan in their annual
intersectional gridiron battle. will, in
the opinion of foot ball critics. be at
least IS per cent better than any other
team which left this city to face the
Wolverines. The team as it stands to-
day is every bit as good as 1t Is rated
and should with any kind of chance
and barring unforeseen accidents do
everything expected of it by Cor
nellians. 1t is safe to say that this con-
dition and rating of varsity foot ball
at Cornell is met with more real salts
faction than has been felt by Cornell
ians over the same achievement of their
other varsity teams in bygone days.
FOLLOWING the long and hard scrim-
mage between the first team and scrub
on Schoelkopf Field yesterday after
noon, Head Coach AL Sharpe announced
mat he would take a squad of twenty
f1ve men to Ann Arbor tonight, includ-
ing In addition the following men:
ley and McKeage, guards: Welles and
Jewett, tackles; Brown and Carry, CEN
tiers: Shock, quarterback; Schlichter,
Hoffman and Benedict, halfbacks, and
Lewis and Klinert, fullbacks
The head coach also stated that the
team would start the game the same as
against Harvard, as follows: Shelton
tackles; Miller and Anderson guards
Cool. center: Barrett, quarter; Collins
and Shiverick, halves, and Mueller. full
back. The entire squad, without an ex-
ception, is in the best of condition and
now going at top form.

WATCH FOR NEW FACES.
Princeton Coaches Not Satisfied With
Tiger Team.


PRINCETON. N. J., November 4.-The
final scrimmage for the Tigers, held at
Palmer Stadium yesterday afternoon,
was far from satisfactory. With the
Harvard game two days off, the scrub
team once more ripped up the varsity
line, and the coaches intimated that
Princeton may enter the game Satur-
day with one or two unexpected faces
In the lineup.
Harold Brown, who has been playing
right end on the first team all season,
is the player most likely to be dis
placed. He has been holding the posi-
ton largely upon his ability to tackle,
but his recent showing has been a
disappointment. Red Lamberton has
been playing a strong game at end
field, and he has an excellent chance
to pair off with Highley against the
Crimson. The other man who is in
danger Of losing his position is Halsey
at tackle.
While the practice today certainly
was not what might be expected two
days before the big game, the offensive
play of the backs was encouraging, and
showed the effects of the guiding hand
of Jim Mccormick With Capt. Click
at quarter and Shea, Tibbott and briggs
in the tandem, the varsity backs lacked
only the good interference by the for
again the force of their low and hard
plunges was checked by their own line
men.
Regardless of yesterdays showing,
the Tigers will have no more hard
work.

The reinforcement of the backfield
material by the addition of Van Nos

directors, headed by Tom Shevlin, was
in full charge, and the straightest kind
of foot ball was used in the varsity

NEW PLAYS FOR HARVARD.
These Haughton Will Spring on
Princeton-Line-Up for Saturday,

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. November A.
The Harvard foot ball team did some
hard work yesterday afternoon, the
varsity and the scrubs scrimmagfng for
more than an hour. There were some
letups while the coaches gave verbal
instructions, but the drill was a good
solid one even for midweek. The
coaches kept both teams away from
the goal lines, but the second team,
with Princeton's varied attack. gained
much ground. and the varsity men were
coached constantly on their defense.
particularly against forward pass and
fake plays.
Harvard expects an unusually varied
game from the Tigers and also has
been working on some new plays of its
own-ones that have not been seen in
any of the games played in the sta
dunn this fall. Haughton used a new
formation or two last year. and has
added a few frills during the last two
weeks.
The Crimson team worked yesterday
afternoon as 1t will line up against the
Tigers, but it was the first time the
combination had been together this
season. Wallace returned to play CEN
ter and in the backfield several COM
binatfons of backs were used with the
exception that Enwright did not f1t in
with the first string. He was out and
ran through signals with the substi-
tutes. The varsity backs included Nc
Kinlock. Boles and Mahan as one COM
bination; King, Boles and Mahan as
another. and King. McKinlock and Ma
han as a third. Watson again was at
quarterback and will begin the game
Saturday. although he is not In the
best condition yet. Robinson Is run
ming a close race with Wilcox for first
substitute quarterback, and because of
his drop kicking will stand the better
chance. provided Mahan is not kicking
at his best.

North Carolina Agricultural and Me-
chanical College. The Kendall Green
ers are not likely to win, and will ac-
quit themselves with great credit If
they hold the Carolina eleven to a
close score. The local aggregation has
been considerably shaken up this week
by Coach Hart in an effort to bolster
up the line. The line has failed to play
as good foot ball this season as has
been expected, and the realignment of
the players Is more or less of rebuke
to those men that have failed to meas
ure up to the standard set year ago.
The manner in which Coach Rush of
Princeton speaks of the probable out
come of the game with Harvard Satur-
day is indicatory of the successful in
structor and one who has confidence in
himself. Rush does not offer anything
as an excuse for possible defeat, but
simply says he has been given splendid
support from all and if things do not
turn out as Princeton hopes there will
be no excuses to offer. Says Rush:
never worked with finer crowd
Of fellows. They are ever willing. ever
anxious to learn and absorb everything
offered. Then. too, I have had the loyal
support not only of the players. but of
the Undergraduates and the graduates
ever since my arrival, and If things do
excuses can be offered. We have no
easy task before us. but we're trying
hard :,
Maybe Princeton will not win. posi-
bly, 1t is going to be humbled as 1t was
last year. but anyway, there Is a differ
ent spirit in Tigertown, and the play
ers and coaches approach the test of
the season in far different spirit
from that which existed just before the
big games started year ago. If
Princeton does not win from either
Yale or Harvard, its alumni may feel
assured that the groundwork for future
successes has been laid. But Harvard
has not continued its string of victories
over the Tiger. neither has Yale-and
probably will not.
