.OWSLEY BOASTS PRINCETON STAND
 ON LEGORE CASE


 New Haven, Nov. 1s-Coach Jack owsley, 'o5s,. made an address at the final Yale mass meeting preceding the Ya1e-Harvard game held at Dining Commons last night. which aroused the gathering to a high state of ex- eitement- He began by referring to the days when he was head coach to Tom Shevlin's eleven, and declared that Tom was the best captain Yale ever had, and the best coach seen in New Haven in many a long day.
 "Our Princeton friends,s he contin- Nued, '..thought that by keeping out Harry LeGore they could turn the trick. But they live in glass houses. and what's more they know it. We have overlooked many such similar affairs at Princeton and look how they have repaid us, I was talking to a Princeton man the other day, and do you know what told him? said I'd start something down there. before long and finish it. A team made up of men who are bamboozled into com ing to collegeN to wait. on tabe at Princeton clubs has got it's fatal weak ness in it when it comes to a close mall. They may not forget the sig nals, but. somehow they lose heart
 teI will be well satisfied even if we don't win, but if Harvard lets up for just a few small minutes it'll be diff ferent story. Ehe reason we won last week is because this team has grit and they followed Tom Shevlin.''

EVEN MONEY ON
 YALE GAME SAYS
 COACH HAUGHTON

Cambridge, Nov. 1S-Coach Haugh- ton told the students last night that next Saturdays Harvard game was an even money proposition These 2-to-1 bets are all bunk" he said ttJ want to tell you that the facts do not warrant such odds. It is an even money proposition. Yale has had a. poor team this season, but the Bull dog has come back with rush, and they are all right now, be sure- I have a wholesome respect for Tom Shevlin and his works
 Mahan told the undergraduates that credit for Harvard's football success during the last eight years was due to. Coach Haughton alone. "Yale gets most of the preparatory school stars. but Haughton has developed nearly all of Harvard's by his system
 Regarding Saturdays game, the Crimson captain said he hoped "Ya1e would not get all the breaks as she did against Princeton last Saturday. Y ou can be sure we are going to see to it that the breaks come to us as we1l,'' he added

Doubtful If National will Increase Player
 Limit to 25 in 1916

It has been suggested that the Ma tional league may raise it's player linn f. next year to 25 instead Of keeping it at 21s as it was ddring the past sea son. The American league has a limit of 25. and 1t is argued that the Ma tlcnal should not be any lower, writes Ralph Davis in the Pittsburgh Press;
 There tare two sides to the argue ment, and the belief of many baseball men is that the National retain it's old limit The old league this. year had. one of the best races in it's his- tory. and the fact that the teams were all held to the same number of players is generally believed to be re- sponsible for this. Moreover. the clubs saved over thousands of dollars Tn salaries in carrying conlparatively few men and this was a. big item when conditions generally are considered. An inspection of the National league reserve lists would indicate that with q few exceptions the clubs can pare to 21 men by next May without embar- rassment and it is doubtful if a motion to increase the limit would prevail

M0HR AFRAID OF SHERIFF, FAILS TO
 BOX IN ELM CITY

New Haven, Nov. 1S.-When late hour substftutfons at boxing exhibt- tions are made the prospects are that the show will not be as good as the original program calls for and this was the experience that the New ,I4a- ven Athletic club of Bill Brown had at the Arena last night. The card ev- identity did not have much drawing power for the attendance was the smallest of the season.
 The headline bout was to have been 15 rounds at 135 pounds between sam my Robideau of Philadelphia and Walter Mohr of Brooklyn, who has been living in Stratford for some time Mohr ,phoned to the management ear 'Iy in the evening that he was sick and could not come here. An announce ment to- this effect made made from the platform and it was said that ideau and Jimmy NCapper, who was scheduled to meet Fighting Fitzpatrick in the semi-fna1 bout, would fight Chick Brown of this city
 Before the preliminary bout was put on, Lawyer Palmer and Deputy Sher- Brown and invited them into one of the offices of the Arena They eex- plained that they intended to attach what money was coming to Mohr for the Bridgeport Motor company, who claimed that Mohr had given them a note of $250 as payment on a{Bufek car and when the note was due, Mohr failed to make it. good
 As Mohr was not present, there was nothing to attach. Later. RosenthaI announced from the platform that he believed it was fear of having his money attached rather than sickness that kept Mohr away. He.-said Mohr had signed a contract to appear here 1Ast night and under jthe. circum- stances he did not think that other managers in this state should do any game.

Red Fleming, Football
 Star, Is Professional

Allentown, Pa. Nov. 18-M. ("Red') Fleming. Louis Hayes and Franklin Day, members of the Muh- Ienberg College football team, were barred from all athletics at Mullen berg yesterday on charges of pxofes- siona1is1n preferred by an official of the Catholic University, Washington. D. c. Fleming is former Washing ton and Jefferson and Gettysburg star.
 Fleming, it is said, had been play ing Sunday afternoons with the cham pion Massi1on eleven of Ohio. He had been suspected by the Catholic Univ ersity officials, who protested him be- fore the game with MuhIenberg last Saturday. Sufficient evidence could not be obtained against him, however, and he was permitted to play. Last Sunday Fleming, Day and Hayes were reported as being in the lineup of the Massilon team by a Representative from the Catholic University and the matter was promptly reported to Muh1enberg.
 Day and Hayes have not definitely decided whether they will remain in college or not Jim Thorpe, Dorafs of Notre Dame, Julian and other noted grfdiron / men played in the game. Massilon defeated Canton and thereby won the professional cham pionship.

DOO.N MAY LAND JOB AS MANAGER
 OF THE PIRATES

New York, Nov. 18- Charlie Dooin may get another chance to make good as a manager in the National league The former leader of the Phils is now tipped as a probable successor of Fred Clarke at Pittsburgh. Though it was reported some days ago that Jack Hendricks was slated to succeed Clarke. members of the New York ball club are inclined to believe that Dooin stands a better chance than Hendricks of receiving the appoint ment.
 Manager John McGraw of the Giants is reported to have interested himself in Dooin's behalf, and it is notables are bringing strong pressure to bear on Barney Dreyfess with a view to persuade the Pittsburgh mag nate to place Dooin in charge of his team.

.SH0RT TER TRAINING TRIP RUMOR ONLY
 JOKE FOR MAJORS

There are two situations in which baseball becomes funny. One is when a minor league meets.- and it's mem bers assure each other that they must and will observe a low salary limit, and otherwise curtail expenses, writes Joe Jackson in the Detroit News-Tri- bune. The other presents itself about this time each year, when the big leagues make the annual declaration for a common sense training period for their players. President Comiskey Of Chicago, has started the ball roll ing this time
 For several seasons it has been the custom to split the So1. squad into two teams which before the league year opened jointly played more games road during the entire championship D season. this got a little money, as most of the route was through territory not often visited by major league clubs. But it did the players no good. So Coniskey, shifting from California to Texas, were there is no great amount of exhibition money, has declared for a 35 days training session.
 Thirty-five days is more than any athlete who takes care of himself re- quires. In the case of youngsters, whose work a agTnanager wishes to pass on, five weeks may be alright. But a month isyenough for man of proved ability. Cobb and Bush each declared for less time than that Tyrus has al- ways opposed a long siege. Bush re- ported late last spring. Neither were ever better.
 Still, you'll see them trailing for the sunshine before the first of March as usual Last spring the national lea que had a rule forbidding the appear unce of teams in camp before that date. It was evaded of course, The Giants Tnanag cement arranged a of1Sn Ta rfv and The T01aVeTS indnlP- ed in about every form of athletics excepting baseball itself It has-been limited that they did toss the ball about, but induced those who were in camp to keep under cover the di- rect violation of the rule.N

Home and Abroad
YALE HEARS THAT CAPT. MARIAN MAY
 BE UNDER BAN

New Haven, Nov.& fs-Fhe report from Cambridge that Enwright would not be in the Harvard lineup next Saturday was not a complete surprise to Fafe football men. For several days runor to that effect had been in circulation here: Moreover, 1t had been linked with report that Capt Ma4an might also be out of the line on Satur day: 1t was reca1led5 that since the Harvard game much attention had been. given to zHarvard's other backffefd candidates, and tf1ts., 1t was said, would be ao- counted for by a threatened loss of Enwrigf1t and Adahan.
 It is also -e1raaered here that the Harvard faculty and other authori- ties have been besieged on a11>a sides to give the 1-1en special examinations to raise their stand in their studies high enough to let them play and that up to now this has been unsuc- cessful.
 The Yale authorities to whom the information was given did not think that the special examination plan would be successful, parti cularly in view Of the stand Yale had taken in regard to the Harry LeGore and Bill Easton cases where the violation of an eligibility rule was admitted by Harvard to be only technical, and where Harvard had gener rously urged that the two disqualified men-the stars Of the Yale backheld-be allow ed to play This informal request from Harvard, as later history show e., felI upoh deaf ears.
 As LeGore and Easton were YaIe's chief assets, so Mahan and Enwright have been coDssdered here as the chief sources of strength of the Har- ward backheId and the men that Yale feared the most of all. Naturally, as the question is one of studies Yale can take no staclH in the matter. and as Yale refused to allow Harvard and Princeton to influence, the decision in the LeGoFe and Easton cases 1t is ex- tremeIy unlikely that Yale would be willing to advise in the cases of Ma han and Enwrfght
 After the magnificent game Yale played against Princeton there was more reason for Harvard's sendins iza her strongest team against the Elaes and. according to the informatioza ve= ceivedN here, every effort to this es=d has been made during the past sevE days.
 Yale finished It's practice. in fhe Bowl yesterday for the game with Harvard Saturday After the practice more than 20 former Eli coaches and players who watched the team in it's final drill were of the opinion that Yale has an exce1Iez.t chance to de- feat Harvard. While the veterans ad- Enitted Harvard has more polished eleven they declared the Elis possess sufficient football ability to come through victorious.

Player Question May
 Block Negotiations
 For PeacsriR Reseban

One hitch in sAny pr or 0se q consoli- dalton of the National and the Fed erai leagues would revoIve about the players, writes writes Jah1es J Long in the Pittsburgh Sun A man high up in the councils of organized bail said that, in his Judgment, contract jump ers and reserve jumpers would not be taken back on the big line. Tn fact there are very few among the Feds who could now hold down jobs in the major leagues. No club would care to add to it's roster Seaton, Doolan. Tin ker, or Johnson These men are all through as big Ieaguers and so are nearly all of the reserve jumpers
 There are a few players in the Fed eral league who came up frornItl1e lots and who might be worth a trial in either of the major leagues, but nearly all of those who went over from the majors a year or two ago are no long CT of use in fast company Almost all of them would welcome chance to a. ccme-back, but there is no likelihood that they could make good. The real contract jumpers. at any rate,f will not be welcomed in organized baseball again.

SINCLAIR NOT TO CONDUCT FEDERAL
 CLUB IN NEW YORK

New York, Nov. 18-It is now defi- nfteIy known that Harry F. Sinclair of the Newark club of the Federal league, will not be the new owner of the New York club which is to have a place on Manhattan Island within a short time. James A. Gilmore said yesterday that the owner was man not before identified with baseball: and it is understood that he comes from Boston.
 Gilmore said yesterday that the league was not ready to announce all of the details of the proposed invasion of New York, but that the Federal league was opposedZto any syndicate baseball whereby one man would dom mate two clubs.
 It had been the general impression that Sinclair was to be the owner of the Federal league in this city. as it was reported that he entered the Fed eraI league only on the condition that if such a club was formed he would have the controlling interest The effect of a double ownership, however,
 might have a bad effect on the public, and this was no doubt realized by the Federal league, so that a new man was brought in. This owner is said to be a friend of Sinclair and of the date Robert B.SWard. and practically all of the details for the New York invasion were arrangned before the death of the latter.
 Gilmore said that the plans for the new park and it's exact location +on Manhattan Island would be announced next Tuesday, or "Wednesday. Several places have been suggested as the pos sibIe home of the Feds in this city, one the grounds at 225th street and Broadway, which were a couple of years ago selected by Frank Farrell as a new home for the Yankees. The only intination that Gilmore would give was that the ball park to be was lo-.

HARVARD DENIES
 TOM ENWRlGHT IS
 PUT ON PROBATION

Cambridge, Mass, Nov 1s-Har- ward held it's final scrimmage for the Yale game yesterday afternoon. The scrub team which had scheduled @ game at St. PauFs School. at the last moment was recalled and went into a short but very brisk scrimmage against the regulars The coaches allowed no tackIing, but the drive was hard on both teams. The scrubs have been working for 10 days on the Yale attack, but were able to do little with it yesterday The regulars broke through well, and showed that they have learned the defensive as- signment lessons.
 Gilman and ParsOn may be shifted, and as the heavy guard, Cowen, will start the game, it will not be known until the last moment whether he will be on the right or the left side of Wal lace.
 Billy Boles, the regular right half back, was used at quarterback for the scrubs for time and McKinlock got into the scrimmage. Boles may dis place Watson if the latter is injured, and this would mean that -Enwright would go to half back. EnWright was on the field and in togs. and the managers said that they had heard nothing about his being placed on prohibition, this being one of the ru- mors that was about the college cam pus.
 Harvard is now physically fit for the game. There will be a short drill today, and then the men will go to Lowell, Mass, to remain until Saturday morning. It has been decid- ed that Taylor will not Legtn the game at guard, but he is now in shape to enter any time he is needed. Parson and Gilman received a lot of coaching from c. Blagden, the veteran tackle of the 1901 championship team. Par son was the weakest of all tha liar yard rushers against Princeton, but the coaches are confident that he will be able to duplicate last years bril- year.

 Al Mccoy and Zulu Kid have been suspended for 30 days by the New York boxing commission for delaying the start of their bout last week. Zulu Kid, fellow citizens. that's a name for a fighter.

 The reason the Harvard coaches have been Keeping Tom Enwright in the background all season. was dn- doubtedly because they feared he might fall below in his studies. He is a great player but evidently not much of student. -s Even if he is able at the last minute to square himself with tho faculty Harvard can spare him for in Mahan, King and Boles the Crimson has a good backfleld.
 Despite reports from New Haven that Capt. Mahan of Harvard at one time played summer baseball. it is not believed any action will be taken by the Harvard faculty. Mahan and Capt. Wilson of Yale were in sum mer camp near New London last summer. After Harvard's generous stand in the LeGore case, Yale can't afford to go after Mahan's scalp.
 > There was some talk of matching Walter Mohr with Harry Pierce for the next show in this city but in view of Mohr's action in falling to appear in New Haven last night it is doubtful if local promoters would take a chance on him.
