sLossoN FACES HARD TASK.
Must Make 70 Points Tonight OF
Lose Match to De Orc.

NEW YORK, October 22-A1fredo De
Orc outscored George Slosson. 30 to IS
last night in the fourth block of their
three -cushion match at Doyle's. and
thereby increased his lead over the for
mer balkline star from 13 points to %
The total score now Is 200 to 172 in De
Oro's favor. ALI he will have to do in
the final block tonight in order to win
the match is to make his SO points be-
fore Slosson can get 10.
All of De Oro's gain last night was
made in the early stages of play. He
began in whirlwind fashion by com
pleting seventeen counts in the first
nine innings. Meanwhile Slosson expe.
rienced two kinds of discouragements
which alternated. Part of the time he
was halted by De Oro's safety play anC
on other occasions when point was in
view he missed by the smallest sort Of
margin. Between the two difficulties
he was held scoreless, while De Orc
amassed his seventeen in small por-
tons. From that point on De Orc
played conservatively, aiming chiefly
to protect his lead, and with the new
tactics in vogue Slosson did a little
better than hold his own to the finish
Each man had sixty-nine innings at the
table and each made high run of 4.

TIGERS NEW PLAYS.
Princeton Ready to Face the Dart
mouth Team Tomorrow.

PRINCETON, N. j., October o.
Princeton coaches figured that scrim-
mage yesterday afternoon was very apt
to take the edge off the team for the
Dartmouth game Saturday, so the var
sity players had an easy time of prac-
tice. The players were worked the
hardest they have been worked this
fall the first three days Of the week
and consequently were not feeling any
too snappy.
Another hard scrimmage would like
ly have made the players a bit stale,
so Coach Speedy Rush ordered his
charges to the stadium. where they
were put through a mock scrimmage
and dummy drills, in which the scrubs
used several of the Dartmouth open
formations that are known to Prince
ton. Special attention was given to the
varsity backs in breaking up forward
passes Princeton is looking for the
Green team to play very open offen-
sive game, and the Tigers have been
working up a defense the major part
of this week to meet 1t. The Ilgers
are very likely to spring few open
formations themselves that nave not
been revealed yet.
Rush had his drop kickers on the Job
Yesterday afternoon. Law, I1Dbott and
Shea ali had a pretty accurate eye Tor
sending the ball between the goal posts
from different angles, and any one of
these three men could be called upon
to drop kick inside of the 4o-yard line
without any hesitation.
Five hundred Princeton students
marched down to the stadium yester-
day afternoon to practice cheers and
songs and to offer a little encourage
ment to the players. Capt. Frank Click
expressed himself as deeply reSretting
the disqualification of the Yale play
ers The same feeling is prevalent
throughout the entire campus.

tates to re-engage Moran after its woe
full experiences with his predecessors Is
not clear But there have been numer-
GUS things done by this club of late
which no one seems to understand.
Outfielder Chappelle, who was pur-
chased by Chicago from Milwaukee at
a big price a few years ago and who
after a trial with the White Sox was
returned to the Milwaukee club, Is very
apt to find his way to the Cleveland In
dams this winter. When Owner Som
ers sold Joe Jackson to the White Sox
it was with the understanding that in
addition to the bunch of cash he re-
ceived he was to get three players.
Roth and Klepfer were turned over at
once, but another must be added. Chap
pelle, who again Is on the list of the
Chicago club, is believed to be the
player to complete the deal.
Chappel1e, by the way, is said to have
greatly improved and has a good chance
of sticking in the big show next year.
The st. Louis Federal League club has
declared against 'jitney base ball" 1t
would abandon the practice of admit
ting fans for 10 cents a head. 1t has
been demonstrated to the owners that
there Is no chance to make profit by
admitting fans at dime each.
The chances are the entire league will
abandon this system of trying to bring
crowds to the parks.
The reported sale of the Chicago Cubs
has been denied by all concerned. 1t is
however, not at all unlikely that this
club will change hands before the win
ter is over. The National League fig
ures it would be benefited II there was
a change there. The Cubs have lost
their popularity in Chicago by reason
of the feeling against the management
What Is more. the plant of that club is
a frame structure absolutely out OF
date and before patronage can be
hoped for modern stand will have to
be erected. The present owners are
not apt to do this. so that conditions
virtually force them to sell.

CUBS WILL BE SOLD.
And Ackerland Is to Supplant Carr.
Hermann as Reds President.

CHICAGO. Ill, October 22.-Here Is
the inside dope: The Chicago National
League club will be sold during the
winter, but no negotiations are In
progress at present.
Rumor that the West Side club was
IN progress Of changing hands grew
out of the efforts to dispose Of the
one-tenth interest in the Cubs held by
Harry Ackerland, as a preliminary to
his becoming president of the Cincin-
natl National League club through
tho purchase Of the holdings Of Garry
Hermann, chairman Of the national
commission.
The internal troubles of the Cinc1n-
natl club between the Fletschmann and
Hermann interests have reached an
acute stage. and unless the latter
comes to bat with something like
$2oo.000 within a short time the former
will be in position to name his sue
cessor as president of the company that
operates the Reds, and Ackerland is
tho choice Of tho Fleischmanns for the
position
Harry Ackes1and became a minority
owner Of the Cub stock through his
purchase OF the holdings of Frank
Chance. the former manager, in the
fall Of 1912. when Chances contract
as Cub manager expired. He paid
$4,000 in round numbers for a one
tenth interest In the West Side club
and franchise. and has held 1t ever since
acting as observer and mascot durtn g
the foreign invasions of the Cubs dur
ing the last two seasons. He is q
brother-in-law of the Fleischmanns
who for some time have desired tc
transfer his base ball affiliations to the
Cincinnati club.

Jack Dunn. manager Of the Richmond

city yesterday and took occasion to
add his praise to the many others re-
garding the ability OF Judge and JaIni-
son. the two players obtained by Man
ager Griffith from the Buffalo club Of
the International League this fall.
Dunn saw much of the two youngsters.
and he is loud in his praise of them.
Il have never seen a better first base
man In my life than Judge He not
only is remarkable fielder. but he Is
one Of the wisest players at the plate
that has ever come under my observa-
ton. Jamison, too, has a lot of class,
and as both are young they are sure
to improve.
The addition of this pair to Grif1th's
team is going to give him the best
chance he has ever had to land the PEN
nant. There is no doubt about the abil-
ity of either Of these players, and time
will show the wonderful value they
will be to the Washington team"
Tip" o'Nein. the president of the
Western League, who spends most OF
his time at the headquarters of the
| Chicago American League club, also
had heard of Jamison and Judge.
! O'Neill. who is visiting here, re-
marked: They tell me that Griff has
picked up a couple of wonderful young
sters in Judge and Jamison. I heard
the Chicago players. who saw them In
action, praise them as / have never
heard youngsters praised. They held
that this pair Of kids would do won

No Bonus for Pat.
Peerless Pat didn't get any more for
winning the pennant than had he fin

the world series and earning 1000
on the side for the stockholders Moran
didn't receive a penny extra in the way
of a bonus, not even a loving cup.
Yet Pat did get a loving cup, but it
was from some persons who left rs
cents at the gate every time they en-

owners.
Moran has grown gray in base ball
service, and naturally will not tolerate
any shoddy treatment, particularly in
the present base ball upheaval.

nothing will happen that would cause
