 College players. as rule are brainier and more gentlemanly than the sandlot players" asserts Rickey, "and there's just as much natural ability among the collegians as there is among the youths who come from the small town teams. Connie Mack built a wonderful machine with raw material secured from various col leges, and I hope to do likewise.

Los Angeles, Cal, Dec. 7-Ths football team of Syracuse University closed its tour of the West yesterday when it defeated the eleven of De- cidental College by a score of 35 to 0. The California men were much light CT than their Eastern opponents, and could offer only feeble resistance to the attach that was hurled against them Only once was the Syracuse goal line in danger. In the last quarter Occidental, in vain attempt to score, carried the ball to the Syra- ~ cuse four-yard line, but then the Orange team got together for per- feet defense and the ball went to the men from the Salt City on downs. Syracuse punted out of danger on the next play.
 One of the thrilling incidents of the game was a run, nearly the length Of the field, by Slater the left halfback on the Syracuse eleven.

 Bridgeport, Dec. 7.-Gene McCann, the former Bridgeport and New Lon- don manager who has been visiting in this city, says the baseball situation in this section for 1916 looks like puzzle to him. ."I don't know what the Eastern association directors in- tend to do,' said McCann, but thoy haven't much time to lose if they intend to get going for next season. After January 1 the fans will begin to think about the big leaguers going South and then before you know it the season will be upon us."
 "I have been in New York where I saw President Barrow of the In- ternational league and I know from what I heard there that the Inter- national does not intend to ask for Hartford and Springfield. It is re- ported in New York baseball circles that they would like to get Worces- ter, though. It looks to me as If they would not have much trouble taking Worcester because that club still owes players salaries and is not protected"
 McCann Salu IL wOulqn't surprise him if some kind of a merger were made although he thought the East ern would be more likely to absorb some of the New England league cities. "The owners of the Bridgeport Pittsfield and New London clubs ap- pear to have matters in their own hands just now,' he concluded. Me- Cam said he would make no plans for himself until the Eastern situa- tion cleared. His contract with New London has expired and he does not know whether he will return.
