Fred Snodgrass Is 2s

Fred Snodgrass. who rounded out this season as a Brave after several years as a Giant, will pass his twenty eighth milestone today. Like his col- leagues, Pitcher James and Catcher Whaling, Fred is native of the Gold -en State, and was born in Ventura on Oct 18, 18S7- His showing with the Giants this year was so punk that Nc Graw released hn, but other pilots evidently believed that SnodgFass had some good baseball left in his system, for he received offers from the Reds, PhilIies, Pirates and Braves. After due consideration Fred decided to cast in his lot with the Gaffney bunch, al- though he might have landed with the Rhfls. Snodgrass started s1&s career as a catcher for a Los Angeles college team. and had brief experience with the-Angels of the Coast League before McGraw discovered him in 1907 The following year he Joined the Giants, but was sent to the outfeld, where he developed into one of the little Napo- Icons most valuable players. Last year Snodgrass had a flare-up in Bos- ton which brought down upon him a public denunciation from Mapor1 Curz ley. who insinuated that Fred wasn't a gentleman.

ANNIVERSARIES
 OF RING BATTLES

1s94AA1 Mccoy, claimant of the naiddleweight championship, born at Bur1eigh, N. J. Al began fighting five years ago and in 1914 annexed the alleged title by knocking out George Chip, who had claimed the middle weight honors on the strength of his two defeats of Frank Klaus. Since he became '.chanpiou,'l Al has been .outpointed by Jimmy CIabby, Soldier Bartfeld, Young Ahearn. Wild d-r8tlP' Fleming and others too numerous to mention. As a champion he has been about the. biggest joke since Marvin Hart posed as king of the heavy weights. and few people have taken his claims seriously Mccoy is a clumsy, awkward boxer, and his few victories have been won by wild swings. He has taken almost as many beatings did old Joe Grimm, but he seems to possess some of the latter's staying powers. However, Al is only 21 today, and he may improve with age. If he ever learns to box he may make a classy boxer.

Hans Lobert, B Today,
 Victim of Unkind Fate

Life on this mundane spheroid is a. peculiar, proposition, and full of ups and downs especially downs. For further details consult Hans Lobert. Hans will be thiFtyzthree years old to- day. but it is safe to say that he won't indulge in any uproarious celebration of the anniversary. When a diamond pastfner reaches that mature age he begins to have the feeling that a tur- key gobb1er oughta have at the ap- proach of Thanksgiving. About~the best that the bird can hope for is that he will be reserved for the Christmas feast, and it is pretty much the same with ball players after they Have reached the thirty-three mark.
 Hans has certainly been the victim of the unkindest of fates. For four futile seasons he played with the Phils the chronic a1so-rans of. the National League, and during that period the Giants were most of the time setting hef pace. Then last Winter Hans was traded to the Giants for Al Demaree, the pitcher; Milton Stock, the inf1elder, and Jack Adams, catcher. And then the P1i11ies copped the pennant and a share of the worlds series swag, while the Giants finished in the cellar.
 Lobert is>a German, and nobody can blame him if he takes to reading Schopenhauer, von Hartman and those other Teutonic philosophers who have sought to prove that this earthSis the slum of the universe and the worst old dump that could possibly be imagined.
 Lobert first got into the 1inelight as shortstop with the Cincinnati Reds in 1908. After that season he was transferred to third base. At the close of the 1910 season he figured in the big deal which added Paskert and Lobert to the PhiPs roster and sent George McQuillan to Cincinnati, a1- though the latter-1uclxy stiff!Ncame back to the PhiIs just in time to help them win their first pennant. Lobert led the third basenen of the league in 1913. At his best he was the speediest base runners in the circuit Last Win ter it was thought that Lobert would go to the Feds, but McGraw engineer ed the deal whereby he gave three players and a considerable sum of money for the flying Dutchman.

FORDHAM, N. Y. U. AND COLUMBIA ARRANGE FOR
 CITY FOOTBALL SERIES

New York, Oct. 18.-In order to take full advantage of the presence of three varsity elevens in this city F'ordham, N. ". U. and Columbia the coaches of these teams yesterday came to an understanding whereby they will have their teams scrimmage against each other for the. remainder of the season. Stevens may come in to that arrangement later on, but the Hoboken institution is a bit too far removed from N. Y. U. and Ford ham to make frequent scrimmages with the Engineers practicable.
 The scrimmages this season will de- veIop a series of games among the three New York teams for the local intercollegiate championship next year. The plan for scrinmaging this year developed from the fact that all three institutions are somewhat handicapped by weak scrub teams. It is we'll known that a strong offense may be built up by scrimmaging against the second stringers, but very little can be accomplished in the de- fensive line because the scrubs know the varsity signals.

WHITE MAY DUST WAY FROM CENTER
 ON YALE ELEVEN

New Haven Oct 1S-Yale's show ing against the spF1ng1eId Y. M. C.. "A. college eleven Saturday was, in gen eral. so satisfactory that no in1med- fate changes are planned for the Eli eleven. Although several of the first-string players will be handled Nightly this week because an unusual ly severe game is expected next Sat urday with Washington and Jefer- son, it is probable that Yale will take the gridiron against the Pennsylvania team almost exactly as it met Spring field.
 Carl White, the regular center, has been benehed by a slight injury to his foot! but may displace Way this week. The pair provide the strongest regular and reserve com bination for snapback which Yale has enjoyed recently. Vorys, freshman center last year, has just rejoined the squad, and will prove a live factor in the final competition. Howard Baldridge and Claude Black, who were injured in the Lehigh game last week, yesterday threw away their crutches and will begin practicfng with the eleven by the middle of the week. The coaches believe that both will get into part of Saturdays game.
 Belts. Thompson and Guernsey are probably out of the game as regulars for the rest of the season. s It will be two or three weeks before they are ready to practice again and by that time the active competition. for places will be over and the eleven resting for it's final games of the season.
 Waite. who has been laid up with a bruise for several days, was able to play the final period yesterday without injury. He is likely to win a first string selection at halfback even tually. For the present Smith, Sco- vii and LeGore will constitute the backfeId, with Captain AIeck Wilson running the eleven at quarterback. No Yale players were injured yesterday and the play of the Springfield team was remarkably free from roughness- Penalties against Ya1e,~ totalirig near ly 150 yards, made the largest list re- corded against the Ellis in years. The infiietion of the wholesale penalties is supposed to be due to Yale's pro test against the poor officiating at the Ya1e-Lehigh game last week.
 Yale's end rush play was a decided improvement yesterday and Moseley and Allen will continue to hold these positions for the present. Conroy. one of the regular guards last year, will rejoin the eleven today, but his chances of winning a first string nom- ination in the comp petition with Black, Jim Sheldon. VanHolt, Walden and Kent are only fair.

CHAMBERLAIN TO MEET PRESIDENT
 ON ARMY PLANS

Portland,l Ore. Oct 18.-Senator George E. Chamberlain, chairman of the Senate military affairs committee, was enroute to Washington today to confer with President Wilson, Secre- tary of War Garrison and members of the Senate and House military af< fairs committees regarding plans to be taken up before Congress looking to the strengthening of the army.
 "I believe the time has come to build un the country's defenses.'' said Senator Chamberlain. and I am con- fdent this will be done. I have not yet seen the program for the army's re- organization, but in the general outline as reported in the press T am inclined to agree with it. I have no doubt that measure will be present ed which will be acceptable to Con- gress and the people who are begin ming to realize how wholly unprepar- ed our country sis to defend itself against invasion.
 s'Thts preparedness is not for war but is Tor defense and if am cor rectly informed, the program as out lined by the war department also meets with the approval of the presi- dent.''

SCORE BOY BEATS PHILLIPS IN GAME
 AGAINST NEGROES

New York, Oct. 18.-The boy who operates the score board at Olympic Field won the game for the Lincoln Giants yesterday. and the Philadel- phia. Nationals were shut out to O.. For seven innings both teams battled without a score. The Giants scored a run in the eighth amid the cheers of the big crowd. zA
 The Phillies were out to win in the ninth. Niehof banged the ball into a tenement house on 1S6th street for 8 single Judge smashed one of Cyclone Joe Williams blenders into centre field sFhe ball bounded off the front of the centre field b1eachers high in the air, and as it was dropping outside the fence, the score boy stuck out his hand and speared it. He then tossed it to Thomas, Giants centre fielder. : Niehoff. who was on first when the, ball was hit, went tearing around and crossed the plate. Judge reached third before Thomas returned the ball to the inf1eId. The PhiHies asserted the bang was home run, the Lincoln team asserted it was good for but two bases under the ground rules, and the ump agreed with the Giants. Niehon went back to third and was caught at the plate on Eibel's tap. The next two men were easy outs4
 George Chalmers was in the box for Philadelphia and Stocl4s Paskert, Ban croft and Niehoff were the other reg u1ars in the game. The outfeld and first base were played by second string men. Chalmers allowed seven hits. He Tanned six Giants fnd handed out two walks.
 ..Cyclone'' Joe williams twir4ed for the Giants and Joe twirled the game of his career. He allowed but five hits and gave three bases on balls.

One Of the features of Saturdays game in the Yale Fowl, which caused discussion among spectators, was the absence of the lateral pass from the Yale attack. The much heralded play was not used once although the for mation was in evidence several times as a threat. Whether the coaches have decided that the play is not enough of a ground gainer to warrant using or whether they will reserve it for occasional use in big games is not known.
 As a threat it is valuable because it causes the opposing defense to spread out for fear that some open play may be attem pted. The threat play used by Harvard in the Vale game last year in which Eddie Mahan was sent back almost every time asAif to k1cK, resulted in big gains for the Crimson
 The showing of Bill Savage. the former Bridgeport High school player for Yale on Saturday was excellent Not only did he get a cheer for his drop kick from the 38 yard line. but he directed the team in snappy fash ion.> Some of the critics think Savage too slow on his feet for quarterback end hint that he may be used in some other position. Criticism was heard concerning the missing ol sronals by Yale backs and also the fumbIing. On several occa sions Savage had to halt play while he told the siepaA to some hack and once when near the Spring field goal line a rnivup occurred which resulted in the ball rolling along the ground because nobody was there to take it.
 Manaeer Jack Teller of the Pittsfeldl club arrived in this city this r7orning to attend the nneetir~ of the Eastern association to be held at the Stratfeld this afternoon.

SOUCY HARVARD CRACK END, JOINS
 HOSPITAL SQUAD

Cambridge, Oct 1S.-Harvard's hard fight against Virginia Saturday added another man to the indrnary squad at Cambridge. Soucy,,e varsity left end, after playing, the strongest of games, was forced to take the count with a slightly wrenehed ankle. Soucy is the best of Harvard's wing men, and Trainer Donovan opes to have him in readiness for Cornell Satur- day.
 Gilman's all around effectiveness Saturday pleased the Harvard coaches and it is freely predicted that the big Hawaiian will soon return to the form he displayed in 1913, when he figured prominently in both the Princeton and Yale contests.

J'M .COFFEY MUST
 IMPROVE I'D BEST ,l0RAN TOM0RRON Ns

Kew York. Oct. 1se-Boxing idols
 es been shattered before, and one
 ,e may be shattered when Jim Cof- tx, of Ireland, enters the ring to box s.an rounds with Frank Moran of zz.ittsburgh. at Madison Square Garden tomorrow night. It will be the most severe test to which Coney has keen put and if he should manage to win from the veteran Pittsburgh man he win establish himself more securely in che estimation of the boxing enthus- lasts. As it is, the Irish cannot see any other heavyweight in the world except COHeys and they, at least, with the enthusiasm typical of the. race. hold him better man than Willard. Z
 CofFey boxes with all the fury of the Irish that has been told in song and story since Red Handed Hugh first landed on the shores of the Emerald Isle. Moran,l with the experiences or years of hard lighting, is less imp etu- cszs, but none the less determined and douraxeous. He has never disappoint- ed in any, of his matches, apd with 9 chance to gain fight with Willard should he. emerge victorious he will ki1e of his best. And that same prize wifi urge Coney on to perform prodi- Efes in pugiI1sm.
 Cofrey will undoubtedly enter the 2Ts3Khey Q. pronounced 1HVor1Gep put this IS Itsze to the fact that his admirers are a fhat prone to allow their sentiment to swamp their cold judgment. It Is true. fh@f the Roscommon lad has swept along in famous style during the last ETs0ar, but he is young in the game, and ltAe men he defeated were mostly, of minor amportance. Moran has met many of the topnotchers. and although not always victorious, has always made q bitter resistance.
 Overshadowing the victories won by SsofEsy has always been the doubt that ne could go through any distance ApRainst a man who matched him in weight. skill and punching ability. He has rocked and reeled in some or his bouts after taking a clip on the chin in A manner that was far from assuring, and one could not help wondering what would have happened if the man ir, front of him had had the skill or assurance to plunge ahead and light It Is true that he rallied well, bat he was not hard pressed
 In the bouts in which Coffey fought Al Reich at Madison. Square Garden and Jim Flynn at Brighton Beach he won both inside the limit A clean Knockout was scored over Reich, while Flynn was forced to resign owing to a broken hand
 Against Reich Coffey tbordered on defeat in two rounds, but Reich hesi-s tated when victory was to be won in one crushing punch With Flynn he also was in tight places, but the fire man lacked the skill

.REM-ARMS BOYS SHOW GREAT FORM
 IN FIRST CONTEST.
(By Wagner.)


 In their IS to victory over the Williams A. c. of New Haven yester- day, the Remington-Arms players gave the impression that they will sweep everything before them this season. The Arms boy displayed lots of pepper and. worked well together despite the fact that it was their firstr at times but invariably stiffened when the goal line was threatened.
 Although the giant Mccormick and Milli1en were kept on the stdehnes by injuries, the Arms players pre- scented a strong front to the enemy Under the direction of Eddie Reilly the plays went off very smoothly, there was very little fumbling and the line charged quickly
 Several new men were introduced who promise to become favorites with thel rooters. Drone at center proved capable, has passing being pardcu- larly -good. -McCarthy at end also loomed up Hike a find and O,ReilIy in the backf1eld was a hard line plung- CT. He made two costly fumbles but has natural ability and if he can learn to handle the ball better should be valuable addition to the eleven
 Unk, Seeley exhibited great form in the backfieId and so did George Moshier, although the latter several
  too far back when taking the ball. It looked like the former Yost line with Rosenpanny, Pjura, Flanagan and Silva in battle array and when Bunk Abbott trotted out in the second ha5f, the Resemblance increased. Abbott Arms plant and will play regularly in the future. The williams boys were lighter than the Arms but were more ad-. vanced because they ] had already played two games They had some good formations which bothered the locals at times.
 The Arms scored ther first touch down in the second period after they had carried the balltdown the field by a series of short rushes, MOshier, Seeley and O'Reilly taking the leather Then with the oval onrthe four yard line and the last down, Seeley tossed an accurate forward pass'to Mccarthy. who received it behind the goal line. Silva failed to kick goal.
 The second score came in the final period after the Arms had worked In ball to the enemy's one yard line. only to lose it on a tumble by O'Relly.>But the Williams kick went only a few yards and Reilly ran the ball back to the five yard line. Unlk Seeley then gained three yards and Eddie Reilly skfdded through for a touchdown. Silva kicked goal. The lineup: Rem-Arms. Wilhana- Silva ....----- Morgan Richardson .....-.......-. Kapitzks
