Close Yale BoWl Or Locate
Football Trouble, Is the Cry

New Haven. Conn Oct s6.-That some
thing must be done to get at the bottom
of Yale's football trouble or close up the
Bowl is the statement of a writer to
the Yale News today. who declared the
trouble can be located and urges all
students to help locate it fearfessiy.
When ! left the Bowl this Satur-
day I was blue-very blue-blue with
the color OF my Yale sweater. but also
blue with detection" he writes. Surely
Yale's color isn't to be the color of
encouragement. Every Eli there must
have felt the same way. 1t is not since
1913 that we have been victorious over
Harvard in footbaIl-siX long years: two
classes in the college aRS three In the
Sheffield school have grown to be Yale
men and have gone forth knowing only
football defeats before Harvard. Far too
much. After the game ! heard oh, IL
would have been different IL LeGore had
played Our team on Saturday with
LeGore would have been able to whip
Harvard that day? No! Face It Foot
ball at Yale Is sick-really sick-it is
not a state of mind.
This Is no time to deprecate what
has been done or to knock or to hit
back Something big must be done or
close up the Bowl More circumspection,
more results In action, more interest Is
needed badly. Dining table discussions
and sidewalk remarks won't suffice.
Realize thai Neither will a sacrifice OF
voices during the game. Did their good
cheering give Springfield a victory? OF
their lack of II defeat W. and j.? Cheer

the team, careful Individual thought on
what the team hasn't and has got to
have, and what IL must eliminate and
action on that by each man as he sees
way. will make this team a world
beater! Every thinking brain and eye
and tongue and body in this university
can better the team. The material Is
good. Our recent losses of fine players
are a handicap. Butt W. and j. had
no LeGore. nor did Virginia! We have
two or more backtield stars who haven't
equals in either teams. The line has
weight. No, We have the material, bur
what is lacking? i don't know. but I'm
going to know and then act Won't
every Eli find out that need and destroy
IL! The time Is short but SUFFICIENT.
Won't you yourself work this week to

no victory either.

by Winning Three Games from
Roycrofts-Switzer Features.

The tensions increased their lead In
The Washington Herald Duckpin
League to four games by capturing
the three games from the Roycrofts
yesterday in an easy manner. Through
the brilliant work of Switzer. the Jen-
sons landed the opening game by
forty-six pins. totaling SIS to $40,
while the second game proved just
as easy when Allen and Switzer came
with games well over the CEN
fury mark. Allen toppled l13 and
Switzer III, making the Jensen to-
tai $40. while the Roycrofts were
gathering SIT. In the final game
Capt. Deming and Beck led the way
and the Roycrofts were beaten by
thirty-two pins. the total being 56i
to 532.
Three marks went by the board
during the afternoons bowling. The
Jensons broke the high team set mark
by topping 1880 pins. while Freddy
Switzer annexed the high individual
game by dropping l3l pins and the
high individual set by gathering 3i4
for his three attacks on the little
naples. Brigham landed the second
high set for the day by dropping 3l3.

NO TROUBLE BETWEEN

Baker Says Phillies' Pilot Will Sign
Contract When Same Is
Offered.

Philadelphia. Oct. S-President WILL
lam F. Baker. of the Philies. telegraphed
a statement to Philadelphia newspapers
last night from his home in Brooklyn
denying that there is any friction between
himself and Manager Moran
There has been reports OF trouble be-
tween Moran and Baker because Moran
left for his home in Fftchburg without
signing a contract for the 1916 season.
Baker in his message said that he and
Moran would meet in New York in two
weeks and settle all details with refer.
ence to next year.
Baker also states In his message that
Moran was given n bonus because the
Phillies won the pennant. This bonus was
supposed to have been paid last Wednes-
day. Moran left for Fitchburg Thursday
and before leaving said that no bonus or
present had been made him by the club.

Lawrence on South Field.

Williams and Trinity have severed ath-
letic relations because Trinity insisted
on using George Brickley in its lineup
on Saturday. George is a brother of
Charles and was a wonderful football
player as a schoolboy. but he signed
with the Athletics for baseball and
afterward played with Reading. of the
Tri-State League. and later in the New
England League. but a little thing like
that did not stop Trinity from declaring
him a simon pure amateur.

get even with Williams for protesting
him. Brickley scored three touchdowns

enough for Williams.

OF the Yale football team next year.
This statement Is made on the best Of

Baseball Fans seem to have forgotten
that there is a decision still pending in
the United States District Court in which
oreahized baseball is directly involved.
It was last winter that the Federal
League sought to have 1t declared an ini-
quitous trust. and the matter was left to
Judge Keaesaw NJ. Lands to settle for
one or the other. To date he has not
yet given his answer. Little do the fans
realize that the future of baseball depends
upon his decision. What effect will II
have on the national game? How will IL
be overcome should the Federal League
and organized baseball decide to bury the
hatchet? There are SO many angles to
the question that it is furnishing plenty
al food for thought to the members of the
Hot Stove League.
Jitney baseball has evidently played out
its short string and henceforth will be
only a memory. The St Louis Federal
League club announced that 10-cent ball
will not be continued there next year. Il
il declared that il Is not possible TO make
a profit at e dime a head. That is one
Argument that organized baseball wins.
1t is quite likely that other clubs In the
league will follow the lead of the st.
Louis club.

JOHNNY DUNDEE THE
= winner OF BATTLE
New York Lightweight Defeats Willie
Richie. Former Tide Holder.
in Ten Rounds.
By DAMON RUNYON.

New York. Oct. 8-Johnny Dundee
beat Willie Richie. former lightweight
champion OF the world. in their bout at
Madison Square Garden tonight. and
beat him through all but two of the ten
rounds.
The queer hop-toad tactics OF the little
Italian seemed to completely befuddle the
one-time title-holder. Willie was more Of
a welter-weight than a lightweight on
the Scales. having nearly ten pounds ad-
vantage over Dundee. and he was more OF
second-rater than a champion in the
ring A fast and clever boxer at his
he seemed painfully slow and loggy be-
fore the weird-squatting. hopping. bounc-
ing attack of the Italian.
In the eighth the Californian appeared
to finally be getting numbered. and he
caught Dundee on the tip of the jaw with
a right-hand lick that knocked Johnny
TO the ropes. following this a second later
with another slashing right that stag
gered Dundee.
In the ninth he unveiled a beautiful
right cross, catching Dundee fair on the
jaw, but the Italian proved that there
is no glass in his facial structure by
shaking OF the punch and then winning
the round.
Richie was cautioned for holding by
Bill Brown in the fourth. In the fifth
the fighters fell in a heap when Johnny
almost hurdled Richie in n wild rush.
Once Willie slipped and fell on the wet
canvas. the rain falling through the open
skylight and dampening the surround
ings. Through the earlier stages of the
fight Richie fought in a dazed manner
and let Dundee swarm all over him. But
in the concluding rounds he was fight
ing 1t something like the form that once
made him champion.
He had no chance to catch up, how
ever. Dundee tried to make every round
a winning round. and won too far away
for any argument.
