There seems to be considerable mix
up concerning Bill Clymer's signing
with Toronto or Louisville. After a
conference with President McCaffery
OF the Toronto club, he was reported as
having accepted terms to again lead
the Leafs. Then came the announce
ment that he had signed two-year
contract with Louisville. which had
Louisville seems to be happy in the
possession of Clymer, but Toronto,
thinking it had him. only to lose him,
naturally is disappointed.
President David Fultz Of the Players
Fraternity is quoted as saying that no
demands will be made upon the club
owners in behalf of the players this
winter. Not because the players are
satisfied with conditions. but because
they do not think conditions ripe for
any of the demand stuff. The frater-

Soldiers Field. The huge white magnet
of the stadium drew nearly $4,000 en-

Rising triumphant from what two weeks
ago looked like a disastrous year, the
Yale team came to Cambridge today
flushed with its conquest Of Princeton last

lite among the betting fraternity. These
hackers failed to see how defeat could
overtake an eleven SO trained and
tested.
Depend Upon Guernsey.
Experts regarded the center OF the
Yale line, with Black. White and ]
Sheldon as the apex Of the defense, and
Guernsey's toe, which did such valiant
service against Princeton. as the Blues
principal offensive asset.
The latest Shevlin variation of the
Minnesota shift. as exemplified against
Princeton, was not feared by the Har-
ward hackers as a ground gamer, but
1t was admitted that In the last week
Yale had had an opportunity of max
ing even this simple play more ef-
fective.
The reliance of the Harvard offense
seemed to be in the deceptiveness OF
play with Mahan back, threatening to
punt. but ready to dash around the end
or through the center or to fling a for
ward pass to one of his ends. Whether
this Crimson strategy would prove
more effective as a ground gamer than
the bruising crushes of the Yale Of

If, as rumored, Arnold Gandi. first

services ought to be Charles w. Som

was merely to register batting aver
age of 1854. his percentage for the year
being 2SS. Gandils average in Will
sonville against the Indians was 1867
while in the Forest city it was 1862.
He pounded out twenty-eight hits. of
which twenty were singles. one a
double and seven were triples. This
brought his total base average up to
.559.
Against Cleveland last season, Gandil
missed connections with the sphere
only in six games, and in one of these
contests he wasn't officially charged
himself to four wallops in a single
