he will stir himself and whether he
walks along the French roads to
where his flying grounds are situated,
or whether he is lucky enough to get
lift in a passing automobile, you
will find him. some time before dark

 COACH SCHEME

New Haven, Jan. 16-Captain A1eck Wilson of the Yale eleven has made two innovations In his choice of coaches for next season. He has in stalled a permanent coach for the freshman team and he has retained for more than one season a resident coach, outside of the two permanent coaches, Frank Hinkey and Dr. Bull
 Hinkey, as head coach, and pr. Bull, as backfeId coach and medical director, are fixtures and are engaged for a term of years. It has been Yale custom. however, to retain the eresi- dent coaches only one season.
 Wilson has made an innovation in appointing for next year Percy Cor nish, who was coach of the. quarter backs last year, and Nate Wheeler. who was the freshman coach. The permanent freshman coach will be Billy Marting, who was varsity coach of the center rush candidates last season.

 D00IN FOR BERT
 NIEHOFF OF REDS

Philadelphia Pa, Jan. 16-Devel- opnents in Charlie Dooin's quest Of 8. new boss yesterday made 1t pretty certain that the former manager of the PhilIies will be traded to C1ncin- natl for Bert Ntehoff. the third base
 man.
 With Lobert gone. the club needs a, third sacker badly. and Ntehon would just about fill the bill Either Stock who comes here from the Giants, or Bancroft of Portland, will go to short in place of Jack Martin. whose work last season could have been better.
 There is only one possible hitch to the deal. When Herzog was here last week Dooing turned down the offer made him and Herzog went away. When Dooing finally consented yes terday to the trade Baker called Her zog on the phone at his home in Maryland Herzog said the deal was all right as far as he was concerned. but inasmuch as he had reported to Hermann that the deal was off he would have to have Hermann a,p- proval a tthis time before the trade was finally cHnehed.

Kelly came here to sign with the Highlanders as a scout, and Maise1 told several of his friends that he just dropped in to pay his respects to his new man ager and wish him success. !, When Manager Donovan was seen yesterday at the Hotel Imperial he admitted that the New York Club was after Kelly to act in the capac- fly of scout. He declared that if he succeeded in signing the former lead slider it an important step toward building upA a. strong team.
 Kelly has long been associated with the game, first as a player and then as a manager said Wild BilI'.

 Having failed in their efforts to in duce the Eastern association to sell out. to the 5Federa1s and meeting an other reverse when they attempted a consolidation of the Eastern and the New England circuits,- the Hartford and Springfield magnates have start ed on a. new scheme, Their present idea is to dtsband the Eastern as sociation for one year because tndf- cations don't point to a good season
 The trouble with all these plans is that they show an utter lack of knowledge of baseball law. You would think that men who have been in baseball for five years or more would know a little about the funda- mental principles that govern the sport. Almost anybody with an ounce of baseball wisdom could see that these schemes haven't a chance of succeeding. Just think of the ab- surdity of men having thousands in vested in baseball plants, closing these plants for. a. season and thereby losing the rights to the territory. When one of these foolish magnates came back to earth after staying idle g season, he would find somebody else operat- ing in his territory and his franchise made worthless.
