NEW YORK, October 1S.-Charles A.
Comiskey, owner of the Chicago White
Sox. may have been thwarted in his
ambition to purchase an American
League pennant in 1915. but does not
intend to curtail his extravagances In
the least on that account.
II hear the Old Roman has only
started on his campaign for star ma
teria1 at any price" said Frank J.
Navin, president Of the Detroit Ameri-
can League club, during the recent
world series.
"Comiskey is determined to land J.
Franklin Baker at any COST" continued
the executive of the Detroit Tigers, Il
understand he is ready to offer Connie
Mack as much for the third base home
run king as he paid Charles Somers
for Joe jackson. Connie Mack could
have had that price for Baker a month
before the end of the season just closed.
Mack was not anxious to dispose of
the recalcitrant player. He felt that a
principle was involved in smoothing
the path for a man who had refused
to fulfill the obligations of an uneXpir-
ed contract. Besides. the American
League as a whole, and Ban Johnson in
particular, opposed the idea of making
the circuit topheavy by allowing one
club to absorb too pronounced strength.
II understand that because of the
failure of his present star collection
Comiskey Is more than ever bent upon
getting the services Of Baker. and that
he will outbfd any rival in cash or
players. ! hope for the good of the
league that Mack shows his customary
discernment If he should decide upon
releasing the home run slugger. Chi
cago is quite strong enough as the
club stands to make a desperate bid
for next seasons pennant. If Baker il

league would reap a benefit thereby"
Want to Help New York.
Navin's remarks reflect the sentiment
Of the great majority Of American
League club owners. After many years
these magnates seem to realize at las,
the vital importance of having a strong
club In New York. For years a Ma.
ttonal League championship in this city
proved a great boon to the seven Other
clubs of the old major league.

admiration Of their rivals. There Is 6

no sacrifice of his own goods.

Christy Mathewson is quoted as saying
that he doesn't know If he will pitch any
ball next year; that his old super Is
about all in; that he can't tell until after
he has given 1t long winters rest. But
whether he pitches or not. he is expected
to be along with the team, giving Valua-
Bile hints to younger pitchers now and

Every spring the base ball players kick
because It is too cold for base ball

TWO BIG GAMES
ARE SCHEDULED
Harvard Meets Cornell and
Princeton Plays Dart
mouth This Week.
EASTERN AND CENTRAL
START SCHOOL SERIES
Interest in Scholastic Foot Ball Will
Attain Greater Magnitude
This Week.
BY n. C.. BYRD.

Two of the big foot ball games Of
the year are to be played this week.
The most important battle. from a gen.
eral standpoint, Is that in which Dart
mouth Is to meet Princeton. and the
other will take place at Cambridge,
where Cornell goes against Harvard.
There are two other battles of more
than the average interest, but neither
| will be looked forward to as will those
mentioned.
| The Ithacans are said to be stronger
this year than in a long while. and
they have been proving this by run
ing up big scores on the secondary
elevens. They are hoping to beat Har-
Ward, basing their expectations for pos
sible success on the fact that Harvard
has not shown the powerful offense OF
| 1914. The Crimson was not able to
cross the Virginia goal last week, and
Cornell probably is thinking pretty
hard that it's defense is just as strong
as that of the southerners. Cornell
would esteem it the greatest feat of
| it's recent foot ball history, excepting
| II it could win from the Crimson and
therefore get the distinction of being
the first to have that honor in three
| seasons.

one Of its four great backs of 1914, and
| the cry went out that great hole was
left which probably could not be filled.
That seems to have been a mistaken
idea, though, because a combination
which could win its game by such
scores as have been run up by the big
green combination must have a power
full offense. Dartmouth swamped YER
mont by 60 to 0. and the most of those
points were registered by an eleven

Princeton Not Fully Developed.

princeton Not Fully Developed.
Princeton's task will be all the harder
because 1t is not able to develop as
rapidly at Dartmouth. The big green
aggregation must base the better part
Of its hopes for recognition among the
big schools upon the result Of the con-
test with the Tigers and its team is
built accordingly.
Princeton. on the contrary, bases its
hopes entirely on the Harvard and Yale
games. and cannot reach the height of
its form for another month. That DIFF
ference is greater than one might
imagine, as 1t means that Dartmouth Is
pretty sure to be a we'll developed. train
ed-to-the- moment, aggregation, but while
Princeton will be only half-grown. How
ever, that holds good in the offense more
SO than in the defense. Great defensive
capabilities have been shown by the New
Jersey institution. and 1t may be that
Rush has built his plans SO well that his
eleven will stave off the powerful ad-
vances Of Dartmouth, take advantage of
mistakes, II there are any. and win be-
cause Of that Stil, again, Princeton
offense may be q great deal stronger than
10 thought by those who have followed
the fortunes Of the team through the pre-
liminary season and may show great deal
more in that respect than is looked for
by Dartmouth or even by it's own sup
porters.
The Princeton men did things on the
offense against Lafayette of which they
were not thought capable and the same
may be true against Dartmouth. But
no matter from what standpoint the
game Is viewed the Tigers are up
against a powerful eleven, a different
task, and the contest is fairly sure to
develop into one of the best of the
year. not excepting those that are to
take place late in November. Right
now Dartmouth, with the probable
exception of Pittsburgh. Ia more than
likely the strongest team in the coun-
try.

DISCOVER A MINSTREL;

Natchez Young Men Say They Nursed
Viper to Their Breasts.

Natchez, Miss. Dec 4.-No more
will Martin Burke, minstrel man of
Natchez, put his confidence in strang-

credentials are presented.
Never again says Burke.
Recently Burke was called upon to
organize and direct the production of
an amateur minstrel show here as
benefit performance He entered up
on his duties zealously and soon had
an assortment of talent rounded up
for the occasion. Matters went
smoothly until just a day or so before
the entertainment was scheduled to
be produced, and then Robert aKiser
one of the end men, broke the news
that he could not possibly appear.
Manager Burke pleaded and remOn-
strated but to no avail. At the very
moment that the show seemed doom
ed there appeared the god from the

he gave. He said that he had many,

He did, and very effectively.
