TIGER DEFENSE STILL WEAK.
V varsity Gains Little in Ten Minute
 Drive Against Scrubs.

pr;nceton N J., Oct. 20.-The reavv rain storm which swept over princeton all Wednesday night and yesterday and converted University Field into a sea of mud did not keep the Tigers from having hard work- out yesterday afternoon Rush had his charges in the baseball cage part of the time to go over their slgnals and try out a couple of new plays and then brought them out in the open. where a dummy scrimmage ana then a. brief period of active play fol- lowed.
 The varsity was on the offense TOT about ten minutes end during tnis time 1t did not gain more than thlrty yards Activities were confined to me plunges chiefly, for the muddy heio was not very conducive to end runs or well-executed forward passes.
 Moore was not out but his injury i- improving rapidly, and IL IS hopeo that he will have rounded into shape hv the time of the Dartmouth game q week from Saturday. With Moores 8 re+urn the Tigers will have their full complement of varsity men, as he Is the only regular on the injured list. Moore's ability both In open held running and line plunging will prob hlv earn him back his place as soon as he Is able to fill 1t, although 1t IS cause for much conjecture as to whether he will supplant Brown or Tibbott.
 Brown is a valuable. man in the back field, while Tibbott's toe makes him valuable also for the Tigers, | especially since they have shown such lack of punch when they are | within making scoring distance. I1p- | bolt has been making some pretty gains in the scrimmages during the | last few days.
 Eddy seems to have won out over Ames in the contest for the place at quarterback. Eddy mas been di- | recting the varsity nearly all the time 1 this week, while Ames has been at the ] helm of the second eleven. Eddy is assimilating football knowledge nearly | all the time, and Is showing steady | Improvement at the position.

The Highest Priced Player.

Has anyone stopped to figure out just how much Owner Lannln nlaoe out of the Speaker sale last April!
 Speaking of high finance, which quite a few are, this sale was the record breaker of them all.
 To begin with, Lannin got S5o,ooo in cash.
 In the next place, he saved $1o,ooo worth of salary with Walker m Speakers place.
 In the third place, instead of break ing up the American league race around August, as he would have done with Iris on hand batting 1885, he played to big crowds through the West in September.
 The difference between close race and a. one-sided one was easily worth s2O,000 more.
 With Speaker on hand the Red .Sox would have come fairly close to making 1t four straight, as Brooklyn s only victory was won on a drive to center field that only Speaker could have caught. This extra game was worth $37,500 nor"
 So, by the simple process of ad- dition. taking a few "ifs' for granted, Owner Lannin all told cleaned up q bout 1000 on the Speaker sale Or. rather. he was about $117,OOo richer than he would have been if Iris | had been retained.

New Haven, Oct. 20.-Young Mc-I Auliffe of Bridgeport success-| fully defended his claim to ths| state featherweight championship by| gaining a decisive victory over Tomn1yl Shea of New Haven In a twelve-rounoi bout at the Arena last night. McAusj life outfought the local boy by soI wide a margin that the result left no} doubt in the minds of ring-siders as] to which was the better boy. Shea was| sinlrly outclasscd, proving no natcn| for his less experienced but more rus7 ged opponent. McAuliffe took honorsl in nine rounds, two went to SheaI while one was about even.
 As a climax to the finish or thel one-sided bout, Joseph Kilmartlii', who refereed the match, raised tho] hands of both principals, signfyihs| q draw. Kilmartin's decision catleul for unfavorable comment rom al1 sides, Fans who were strictly parti san in their views were dumbfounaeu] at the decision. Many of them tane' to see where Shea deserved the bettei
 of any one round. But Kilmarcin ap psrently thought draw fair Verolp1 and gave the decision as the bout ep neared to him. No one questloneW I<ilmartins' honesty. However, 1t Wu7 admitted on all sides that he had rem dered the most unjust verdict since ths announcing of decisions became re- ality in New Haven boxing circles.

AMERICAN LEAGUE
 AGAIN TREATMENT
Johnson Circuit Showed Superior
 ity in Inter-League Series }

New York Oct. 20.-The close of the baseball season of 1916 found the American league preeminent, due to it's victories in the Worlds series and the two city series which composed the post-season schedule of the league trio won twelve of the fourteen games played.
 The Boston Americans defeated ths Brooklyn Nationals four out Of nVe games; the St. Louis Americans won in 8 similar manner from their Ma tional rivals and the Chicago Amer jeans took four straight from the Chicago Nationals. This playing form was a sharp reversal from the resut ot the spring series when the NatonalN league clubs won twenty-four games out of the thirty-nine inter-league contests played just previous to the opening of the two major league pen nant races.
 In the minor leagues the majority of the flag struggles were reasonably cicse and there was less financial diff ficulties and disrupting of leagues than was the case a year ago. Among the circuits that confined their sched- ules to one season the winning club of the Eastern league showed the highest percentage when New Lon- 1 don finished with 86 games won and 1 34 lost for a total of TIT.
 More leagues than usual dlv1deo their seasons into two parts and an scme cases the winner of the first portion of the season met the victor of the second half in play-on Tor the cham pionship of the league This system found considerable favor with the fans and is likely to be adopted roore generally next summer.

How many times that matter he had known, That sullen thunder of the rising gale, That spelled defeat-how oft of late his own! What could it mean? Not that he, too, might fail! Surely the lords of Fate and Fame were just, Sure they could not hold this crown from him; This crown to last when he and his were dust; The crown that no dim age nor time could dim. And louder still rolled out that surg ing chant That called to him, at last, the pltter truth; To show him vet the gift no man might grant, The sum of all-the Godlike gift or youth. The crowded stands swam black be-

BETTER MAIL SERVICE

Through the efforts of post
master j. P. Hebert, it will now be
possible for the business men OF the
city to mail matter for train number
2, eastbound as late as 1897 A. M,
or ten minutes prior to the arrival
of the train. Heretofore mail had to
be in the Office thirty minutes before
the schedule time of number 2.
This will be welcome news for the
people of Morgan City who have had
to hustle to get their mail in time
for this train. Postmaster Hebert
secured this reduction in time and is
of the opinion that this reduction is
but the forerunner of reductions to
be made for all of the mail trains.
