YALE HAS BEST TEAM SINCE 1909 Many Commented on Brilliant Show
 ing of Eli Team So Far This Sea- son.

Coach Tad Jones of the Yale foot ball eleven is being praised from all sides for the brilliant showing of the Ellis this season. Joe Villa, a Gotham expert, claims Yale has the best team since 1909. The showing of the Blue in the Washington J efferson game. ac- cordfng to Villa, vindicates Coach Jones' coaching methods. He says:
 Tad Jones, Yales mentor, saw his methods carried out to the letter in the tussle with Washington and Jeff ferson on Saturday. If Jones had kept the Yale regulars on the g1idiron for the full distance, his triumph probably would have been more impressive. The Washington and Jefferson players splendid forward passes, but 30 of Yale's 36 points were made before the second period ended. In upsetting this method of attack, the Yale team dis played some weakness, but there is no doubt that Jones will remedy the de- feet before the game at Princeton on Nov. IS. Yale has the best eleven since 1909. There is no doubt about it. Jones has progressed rapidly in making use of the material on hand, and Yales' future on the gridiron seems to be unusually bright. But Yale can improve considerably. Next Saturdays affair with the formidable Colgat eteam will provide another te~ to be followed a. week later by the mixup with Brown These games should result in plenty of experience for the New Haven team prior to the big clash with the Tigers

New York. Nov. During the greater part of the active and broad market today trading manifested no pronounced trend aside from further advances to new maXimums of certain speculative specialties, mainly those comprising the paper. leather and metal groups. Standard issues pur- sued marrow and frequently ire gular course. the monotony of the movement being relieved by occasional advances in munitions and equip mentS.
 In the final hour an urgent demand for U. $. Steel which had been little more than firm. carried the entire list to highest levels of the session. Steel changed hands in individual lots of one thousand to 5000 shares up to 121, gain of Is points. and within 34 of point of it's record quotation.
 Munitions were featured by Crucible Steel, which rose 5-S to 95; equip ments, Baldwin and American Loco motives at gains of 7-S and re- spectively. Industrial Alcohol, ranking. as a semi-war issue, rose 1-2 ana Butte and Superior advanced four points.

MAY CHANGE NATIONAL
 BASEBALL COMMISSION.
Club Owners of American League and National League Are Not in Ac- cord.

Chicago, Nov 1.--President B. B. Johnson of the American league, in a statement tonight, added th..t there probably will be change in the com pleXion of the national baseball com mission"
 The statement was issued after two afternoon newspapers had quoted MT. Johnson as saying that August Herr mann, chairman of the commission, would be deposed. Immediate denial of the statement was made. Presi = dent Johnson, however said that cer- tain club owners of the American league are opposed 10 "too much Ma tional league in the composition of the national commission
 MT. Hermann is president of the Cincinnati club of the National league and has been chairman of the national commission since the formation of the body under the agreement of the Ma tional and American leagues. He was here last week regarding questions in volving the commission.
 The commission is made up of Johnson, Hermann and John K. Tener, president of tke National league.
 There is a strong undercurrent ion of the ccmnission,'' President Johnson said. Certain club owners of the American league seem to feel that there is too much National league in it's composition. Personally, I have much to commend and little to crit icize in the work of MT. Hermann in the long period of years that he has been chairman of that body.
 Probably there will be a change, but that is a matter that can be de- termined only in future discussions between the two organiZa tions."

SHORTER TRAINING TRIPS
 POLICY NEXT SEASON.
Club Owners Think Three Weeks Long Enouch for Men to Get in Condition.

The Yankees are going to have a short training trip next spring. Smiling William Donovan, the guiding staT Of the Colonel Ruppert- Captain H.: Il outfit, has announced that the pit -Is-about 15 or more-and the ma, .. recruit members of his flock W4n not report to the training camp at Macon until March .. The regular members, such as Baker, Gilhooley, Magee, Pipp and Maisel, will not ar rive in the south until one week later, giving them about IA days in the camp.
 Donovan, like Hughie Jennings of the Detroit Tigers, is now fully con vinced that a short training trip in the warm climate of the sunny south is as beneficial as long one of four or five weeks duration. Furthermore, the leader of the Yankees is of the opinion that player, young or old, should be able to iron the kinks out of his arms and legs in two weeks and be in good physical condition when the club pulls stakes.
 Long training trips in the south and out on the coast may be abandon ed by all the 16 clubs in the two major leagues next season. Last year many of the Brooklyn Robins did not reach Dayton until late in March. But in spite of this these players were in
  members of the club when the team got back to Ebbets field for the games with the Yankees, Red SoxS and Ath- leticS.
 Jake Daubert failed to reach Day. tona until one week before the team started its journey homeward, while Hi Meyers, who played so brilliantly in the worlds series against the Red Sox, did not greet his comrades until they reached Washington.
 The Robins. that is, the regular members of the National league champions, like the Yankees, will not reach the training camp until late in March. Robbie has not decided upon the place where his men will practice and may not select the place until after the meeting of the league in De- cember.
 However Daytona may be deserted for Tampa. Fla. Charles Weeghman, owner of the Chicago club, is very anxious for Charles H. Fbbets, owner of the Robins, to assume that contract he has for the Cubs to train at Tam pa next season. The Cubs will go to Pasadena, Cal, and practice on the estate of Charles .Wrigley. Wrigley is one of the big stockholders of the Chicago team. Ebbets is considering Weeghman's proposition, but nothing will be done without Robbie's consent

M'GRAW WAS SORE
 BECAUSE HE DROPPED $15,ooo
Another Cause for Giants Managers
 Statement Pops Into Lin1elight.

The real cause of the outbreak of John McGraw on the occasion that the Brooklyn Dodgers beat his team has been revealed
 From a most reliable source comes the story that at the time that Me- Graw procured Heinie Zimmerman from Chicago and Charley Herzog from Cincinnati that he felt so con- 6dent that he would finish one, two three in the National league race that he bet S15,000 on this proposition" says Ed Grillo, the Washington scribe.
 When McGraw saw himself losing this amount during the Brooklyn se- ries he left the field and in his ire made the remark that his players were laying down to the Robinson team
 "MciGraw has always backed his Judgment with his money. The strengthening. of his team convinced him that the Giants would be one, two three in the race, and his disap- pointment when he saw his team slipping before the Dodgers can be Imagined.
 Seeing the $15,0oo slipping from his grasp, McGraw lost his usual level head and said things which any other man experiencing a similar disap- pointment might have done.
 When McGraw saw that his play krs were in the act of losing his bet he lost his head and made the state nent he is charged with"

NATIONAL LEAGUE SILENT
 ON NATIONAL COMMISSION
None Would Express an Opinion on Meaning of Ban Johnson's Remarks.

New York, Nov. 1.-President John K. Tener of the National League was out of the city today and no orc will authority at headquarters here would express an opnion regarding the prob able meaning of Ban Johnson's re- marks regardi2r the formation of the national commission.
 From other baseball sources, how ever, it was learned that the dissatis- faction of the American League execu- tive over the preponderance of Ma tiona1 League representatives upon the National Commission was nothing new. but that Johnson had not up to the present time shown any indfca- tion of adopting radical measures to change the balance of power.
 It was stated that year ago Johnson announced that he would not vote for the reelection of Garry Hermann as chairman of the com mission, and the annual meeting was postponed from time to time, but when the commission finally conferred Herr mann was continued for another term
 The chairman of the national com mission is elected annually by the votes of the two major league presi- dents, which means that both John son and Tener must agree upon the third member, since a difference of opinion woIld result in a deadlock As both league presidents are auto matically members of the commission as at present constituted, the only way in which the complexion of the body could be changed would be the election of a third member not 'affili- ated with either league in place of the present chairman, who is also the president and chief stoclxholder of the Cincinnati National League club.
 Several plans have been suggested for changing the National Commission One called for a tribunal of three prominent men in no way connected with baseball. Another would retain the present major league presidents and a third neutral member; while still scheme called for five mem
