BUSINESS MEN TAKE
 EXERCISE AT Y. M. C. A.

Medicine ball throwing, volley ball, basketball and calisthenic exercises constitute a part of the program of the business .men's gymnasium class at the Y. M. c. A. The class has been in full swing for one week and the men are rounding into condition. Hitherto unknown muscles were dis covered, principally by new members who had not indulged in these youth ful exercises for some time.
 However, this soreness is fast dis appearing and the anticipation is that great benefit will come from the exer- cises. Those members who have not put in an appearance as yet are urged to attend the next session.

Two Stars Out For
 Rensselaer, Poly Squad

Troy, N. Y, Oct. 26.-The Rensselaer, Poly football squad was further strengthened by the appearance of Clarence Higbee and Don" Patterson on the field yesterday.
 The former was mustered" out Of the Secopd Regiment Tuesday and is in fine trim from his training" on the border. The New Jersey boy is one of the best all-round athletes that Poly has had for some time sE1d he will be a welcome addition to the squad.
 Don Patterson, who has been out of the game for two years, is working out in the back field, and is rapidly rouhding out. He was one of Hobart's s star backs before he came to the In- stitute. and played on their "cham- pionship' team of few years ago.
 Both men are hard at work round- ing into form and it would not be sur prising if they appeared on the field in the game with Union, November 4. Coach Reed is working his squad hard with that date in view, and sunrise sees Al men out for the dawn prac- tise'' which he has recently inaugural ed with such good effect.

WRAY OF. PENN TEAM ONE OF BEST CENTERS
 OF PRESENT SEASON

New York, Oct. 26-Wray, of the University of Pennsylvania team, has come to the front as one of the best centres of the season, and now there are at least four in that class-Wray, Gennert, of Princeton; Peck, of Pitts burg, and McEwan, of the Army. As a rowing centre none is more active or useful than Wray, but Gennert comes near being the most accurate and dependable passer of the lot. The Tigers kicking game is strong and the kickers don't have to worry about the ball coming back to them just right.
 Folwell. the Penn coach, writes to friend in Pi.tsburg that he thinks his team has an even chance to beat Warmers Juggernaut next Saturday. Warner construes this as meaning that FolweIl expects to win and is putting in e11era icks getting his team on edge for the melee.

.DR, H0bL|1zEL
 IS 28 TO-DAY

Dr. Richard Hoblitzel, DDS. is the name and title he travels under du- ring the gelid months, although when the weather is warmer he is known as "Dick" or Hobby" while first passing for the Red Sox. Like Dr. Frederick Anderson of the Giants, who is a North Carolina tooth dentist" during the Hot Stove League season, Hob- litzel is an expert practitioner of the painless art. He finds baseball more to his liking, however, than extracting and filling the molars of a thankless populace.
 Hobby was born in Parkersburg, w. Va, in 1907. In the intervals of studying dentistry he played profess sional ball in Reading and Wheeling, and in 1908 the Stogies sold the big first sacker to Cincinnati for $2,700. Hobby became the regular first base man of the, Reds almost from the day first full year in the majors, he batted 1908. In 1914 he batted so poorly that Cincinnati turned him adrift, ev- cry major club in the National League having waived claim on him. It looked as if Hobby's major league days were over, when Bill Carrigan, who needed a first sacker, decided to give the cast-off a trial. The dentist hadn't been able to get along with Herzog, and that was probably re- sponsfble for his poor work. In any event, he had no sooner put on a Boston uniform than he seemed to be a new man. He covered first with great skill, and during the remainder of the 1914 season batted .319 in 68 games, whereas he had batted only .210 for Cincinnati. The change of air certainly did Hobby good. In 1915 he batted .2s3, and this year his average fell off to .262. Hobby is a clever fielder and his work is quite up to the average of big league first passing, although not of a, sensational character.

players were in just as good condi- tion as the other members of the club when the team got back to Eb- bets Field for the games with the Yankees. Red Sox and Athletics.
 Jake Daubert failed to reach Day. tona until one week before the team started it's journey homeward, while Hi Meyers, who played so brilliantly in the Worlds Series against the Red Sox. did not greet his comrades un- til 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 practise, and may not select the place until after the meeting of the league in December.
 However, Daytona may be deserted for Tampa, Fla. Charles Weeghman, owner of the Chicago club, is very anxious for Charles H. Ebbets. own CT of the Robins, to assume that contract he has for the Cubs to train at Tampa next season. The Cubs will go to Pasadena. Cal, and prac- tise on the estate of Charles Wrigley Wrigley is one of the big stockholders of the Chicago team. Ebbets is con. sidering Weeghman's proposition, but nothing will; be done without Hobbies consent

YALE TO DEPEND
 ON BACKFIELD TO
 BEAT W.&J. TEAM

New Havnen, Oct 26-Halfback Bob Bingham returned to the Yale eleven yesterday after a four days layoff and showed his best line plung- ing form of the season. The varsity scored three touchdowns against the scrubs during the 30-minute scrim- mage bout, Bingham taking the ball across for two, the first in a 30-yard run, in which he broke into an open field, dodged three tacklers and SCOT ed. He smashed through center for eight yards in making the second tall ly, after the varsity had taken the ball 20 yards in gains averaging 10 yards, a 15-yard end run by Harry Le Gore, and 30-yard center plunge by Full back Jim Braden, featuring the ad- vance.
 End Rush Comerford seized a fum- .ble by Quarterback Duryee of the scrubs and raced 70 yards for the third touchdown. Braden succeed ed Jacques at fullback and Gates. who has been playing left end, went to right tackle, replacing Baldrige, while Substitute Moseley was assigned left end. It is probable that Jacques and Baldrige will return to the eleven for Saturdays game.
 With the Yale rush line badly crip- pied by illness and injury. the Yale coaches rely on their backfield to out score Washington and Jefferson and, for the sake of effective team play, Le Gore and Jacques will start the game.
 The return of Quarterback Traver Smith has quieeed fears that he might not be able to return to the eleven this week. Because of the recent injury to Chester La Roche, the veteran Howell Van Nostrand will replace Smith, should the latter's recent iri- jury compel him to retire. There is little doubt that both Smith and Van Nostrand will be used during the Washington and Jefferson game. Rex Hutchinson has made good as reserve centre rush and there is no longer doubt of his selection to that position next Saturday.
 The companion guards, Captain Cupid Black and Gait, will be com pelled to play the game wearing heavy bandages, because of recent injuries to the ankle and wrist, respectively Yale will entrust the goal kicking fol- lowing touchdowns to End Rush Charley Comerford for the present. Le Gore, Gates and Captain Black have all made unexpected failures in this department of play since the season opened.

JACK DILLON WILL
 WORK HARD FOR GIBBONS ENCOUNTER

New York, Oct. 26.-Jack Dillon is very much in earnest about that little tiff with Gibbons which is to take place at St. Paul on the night of Nov. 10. He packed up his Sunday-go- to- meeting clothes yesterday afternooH and made straight for Indianapotis,t where he will begin preparations for the astounding one of St. Paul. sni
 Jack will stay at his home camp until a week before the big bout and then he will move on to St. Paul to taper off his weight. He has no fear of being weak because of thes low poundage that he will be required to make. He said he co i'd make 163 without drying out in the least
 Dillon brought Jack Fisher along to boss the job of getting down to that 163 in good style. Fisher prepared Dillon for Moran, and Francis Charles is generous enough to say that Fisher made a pretty good job of it.

PENN STUDENTS WILL
 GIVE TEAM SEND-OFF

Philadelphia, Oct. 26-A big send-off is planned for tonight when the Penn team will depart for Pittsburgh to meet the Panth- CTS in that city on Saturday. What Coach Bob Folwell regarded as the most satisfactory practice of the season was held on Franklin Field yesterday afternoon. In a drill lasting half an hour the Varsity team handled the ball without one tumble. The bunting of Berry and Quigley measured up to their best previous efforts.
 Charley Henning. the guard who was operated upon for appendicitis, was out on the field in uniform this afternoon. Henning expresses eagerness to get into Saturdays game, but Folwell told him to rest for another week.

CALDWELL SORRY NOW

Ray Caldwell, the New York Am erican pitcher who deserted the club last season anad was suspended for the balance of the campaign. is trying for reinstatement now. Caldwell was in New York recently. He tolo friends he was sorry for his past con duct and that he intended to go south next season prepared to fight TOT a berth on the twirling staff
 Caldwell, as a result of his failure to keep away from the amber fluid, was suspended for two and halr months and lost a large slice of salary. His suspension ended with the close of the season and as his conduct cost him several thousand dollars the club officials hope he has learned les son. When right Caldwell is regard ed as one of the greatest pitchers in the American league. He seems to have everything but common sense. His war time contract, said to call TOT sS,O00 a year, has one more year to run.

CASEY STAR OF HARVARD ELEVEN AGAINST FRESHMEN

Cambridge, Oct 26-Harvard's first team spent most of the afternoon working on its formations and plays for the Cornell game, but later went into a hard 10-minute scrimmage against the freshmen team and wound up with a lively mix-up with the scrubs. The freshmen, who are about as heavy as the varsity and. accord ing to some of the coaches, more ag- gressive just now, put up great fight, holding the regulars to small gains and, in a few plays, ripping through the first teams line for some good gains.
 Percy Haughtoh took the ball away from the freshmen when he found they were gaining so much ground, and on the first play after the ball was received by the regulars, Eddie Casey broke loose for 65-yard end run and the only touchdown the varsity made.
 !. The second team was in charge of Reggie Brown Cornell's plays being used by the team. but with no great success .a ssH
 There were two temporary changes on the first Nteam. Lowell replacing Wheeler at left tackle, and H. Cool idge being in Harte's place on the right wing. Both the regular players, however, were on the side lines and did some of the preliminary work. Gamer, the right tackle, received another hard crack on the leg yester- day and was replaced by Sweetser, who did his first scrimmage in two weeks.
 Clark and Taylor were saved, and it looks more than ever as if the team would have to be without Clark's services, at least to start the Cornell game. Lancaster and Parker, the new hnemen, worked at the tackles with the substitutes. Casey did some good running with the ball, taking it in all most every rush against the fresh- men. He now seems sure of his place against all corners.

CALLAHAN BOOKED FOR TINKER'S JOB
 AS CUB MANAGER

New York, Oct 26-It is being in timated on apparently very good au- thority that important changes in- volving the Pittsburg and Chicago National League clubs are about to be made. These rumors are to the ef- feet that when the 1917 season begins Jimmy Callahan, now manager of the Pirates, will be at he helm for the Chicago clubs and that Joe Tinker. present manager of the Cubs, will be without job.
 It is we'll known in baseball cir cles here that Callahan and Barney Dreyfuss almost reached the parting point last summer through an act of Callahan's and that Dreyfuss is pretty certain to be looking for new man ager. It is not believed Callahan is on the Pittsburg reserve list, although his contract is said to call for an other year of service in Pittsburg.
 Callahan had a fairly good year in Pittsburg and has improved the Pir- ates to some extent, but his differ ences with Dreyfuss, it is said, are sufficient to cause the owner of the club to seek Callahan's release. Most men intimate with the affairs of the Pirates behebe Fred Clarke will head the team next year. The former manager of the Pirates has not said anything in regard to the rumor. He repeatedly has stated that he is, through with the game. He has a large farm in Kansas and it takes all his time to look after it. Chick Fraser, veteran scout for the Pirates and old-time pitcher, also has been mentioned as probable success sor to Callahan. A change such as that suggested, which would take Callahan back to Chicago, probably would be welcomed by Callahan. He is we'll liked in Chicago.
 Probably no more popular man ever led a baseball club in that city. And man so thoroughly efficient in team building as Callahan would be a most | welcome figure in. the ranks of the Cubs Callahan's family lives in Chi cago and his home is there.
 Stockholders of the Cubs are said to be crying loudly over the payroll of the Cubs, and Owner Weeghman is reported to be lending an attentive ear following a year in which Joe Tinker wrecked the Cubs and paid out money by the barrel for youthful players who have done very little. The stockholders are believed to be making a demand for a slash in Tin ker's salary, and it is thought certain | Weeghman will attempt to pare some when Tinker shows up to sign the pa pers again.
 | Tinker is like the average man-he wants all the money he can get. So
 is probable he will raise a rumpus and then, if things can be adjusted it will be Weeghman's cue to drop Tinker and sign Callahan for leader ship of the club.
 This deal is not expected to be men, toned until the National League magnates gather in New York the sec ond week in December for their an nual meeting. and then several trades cooked up already are expected to be dropped on the public. Wilbert Rob- inson, Miller Huggfns and George Stallings have had their ears to the ground for a long time and some sen- sational swaps are likely,

 The Red Sox,, who were supposed to be fined for their transforming tour, will be all broken up by that repri- mand Ban Johnson threatens to give them.l That is if they ever hear about it.
 Glenn Warner fell in soft when he got that job coaching the University of Pittsburg football players They induced him to tear up his contract, which has two years more to run, and sign another calling for four years of service.
 The reason for that disastrous show ing of tho Syracuse eleven against Pittsburg last Saturday is out. It is said there is dissension in the team There was a scrap over the captaincy last winter and two of the line stars are not on speaking terms this season. The coach probably spoke frequently to both of them after the Pittsburg massacre.
 The baseball pass, which was used with such great success when Bob Folwell coached the Washington & Jefferson football eleven, will be the principal weapon of attack for the Pennsylvania eleven in the game against Pittsburg Saturday. There is a report that Young Rector will not be able to make weight for the bout in which he is scheduled to oppose Young McAuliffe here Novem- Der 10 It will be disappointment to the fans if Rector is not selected as McAuliffe's opponent.
