INTERSECT|0NAL FLAVOR IN
 FOOTBALL CONTESTS TODAY
Rig Eastern Eleyens Must Show Something to De- feat Ambitious Invaders.

New York. Oct. 7-Unusual interest is taken in the football games 5sched- uled for, today owing to the fact that the chief contests willy all have an flavor, as five of the leading Southern university elevens will appear upon varsity gridirons in this section of the country, where they will test their prowess against teams above the Mason and Dixon line.
 Yale will have as it's opponent the University of Virginia, and the Bull dogs, it goes without saying, will try and wipe out last years defeat, when the Southerners won by score of 10 to o. Princeton will have new op- ponent in North Carolina. These two teams have not met for, several years, and although the Tigers won. on the last occasion, the coaches are not talk ing any chances and will put their best eleven in the cid. West Virginia will play Washington and J Jefferson. New York will not be without football, as Columbia will open it's season with Hamilton College.
 Over in the Bronx, Fordham will engage the Western Maryland eleven, and this should be, an interesting con- test, as reports from both colleges state that the elevens are evenly matched. Washington and Lee will go to West Point, and this match
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1916-10-07

should be really good try out for the Cadets. The West will also be repre- sented in the East, as Ohio University will oppose Syracuse in the stadium of the latter university.
 Practically every leading college eleven in the Central States will be in action. All Big Nine teams, except Indiana, have games scheduled, in- cluding one of Some impertance-tha between Illinois and Kansas at Ur- bana.
 Among the more important East versus East games, Harvard will meet Tufs, Pennsylvania will play Franklin and Marshall,, while the Navy faces Georgetown, Colgate will be tackling Maine, and Brown will have Trinity as an opponent.
 All these contests, together with several others between Eastern teams promise to develop play rather more advanced than is usual at this period of the football season. The records of the invading Southern and Western elevents last year show both great scoring power and defensive strength and as they have retained a majority of the 1915 veterans, it is expected that the home combinations will be forced to uncover something more than practice football if they are to hold their own Or win from the vis- iting elevens.

BASEBALL BITS

Needless to say that all National Leaue men are pulling for the Robins and that all American League men are strong for the Red Sox. Opin.~ns from either side are strictly partisan. The Robins played eleven games at Braves Field this year and are thor oughly familiar with every angle of it. The Red Sox won two games from the Phillies there last year.
 The games at Braves Field will be real tests. There is, ample room to make all kinds of plays without com ing in contact with the stands.
 "Therell be nothing to it but the Red sox." said Clark Griffith. 'pThe ing and fielding"
 What will McGraw say about the Giants if the Robins win the worlds championship? .
 In Hoblitzell and Gainer the Red Sox have two first basemen. but neither is in Jake Daubert's class.
 Zack Wheat as an outfielder conn pares favorably with Duffy Lewis and Harry Hooper, the Boston stars. He is a stronger batsman than either of them.
 Chief Meyers. if in shape, ought to catch all the Brooklyn pitchers ex- cept Cheney. Miller can handle Cheney's spitball better than, the fa- nous Indian. tf Boston's Royal Rooters, headed by a band, will make Rome howl today. But there'll be noisy Brooklyn crowd on hand, top. Robbie, if he finds that the Red Sox cannot hit Marquard, may use Sher- rod Smith, his other crack southpaw. in one of the games next week. Pat Moran and Grover Cleveland Alexander of the Phillies are going to Boston to root for the National League champs.
 All of the major league club owners except Comiskey and Weeghman will take in the worlds series. Three hundred scribes wifi report the games in Boston. There will be 30 te.egraph operators in the press stand. It is estimated that more than 20, 900 words will be sent out over the wires

MANY CAST OFFS
 ON BROOKLYN CLUB WHICH MEETS S0X

When the Brooklyns appear in Bos- ton today Uncle Robbie will introduce numerous cast-offs to Hub fans. His team includes Chief Meyers, Fred Merkle and Rube Marquard, former Giants; Mike Mowrey, once Pirate; Larry Cheney and Jimmy Johnston, former Cubs; Ivan Olson, let out by the Clevelands, and Jack Coombs, who was with the\ Athletics until two years ago. Robbie believes in sea- soned veterans. He has developed few young players. Daubert. Cut shaw. Otto Miller. Wheat, Stengel, Hi Myers Pfeffer all have been through the mill. Equipped with experienced talent, therefore, theI Brooklyn team has seen enough service to keep the toe weights on, no matter how stren- pous the big games may be. Old players in worlds series should not become rattled> or discouraged if things break badly for them now and then.

LEAGUE WON'T TAKE ACTION IN
 INGRAM CASE

Boston. Mass. Oct. 7--There was decided chill in the air in the smoker of the Bay State Limited which left New York at o'clock yesterday after noon when Ban Johnson, president Of the American League, and John K. Tener of the National League greeted each other soon after boarding the train. The atmosphere remained cool all the way to Boston, and Teper and Johnson each entertained different parties during the five-hour journey.
 John Heydler, secretary of\ the Ma tional League, is authority for the statement that no action is at present contemplated by the league on the charges made by Manager John J. Me Graw of the Giants against the play CTS. Some one may bring up Me Graw's assertions at the annual league meeting in December, he said, but un- til then nothing will be done in the matter, all other reports to the con- trary notwithstanding.
 After McGraw had accused his players of virtually lying, down. Ban Johnson gave his opinion of what he would do if the incident happened in the American League, and this may account for the apparent coolness ex- isting between him and President Tener. NJ >

LIVELY RACING AT
 THE DANBURY FAIR

Danbury, Oct. 7-Keen contests marked yesterdays races at the Dan bury Fair. In several of the heats the horses came under the wire at the finish almost abreast. Yesterdays and the 2:20 pace. The 2:14 pace and the p:20 pace. The 2:14 pace was the warmest of the fair thus far. Colonel O., after. showing poorly in the first heat, took second in the next heat and then won the three last heats by small margin in each heat from June Bug.
 The latter had won the first two heats, and looked like the sure winner. Lentella had no difficulty in winning the 2:15 trot, both Topol and Karoni

 Because of the plans for the Yale pageant to be held in the Bowl, Octo- iber 21. the football squad will use the old field for practice next week. The Lehigh game next Saturday will be played on the old Yale field, according to present plans.
 No man Is a hero at close range. New Haven fans went down to the station yesterday to see the Brooklyn players 70 through and Rube Mar quard was discovered in a game of pinochle with Gloomy Gus Getz.
 There is a rumor in Boston that John McGraw will try to swing deal for the purchase of the Brooklyn club. Ebbets said recently he was willing to soll his holdings. McGraw could make g. lot of money if he controlled the Brooklyn club.
 Eddie Mahan, the old Harvard foot ball star, was recently quoted as say ing that the greatest gridiron per- former he ever saw was Jim Thorpe. In a game against Harvard Mahan says Thorpe did the kicking, put over few field goals, ripped the Crimson line for long gains and made tackles all around the place. Otherwise Thorpe spent a quiet afternoon.

NO DISCRIMINATION
 IN FUTURE PICKING OF YALE MANAGERS

New Haven, Oct. With the change by the committee in charge. in the constitution and makeup of the Yale Athletic association. comes an entirely new system of managers for all the major sports in accordance with which there will be no more splitting up of the positions between the college and the Sheffield Scientific school. All elections will now be in accordance with the merit system without regard as to what branch of the university the competitors come from.
 Under the new system the fresh man athletic association is abolished and both the varsity and the yearlings are managed by the same men. For each major sport there will be an as- sistant and four second assistants to be elected, two each, from the sopho- more class in the college and two from the freshman class in the scien- tifc school.
 The>competitors will be nominated from the Sheffield school and the col- lege and will be voted on separately. In the preliminary nominations twice the number of men will be nominated as there are positions to be filled. The successful competitor for the major sport managership in the future will receive his "Y'' and the unsuccessful competitor will receive his numerals
 The change in the situation, it Is believed, will bring better feeling be- tween the two departments in the uni- versity because there has been a great deal of agitation against one depart ment having to accept men from the other to manage the sports. when in fact, better selections could be made. The fact that there is to be no more discrimination between the two de- partments is looked upon as one of the best changes that the new rules of the Yale Athletic association have yet put into effect.

The contest between great pitchers and great hitters started today in Boston when the Red Sox and the Dodgers met head on in the first game of the worlds series. All struggles in past diamond history have shown that the favored pitchers have been able to subdue batters in important serieS
 Detroit and Chicago had two of the best batting clubs in either league during the past season. It was freely predicted when the Red Sox started on their last western tour that the Boston pitchers would not be able to stop the western sluggers. Yet after the first game in Chicago, CarriA gan's boxmen flung back Cobb, Veach. Crawford, Joe Jackson and the Col lins boys with great slaughter. In the 1915 series the Phillies had Cra- vath, Luderus and other good hitters. Yet Moran's team had an average of .1S2 in the series. In the present en- counter Brooklyn outclasses Boston in hitting and the Red Sox fingers are ranked far ahead of Brooklyn's rifiemen. Will history repeat itself?
 A local lawyer announced that he had a pair of worlds series tickets he couldn't use and a few minutes after ward they had to rescue him from the frenzied mob of anxious buyers. Don't say anything more about women at Q bargain sale.
