ST. LOUIS. Oct lin the last

GEORGE SISLER TO
BE FIRST BASEMAN
Shift to Garden Against Cards Was
But Temporary.

ST. LOUIS. Oct. Alt is too early to
speculate on the probable changes in the
Brown club, The shift or Sisler to CEN
ter field In the last Of the post-season
games was made merely to meet an
emergency. Marsans went home and
Miller was hurt. That caused Rumler
to move into right, while sisler went to
center. Paulstte taking Georges place.
Sisler will be back on FIRST next sea-
son. because he's the greatest first sack
or in the American League today, but
Paulette can hit left handlers hard
enough to be retained. and II Manager
Jones Is to overcome the clubs woeful
weakness against southpaws, he's got 10

professor at the Yale Law School to
run to Yale Field and see his boy
practice.
Returning In his automobile, Professor
Taft told few friends that 1t was the
hrst time since thirty-eight years that
he had seen Yale football team play.
The experience was q novel one, he said,
and he enjoyed II greatly. On football
days, Mr.. Taft explained, he Ia generally
out of town on business. and all during
his long political career he' never has
had the opportunity OF taking in a
game.
The Yale team will take the field to-
day against Lehigh with this lineup:
Left end, Gates; left tackle, Sheldon;
left guard, Black: center. Taft: right
guard, Gait; right tackle. Baldridge;
right end. Comerford; quarter back, IN

sons.

Fortunately the American League Is
in a position to carry Its point. None

sportsmen. They will cooperate In re-
establishing the world series on a gen.

for all OF his more promising players.
Very likely twenty-five different play
ers will get into the Blue and Gray bat

fast, just the type OF n team to give
Georgetown valuable practice before

to be quite a kicker OF field goals, and
