SPEAKER AS MANAGER.

They are accusing Iris Speaker of trying to land the job of manager of the Cleveland club, Speaker arrived in Cleveland yesterday and that start ed tongues wagging. There seems to be a general impression that Lee Fohl will lose the job and ten applications have been filed for the place. George Stovall, who once held the position. would like to boss the baseball slaves again.
 Considering that he had a weak pitching staff to start with, Lee Fohl made an excellent showing with the Cleveland material last year. He held the club up in the race during the greater part of the season and drew such good crowds, both at home and abroad, that the club was money maker for the first time in years.
 Speaker never gets along very we'll with his fellow players and many doubt if he would make a good man. ager. At any rate the answer will be learned soon for Owner Dunn of the Cleveland club says he will make a big announcement at a dinner to be given the Cleveland newspapermen this week.
 The Eastern magnates must be hav- ing some trouble trying to induce those Fitchburg sportsmen to take the Portland franchise. The committee appointed to make up the 1917 circuit was to have met in Springfield yester- day but President O'Neil postponed it. He said the gathering would be held in a week or ten days. The commit tee members have some hard work ahead of them. The. league won't be success unless the circuit is more compact and if teams in this section

Boston, Mass, Oct. 31.-Oh, what a difference 8 few hours make! HAr- ward men today, are; Hooking forward to Nov. Il and Nov. 25 with feelings far different than those at noon on Saturday. Then even Cornell was dreaded. Now neither Princeton nor Yale Is arousing any marked appre- hension. The football atmosphere at Cambridge Is far more temperate. Con- fidence in Percy D. Hhughton and his methods, never really shaken, is stronger than ever. This was plainly noticeable around the locker building yesterday afternoon.
 It was day of rest for the Harvard regulars. The men who made victory possible over Cornell on Saturday were excused even from reporting. But there was no rest for Haughton, Leo Leary and the other coaches. It is pant of the system here to build from the bottom, and no player who gives any promise of being helpful is over looked or neglected.
 The scrub and some of the substi- tutes were drilled as carefully, judg- ing from remarks heard as they came out of the stadium, as if the Princeton and Yale games depended on their ef-
 forts.
 Secret practice at Harvard is secret
 practice. The laws of Haughton are
 as the laws of the Modes end Per-
 siana No exceptions are made. There Is democracy in Harvard's sports, but
 none in Harvard's football system.
 Results speak for that system; its &C.,
 tua1 operation must be left to hearsay or the imagination.
 Percy D. Haughton is not always
 understood by newspaper men. He
 said as much himself yesterday after noon. This to a large extent is his

 Derby will be on the map soon. If the Yale regatta on the Housatonic river is a success November II the Yale-Princeton-Cor race will be rowed there next May. It will be a big day in Derby when the college boys go prancing through thet own.
 The minor leagues had a tough time making expenses last season but the players have bobbed up with new de- mands which will send the buch leaguers over the hill to the poor house. Col. Ebbets, the Brooklyn magnate. Capt. Huston of the Yankees and other big leaguers, will attend the minor league convention in New Or leans where the demands will be pre- scented. They probably want to back up the minor leaguers in resisting the players. Something tells us that Miske's vic- tory over Levinsky last night means that the boys will be matched again in the near future. Will this be the beginning of another serial story like the Dillon-Levinsky affair!
 Eddie Casey, the Harvard speed merachant is modest anyway. He says his own work against Cornell didn't amount to much. He declares Horween's kicking was the biggest factor in the victory.

 Is to Have Summer Baseball.

The Putnam Chamber of Commerce has received from Albert G. Forni proprietor of the City hotel, the fol- lowing letter:
 in the summer of 1916 Putnam will be represented in the baseball world.
 I have leased the grounds known as TourtelIotte's place from MT. Reach and I will try to produce a winning team for this season.
 It is known fact that baseball will attract many people into Putnam and that local merchants and business men will benefit by it more or less. Hence, I propose to issue an admission tick ct, good for twelve games in Putnam, at price of S2 each.
 I wish to ask the Chamber of Com merce to sanction and recommend all members, merchants and business men to cooperate with me in this ven ture by purchasing each a ticket.
 In return, I promise to carry on the management of this baseball team to the best of my ability and judgment.
 Very respectfully,
 ALBERT G. FORM.

 Oil is again to be used this season, as for several years past. Usually the order for oil has been placed somewhat earlier in the year, so there may be some delay, considering the congested condition on the railroads, in getting a supply here. but no great inconvenience is anticipated.
 There will be less surface to oil this spring on account of the new pave ments put in in Union square, Union ! and Main streets and Elm street last fall, so the expense may be less than it was last year, providing oil is not more expensive.

 OF MAKING BREAD
300 Pounds of Grain Produces 400
 Pounds of "Natural Bread"

Rome, April 1s-A new method of making bread recently adopted in Italy has proved a great success It is found that 300 pounds of grain produces 400 pounds of what Is term ed natural bread"
 In the process the grain is sifted and washed; it is then left for 4S to 50 hours in a warm bath. where it germinates and begins to sprout. When the germinating process has gone far enough the grain is crushed in a machine and made into dough. which is passed into the oven
 The natural bread is grayish in color. with an agreeable odor, and has much higher nutritive properties than white bread. according to the Cor riere Della Sera- Its eating qualities are digestibility are shown by the preference given 1t by Italians who have tried it.
