RED S0X JUST
AS STINGY WITH
COIN AS DODGERS

Players of the New York National
League club who took transforming
trip at the close OF the regular season
are spreading a story that does credit
to the Dodgers as thrifty souls. Jew
McCarty, as is well understood, re-
ceived full share Of the Dodgers
joining the Giants in exchange for
Fred Merkle.
That little stipulation, it seems,
ranked in the breast of divers Robins
and when McCarty ventured forth on
hat little exhibition tour of the
Giants those same Robins arose to re-
mark that <ince McCarty cut in on
the Dodgers worlds series bit it was
only just and proper for McCarty to
donate a percentage of his barnstorm-
ing receipts to them to be divided in
equal shares among the entire team.
1t is estimated that each Giant nailed
about $500 and you can imagine what
McCarty and his fellow tourists
thought Of the moneymad Robins
About the only thing the Dodgers
parted with upon their departure
from Brooklyn was the breath to ar
ticulate their best wishes for Merry
Christmas and Happy New Year,
said an old time ball player who
had heard about the McCarty incident
from the New York players.
1t might be added that the Red Sox
are in the spendthrift class also. judg-
ing by a request for information that
came to a certain Brooklyn news
paper man. The announcer at Fen
way Park and Braves Field wanted to
know what the announcer at Ebbets
Field received for his worlds series
services. adding that he got nothing
from the Red Sox athletes. AS a
bonus" for his part in making the
late lamented series a success, Of
course, the Boston club had paid him,
but he was peeved that the players
had forgotten.

CARLISLE INDIANS
To PLAY IN new
HAVEN ON NOV. Is

New Haven, Nov. Manager Coop
err Of the Winchester eleven threw
bomb into local football circles last
night with the announcement that the
Carlisle Indians will furnish opposition
to the Red W representatives at Yale
field on Thanksgiving day. The
athletic board at Carlisle has already
given Its consent to the bringing of
the redskins to New Haven and it is
expected that final arrangements for
the game will be completed before
the end of the week.
The staging Of the Indians is bound
to prove an attraction here. For
years the Indians have stood out as
one OF the biggest drawing cards in
football.
In former years the Indians have
opposed Brown university on Thanks
giving day, but last year the Provi-
dence collegians saw fit to strike the
redskins from their schedule for the
first time.
The Carlisle Winchester game will
be one Of two big games scheduled
for New Haven on that date. The
Annex! and Washington Glees will
play for the city championship at
Savin Rock, as in former years. in
direct opposition to the battle at Yale
field. Both games, it is believed. will
draw record crowds.

CLYDE WATERS, IS
SECURED TO PLAY
QUARTER FOR CHAIN

With the guarantee that the Villa
nova College management will send
its strongest team here next Saturday
the game with the American Chain
Co. eleven at Newfield park looms up
as quite an attractive.
The lineup of the Chain team has
been shaken up since last weeks
game and O'Neil, the former Ford
ham player, will appear at centre,
while HOWE Baker will be seen in his
old position at end. Bakos, who has
made such good showing, will be as
signed as halfback, Clyde Waters Of
New Haven, considered one of the
best quarterbacks in the state, will
play in that position. These changes
will give the Chain team one of the
strongest line-ups ever representing
Bridgeport.
Appearing in the lineup of the
Villanova team are Brennan and
Graney, two Stamford boys, who
were formerly with the Stamford
High school Of two years ago.

Tom COWler Beats
Bill Brennan By Slight
Margin in Fast Fight

New York, Nov. Tom Cowler,
the big English boxer, upset all fore
casts at the Broadway Sporting club
of Brooklyn, last night when he ham
mered and battered his way to a vic
tory over Bill Brennan, the Chicago
heavyweight. His margin of victory
at the final bell was slight, it is true,
but 1t was there.
In the early rounds Cowler was
slow IN getting warmed up, and Bren-
nan found him comparatively easy
mark for his singing left hand lab.
From the fourth to the sixth session
honors were about even. In the sew
enth round, however, Brennan
spurted and several times rocked
Cowler's head with right hand up
percut. He was slow in following up
the advantage, and Cowler came back
in the eighth and tenth rounds and
earned the honors by his aggressive
ness.

with football. Seldom does a year
roll by without the Rutgers coach
pulling something out of the ordinary
that puts himself and his team in the
limelight. This season is no excep-
ton.
A few weeks ago Sanford invented
multiple kick, which was tipped Off
to Bob Folwell, the Pennsylvania
COACH as the greatest play ever in
vented. There was great excitement
when the play was tried out at Frank
lin field with no opposition. Berry and
Quigley had no trouble sending the
ball over the cross-bars from mid
field. However, when the kick was
tried in scrimmage practice it prov
ed worthless, as it took SO much time
to get the play off that the opposing
line had no trouble breaking through
and blocking the ball.

ACCUSE RUTGERS
OF ROUGH WORK
IN BROWN GAME

In a, review of Saturdays football
game between Brown and Rutgers,
the Providence Journal takes Foster
Sanford, the Rutgers coach, to task
for his alleged unsportsmanlike tao
tics. It says:
Andrews field, it is doubtful if Brown
again gives Rutgers a place on her
football schedule. That the visiting
team outraged all sense Of decency
and good sportsmanship is acknowl-
edged by every one conversant with
the facts.
Rutgers went into win at any cost,
and by any method. Fair play was
thrown to the winds. and the lives
and limbs Of the Brown players were
given no consideration. That at least
one fatality did not result was only
because of good fortune, and 1t Is a
wonder the Brown players escaped
without broken bones and disf1gured
countenances. SO much for the ply
steal end of the game,
Now for the other side of it. Coach
Sanford ignored all sense Of pro-

his seat among the spectators and

something he could not do from the
bench.
Players of the Rutgers team left
the players bench and seated them-
selves beside Sanford On the rear row
of the north bieaehers, and then were
ent into the game for a moment,
evidently to carry some order from
the coach, But the whole miserable
'ystem failed. Rutgers was over
yheimed, and Brown won the most
popular victory the country over,
Sanford has gained a reputation fer
originality and probably has pulled
1ore freak plays and made more odd
moves than any coach ever connected

HARVARD BEING
PREPARED FOR
PRINCETON NOW

Cambridge, Mass, Nov 1.-The Har-
ward football forces were gathered in
the Stadium again yesterday after
noon and were pointed in earnest to-
ward the Princeton game, to be played
on Nov. II. The unusual importance
of this years Cornell match made the
coaches willing to prepare for it with
single mind, but now the team en-
tiers into the last four weeks Of the
campaign, and with regard only for
Princeton and Yale.
The Tigers poor showing against
the Dartmouth team last week did not
serve to make the Harvard football

nave before them in order to beat the
Jerseymen again this year. Last year

If the Penn team makes good in it's

II am willing to play this game If ar
rangements can be made so that my
eleven can return to Philadelphia by
Jan. Z. This is the time limit the fac
ulty will allow for the Western trip,
and If an extra game is to be played
it must be played not later than Jan.

The work is listless. the tackl1ng poor,

made, but the seconds had the ball

wouldn't go any lower, but intimated

Bridgeport will be represented by
a strong team in the Interstate
Basketball league when the season
starts here next Monday night. Man
ager Leavy has secured Harvey, re-
garded as the best center in the
league last year. White has been
signed for forward. Capt. Beckman
will return to play the other forward
while Murray, formerly Of the crack
Sheepsheads, has been signed to pair
with Swenson on the guard positions.
Leonard and Roach will play with
Danbury.
Under the league rules all games
must be played in cage and there
will be no back boards to the baskets.

contents will be played, is being ar
ranged to conform with the rules.
There are six clubs in the league.

the roster in addition to the Blue
Ribbons, who will represent this city.
Jersey City will be the attraction
here next Monday. This club is
managed by Harry Wellum and con-
tains Fyfe and Reich, forwards; Ma
lone, center; Wright and Jakey Full
er, guards. The league rules pro-
vide that all teams must have six
players in uniform. Each team has
it's players under contract and there
will be no exchanging of men. Tues
LAY will be the regular night here
but because of election next weeks
contest is scheduled for Monday. Be-
cause of the high salaries to be paid
players this season the local manage
ment has found 1t necessary to get
more revenue in order to pay ex-
penses. For that reason there will
be a small section of reserved seats
for the games during the coming
campaign.
According to report from New
Haven the Annex eleven, which beat
the Chain team last Sunday, will play
here again next Sunday. 1t is said
that the Annex will meet the Valley
