cL AIM FRANK
 CHANCE Is TO
 MANAGE CUBS

Philadelphia, Nov. "A letter writ cago and reaching here yesterday told that Frank Chance had been appoint ed manager of the Chicago Cubs to succeed Tinker.
 The letter was received by Wade Powers. the automobile tire man, from his mother, Mrs. J. A. Powers. who left Philadelhia last week to visit Mrs. Tinker. Mrs. Powers is a sister of the n,other-in-law of Tinker, who makes her home with the resent man. ager of the Cubs. That art in the letter relating to the sensational change in the management was brief It merely read:
 Frank Chance has been appointed manager to succeed Joe Tinker. Joe left on g. fishing trip.''
 There was no other, reference in the note. This was the first inkling of such a move. When creduliry was expressed MT. Powers said:
 You can take my word for it that Tinker is out and Chance is the new manager. My mother knows base ball and would never have written what she did unless it were true.
 .I presume" he continued, "that Mr. Weeghman and the other owners of the Cubs told Joe just how things stood and advised him to go on a fish, ing trip and they would make an off, f1cial announcement of the change during his absence
 Frank Chance was manager of the Cubs in the days when Chicago was a power in the National League. He took over the Yankees in 1913 and was in control for two years. Since then he has been on the Coast.

ON HAND TO COACH
 YALE LINeMEN

New Haven, Conn.,, Nov. 7.-Only yesterday, Captain Black, Comerford, and Gates, and the makeshift Var sity eleven scrimmaged only ten 1nln- utes against Dr. Bulls third team In this short time two touchdowns were made against the scrubs. From the Varsity 10-yard line, the half backs alternated in short gains till they reached midfield. Head Coach Tad Jones, displeased at the field general ship, went into the game at quarter back, and by an end run Of 50 yards brought the ball to the scrub five-yard line, where Stewart went across for the score.
 Callahan returned to the eleven at centre and unless he is injured again he will retain the position, Hutchinson returning to full back. Jacques, an other prominent candidate for the place, left the infirmary and will join the eleven today.
 The arrival of Fudge Heffelfngel, Yale's greatest guard, pleased the coaching staff Heffelfinger, Jones, Alcott, Rockwell, Gates, and Brides were all in uniform, and Heffelfnger and Alcott played for a time on the scrubs during the tryout of line forma- tions. One of the Varsity guards said after the practice that he would pre- fer to run into a goal post any time rather than into Heffelfnger Rock we'll and Heffelfnger have agreed to remain till the close of the season. Charley Taft appeared at the field on crutches, but stated that he expects to play next Saturday despite a muscle bruise received in the Colgate game.

KuNz WINNER AS
 BROWN INJURIES HIS HAND IN BOUT

New Haven, Nov. 7-Chic Brown, lightweight champion of Connecticut was the victim of an unfortunate break of luck at the Arena last night when a. broken right arm forced him to stop fighting in the seventh round of a scheduled 15 round encounter with Battling Kunz of South Norwalk. In the sixth round Brown twice floor ed Kunz with wicked left uppercuts to the jaw. To the surprise of every spectator in the Arena the doughty little Norwalk lad got up on each oc- casion and took all Brown had.
 Brown, in his overanxiety to land a finishing blow, hammered Kunz with rights and lefts until his right ram went back on him. Brown tried to endure the seventh round when his manager, Lew Brown, realizing the big handicap under which. his charge was working, rushed into the ring and ordered his boy to discontinue. Brown had all the best of the fighting up to the unfortunate finish.
 Brown was rushed to his dressing room where Dr. Seymour l.. Spier eX- amined the injured member. Dr. Spier found that BorWn had sustained a fractured right radius just six inches above the wrist.
 As result of Browns mishap Kunz gets credit for a victory, although he in no wise deserved it. KunZ was no match for the local pride, only the formers super human recuperating powers enabling him to last that me- morable sixth round. In this session Brown met Kunz clean on the jaw with left hand smash. Kunz seeled back flat on his back. No one had any idea that heW ould get up. At Referee Fitzgerald's count of seven, however, Kunz reeled over and got his footing. He got up at the count of nine and rushed into a clinch. Brown broke away and smashed Kunz again. kunz took nine second count and manag- ed to last the round out by continued holding. It was stormy session for the down-state lad.

Oped.
 Since the close of the season num- Der of we'll known players have been transforming throughout the country. They imperil their athletic careers on poor grounds for scant remuneration. As they finance their trips, they travel in poor style and patroniZe cheap ho- tels. Their athletic life, outside the big show, is not one calculated, to ed fly the fair name of major league baseball.
 Many of these same players after they finish hippodroming through the sticks, will retire into lazy confinement through the, winter, to report hog fat next spring to their managers. Yet it would be difficult indeed to point out to these players wherein such action could be in any sense construed as an injustice to an employeE
 Barney Dreyfuss, the Pittsburgh radical, who is out to reform the Na- tfonal Commission, once proposed a scheme that the league might have done well to consider more favorably. He advocated that the present form of contract be dispensed with and that in it's stead one be drawn that puts players under pay, and conse- quently under obligation to their en- ployers, all the year around, instead of for only six months, as at present
 This is a suggestion which is likely to meet with really serious considera- tion before the beginning of another season. In the first place, it should be a great boon to the improvident athlete.
 Perhaps something of the nature is in the wind, for as yet none of the owners in either major league has made any attempt to renew contracts which expired with the season past Contracts covering F months, instead of the customary six, would leave players subject to discipline through out the off season as we'll as during the heal campaign.
 Such a reform would be a boon to the club owner, but it also would be quite as great benefit to the sincere player, and would mean winter meal ticket for the improvident one.

San Francisco, Noe. 7-Charley Swain and Tommy Sheehan have se- lected thirteen men who will make the trip to the Hawaiian Islands this winter. Most of the players are Cali fornia boys who were in the big show last year, the rest being made up of Coast leaguers who have already been signed or are good enough to go up.
 The trip will spread over a period of six weeks, and games will be play ed with the crack 25th infantry, the Chinese All-Stars and other smaller teams. Charley Swain will handle all the affairs of the trip. The club se- lected by the two players looks to be about the best lot of youngsters that have ever been taken to the land of the ukelele
 The team will line up as follows:
 Catchers-Rowdy Elliott (Cubs) and Oscar Stanage (Detroit Tigers).

MURRAY LIKELY TO
 RUN HARVARD LIAM AGAINST PRINCETON

Cambridge, Nov 7-The Harvard football team showed lot of life in the first practice of the week yester- day. The regulars were together again and began hard work in pre- paration for the Princeton game on Saturday. Contrary to the usual GUS tom, the coaches scrimmaged the men, using the varsity against the substi- tutea
 Capt Dadmun returned to the line- up and again was between Harris and Wheeler. Clark, who played in Dad nuns place last week, was sent back to his old position on the right side of the line. He will start against Princeton unless Snow gets back at once, and this seems doubtful.
 The backf1eld was made up cs Casey, Thacher and Minot, the latter being slated to do the bunting in the as Horween, however, but is more ver- satile in the general attack. Billy Murray again was at quarter. It is not yet known whether he will start the Princeton game in place of Rob- inson, but there is at least an even chance that he will do so, as Robinson has had a bad cold since the Cornell game. As there will be no hard work on Friday, only three practice days remain for the big game, and unless Robinson is ready for hard work Mur- ray will be in charge of the team. He did we'll against Virginia, and at no time this year has been far behind Robinson for the regular place.
 Moseley Taylor, who played in the 1915 Princeton game and later was substitute centre and guard for the Yale game, in which he finally played, did some of the scrimmage work. E. He was badly used up in the Tufts game four weeks ago, and has suffered several slight injuries since that time. Now he appears to be right for work, and while there is some doubt of his playing against Princeton, he is being headed for the Yale game.

C0LGATE'S COACH
 SAYS YALE TEAM
 NOT VERY STRONG

New Haven, Nov. 7-Coach Bankart of the Colgate eleven does not consid- CT Yale strong team. Commenting on Yale's play against Colgate he says:
 This years Yale team is not such wonderful eleven. In fact, it is not as good an eleven as that of two years ago, which defeated Colgate by a close score. My team had the Ellis on the run throughout the game and had Gillo, the big fullback, been in good physical condition, I believe we would have won. Gillo played with a bad knee and hobbled around while he was in harness.
 Had Colgateta back of the type of Casey of Harvard, who I understand, is able to sidestep and dodge with amazing skill, we would have had a touchdown, The Yale line is not very aggressive, and only Capt. Black and Gait, the latter while he was in there, played low. Our backs slid

CLINTON STAR OF
 RIBBONS WHO PUT JERSEY CITY DOW N
(By Wagner.)

When the Interstate league manag- sign players to different teams every manager passed up Jimmy Clinton. He belonged to Paterson, N. J., which was in the league last year. Manager Leavy of the Blue Ribbons didn't be- ieve Clinton was through and decided to have the veteran return to this city for another campaign. Clinton knocked his critics off the seats by giving a dazzling exhibition last night. : He led both teams in scoring g by getting eight baskets and one foul goal. His work aided the Ribbons greatly in downing JerseN City by 35 to 21. It was the first league contest of the season here and fine crowd turned out.
 Both teams showed lack of practice, as might. be expected at the beginning of the season. There were many flashes of individual brilliance, how ever, which kept the fans cheering. Even without Beckman the Ribbons appear to have a stronger team than last season. Murray is a heady guard, although he must take off con- siderable weight before he gets into his best playing form. Stretch Har- vey at center also displayed lots of life.
 Beckman wired at the fast minute that he was detained on business in New York and could not come here. White, who will be the Ribbons sixth man this season, was rushed into the fray and gave a good account of him. self He is a boy from Mt. Vernon N. Y., who. has been starring with i'm dependent teams.
 Jersey City has several stars, in- cluding Lee Malone and Reich. When they get their passing game perfected the Skeeters will be dangerous. They were unable to do much with the Rib- bons in the first half, which ended with the score 24 to 10 in favor of the locals. The visitors did better in the last session but couldn't catch the Ribbons. The score:

YOUNG RECTOR IS ABOUT READY FOR
 M'AuLIFFE BOUT

roung Rector, the New York boxer, who is to meet Young McAuliffe in the star bout of the East End A. c. show at the Casino next Friday night, appears to be annoyed at McAuliffe, if one is to judge by the following letter sent out by Rector's manager:
 New that the coming match be- tween Young McAuliffe and Young Rector is assured, through me sending an extra $50 to allay the fears of Mac that Rector will weigh in under the required 126 at 3 o'clock, I wish to state that it will be a great relief to mo when I see McAuliffe climb un- der the ropes next Friday night, as this has been the hardest match I amount of perseverance on my part, another match with Rector.
 eff this fight is as good as I think it will be, then the fans are in for real treat, and I can assure you that they and Mac may be able to testify to this after the battle. A delegation of New York and Jersey fans are going to Bridgeport next Fri day to witness the scrap and also will bring along the family jewels to wager on the Skeeter bringing home the bacon
 Rector will finish up his training at the Acorn A. c. next Thursday, and even now is only a pound over the required weight. which ought to bring him into the ring srrong at 1S6."
 The semi-final of 10 rounds prom ises to be exciting. Frankie Conifrey, who has battled some of the best boys :, in the East, will mingle with Charlie Pitts of Australia. The latter got a draw with Jimmy Fasane in New Ha- ven last night. Red Allen of this city will clash with Kid Carter of Stam- ford in the 10-round preliminary.

It was stated that the Portland and Lynn clU os are also on the market and that Lynn interests are now dickering with Eugene B. Fisher for the purchase of the club.

 All this talk about prosperity must be true for there has been some talk of people paying real money for base ball franchises in Lawrence anad Lynn.
 The proposed bout between John- ny Dundee and Phil Bloom, scheduled for New Haven, Nov. 23, has been called off Dundee didn't want to go over ten rounds and the promoters held out for 12. Why didn't they get Bloom to agree to take one on the chin before the tenth round?

 It is said that Yale will drop either Washington & Jefferson or Colgate from the football schedule next season. It is felt that Yale's schedule at present has too many hard games. In view of Coach Bank hart's interview in which he is quot ed as saying Yale doesn't look very strong, perhaps Colgate will be the one. to be dropped by the Blue man agement.

LeGore punted better than he did the week before, and while Yale is pointing toward Princeton and Har- yard, the latter more so. than the Princeton game, much trouble may be expected from Brown next Satur- day"
 Bankart has during his several years at Colgate given Yale lot of trouble twice beating the Blue and two other times losing by close scores.

Toledo, Nov. 7-Freddie Welsh will accept boxing bout with Johnny Kilbane only on his own terms, ac- cording to a message received yester- day by local promoters from Welshs manager. The communication was in response to an offer made by the club for a 12-round no-decision bout between the two champions.
 The lightweight champion accepted the offer of 10000, but his demand is that the weight shall be 135 pounds at 2 o'clock the afternoon of the bout Kilbane is said to insist on articles of agreement calling for 133 pounds ringside, the legitimate lightweight limit.

NO BROWN REDUCTION

There will be no popular price sale for the Yale-Brown game next Sat urday. The matter was discussed at a meeting of the Yale executive com mittee last night and it was decided to make no reduction in prices. Mem- bers of the committee said they were anxious to cater to the public in every way possible but found they could not act favorably on the suggestion made by Jerry Holmes of this city.
 It was stated that a large number of tickets have been printed and al- ready sold for $1 so it would not be fair to sell seats later for 50 cents The Brown management also had to be considered. This is the biggest game on Browns schedule and the Provi- dence collegians depend upon it for the greater part of their revenue. The committee figured it would be an in- justice to reduce the price, and there by deprive Brown of a large sum. Perhaps if the popular price move ment had started earlier it might have succeeded.
