Minor Leaguers Seeking
Change in Agreement

New York, Nov. S. - Bent on doing
several things to the National agree
ment, primed with suggestions Of
many sorts, broken in pocketbook but
not In spirit, the minor league base
ball magnates of the country begin
to-day to step into the limelight. They
are on their way to New Orleans,
where week from to-day they will
open their annual meeting.
The minor leagues have been in q
bad way for long time, and many a
push town mogul has been spending
his night without sleep trying to figure
out plan whereby baseball can be
made to pay in the smaller towns of
the country. Nearly every one of
them has planned some sort of a sug-
gestion and the air at New Orleans is
going to be full of them.
New York is entertaining its share

the Louisiana city. Jimmie McTIill

Jack Hendricks,who spent election day
In New York, will become members of

Ed. G. Barrow, president fthe In

Redistricting plans are part of the
rumors flying around regarding possi-
BILE reorganization of the small cir
cults. These reorganizations as plan
ned call for splits in present circuits
that are almost unbelievable. Drastic
measures will be suggested and there
are some magnates who believe at
least part of them will be adopted.
The minors feel they haven't been
getting good treatment and they want
some changes in the National agree
ment. Also, Dave Fultz has a bone to
pick with the magnates, and some new
demands already are in poss ession OF
the National Board for submission al
the New Orleans meeting.
Some of the minors want represen-
tation on the National Commission.

"Over in London they have the right

Not Enough Seats at Yale
For Big Harvard Game

New Haven. Conn. Nov. s. - AL
though the Yale bowl will hold more
seats when the Harvard football eleven
plays here on November rs than ever
before, the Yale football management
admits the impossibility of caring for
the large crowd. The order given by
the committee of 81, which has charge
of the bowl, to build about 1000 more
seats is being carried out, but applica-
tions for tickets from Yale and Har-
ward alumni and undergraduates,
which closed yesterday, cannot be
filled.
In permanent seats the bowl con-
tains exactly 60.617. The additional
seats which have been ordered and
which are being constructed on the
parapet of dirt which, piled up, gives
the bowl its shape and its name, will
bring the seating capacity to about
$1,000 people.
AS there are some 40, 900 alumni of
Harvard and some 10000 graduates of
Yale alive, the Yale management could
do little better than distribute one
ticket to each graduate, If all should
apply for seats. So few really apply
that the Yale management is giving
four to each alumnus, and to each un-
year. 1t will be readily seen from the
above figures that it is impossible for
| the football management to go beyond
the alumni and undergraduates to any
extent in distributing the tickets.
Harvard has already asked Yale for
$4,000 tickets and this amount will be
sent to Cambridge.
When Harvard played here two sea-
sons ago, in the opening game in the
Bowl, about $4,000 people were pres
ent, the 60,617 permanent seats being
the Same as at present, and about the
same number of temporary seats being
| built
Last year when Princeton PLAYED
here the Tiger alumni and undergrad
yates took only 1000 tickets. Yale
sold $4,000 and there were only about
| $1,000 people in the bowl
Applications have already closed for
! tickets to the Yale-P Princeton game in
| Princeton next Saturday week. The
formal applications from Yale for
tickets to that game numbered 1890,
and 1t is now certain that Yale will
take half of the $4,000 tickets for that
game.
This means that the Palmer Stad-
ium will be filled for the game for the
first time.
For the Yale-Harvard game here in
two weeks sixteen special trains will
be run from New York city, four from
Boston and five from Hartford.

.complished. 1t is now understood
that the major league magnates after
settling their, troubles will suggest
changes in minor bodies. This may
affect the New York State League.
The Barrow organization is no longer
a money-maker. Major hackers who
found the Internationals good place
to use as q farm, now find 1t more
profitable to keep in close touch with
the New York State League and other
Class B organizations.
Central high under the direction OF
Coaches Smith and Harris are having
some busy sessions When SteeltonS
faces the local eleven on Saturday IL
will be a new lineup for Central.
While similar to that of last Saturs
day. it is said there will be some
other changes during the game. Martz
showed he was better in his new posi-
ton. and Gregory is looking more like
real star every day.
There Is some talk on having tha
Central and Tech players numbered
for the Thanksgiving day game. This
1t is believed will prove popular
move. If numbers are used they must
be adhered to. When changes are
made announoers should tell the pat
rons so they may follow the changed
line-ups. When used right numbers
are a big help in game from q

BUCKNELL ON SHORT END

Now York, Nov. S.-New York Uni
versity, employing all its cunning and
speed in the third period of it's game
with Bucknell College on Ohio Field,
yesterday swept the battered and
bruised Pennsylvanians into a 13 to 0
defeat. Bucknell presented team
that was shattered in a battle at
Princeton last Saturday. Her ends
were mauled numerically and two
halfbacks were laid low by the Tigers.
Bucknell came out of Princeton with
broken arm and q crushed nose,
with minor intnries to others. 1t was
a beefy team that lined up against
New York, but 1t lacked fighting spirit.
With all her weight in the line Buck
nell had trouble stopping the dashing
attacks of the home eleven.
