CHAIN GO. WINS; ] SAY KOSHER HAS
 QUIT LOCAL TEAM

The American Chain Co. had no Arouble beating the Humphreys of New Haven by IS to o at New1eld park yesterday. The visiting team had some good individual players but had apparently never played together before. The Chain Co. gave clever exhibition despite the fact that they were minus the services of Moshier, who is said to have quit the Chain team because he refused to obey Man ager Healy's orders. Clyde Waters, the new quarterback, ran the Chain team we'll.
 ] The contest was late in starting and the patrons complained loudly. The local management should insist that visiting teams appear on the field at least 30 minutes before game time. And in the future it would be well to begin the contest at 2:3O if the players expect to finish before dark. Umpire Comiskey of New Haven left the field when he couldn't enforce one of his penalties. He claimed Flanagan Of the Chain team struck him and wanted the local captain ruled off the field. The lineup:

HARVARD Pl..sAS TO SEND SUBS
 AGAINST BROWN

Cambridge, Nov. 13-It will be a day or two before the Harvard foot ball players who participated in the Princeton game will be back to cases In the stadium. There were no per manent hurts in the game and liar ward will continue to have its full complement of material in the final drive for the Yale game at New Haven a week from Saturday. i Three players were battered. how Harte received another blow on the head when making his great play or Brown which saved the game for Harvard Dadmun was much batter led and Is due for another rest, while Murray, the quarterback. will need a day or two to get over the hard bumps he received from the Princeton taclxlers.
 1 The coaches will work with the substitutes until the regulars get into trim again, and this drill will be wig Nrous enough. Harvard is likely to Send it's subs against Brown Saturday. Ehis has been done the past few years without losing a game, and the coaches are likely to try the experi- ment again this year, notwithstanding that Brown has been working all fall for th1Nrame at Cambridge, and has just be1ten Yale on three touchdowns. 1 The Harvard varsity team will re- main the same as ftp layed against Ffinceton, in all probability. There is q chance that Taylor later may re- p1ace Harris at centre, but this will mot be decided until Taylor gets into Eaction in the Brown game. Murray eame back splendidly at quarter after Ellis early fumbles, and Robinson, who lis now ready to play, is by no means sure of getting back his place on the first team.
 i Some of the players will be taken to Princeton Saturday to see Yale and the Tigers.

CHANGE IN CONTRACT MAY BREAK PLAYERS FRATERNITY
Magnates Think System of Paying Salaries Every
 Month Will Work Reforms

New York, Nov 13-It is said that the death blow to Fraternity en- croachment will be struck with proposed change in contract form. At present baseball players are under contract, in the most strict interpre- tation of the sense of the word, for but six months of the year. During that time only, in semi-monthly in- stalments do they receive their sal aries in full. It has been proposed to change this system in at least so far as the major leagues and the greater minor leagues are concern ed
 The idea is a form of contract that will continue in operation. through out the twelve months of the year It is believed that such contractural terms would tend to closer business interests mutually. Players would be answerab1e for their athletic life during the off season.
 Certain 1t is that the minor league problem of today calls for certain ter ritoria1 adjustments. Last season was a rather unprofitable one for the little fellows. Many of the leagues
 
 to disband. A few of those highly rated had a hard struggle to complete their seasons. The chief problem for reorganization, of course, is to utilize the fertile territory while economizing on mileage.
 Two distant causes contributed to financial losses in the minor league world in 1916. The chief one was unusually unfavorable weather the first three months of the playing sea- son. .The other was inflated playing values. an afterclap of the late base ball war.
 The chief source of minor league revenue lies in the development and sale of players to clubs of higher rating. The 1916 major league mar ket had already been glutted as a re- suit of the death of the Federal League.
 This unexpected twist came after the major leagues had loaded up for 1916 with the customary wealth from the minor league material. When the players of a near-third league were absorbed by the American and National circuits, there, to make room for the seasoned Federal talent, had to turn back the 1915 fall crop Consequently there was little buying last year.
 Again the larger minor leagues which look to the majors for farmed players found these more expensive than usual. The majors had to rid themselves of a. lot of men who held wartime salaries. Otter they were willing to let these go at a great sacri- fee, but even these easy terms came stiff to the operators who accepted part of tn econtractural burdens, es- pecial1y in view of the business de- pression caused by unfavorable weath- CT.
 To a certain degree the success of major league play depends on the health of the minor league. In small time are developed the great majority of the stars who shine later in the big show. Schooling is absolutely essen- tial to the development of the embryo

KAUFF BATTED
 FOR ONLY .264 OFFICIAL SAYS

New York. Nov 13-Foremost among the National league batsmen stands Hal Chase of Cincinnati, ac- cording to the official statistics com piled by John Heydler, secretary of the league. First place actually is accorded to Walter Hoelke of the Giants, but he competed in only 34 games as against 142 for Chose. which gives the one-time Yankee the right to the honors. In third place on the list isf McCarty of Brooklyn and the Giants. In percentage he is tied with Chase at .339, but his total of games for the two clubs is only eighty.
 Of the others numbered in the first ten there are in order after McCarty, Miller Huggins of St. Louis, who took part in eighteen games; Jake Daubert of Brooklyn, Hinchman of Pittsburgh. Hornsby of St. Louis, Wheat of Brooklyn, Robertson of New York and Long of St. Louis. Robertson is the last of this group to obtain better than 1900, his average being .307. Longs average drops to .293.
 Eleventh on the list stands Hans Wagner of Pittsburgh, this veteran having an average of .287. Then followed in order Zimmerman of Chi cago and New York, Fletcher of New York. Cravath, Whitted, Luderus and Stock of Philadelphia; Burns of New York, Paskert of Philadelphia and Stenge1 of Brooklyn. Thus of the championship Brooklyn team as it stood at the end of the season, there are only three players among the first twenty at the head of the bat ting list New York on the other hand has six.
 Benny Kauff, who early in the sea- son had his heart set upon leading the league in batting, is tumbled way down in the list, so that one has to be quite painstaking to discover him at all. Thirty-sixth is the number he draw, with a batting average of .264. apparently a popular figure, for there are three tied at that mark.

Ryan and Sullivan Fought Their Famous
 Battle 30 Years Ago

It was 30 years ago today that Paddy Ryan, the Tipperary Terror. tried to come back and wrest the pug ilistic honors from John L. Sullivan, but he shared the usual fate of would be come-backs. The rookus was staged in San Francisco, and the burly Bostonian put Paddy to. sleep in the third round. This was nearly five years after the famout bare fist con- test at Mississippi City, in which John l.. took the American heavyweight title from Ryan in nine rounds.
 It was only the American chana- pionship that Sullivan won, however, and he was never worlds champion. Paddy Ryan won the American title by whipping Joe Goss in an s7-round contest pulled off in West Virginia. Ryan was about an inch under six feet in height, and weighed around 200 pounds. He was native of the we'll known T1pperary, but emigrated to America at tender age, and was an ironworker in Troy before he took up the f1stic game. Incidentally, Troy has turned out three American heavy weight champS-John Morrissey, John c. Heenau, and-Ryan.

 Among the backfield stars of this or any other season must be men, toned the name of Pollard, the man who does blackface turn for Brown university The iunbleached American ran over, under and around the Yale tacklers last Saturday after noon. He displayed such skill in running back kicks, recovering fum- bles and in making squirming, dodg- ing runs through the enemy's defense that the crowd cheered him fre- quently.
 When he was taken out in the last period in order to save him for the Harvard contest next Saturday, the audience gave him a remarkable ova- ton while coaches and others on the bench rushed to shake his hand. When he vast aken out in the<last period in order to save him for the Harvard contest next Saturday, tine audience gave him a remarkable ova- ton while coaches and others on the bench rushed to shake his hand. When the final whistle blew the tri- umphant Brown rooters carried Pol lard on their shoulders as the first
  iron.
 It was Pollard who prevented Yale from getting touchdown in the first half. The Brown kicker was so slow in getting the ball away that the effort was blocked. The quick thinking negro picked up the ball be- hind his own line and lodged out to the ten yard mark before he was downed.
 In the third period after Brown had worked the ball into Yale territory by a series of short gains, the African broke through for a 37 yard run, be- ing tackled on the four yard line This put Yale into difficulties for al- though Brown did not score that time, it worked the ball down the field after Yale kicked from behind the goal line. At the opening of the last period Pollard caught a Yale punt and ran through the whole team for a touchdown. Eddie Casey e Harvard please write.
 The result of the game was a damp CT for Yale enthusiasm. In the first half it was the Blue warriors who showed speed and the Brown team looked slow. The Providence play
 
 CTS couldn't get a formation started before it was smeared
 In~the second half it was expected Yale would play safe and hold the lead of to O. Brown started right away to gain, however. The very plays which failed in the first half were good for long gains in the sec ond. Yale appeared demoralized af- ter the first touchdown. It cannot be said that Yale sent a substitute eleven on the field for with two or three exceptions the men who were in tie game will be depended upon to beat Princeton and Harvard Brown must be given credit for having a remarkable eleven. Perhaps Yale was bad only in comparison.
 The result of the Harvard Prince ton contest was not a surprise but the low score was. Princeton's de- fense was as tight as any team in the east has exhibited this season. Casey and Horween of Harvard again prov ed themselves good ground gathers. The big weakness on both sides was

CORNELL ELEVEN POINTED NOW FOR
 GAME WITH PENN

Ithaca, N. Y., Nov. 13-Jubilant over the last-minute victory over Michigan, the Cornell football players nevertheess were made to realize yes- terday that a big improvement in team play is imperative before the Penn game. The coaches, while nat urally gratified over the outcome of Saturdays game, give the credit to Shiverick's kicking. While they think that the team showed better form than the week before, they were dis appointed in the amount of improve ment made, and they regard the team as much back of last years in point of development. Better end playing pleased them, but Cornelps lack of teamwork is causing concern.
 The squad came through the Michi- gan game in good shape, and will now be pointed for the Thanksgiving Day game with Penn. One more homo game is on the schedule-the contest with the Massachusetts Aggies next Saturday.

YALE LINEMEN MUST IMPROVE
 TO BEAT TIGERS

New Haven. Nov. 13-Brown's overwhelming victory over Yale has caused much gloom among Bue ad- herents. Prior to Saturdays unsatis- factory result, the Ellis were looked upon as the greatest team moulded together since Ted Coy's famous eleven. Yale's stock, however, has descended several points below par and there is distinct hunch abroad in the realm that Princeton, in view of it's good showing against Harvard, vii rule favorite when the Tiger and Bulldog go to grips in Palmer Sta dium, Princeton, next Saturday.
 Princeton looks like the better team because Yale appears unable to over come it's cardinal faults-poor gen. eralship, a tendency to tumble and loose line work.
 It is difficult to imagine Blue team with a six-point lead permitting itself to be overtaken and then out distanced by smaller college eleven one week before the annual game with Princeton and two before the Harvard encounter. But that was Yale's misfortune in the game with Brown. After Braden had twice boot ed the oval across the bar for field goals, netting six points. the Ellis stopped short, missed fire in several vital sections and then blew up with a staccato report. After that Brown rallied its forces and swept the Blue host off the gridiron in disorganized retreat.
 Yale was unable to present its strongest front for the contest on ac- count of the permanent disability or Robert Bingham, left halfback, be- cause preliminary symptoms of kid ney trouble had developed and Bing- ham left the squad two weeks ago after diagnosis of his case had been made by New York physicians. But it was not in this position alone that Yale appeared to a disadvantage.
 The Brown game showed plainly that regardless of the glowing ac- counts concerning the material at Yale it is not nearly so gooo' all things considered, as it was in 1914 and 1915. Outside of Black ana Gait, the line gives no evidence of real strength, and showed lack of knoWl- edge of the fundamentals.
 After Braden had twice booted the oval Brown backs wrought havoc with the Bue forward line, Larry Bankhart, the one-time Dartmouth star, who is coaching Colgate, assert ed recently that Yale had supris- ingly weak forward line, and the Brown game bore out this statement The sole encouraging feature from Yale standpoint was the great drop kicking of Braden. He may prove a dangerous factor against Princeton.

Ty Cobbs, Iris Speakers and Eddie
 Collinses. Only in this way, which
 embraces, of course, farming of green
 material of class, are the major
 leagues dependent on the minors. The
 American and National league club
 owners realize that it is to their own
 advantage to help the little fellows all
 they can.
 The operating cost of professional
 baseball has doubled within the last
 i've years. For the last several sea-
 sons it has become more and moro evident that most strict economical
 policies must prevail if the sport is to
 thrive.
 For the sport naturally depends to a great degree on its business possi- bilities. The public cannot expect
 baseball to continue if the promoters are forced to operate at loss. No doubt the meeting in New Orleans will call for better understanding be- tween promoters great and small as to
 ways and means of providing the eco nomical ends.
 Of course, there is one excellent rea- son for major league interest in the
 minor league meeting tside from the several phases explained above The
 major game, as conducted today, en-
 braces no end of detail. Players must be secured from minor leagues, and only the best can be used Other players, not immediately ripe for fast company, must be placed in slower company for the purpose of season. ing.
 The wise major league owners have established affiliations with certain
 minor league clubs. Frank Navin, of Detroit, has effected a profitable alli- ance with teams of several leagues These relations serve him a double purpose. It provides him the best possible adjunct to scouting and it furnishes him an elaborate farm for his extra players.
