WINCHESTERS NOT ! TO DROP OUTSIDE
 MEN FROM TEAM

New Haven, Oct. 25-At meeting of the managers of New Haven's rep resentative football elevens last night the Winchesters and Humphreys an- nounced their decision not to partici- pate in the elimination series for the city championship. Managers Cooper and Lynch argued that it would be in- advisable for them to wreck their teams in favor of aggregations com rised solely of local talent which would have to come under the eligi- bility rules passed at recent meet ing. Both the Winchester and Humphrey teams have stars included in their lineup who have resided here for a shorter time than the required three months.
 As a result of the action of the Winchester and Humphrey teams, the Annex and Williams will play game the winner to tackle the Washington Glees on Thanksgiving day for the city championship. No date has been set as yet for the Annex-Williams struggle.

best workout they yet have had. It doesn't do a major league team any good by fooltng around playing school, college, mi-professional or bush league aggregations. I think it event. ually will be so arranged that most of the major league teams will put on their finishing touches by working North in pairs.
 That's the only way for a team to get in the pink for the opening of the major league season. When playing bush league aggregations it's hard to stop the boys from slumping off and playing poor ball. Stick two major league teams together and each outfit has to play real baseball"
 From Detroit last night it was an- nounced that Hughie Jennings was of the same opinion as Uncle Robbie. Hughie declared that the exhibition games played with the Giants last spring did the Tigers more good than all the work done at the Waxahachie training camp. Jennings long has been in favor of shortening the stay at the training camp and then hardening his men with preseason series of games with other major league clubs

Following the story that the Giants and Detroit squads will have a spring exhibition series starting at Dallas, Tex, and ending at Kansas City, 1t is announced that the New York Ameri- cans and the Boston Braves have fol- lowed suit, and about the last of March will leave their training camps at Macon, Ga., and Miami. Fla, re- spectively, for a trip along the road together. The Tanks and the Braves will work north in company and play exhibition games under the auspices of the various boards of trade in towns and cities in Alabama, Georgia and in the Carolinas. ss
 In all probability other clubs in the National and American leagues will take up with the idea, which is a good one and which should result in the tea ms arriving North at a better edge than after training with bush leaguers.

DOWNFALL OF JOE
 WOOD TRAGEDY IN
 BASEBALL HISTORY

One of the tragedies of baseball is the passing from the Hmelights glare of Smoky Joe" Wood. The rival of Johnson for the American league twirling honors a few years ago, he has now passed into the discard. Wood was born in Kansas City 27 years ago to-day, Oct. 25. 1889, and is about two years younger than Wal ter Johnson. In 1912 Smoky Joe" performed the phenomenal feat of winning 34 victories out of 39 games. and then twirled two victorious games in the worlds series.
 It was a pitching duel at Hot Springs. Ark. the following spring that ruined Joe's career. The Red Sox-~were pitted against the Pirates in a workout game. Hendrix was in the box for the Buccaneers, and he displayed lot of stuff, flaming sev- eral of the worlds champions. Smoky Joe" was not to be outdone, and he put everything he had on the pellet. The Red Sox finally won to 4. The next day Wood was unable to lift his fiinging arm higher than the height of his shoulder. Both Wood and Hendrix had bad years, and in both cases the lack of form was probably due to that twirling duel in Hot Springs.
 That indiscretfon of Woods was re- sponsible for quite an upheaval in the baseball world. Joe's inability to win games in 1913, with the conse- quent slumping of the Red Sox, start ed a rookus which brought about the dispissal of J. Garland Stahl as man. ager and the appointment of Bill Carrigan to the job. It also led to the strife which made it necessary for James R. McAleer, president of the Boston club, to dispose of his inter- ests and pass in his checks as a mag. mate. Robert McRoy, vice-president of the Cleveland club this year. also lost his job as secretary of the Red Sox.

PH TEAMS NOT z: !. SHOWING MUCH IN 'F0OTBALL NOVELTY

Il New York, Oct. 25-Although the 1 so-called "major" elevens have pounded the halfway mark and are plunging headlong into the more i'm portant stages of their campaign, the gridiron season has so far failed to develop anything in the nature of a really new play. Various teams have erperimented more or less freely with a variety of shifts and forward or lat eral passes. but for the most part they have been notifications, most of them following closely along the lines of the models they were patterned af- ter, plays that were developed at Yale
 and Harvard in other years.
 The only new" plays that have ex- cited any serious comment in expert circles were the maneuvers with
 which Tufts encompassed the defeat of Harvard on Oct. ', and with which
 the Medford boys tried vainly to be- wilder Princeton a week later. The
 Tufts shift and the passing game em- : ployed by the same team received no l end of publicity after the Crimson
 had been humbled, and were acclaim
 ed in some quarters as brand new de-
 velopments, whereas they were mere | ly adaptations of the once famous Shevlin shift and the aerial game that was so popular at Yale during the
 first year of the Hinckey regime. l But if the first half of the season
 has been singularly devoid of any
 thing that could properly be labelled
 as strictly original, there are many good reasons for beliving that the ] second half will be otherwise. AL
 ready Yale and Harvard are indu1ging
 with unwonted freedom in various | "open" formations that are customar- l fly held in reserve until after the first
 of November, and it is not at all like
 ly that they would make such persis- tent use of the forward pass in it's simpler forms if they were not plan ming something of a kindred but vast fly more complicated nature for use
 later on.
 Of the three elevens which are ac- customed to dictating the abiding place of the eastern championship,
 only Princeton has shown tendency
 to cling fast to straightaway run ming game, and this is largely ac-
 counted for in the fact that Speedy"
 Rush is devoting much of his energy
 to building up a defense calculated
 to stop the admittedly powerful of
 fense of the Yale machine under process of construction under Tad
 Joness capable direction.
 In none of their games to date have the Tigers strayed more than few
 uncertain steps from the path of the lstrictly orthodox. Against Tufts the Tigers made few half-hearted stabs at
 forward passing. but the play was so |perfectly obvious that it was. easily '"smeared" by the alert young men
 of the opposition.

HARVARD TO HAVE :. VARIED ATTACK IN
 CORNELL CONTEST

Cambridge, Mass. Oct. 25-The Harvard football team got down to real business yesterday afternoon in it's preparations for it's annual game with Cornell. The Varsity, lining up as it is almost sure to do in the first period against the Ithacans, worked on it's new plays. which bears out the earlier belief that the Crimson intends to have more in the way of attack than for the usual run of midseason games. The coaches kept right after the Varsity, which, while running it's own offense, worked defensively against the scrubs, who were using plays the scouts have seen the Cornel- Hans use this fall.
 Harvard has kept very close tabs on Cornell this season because of last years defeat, but it is believed here that Al Sharpe will have some new methods of attack which he has not allowed his team to use in it's prelim- mary games.
 All the Harvard cripples were on the sidelines watching the Varsity play, except Clark, Sagar. and Bond. The coaches, however, feel that in emergency they will be able to use any player they want with the excep- ton of Bond, whose shoulder is inn proving very slowly. There is now no doubt that Harvard will be consid- erably stronger against Cornell than in any other game, but even so the players are not overconfident that they will be able to wipe out last years defeat. r.
 Head Coach Haughton, however, always is optimistic and the team has made so much progress in the past ten days that a real rally Saturday would not surprise him in the least.
 Snow was Rgain at right guard where he was making such satisfac- tory progress when hurt two weeks ago. Harris continued at centre and Nthe regular backfield, with Robinson at quarter, started the days drill While so many of the former first string men have been hurt, men like Wheeler, Thacher, Horween, and Casey, have made great progress and henceforth it will be a question ot the other men fighting to regain thei1 places rather than being put into the first lineup immediately after they are ready for hard work.

FITCHBURG IN EASTERN.

The visit of President Dan O'Neil to F'itchburg, Mass, yesterday indicates that the Eastern league is very anx- ious to have the Portland franchise transferred to the smaller city for next season. Manager Pat Moran Of the Phillies is native of Fitchburg and it is said he has agreed to let the club have number of young players.
 Hugh Duffy of Portland wants $5,0OO for his franchise. It is said the Fitchburgh promoters are willing to pay $3,000 but balk at going any higher. The situation was discussed yesterday and O'Neil hopes to have compromise agreement reached be- fore next Mondays league meeting in Springfield.
 There is also some talk of keeping Lawrence in the circuit because Lou Pieper has discussed organizing a trolley circuit which would include Lawrence. If the Eastern directors are wise they will let Pieper have Lawrence. The city has been g. f1ivver so far as this league is con- cerned.
 Those who go to the Yale Bowl next Saturday to see Washington & Jefferson play Yale should watch Henry. one of the Pennsylvania teams s tackles. Coach Metzger, the w. & J. coach, says Henry is the best tackle in the east.
 President Tener of the National league is fighting as often as Battling Levinsky. He has Just gone to the mat with President Fultz of the Play ers' Fraternity, who recently claimed the players had a right to make barn. storming tours In all contracts, Tener says, there is a clause which forbids a man playing after the league season closes unless he has the consent of the National commission. Regardless of the merits of this clause it is a fact that the fans are tired of the grasp ing methods of the players. These transforming trips only demonstrate that the players are more interested in the money than in playing the game itself. Tn a contest at Putnam recently Ty Cobb delayed the start of the game while he demanded a bigger guarantee, than he originally agreed to take. By these tactics the players are hurting the occupation by which .hey make a living.

Fort Huachuca, Arizona, August 31. This morning all companies in the Connecticut regiments had company drill, followed by some strateg1cal problems and then a regimental par ado that showed the Nutmeg boys at their best. Later a panoramic picture of the entire assemblage was taken. TomorrOw's work will include com pany drill, a march and a problem in outpost duty. In the afternoon the battalion will be called upon to try further tactics with an imaginary foe. All this morning the machine guns have been popping an incessant tattoo at silhouette targets. The life at camp here seems to have developed into a daily routine that keeps the men so occupied that none of the boys have any chance to get personal mention. Captain Ladbury has been taking life easy for the past twenty four hours, a vacation made necessary by another dose of "bing." Several of the men have had to again be vac cinated against typhoid.

CONDEMNS 15 COWS
Report of Slaughter Inspector Spurs Health Board to Renewed Effort for Construction of Abattoir

That a municipal slaughter house
 is needed in this city and that plans for such structure shall be pre- pared at once was an important de- cision reached by the health board last night. The board was largely in iluenced in this decision by the month ly report of Slaughter Inspector Charles R. Witte, who reported that 150 head of stock, chiefly cattle, were slaughtered here in the past four weeks. Dr. Witte condemned either wholly or in part the carcasses of fifteen animals. That the present slaughter houses are wholly in adequate and unfit for the purpose for which they are being used is the con- clusion of the health board. A com mittee of three composed of Chairman H. s. Tallard and Commissioners Burns and Davenport was named to secure plans for the slaughter house.
 Tho animals slaughtered during the past month under municipal insDec- ton included bulls, 54 cows, 7 steers, 20 heifers, 16 pigs and 48| calves
