Army-Navy Game
Brings a Million
Bucks to Gotham

No better illustration OF the popu-
lariiy OF foot ball need be cited than
the crowds and the amount Of money
spent in attending the Harvard Yale
and Army-Navy games played in New
York and New Haven on the same
day this season. One hundred fifty
three thousand eight hundred dollars
was paid in admission charges to the
Yale bowl and receipts from all
sources, including collection for
charity between halves. totaled $l68,-
719. The actual attendance was close
to 10000. The Army-Navy game,
played less than 100 miles away, drew
about $4,000 spectators, Of whom one
third, in round numbers, paid S. each
for tickets. The aggregate amount.
therefore, ran well over 100000.
This was but small proportion
Of the total amount expended by those
who witnessed the contests. Many
come from distant parts of the coun.
try and railroad fares, hotel accom-
mediation and meals cost sums far in
excess OF the actual amounts paid for
admission to the Yale bowl and the
Polo grounds. 1t has been estimated
that more than 100000 was spent in
New York as a result OF the playing
of the Army-Navy game. 1t is fact,
notwithstanding the great number OF
hotels in and about the city, that
rooms were unavailable at any price
on Friday and Saturday nights and
many parties we're forced to travel
10 points in Jersey and Pennsylvania
for sleeping quarters, Similar con-
ditions, upon a smaller scale, pre-
vailed in New Haven, where, it was
stated, the great foot ball throng left
close to 100000 behind it on payment
for tickets, hotel accommodations,
meals, automobile charges and incl
dental eleventh-hour purchases.

S,r.lcer Now Fixture
In Major League Ball

The reformation OF Tub Spencer,
the burly catche,' of the Detroit team,
was one Of the remarkable incidents
of the last base bali season. Three
years ago Spencer was not only down
and out as a player, but was cut by
some OF his friends.
More stories have been told about
Spencer than have been reeled off
about certain vaudeville monologist
who was talented brass rail per.
former.
Nobody would handle Spencer, and
he finally drifted to California. That
was the making Of him. He changed
his habits and did so we'll that Hugh
Jennings, manager OF the Detroit
team. signed him for the Tigers.
Jennings said that Spencer's whip
was as sound as it was when he
starred for the Browns many years
ago, and that he expected him to be
his hrst-string catcher next season.
According TO the red-haired tacti-
clan, Speneer's reform is permanent,
and he ought to catch first class ball
in the major leagues for several sea-
sons to come.

Hap" Hogan Puts
Good One Over On
Eastern Magnates

Observing that the base ball mag
nuts" were entertained Hospitality in
New Orleans recalls a story about
Hap Hogan, who was always one OF
the moving spirits at such meetings.
The yarn is told by chap who was
present:
1t. was the custom each night for
one OF the visiting delegates to give
little wine party. This particular night
1t was Hogan's treat. Hap invited all
the magnates up to his suite, standing
room being at premium.
In the center OF the room was
large tub filled with cracked ice. Near
by stood colored valet awaiting the
word from Hogan to start the fes-
tivities. 1t was an imposing scene.
The thirsty maenates were smackin'
their lips in anticipation.
Hogan elbowed his way through
the crowd and stood beside the invit-
ing ice. Gentlemen he said, ION
this suspicious occasion it affords me
great pleasure to appear before you as
a representative of the hospitality and
good will of the people of California.
Out in our state when we do things
we do them right We don't buy
wines, we buy wine; the real sparkling
stuff. Now, gentlemen, think we
will proceed"
The waiter started in to brush away
the ice, task which consumed all of
a minutes time. From the bottom
Of the tub he brought up small bot
tie of wine, opened it and poured the
contents into glass held by Hogan
Gentlemen" said Hogan, while
everyone looked askance. Here's to
the greatest wineless wine party that
ever happened; a party where wild
and woody magnate from out OF the
west puts it over on the polished mag
mates from the east. Let 'er 60"
Hap drank the few sips that the
glass contained Will the eastern mag
mates slowly filed out Of the room. 1t

New York, De-. lo.-Permanent
abolition OF the cacher seat, the
2s-cent seat, is forcseen in the action
OF the National league, favorlng a
reduction of the seats in this section
of the base ball grandstand to mini
mum. The club owners arc DESTROYS
OF doing away entirely with the rs
cent seats, it is explained, but in the
cities where they have been fixture
for years, the proposed change will
have to be made graduall". In the
New York and Brooklyn stands the
25-cent seats have already been re-
duced 10 a comparatively small num-
Der
In cities like Philadelphia, St. Louis
and Cincinnati, where there are more
than 5000 OF the cheaper seats, the
price for the majority Of these seats
next season will be raised 10 50
cents, it is stated, and several OF the
club owners assert that in another
year the ascent seats will be abol-
ishcd.
Favored by Club Owners.
Presiden. Ebbe.s OF the Brooklyn
club is father of the movement to
reduce the cheap seats to minimum
and i is strongly favored by all the
club owners. He said that il some.
thing was net doae to increase the
revenue and cut expenses, the bust.
ness of operating base ball clubs
would become losing proposition.
Prior to the adjournment yester.
day the magnate Of the National
league took further action for a cur
tailment Of operating expenses by
recommending a retrenchment in
players salaries.
To Cut Salaries.
The salary list of more than one
Of the National league clubs last sea-
son exceeded 100000 and the prob.
able reduction mag BE- estimated J
the statement OF one club owner that
he expected TO cut his salary list lby
at least one-ffth. ThLse players who
have for the last three years enjoyed
an inflated compensation as a result
of the Federal league war will be hit
The hardest. il was stated.
Changes in the rules governing the
worlds series, as proposed by August
Hermann and President Tenor were
recommended by tbs league, These
include the provision that the players
OF the two teams competing In the
series receive stipulated amount and
that percentage OF the receipts be
divided among the players on the
ilher clubs finishing in tn first divi-
sion Of each league. By this plan, it
was claimed, interest would be slim

After the Plan is didg.l up in def.
i,ile form il will be submitted for APP
proval at a meeting Of the two

Hurler Didn't Know
Runner Was On First

According to report from Boston
Billy Murray is to return to the major
league as travelling secretary, scout, or
something, with the Red Sox, under
the new owners, Frazee, Ward and
Collier, or whoever they may be.
Newspaper scribes who hav: space to

Tor whenever Murray alights IN
town on the big circuit there is sure
to be tanning bee that will furnish
material for many dull day to come.
The Murray stories are so good and
so plentiful that space alone limits
them. Outside Tim Hurst probably
no character in base ball ever had his
name connected with so many.
Murray never was known to crack
smile, so this story will be appre-
ciated if the reader can imagine the
serious mien of the former Philly
manager:

ceeded to call the pitcher
II never saw him, Mr.. Murray: l

pitchers alibi.
Whereupon Murray turned to the
rest of the team on the bench and
said:
IL want you fellows to understand
that ! insist upon team work and we
can't have team work if you fellows
keep these secrets. It's discouraging
to a young pitcher to get this sort
of deal Now the next time rum

it's up to you fellows to tell him. No

FOUR GRID COACHES
SPRING INTO FAME
Robinson, Bankart, Folwell
and Jones Rise from Stygian
Darkness in a Year.
HAVE DIFFERENT SYSTEMS


years, following collapse OF Yale's
once invincible system in 1912, Percy
Haughton was the uncrowned king OF
eastern foot ball, the master coach of
all the territory this side of the Ale
ghanies, and there was none to dis
putc his leadership. The fall Of 1915,
however. found Glenn Warner OF the
unbeated Pittsburgh Panthers, and
DR.. Al Sharpe Of the equally uncon-
quered Comedians, encroaching upon
Pee Dee's preserves, and now, with
the passing of another year, come
four others to contest Haughtons
claim to exclusive rights in the foot,

Colgate and Ned Robinson OF Brown
