New Haven, Nov. 14.-In view of
the defeat of the Yale eleven by
Brown last Saturday, Harvard now
thinks itself reasonably sure of an
other victory over the blue. How
ever, 1T should reflect on what might
have happened if Brown and not
Princeton had faced the crimson Nov
H.. The impression exists in we'll
informed football circles that Brown
would have whipped Harvard The
game was just such a test in which a
fine runner like Pollard or Legore
would have enjoyed a carnival.
On the eve Of its two big tests Yale
certainly is in a bad fix. 1t expected
a lot of trouble from Brown, which
many leading scouts rate the best
team in the east. However, the Yale
board of strategy looked for a hard
earned victory for the blue. Evident
ly it reckoned without Pollard, who is
second only to Billy Moore among
speedsters of the gridiron.

Syracuse in Shape.

Syracuse, Nov. 14.-The Syracuse
football squad came out of the car
nival with Susquehanna in fine con-
dition. The light Pennsylvania eleven
was no match even for the second
and third stringers of Bill Hallen-
backs squad and the locals are in
fairly good fettle to begin prepara-
tons for the biggest contest of the
season. the annual game with Colgate.
Syracuse scouts saw Colgate play
Rochester and allow the Rochester
team a touchdown. but there is an
impression that Colgate did not exert
itself unduly. to stop Rochester.

STAR BOUT FIZZLES
Young Fulton Proves That He Is a
Bad Speculation For Conn. Boxing
Fromoters-Brindisi Beaten.

Meriden Nov. 14-Young Fulton of
New York proved to. the entire salts
faction of about 1900 fight fans that
bringing him to Connecticut to meet
rivals is a bad speculation, and it is
probable that Meriden and other cities
where pugilism is permitted has seen
the last of this one time favorite
Billed to meet Harry Condor of
! Brooklyn in the star bout last eve
ming, Fulton made a sorry showing
and at the end of the tenth round
Referee Fitzgerald stopped the fray
! and awarded the decision to Con-
| don. This was a humanitarian act,
for although it was said that Fulton
was able to continue, it was a grue-
some spectacle to watch Condor bat
ter him from pillar to post and at
times the features Of Fulton were I'M
recogniza BILE on account of the pro-
fuse flow of gore from a bad wound
! over his left eye. On a previous oc-
casion Fulton was ruled out of the
ring for foul fighting, and it appeared
as If he intended to lost last nights
battle by the same route. Twice in
the sixth round he hit his opponent
very low and amid the jeers of the
crowd Referee Fitzgerald warned
him. SO bad did Fulton become that
: Mike Doran a member of the Lenox
A. G. stepped into his corner and
warned him that if his actions con-
tinued no money would be forthcom-
ing.
+I,o
| Meriden tried his level best to make
the affair satisfactory but the other
fellow simply refused to fight, except
when like a rat he was cornered
When the bout was stopped no one
seemed displeased as it was too one
sided to be interesting and fears that
something might happen that would
! injure the game in the Silver City
! tended to allay any resentment.
The feature battle of the evening
was between Chick Mccormack OF
| Hartford and Frank Brindisi of New
| Haven and was won by the Capitol
| City boy on points, his knowledge Of
the game overshadowing the willing
ness of his opponent to mix it up.
Prior to the mill it was announced
that "Semky" Waltz would like to
meet the winner. Can you imagine a
champ" Issuing challenges or what
would happen if either Brindisi or
Mccormack takes this fellow serious.
The smile worn by Jimmy Welton
Of Meriden in all of his previous ap-
pearances in the ring, faded away
last evening when he encountered
Jack Flynn of Middletown. The Wis
itor, while unacquainted with many of
the tricks of the padded circle game,
was able to connect very frequently
on his much lighter opponent, and at
the end of the fray, it looked like a
draw.

new ruling MAY
BREAK FRATERNITY
Players Apt to Get Monthly Pay
ments, Twelve Months in Year

1t is said that the death blow to
Fraternity encroachment will be
struck with a proposed change in cQn-
tract form. At present baseball play
ers are under contract in the most
strict Interpretation of the sense of
the word, for but six months of the
year. During that time only, in semi
monthly instruments, do they receive
their salaries in full. 1t has been pro-
posed to change this system in at least
so far as the major leagues are con-
cerned
The idea is a form of contract thot
will continue in operation through
out the twelve months Of the year. 1t
is believed that such contractural
terms would tend to closer business
interests mutually. Players would be
answerable for their athletic life dur
ing the off season.
Certain it is that the minor league
problem of today calls for certain tSr-
ritorial adjustments. Last season
was rather Improbable one for the
little fellows. Many of the leagues
of humble classification were forced
to disband. A few of those highly
rated had a hard struggle to complete
their seasons. The chief problem for
re- organization, of course, is to util-
ize the fertile territory while ecopo-
MIXING 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 re-
suit of the death of the Federal league
This unexpected twist came after
the major leagues had loaded up for
1915 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.

The Law Of the Wild

The Yak cant whip the Elephant
Along the jungle way;
The Digdig doesn't like to hold
The Buffalo at bay;
The Leopard is a husky beast
Along the wild divide,
And yet he rarely sinks his teeth
In a GOrilla's hide;
The Zebra, when he meets the Lion
Is set against the squa1;
But the Tiger finds the Bulldog is
The toughest dish of all.
The Tiger has a noble swipe
In either regal hoof;
He's not the type of animal
A stranger likes to spool;
And most of those in JungleVille,
From Elephant to Toad,
Will give him all the right of way
He needs along the road;
Not even Lions or Rhinos drive
The Tiger to the wall,
But he finds the bally Bulldog
Is the toughest of 'em all.

Trying to Stop FumbIing.

Princeton, n. J., Nov. 14-"Speedy"
Rush gave all the Princeton football
Regulars who played in the Harvard
game a rest yesterday afternoon and
turned his attention to a brisk scrim-
mage between the second varsity and
the scrub teams
Two old Princeton stars, HOBBY
Baker and Eddie Hart, were given
charge of the scrub team and they
instilled enough life into the men to
enable them to walk right over the
second varsity. Latrobe at tackle
and Gillespie at end were in the
scrimmage and their work was
feature.
Ames and Eddy had a drill in re-
ceiving punts and Winnie and Funk
were running down under kicks
Rush is endeavoring to eliminate the
most glazing faults of Saturdays con-
test and fumbling kicks was probably
the most noticeable. In order to en-
ter the Yale game on an equal foot
ingNwith the Blue the Tigers must be
able to handle LeGore's punts fault
lessly.
With an inferior offence Rush's
men cannot afford to lose a lot Of
ground by fumbling. Halsey, who re-
placed McGraw at tackle Saturday,
played brilliantly and in consequence
there will be a stiff fight for that
position this week, with McGraw, La
trobe and Halsey as chief contenders
and Kaufman as a strong possibility.
Latrobe had the call for this position
early in the season, but an injury put
him out of the running for several
weeks.

The Last Upset,

Princeton last season should have
beaten Yale at least Is to 0. The
Tiger then was beyond debate, Is
points better than his Bulldog rival.
But for all that, Yale won again.
Princeton can generally be counted
upon to give the best she has against
Harvard
But when Yale comes along, every
thing seems to happen in a lump Last
fall it was a matter Of eight Tiger
fumbles, that cost over 400 yards.
more ground than both teams were
able to gain by rushing.
But if it hasn't been one thing, 1t
has generally been another. And
whatever happened as a rule has al
ways found Yale on top.
Once within twelve years has
Princeton upset the dope, and this
time it was Yale who made the. de-
cisive tumble.
The Next Test
No one has realized more than Rush
the bad psychology that follows
Princeton into her Yale games.
The Tiger coach realized last year
that his men, not through any lack of
courage of determination, were look
ing for something to happen that
looking for the worst because, know
the worst had always broken in the
past.
With too many Princeton teams
playing Yale it hasn't been a matter
of speed, power, courage or skill, but
Fate.
And it is poor psychology to enter a
battle wondering just where Fate will
decide to break up the game
Knowing all this, Rush has been
working hard to eXterminate the
germs of such a psychology.
He has been working hard to change
Princeton's mental attitude toward
his Yale game, and he believes that
he has succeeded.
Princeton's Chance.
Despite an unfavora BILE psychology,
which Rush may have eliminated by
new, we look for Princeton to be at
her best in this coming game
If Yale wins, which Yale may do, it
,, will be because she had better eleven
not because Princeton cracked
Rush has brought his eleven along
at a much slower clip, and instead Of
, being at the crest against Harvard
facing down hill, it should be at it's
best for this final game.
Up to the Tiger Now.
There is more at stake for Prince
ton in this game than there is for
Yale. Yale has the memory of only
one Princeton defeat in over a foot
ball decade; whereas Princeton has
the memory of one victory. Some
ting more-Princeton has the closer
memory of last year to erase-the
toughest defeat in Nassau annals.
The bitter memory of that contest
still fingers with Princeton camp
followers, who went to New Haven
looking for a romp.
Most of the men who faced Yale in
that Nassau disaster are back this
fall So they still have a chance,
against a much better Yale team, to
make partial restitution to the panied
recollections of those who have not
vet been able to forget that Blue
carnival.

In August heat IS at its worst;
the sun roasts on, with zeal ac-
curst; all brown and wilted in
the grass, the sky like a sheet of
brass. Oh, August always hits
me hard, for l am we'll equipped
with lard; l scored two hundred
in the shade, when last l had my
person weighed. And as sizzle
in the warmth, l wish l had a
slender form. My neighbor,
Wilkins, has no fat; he's lean and
timber as a cat, and in the burn
ing August days, serene and cool
he goes his ways; no wllted COL
lar on his neck, he likes to see
the heat on deck. He doesn't
have to mop a brow that drizzles
sweat, as do know. l envy
him his lanky shape, but from
my fat there's no escape. And,
as envy, comes a thought with
hope and consolation fraught.
Full soon the wintry winds of
ice and snow, and then, while
freezing Wilkins shakes. the fat
man who in August bakes, will
calmly view the bitter storm, by
his own store of grease kept
warm. Thus things are balanc-
ed on this earth, and, reconciled
to ample girth. l tell the sun to
go ahead, and paint the solar
system red.

ties open to them for growing
cantaloupes and peaches for the
Northern markets. He has been
at Laurinburg. Raeford, Ridge
way and other places IN eastern
North Carolina during the sea-
son just closing aiding the grow
-ers in shipping their products,
and he has a lot of convincing
facts about what these people
are doing. He says he has ship
ped thirty-four thousand crates
from Ridgeway this season. and
that the price ranged from four
dollars a crate at the beginning
OF the season to two dollars to.
ward the close. He estimates
that from one hundred and fifty
to three hundred crates are
grown on an acre at about the
same cost as a crop of cotton.
The express is about fifty-six
cents a crate and the crates cost
about eight cents. Where a suf-
flcient number of farmers grow
cantaloupes the express compa-
ny places man to aid in find
ing the best markets and in ship
ping. Mr.. Poyner says canta-
loupes can be grown earlier here
than where he has been, and
that the early melon commands
the fancy price.
Canteloupes are a mid-sum-
mer money crop, and ii is said
the demand is unlimited. A
good many farmers are interest.
ed, and more cantaloupes will
probably be grown in this sec
ton next year than have ever
been grown In the county.

THE COUNTY CAMP IGN

The first week of the Chester
field county campaign closed at
McBee Saturday, and this week
there are no meetings except the
special one arranged by the
people of Catarrh for today.
The next official meeting will
be at Angelus next Monday. and
the campaign will close at Ches-
terfield on the following Satur-
day, three days before the first
primary.
There are thirty-eight' candi-
dates for county officers, and
the meetings usually last about
four hours. The candidates are
allowed but a few minutes each,
and the substance of most of the
speeches is a statement of fitness
for the duties of the office and
a desire for the support of the
voters. In the race fo- superin
tendent of education Messrs.
Rivers and Rouse are exchang-
ing compliments in a manner
that furnishes splendid enter
tainment for the voters. Chief
interest seems to center in the
contest for the sheriff's office by
Messrs. Douglass and Ingram.
The Laney-Odom insurance bill
furnishes material for eloquence
in race for representative. Ia
ken as a whole the campaign
seems to be one of good feeling
between the candidates, and
mud. singing is the exception
rather than the rule.
