RED, SOX AND ROBINS AGAIN.
Series of Exhibition Games in South
 Planned by FraZee.

Boston, Dec. s.-The world cham pion Boston Americans and the Brooklyn team, champions of the National League, probably will renew their baseball struggles of last Octo- Der in an exhibition series of games in the south next spring. Harry Frazee, the new president of the Bos- ton club, said last night that Presi- dent Ebbets of the Brooklyn club favored the idea, and had already partly made arrangements to trans fer the Brooklyn training camp from Daytona, Fla, to Hot Springs Ark, where the Red Sox will prepare. The tour has the approval of President Johnson of the American League. &C., ,cording to MT. Frazee.
 F'razee and Hugh Ward, the Red Sox owners, came here last nieht for the first time since they purchased the team from Joseph J. Lannin several weeks ago. Lannin will meet them today to complete the details of the sale. Most important of the prob lems confronting the owners vii, be the engagement of a manager for the team. President Frazee said that e. strong effort would be made to induce William F. Carrigan to return a.. leader for at least another year.

PICKING SOFT ONES.
Lehigh and w. and J. to Be Dropped
 From Football Program.

New Haven, Dec. 8.-Yale's football schedule for next fall will be changed in two respects, 1t seems assured. Le- high and Washington and Jefferson will be dropped because of Yale's de- termination to frame lighter playing list of games for next season. Pres ent plans are to give either Amherst or Williams game in place of Le- high and, to install the University of North Carolina in place of Washing ton and Jefferson.
 Yale has played Amherst annually until within few years. and that col lege is slightly favored over Williams for the open date. Tho University of North Carolina was recommended hv Dr. Arthur Brides, the Yale line cos oh who formerly coached there. It was stated last night unofficially that there is no prospect of a game being ar ranged with the University of Penn sylvania.

sF'OIweI Putting Finishing Touches on
 Penn Eleven for Oregon Game.

Philadelphia, Dec. 8.-The football season has gone to sleep in the east except at Franklin Field where Bob Folwell is drilling his clan for their biggest battle of the season, the game with Oregon at Pasadena, Cal, on New Years Day, and the big news in the Red and Blue camp is that Howard Berry, the miracle man, is going to play on the Pacific coast
 Penn is training just as hard as if the season was just starting, but in a Folweu way and under the Folwell system, which means that the gates are open to strangers at all times and that there is scrimmage only once a week. The exact Penn machine that slew in order Lafayette, West Vir- ginia, Wesleyan, Michigan and Cornell will go into action against the great lInbeaten Oregon eleven. >ff

BLACKS ACTION A
 COMMENDABLE ONE
Cupid Feared Reelection Would
 Be Regarded As Tradition

New Haven, Dec. 8.-"Cupid" Black could have had the captaincy of the Yale football team for another year, but out of what he declared to be re- gard for Eli tradition he was prompt ed to decline and give Art Gates a chance. It is extremely difficult to see wherein Black would have violated a tradition in acepting a second term, for examination of Yale records proves that the Blue has had four double term leaders.
 Among the two captains were such celebrities as Walter Camp and Frank Hinkey. The first double termer was IF. V. Barker in 1876 and 1877. In 1878 and the following season Camp led the Blue, while in 1882 and 1883 R. Tompkins was the captain. Hink- ey piloted Yale in 1893 and 1894. Hinkey led his men to victory over Princeton both years, and while Yale lost to Princeton in 1893, to o, 1t defeated the Tigers in Hinkey'S Sec- ond year of leadership by 24 to 0.
 Tn view of these facts we are still looking for the tradition which Black feared to violate. However, it was ex- treme1y thoughtful and sportsmanlike flor Black to have held the view he did He will be eligible next season, and while he will not be the captain he will still have a chance to exert the influence for good which was so big a factor in Yale's success, especial fly at Princeton this year.
 Gates should make a first class leader, a captain of rank that should be in keeping with his calibre as player. Gates was a remarkable tao lSIe this year for the reason that he had been converted from an end and possessed the qualities of good per- formers in each speciality.

For the opener the @Hum- phreys of New Haven comprising the pick of the Elm City will meet the locals next Sunday afternoon at 2:3O o'clock at F'raternal field.
 On the following Sunday what should prove to be the de luxe foot ball game of the season in this sec tion of the state will be staged, when the Remington Arms eleven of Bridgeport will be the opposing team. There IS no team paying the game In Connecticut that carries more pres tige than the Park City aggregation, and victory for the locals will be added to their laurels considerably. One of the stars of the visiting team is Stingle, a former local resident and a product of local football training. Stingle prior to taking up his resi- dence in Bridgeport, was a member of the Nutmegs, and was considered the best football player in the city. His friends will no doubt be out en masse to watch him perform.

JackSOn'S Place

Jackson may not be the greatest ball player in the game. but his nJace as a Son of Swat in the Order of tha Batting Eye is fixed. It is 8 rare occasion when Jackson fails to pro- duce zoo or more hits a season. And when you figure the number of men who nave accumulated 200 hits in one campaign for the last ten years Jack sons batting ability will be better un- derstood.
 The Greenville Siege Gun has now been in the upper row for six years. In three of these he has gathered in over 200 hits, and in five of his six seasons he has ranged above .34O
 Over the full distance Jackson runs next to Cobb,- with Speaker and Col lins in a grapple for third place.
