Jacob Ruppert, president of the New York American league baseball club, has denied that the club had taken ad- vantage of the disability clausesin the contract of Player Ray Heating, as charged recently by David Fu!tz, pres ident of the Players Fraternity, and had not paid Heating in full.
 Heating, according to a statement made by Ruppert, pitched in nine games during the first two months of the 1918 season.

GREGG GETS $17,ooo
 FOR A HOURS WORK.
Highest Priced Player In the History
 of Baseball.

Who Is the highest paid player in baseball? Ty Cobb? Iris Speaker? It is none other than Vean Gregg, who occasionally, very occasionally, pitches a game for the Red Sox. champions of the world.
 Gregg was wished upon the Red Sox late in 1914 by the Indians, and Vean did little else than nurse his arm for the balance of the year. In 1915 and again last season Gregg was almost useless to his club. The main chores he performed were those of the relief variety. In 1915 he worked to a de- cision in only six games;a this year it was five.
 For performing in il complete com- bats in two years Gregg got his regu- lar salary-reported to be $5,000 sea- son-and two cuts of the worlds series melon. That means approximately $17,000 for working about 20 hours in two years, or $S50 every six minutes If you have tears to shed, this is not the spot.

YALE ANXIOUS FOR
 REVERSAL OF DATES
Present Arrangement With Harvard Football Team Very Unsatisfactory Princeton Joins in Asking Grim. son to Switch on Dates,

Will Yale take advantage of her win over Harvard and make a strike | to get some definite idea of Haryard's s stand on the proposition to have the Crimson play Princeton and the Ellis two years in every three on successive Saturdays.
 As it is now Princeton meets Har- yard and Yale on successive Satur- days: Yale meets Princeton and liar yard on a similar basis, while the Crimson has long had the edge be- cause 1t faces the Ellis two weeks later than 1t does the Tigers. giving Harvard a fortnight to bring players round to form for the objective game with Yale.
 To Demand.
 Harvard's loss to Yale pIaces the latter in a position to demand a re- arrangement of her schedule with some chance of having her kick given consideration. Yale wants this pres sure relieved. of this there is no doubt. She has asked for action before. only to be met with stelid refusal Princeton desires to have her burden frightened also. She stands with Yale on the proposition.
 The Alumni Weekly at Princeton only last week editorially advised that sideration before Harvard and Yale. The Tigers in their anxiety to develop a winner believe that this step would proNe one along the right lines.
 The>e propositions have been put to Harvard by Yale and Princeton be- fore Little attention has been paid to them at Cambridge because the Grim son by virtue of Its yearly wins was in the position to do the dicta.ting.
