RUSH RE-APPOINTED.

Princeton, N. J., Dec. 20.-John Harland Rush has been appointed coach of the Princeton football eleven for 1917. Appointment of assistant coaches was delayed pending further investigation. Rushs two years of coaching have resulted in defeats by Yale and Harvard, but Princeton's S gridiron advisers did not expect inn mediate results of the Rush system however greatly they may have hoped for them. What Rush has done has been to give the Tigers an offensive system, a means of advanc- ing the ball through straight play something that had become a lost art at Nassau While it has to date been expressed more in terms of yards than in touchdowns there Is every feeling that the future-assuming profit is taken of past errors of judgment in several quarters-will show more subtantial results.

MCLEAN WITH REDS.

Cincinnati, Dec. 2O.-Larry Me- Lean, the veteran catcher who in former years added more than one touch of high life to the sequestered existence of Cincinnati, is to come back to the Reds. It was learned today that Manager Mathewson has decided to give the erring knight of the shlnguards an opportunity to make good recently announced re- form. Mclean will go South as coach to the battery candidates of the Red legs, and if he behaves he may even be given an opportunity to break into the game more or less regularly. Long Larry will be provided with job throughout the summer if his be- havior justifies. In case his days of active service have ended he will be assigned to scout duty under Larry Sutton.

EASTERN MOGULS MEAT
Magnates Block Chance of Another Circuit by Paying Fee on Whole Territory.

Worcester Mass, Dec 2O.-The df- rectors of the Eastern baseball league met here this afternoon to give the Lawrence baseball situation another airing. After everything had been said and done, it was decided to let the matter rest for another week Joe Sullivan, whom the league is giving @ chance to sell out his Lawrence franchise, hopes to have his club dis posed of by next Wednesday. Tn view of this the league moguels voted to wait and see how successful Sulli- van will be in his sale proceeding5A
 At the next meeting, which viii take place soon after Sullivan has succeeded or failed in his attempts to sell out to the Spooners next We'd nesday, the lineup of the Eastern league circuit for 1917 will be an nounced.
 It is a matter of extreme interest to note that President Dan O'Neil has paid protection for all Eastern league territory That includes, of course all cities that were in the 1O-club cir cult last year. That includes, on the face of things. the possibility of an- other league in eastern New England based on Eastern. league has-beens It has been suspected in some quar- ters that Lynn, Portland, Lowell aIhd three neighbors would try to interest themselves in a circuit of their own, If there was ever a chance for such a circuit the Eastern league has blocked it by claiming the field it's own with the protection money paid, This is a step in baseball develop ments that should not be overlooked,
 Hugh Duffy again declares he would not be in Portland another season. The fact that FitchburG voted today caused some hopefuls ol that burg to nominate it as a league stop in case the town went wet Duffy has been suggested for Fitch burg and a few. other places. He says he does not know "what is going on." ..-= Those present at the meeting we're: ! Springfield, William E. Carey; New London, H. Eugene McCann; New Haven, James F. Collins; Worcester, M. J.. McMahon and Edward Smith; Lynn, Eugene B. Fraser and Louis Pieper; Portland, Hugh Duffy; Law renee, Joseph Sullivan; Bridgeport, w. -Zeigler, for M, J. Healy.

"DUG" ALLISON DEAD.

Washington, D. C., Dec. 2O.- Douglas Allison. one of the greatest catchers of his day and who will be remembered by old-time fans in Con- necticut as the backstop for the Hart ford teams in 1875 and 1876. dropped dead yesterday afternoon while shovelling snow from in front of his house. Allison first played in this city on the Hartford team of the Na- tional Association of Professional Baseball Players, playing through the last year that this association was in existence.

Plans Of Past Season to Be Dupli-
 Cated But More Extensive

New York, Dec. 20.-Although the majority of the Eastern college foot ball schedules for the season of l91l are still in the making it is evident that intersectional games will be tea- tured to a record extent next autumn The popularity of these contests proved one of the outstanding fea- lures of the past fall and it is cer- tain that they will be duplicated on a larger scale next year. If various rumors and reports have any basis in fact not only will there be more of these intersections games, but the larger and more important colleges of the East, Middle and Far West will appear upon the schedules Of teams many hundred miles removed from their own campus.
 Whatever next seasons play may bring forth in the way of victory or defeat, the Eastern college elevens have no reason to be ashamed of their records made in the intersectional gridiron struggles of last fall. Dur ing the months of October and Mo- Vember Eastern teams participated in IS intersectional games against Southern or Middle Western elevens, winning fifteen, tying two and losing one.
 In six games against the Middle West five were won and one los>, when Michigan nosed out Syracuse by score of IA to IS. In these six contests the Eastern elevens rolled up total of 103 to GA points. Michi- gan was the only team to figure in more than one game, the Wolverines playing three, losing to Pennsylvania and Cornell and winning from Syra- cuse.
 Against the Southern, teams the East did still better. All told twelve games were played, of which ten were won and two tied. West Virginia held Dartmouth to a to score and Rutgers played Washington and Lee a 13 to 13 tie game. The total number of points scored in the in tersectional contests were East, 27O; South 36, making the aggregate for the IS games East, 373; Opponents 100. If the University of Pittsburgh and Georgetown University are con- sidered as Eastern com binations the score can be increased still further while if Georgetown with the South ern institutions it's victory over Dart mouth 10 to gives the South one win in addition to the two ties.

DILLON 0UTBOXED
But Advantage of Billy N1islxe at End of Ten Rounds Is Not Wide-A Great Bout,


 New York, Dec. 2O.-Jack Dillon, the Indianapolis light heavyw weight, generally regarded as the leader of his class, met an unpleasant surprise last night at the Broadway Sporting club in Brooklyn in Billy Miske of St. Paul, and at the conclusion of their ten-round meeting the St. Paul aspir- ant for the heavyweight title had shaded his rival by the slightest pos sible margin. MAske's victory was by no means decisive or convincing, but he nevertheless managed to accumu late enough points in the ten rounds to entitle him to the honors.
 It vas one of the greatest bouts be- tween men of this weight that has ever been staged in the metropolis, and the spacious Broadway club held what was probably it's biggest crowd to date. Dillon, it can safely be said, never tried harder or more earnestly in any of his local bouts but he was at a disadvantage in the matter of height and reach, and these natural assets of Miske's played an important role throughout There were times when he held his smaller opponent at arms length, on the tip of his ex- tended left arm, and made the aggres- sive Dillon miss many of his attempts for the face stomach.
 Miske also showed a wonderful ability for assimilating punishment, for, while he managed to avoid many of Dillon's deadly right and left hand blows for the stomach or jaw, a few of them found their mark as the bout progressed, but they failed to make thy apparent impression on the tall St. Paul boxer. At long range Miske showed to particular advantage, and in many of the frequent exchanges in which the boxers engaged on the ropes and in the center of the ring the St. Paul light heavyweight landed the cleaner and more effective blows, practically beating Dillon at the lat ters own game

The Defense Rules.

Tn baseball at present the defense rules with the pitching 80 per cent. of the defense.
 Take the case of Detroit and Boston in the American league. Detroit made 1870 hits, and scored therefrom 87o runs. +.. ".:
 Boston made 1,25O hits and scored $50 runs.
 Detroit, on the season, made 120 base hits and 120 more runs than Boston. Detroit averaged almost a run to the game above her Eastern rival a margin big enough to have been decisive. But Boston had the pitching and Detroit didn't And. under the present system good pltch- ing is far more valuable than good batting.
 The tigers were far and away stronger on attack, by this margin:
 H R T.B. S.B. BIB. Detroit 1870" e70 1915 190 545 Boston 125O $50 1901 129 465
 You will find from this that the Tigers picked up over 300 bases above the Red Sox, but since defense counts so much more than attack, the Red Sox won.
 The Red Sox lost Iris Speaker all the season and Jack Barry through the stretch But minus their two stars they went on winning through Ruth, Shore, Leonard and Mays.

Leaving any unseemly levity aside, the attack or offense in baseball un- doubtedly needs bracing. Only few ball players now range above .2SO, and the general average is over 30 points lower.
 The batsman who can average one safe blow out of four times up is on a par with the, field at large.
 Base running Is at even lower ebb. Almast any pitcher can keep the fast est sprinter in the league tied to the bag. The enforcement of the balk rule fs a joke; or, the balk rule it. self Is a joke. You'll find the aver age among good base runners isn't one stolen base out of five games. Even Cobb last season, batting over .370, couldn't average a stolen base as often as every other game.

At this snow-bound date last sea- son Hal Chase was not only all in, but he was to be, blockaded from any major league for life. Yet We seem to have an indistinct impression that Hal not only got in a game or two, but he also made two or three base hits before the campaign closed.

Why Indeed? We have grown fat in girth and heart From episodes beyond the sea; And so, for any finer part,
 be?
 Train off this precious flesh of ours Through sacrifice that may not please, The while we dream in sheltered
 bowers
 Or gold corpulence and ease? We have grown fat-what more is
 there To ask from Fortune or from Fate? Has either greater gain to spare Where Time and Destiny await? The long reach and the flashing eye? The speed and strength for future
 strife? Why are these foibles worth a try Where one can live the softer life? "Ideals," you say?-And what are they, I beg of you, but whosts of dreams? Or tell me what per cent. they pay In yellow gold that glints and gleams?
