never brighter than now for another
successful season
Bill Donovan knows how to han de
his players He Is not one who seeks
the irnelight. He desires to see his
players get all the credit that is due
them. He Is quiet and smooth in
his methods OF leadership. but still
forceful. That he will not stand for
any baoksl.ding on the part OF his
players Is shown by the das.io way
IN which he handled Pitcher Cald-
wells unfortunate case. He was
staurohiy supported by his clubs
owners IN all OF his managerial acts,
That Is the reason why Colonel
RUPERT and Captain Huston are sure
to be successful In their baseball ven
ture IN the future.
Best Type OF Owners.
They have made up their minds TO
have pennart winning team. and
they viii. too. They both love base
hall for the sports sake, are pro-
gressive. liberal and the best tyre Of
owners.
Captain Huston has taken a more
active participation In the clubs af-
fairs than Colonel RUPERT, and. al
though the captain mas bean in base

American League cluh-owner who In
any better versed IN the game than

Is now considered one of the fore
most magnates In his organization.
Captain Huston is thorough buzz
ness man, and his wise counsel IN
American League matters has great
weight with his associates OF the or
gauization. His opinions are eagerly
sought and has sound Judgment ao-
cepted.
There In no more staunch supporter
OF the national game nor one who
works with more conscientious devo-
ton to Its interests and welfare than
he.
The American League was most
fortunate in getting Colonel Rupert
and Captain Huston as mem bers.

New Haven. Nov. 5.--Although the
Yale eleven was roughly handled by
Colgate during the first half OF yes

poor physical condition OF Yale's rush
line, which was responsible for the
gaping holes born by the visitors. will
be improved and that the eleven will
start the Brown game next Saturday
without trace OF the staleness which
was present yesterday.
Fullback and center rush are still

them yesterday and will probably be
assigned one of them permanently to-
morrow.
IL the coaches decide to use Hutch
