haps all future contests between these
two elevens will be played in New
York city, according to an announce
ment made here tonight by DR.. Will
lam White, chairman of the UNIVERSE
ty of Pennsylvania, committeeman on
the Army-Navy football game.
New York will be the scene of the
Army and Navy football game next

for stadium with a seating capacity
equal to that of the Polo Grounds the
spectacular contest, which had it's or

TUFTS COLLEGE START
BASEBALL TRAINING
Prospects Bright for Good Nine
Pitching Staff Strong.

The baseball season at Tufts COL
lege has commenced, the battery can
didates reporting in the afternoon for
the first indoor workout in the base
ball cage in Goddard gymnasium. Be-
cause of the first game on the regular
schedule being played earlier than
usual, the candidates were called out
two weeks earlier than last season.
Not for a number of years have the
baseball prospects at Tufts been as
bright as they are this season. With
the championship team of last year
left intact, except for the loss of Ber-
nard j. Lee, last seasons captain, and
a host of second team men and fresh
men to call upon, the squad THAT rep
resents the Brown and Blue this year
should be the strongest ever turned
out by the Medford college.
The pitching staff this year will be
greatly strengthened, as in addition to
the regulars from last season, five new
men reported to Manager Cross. The
main part of the schedule will be
pitched by Ray" Krepps, Walt
Whitaker and Fritz O'Marra, the vet
Grams of last season.
To assist these twirlers, the coach
can rely on White, a second team man
of last year, and also he should be
able to turn out two or three varsity
twirlers from the new material.

the Philadelphia American league base

ager of the Philadelphia American
League team, here tonight in confirm
ing the announcement from New York
that J. Franklin Baker, the home run
hitter and hero of several world S
championship contests, has been sold
to the New York Americans. Baker,
who was here. tonight, also confirmed
the announcement and stated that he
signed a three-year contract with the
New York team here today. Neither
he nor Mr.. Mack would disclose the
amount of Bakers salary nor the pur-
chase price.
Baker in a statement declared that
when he announced his retirement
from baseball a year ago he meant it
and had no idea of returning to the
game in spite of many f1attering offers.
He credited Vernon S. Bradley, of
Cambridge, Md, mutual friend of
Manager Mack and himself, with con-
vincing him that him that he owed it
10 himself, Mr.. Mack and baseball to
return to the game"
He said he feels confident he can
play as good ball as ever and that he
intends giving his best services to his
new manager.
Connie Changes His Mind.
Mack explained his statement by
saying that when he disposed of Eddie
Collins last yer he had no intention of
selling other players.

SATURDAYS SUNDAY GAMES
IN NATIONAL LEAGUE
Every Club Secures IS Saturdays
Equally Divided Between Home and
Abroad.

Baseball schedule experts are al
most unanimous in expressing the
opinion that the National League
schedule, considered as a whole, is one
of the best balanced lists prepared in
years. So far as the allotment of Sat
urday Sunday and holiday dates is
concerned the eight clubs of the or
ganization share evenly. Every club
secures % Saturdays about equally
divided between home and abroad. All
receive three holidays with the eXcep-
ton of Boston, which secures four,
owing to the Bunker Hill Day date.
The four eastern clubs play from five
to six Sunday games; Pittsburgh IL
and the other western teams, Is or
10.
The final days play in the Nation
al League is set for Thursday, Oct. 3,
and in the American League a day
earlier, which will in all probability
bring the opening game of the 1916
Worlds Series on Saturday, Oct. Z.
Under this arrangement the corhpet-
urday game and if western clubs are
engaged N the title battle, one Sun
day contest. If the series extended be-
yond four games, Columbus Day will
be included and should it go seven
games, a second Saturday might be
added to the list making an excellent
outlook for the gate receipts. The
care with which the major league
schedules have been prepared is fur

are but three conflicting dates.
