VALE IN FINE SHAPE.
Big Blue Eleven Expects Worthy Foe
 in Lchigh Next Saturday.

New Haven, Oct. 9.-Aside from a slight injury to Maurice Smith. the center rush, who played most of Sat urday's game against Virginia. the Yale players were in excellent condi- tion today. Smith developed a slight muscle bruise, and it is feared that he will not be able to play against Lehigh next Saturday. Yale expects Lehigh to prove tough customer, as that team piled up 61 points yester- day against Albright college, the exact score Yale was harvesting against Virginia. Last year Yale was able to beat Lehigh by only to 6.
 In Smiths place Ross and Leisen- ring, who succeeded him yesterday, will be tried this week, and one or two of the guard candidates may be switched over for tryout.
 Orders were last night given to the Yale players to look out for stren- uous week of practice. Fullback Emil Jacques is expected to return to practice by the middle of the week and this will strengthen the backfield as Hutchinson, his understudy, has a tendency to tumble. Hutchinson's S nisplay Saturday gave Virginia it's chance to score by falling on the ball at the Yale 15-yard line.

ST, JOE'S MEET
 A BIZ SUCCESS Y. M. A. A. Games at Berlin Bring
 Out Speedy Field

A small but enthusiastic crowd was in attendance at the athletic meet given by St. Joseph's Young Mems Athletic association at the Berlin trotting park Saturday afternoon. This is the second meet that the so- ciety has given mad a number of stars such as James Roche, Sandy Evans, Bernie Wefers, IT,, and Roy Morse were obtained to add interest to tho event. All the locals that have ob- tained a reputation and men from about the state with any number of victories to their cr@Sit were there to add their names to the Hall of Fame
 If the young men had made the weather to order, a better day could not have been selected but the home folks again failed to show their sporting spirit and did not respond 10 the call. When a city with the popu- lation of New Britain fails to come through with a good attendance It an athletic meet, with the number of stars that appeared Saturday, then something is the matter with the sporting blood and the fans need to awake from @ long slumb
 Harry E. Peterson won the 100 yards dash senior city championship D in the first race of the afternoon and then qualified for the 100 yards open. Out of three trial heats the following men ran in the final of the 100 yards: Wefers, R. J. Monohan, Faulkner, Peterson, Morse and How ard. Monohan easily got the jump on the others and finished first in 10 r6 der 75 pounds, H. Butler just nosed E. F. Delaney out of first place in the closest race of the day. F. J. Kier- nan easily captured the 100 yard dash junior city championship, in Il 1-5. Morse showed his real worth by breaking the tape several yards ahead of the field in the 220 yards open. Ed. Sandberg, a local boy, finished third in the five-mile run, which Plant won in the remarkable fast time of 27 minutes, 22 1-5 seconds.

MAY QUIT
 JOHNSON CIRCUIT
Poor Attendance and Wane in h.
 tereSt Is Given As Cause

Boston, Oct 9.-An international flavor may be added to the American N league before the beginning of an- other season, it was learned yesterday on the most reliable authority. Toronto is likely to replace Washing ton as a member of the Ban Johnson circuit.
 ''The matter has been seriously dis e>assed for more than a year." ad- llitted a club owner of the American league yesterday. Whether any action is likely to be taken at our an- nual meeting I am not prepared to say. Conditions in Washington are very grave, however" he continued. l ''The capital city has not been inter- ested in baseball for many years. h. Il deed it never was a major league city in my estimation. At one game this N season there were only two dozen paid ladmissions.
 It is kown that Toronto has been anxious for major league representa- ticn for more than a year. Perhaps the boon would have been granted long before this time if the European war had not developed. The Toronto fCluD was one Ol lIlS ldISSSI d1oilcy makers in the Barrow circuit during the year just, closed.
 Clark Griffith majority stockho1der of the Washington Americans, who is attending the worlds series here, scoffs at every intimation that the Washington franchise is to be moved ito Toronto. Griffith declares he is in Athe game to the finish If a transfer were made it does not necessarily fol- How that Griffith would lose out
 President Ban Johnson of the American league frankly admits that Inc is displeased with the situation in Washington He intimates that his league has shown long suffering pa itience toward the capitol city and that the outlook for improvem in the near future is not rosy on the Toronto proposition. President Johnson would not say much, but from his converse ton it is evident that he has a warm spot toward Toronto for some future day. If a transfer is not made to Toronto before the opening of the 1917 campaign it will be because the American league operators feel the territory not yet ripe, or at least un- certain because of the European war. In any event, according to those who know, the Washington team will not continue another year under the pres ent administration. A change of own ership is to be affected if trasfer of franchise is not made

The CaSt-OR Champs.

Back in 1914 George Stallings broke up a league and smashed a world series institution win cast-off array.
 On that club he had Gowdy and Rudolph, turned adrift by the Giants; Evers and Red Smith. turned by Chicago and Brooklyn.
 But as the cast-off champs, the Braves of 1914 are seven dusty leagues back of Brooklyn.
 Note the array from the used-to- be-with- other clubs: Meyers, Mar quard, Merkle - Giants. Coombs Philadelphia Americans Cheney Chicago Nationals. Olson-Cleveland Americans. Mowrey---Cincinnati Reds.
 Here are seven ball players from five other clubs, no longer held as available talent. Coombs, Marquard and Cheney were considered as being all through, so far as first rank was concerned. The same was true of Mowrey and Olson and Meyers. But Brooklyns position in the National league race is pretty fair evidence of the use Bobby made off his cast of material.

PIONEERS ARE CHAMPS
Manager Mangan's Boys Will Have to Wait Until 1917 to Capture City Championship.

The Pioneers are the local cham pions for the season of 1916. All doubts that may have existed along those lines were set aside yesterday afternoon at the Ellis street diamond, when the South End team defeated the Pirates in the second of the series, score 4 to 2. The game was fast and interesting throughout, and was won by superior all-around work on the part of the victors. Nutting, who occupied the mound for the Pioneers was in fine shape, letting his opponents down with six hits, besides welding the willow in timely fashion. Stellar plays were contributed by the following Pioneer players: Lynch, who grabbed a hot liner from Kiniry's bat in the ninth frame with a runner on third, and Blinn, who speared spiral drive after hard run. Goeb, Noonan and Nutting were the swat kings for the victors.
 For the losers Grove played whirlwind game at second base and Cream and O'Brien were also in the imelight with their excellent fielding Batting honors for the losers were garnered by Mack, Paulson and Crean. Hinchcliffe who was on the mound for the losers twirled a masterly game, punched hits in the fifth inning prov ing to be his undoing. The score:
