YALE TRACK MEN
 BEGIN TRAINING

New Haven, Nov. 28-YaIe ath- 1etes who are expected to try for places on the track and field team reported for the initial practice of the season yesterday. Coach Mack ordered all interested into the base ball cage and announced to the as- sembled candidates that there would be training every day excepting Sun holidays.
 It Is expected that those men who pound to condition early will be en- tered in some of the Amateur Ath- letic Union indoor meets held in New York and Boston this winter. It is almost certain that Yale will be rep- resented In the annual meets of the Boston Athletic Association, the Meadowbrook A. c. of Philadelphia, and the New York A. c. games, pro- vided thesN. Y. A. c. holds a meet this season r -;
 Coach Mack will give most of his attention to the development of hur- de and sprint men. Few veterans of any ability in these events have returned to the university this year. The coach made it known that the winter work is important for track men, especially as it fits them for the outdoor season in the spring and brings them to high efficiency more quickly.
 Distance men will report for tho time being, to Coach Quea1 at the track house on Yale Field. Numer- ous races for these men will be held every few days.

TrOiSe Is
 Injured At Bowie
Jockey Breaks Collarbone When Easter Lily Stun bles in Fifth Race-Am- brose Rides Like Demon. Sending Shooting Star to Victory.

Baltimore, Nov. 2s-Incidents of an unusual kind gave a zest to the racing at the Bowie track yesterday. Two track records we're smashed, Jockey Troise had his collar bone broken and Jockey Ambrose, defytnr his critics regarding his previous of Shooting Star, ''came back'' with a brilliant piece of horsemanship on that horse and won the Autumn Con- solation Handicap at a mile, beating among others the fast Ally Jul1aIeon.
 Jockey Troise is considered the pest apprentice lad riding. Early this spring Bert Reilly, a young telegraph operator of New York, who won pig fortune in war brides" gave $5'oO0 for the lads contract Troise hao the mount on Easter Lily in the nfth race. About 60 yards from the finish, while trying to jam through next the rail, the Ally jumped on the heels of some of the horses in front of her and stumbled. Troise was hurled about six feet in the air and landed on his collar bone.
 Crepuscule, winner of the sixth race, and Judge Wingfield winner of the seventh, were the horses that hung up new track marks Crepus- cule ran the mile and rurlong course in 1:56, lowering the record one second. Judge Wingf1eld cut the old mark for one mile and 20 wards from 1:44 to 1:40.
 Ambrose Rides Like a Demon.
 That Jockey Ambrose deserved all the criticism heaped upon him by6 the racegoers when Shooting Star was beaten by Airman last week WAS made evident in the handicap, when the son of Star Shoot easily beat a better lot of horses than Airman. Racegoers, recalling that Ambrose did not do the horse full justice in the previous race, backed him yester- day, and were well repaid.
 Ambrose's riding was in marked contrast to his work the other sdays Last week he was in no hurry to get home first. Yesterday he never kept: far behind the pace, and in the stretch moved up to Sweep Up II, the leader, with a rush and fairly ran away from Wood Stone and Julialeon in the sprint to the winning post. 4fs e,es
 Rdnghurst one of the crack sprint CTS of the country two years ago, car ried 118 pounds, top weight, in the second race, and though the distanca of six and a half furlongs was trifle more than he fancies he beat his op- ponents easily. ges Tsz All the other winners were out siders in the betting. Wheat Cakes, the first winner, ga1loped home in front in such impressive style that ! there were several claims for her, F. R. Doctor obtaining her for S1 200. Heatherbelle, which finished third. was claimed for $975.
 l. Father Hogan of the White Marsh Catholic church, the oldest church in Maryland, received S420, the value of the first prize, won by Zouave, at this meeting. The owner of the , Quincy Stable made the donation Billy Oliver celebrated his victory with Judge Wingfeld by purchasing the black horse Carbide from J., &. Tyree.

COCHRAN MAKES
 BIG AVERAGE OF
 50 AT BILLIARDS

New York. Nov. 28-welker Coch- ran, the youthful balkline prodigy from the West, played spectacular 1S.2 billiards in both of his games at Maurice Daly's room yesterday, de- feating Joseph Mayer by 250 to 13O in the afternoon contest, and van quishing him by 300 to GA in last nights play.
 In the afternoon Cochran wound up the game with 8 brilliant run of 1858, and at night he electrified the large crowd of enlookers by averaging 50 in 300 points. The youngster now leads Mayer on the match, which is scheduled for 2,50o points, by $50 points to AIS, and the Quaker will have to do some lively hustling in the remaining blocks of the match.
 Mayer played we'll in the afternoon, but was out of stroke last night, for The missed on very easy chances Cochran was wild and unsteady in the afternoon, and could not keep the balls together. Even in his big con- cluding run of 15s the youngster, was unable to do any close work, open play predominating to the last shot
 Cochran got his stroke in the night 61AA7 dIlo PI1yoO W1SA "OHdcTI LII SKILL and ran out in six innings. He again excelled with masse shots, and got out of many tight place when the balls were lined up through the medium Of a delft stroke on the top Of the cue ball.
 The youth also exhibited much bet ter judgment than he has previously shown. his position play being ex- cellent. E
 The experts who watched Coch- rams work last night were of the opinion that he would give Hoppe a hard battle at the present time. The score by innings:
 Afternoon Game.
 Cochran-35,, 14, 20. o, 20, 3, 153- 250. High runs, 15s, 35, 14; aver age. a5 5-7.

AMERICAN WILL CUT SCHEDULE IF
 HER RIVAL DOES

Chicago, Nov. 28 - Numerous double-headers will result from any attempt to compress schedule of 154 games into five and one half months, in the opinion of B. B. John son, president of the | American League yesterday. .
 He said that he favored reducing the American League schedule to 140 games, but if the National League decides to retain the 154-game schedule that 1t would be necessary for the American to play a like mum Der in order to avoid conflicting dates.

CORNELL'S LINEUP
 IS STILL IN DOUBT

Ithaca, N. Y, Nov. 2S.-The makeup of the Cornell team in the game against Penn may not be known until after the players reach the clubhouse on Franklin Field Thursday noon. Dr. Al Sharpe, head coach of the teams, said yesterday that he was not yet ready to announce his selec- tions, intimating that much might depend on the condition of the play CTS after the long trip to Philadel- phia.
 There were reports among the un- dergraduates yesterday that in the signal drills Sharpe had been exper- imenting with a number of radical shifts. and that surprises might be forthcoming Thursday, but the head coach was silent on this question. The Ithacans worked for more than an hour in 8 final practice of the for nations on which Nethercott will rely in the game, and it was noticeable that frequent changes were made in the lineup both in the forwards and backfeld. Based on the work of the last two days the coaches are certain to place Colvin and Spiegelberg at the ends, and Herman and probably Harris at tackles with Swanson, Straus and Trowbridge probable selections for the centre trio, though there is a possibility of unexpected last min ute changes.
 Nethercott will play quarter back and Acting Captain Hoffman is cer- tain to play in the backfield. Carry has come to the front fast in the last week, and he is likely to replace Cross at left half back for part of the game at least. Coach Sharpe said he would take 3T men to Philadelphia, includ- ing all of the Varsity squad and Ia scrubs.

May Revise Division of spoals.


 President Tener will again bring his scheme flor a different split of the worlds series purse before the Ma tiohal league this winter. Tener stil1 Is firmly of the opinion that the worlds series players get entirely too much for their efforts. He Is willing that the contending players get 8 just share, about $2,500 for each of the winners and s1,50O for the losers.
 However. by a graded system, he would also give 8 certain percentage to each of the six teams finishing be- low the first place team. In this way he would stimulate competition for the first division positions. as the players on second place clubs would get as muth as s400 apiece.
 Al year ago the National league in- dorsed the plan, but the American league voted against it. It needs the joint. action of the two leagues to change the worlds series rules. De- spite the fact that the American league turned down the proposition a year ago Tener still is of the opin- ion that it is good one and will make another effort to have it adopt ed. il4-
