MAY SUE DREYFUSS.
Mamaux, Suspended Pirates Hurler, Threatens Action Against Magnate.

In return for Barney Dreyfuss' an- nouncement that Pitcher Mamaux has been fined $500 and indefinitely suspended the latter threatens to bring suit against the owner of the Pirates says the New York Sun. Mamaux says that Dreyfuss is hold ing back a large portion of his sal ary Dreyfuss, 1t seems, agreed to pay s20O month for 12 months in the year and to invest $5,00O extra during the term of Mamaux's con- tract, which does not expire until October, 1918. Mamaux insists that he has been fined and suspended without cause and that he will go to the courts to obtain an accounting. Ten days ago Mamaux pitched Sun day game for semi-pro team near Pittsburgh, for which he was disci- plined. Dreyfuss asked the National Commission to "blacklist" the young man, but Governor Tener refused to take such action, declaring:
 "If Mamaux merely took part III an amateur game which did not har- bor ineligible players it would be wrong to attempt to expel him from organized baseball.

NO FOOTBALL IN STADIUM.

Cambridge, Mass, Sept. 5.-The ball crowds this fall and the games in which the Crimson's makeshift var sity team takes part will be held on the freshman gridiron back of the Stadium structure. Athletic authori- ties said tonight that in stagiing an outdoor drama in the Stadium this summer the football playing field was burrowed into so extensively that it cannot be re-sodded this fall. If an attendance of any considerable size Is assured for the so-called informal matches which are to be arranged, bleachers will be erected on each side of the freshman field,

CADETS GAN PLAY :.
War Department Issues Order Per-
 init GIidiron Contests But Not With Annapolis-Keyes to Act As Coach.

Annapolis-Keyes to Act As Coach.
 West Point, N. r., Sept. 5.-Though there will be no Army Navy game this year the Army will send a foot ball team into the Areana This an- nouncement was made yesterday upon the receipt of an order from the war department permitting the academy to organize a football and other teams to compete against col lege combinations.
 The order had the proviso that no athletic relations with Annapolis were to be resumed until a special pErmit was issued by the war department. Secretary of War Baker believes that the army and navy are such great rivals that a football game between them would mean too intensive pre- paration, which would distract the at tention of the cadets from their mili- tary work.
 To take the place of Capt. Charley Daily as head football coach Capt. Godfrey Reyes, who was graduated from the academy in 1913, yesterday was appointed. Capt. Reyes is an in structor in languages at the academy and his presence here is rather for tunate for West Point for it has been decided by the war department to detail no army officers this year for coaching work. >..
 Capt. Reyes has had the benefit of the coaching of both Capt. Daly and Capt. Ernest Graves, the line coach, and knows their systems. Other former army players here will help Capt. Reyes. The new coach made some reputation as a member of tEe 1911 and 1912 teams here and played with Dan Pullen, Arnold, Hyatt and1 Devere.
 Capt. J. E. McMahon yesterday was appointed the new army football ! representative in place of Capt.I Francke. The latter was named only last winter to take the place of Capt. Phil Hayes. Capt. James B. Crawl ford Is ecretary-treasurer of tho Athletic council, once more revived.
 The task which faces Capt Mo Mahon is no easy one. for he must get up a new schedule of games to take the place of that cancelled last spring, when the order banning foot ( ball for the year was received here The old schedule had games with Holy Cross, Pennsylvania, West Vir- ginia, Springfield Y. M. c. A., Col lege Villanova. Notre Dame, Maine and Bowdoin in the, order named.
 Capt. McMahon expects to have no trouble in getting up a new set of/ games. Though the time for prac tice will be very limited the cadets expect to get out first rate team. Work will be started immediately.

Barnes Beats Giants.

New York, Sept. 5.-The opinion that Pop Knickerbocker's young drab soldiers will carry to Yaphank about the Giants is that it is rather forum ate for the Harlem crew that the Pa cific coast schedule doesn't prevail in the National league. The Coast league season doesn't end until somewhere around election, and an eight game lead on September 5 can be dissolved quite easily by slow attrition.
 Just now the Giants are not going anywhere. They are just floating along, playing 300 ball and trusting their big lead to carry them safely into port They again were toma- hawked on the Polo Grounds yester- day by the lowly Boston Braves. who felled them by score of to l. The victory gave Boston the short series, two games to one, it being the first series the Braves have won from the leaders this season. In addition to Manhattan's quota of draft troops the game was attended by high civic and military dignitaries, including Mayor Mitchell and Major-Gen. Bell.
 Jess Barnes, the young Brave right handler who usually has more smoke than luck, gave pitching exhibition which for gameness rivalled anything seen on the Harlem lot this season. The score:
 Boston ..... 0OOO11O01-3 9 New York ... OOOOOOO10-1

Brooklyn, Sept. 5,-Makine

Brooklyn, Sept. 5.-Making base ball history seems to be quite the proper caller at Ebbets Field. Fol- lowing close upon the twenty-two in ming Brooklyn struggle and Alexander's double header victory over the Dodgers there came yester- day sensational fourteen inning scoreless tie between the Superbas and the onrushing Phillies. It was light enough for several more in- nings to be played, but Umpire Rig Ter called the game Ion account of darkness"
 With Jeff Pfeffer pitching one of the most brilliant games of his ca reer, virtually holding the Phillies to two hits in the fourteen innings, though officially charged with three, and Joe Oeschger twirling almost as wonderful ball, National league record was made for scoreless pitch ing duel. Yesterdays struggle was the longest shutout battle two Ma in.
