ton, coached by Leo Leary of Har-
Ward had Casey, Enright and Murray
of Harvard and CAMEL OF Dart

Because the Stadium Field was
frozen solid the teams had to play in
the mud on the freshman gridiron.
More than 5000 surrounded the bat
tie ground. The score hardly shows
the difference in the teams for the
Navy eleven was the aggressor all the
way outgalning the Marines by more
than four yards to one. The Marines
only once were anywhere near the
Navy goal line. This came late in
the final period when Wilson COM

twenty-five yard gain. He was
stopped on the Nays 31-yard mark
where another forward pass was
| intercepted.
Navy Shows Strength.
The Marines gained only sixteen
yards in their scrimmage play aside
! from four completed passes for thir-

| being short, while the Charlestown
| outfit covered 227 yards from scri1n-
mage and only thirty eight yards Of
this distance by the serial route In
| the middle of the field the Marin es
could not stop Enright, Casey and
| Cannell, but were much bette: near
the goal line.
In the first quarter the Navy rushed
steadily for sixty-seven yards before

plays, the Charlestown boys drove
Camel home for the winning touch
down.
The play was at evens after that
until almost the end of the game.
when Enright caught a pass made by

Mahan himself brought him down len
yards from the goal
There was time for only three plays,
the game ending with the Navy in
possession of the ball less than three
yards from the goal. Mahan did
some great passing but gained hardly

cept once when he intercepted a
Navy forward pass. The Marines
received the entire proceeds.

NEW PLANS FOR
WORLD SERIES
National League Will Intro.
duce Measure at Joint
Meeting in Chicago.

New York, Dec. 12.-One of the
principal topics which will be
brought up for discussion at the
joint meeting of the two major
leagues in Chicago tomorrow refers
to the future conduct of world s
series championships.
President Tener. OF the National
League, does not believe the play
ers' pool, according to present ar
rangement, too much. He does be-
iieVe, however, that a more eQuable
distribution should be made of the
spoils, and his league will back him
up in the idea.
The Tener plan Is to have all the
players of all the clubs but one OF
the participating league to share in
the worlds series pot. The principal
beneficiaries, of course. would be the
respective pennant winners A pre-
MUM would be placed on victory,
of course. The worlds champion
would annex the lions share. but
the other clubs would be given a
part of the pot, graded down in
yersely from second place clubs to
second division teams. The tail-end-
ers would receive nothing. and the
share of the various place teams
of the league winning the highest
hOnors of baseball would be rel
atively more than the defeated
league in proportion to the differ
ence between the winners and los
ers' end of the big show.

HOLD SCHEDULE.
FOR DECISION
National League Will Not
Name List of Games Until
After Joint Meeting.

New York, Dec. 12.-Routine matter
occupied the attention of the National
League magnates at the second day
of their meeting today. The playing
schedule was informally discussed.
President Tener announced, however,
that II was the sense of the meeting
to play the old 154 game schedule next
year. The matter will be left over
for final adoption, together with the
player limit, until the joint meeting
with the American League later In
the week.
The league unanimously voted Its
approyal of President Tener's propo-
sition for a new distribution OF the
worlds series purse on a pro-rata
system This scheme was endorsed
a year ago, but did not meet with
the approval of the American League.
1t was voted to again bring the mat
ter up at the joint meeting.
Under the scheme the players on
the contending teams for the stellar
title would get about 60 per cent, as
much as they now receive, and the
remainder would be divided among
the players of the other clubs accord
ing to their position. Tener believes
suoh a split of the worlds series
purse would stimulate more interest
in the race for the different positions.
The constitution was also amended
SO that a player II suspended by the
league president for a period Of more
than ten days has the right to appeal
to the board OF directors.
The action was taken because OF
the McGraw episode last summer.
when it was decided the New York
manager had no appeal from Presi-
dent Tener's ruling suspending him
for sixteen days.
A motion by Branch Hickey, Of the
Cardinals, that the rule by which
waivers may be withdrawn should be
done away with, was defeated.
The constitution also was amended
so that any date on which a game
is not scheduled shall be an open
one.
The magantes also adopted a uni
form set Of club rules, for the con-
duct of players at home and abroad
Heretofore each club had its own
rules. The rules refer to keeping uni
forms clean. time for reporting, de-
pertinent on the field and kindred
matters.
The league also voted for each clut
to set aside one day during the sea
son to be known as Griffith Bat anC
Ball Fund BAY. when q per cent OF
the gross receipts will be turned ovel
| to the fund.
Three meetings were held by th'
/ league today-morning. afternoon anC
night. 1t was announced no wore
had yet been received from thu

a joint meeting. If no word is re
ceived tonight the National League
club owners will, start for Chicago

AT LOCAL CLUB
Pittsburgh Mitt Mauler May
Meet Winner of Smith
Sheeler Fight on New
Years Day.

Matchmaker Joe Freeman, Of the
Maryland Athletic and Social Club, of
Ardmore, Md, is so pleased with the

Freeman is attempting to get the
signature Of Harry Greb, the sensa-
tional Pittsburgh middfe-weight, to
meet the winner of Thursday night
bout. Greb has been going through
the ranks Of the middle-weight divi-
sion like a French tank through the
front line German trenches. Grep
has seventeen knock-outs to his credit
in Al bouts and both experts or the
east and west are already proclaim
ing him the middle-weight title
holder.
In case Freeman obtains Greb's con-
sent by Thursday night more interest

travelling Smoky City fighter as 1t will
mean one step nearer the middle
weight crown.
In order not TO be caught asleep
Freeman has many wires out and In
case he is unable to land Greb to
meet the winner of this Smith-Shee'
