SPORTING NOTES.

President Harry Hampstead of the Giants announces his club bS not for sale. President Harry Frazee of the Red Sox makes similar but hardly new announcement. It is now square ly up to Connie Mack to inform the public that the Athletics do not in- tend to quit the American league.
 One big advantage in having col leges make tennis a major sport lies in the alluring fact that tickets for the Harvard Yale match would not be so hard for the general public to obtain.
 It is evident that the football rules are going to be changed to pro- vide for just such a situation as arose at the recent game between Navy and Great Lakes at Annapolis. At any rate considerable pains have been taken to get at the true facts as they occurred and in this way provide ample data for the rule makers when they get together in their next annual meeting. The nnidsiipmen's tumble which start ed the long run that eventually gave the game to Great Lakes. was the starting point. The ball did not roll along the ground but travelled in the air toward the sideline and no official thought it had been taken unfairly from Capt. Ingram. when he lost pos session of it. In the awarding of the touchdown after Nelson of Great Lakes had been tackled by a stlb- stitute on the sidelines, when he had a clear field in front of him, no kick is made against the referee. He un- doubtedly acted on general principles in awarding the score and also in placing the ball directly behind the goal posts, making the try for goal as easy as possible. Navy men would have been glad if the odlciai had simply awarded the yardage so

YALE NINE MAY BE MISSING
 IN COLLEGE LEAGUE

New York, Dec. 1o.-The annual meeting of the National Collegiate Athletic association, which will be held in this city late ttis month, is anxfously awaited in college cir c1es. It is felt that this, will be the most important meeting in the history of the national body-oae that will possibly mark an epoch in intercol- legiate sports.
 There is no desire on the part of the men who are in charge of the athletic activities of the colleges throughout the country to ''go ahead with anything" until the N. e. 4. A. delegates have been heard from, and. as well it is possible that the War department may have thing or two to say about athletic conditions of the future
 The attitude of the colleges is one of expectation. At Yale, for instance, not move has been made to start up teams for sports in spite of the fact that all need of eral athletics has disappeared. It things now would be going ahead in the dark, as it were.
 It is already known that New Ha- ven that any activities that are at tempted next spring will be on a much reduced and more economi- cal basis. Coaches will he few and every alleged extravagant fea- ture of the pre-war days will be missing. It is believed, though, that Yale will be represented on the baseball diamond. on the wa ter, and in track and field athletics during the coming spring season.

Warner, in the superior court last week to file cross complaint in the divorce action pend ing in the court against him by Gladys ". Jacobs Mrs. Jacobs charges her husband with intolerable cruelty, and in the cross complaint her husband accuses her of infidelity, naming her former chauffeur John Hynes, charging that the two commit ted the acts alleged both in their. sum- ner home in New London and in their home on Beverly Road, West Hart ford.

John 4. teyd|er Elected Head Nat. League

z. P
 New York, Dec 10.-John A. Heyd- Ter, president, secretary and treasurer of the National League at its annual meeting here today The three offices are combined for the first time since 1907. 4 N
 MT. Heydler was unanimously elected for term of three years. He had been acting president since the resignation of John K. Tener last summer. He had acted as president once previously after the death of President Pulliam in 1909 until his successor, Thomas J. Lynch, was elected. MT. Heydler is thoroughly conversant with every detail of the national game, having been connected with the National League executive office for the past fifteen years.
 MT. Heydler was born Lefargeville, N. Y. July 10, 1869. His first pro- fessional eperience in baseball was as a National League umpire in 1898 when the double umpire system was~ first Prior to that he was a writer on Sporting Life and the Wash ington Star and subsequently, he was sporting editor of the Washington Post In 1902 at the request of Pres- ident Pulliam. MT. Heydler compiled the, National League averages for that season and he became the presidents private secretary in 1908. In 1907 when the office of president Secretary treasurer of the National League was split Mr. Heydler was appointed sec retary, a position he has filled very effectively ever since.
 The rules were changed so that in the future the board of directors will consist of four members and the pres ident, ex-officio, who will have a vote in case of tie. Messrs. Hermann, Cincinnati; Dbbetsi Brooklyn. Baker, Philadelphia. and Hampstead, New York, were elected as directors for the ensuing year.
 There was no discussion as to tFe length of next seasons playing sched-' nle or of joint session with the American league but action on either or both is expected to be taken at to- morrow's session.
 Up to a late hour tonight the league members were debating proposed changes .in the constitution and by laws of the organization.
 President Baker of tha Philadelphia National League club, offered the po- sition of manager, made vacant by the unconditional release of Pat Moran, to Pitcher Jack Coombs.
 Coombs informed President Baker late tonight that he would not accept the offer.
