BROWN VETERAN
 PLAYERS READY
 FOR YALE GAME

Providence, R. l., Nov: 6.-On a. slip pery field and in a, driving rain the Brown Varsity yesterday worked through a stiff practice. The second team, using Yale formations and plays, were pitted against the Var sity. The Varsity was made up of Williams and NcSweeney, ends; Gu lian and Johnstone. tackles; Brace and Captain Nichols, guards; Flowing, centre; Fox, quarter back; Brooks and Adams, halves, and Armstrong. full back.
 Considering the condition of the grounds both teams did creditable work, but at no time could the backs get away, because of the treacherous footing. Most of the offensive was along straight football tactics, though several forward passes were tried with fairly good effect
 Coach Robinson is working hard to develop a backfield that will have a punch when it goes against the Bull dog line on Saturday, Flowing, John stone and Albright will be back in the line, and Brooks, Armstrong and Je- mail will be available in the backheld for the first time in three weeks, ma 1 teria1ly strengthening both the offen- sive and defensive power of the eleven.

New York, Nov The series breach between the Yankees and President Ban Johnson of the Ameri- can League was Widened when John son refused pointbIank to meet the joint National Commission Commit tee of which Col Jacob Ruppert of the New York club is a member. Johnson's action was a great surprise to the joint committee and his action may hold up the appointment of new chairman of the National Conl-
 mission to succeed August Hermann of Cincinnati indefinitely,
 Colonel Ruppert was appointed by Johnson last winter with Frank Ma win of Detroit as a committee to meet with William Veeck of Chicago and William F Baker of Philadelphia, representing the National League, to
 suggest the names of possible candi- dates for chairman Of the commiS- sion Some time ago, Navin resigned
 after making the statement that he
 believed with President Johnson that
 Herman should be retained. This left Colonel Ruppert as the sole rep
 resentative of the American League on the committee.
 The committee including Colonel Ruppert, and Messrs. Veeck and
 Baker met in this city on Tuesday
 evening and talked over a number of
 candidates for the position. It is not known what names were mentioned oy the committee at their conference but the names of Judge Landis of Chicago. Big Bill Edwards. John Con-
 way Toole of this city and John E. Bruce Of Cincinnati have been men, toned for the place at various times. It is understood that the commit
 tee made no choice, but decided to meet with President Heydler of the National League and President John son so that a candidate agreeable to all parties could be named. The committee is anxious to avoid the embarrassing situation of naming a chairman and having the candidate
 rejected by the two major league presidents.
 The committee suggested that Pres idents Heydler and Johnson be in- vited to a conference, and it is un- derstooa that President Hayd1er got into communicati with Johnson in Chicago yesterday. Just what con versation took place between the two league Presidents is not known, but 1t is generally understood that john son refused to meet with any com. mittee of which Colonel Ruppert is | a member.
 This radical action by Presiden; Johnson had added fuel to the fires of discomfort in the American League

RIBBONS ID OPEN LEAGUE SEASON
 HERE TONIGHT

Although the Blue Ribbons lost theEr first engagement of the Inter State League basketball season when they were defeated 3n New York last night by Guy Empey's Treat 'Em Roughs," the local players expect to pull down a victory tonight when they open the league campaign at Colonial hall against the Passaic. N J, five
 The new Ribbon lineup worked well last night and held Empey's team to a 27 to 20 score. Reich, Schwab, the forwards, and Stewart and Dehnert, guards. each made a field goal Malone, the center, threw four from the foul line. The New York's lineup was Beckman and Chief Muller, forwards; Leonard, center; Clinton and Fyfe, guards.
 The Passaic- team will make the Ribbons hustle tonight. The Jersey men have Sedren and Friedman, the old Utica stars; Tome, HenscheI and Donahue make up the rest of the team. The game will start at S:3O- and will be followed by dancing.

WASH. GLEES IN SQUABBLE MYTH
 WILLIAMS NOW

New Haven, Nov. 6-The customary lull which comes after a storm was very much in evidence in local foot ball circles last night. Manager Ke1e- her of the Glees, was seen, but he said he had already made his state- ment, and that there was nothing further to say on the matter. Manag- he still adhered to his word of yes terday, but he made the following g statement: ''The Williams are will =ng to play the Glees for the city title, providing all local men are used en- drely on the lneups of both teams. The contest is to be governed by the rules of former city championship games. But we will not play the day.
 There is no question put what Co., den is correct in his stipulation of been one of continual Wrangling since the inauguration of the annual game. If the two leading teams of the city are to play for the title no players but those residing in this city should participate in the contest. The fslees have four men on their roster who are from Bridgeport, and with these men in their lineup they are automatically ineligible 10 play the Williams for the title.
 Still another phase of the story is made all the more evident, and that is the clause in Coden's statement that he positively vii! not play the Glees on Thanksgiving day. Natur- ally this has a tendency to confirm the report that the Williams are to play the Chain team here that day. There is no doubt but what the game will be a great battle and that il will be a good drawing card, but it is to be regretted that the differences between the rival managers cannot be patched up so that the football pro gram for Thanksgiving will not be a deviation from former years.
 At the present writing this seems Impossible. and as both teams will stage stellar attractions for that date. 1T IS conclusive that the football fans of his city will be the only ones who will get the short end of the deal.

BAN JOHNSON'S ACT MAY
 BREAK UP AMERICAN LEAGUE

ranks and it was predicted by base ball men last night that the present serious complications in the organiza- Iion may result in 8, disruption of the league before next season. It is no1 secret that Ruppert, together with Coniskey of Chicago and F'razee of Boston, are now determined to fight Johnson to a finish. It is believed that these three prosperous clubs will not hesitate to wreck the American League circuit rather than submit any longer to the leadership of John- son.
 The Carl Mays rumpus has now reached the stage where New York. Chicago and Boston mean to fight Johnson to the end. Baseball men believe that it is now outside the realm of possibility that these three cities, constituting the strength of the American League circut would break away from the other five clubs which are supporting Johnson iR his fight against the New York club.
 The Board of Directors yesterday disalloWed the protest of the Detroit club and awarded the Yankees third place in the American League race. The board also requested the Nation ai Commission to pay over to the Yankees their share of the world S series receipts set aside for the club finishing in third place.
 As the National Commission is hold ing up the money until such time as the American League decides which club finished in third place, the direc- tors believe that the commission will hand over the money on their or der.

PRINCETON HAS CHEERING PARTY
 ID HELP TEAM

Princeton, N. J.. Nov. 6-Biu Roper stfted the veil of secrecy yesterday aTternoon which has hung over the Palmer Memorial Stadium during the practices of the varsity football team for the past two weeks. As the gates were flung open the entire under graduate body, led by the university band, trooped into the big arena to look the players over and to cheer them on in the daily struggle with the second team and the freshmen.
 Enthusiasm Is running high here. Disappointed at the jolt the West Virginians handed to their football aspirations, but not in the least dis couraged or downhearted. the stu dents have been marking time this week awaiting the word from Roper that all was clear at the Sta adiuTn. The word came yesterday and all hands assembled around the historic cannon at 3:3O whence, after a series of around the campus and down to the playing field --.
 From the noise in the Stadium a game might have been on. The first eleven, with all seven men in the rush line who have the best chances a | the present time of starting against Harvard Saturday, was working smoothly against all the opposition furnished by the scrubs and by Red Gem nert's freshman outfit Conditions were ideal for fast work, and with Jack Strubing driving them en at top speed all the time the cheering sec- tion saw some real playing.

FIRST COLLEGE GASEE
 OF FOOTBALL PROVED
 VERY EXCITING AFFAIR

Rutgers rooters had the first chance to cheer in the pioneer American col 1ege football game 50 years ago to- day. The ''buIdozers'' of the New Brunswick "twenty-ffve'' captured the ball, after a bad kickoff by Nassau. and within four minutes the. ball was sent hurtling through the Princeton goal. But the Prinleetonians who were much bigger and heavier than the enemy's forces were not discour- aged, and they quickly got revenge.
 The Nassau men charged into the Rutgers mass, broke it up, and then with a long and welI-pIaced kick, sent the pigskin between the Rutgers goal-post Again sides changed, anu the New Brunswick players, had grown weary, scored their second goal. Nassau scored the fourth goal, and matters stood even.
 Then Rutgers forged to the front, scoring two more, Princeton turned the same trick and the score stood four goals for each team. The ex- citement among the spectators was now intense and it is related that at one critical moment the occupants of the fence became so actively enthusi- astic that the support gave way and sent several scores tumbling to the ground. Rutgers which several times seemed to have victory in its grasp, only to get tied, rallied its forces and scored the ninth and tenth goals, win hing the contest.
 Another game was arranged for a week later, and was played at Prince ton, the latter winning overwhelIn- ingly- It was proposed to play off the tie, but the faculties of both insti- tutions put their foot down on the

OFFER DEMPSEY
 S2OO,OOO PURSE FOR TWO BOUTS

New York, Nov. - New Orleans
 boxing promoters fguratively are
 tossing money at Jack Dempsey, the
 heavyweight champion of the world
 Following the offer by Dominick Tor
 torich of the guarantee of $125,O00 to
 the title holder for a match with Joe
 Beckett on St. Patrick's Day, Johnny
 Abrams, a rival promoter of the Cres-
 cent City, dangled before the eyes of
 the champion a guarantee of $T5,OOO
 to meet Knockout Bill Brennan pre-
 vious to the proposed Beckett com
 bat.
 Abrams announced that he would | post the entire amount in the form of a certified check as soon as Demp- sey signs articles of agreement, and . it thus is apparent that Dempsey. having signed the Tortorich contract, can increase his earnings next spring to $2OO,OO0 by accepting the Abrams proposal. A snug little sum for a rainy day next spring.
 Yet both of these matches are con tingent on victories by Beckett over over Tom McAIahon on Dec. 1. So far as Brennan is concerned he will. | If successful, meet the champion, but # Beckett wins he may demur at l coming to the United States. If Car pentier should be victor over Beckett the Frenchman will decline to come to America. Therefore Dempsey may 1 be compelled to go to England for a. battle with Beckett or Carpenter. | TOrtOrich intends to send an agent | across to use his eloquence on the i foreign boxers, but he will be com pelled to make very fattering fnan- |. ciaI offers to get either of them.

to New York for the baseball meet ings in December. Some b ig deals in the major leagues are predicted at these sessions by Jennings, who also believes that some important reguIa- tions concerning the mana cement and operation of the big wheels will also come about. Signing of cer- tain players is another matter that he figures on attending to while in New York. He says Chick Shorten of this city, formerly with Boston, has not signed for next season, but that inasmuch as the Detroit club appreciates the fact that Chick performed brilliantly last season and intends to offer him an advance in salary, he is not worrying about meeting with trouble in signing him for another season.

JENNINGS DENIES " COBB
 WILL BE DETROIT LEADER

Scranton, Penn, Nov. 6-Setting at
 rest numerous rumors that have been afloat to the effect that he will not return to Detroit as manager of the Detroit Tigers for the season of 1920, Hughey Jennings of this city, yestet- day announced that while he has not signed a contract for next season, he and President Navin have agreed on everything, and that he will again be found pilotng the team in the American league pennant race.
 It was in denying story, which appeared in certain New York news papers, that MT, Jennings made the statement that it is a certainty he is
 to remain as boss of the Tigers i1I
 1920, These stories were to the ef- feet that Jennings had resigned his position, that he intended to quit baseball for good and return to
 Scranton to follow his law practice | exclusively, and that Outfielder Ty Cobb has been chosen for the Detroit manag cement. Jennings said that he doesn't know how the stories gained circulation, but that he does knowt they are not true, and that when the Tigers go into the American League fight in the spring he expects to
 again be their chief In addition to telling of Jennings deported resignation and Cobb's sp- peintment as manager, the mislead-
 ing yarns, now corrected by the Ben gals boss, proceeded to make it ap pear as though "Hughey' is being blamed for the failure of Detroit to win the pennant this season It was claimed he used poor judgment irl handling of pitchers, that he frown ed upon the advice given him by Dan Howley, coach of the Tigers pitchers,
 and that owner Navin had confided to prominent baseball men that he had concluded to banish Jennings
 as manager and make Cobb leader next year
 According to MT Jennings there has never been a difference between
 himself and MT. Nayin concerning the management next year, and that Cobb's name has been brought into the affair by writers who are either
 trying to cause dissa tisfaction on the Detroit team, or are writing baseball stories at random. He said that he
 doubted very much that Ty' Cobb
 would accept the management of a
 big league team if it were offered
 him, and that inasmuch as he and
 MT. NaYin have agreed on matters for next year, he is doubly sure that
 the Georgia Peach has not been
 rendered the same position.
 Jennings announced that he in tends to stay in Scranton untn around Feb. Is, with the exception of a visit

 Jack Skelly, one of the greatest featherweights of the Sullivan era, has this to say about The Toledo Terror: Dempsey is the greatest heavy the ring has ever known.
