NAYIN PROTEST $
 ALEAGUE AFFAIR
KeydIer Says Commission Should
 Take No Hand in Dispute

New York, Oct. 16.-John Heydler, member of the National commission. will not vote on the question as to whether the Yankees get share of worlds series money. The question hinges on whether the Yankees finish ed in third place. They finished third largely through the aid of Carl Mays, who pitched for the New York club on the strength of temporary restraining order procured after he had been suspended indefinitely by Ban Johnson, president of the Ameri- can league.
 Frank Navin, president of the De- troit club, the club the Yankees beat out for third place, has protested the award of third place money to the Yankees on the ground that the games won by Mays a suspended player, en- abled New York to finish in that posi- ton. Navin has directed his protest to the National commission, which temporarily has held up the money al lotted to the New York American players.
 T do not see how the National com mission can be expected to make any decision on this matter, and l for one will not vote on it, said Heydlcr yes terday. Understand, I have no Ob jection to MT. NaVin making his pro- test of third place money to the Yam kees and l think this money should be held in escrow by the National commission until the American league decides for itself who finished in third place.
 An American League Affair.
 But it is my contention that the National commission has no power to act on this matter. It concerns the American league entirely, and I, as the National leagues representative on the commission, have no desire to en- ter into a case that deals entirely With the rival league. It is up to the Am erican league to decide for itself who held by the commission may be turned over to that club.
 Were the National commission to make any decision on this matter it would draw it into the Carl Mays case, which is entirely an American league issue. The commission has no author ity to deal with matters which pertain entirely to one league"
 Heydler's contention is we'll found- ed. Were the National commission to decide whether or not New York or Detroit finished third in the American league it would force the commission to take sides in the Carl Mays case. AS Ban Johnson is very much concerned in the Mays case, and Hermann is Johnson's crOny, it might make it awkward for Heydler. The National league president therefore wisely an- nounces that he will not vote on the question on the good ground that the commission has no authority in the matter. It is perhaps the best way out of it, and keeps the Mays muddle confined to the American league.

TIGERS SHOW IMPROVEMENT
Varsity Line Repulses Driving At tack Made By Scrubs Within 2O- Yard Mark.

Princeton, N. J., Oct. 16.-There was no let up in the work assigned to the Tiger eleven yesterday and first clear day of the week and staged } scrimmage with the freshman eleven. The varsity appeared to have prof1ted by yesterdays severe drilling and presented an alm most impenetrab ble defense to the yearling backs, who SO far this week have had little trouble in finding big holes in the first eleVens line.
 The early part of the afternoon was devoted to drilling the ends in cov- ering punts. With Winner and Lourie doing the kicking, the four pairs of varsity ends were sent down the field to tackle the receiver. Williams, HarVel, McNamara and Samson showed up to good advantage and all got into the scrimmage work later In the afternoon. Following this work, some time was expended upon forward pass formations, with all the backs on the varsity squad hurling the ball.
 The work of the team yesterday was decided improvement over yester- days showing. The line is charging better, but the work of the back field still lacks cohesion and a driv- Ing attack. The line as it now stands Is heavier than it has been in either of the two preliminary games, and the coaches feel that the power ot the team has been materially in- creased.

PREPARING FOR PIT.
Syracuse Does Light Work in Prcpar- atiOn For Hard Game Saturday.

Syracuse, N. Y, Oct. 16.-Light work was the order for the Syracuse football team in Archbold stadium yesterday afternoon in preparation for the Pittsburgh game Saturday. After the two hour scrimmage drill Tuesday it was decided to go easy on the boys.
 The workout was in charge of Mee- han, field coach, "Buck" O'Neil hay ing been called to New York on business for the day.
 All the plays that Pittsburgh used against West Virginia, including the shifts and the trick plays, were shown to the varsity by the freshman team Johnny Barsha, fullback, who has been out with an injured knee, raced up and down the field and looked ready to start Saturday. Robertson also was back at center in the signal drill and worked as if his injured rib did !" bother him at all.

CRIMSON SCRUBS ACTIVE
Hardest Practice of Season Was En- gagged in Ycstcrday-HadIcy and Crockcr May Be Lost to Varsity.

Cambridge, Mass. Oct. 16-There will be few football games this fall in which Harvard players will get more strenuous workouts than they did in the stadium yesterday. With every coach acting as ''pep'' pro- ducer, the varsity line, with the sub stitute backs scrimmaging against the sub forwards with the first string backtield men, went at each other hammer and tongs. The play was the hardest of the season and the battle waged from one end of the field to the other. No scores were pro- duced.
 Two of the substitutes who have been coming along-Hadley, the big 1920 tackle, and Crocker, who looked like a conner in the Colby game were cn the side lines in street clothes, and possibly neither will be able to play any more. Hadley did not stand up under hard work, and the coaches have just about given up hope that he will be available any more because of his having been gassed in the service. If Phinney does not return Harvard will lose one of it's most promising regulars.
 Eddie Mahan was out in togs coach- ing yesterday afternoon, while Percy Wendell, captain of the 1912 varsity, also was out. Humphrey was in the first string backfeld again with Casey and Horween, but later Nelson re- placed Casey. The backs as class are not measuring up to their early season promise, and lack of general versatility is keeping the coaches at sea as to just what is the combina- tiOn to bank on.

Special Workout for the Punters: No
 Game Saturday.

Annapolis Oct. 16.-Coach Dobie gave his Navy kickers a lot of work yesterday afternoon. As the team is by no means strong along this line at present, there also was some for nation and signal work and practice in getting down the field and tackling The best of the punters is Tucker. 9 halfback, but he is not likely to make the team and at present is out of play on account of injuries. King is doing the place kicking, including the tries for goal.

CHARGES AGAINST PASCO
CO. SCHOOL BOARD. PEO-
PIE PETITION GOVERNOR

Sensational charges are being filed
against the county schol board of Pas
co county, according to the Port Rich
ey News. It seems that there is trou-
bic over the selection of school site.
The said paper of today contains the
following:
Public indignation over the action
of the county school board in purchas-
ing 4-acre grapefruit grove as a
school site, despite the protest of cit
liens, quickly eliminated in a monster
petition signed by 225 residents of
Port Richey and New Port Richey,
which was despatched to Governor
Cats Saturday, April &c.
"The governor is head of the state
board of education, and it is expected
that he will take summary action to
preevnt this $4,000 raid on the school
funds of Pasco county.
"The petition protests against the
purchase of the Nicks grove as a site
Communities, and asks the governor to
direct the county school board to To-
cate the school on Massachusetts ave
nue., at or near the corner of the hard
road.
"The petition is sworn to before a
notary as representing two-thirds of
the school patrons of Old Port Richey,
all the school patrons Of New Port
Richey and four-fifths Of the residents
of both communities; also that it was
circulated after ten days of public dis
cussio min the press and at mass meet
ings called for that purpose; also that
the signatures are genuine and that
they represent the sentiment of the
people both in Old Port Richey and
New Port Richey.
Accompanying the petition is a
statement of facts sworn to by ali the
members of the delegation that ap-
peared before the county school board
on April II, protesting against the
purchase of the $4,000 grove"
Following this there is a lengthy
petition to Governor Cats, setting
forth the reasons why the school board
should~be restrained from purchasing
certain site at the cost of $4,000,
which the petitioners claim is exorbi-
tant, and that the proposed site is not
the best location.

organization, as we'll as others within
the state, and it was said on very good
authority that this is the organization
