PRINCETON DESERVES CREDIT FOR RECOVERY
 OF FOOTBALL MORALE

New York, Nov. 1S.-The glorious climax of Princston's football cam paign lifts the Tiger completely out of the bog into which it had been plunged by defeats earlier in the sea- son at the well schooled hands of Col gate and West Virginia It means not alone that Princeton will rank high among the big elevens of the year by reason of it's tie with liar yard and it's stunning victory over Yale, but that the Tiger should re- turn next autumn with an eleven of title potentialities. Certainly, an ele- ven, embracing in the main unmel- lowed yearlings and other grenadiers of brief experience should come back famously next season after fighting together through such a rocky route as the Tiger of 1919 had to tour.
 Princeton should have one of the best elevens in 1920. In the first place, Roper has established himself as one of the leading coaches of the day. And this in spite of a start swarthed in black disappointmen ent. Roper has shown the desirability of a system that points a -eam for it's main rivals. In a week-the period between the Princeton's disastrous backset at the hands of West Virginia and its thrilling comeback against the Crimson-Roper subjected the Tigers to a thorough Pat Moraning. There was real miracle stuff in that trans cendent f1ashback of the Tiger to the heights. It was an achievement that will rank with all the other notable accomplishments with which the new era in sports has bristled.

TWO ENGLISH HORSE OWNERS MADE OVER
 $1OO,0OO THIS SEASOlf

Two owners of fehorougnpreds won over $100,000 in England this year. Lord Glanely tops the list with s125.- 1s7, and Lord Derby cc1nes next with S101,052. Fifteen of Lord Glanely's s horses won thirty-three races, among them in accounting for the large sums he captured. His leading win ners were Grand Parade, Dominion, Bright Folly, Scotland, Sl<yrocket, and Lady Juliet. Seventeen of Lord Derby's horses finished first in thir- ty-two races in capturing the $1o1,- 052 he won. Grand Parade is the leading money winning thoroughbred in England. He has captured $41,S30, which is just about half as much as Samuel Rrddle's Man O. War has to his credit in America.

NAVY COACH DECLARES
 ARMY ELEVEN STRONG

Annapolis, Md, Nov. 1S-After see- ing the West Point team in action last Saturday against Vi1lanova, Dobie said frankly that the Army team was stronger and better than he had been led to understand, and that only the very best use of the intervening two weeks could develop a Navy eleven with a reasonable chance of victory. The squad went to work yesterday afternoon with this understanding of their task.
 The 2,o00 midshipmen of the regi- ment will leave Annapolis for New York at o'clock on the morning of Nov. 29, and will spend the might in the metropolis. They will go in four sections, two by the Pennsylvania and two by the Baltimore & Ohio, reach ing West 18th street, New York, at about 12:30 o'clock

JACK SHARKEY
 TO BE WILDE'S FIRST OPPONENT I

New York, Nov. IS - It looks as though Joe Wagner. manager of Jack Sharkey, the West Side bantam weight, has stolen a march on the other handlers and has plucked the plum of the first meeting with Jimmy Wilde. Sharkey last night received a wire from Wagner to start for the West and prepare for strict training for bout with Wilde in Milwaukee. While the original date selected was December it is likely the event will be decided on December 5.
 Sharkey can be depended on to give the Briton a hard tussle, for the West Slider not only is a conductive and tireIess fighter but he hits with effect. Wilde and his managers expect to have their Western program com pleted within a. few days and the champion will then start for the West.
 It is probable that after Wilde f1n- ishes his engagements in the middle West, which may include bouts in Detroit and St. Paul in addition to Milwaukee, he will go on to Denver for contest and then continue to the Pacific coast.

The army hasn't produced a ring champion yet, as was expected, but it has turned out a champion of the cin- der-path. Army life and perseverance were the factors in the triumph of Fred Taller over Charlie Pores, the former national ten-mile tit1e-holder in their recent clash in Brooklyn. Faller's career might well serve as an inspiration to ambitious athletes struggling for fame with the spiked shoe.
 The new ten mile champion has been in active competition eight years "a long stretch of time to consume before winning a title. Generally a runner makes good' in his first three years and not infrequently leaps into renown during his initial season on the track.
 At the end of six years of track effort Taller appeared. to be farther from the coveted goal than when he started. Even his friends predict ed he would never amount to any thing as runner and might better save him his energy for something at which he could excel When the war broke out Taller was one of the first to reach France. His long and ha- zardous "hitch'' in the army gained him additional strength and stamina. He took part in army athletics and won the A. B. F. distance events. In the 5000 meters ss-country event at the Inter-A11ied Games Taller fin ished second to Vernyllen, the great F'renchman, after giving the GauI a stiff fight for premier honors.
 Returning to this country Taller startled his friends by sweeping every thing before him in distance competi- tion. His first victory at home was the winning of the Modified Marathon under the auspices of the Hammond Post American Legion, at Dorchester. He captured a half dozen ten-mile events before measuring strides with Pores, the National champion in Brooklyn. In the latter match Taller literally ran Pores into the Ground" and forced the champion to quit be- - fore the races was half run. With no one left to push him to the limit Fall Ter breasted the tape in excellent time of 52: 2-5 seconds-the fastest time ever hung up for the event by an American born athlete. flames Ko- lehmatnen negotiated the distance in 1913 in 51:03 2-5, breaking six other American records from the four mile mark to the finish.
 Taller doesn't yet claim to be in Hannes' class as a champion. But in time, if his astonishing improvement continues, he may shatter a few et the peerless F1nn's marks. At any rate Taller Is recognized as one ot our brightest hopes for the Olympics in Antwerp next year--which is suf- i ficient glory for the present.

.TRIMBLE WON'T
 BE BACK WITH
 TIGERS IN 1920

New York, Nov. 1S-Princeton will lose by graduation next June six of the men who took the gridiron against Harvard and Yale for the two big games this year, and the greatest loss will be ''Maury'' Trimble.
 In addition, Jack Strubing, the clever quarterback; Capt. McGraw at one guard; Frosty Williams at one end; Puffy" Bigler, the aggressive tackle, and Joe Parisette, the other tackle, will have to be replaced.
 Trimble's value to the Tigers this year cannot be overestimated. He was the strongest weapon of attack while scarcely a flaw could be picked in his defensive play. It seems pity, from a football point of view, that he should be lost almost as quickly as he was found He rose to great heights in one season, and it is safe to say that he would have earned the fame of Eddie Mahan with more experience. He has equal value, today, and perhaps even great CT value, to a football eleven than Eddie Casey of Harvard, even though the latter may be more elusive and harder to stop when running with the ball.
 Bill Roper will not lack a strots nucleus, however, for his team next year, as in addition to the freshmen who beat both Yale and Harvard, he will have five of this seasons eleven to say nothing of four or five valuable substitutes.
 Mike Callahan will be back at cen Ire, t'Pinkey'' Baker and Dickinson for guards, Stan Keck for one
 tackle and "Shad" Davis for one end, to say nothing of Harvey, who was not far behind Williams for the other end.
 In the backfeld Hank Garrity and Al Wittmer of this years team will be available, while Lourie, who played a big part of the Yale game; Jim Scheerer, the brilliant punter who scored the touchdown against the Blue last Saturday by his alertness in | snapping up a loose ball, and Frank , Murrey, who drop-kicked a goal from l the field in both the Harvard and 1 Yale games, will be eligible. | ''Whitey" Thomas, a substitute 1 centre, and a number of others who ! gave promise also will be back, whict ! means that Princeton men can look 1 forward to another football year witt optimistic feelings.

MURPHY MAY BE
 IN YALE LINE UP
 NEXT SATURDAY

New Haven, Nov. IS = Departing from the time honored custom of resting the Monday after a Princeton game. the Yale regulars, with four exceptions, reported at the field yes hope will lead up to a victory over Harvard next Saturday.
 The four who rested were Jim Braden, Leon Walker, Dick Dickens and Ray Munger.
 When the varsity lined up for the long signal drill Barclay Robinson replaced Babe Allen at right end. Whether Robinson or Allen will start the game against Harvard is a ques- tion. The latter has had several in juries this fall, all slight, but they have had a tendency to slow him up a bit, while Robinson is fresh.
 Allen played on Alex Wilson's team when Yale was slaughtered Al to in the stadium four years ago this fall. He didn't play on Blacks team the year following because of an injury, and when war was declared went down to Fort Myer with Charlie Taft, enlisted as a private and went over seas immediately. He weighs 176 pounds.
 Robinson, who played at right end yesterday, weighs the same. He was , in the ambulance service and later in the artillery.
 Except for bruises, the team seem ed to be in good physical condition | It is expected and hoped that Thorne Murphy will be able to play against Harvard

PRINCETON CELEBRATES GREAT
 VICTORY BY HUGE BONFIRE
Out in Large umbers and Each Member of Winning Given Ovation by Joyous Under
 graduates

Princeton, N. J., Nov. 18.--Prince- ton gave vent to it's pent up enthu- siasm here last night and in won derfuI demonstration celebrated last Saturdays glorious victory over Yale. For the first time in eight long years Nassau Hall glowed in the light Of football bonfire, which has been since time immortal Prineeton's flnal method of celebrating here her tr1- unphs over her most "hated'' rival Yale.
 And, as was the case eight years ago, the chief honors went to a man who snatched a brilliant victory for the Tigers after their chances seemed doomed. Smiling Joe Scheerer is a worthy successor to Sam White, who individually was responsible for the victory of the Tigers over the Blue in 1911. Scheerer, however, was not alone in his glory, for with his name were linked the names of Murrey, Trinlble and Capt. McGra:w, all of whom were instrumental in this greatest triumph of a fighting Prince ton eleven i
 Class exercises were suspended at 2 o'clock and the rest of the day until 8 o'clock was employed to gather wood forE the huge bonfire that was erected over the cannon just behind old Nas- S1u TEiau. AS LctS bSS1i ti4S Soh7SOAAA 4-- years past, the freshmen collected all the fuel and a motley array it was. Boxes and blanks of every descrip- ton, and buggtes, decrepit wagons and all the available and movable signs about the town and the campus.
 Promptly at 8:3O o'clock Capt. Cur tis McGraw started the big conhagra- tion and a great cheer went up as the flames, slowly at first and then faster and faster, spurted up into the air to sienalize Princeton's return to her place of prominence in the football Armament.
 For five long hours the flames poured forth from the immense pile of wood and fore most of that time the entire student body ranged itself as close to the flames as the intense heat would permit. There they cheered to the last dying echo the names of the men who last Saturday stepped into Prineeton's hall of fame.

HARVARD MAY LOSE DESMOND
 FOR YALE CAME SAT TURDAY
BurIy Disabled Substitute Being Coaches Put A. Horwee in Backfied to Get More Power in Attack.

Cambridge, Nov. IS Harvard's football forces reassembled yesterday afternoon, the first varsity team starting on the last lap before Satur- days Yale game. It is in fine physi- cal trim, with the exception of two men, The coaches still figure that there is not more than an even chance that they will have the ser vices of Desmond, the big right end, who played through the Princeton game, or that Ralph Horween will be able to get into the game except as an auxiliary. Desmond was worn out at Prince on, and, in addition to his bad knee, has been slow in conn ing back toward good physical condition. He is Harvard's heaviest end and the scheme of play for the Yale game included some highly inn portant work for this particular ath- lete.
 Ralph Horween was on the field yesterday and in football jeans, but it
 was for the first time since he was hurt at Princeton ten days ago. He
 did some drop-kicktng and had his
 usual accuracy, but the coaches have
 not yet tried him out in running with
 any of the backfeld combinations. Morris Phinney, who was at left end in the early games but who hurt his back in late October, was put into the first team lineup at right end. The experiment of using Kane, right tackle, on the wing on the same side of the line, did not work out in very satisfactory fashion against Tufts. Kane acted like a tackle all through the game and the coaches have ap- | parently given up the idea that he can adapt himself to end rush play. This is a disappointment, as in the practice last week Kane looked as if he might be available for either posi- l tion.
 Phinney's down the field work is | not particularly fast, but he is very strong asa receiver of forward | passes, and completed many of these
 in the games in which he played be- l fore. he hurt his back.
 l When the varsity team trotted out | Arnold Horween was in the back 1 field with Murray, Humphrey, and | Casey. Burnham, who started the | Princeton game, is in good shape, but l the Harvard team as a whole wants Arnold Horween in the middle of the i line.
 1 Havemeyer was at centre and prob- l aDiy VIII De the man to Sldrt aSdiIS' 1 Yale. Whether he will play centre | on the defense is something the 1 coaches will have to consider, for Arnold Horween's greatest strength is in rowing just back of the middle
 of the line. Havemeyer is also good
 defensively, and up to the time of the
 Princeton match was considered one
 of the keenest men the Crimson had
 to beat down the forward passes ot
 the other fellow.

HARD ID STOP
 FREAK PITCHING
 MACNATE SAYS

Freak pitching deliveries, such as spit ball, the emery ball and the shine ball, unquestionably are unpo- Dular with the great mass of fans and proposed legislation by the mag mates which would tend to eliminate these deliveries is certain to have the support of the followers of the game.
 Unfortunately, it would not be an easy matter to make any of the pre- yentatives so far conceived effective. President William Veeck of the Chi cago National Club, former base ball writer and keen student of the game, recently pointed the difficulty of enforcing measures aimed at the pitchers.
 .'I have discussed the matter with many people, including club owners and umpires," he said, 'and none Of them even claimed to have a method by which freak deliveries can be stopped absolutely. There are plenty of ways to curb the thing, but un- less an effective remedy is found it would work more harm than good probably, because it would be an in Justice to enforce a rule that would handicap some pitchers and benefit others who might find a way to beat it.
 "Granted that such restrictions could be placed on the pitcher that it would be impossible for him to doctor the bail in play in any way without detection, he might pitch one wide ball and the catcher could have something concealed in his big nitt by which the ball could be fix ed up. Or the first time the ball was hit to an infielder or an outfielder any one of them might be able to do something to the ball that would snable a pitcher to get freak results.
 s.In order to make any rule of the kind effective it might be necessary to adopt a search and seizure law by which the umpire would have to examine the glove and uniform o1 every player before taking the field in every inning, and giving him the authority to confiscate any part o1 the players uniform that was found to be contraband.
 That would entail tedious delays between innings"
 The point which Veeck raises i. an excellent one, for it is plain that players other than the pitchers coul6 doctor the pellet. As a matter of fac such thing has been done many

Pat Moran Picked Up
 Nice Sum This Year

Pat Moran has been we'll repaid for leading the Cincinnati Reds this year. He received a salary or $6,000 for the regular season, also a $5, 900 bonus from President Hermann. $5,000 as his share of the worlds se- ries money, and $1,G00 in gold from admirers in Fitchburg, Mass, where he makes his home. Moran signed a contract for one year when McGraw turned him over to the Reds last spring. He will sign another when he feels like it, and probably his salary will be more than doubled. It was good thing for the Miracle Man when the Phillies let him out a year ago.

TO INCREASE DRAFT
 PRICE FROM MINORS.

The draft price for minor league players taken by big league clubs may be increased when the draft is restored next season. It is proposed to raise the price on Class A A players from $2,5OO to $5,00O, and on other leagues in proportion. As the Eastern league will be rated as Class A next year the draft price for a player taken from Bridgeport will probably be $2,50O or S3,OOO next season. That will be an incentive for minor league managers to develop young sters instead of sticking to veter- ans.

times in the past In one game play ed by the Giants this year the ura- pire threw several balls thrown by the opposing pitcher out because a foreign substance had been applied to it. though the pitcher protested that he had not tempered with the balls and offered his glove to the umpire as proof of his contention. The glove contained nothing that could be smeared on a ball, and the official was puzzled, but the mystery was solved an inning or two later when the vigilant judge of balls and strikes detected the short stop of the opposing club grinding the ball into his glove which, examination proved, had been daubed with licorice be- tween innings
