YALE GRIDDERS IN

New Haven, Sept Tad Jones and Charles P. Taft. 2d, Charles Comer-. ford and Tom Dickens, greeted fifty Yale football players on Pratt Field yesterday for the first practice of the Eli squad. It was good looking squad and the men. showed every sign. of having. healthfu1 weight reduc- ing summer. Captain Aldrich seem ed to be in the pink of condition, while the other members of the squad, despite the intense heat, scam pered around like a lot of colts.
 Light Work in Order.
 Only the ightest kind of work. that of falling on the ball and start ing on given signals, occupying the attention of the men to-day, but from now on the work will be in creased slowly every day until the opening game of the season, Septern- Der 24. Quaile, Into, Mackay, Cut Ter, Sturn and Jordan were among those present from last years var sity squad. O'Hearn, the brilliant freshman quarterback of last year who is expected to be bright star chi, the big guard, and Cross, last years center and guard, will be on hand tomorrow.

New Players Are On Way; Due To
 Report Tomorrow

The pair of Michigan Ontario League stars ticketed to join the Brown De1bies will report here to- morrow, according to a telegram re- ceived received today by Manager Gene MoCann from Harry Tolton, president of that organization. Mc- Cam received the wire this morning before starting for Albany on the 7:24 train. It stated the men were due to leave Kitchener this morning at o'clock, but did not state their names or give any other details.
 Despite the fact that his leg was in bad shape McCann insisted on making the trip to Albany, where the Derbies are slated to open a two- game series this afternoon
 McCann All Broken Up.
 McCann is a much broken-up indi- viduaI as a result of the crash com ing to the Derby outfit after keeping the team up in the race all of the season. With the distasteful Boehl- ing episode and his sore legs the local pilot appeared way down in the dumps. McCann, however. has not given up all hope. He is counting that the pair of new players will brace the team, and that possibly the locals will get another pennant to be played between Worcester and Pittsfield clubs, the Boosters and Hillies being scheduled to meet in seven more contests. If Bridgeport can cop Q 1eW games III a TOW pen nant stock will again be on the rise.
 Jinx Has Kelly Guessing.
 Secretary Jimmy Kelly also had the blues when he feit town this morning. q think the pennant jinX has got Bridgeport throttled after this seasons experience. Kelly re- called the close and disastrous fin ishes of previous years when Mo Cam, Dan Shannon. Jim O'Rourke and Dan Sullivan were in charge of the team. In those years the Bridge port club was well up in the race only to crack at the crucial period.
 A majority of the Derbies took ad- vantage of the off day yesterday and spent their time in New York sight seeing. They joined the contingent that left town this morning at the Grand Central Buck Lai was in the latter delegation. Before leaving was O. K. and that he will be able
 No games were played in the East earn League yesterday. Today New Haven fans are set for a big day, the Boston Braves being scheduled to play an exhibition in the Elm City.

DUNN'S ORIOLES OUT
 TO SMASH RECORD
Especial to the Times)

Baltimore Sept. 7.-Before leaving to-day for Reading, where Jack Dunn expects his twice champion Orioles to cinch a third pennant, already vir- tually a certainty and at the same time get a flying start to a sensa- tional finish that will allow his club to break the organized baseball rec cord of 117 wins in a season, now held by the famous Chicago Cub ma chine, Jack Dunn said he was confi- dent that the Orioles would accom- plish the feat
 With a home and home series with Reading, which team has not taken a game from the Birds this season, Dunn, ex-team mate of Gene McCann, when both were pitchers for Ned HanIon's old Brooklyns, Jack expects the series to be set up for he has in iected a lot of 1ate-SeaSon pep into the team by adding several players Dunn always plays safe, and always knows where to lay his hands on a fast semi-pro, and a semi+pro that can step into a leading organization in the International league and make good must be fast.
 Last week outfielder Holden suf- fered a slight injury to his arm. Dunn did not monkey business with a pitcher in the outfield, but step ped out in the general direction of Auburn, N. Y., and grabbed off a Some of the local scribes called him "Jiggs'' for a day, and then got "wised up''. The youngster, in his first game at home, Sunday flelded sensational1y in the sun garden and bounces two doubles and a triple off the left field fence, batting left handed, crossing the Jersey City out field.
 If it was Jersey City that passed Tommy Ray on to Bridgeport it is easy to understand, for Brady, play ing the Keystone for Jersey City, is a whirlwind. He plays his position and most of first base, right and center field, besides being sweet hit ter. The rest of the Jersey City team in form displayed in two games here looks like Albany did before Pat O'Connor took charge.

BY TAD
 There never was time in the ! whole history of boxing when the men of that profession were 50 bad as they are to-day.
 At present there are two really good champions-Jack Dempsey, king of the heavies, and Benny Leonard, king of the 1S5-pounders. The rest you can toss into the ash can-
 There are other fairly good title holders, but the writer can't class And when one stops to think of the fortunes they get in purses these days is almost knocks you silly Think of a ham and egg fighter like John ny Wilson getting S37, 800 to box an- othe.- ham and egg fighter, Bryan Downey. Wilson's end would be a fortune for the ordinary man. It is more than he could earn in a life time, yet this cheese champion siaps his way through twelve rounds of boxing and picks up the change.
 Tex Rickard isn't to blame The sucker public is the cause of it.
 It's no wonder the fighters laugh Think of the purses that second-rat- CTS got at Madison Square Garden last winter.
 As long as the sucker public falls for the bunk, big purses will rule.
 There may be hard times all over America, but when you look over . fight crowd and think of what they pay for seats you really can't believe that the wolf is meowing at any door.
 Bum fighters are getting rein and they don't have to learn how to box. We haven't a heavyweight. excepting
