COACH WORKS
HIS PITCHERS

CAMBRIDGE. Mass.-No man is as
well qualified TO judge pitchers as u
catcher.
That's the theory on which Coach Jack
Slattery OF Harvard bases his twirllng
selections.
From the start Of the season in the
cage until the umpire yells "out" at
rhe last Yale game. Slattery coaches his
team with his right hand. His left is
covered with n mitt.
Slattery is spending his afternoons
right now with dozen or more likely
hurlers. He doesn't stand around and
watch them however. He gets down in
the cage and receives their throws.
The same before game. Slattery
works out with his men and selects his
pitcher from first hand information.

POLICE TO BREAK UP
ALL ROWDY GANGS

The Terrors of Halloween viii not
start until tonight this year. Last
night very little destruction was
wrought by the kids.
Only one complaint of any expen'
sive destruction was made to the po-
lice that being made by man who
declared this morning that somebody
had carried away his fence during the
night He declared in an angry voice
that it will cost him $3.50 to replace
the fence.
The complaint Of the man was the
only complaint of any destruction
wrought by the kids in their annual
frOlic.
Of course even the night before the
big night saw many outbuildings lay
ing on their wrong end this morning
and many men going TO work found
they had no gate to open.
Porch steps, swings, flower pots
and many other things were moved
out by the "goblins" last night.
But not near as much as expected
by the police was on hand and 1t is
evident that the boys must be re-
forming. The vigilance of the coppers
keeps the big gangs dispersed and
they have not enough of help to per-
form any feature stunts.
