Sap SAID: "of course, you know that
ne famous Doctor Young wrote down
ms equally famous Night Thoughts
just as they occurred to him. These
are are ! my ny afternoon thoughts on matters
appertaiining to and touching upon
baseball That winter meeting will be
on US before we know it, and we might
as well be prepared for it. Now, that
here"-pointing to some scraggly pen
clilngs that resembled a contour map
OF the White Mountains in the rainy
means that l agree with the
gentlemen who think that this barn
sstorming business is getting past a
joke.
First l was all for the boys. I
couldn't see why they should be de-
prived of earning that extra money in
the fail, but, gee whillikens, some of
the happenings in these transforming
trips have made me sit up and take
notice. Think of several teams of
major leaguers losing farcical contests
to colored teams! Either they ought
to, quit playing or al least draw the
color line"
Not Technical Chart
His attention was directed to what
looked like technical chart of the
first three bars of the overture from
"William Tell" down on the corner of
the pad "Here!" shrieked the es-
teemed Colonel, "get away from there!
That's about some ball players Pm
coveting from other cities. I'm not
ready to spring that yet" Other cunei-
form characters indicated that the
Yankee Colonels would not be bit Of
Tended if the worlds series was
heightened to the nine-game size
agan. This years sad and short af-
fair left them with nothing but dark
brown taste and a balance on the
wrong side Of the ledger. Then there
was q brief and completely illegible
note about hiring ball players by the
year instead of the playing season, ard
one startling clear sentence, "Must see
Page"
The mystery Of how anything that
could be read had been written on the
pad was cleared up when Ed Barrow
admitted that he was the culprit in
this particular offense. 1t was to call
Colonel Huston's attention to certain
unsuspecting deer that had been shot
by Cap and his associates some time
ego and left with Mr.. Page to mind
The Yankee magnate forgot all about
the venison, but his friend was faith
full to his trust. Hes stood guard pa
tiently until he finally had to call Ed
Barrow and explain that the only thing
he still minded was the odor, and
would Colonel Huston hurry up and
rescue him. The portly magnate i'm
mediately left the Office with meat
axe over his shoulder.
AL Schacht was q visitor at the
Yankee headquarters yesterday. He
showed clippings to prove that he and
Nick Altrock, with their partners in
crime, played an exhibition game at
ball crowd of the entire season to the
ball grounds. Some 4,500 fans turned
out to see the comedians "do their
stuff" and, according to the press re-
ports, the audience was we'll pleased.

Why Centre Shift Succeeded


The football doctors at Harvard have
decided that failure of the team to dc
better against the Centre shift was be.
cause they, did not shift wide enough
to meet 1t. Between halves the Har-
ward men were told how to combat the
maneuver. but instead Of moving along
with the Centre parade they didn't dc
SO, didn't follow instructions. They
were over-eager to protect gaps along
the scrimmage zone, and the full line
did not shift with the lockstep march
ers from Centre. Result, part of the
Harvard line was poised and on the
qui vive, guarding nothing but long
expanse Of once green grass.
The Army was prepared to use lot
Of Nosre Dame stu!f-shifts and for
ward passes ~ against che Navy last
year, but the wet day spoiled the fun
The. West Pointers must have absorbed
q good deal Of the Notre Dame
nscromancy while practising it. There
has been no pressing need for it thus
far this season, if, indeed, the Army
still has 1t, and it may be that given
dry day at New Haven Saturday the
soldiers will have a shift and pass
worth while. 1t would be still more
interesting if something Of the kind
were hurled against Notre Dame as a
heist-with-your-o measure,
just as victory over Notre Dame
would restore some Of the East's re-
duced prestige as the most cultured
football section,
While Yale and the Army are grap-
ping the Navy will lock horns with
Penn, and there seems to be ten
dency to regard this as nothing more
than q "fairiy hard" game for the
Midshipmenyou know, one of those
kind In which ths Navy may have to
hustle q bit, but be In no real danger
Of defeat. It may be. The Penn
schedule has not been severe as yet,
and the Quakers have not met any
thing 70 serve AZ real proof of their
renaissance. but they have shown
ability TO handle handily everything
they've been called on to meet.

No Complaint From Scranton

An odd feature Of that Scranton
game of Altrock's team was that it
was called in the twelfth inning with
the score tied at 2--2 and plenty Of
daylight to play several more innings.
However, the umpires halted the con-
test for moment in the eleventh in

be called in the twelfth to allow the

word was spoken when the game was

In view Of the lamented Douglas af-
fair on the Giant team and the recent
story about the first Western trip of
the Yankees, Colonel Huston was asked
did he approve of the idea of having
"house detective" for each ball club
New-York tribune., 1922-10-25


BY and by they will have signs up
at South Field saying "This is a
safety" or "Thia is a touchdown" as
the case may be. A year or so ago
Brown left the field. supposing itself
the victor, as did all the spectators,
but that evening Referee Langford
decided otherwise.
Brown kicked off, the ball hopped d
across Columbia's goal line and Apple
baum, of Columbia, juggled it momen-
tarily, then fell on 1t behind the line.
Brown was swooping down. The ref
cree ruled at the time that this was a
safety, but it was agreed later that
Applebaum had not picked the ball UP
and started to run with it, SO that
he gave it none of the i'impetus'
which would have constituted safety.
Langford came to that conclusion
after thinking it over and had the
courage to reverse himself.
Taking away the safety and it's two
points took away Brown victory. In
that same game there was dispute
over whether forward pass into the
end zone had or had not been caught
beyond the end zone. The play, how
ever, was allowed to stand and it gave
Brown touchdown.

Queer Happenings on Gridiron

Add the Columbian. Y. U. incident
to o series Of out-of-the hap
penings on the gridiron last Saturday.
Against Holy Cross, Boston University
tried three consecutive forward passes
from behind the formers own goal line.
Tufts had the temerity and originality
to use forward pass for the try for
point following a touchdown, and the
Dartmouth team ran into costly two
yard penalty for extra time out. The
penalty probably cost Dartmouth a
touchdown.
