The element Of Boston ownership
Is s1le one point which has distin-

most likely that Dovey had no

Il did his best to give Boston a
good National League team, but
the results were sorry. .
In the meantime the Boston
Americans had taken the center

did Is baseball history. They
cleaned up. The Red SOx were
l1sss noise IN Boston. Eventu-
ally the S0x came upon evil times
and then. the Braves made the
grand squirt and were world
champions.
But all this gets away from the
topic of sales. Three times while
the Red Sox were winning American
League pennants the Boston Ma
tional League team was being sold.
Sta1lings put them back in the game
with his historical squirt in 1914.
Since then the Braves have
fiivvered.
Boston will be called on for one
demonstration of loyalty when it
comes to a choice this year between
Mathewson and Chance. The return
of Frank Chance means a great deal
TO Frank Chance, and, Incidentally,
means a test of the baseball
kiticS, who have always held that it
was Chances leadership that won
three pennants for the Cubs. Also
1t will give an opportunity for those
Chance adherents who insist that he
might have done things vita the
Yankees In 1913 when he was the

The history discloses the fact
that as far back as 1910 there were
football reformers. They succeeded
in having the game prohibited for
a time on account of alleged
roughness.''
In 1858 New York newspaper
reporter who saw game Of foot
ball at Harvard got all excited be-
cause it was SO rough, but the
Boston reporters saw nothing
that they felt called upon to criti-
else.
However, there must have oeen
some few signs of roughness, be-
cause in 1850 the faculty prohibited
the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS game.
The first Harvard-Yale football
match was played in 1875. An &C
count of the contest says: The
overwhelming defeat of Yale is to
be attributed in a great measure to
the comparative newness of the
rules to them. They showed very
little discipline on the field, the diff
ferent players not seeming to know
their positions, and. above all, fail
ing in almost every instance to
back each other properly.
The history discloses that the
total football expenses at Harvard
in that year of 1875 were $3.50. The
total receipts We're sos. the re-
ceipts of the game with Yale being
$40, Harvard's share of the gate at

That $40 will hardly be enough to
buy a pair of seats for the game at
