BIC THREE NO
 LONGER LEADERS
Lafayette, Penn And Syr- acuse This Weeks
 Big Triumvirate
fBy Associated Press)

NEW YORK, Oct. 28-The caste system gradually is being forced from football by democracy marching be- hind the banner of the forward pass and led by speed and brains. The social strata of the gridiron was built with layers of beef. Tradition created Harvard, Yale and Princeton as the old families of football and pos terity accepted them through years when these monarchs of the sod fought it out for the championship after tri- umphant marches over the bodies of lighter squads.
 A rule was passed barring the use of the hands on offense; the distance to be gained was increased; permission to threw the ball was granted. The bour- reoisie saw the wisdom of outrunning the behemeth and passing over hise head rather than a futile crashing into the mountains of flesh and bone. They gradually became proficient and foot ball was set free.
 'ESig Three" Most Out
 Today, with the season only half over, neither Yale, Harvard or Princeton is among the big elevens of the east with a clean slate of victories. Yale is the only member of the Big Three among the teams tied but not defeated.
 Lafayette, Pennsylvania and Syra- cuse form the triumvirate still beyond reproach of even tie. Dartmouth, Yale, Lehigh &and Rutgers have suf- fered tie but staved off a defeat. There is no guarantee that any of the seven will remain unbeaten at the sea- sons end.
 Unless tie game results, either Penn eH-lty nta n ON these two clash at Philadelphia Satur- attention. <
 Lafayette Has Edge
 Lafayette, with victories over Pittc- burg and Washington and Jefferson, will have q paper edge over Pennsyl- vania which has not yet received a real test. Both elevens ere well bal anced, powerful and confident.
 At New Haven, Yale, tied by Dart mouth and winner over Georgia and Brown by narrow squeaks, will be opposed by Army, already beaten by Notre Dame, but Yale, of the gridiron aristocracy, and Army, service eleven, hold special interest.
 Dartmouth will be q favorite over Brown because of the strong games played by the Green against Yale and Harvard.
 Syracuse was not impressive, actual ly Outplayed, in it's game with Penn State and might be victimized by Pitt if the latter repeats its stunt of 1923 by developing into a strong team after poor start. Rutgers should retain its undefeated standing in it's game with Franklin and Marshall, and Le- high is strong favorite over Muh- lenberg. Only Lafayette stands in the path of Ringers and Lehigh. Syracuse must face Columbia and Colgate, Penn sylvania must defeat Penn State and Cornell. Yale, if it passes the Army test, will still have Harvard and Princeton, to beat.

DOLAN TO ASK
 FOR s1OO,OOO Names Landis, Johnson And Heydler As
 Defendants

NEW YORK, Oct. 2S.-Cozy Dolan former coacho of the New York Giants, banished for alleged complicity in an attempted bribery deal with Jimmy O'Connell, will seek damages of not less than $100,000 in the suit he plans to bring against Baseball Commissioner Landis, according to W. J. Fallen, Dolan's attorney.
 Papers in the suit which also will name Presidents Johnson and Heydler of the American and National league as defendants will be filed in federal court here not later than Friday of this week Fallon said. The action accuses base baly's executive of libel; seeks Dolan's restoration to good standing and his share of the worlds series money.
 KNEW NOTHING
 CHICAGO, Oct. 2S.-President Ban Johnson of the American league said to- night he was not responsible for the ac- tion taken against Cozy Dolan and Jimmy O'Connell of the Giants as re- suit of the scandal just preceding the worlds series and that Dolan therefore had no right to include him as a defen- dant in his threatened $100,000 suit for islander. Mir. Johnson said he had not even been invited by Commissioner Landis to attend the meetings to make preliminary Arrangements for the series, and was not consulted in relation to the alleged attempt to bribe player Sand.

.ROUSHGETSHEAVY VOTE FOR POSITION
Cincinnati Centerfielder Chosen By Experts And
 Players Speaker Also Picked

to be the leaders. But the ma jority con clusion was that time has dealt more gently with Iris than with Ty. The vote was:
 Speaker Leads
 Speaker, 59: Cobb, 30; Flagstead, Detroit, 13; Rice, Washington 6; Mostil, Chicago, 8; Johnson, St. Louis, B; Ruth, New York, 2.
 It should be explained that one man who put Ruth in center field, chose Williams of St. Louis for left fielder and Jamieson of Cleveland for right fielder. The other wanted Jamison for left field and Heilman of Detroit for right field.
 Speakers wonderful ground covering ability has deteriorated little if any. On the offense he compares with Cobb as follows:

 Editors, Note: This is the fourth of q series of articles analysing the first vote ever taken among the players of the two vote waa taken for exclusive publication in : this city by The Age-Heraid, the ballots being secured by the North American is a member. Daily articles on this page tell how and why the players voted.
 Roush of Cincinnati is the only out fielder this year who is the unanimous choice of the experts for . place on the all-American baseball team. His assign ment to the center field post, the poll conducted by The Age-Herald shows, receives the general endorsement of his fellow players in the National league.
 But, while eighty-five of the one hun. dred and eleven players voting favored Roush as the best center fielder in the league, Carey of Pittsburg, leading base runner, received some consideration. The Pirate star was given nineteen first choice ballots, which placed him far ahead of the rest of the field, including Cuyler, two votes, Williams, two votes, and Meusel, Heathcote and Wilson, one vote each.
 Carey In Left
 
 to left field, in order that he might have both Max and Roush on his team. As alternate for Carey he nominated Wheat of Brooklyn, but-said a nota- tion on his ballot-"Carey would be more valuable than Wheat on this team" His complete outfield placed Carey in left field, Roush in center field and Young in right field.
 This evidence of careful consideration is but one of many proofs that the play CTS approached the ballot with sincere thoughtfulness.
 Roush Good Hitter
 Roush fielded as well as Carey throughout the season and completely out shone him at bat. Only at base run ming was the Pittsburg star superior. Their records on fhe offense are:
 G. AB. R. H. HR. SB. PS. Carey .....149 59S 112, IFS 70 .3ss There was less unanimity of opinion in the American league this year regard Ing the merits of the center fielders than was evidenced in relation to any other position.

Caddy Who Claimed Be- ing Kidnapped Confesses
 Frame-Up

NEW YORK, Oct. 28.-Robert Burns Boughan, the Chicago caddy whose story that he had been kidnapped by Walter Hagen, professional golfer, resulted in the issuance of Chicago warrant for Hagen's arrest, admitted to- day that he had told the story to his parents in an endeavor to cover the fact that he had run away from home, according to word received by w. G. Marvin, the golfers attorney, over the telephone from Kansas City.
 The boy confessed, MT. Marvin was told, that he had seen Hagen's name in the papers as a participant in an exhi- bition match in Kansas City and that he immediately thought of the tale as one that would clear him at home.
