EARLHAM TEAM OFF M KENTUCKY GAME' Absence of Fullback Williams, Injured in Butler Game, Weakens Quakers. EXPECT LOW GAME Kcntuckians Overwhelmed Butler By Crushing Score of 31 to 0. Accompanied by a full complement Ot substitutes, the Quaker eleven left this afternoon for Lexington, where fhey play Kentucky State tomorrow. The team was weakened by the absence of Fullback Williams who was injured in the Hutler game. Bowen who has been playing a half will go in as full, with Thornton taking Bowen's half and Trueblood filling Thornton's position. The prospects of a pleasant trip rather than any regard for opportunities of winning football laurels entered into the scheduling of the game with the Blue Grass institution. The Quakers will be very well satisfied if they hold the Kentucky team to a low score. 1 he team will line-up as follows, Stanley, right end, Thistlethwaite, rifclit tackle, Fowler and Cox, right guards, Lewis, center, Lamb and Kinneinan. left guards, Semler, left tackle, Calvert and Darnell, left end, Capt. Bogue, quarterback, Thornton and Leonard, right half, Bowen, fullback, Trueblood and .Mills, left half. The second men will include Lancaster and Jay. Kentucky Defeated Butler. Kentucky State defeated Butler early in the season by a score of 31 to 0. Butler was completely outclassed and the smashing attacks of the heavy backtield put most of her players out of commission for almost a week. An interesting game took place this afternoon when the teams of the two Thurber brothers clash at Franklin. Watash is expected to win the game by a safe margin. Franklin held DePauw to a tie earlier in the season, but at that time DePauw was not iti the condition she was when she defeated Wahash. Should Wabash run up a very high score it will tend to still further complicate the standing of the secondary elevens. DePauw Meets Rose. Probably the most interesting and important game of the season will be played tomorrow between DePauw and Rose Polytechnic as the winner'of this game will be almost sure to be returned secondary champion of the state. Odds on the teams are exactly even with many prophecies of a tie score. Indiana is the favorite over O. S. U. and will probably take the latest addition to the conference into camp by a small score. The Ohio team has been doing ragged work in practice during the last week and there are signs of staleness in several members of the team. The officials of the game will be Hackett of West Point. Snow of Michigan and Ilannan of Michigan. FEDERAL MAGNATES TO" DISCUSS LEAGUE Secret Meeting Will Decide on Rumored Raid For Players. LNDIAXAPOLIE, Ind., Oct. 31. Magnates of the Federal league will assemble in this city tomorrow for a two days meeting. Business of importance in connection with the proposed raid on organized ball will be up for consideration and the deliberations of the meeting will be closely guarded. Consideration of a playing schedule will also be taken up. Any action taken in this matter will be held a profound secret as organized baseball is represented in every town having a team in the new league. On the eve of the meeting rumors are flying thick and fast regarding negotiations that are under way between Federal league magnates and well Itnown baseball stars but none of them can be substantiated. Work was commenced Wednesday on the grandstand to be erected at the park purchased last week by the Indianapolis club of the league. A considerable amount of material from the old park at Riverside will be used in the construction of the grandstand in the new park. ENGLISH APATHETIC Show Little Inclination to Support Olympic Team. LONDON, Oct. SI. Unless the fund which is being raised for the preparation of a British Olympic team for Berlin does not reach $125,000 by the end Df the year, the special Olympic games here will go no further in the matter. This was the unanimous declaration of that body today. The committee expressed great disappointment at the inadequate support given the fund by the public and pointed out that the money is urgently needed for the 1916 preparations, which are being held in abeyance until the committee is assured of stronger backing. In the meantime several of the best English trainers are being sought to train foreign teams.

Agler is a marvelous fielder and bats above .2S0. FORMS EIGHT TEAMS IN Y. M,Uj, LEAGUE Physical Director Arranges Winter Basketball Schedule.

Another Chase

NO SAND LOT GAMES FOB LEAGUE STARS National Commission Rules Practice Lowers Dignity of Game. NEW YORK, Oct. 31. Because Chief Bender, of the world's champion Athletics, pitched for a semi-pro team in Brooklyn recently, and the champion's famous $100,000 infield, composed of Mclnnis, Collins, Baker and Barry, performed for a semi-pro team in the Bronx, the National Commission is going to take radical measures to put a stop to the practice. Tl;e commission says that it detracts from the dignity of the game to have such great players mingle on the sandlots with any pick-up team which is willing to give them a little money. Players Have Privilege. Under the present contract of ball players this practice is not forbidden, if the players first get permission from the club officials. It is shown that Connie Mack gave the Athletics permission to play, but Mack and all other managers will be instructed by the commission not to allow their players to go about after the season is over playing with semi-professional teams. The commission will take no stand against major league clubs going on barn-storming trips of league players, but will try to have the club owners prohibit their players from mixing in with the "semi-pros." ARRANGE TWO NEW BOWLING EVENTS The first of several features arranged for play on the city alleys will be started next week. Arrangements are being made for a two men tournament, with cash prizes to be given to the makers of high scores in the three games of the tournament. An entry fee of 25 cents will be assessed for each game played. I MODELS DEFEATED IN Y. M. C. A. LEAGUE The Y. M. C. A. team defeated the Models last night two games out of three at the Y. M. C. A. alleys. These teams are the latest additions to the league, which now is composed of eight teams. The addition of these teams will necessitate a re-arrangement of schedules. Henceforth Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday will be league bowling nights at the association alleys. Price rolled the high score of the evening, getting 226 pins in the second game.

STRIFE IN BASEBALL CIRCLES IMMINENT Federal League and Players' Fraternity Worry Moguls j of Sport. NEW UNION IS STRONG; Eighty Per Cent of Ball Tossers Hold Membership in Fraternity. BY CHALMER MUTCHNER. It begins to look as though the baseball public will be treated to some big "doings" before the blowing of the whistles announces the birth of the year 1914, the said "doings" to be supplied by the Baseball Players' Fraternity, the Federal league and the winter meeting of the National league. At the present time the Baseball Players' Fraternity looks like the headliner on the bill of entertainment. The so-called ball tossers' union, with a membership embracing about 80 per cent of the major league players, will submit twenty demands to the club owners. The most important of the demands calls for he abolition of the reserve clause in all contracts. On top of the players' demands comes the threat of the Federal league to raid the two major organizations and carry off a bunch of the greatest stars in baseball. The life of a major league mogul nowadays certainly is just one durn teaser after another. This threat of the "Feds" may be a flivver, and then again it may not. The Federal league was organized last spring with a circuit of six cities Chicago, St. Louis, Indianapolis, Cleveland, Pittsburg and Covington, the franchise of the last-named being transferred later to Kansas City. It can be seen that the league was up against pretty strong competition. But notwithstanding the opposition they encountered from the American and National leagues and the American association, the "Feds" managed to weather the storm and play out their schedule. Federals Are Outlaws. That't not a bad record for a league without the protection of organized baseball. But still the Federal league, under present conditions, remains a bush outfit. The only hope of becoming a real performer in the big show lies in a successful invasion of the Eastern territory and the landing of a squad of major league stars. This is the easiest thing in the world on paper. The next meeting of the National moguls promises to be as lively as any of its predecessors. The word has gone forth that an effort will be made to oust President Lynch. Garry Hermann is out to elect Robert W. Brown, of Louisville, president of the league, and it is said that the Cincinnati magnate has obtained pledges of support from Ebbets of Brooklyn, Dreyfuss of Pittsburgh, and Britton of St. Louis. The dissatisfaction with the Lynch regime is said to be due chiefly to the work of the umpires during the past season. Not that the umpires were incompetent. On the contrary the league's staff of arbiters in 1913 was the best the organization has had in years. But at intervals during the season one club owner or another would let out a yell that the Giants were getting the best end of all the close decisions. Strange to say, the kickers didn't blame the men who rendered the de cisions, but went after Lynch, who as president of the "league is also super visor of umpires. Some of the clul owners may have imagined that thei' teams were getting the worst of it from the umpires. Then again, thesf accusations of biased judgment may be considered the right recipe to mak President Thomas F. Lynch just plait Tom Lynch, private citizen. SKATING SEASON OPENED LAST NIGHT Between five and six hundred persons rolled over the Coliseum floor last night for the first time this season. The opening of the skating season was entirely successful, the managers say. and indicates that the sport has not declined in popularity. The rink will be open regularly until next spring on Tuesdays and Thursday night and all day Saturday. Should roller polo be revived again this year, skating will prove more popular than ever. A few years ago the Richmond polo team was the champion of the world. KILBANE KNOCKS OUT MARS IN SEVENTH CINCINNATI. Oct. 31. Johnny Kilbane, feather weight champion, last night knocked out "Knockout" Mars in the seventh round of a scheduled ten round bout. Up to that time the fight had been fast throughout, with honors about even. Kilbane outweigned his opponent eleven pounds. CORNELL IS OFF FOR HARVARD GAME ITHACA. N. Y., Oct. 31 Two thou-j sand students with a brass band went i snake dancing last evening to to the; station to see the Cornell eleven off for Harvard. While it Is known that: the odds are heavy against her, it is thought that Cornell will make an ex-1 cellent showing.

PITTSBURG. Pa., Oct. 31. Three National League magnates todaystand in favor of a shorter regular baseball season with an inter-league series of thirty-two games to follow, and they are today hoping that other magnates in both leagues will get the same idea. Presidents Murphy, of the Cubs, Kbbetts of Brooklyn, and Dreyfuss, of this city, are for the new scheme. Dreyfuss, after working out his ideas, drafted the schedule into comprehensive shape, and mailed a copy to each of his colleagues, with the request that the matter be carefully considered. The first reply to be received in Pittsburg was that of the Chicago magnate. Charles H. Ebbetts, president of the Brooklyn club, has also been heard from.
