With the foils, the Americans tri- umphed more through aggressiveness than superior skill. The English were quite adept at handling the rapier- like weapon, but could not withstand the vicious attack of their opponents. The visitors were almost routed in| the first eight bouts, but rallied gal- lantly during the latter part of the match to share honors with the Americans. | Five Americans participated in the match and each suffered defeat. Three of them, however, scored a trio of victories each, Sherman Hall of the quished nd-Tet- ley and Maj. R. M. P. Willoughby, but lost to Lieut. Col. A. Ridley Mar- tin. Maj.

EW YORK, November 19—Johnny Dundee has a diamond-studded N belt and the title of junior lightweight champion today.

It is true that the junior lightweight class is not recognized outside New York state, but the difficulty which Champion Benny Leonard and some of the . Re' — Yale offers her youthful captain, Malcolm Aldrich, as her candidate for the This young man, who is only twenty years of age, is the youngest ever to captain a_ Yale team—or any other, for that mmter.

He is the personification of the “triple threat,” and holds the top position in individual scoring among the eastern colleges with a total PEAK OF GRID INTEREST REACHED IN N games on Thanksgiving day. Yale had been chosen generally among foot ball followers to turn back the Crimson, who held if Tad Jones' plunging band of youngsters ran true to past performances they would become undisputed champions of the large trio, for Princeton had defeated Harvard and in turn been defeated by the New Haven eléven. Harvard, however, had many vigor- ous supporters, who believed that the speedy exponents of the Fisher brand | of foot ball would triumph. In this event a triple tie would result. Qver in Boston, as a side attraction to“the Cambridge affair, Georgetown appeared as the guests of Boston Col- lege. Georgetown had been defeated by Georgia Tech and Boston College had one defeat and one tie game on the season’s slate. Syracuse was in this city for a game with Dartmouth at the FPolo Grounds.

Brown was a favorite to defeat the Colgate eleven in their clash at Providence. New York University had Trinity College of North Carolina as its guest. Rutgers and West Vir- ginia moved on the fleld at New Brunswick, N. J., and Lehigh was op- goled to Lafayette at South Bethle- em.

The champion of Europe and the world champion are scheduled to meet in a match in the world's 18.2 balk- line billiard titular tournament. Horemans will not enter the com- petition with the champion the fa- vorite he was at the beginning of the tournament, for he lost three of four starts. Hoppe has the only clean slate among the seven entrants, hav- ing won all three starts. Another game of interest on the schedule today will be between Wel- ker Cochran and Jake Schaefer, jr. Cochran yesterday broke the world high-run record when he scored 384. The previous record was 308, by Hoppe, made in a match with Coch- ran two years ago. Ora Morningstar and George Sutton meet in the third match of today. Cochran beat Sutton, 400 to 57, inj making his record run, the big count coming In the fourth of five innings. The run of 384 gives Cochran the high average of the present tourna- ment—80. Hoppe two Years ago played a game out with an average of 88, and Sutton has a losing average of better than 59.

The left-handed boxer was outgeneraled and outfought by Young Bowen, an- other local ringman, in the ten rounds of milling that featured the program arranged by Frankie Mann. Bowen easily gained the decision. Three times he sent Ahearn to the floor—twice for counts of nine. All except the first, fourth aend ninth rounds were clearly won by Bowen. His left hand jabs and right upper- cuts and hooks were too much for the| former doughboy. In other bouts, Johnny Eggleston knocked out Sailor Woodman in the fourth round: Kid Bossif got a de- cision over Chuck Rubin in a six- round go, and Jimmy Burke made Lone Wolf quit in the second round.

Dundee undoubtedly will be called upon to defend his title in the near future and George Chaney, who was instrumental in handing it to the ve eran Italian-American boxer, alrea is clamoring for another chance Chaney had the heavier armament last night, but these are the days When armaments are subject to re- duction and the shower of hits which Dundce landed on the Baltimorean more than equalized the healthy wal- lop that Chaney undoubtedly packs in his left mitt. Johnny sprayed Chaney with a shower of Llows throughout the five rounds the contest lasted and could no more miss his mark than a Chinese laundryman dampening a shirt George missed frequently, but always was dangerous as the few blows he landed showed. He reached Dundee effectively but two or three times, but one ‘hlow which landed on the veteran's chest gent him back against the ropes as though he had been kicked by an army mule. Dundee had everything that experi- ence, ring generalkhip and cleverness can give, but Chaney showed a blithe willingness to accept all Johnny had to offer and ask for more. He waded in after his elusive opponent without a backward step and Dundee's hooks, jabs and swings secmed ineffective to check or slow him, although the Bal- timore boy was bleeding from nose and mouth when the referee, Kid Me- Partland, stopped the contest. Chaney has an awkward left heok at close quarters, which starts low and he was warned several times by the referee for hitting low, before the contest was stopped. There is no doubt that the foul blow which ended the match was unintentional. but there is equally little doubt that it landed and that nothing remained for the referce to do but to award the match, belt and title to Dundee. It provided. however, a rather unsatis- factory ending to what promised to be an intercsting battle: with the re- sult in doubt up to the final round. (Copyright, 1821.)

He says that it was an infield through which not only the sunlight percolated, but hundreds of base balls that were rapped in various direc-’| tions. Of course, that is putting it rather high, but Ty makes out a strong case now that the season is over. He let Donie Bush go, and he simply must make a case. Cobb 1s good enough to say that Blue played first base right hand- somely. Ty picked him out in Cali- fornia, and he was talking to Cali- fornia folks when he said it. Blue might have been worse. They had a lot of fun with his name, but even that helped, because it kept some folks good natured. If the Detroit infield can be bullt over Ty thinks he may have a chance to finish somewhere near the top. He got_away from somé of the trouble of Hugh Jennings this year, and it will be noted that whenever a certain citizen has anything to say about Jennings he tells what a world of good Jennings did for New York. There's a reason. Ty and the Glants are not homogenous. Ty has his opinion of them, and they have their opinion of Ty. No exhibition games will be played between the Giants and the Detroits at San Antonio. It's just as well. S8an Antonio has had its trouble with pro- hibition, a flood, discovery of ofl somewhere near the town and a dearth of tourists for the last two vears. Old H. C. L. kept the visitors away. Where Cobb expects to get his new players is something el There are nine clubs in tl? market for a new shortstop, and there isn’t anything short-stopping which looks better than a muley cow. Eight-clubs are likely to be disappointed at once, and the ninth will simply postpone its sorrow. Milwaukee has taken back Harry Clark as manager. He was successful in Milwaukee when he was there be- fore. It is one of the ocoincident facts of base ball that managers who have been successful and who are drbpped tacularly.

It is far better in profes- sional base ball to continue with those who know-the game and have made it what it is than to experiment. It is one sport in which experimentation has proved to be oo WHEN T WRITE ARD TELL MOTHER T wAs THe BEST mMAN AT A WEDDING T'VE GoT A HUN SHE'LL LAUGH! T THINK (TS Not a suggestion has been made even in an unofficial way that the ball should be deadened for 1922 in spite of almost never ceasing rumor to the contrary. The fact is that the con- tract for the making of the ball stands as it has stood since it was drawn years ago. The clamor about changes in the ball comes from those who swallow without hesitation the yarns that emanate from the players in're- gard to the ball. Ball players are suspicious, not all of them are deep thinkers and almost all of them are 'prone to hold everybody and every- thing exocept themselves responsible for bad ball playing.
