“[O0KING 'EM OVER | INSPORTING WORLD . Just a Line on _Goming Events in Many Places New York, Aug. 21.—New heights in ring finance were reached in the signing of Packey McFarland and Mike Gibbons *o box in this city three “weeks from today. These two glove artists agreed to box ten rounds with- out decision for a purse of $32,500, of which McFarland is to receive $17,500 and Gibbons $15,000. No title will be involved and even though a knockout occur the result will be without championship value. Under the circumstances the pay- ing of $583 per minute to McFar~ Jand and $500 per minute to Gibbons | establishes what is undoubtedly = -a new record in iimited round pugii- ism. Owing to the boxing skill and reputation of these modern ring gen- erals the gate receipts are quite like- ly to exceed by scveral thousand dol- «» lars the purse and other incidental ex- penses but there is nothing in local pugilistic history to warrant the idea that the receipts will approach the figures reached in famous battles of the past. The largest gate receipts ever rec- order at a bout in New York were $66,300 taken in at the Jeffries- Sharkey twenty-five round battle, fought at Coney Island, November 3, 1899, The fight between Jim Corbett and Kid McCoy during the closing days 'of the Horton law, un- der which some of the greatest bouts of modern ring history were fought, netted $56,350 at the gate. Cham- pionship fights in Nevada, Australia, and several other points have drawn larger gates but many famous fight- ers including Nelson, Gans, Britt, Mc- Govern, Fitzsimmons, Ketchel, Jef- <" fries and Corbett risked, and in soms cases lost, their titles before fistic gatherings the receipts from which did not equal the sum set aside for Gibbons and McFarland. 2 The European war has taken its toll in ‘German sports as well as from the other nations engaged in the .8reat conflict. Among the latest re- ports from Berlin, is one to the effect that the annual fAll races of the Ger- man Motorboat club, usually held on the Muggelsee, near Berlin, have been cancelled. The fact that many mo- torboat owners with their craft have joined the Volunteer Motorboat | corps, and the necessity of saving “gasoline are the reasons assigned. This cancellation of the races for | the second time deals the motorboat sport a heavy blow, for there has besn nothing along this line since the Bai- tiegea: trip_of ‘the Imperial? Motor Yacht club in June 1914. The ciub in ‘announcing the cancellation, says _that nothing is planned for the im mediate future, An intersectional return match be- tween the racquet stars of the Pacific and Atlantic coasts appears to b @ certainty. The eastern tennis play ers are keen to meet their western conquerors again believeing that they can retrieve on grass the hon- | ors lost on the asphalt courts of the | ~far west. The National.association | officials are planning to stage tho | matches at Forest Hills, L. I. follow ing the National Champsionship tour- nament. Baseball under big league system will be played in Cuba next season. | The new organization will be known | “as the Federal league and in the future the game will be governed in the same manner as.it is in tho | United States. A National Com. mission, umpires, contracts and all the appurtances of big league base- ball will figure in the Cuban organ- . ization in the future. 3 = I The members of the Syracuse Uni- | versity football team will be able o ! qualify as veteran globe trotters when | the 1915 gridiron season has ended. | No eastern college cleven of recent | years has faced as many and as long Jumps as the Orange schedule calls | for this Fall, with a season which hegins at home on September 25 and | ends at Portland, Ore.,, on December | 1.

Hi big circuit debut was made against the Detroit Tigers and although he allowed six hits he was only defeated 2 to 2 afer a close game.

Within the next few weeks the initial games of the season will be played and each succeeding Saturday witness a steadily increasing schedule of contests until the crest of the sport is reached late in November and the play declines to the final matches of early December. Not since the days of the seventies, when American intercollegiate football was born, has there been an autumn which held forth as much in the way of gridiron activity as that of 1915. According to the official schedule pre- pared by the rules committee close to 8,000 games will be played by the lead- ing college and school teams of the United States between September 18 ind December 4. During this period of a trifle less than eighty days there will be more than one thousand games between the elevens of the principal universities and colleges and twice that many con- tests among the leading high school and preparatory academies. Games are scheduled for every day in the week except Sunday and if evenly di- vided between Monday and Saturday would average close to forty per day. The honor of opening the season falls to four Pennsylvania institutions, for the Carlisle Indians play Albright and Bucknell meets Bloomsburg Nor- mal school in the initial games of the autumn on Saturday, September 18. One week later the activity will spread to scores of lime-marked fields, for more than one hundred teams play the opening games of their schedules, in- cluding Harvard, Princeton, Dartmouth, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia Vanderbilt, Oberlin, Colo- rado, Oregon and many other eastern; western and southern eleven: Cornell will not begin play until the final days of the month, but Saturday, October will see the leading uni- versity and college teams of all sec- tions lining up in contests, some of which can hardly be classed as pre- liminary games Princeton will meet Rutgers, whose team has been looking forward to this match for almost a year. The day will also mark the debut of the United States Military and Naval academy elevens against Holy Cross and Georgetown respec- Still other teams to take the field for the initial games include I1- linois, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Texas, Nebraska, Mississippi and Missouri.

Warned of Chiel Danger By Henry Clews (Special to the Herald ) New York, Aug. 21.—The loss of the Arabic caused a sharp drop in the market on Thursday when it was realized that this threatened a fresh and dangerous cCrisis in our relations with Germany. In one form oOr another, the contipues to dominates financial af- fairs here. Although we have suc- ceeded in being strictly neutral in our actions, our foreign and domestic trade, our foreign exchange and secur- ity markets as well as our banking arrangements have all been deranged more seriously and more fundament- ally than at any time since the Civil war—if not even more than during that great crisis. If the disorganiza- tion has been extraordinary, so, too, have been the energy and ability with which it has been met and overcome. This country has exhibited industrial strength and financial capacity far be- yond all expectations. The conse- quence is we are facing a future in which the chief danger lies in an ex- cess of optimism. We are far more likely to suffer from too much activ- ity, too much confidence and too uch speculation than too little. Evi- dently we are liable to run into a period of excessive inflation, the dan- ger of which I hope is fully recog- nized by those who control our bank- ing system. We are now the only firstclass commercial power whose re- sources are not being wasted by war, and, while all other great trading and industrial nations are rushing madly into losses which it will require years to overcome, and some of which never will be recovered, the United States is steadily augmenting its resources and preparing itself for a new era of ex- pansion in both domestic and foreign trade. When the war is over, it will be found nations' will have vastly changed. Germany will require years for recuperation. So, too, will Bel- glum and parts of France. Russia and Ttaly may feel the consequence less seriously than the countries just mentioned, while Great Britain will feel the injuries least of all the bellig- erents. But the United States re- mains the only great power in the world that will or ever can, benefit from this tragic struggle. In esti- mating our bus central fact that gotten Forcign Exchange Upset. Attention in financial circles once more been concentrated on for- eign exchange. Sterling dropped to 4:64, the lowest on record. This means o shrinkage of nearly 5 per cent sterling exchange, compared with about 17 per cent. in French ex- about 12 per cent. in German hange and per cent. in Italian decline in sterling would gone still further had it not heen made known that the British govern- ment was taking active steps for pro- tecting its credit in this market. The situation in exchange was rapidly be- coming more acute by knowledge that the time was approaching when the excess of exports over imports, which is at the bottom of the present ex- change c would become still more formidable. Some stable settle- ment of Europe’s debt to the United States is imperative. Qur creditors may talk about sending us another 250 to 300 millions of gold, but they can poorly spare it and we do not want it, our present stock being huge as to be embarassing, if not posi- tively dangerous as an inflationary element. To us such a proposal does in line with good finance, It would seem as if the only practical way of adjustment was the selling of British short term notes or honds in British holders cannot be induced to part with any further important amounts of Ameri- can securities. Efforts to raise loans by pledging British collateral seem thus far unsucce nor ‘have any of many other attempts to re-establish Brit- ish credit offercd much promise. The simplest and in some respects the best plan is for Great Britain to place g ort term note or bond issue on this side. Should the rate or condi- tions made satisfactory, there is little doubt the Ioan would be taken.
