OBER 25, 1915. ATHLETES DID NOT GET SQUARE DEAL Ccunsel for Kiviat and Smith Makes the Allegations New York, Qct. 25.—A statement ‘was issued at the Irish American A. C. last night purporting to be the views | of "the counsel of Abel R. Kiviat and Harry J. Smith, whose registration cards as amateur athletes were can- celled last Thursday by the registra- tion committee of the Mctropolitan as- sociation of the A, A. U. A point was made of the alleged prejudging of the case by Justice Bartow S. Weeks, who aéted as legal adviser of the committce . and Frederick W. Rubien, president of the Metropolitan association. These officials, it is said, demanded that both Kiviat and Smith be advised to turn | in their resignation cards. The coun- sel for the athletes state that when Judge Weeks was asked what interest he had in the matter he answcred that he “knew that both boys were gullty and that if the registration committce dared to exonerate thcm he would at once retire from athletics.” After further emph: ng the idca that Justice Weeks dominated the committee, the statement continued: “Nobody then understood or had the slightest reason to believe that it was anything more than a mere investiga- tion, and that if any charges were to be made in the future these boys wéald be given an ample opportunity to answer them and to defend them- selves., We cnarge, therefore, that the registration committee has been guil- ty of the grossest bad faith in acting as it did in cancelling the registration cards of the accused without prefer- ring any charges against them.” articular exception is taken to the conginuance of the investigation on the second day, when John T. Dooling, one of the counsel for the athletes, was unable to be present and the reg- istration committee was notified of the circumstances. In regard to the. “yel- low ticket” that Kiviat is alleged to have sent to Campbell, the statement continues: ; “Campbell testified that the ‘‘yellow ticket'” was not enclosed in one of the letters which Kiviat had sent him, but that it was in a separate envelope and at it had mysteriously disappeared, e knew not where. It was not until e had ‘taken his seat among the mused crowd of spectators and hatever conscience he has began to prick him that in a moment of re- leather. The game against the Itha- cans forced Harvard to show its abil- | ity and it was evident that there will have to be rapid improvement if Haughton’s men are to battle success- fully in the remaining games of the season. There are at present few of the elements that made last season's | team such a mighty eleven. Also there is much to be learned of de- | fense and a great deal to be studled, apparently, before thera can be a sus- tained attack. Harvard gained many yards Saturday, but there was not the ability to carry the offense through to the coveted touchdown. Yale’s Difficulties. Yale appears to be in hopeless dif- | ficulties The Bluc suffered defeat | in the past, and it has served a re- juvenating influence so that the men have found themselves and waged battle with a determination that brought success. It was thought that the victory of Virginia over the Blue would accomplish a like purpose, but Yale showed Saturday that she had not profited by the lesson and a sec- ond defeat was inflicted by the Wash- ington and Jeffersocn team, which is | not nearly so strong as the one that | faced the Blue last year. An open game was played against Yale and it had the New Haven men bewildered. | The material from which Yale may draw this year is good, but the men seem to be woefully deficient in the knowledge of rudimentary football, and this will prove fatal unless there is some cxcellent coaching before the games with Princeton and Harvard. As a matter of fact, it must begin im- mediately or the Blue will come face to face with another defeat when the cleven lines up asgainst the strong, Colgate team next Saturday. It seems likely that a call for extra coaches will go forth from Yale this week. Pennsylvania, though beaten by the strong Pennsylvania eleven Saturday, showed a better game than hereto- fore, one that gave encouragement for the play during the rest of the schedule which ends with the annual Cornell game on Thanksgiving Day. At Pittsburg Glenn Warner has one of the best elevens in the country, and that the Quakers could hold it to a 14 to 7 score augurs well for at least giving Cornell a hard battle. Improvement was also noted in the game of the West Point - eleven, which won from Georgetown by a score that was only three points less than that which Princeton made against the Washington men. Unlike Yale, defeat seems to have done the Cadets a measure of good. CHICOPEE NO MATCH FOR RED AND GOLD mogse he jumped up and shouted: ‘If you want to know the truth about this miserable affair, I'll tell you; my. wifo burned the slip.’ It is not the first e that 4 'man tried to hide his guilt behind the petticoats of a woman, Irs. Campbell, according to her hus- band, was in a hotcl near by. Way as she not called to add another dash of ‘comedy to that amusing little dra- snown as ‘The Mystery of the Yel- ow Ticket’ 2" It is contended that in the interest of fair play counsel for the defence [should have been allowed to cross-ex- amine Campbell, but by the closing of the investigation they were deprived pf the right to show that his story was Bay State Eleven Goes Down to An Ignominvous Defeat, 48-0—Much Encouragement at Local School. The New Britain High school foof- ball eleven once more demonstrated the fact that he'is oné of the best clevens that has carried the colors of the Blue and Gold in several seasons, when it journeyed to Chicopee, Ma: last Saturday afternoon, and took th cleven representing the school of that city into camp, the final score beinyg 48 to 0. The visitors greatly outweighed their opponents, and before the game had progressed very far it could’ be seen by the supporters of the Bay State team that they were in for fake. The statement also points out hat counsel was “‘unable to get the tatements of witnesses in Troy that ‘ampbell had told them tha® he knew otMing about this matter and that it was all newspaper talk.” If this were khown, would the registration board still believe Campbell in preference to iviat? “This is the first time in the ory of amatcur athletics that the phajrman of the law committee has een"fit to intrude himself in a pro- eeding before the registration com- ittee. Are the public to infer from at fact, are the delegates who elect- d them to believe that the members f this committee are so ignorant or b incompetent that they are unable p perform their duties, to conduct an vestigation? Why did not the chair- f the law committee appear in e Platt Adams case when one of his ubmates was up before the registra- lon committee on similar charzes? fas it because Adams helonged to the New York Athletic club and not to the Fish American Athletic club? “Nor did we ever hear of the presi- ent of the Metropolitan association tergsting himself to such an extent a matter of this kind. Why did he .up to Albany? Was he afraid that atthews and his associates would 2l to perform their supposed duty? ow amatcur athletics misses a man ike the late Jamecs B Sullivan was ever more apparent than at the pres- pnt moment {@¥hen we view this situation as a hole we are firmly convinced that lhese boys have not had a square deal nd that it is our duty to procced fur- her and sce that they get it. ‘What uture course we will pursue will de- hend upon the result of our delibera- ions. It was stated last night that the case vould be appeaicd to the board of ! an&cru of the Metropolitan associa- lon as soon as counsel had time to repare the necessary papers. IGERS AND CORNELL HAVE CLEAN REGORD (Continued from Twelfth Page.) his- use of having to train slowly for ale and Princeton. Cornell's big red m won on its merits and deserves 1 the creqit that the vietory means to haca. THere certainly was little in the me that could give 'assurance to jmson supporters. Harvard played ged football, cven Mahan 'being an der against clean handling of the beating. The backfield of N. B. H. S. worked like a charm, each of its representa- tives scoring at least one touchdown, and Captain Dudack, Dean and Parker made two cach. Parker's ioe was in good working order, he placirz the ball between the posts on all but one attempt after touchdowns, The home team fought valiantly in the first period and succeeded in making the game interesting, but af- ter that it was simply a parade fo: the visitors. Three touchdowns weurc scored in the second period, three were annexed in the third and in the fourth period Captain Dudack ele trified the crowd by a thirty vard run around left cnd for the final count of the day, / The winners played consistently throughout the game, and the line were as formidable as Gibralter. The backfield worked in perfect unison and fumbling was conspiciously absent. Parker at quarterback was a team in himerelf, his handling of the team being of a perefect order and stamps him as one of the leading candidates for the selection as an Ali. Connecticut choice at the end of th: season. The recent overwhelming defeats administered by the home eleven has given the team and its supporters a new lease of life, and the coaches and players now have théir eyes cast on the cha_mplonshlp this fall. As in past years the cry at the school is “Now For Hartford,” and judging from recent performances of both elevens the game between these teams chould prove to be a corker when they clash.- Line up.

The game was for the benefit of 5,000 silverworkers who are out on strike, was arranged by ex-Congress- man T. L. Reilly, and was featured by the fast flelding of Barry and the Springfield mite, Maranville. The latter by his funny antics kept the crowd in excellent humor.

Hong Kong, China, Sept. 1.—As the to the commerce of the Far important gateway East and England’s most stronghold in the Orient, Hong Kong feels the effect of the European war more keenly than most of Emgland's outposts, Being strongly there is every Tcason why an enemy should seek to make Shanghai less | formidable. Ordinarily, ships are permitted to approach Hong Kong Island through two channels which lead into the river harbor. One of these is now closed and the other channel is carefully guarded and swept daily for min Early in the war a Chinese junk was discovered sewing mines in the en- trance to the Inner harbor. There have been constant rumors since then cf the discovery of mine sweepers and other crafi supposed to be in the hire ot England’s enemies, No Movement of Ships. No movements of ships are per- mitted in Hong Kong harbor at night and searchlights constantly play over the waters to locate escaped the vigilant police boats. The lights also wander over the frowning mountains about the harbor entrance on which disappearing guns are con- cealed. An gunboat is the only warship in the port at present, and protection to foreigners who have little faith in the Chinese navy but in ordinary times enjoy the protection of ships belonging to several of the Eu- ropean nations. English Troops Gone. Most of the English troops ordi- narily stationed at Hong Kong are also gone and their duties have been by the English home Hundreds of the Englishmen employed by the various banks, ship- ping concerns and mercantile hou have volunteered for this work so that the regulars mizht go to European battlefields.
