STIRRING SITUATION AT BABRINA PASS 6,000 Serbs Hold 20,000 .Bulgars— Give Way and Fall on Enemy Suddenly. Milan, Italy, Nov. 15, via Paris, 4:55 a. m.—An account of the recent fight- ing before Babuna Pass, in southern Serbia, is forwarded by a war cor- respondent of the Corrieri Della Sera. The Bulgarians, he says, were 20,000 strong, the Serbians 6,000. No serious resistance being possible for the Serbians on open ground, they fell back from Veles and Isvor and set up a defense where the road nar- rows near Abdi Pasa at an elevation of 2,000 teet. The 20,000 Bulgarians were gr@uped between Veles and Ba- buna Pass, supported by powerful artillery. The Serbs were hard pressed and for a time it seemed as though they must give way, which would have meant the loss not only of the army but of Mon- astir. The situation was changed, however, by the tactics adopted by the Serblan commander, Col. Vassic. He permitted the Bulgarians to advance as far as the Perlepe road and then fell upon them with all his forces, smashing through their first and sec- ond lines with the bayonet and driv- ing the Bulgarians beyond Kotziak. On the following days the Bul- garians attempted to recapture the lost positions, but the Serbians, though poorly supplied with food and muni- tions, were able to hold them back. ! | | i , HITS NEW HAVEN MAN. ‘While driving his machine with a party of friends through New Haven, en route to the big game Saturday, L.

AVE you noticed the number of good centers produced this season? A few years ago there was a scarcity of I 200od middle men. Last season there ‘Wete a few, while this year there have been a number. Of course they 'are no Ketcham, no man to stand out like the old Yale star. Héweveér, a man like Ketcham is produced once in a decade. Among this season’s stars are McEwan of West Point, Way of Yale, Cool of Cornell, Baxter of Dartmouth, Wallace of Harvard, Gennert of Pripceton and Peck of Pittsburgh. McEwan has played a steady game for the Army’s boys in the early games. He iIs of the rangy type and is all over the fleld. Cool has also put up a bril- liant game for the Ithacans. Many ex- perts say Baxter of ‘Dartmouth is the best center of the year. It is safe to state that he was not outplayed by any of the opposing centers whom he faced in ahe Hanover boys' early contests. Way of Yale has put up a steady game since the opening of the season too. Princeton has no mean middle man in IGennert. This fellow has' certainly played well in all of the Tigers’ games. Experts when sélecting their man for center fon on the mythical All rican team will have no easy task, us there is so much material to select fro; However, one can tell better fi- the big games are over. ' WILLARD Musz: SOON FIGHT. appearance in the ring this winter if he expects to retain any popularity. A new champion whose prowess still is generally doubted cannot afford to remain idle more than a year. Wil- lard’s friends undoubtedly realize this fact and will urge him to meet the best of the present crop,6 of heavies some time during the' winter. Such a battle could be pulled off in Cuba, as was the Johnson contest. The promoters of the race track just outside of Havana are again willing to stage a contest and give assurance-that the attendance will Jjustify the hanging up of a substantial purse for the bout. ‘Willard will have to meet some of the big fellows who have been challenging him, and if Ne is a real champion he should not have much trouble cleaning them up. JACK MUNROE LIVING. JT was reported some time ago that Jack Munroe, the heavyweight pu- gilist, who enlisted in the English army, had been killed in battle, but a recent report from an English sporting paper is to the effect that Jack fortu- nately was not fatally’ injured, but is still llving. The following from the English sporting paper, the News of the World, will prove of interest to Munroe’s friends: ‘Were it not for necessary restric- tions imposed under present conditions a wonderful tale could be told of the heroism of Jack Munroe, the famous S WILLARD, the conqueror of Jack Johnson, will’have to'make his American heavyweight boxer, who twice fought Jim Jeffries when the lat- ter was in his. prime. Smelling ex- citement of the kind he wanted, the Montana miner enlisted in the first de- tachment of Princess Pat's Own to come over from Canada and distin- guish himself on more than one occa- slon at the front until he was severely wounded in July. For some time past he has been at the Red Cross hospital, Netley, slowly convalescing, and that he has survived his injuries he can thank his rugged constitution. He is still partly paralyzed from the effects of his wounds, but he hopes the good care he is now receiving will com- pletely conquer that symptom and re- store him to full health. Munroe is another of the fraternity who has add- ed luster to the profession of boxing during the present hostilities.” ED A NU NEW GREAT FINNISH RUNNER. FUINLAND, which has made rapid strides in athletics since the ad- vent of Hannes Kohlemainen, intro- duces a new phenomenon. He is Elo, a twenty-three-year-old lad who owns all the earmarks of a world beater in the Swedish specialty. In the recent Finnish championships Elo threw the javelin over 200 feet. This mark easily beats the best ever made in this country. Lemming of Sweden has accomplished this mark several times. Elo is five feet seven inches in height and weighs about 135 pounds. Kohlemainen imparted this informa- tion. He translated the summary of the title meet, showing Elo the class in the javelin; Nicklander, the big gun MBER er named Peter Scott, 2:05%, who was sold for $30,000 as a three-year- in the weights, and his brother, Tatu, getting three places in as many dis- tance races. “I got a letter from a friend telling me of the progress of Elo,” said Koly. “He went on to say that in another year he will beat.the world. He is a natural born athlete, and there is no doubt he will hit the 200 foot mark on every start. I believe Elo has designs on making a trip to this country. He has heard a great deal of the hospital- ity to be found here, and he wants to come over and compete for an Ameri- can club.” MURPHY LOSING HIS SENSE? TOMMY MURPHY, the veteran reins- man and owner of trotters and pacers, paid $30,000 last winter for a old in 1913. “Murphy must be losing his good sense,” piped up the “knowing” per- sons in the harness game. ‘“Peter Scott isn't worth $30,000 nor anything near $30,000. Murphy has been ‘trimmed,’ and ‘trimmed’ with his eyes open.” Murphy smiled and said nothing. He just went ahead and entered his new trotter in as many of the 1915 grand circuit races as he could. And Peter Scott to date has won nearly $15,000 in purses for Murphy, and he has about eight or ten more engagements before the season ends. Peter Scott, by maintaining his pres- ent winning record until snow flies, will bring home about $21,000 for Murphy. He's got three or four more years of racing in his legs, and he then can be put in stud. Murphy losing his good sense, eh? AMATEUR BASEBALL DRAWS WELL. PROF'ESSIONAL baseball is far be- hind the amateur game in the mat- ter of attendance at a single contest. In Cleveland recently it is estimated that 100,000 people witnessed an ama- teur game, and a photograph printed in the papers of that city seems to verify the statement. The game was played natural amphitheater at in a great Cleveland. OF GOOD CEN Arrangements have been made for the construction of a mammoth concret” stadium on the site; then if Cleveland ever wins a pennant and gets into a world series there will be ample room to accommodate all the fans who want to see the games. The game in question was the firsv game of the National Amateur jeague series, with the White Autos and Oma- ha Luxus as the contending teams. There was no admission charged. JOHNSON TO LOOK AFTER ATH- LETICS, RESIDENT JOHNSON of the Amer- ican league is soon to take up the case of the Athletics of Philadelphia. It is a foregone conclusion that at least half the stock In this i1l fated ball club will change ownership before next year, The Shibes have become so unpepular that Quaker fans say they must sell out. Connle Mack owns half the club, and he will keep his stock. Presi Johnson 1is one of Mackis eloi friends, and he is eager to help the manager in his present eml . predicament. Nobody seems to know what the Shibes’ holdings are worth. The Ath- letics lost $100,000 this year, it is said, and the club’s future is anything but brilliant. The team ap) to be doomed for several years come. It is believed that Mack awill be pro- vided with new partners.
