Waterbury, Nov. 24.—One of the greatest crowds that has ever gather- ed to witness a boxing exhibition in this state, is expected to be present at the Auditorium tomorrow evening, when the 15-round battle for the Middleweight title will be contested hetween “Silent” Martin, Al Sibberns’ wonderful mute battler and the new “Al"” McCoy the present holder of the title. The bout will be the second champlionship event to be held with- in the confines of the Nutmeg State. Matchmaker George F. Mulligan has made all arrangements for the bout. Interest in eastern Connecticut is growing daily in the mill, and sporis in Hartford and New Britain are ex- pected to attend in large numbers. The management has made provision 'for taking carc of these sports by | sccuring a special train which leaves Hartford at 6:30 o'clock, stopping at various places along the route. Johnnie Drummie of Jersey City, has arrived in this city to complete his training for his 10-round bhout with Chick Brown of New Haven.

Nov. 24.—The make up of the Army football eleven which will meet the Navy at New York next Saturday will be de- termined during the practice here oday. Knight, the fast “Plebe,” Is putting up a good fight for left guard against O'Hare, the veteran. Knight at 192 pounds is outweighed by O’Hara by one pound. Neyland has entirely recovered from his injury and is almost cer- | tain to start at left end next Sat- | urday. Redfield, Tully and Britton | are having a close race for the other end position, with Redfield ap- parently having the call. Gerhardt appears to be leading the candidates | for quarterback, with Murrill second choice. There appears to be a general air of confidence among the squad con- cerning the outcome of the game with the Navy. Navy's football squad again will have secret practice this afternoon. The coaches still are undecided as to whom they will place in four of the positions when the team lines up against the Army Saturday. In con- sequence they have not been able meet its old rival.

Youthful Billiardist Clicks Off Run of 308 in Game With Cochran. New York, Nov. 24.—Playing in his best form, Willle Hoppe estab- lished a world’'s high run record last night in the final match of the first national handicap 18.2 balkline billiard tournament at the New York Theater Building Concert hall. The national champion ran 308 points in his match with Welker Cochran, whom he defeated by the overwhelm- ing score of 500 to 18. As Cochran was allowed 200 by handicap his offi- cial score was 218. The best previous high run record was 307 made by Hoppe against the late Jake Schac- fer in the all-star tournament at Chicago in 1906. The fact that Hoppe won the tour- nament was only incidental to his remarkable record-breaking perform- ances, as patrons of the game con- ceded his superiority on the opening night, when he ran 278 and averag- ed 83 2-6. Hoppe left few grains of comfort for the other five players, for he not only won the tournament without the loss of a game, but also made the high run and avera- age from the scratch mark and em- phasized the fact that he stands alone in the professional billiard world, and he will probably hold his enviable position for many years to come. BARACA BOWLING LEAGUE. The members of the Methodist Bar- aca class will meet Wednesday ev ning at the Aetna Bowling Alleys, Church street promptly at 7:30. Four teams are to be organized in the class and will bowl this winter. Suit- able prizes will be awarded to the winning team, also for high scores. A great deal of interest has been manifested and it is expected that other organizations in the church will put in teams also. BASTON MINNESOTA CAPTAIN. Minneapolis, Min., Nov. 24.—Albert Baston of Hopkins, Minn., for the last two years left end of the Univer- sity of Minnesota football team, was Williams, a Yale man, ties Thanksgiving—1915.

Frank Hinkey—That he was retired Lefore Harvard came along. doesn’t it's all Yale can’t discover any good Yale coaches, but Sharpe, a Yale man, wins the championship of the East: for the championship of the West; Stagg, a Yale man, finishes well up with poor material, and Donahue, a Yale man, runs second in the Southern cham- pionship. The Return of Doyle. Last spring John McGraw was on the verge of cutting Larry Doyle adrift for poor batting. From a great hitter Larry had dropped two years in succession deep into the rut, Then, just as he was supposed to be slipping from the cast, he returns and leads the league in batting by five points. Doyle and Fritz Maisel get more fun out of baseball than any two others In the game, always barring Hans Wagner, who even enjoys July doubleheaders in 8t Louis, which leaves them entitled to all the boosts at hand. Half the critics gave that first muffed punt to Bingham, of Yale, and the other half gave it to Van Nos- trand. The gentleman who didn't make the muff, but was so charged, can render thanks to the unsports- manlike policy of a university in failing to number the men. Merkle Lucl Fred Merkle had his usual luck season. One more hit, one more ss, or one more sacrifice would have put him up in the .300 crowd. Whenever Unkempt Fate runs out of a target he fires a broadside in Merkle's direction just for old time's seke.

Last season there were exactly 25 ball players registered in the National league.

All arrangements have been com- pleted for the annual clash between the alumni teams representing the Hartford o'clock. Considerable rivalry is at- tached to the game, each eleven be- ing bent of breaking the tie that exists from past games, and it is the | firm belief of the followers of both elevens that this will be accomplished.

Not for ten years have the three met for a like discussion. In December, 1905, representatives from Harvard, Yale and Princeton got together and drew up the agreement under which the athletics at the three institutions now are run. Dean McClenahan, chairman of the Princeton committee which will participate in the confer- ence, said when interviewed today: “The representatives of Princeton, Yale and Harvard seemed to feel that some further discussion of our gen- eral athletic relations was not only but necessary. Extension , or to This conference is for the purpose of discussing all questions of athletic relations and athletic conduct among the three universitics, of which questions of eligibility only a part.” Yale is expected to ask for a vote on the question of the eligibility of Easton, Legore, Pumpelly and Rhett, the men who for accepting board while playing summer baseball were declared ineligible under the present rule. Dean McClenahan would not discuss the possible result of this vote other than to start that probably Yale will vote in the negative if a rein- statement of the players is proposed The representatives of the three universities at this conference will be chosen from the committees which control the various sports within the individual colleges. Yale's representatives will be Prof. Robert Corwin, chairman of the ath- letic committee; George P. Day, treasurer, and Henry Hobson of the executive committee; John Field, football; George (‘ase, baseball; Fred Eric Allen, rowi'g; and John Kilpat- are | | | | | Dufry vesterday and the gross returns to the Harvard Athletic association will be close to $125,000. The expenses of» the football team will amount to $30,- 000 or $35,000, leaving a net profit from this year's team of more than $85,000. More than 165,000 persons saw the Harvard team in action this season, The record crowd was at the Yale game last Saturday, when 9,000 persons paid $98,000 to attend the game. The second largest crowd was at the Princeton-Harvard game a Princeton, N, J., when 30,000 person paid $60,000 to witness the contast. The Harvard-Brown game attracted 20,000 persons and the Cornell and Penn State games both drew a gate of 15,000. In defence of an established sys- tem for coaching football players, Mr, Haughton said “I have heard it said that Shevlin, of Yale, disparaged the football sys-” tem. Without reference to either Shevlin or myself, I think I may say that the result of Saturday's game speaks plainly in favor of a system and shows the value of established channels through which the players are forced before they come to their big games." % ) LEWIS KNOCKS OUT DUFFY Boston, Nov. 24.—Ted Lewis, a British boxer, knocked out Jimmy of Lockport, N.
