Only three weeks be fore he triumphed at Atlantic city. It was in the amateur championship at Detroit that Marston probably made his best showing. Having the championship almost in his grasp, he missed a short eighteen inch putt that would have given him the match with Gardner and put him in the final. Marston has proved himself an ideal match player. He does not care about breaking records in qualifying rounds, being content to save his en- ergy for his opponents later on. CORNELL REFUSES ! TO PLAY PITTSBURG | Eleven Out of Training and Faculty Objects, Is Ithaca’s Answer to Challenge. Pittsburg, Pa., Dec. 2.—There will be no post-season game between the football teams of Cornell: and University of Pittsburg. Cornell has declined the challenge issued by Pitts- burg for a contest to decide the East- ern championship and all hopes of bringing the elevens together have been abandoned. Cornell’s refusal to accept the challenge was made known in this dispatch received this afternoon: “University of Pittsburg’s challenge for a post-season game to decide the Eastern football championship will not be accepted by Cornell. Gradu- ate Manager Kent said yesterday that the Cornell team was out of training and furthermore the faculty commit- tee on student affairs would not per- mit a football contest after Thanks- giving Day.” Pittsburg football men will continue to hold that Pittsburg is superior to Cornell. Pittsburg won all of its eight games, scoring 247 points, an average of about 31 points a game. Cornell scored 287 points in nine games, an average of about 32 points. Only 29 points were scored against Pittsburg, while 50 were scored against Cornell. Pittsburg beat Pennsylvania 14 to 7, and Cornell won from that team 24 to 9. Cornell’s Answer. Cornell’s refusal to meet Pitts- burg in a post season football game is due to the fact that their team has broken training. This alone is sufficient reason why the game should not be played, the Cornell athletic au- thorities state. Moreover, the fac- ulty will not consent to such a game on neutral grounds after the regu- larly ratified schedule has been com- pleted. ‘While Pitt has been training since her last game with Penn State, as stated in the challenge received by Cornell, the Red and White players broke the rules following the §Penn game in Philadelphia on Thanksgiv- ing Day.

London, Nov. 29.-—The appointment of a prominent suffragist leader, Miss Pressley Smith, as an assistant secre- tary in the British legation at Chris- tiania is a departure in British policy and a tribute to the work of British women in the war. When the cam- paign®for suffrage was being waged kefofe the war, Sir Edward Grey de- clared himself a supporter of equal rights for the sexes, and several mem- Lers of Parliament asked if the wminister of foreign affairs would Gare ‘to show the courage of his convictions by appointing women to the diplo- matic service. A practical answer to l{le question has now been given. Norway itself was the pioneer nation in this movement, having a woman sccretary of legation on its own diplo- matic roll. . Miss Pressley Smith has been the crganizer of the National Union for Suffrage in Edinburgh for the last two and a half years, and since the war began has shown fine organizing ability in the management of societies ior the relief of soldiers and sailors, and their families. Prominent ad- vocates of the woman’s movemeit huve been urging the government to oren the higher branches of the civil service to university women and have urged their suitability for diplomacy. There is no doubt that Miss Smith will be persona grata in Norway, since ‘that is a suffrage country, where women are eligible to all branches of the public service, except the army and the church. Miss Pressley Smith was one of a and of women who went into the flelds as berry pickers to obtain first hand knowledge of the conditions Norway. I | | | J., Dec. 2.—Joseph | Under which women worked.

Yale Navy May Be Shifted From New Haven to Derby. 2 New Haven, Dec. 2.—A transfer of the headquarters of the Yale navy from New Haven to Derby, eight miles away, is indicated as a probabil- ity by the announcement last night that the Yale Rowing committee has reported favorably on a four-mile course on the Housatonic river as a substitute for the present course on New Haven harbor. The shift in crew quarters will probably be made this winter, and, according to present plans, will entail the transfer on barges of the Adee boathouse, erect- ed at a cost of $100,000 several years ‘ago as a memorial to George Adee, a | former Yale oarsman, who died re- cently. The change of crew quarters has been nrged principally because of un- favorable weather conditions on New Haven harbor, which have retarded the work of the Blue crews. The new course lies just below the city of Derby. At that point there is little current, and rough water is excep- tional- It can be reached from New Haven by trolley in twenty-nine minutes. ANOTHER FIASCO. Elm City Fans Get Stung Again When Gans Quits to Bartfield in Fourth. New Haven, Dec. 2.—Italian Joe Gans quit cold in his fight last night | with Soldfer Bartfield and was count- ed out in the fourth round by Referec Dave Fitzgerald. Because of the small house Gans was at first unwill- ing to enter the ring and the bout was announced as shortened from fifteen to ten rounds. Gans appeared in poor condition, but was not badly punished. ‘Willie Brown, the former bantam c¢hampion of the navy, fought a clev- | er cight-round draw with Benny Mc- Coy, bantam champion of the south. Neither boxer was badly punished. Joe Currie, bantam champion of New Haven county, was given a decision in a six-round bout over Pepper Mar- tin of Brooklyn. The New Haven Athletic club, which staged the bouts | lost heavily in the venture. MATT WELLS BEATEN, Johny Griffiths of Akron, O., won in fairly easy fashion from Matt Wells | former English champion, at Akron | O., Monday night in their twelve- round bout. Wells did not get started | until the last three rounds of the fight and then found that Griffiths was there with every shift of attack. Griffiths’ left reached Wells almost at | will during the first nine rounds. BRAVES SHY .300 HITTERS.

One day last summer late in the sezson we advanced the opinion that Ruck Herzog was a shortstop to be rated with Maranville and Bancroft. Loud and prolonged laughter fol- lowed. But the records show that Herzog accepted more chances than any other shortstop in his league— and, having accepted more chances, finished second to Wagner in the way cf fielding average. ‘What makes a good shortstop if it ien't ability to go and get ‘em? Valuable Athlete. Herzog is a far better ball player than he is generally ranked. He has a fine bean, and there is no better hustler in the game. He ranked with the best third basemen of his time, and now, shifted to short, is doing even better work. He isn't the great- est hitter in the realm, but at that he outbatted Maranville and Bancroft, rated as the two Wagnerian succes- | sors. “Only 600,000 golfers in U. Johnny Anderson.

The game will be the fecond mecting of the elevens this season, they having played a score- less tie last Sunday, after one of the hottest battles cver witnessed on & local gridiron. It is expected that an- other mammoth crowd will be on hand to witness the game. Both teams have kept in hard prac- tice for the coming game, and a bate tle roval rhould be the outcome. Offi= cials from Yale, Wesleyan and Trin- ity are being communicated with te handle the game. Neither eleven is satisfied with the outcome of last Sunday's game, as both are confident of the superior prowess of each other.
