New Haven boxing promoters, al- leged and suspected, should be ten- dered a vote of thanks, by local box- ing fans. As far as is known, they have not arranged a single set of al- leged fights for this week. We class this as mythtcal Christmas present. Major leagues will cut the number of reporters’ passes to be issued, which means a 1ot of city and county officials will have to pay their way In. Ohio people will have to wait for | lessons in the latest dances. Johnny ! Kilbane and Freddy Welsh have each postponed bouts booked for Ohio cities. We could understand it if Freddy Welsh sprained an ankle, but how he ever sprained a wrist is a mystery. One is led to believe that instead of running away he actually struck an opponent. “Things have changed mightily.” Charley Weeghman, waiter not so many years ago, is to buy the Chicago Cubs. ’tis reported. Howard Jones, Yale football star of 1905-6-7, was signed vesterday as coach’ of the University of Iowa foot- ball team. His contract is for five and a half years, beginning Febru- ary 1, 1916. Jones has coached at Yale, Syracuse and Ohio State. He will succeed Jesse Hawley as coach at Towa, City. Fans who attended the six day bike race in New York say they were more exhausted than the riders. They wore themselves out grabbing for their ‘watches. Surgeons have just operated on Joe Tinker's “innards.” Pretty soon the haseball peace committee will operate on Joe’s $12,000 a year Federa] con- tract. Baseball peace will mean a big sav- ing in stage money. There won’t be any Fed league magnates to raise mil- lion dollar war funds. Jack Dillon says he will not only give Coffey.or Moran 25 pounds, but a good beating. Ban Johnson says he will stop barn- storming in the American league. However, Frank Bancroft, champion | fixer of barnstorming trips, is in the National league. Batting alone will not pants, according to figures on 15 {leagues. Only two teams that led in | i hitting won flags. St. Louis, of the National; Denver, of ‘the Waestern, and Terre Haute of the Central, each | |led in batting and finished fifth m’. gemes won and lost. Waco, of the Texas, and Olean, of the Interstate, led in both departments. The aver- | age of the heaviest hitting teams in standing was third and the average batting strength .273. win pen- It is reported that the Yankees have entered the field of those bidding for the services of Benny Kauff of the Brookfeds and' leading Federal league batter. Tt is said that negotiations already have been opened and that | the officials of the New York Ameri- can league baseball club have offered in the vicinity of $10,000 for a con- tract with the Ty Cobb of the former Feds. Jimmy Dunn, manager of Johnny Kilbane, featherweight champion of the world, was fined $50 and costs by Judge Thompson in common pleas court at Elyhia, O., yesterday. He admitted having assaulted J. P. Gar- vey, former Cleveland newspaper man, and manager of Glilbert Yankee, Cleveland boxer, in this city about two months ago. It is almost pathetic to see Christy Mathewson's name so far down in the ranking of the National league pitch- ers. If some one will put Matty's shoulder in' shape for next season, it will please legions of fans in all cities of the National circuit. He has been such an admirable type of ball player that they would like to see him keep in the game, NEW COLLEGE UNIO! Harvard, Dartmouth and Trinity in Association Favoring Summer Bali. An intercollegiate student organiza- tion, with membership already includ- ing Michigan, Harvard, Dartmouth, Trinity, Syracuse, Illinois and De Pauw, has been formed to bring about the' abolition -of - the. - intercollegiate summer baseball rule. The new as- soclation aims at purging intercol- legiate athletics of the fraud and hy- ‘pocrisy which now exist, the exten- sion of the intramural departments of | all universities so that every able- bodied man may participate in some form of. outdoor sport and the subor- dination of the business side of inter- collegiate sport to the educational | side. The new organization already has presented its views to the Harvard- Yale-Princeton eligibility commiittee, asking for the abolition of the present summer baseball rule. The unofficial attitude of that board is said to bLe favorable to permitting college men to play professional ball during vacae - tions under the direction of the prop- er university authorities. BENNIE KAUFF WANTS TO BECOME A GIANT Brooklyn Players May Withdraw Suit Against New York Club. Benny Kauff of the Brooklyn Fed- eral League club, who led the inde- pendent organization last season in batting and base running, hurried to New York as soon as he heard the rumors about baseball peace, and is now in this city in seclusion. Kauft was at his home in the West when he heard of the proposed amalgama- i tion of the leagues, and he at once to play with the Giants. Tt is believed that Kauff's princi- pal reason for coming here take some immediate action concern- ing the suit which he was pending against the Giants. When he was signed by Manager McGraw last sum- mer Kauff claimed that he was offered a bonus of $5,000 for signing. When Kauff was prohibited from playing by President John K. Tener of the Na- tional League the New York club re- garded the deal as null and void. Kauff, through his attorney, John M. Ward, the former Giant player, then brought suit to recover the amount of the bonus. The case is still pending. Benny it is under- stood, has had several conferenc with his counsel and some action re- garding the suit may be expested | soon. Kauff has told his friends that the | ambition of his life would be realized if he could play under Manager M Graw on the Giants. He wore the was disappointed when he had to go back to the Brookfeds. If Kauff has any say in the matter he will play with the Giants next sea- son, in the event of peace being de- clared between the leagues. ‘When McGraw saw him play a year ago he did not hesitate to say that was the most promising ball player he had ever seen. Kauff’s performance last season bears out McGraw’s prediction. Kauff has had no conference yet with the officials of the New York club, notwithstanding there was a re- port yesterday that Kauff had signed with the Giants for five years. Sec- retary Foster denied that there was any truth in the rumor. BOOSTING AMERICA. Washington, D. C., Dec. 22.—Up- wards of 230,000 tourists visited the great national parks of the far west this year. Last year the total was but about 80,000. Of course, the San Francisco exposition drew many east- ern visitors who, enroute to the Pac- ific coast, stopped to see Amerlca’s scenic wonders. It is true, however, that practically vigorous administra- tion of the national parks by the sec- retary of tne interior, with the direct purpose of encouraging ‘‘See America First” movement, did much to en- large the number of Americans who chose to spend a part of their vaca- tion thus. Methods of access to the principal parks have been improved and the accommodations available to tourists, whcther they prefer luxury or go to ‘“rough it” have been ex- saw a chance to realize his ambition | was to New York uniform for a brief time at | the Polo Grounds last summer and | lines. panded. Another big season for the parks is expected next season and plans are under way to offer visitors still better traveling and living facil- ties. DENY DESERTIONS. Bulgarians Refute Reports Their Troops Have Gonc Over to Allies. Berlin, Dec. 22.—The Overseas News Agency says official denial has been made at Bulgarian army headquarters of French and Euglish newspapers to French and English newspapers to the effect that soldiers of the 11th and 14th Bulgarian regiments ‘had deserted and gone over to the allies. Among other items given out by the news agency is one to the effect, that, according to word received in Constantinople from Bagdad, there has been found in a building there formerly occupied by the Russian consul general secret correspondence exchanged between him and Persiaus, who plotted overthrow of the con- stitutional regime in Persia. FOUR MEN MI! NG. Twenty-five Others Hurt by Explosion at Corn Refining Co’s Plant. Edwewater, N. J., Dec. 22.—Two men are missing and twenty-five oth- ers were injured by an eplosion yester- day in the Dextrine plant of the Corn Products Refining Company at Shady- side, two miles from here. The roof of the building was blown off, the walls collapsed and fire start- ing from the explosion, swept through the wreckage. MORE BRITISH GOLD HERE. New York, Dec. 22.—The steamship Californian of the Anchor Line ar- rived here last night from Glasgow and Liverpool with $2,600,000 in gold in her strong room and an unknown amount in a square ' wooden case marked ‘“British treasury notes.” She brought over twenty-four first class passengers.

B ——— R A NEW SERVICE. Coast Guard Now Includes Revenue Cutter and Life Saving Service. ‘Washington, D, C., Dec. 22.—The revenue cutter service and the life saving service were consolidated into the United States coast guard and transformed into a military organiza- tion last winter. The new service will be a valuable unit of hardened, trained seamen in time of war. In the last twelve months, during part of which the service was separately operated in the old way, nearly 11,000 people were sccued from periol and property amocunting to over $11,000,- 000 in value was saved. The reorganization insures more efficient administration along military Retirement provisions are in- troduced which will develop a higher standard of personnel both among men and officers. At every danger point and thickly populated place along the Atlantic coast, the Gulf of Mexico, the Pacific coast, Alaska and the Great Lakes, the new coast guard is on constant watch. The work is done from both shore stations and cruising ‘‘cutters’” and involves a multitude of activi- ties. The latter now include the ice pa- trol in the North Atlantic, by which all vessels having wireless are warned of the location of dangerous ice; warnings to vessels in danger; medi- cal attention to sick and injured; re- covery of bodies cast up by the wa- ters; aiding vessels in distress; de- struction and removal of wrecks, der- elicts and other vessels dangerous to navigation; protection of the customs revenue; enforcement of the quaran- tine and neutrality laws; suppression of mutiny on merchant vessels; pro- tection of game, seals and other fish- eries in Alaska.
