The classic event in local sporting circles tomorrow will be staged at St. Mary’s playgrounds when the Nut- megs, champions of Hartford county, will be called upon to defend the title against the All-Manchester eleven. Coming to this city with an excellent reputation, the visitors will make a strong bid to annex the laurels gained by the locals last Sunday from the Ti- gers of Hartford. The visitors enjoy the reputation of being undefeated in two seasons, and no team has been nearer their goal line than the ten yard mark, this season. Manager Clinton has secured Costello the fam- ous Georgetown star to officiate as referee and Johnny Schroeder will be umpire. The kick-off will take place at 2:30 o’clock. After several weeks of discussion and attempts to arrange a game, the managers of the Tigers and the An- nex football teams have finally agreed on terms, and the teams will clash next Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o’clock at Traut’s park. Considerable money will change hands on the outcome of the battle, the supporters of both ag- gregations backing their boys to the limit. Jack Schroeder and Earl Gib- ney, former High school stars, have been selected as officials for this im- portant game. The Tigers will have such stars as Scharff, Fresen, Wright and Schroedel in the coming contest while the Annex will pin their hopes in their strong backfield, Hibbard, Holleran, Bayer and Schneider. A game that is attracting consid- erable attention will be staged at the East End baseball fleld tomorrow morning at 10:80 o’clock, when the Spartans and the Empires will decide the matter of supremacy existing be- tween their followers. Axel Earnest will officiate as referee. HARVARD ADDED TO LIST. Trinity and Army Also on Bowdoin's Football Schedule.

Berlin, via Sayville, Nov. 29.—A German official statement on the air raid on England says one airship was shot down and that another did not return. The statement reads: “On the nights of November 27-28 several German naval cessfully bombed blast furnaces and industrial establishments in middle England. At several places conflag- rations were observed. ‘An airship was shot down by the enemy near Scarborough and another has riot returned, so that it must be considered lost.

One was the brilliant playing of Chic Harley of Ohio State, who not only proved himself to be one of the game’s leading stars, but who also accamplished more for his team than any other individual of the year, with the possible exception of Pollard of Brown.

We were in far bet- ter shape for Colgate than we were for Brown. the two teams are hardly to be taken as complete tests. Brown had a fine eleven, but, in my apinion, Colgate had one of the best teams I ever saw.” Back to Stay. With Tad Jones and ten of his regu- on hand at Eli Town next season, le has come back to stay. Jones, by beating Princeton and Harvard his first season in camp, has proved his rare effectiveness and has shown beyond any debate that Yale at last has found the man she was after to lead her back to the Promised Land. The one man that Jones will lose is Harry Legore, one of his stars, and PRAISE FOR JONES, Captain Black Says Tad Has Essentials of Great Coach. Haven, Nov. 29.—Clinton captain of the Yale eleven. paid the following high tribute in “The Yale Daily News” to Head Coach Tad Jones: “Tad Jones has everything to make him a wonderful coach, He has a personality which cannot be beaten, and the more one comes in contact with him the more one grows closer to him. To me, the one great regret of losing the Brown game was the fact that it was the only game that Tad has lost in four vyears and 1 know how he’ felt. B “I believe that Tad Jones knows more foothall than any other coach in the country, and one great advantage is that he is always ready to learn more. The great part of the season’s success, in my mind, goes to Tad Jones.

Haughton’s work and his long record are toa unusual for one defeat to leave any dent in his fame. Any coach who can hold Yale to one touchdown in nine years needs no further boosting. Crowds. Our blurred memory of a waning sporting season seems to be one of crowds—of rushing multitudes ,of in- numerable folks. Sport is obtaining such a following in this country that new accommoda- tions will soon have to be provided.

As things are at present the players are getting so much money that the profits of thae club owner are almost nil, pionship, where the spectatorial rush was exceptional. After that one of our main recollections of the golf | championship at Merion is swarms of people rushing blindly from one hole to another—of thousands strung out along the course where one could see only every other shot, After that came the World Series, with the baseball attendance record broken—a battle to get through and get a seat—Ilong, waiting lines in the way. After that followed the Yale-Prince- ton game at Princeton and the Yale- Harvard game in the Bowl. Once more the first recollection here is of crowds—of Jammed-in masses, of agres of humanity. All Princeton records were smashed at Princeton. All football New Haven, where 78,000 paid for ad- mittance—and this failed to include the thousand ushers and attendants, Sport's grip, the outdoor, competi- tive call, is developing so swiftly in this country that accommodations are being swamped. Over 200,000 would have gladly paid the price to see the Army-Navy and Yale-Harvard games, but over 75,000 of these had to bhe turned down. A big sporting event today car fill any place at almost any price.

Annapolis, Md., Nov. 29—Thomas G, Fisher, left end of the Naval Academy team which played the Army eleven last Saturday, has been elected cap- tain for next season.

Cubs Fisherman, 1 Peoria, I11., Nov. 29.—Joseph Tinker manager of the Chicago Nationals, narrowly escaped death by drowning yesterday when his boat struck a submerged stump and capsized in the Illinois river. A flsherman pulled Tinker from the water after he had gone down the second time. Tt is belleved Tinker will suffer no ill effects. of Rescued by records were cracked at; Moran in a ten-round affair that was They for as one machine slips “Now that the trouble is over we | will have to return to a sound basis, |one where men who have invested ithelr money in the game stand a | chance of obtaining a fair return. {There will be no renewal of high | salaried ‘‘war’ contracts. The play- | ers must understand that. We will agree on a new contract at the an- jnual meeting of the American Leag’ { here December 14 that will be falr {to all concerned. It will be equitable to the player and to the club owner.” Serious Break Soon. Despite the fact that the player will not report for spring training for three months Dave Fultz's declaration that the players will refuse to sign contracts unless the minor league are i granted various reforms is the most iserious beach that has developed h8- { veloped between club owners and i players since the famous Kraft case tof 1914, ‘ Unless the magnates back down te the players, as they did in the Kraft | case, a strike is certain. Fultz ig no braggart, nelther does he make any !rash statements. He sums up the en- jtire matters in the following words: “There is nothing to it; they (orgag- {ized baseball owners) simply must agree to these requests. Otherwise | the players will not sign.” Viewing the side from both angles, it is hard to see how an open rupture can be avoided. There is reason to { believe that Ban Johnson, who exerts the biggest influence on the national | commission, will welcome the break. Johnson is unalterably opposed to the fraternity and would not dodge an is- sue whereby he might hope to smash it. No one realizes this better than Fultz himself. For that reason he says his strike is only indirectly with the minors, but directly with the na- tional commission. Not a Trivial Matter, Persons who ridicule the possibilt ity of a strike over such a trivial mat- ter as to whether some low salarled minor league players get their ex- penses to their training camp may be reminded that the fratermity set a date for a strike in 1914 over a mat- ter of even less importance. It was whether one individual player (Kraft) obtained employment in a Class AAs or Class A league. ) The only way to avert a strike seems to be for the national commis- sion to use its influence with the na- tional association to have the frater- nity requests granted. However, from present indications, the com- mission has no such intention, SPORTING QUERY. Sporting Editor Herald:— ‘Will you kindly settle the follow- ing bet: A bets B that Yale would de- feat Harvard by at least six points, and B bets that they wouldn't. A claims he won because Yale scored six points while B maintains that he is the winner due to Harvard scoring three points. Answer—There does not appear to be any reason why A should claim he was the winner. Yale won by three points, that is clear, so according to A’s own method of making the bet he is the loser.
