Les Darcy, the Australian middleweight champion, was a spectator at the Broadway Sporting Club of Brooklyn yesterday afternoon, as Billy Miske, the St. Paul light-heavyweight, administered a sound drubbing to George (Knockout) Brown of Chicago in the feature ten- round bout. Brown has earned con- siderable reputation because he car- ried Darcy through two stiff twenty- round bouts in Australia, and at the conclusion of yesterday’s matinee the Australian was liberal in his compli- mentary remarks anent Miske's abll- ity.

Like his accom- plished parent, “Young Jake"” is de- veloping a wonderful stroke and under the tutelage of Willie Hoppe is absorbing knowledge rapidly. It is freely predicted that Schaefer will be the next champion, but that is still a long time off, as Hoppe is good enough to retain the title for a num- ber of years.

Kansas City, Mo., Jan. 2.—Sam Langford of Boston got a referee's decision over Jim Johnson of New York at the end of a twelve-round bout here yesterday afternoon.

Baseball. The National league has produced four different pennant winners in the last four years—New York, in 1913; Boston, in 1914; Philadelphia, in 11915, and Brooklyn, in - 1916—the ! first time In baseball history that ail | four clubs from one section each bag- | ged a successive flag. The American ileague has been a different - affair, with thé Red Sox supreme since the | Mackian collapse. { Through the last two months of the race last season the two strong- est clubs In their respective leagues were the Red Sox and the Giants. ; So for 1917 these two clubs will draw the advance favor. The Giants are not invincible, but the club Mec- Graw gathered together in the last five weeks was on the borderland of invincibllity in its own circuit, as the September clean-up shows. The West, so far, has little in sight to stop New York. And Boston, Brook- lyn and Philadelphia lack the stuff to overthrow the Giants, as the evi- dence stands now. The Red Sox with Ruth, Shore and Leonard, all young pitchers, and with such alds as Jack Barry, Duffy Lewis, Harry Hooper, Everett Scott and Larry Gardner, will be as‘'hard to beat in 1917 as they were in 1916 and 1916. TUnless Jennings can dig lup at least two good pitchers be- yond his present stable the Tiger at- tack isn’t going'to overthrow the Red Sox defence. This race will again find New York, Chicago and St Louis hammering away at the crest, but all three will need improvement to insert the skids beneath Boston and Detroit. Ny As the general situation unfurls it- self just now, Red Sox and Giants are likely enough to be 1917 world series contenders. ! Pulling in. Sir: resolution this time, and T intend to keep it.

YONKER JACK. “Wood for baseball bats is now growing scarce.” What if it is, with ! the Red Sox still permitted to carry around Shore, Leonard and Ruth— or Ruth, Leonard and Shore? At that, it's close to even money that Cobb and Speaker could bat over .300 without the old ash furniture in tow. On the Nearest Tree.

Tn April 1915, Jess Willard weighed 240 pounds, ringside. In March, 1916, he weighed 260 pounds, ring- side, after training over six weeks. Query: For 1917 can any champion weight over 280 pounds and still be active enough to defend his title? Answer: Very likely, yes. But Jess will never defend his title in 1918 if the 24-fooe ring |is still to be considered in the prelim- ,inary details.

PENNISBEATENAT = THER OWN GAME | Oregon Shows Folwell's Men, | Something About Forward Pass Pasadena, Cal, Jan. 2.—Outplayed at their own spectacular style of open-field play, outgeneraled in the use of the famous forward pass, in" which they were _expecv.ed to prove adept, the Pennsylvania eleven went down to defeat mere yesterday, 14 to 0. at the hands of Oregon in the season’s biggest intersectional football contest. The Red and Blue team was not disgraced. For, three-fourths of the game it kept the ball in Oregon's territory. Penn even held the great smashing line drives of the big tim- i bermen, and three times had the ball within seven yards of Oregon's goal, but the effort wore them dowir. The big-limbed youths from the East could not withstand the severe tax imposed on them, and when it became necessary to use every ounce of reserve strength to withstand the terrific onslaughts hurled at them they withered. and it was then that Oregon outdid them. e’ Not only forward passes but a brilliant double forward pass, care- fully and cleverly executed, scored the first touchdown for Oregon at, the close of the third period. Penn &S] tried hard to avert another score in 4 § LIGHT Grantland Rice Batteries for the first world series game: For New York, Schupp and McCarty; for Boston, Ruth and Thomas.

BASEBALL SOLONS MEET National . Commission Gathers in Cincy to Discuss Baseball Legisla- tion—Magnates Evince Interest. Cincinnati, - Jan. 2.—Baseball men from almost every part of the coun- try began gathering here last night for the annual meeting of the Na- tional Baseball commission A today. ‘While! the commission meeting has:* bheen called for 10 a. m,,'it is highly probable 'that it will be hours later before the supreme court of baseball really begins its work, inasmuch as there has been a special meeting called of the clubowners of the three Class AA leagues, which has as an indicated object the adoption of a | suitable resolution for presentation to the commission asking that the draft- ing of players from Class AA leagues | be abolished. While nothing official has been an- !nounced by the commission as to yhow it will look upon this demand, | yet it has been unofficially indicated il)y President Johnson of the Ameri- !can league that the request would be denied. That the Class AA league men intend to press the matter with energy is indicated by the special meeting called for tomorrow. It is probable that a large number of the major league magnates will be in attendance as number of other matters that have to do with the re- lation beeween the major and minor league clubs are believed to be on the list of metters to be considered by’ the commission. | § | the last period, but was beaten backe" and Parsons of Oregon, after making a run down the fleld of 39 yards, was pushed over the line for the West- erners’ second touchdown.

While Penn still kept Oregon at bay, the psychologichl effect of that setback was never ovér- come, although Penn had ample chance to score. Nine times in successfon toward the" close of the game, the Easterners tried the forward pass, but never could the receiver make any head- way. Mitchell, Tegert, Bartlett, the two Huntingtons, and Parsons all lived up to their reputations, which, made them the most feared players, in the Pacific Coast conference. For. Penn. Berry was the same daring, ! spectacular back, and Miller even ex: ceeded the great star. Bell was equad- ly prominent, and made the second, longest individual run of the game, one of twenty yi and Penn’s best effort.. The thirt¥-nine-yard run by Parsons in the final period was the most spectacular play of the day. Chicago, Jan. 2.—B. B. Johnson, President of the American league, left here last night for Cincinnati to at- tend the meeting of the Natlonal Baseball commission tomorrow. Thomas J.
