C. will be staged, with Chic Brown of New Haven and Johnnie Drummie of Waterbury as the headliners in a 12-round - muss. The reputation of " both boys is well known to every box- ing adherent in the Nutmeg state, and a8 each has a big following, a mam- moth crowd is expected. New Britain will as usual be Tepresented by a large delegation. The sentiment be- tween the chief battlers is about fifty- fifty as far as the Hardware city crowd is concerned. Many here be. lieve Brown to be the better boy of the two on account of his ruggedness, while the cleverness and headwork of Drummie is the chief claim of his friends as his asset for honors. In the semi-final Frankie Wilson of Bridgeport and “Kid” Wiltse of Hartford. Little is knawn of the for- mer, but if Wiltse can fight half as #ood as he can climb into the ring to be introduced to the crowd fight after fight, well, Wilson will be busy. Joe Currie of New Haven and Young Bedell of Brooklyn will work In the second preliminary. The cur- tain-raiser will be between Charlie Brown and Jimmy Jenkins, both of Meriden. The show will commence promptly at 8:15 o'clock with Dave Titzgerald of New Haven refereeing and “Red” Rorty roaring as usual. ¥ 1 3 2 f ¥ ch m (Mur- 2:14%, 12-Round JR. PIRA S WIN.

Hardware City Coppers Plan For Re- turn Match With Meriden. At a meeting of the members of the New Britain Police department, held Saturday evening, tentative plans were formulated for the baseball game and banquet to be held at a date to be decided on later with the Meriden police. After witnessing what the Silver City police accom- plished for the police pension fund in the game with the locals, the home boys have become imbued with the spirit that if Meriden can do it so can they. Efforts are being made to stage the game on September 19 at St. Mary's plavgrounds, the only bar- rier in the way being whether the grounds are avfilable on that date. It | is proposed to tax each regular and supernumerary officer $1, for the ban- quet which will probbly be held in either the Elks' home or Turner or Bardeck's hall. At Saturday night’s meeting, Offi- | cer Herbert C. Lyon was named man- and William Sowney captain. Ofiicer William O'Mara is secretary of the outing and game.

In return for Barney Dreyfuss’ an- nouncement that Pitcher Mamaux has been fined $600 and indefinitely suspended the latter threatens to bring suit against the owner of the Pirates, says the New York Sun. Mamaux says that Dreyfuss is hold- ing back a large portion of his sal- ary. Dreyfuss, it seems, agreed to pay $200 a month for 12 months in the year and to’invest $5,000 extra during the term of Mamaux’s con- tract, which does not expire until October, 1918. Mamaux insists that he has been fined and suspended without cause and that he will go to the courts to obtain an accounting. Ten days ago Mamaux pitched a Sun- day game for a semi-pro team near Pittsburgh, for which he was discl- plined. Dreyfuss asked the National Commission to “blacklist” the young man, but Governor Tener refused to take such action, declaring: “If Mamaux merely took part in an amateur game which did not har- bor ineligible players it would be iwrong to attempt to expel him from i organized baseball.”’ superfine play.

CADETS CAN PLAY Department Issues Order Per- ‘War mit Gridiron Contests But Not With Annapolis—Keyes to Act As Coach. West Point, N. Y., Sept. 5.—Though there will be no Army-Navy game this year the Army will send a foot- ball team into the hreana. This an- nouncement was made yesterday upon the receipt of an order from the war department permitting” the academy to organize a football and other teams to compete against col- lege combinations. The order had the proviso that né athletic relations with Annapolis werc to be resumed until a special pgrmit was issued by the war department. Secretary of War Baker believes that the army and navy are such great rivals that a football pame between them would mean too intensive pre- paration, which would distract the at- tention of the cadets from their mili- tary work. To take the place of Capt. Charley Daly as 'head football coach Capt. Geoffrey Keyves, who was graduated from the academy in (1913, Yesterday was appointed. Capt. Keyes is an in- structor in languages at the academy and his presence here is rather for- tunate for West Point for it has been decided by the war department to detail no army officers this year for coaching work. . Capt. Keyes has had the benefit of the coaching of both Capt. Daly and Capt. Ernest Graves, the line coach, and knows their systems. Other former army players here will ‘help Capt. Keyes. The new coach made some reputation as a member of tkm 1911 and 1912 teams here and pMyed! with Dan Pullen, Arnold, Hyatt an Devere. Capt. J. E. McMahon yesterday was appointed the new army football representative in place of Capt. Francke. The latter was named onl: last winter to take the place of Capt. Phil Hayes. Capt. James B. Craw. ford is secretary-treasurer of the Athletic council, once more re¥ived. The task which faces Capt. Me- Mahon is no easy one, for he must get up a new schedule of games tol take the place of that cancelled last spring, when the order banning foot- ball, for the year was received here.| The old schedule had games gvith Holy Cross, Pennsylvania, West Vir. ginia, Springfield Y. M. C. A. Col- lege Villanova, Notre Dame, Maine and Bowdoin in the order named. | Capt. McMahon expects to have no trouble in getting up a new set of games. Though the time for praci tice will be very limited, the cade expect to get out a first rate teamj ‘Work will be started immediately.
