Oct. light had settled upon the plains be- fore the cadets finished a military drill yesterday, and except for briet session in between recitations the sol- diers were unable to get in their much needed football practice. In an ef- fort to get another workout of the line there was some shifting of men ! in the forward wall when the team went through its signal practice. New plays for Villanova, who comes here Saturday, were rehearsed. Hahn and Witters, experienced ‘backfleld men, came out for the team vesterday. Both played last year and were considered promising.

Into Active The late Les Darcy was virtually hounded to death in this country a few short months ago by persons who flung the ugly word ‘“‘slacker,” in his face at every turn. That was before the United States entered into the war. Six months have elapsed since this country declared war on Ger- many, and thousands of young Amer- icans have enlisted in the army ° of navy, vet among among these there has been only one boxer of promi- nence—Joe Welling, who enlisted in the Naval Reserve force. Pete Herman, bantamweight cham- pion, is in the National Army, having been drafted after his plea for exemp- tion was denied. Jess Willard, Mike Gibbons, Ted Kid Lewls, Benny Leon- ard, Johnny Kilbane and others hold- ing titles in their respective classes or generally regarded as leading con- tenders, have all failed to enlist, yet there has been no protest from those | who were loudest in their cries against | Darcy, who, according to reports from Australia, had a family depend- ent upon him and was in no position to offer his services to England. Incidentally, it might be remarked {that on the night Darcy died in a Memphis hospital, Lewis, born and reared in London, boxed at the St. Nicholas ring without arousing any protest ‘because he wasn't where he belonged—in the English army. TO JOHN. Congratulates McGraw on Good Sportsmanship. |J. McGraw, of the Giants, who per- isonally congratulated Manager Row- {land and Capt. Eddie Collins, of the White Sox, after the deciding game of {the series, followed this show of |sportsmanship up by sending a con- ‘gratulatory telegram to President jCharles A. Comiskey, of the White Sox. The owner of the new world’s |champions has sent the following re- ply to McGraw: ‘“‘Comiskey Park, “Chicago, Oect. 1), 1917. J. McGraw, Mgr. New York Giants, New York City, N. Y. | “My dear John: I was inexpress- ibly delighted to receive your splendid | telegram of congratulations, and it made me fee¥ happy and proud, jdeed, to know your sincere feeling {toward me. “This world’s series was, without jauestion, the greatest of them all. {Had the White Sox been vanquished, I know of no one to whom we 4vauld have bowed down in defeat rather ithan to John McGraw of the 'New | York Giants. “With every sincerely yours, “John best wish, I remain, Service So | New York, Oct. 26.—Manager John | in- | BOXERS BATTLE 10 DRAW Shea-Hughes Mill Proves Disappoint- ing—Thomas Substitutes for Drum- mie and Boxes Even With Martin. 26.—Prof. Tommy Shea, the local featherweight and treasured protege of Jigger McCar- ithy, fought 12 uninteresting rounds .ta a draw with Billy Hughes, of | Bridgeport, in the main attraction staged under the direction of the In- dian Head A. C. at the Arena last night. The bout failed to produce the expected fireworks, neither boy dis playing the form that was to be ex- i pected of them. Those who journeyed to the Arena in hopes of seeing an im- proved puncher in Shea Were vastly jdisappointed, as he failed to make any impression upon his opponent except in .the last round. Hughes, on the |other hand, fought an aggressive bat- 'tle, but was prevented from doing any |appreciable damage owing to Shea’s peculiar defensive tactics. The only round in which anything resembled excitement cropped out in {the 12th in which Shea rallled hard !and some lively toe-to-toe milling re- sulted. In the round Shea outpointed iHughes two to one, and scored a |knockdown. At the end of the bout | Referee Fitzgerald announced that {the principals had previously agreed /to a draw verdict in the event that neither had a decisive advantage. { In another 12-round bout, which | was every bit as uninteresting, Johnny Martin, of this city, and Al Thomas, lof Bridgeport, danced to a draw. |Thomas substituted for Johnny Drum- !mie, of Waterbury, who was unable Ito appear on account of an alleged in- jury received in training. Martin {and Thomas failed to enthuse by their slow work and it was a great reliet to the fans when the flnal gong 1sounded. The eight-round preliminary be- tween Mickey Doherty and Billy Nista iproved the best bout of the night, Both boys slugged away from bell to !bell and recelved a big ovation as they left the ring. Doherty had all |the best of the argument after the ithird round, scoring three knock- downs. The show was a ‘bloomer” from a financial as well as a fighting stand- point. The house drew $1,214. Shea worked on a 15 per cent. basis and received $182.17, while Hughes drew \a straight guarantee of $300. Mar- tin, who was to have received 15 per (cent., refused to box after looking over the crowd and demanded $275, iwhich he recetved. New Haven, Oct. SHIFT IN PENN TEAM. Philadelphia, Oct. 26.—With Pitt-Penn game just two days off Bob Folwell, general in chief of the i Red and Blue gridiron forces, yester- day made a sudden shift in the make- up of his forward line. Doc Cook, the ex-University of Washington star, who has been playing guard on the scrubs, was moved to right guard on the varsity in place of Jerry Jerauld, the \Laurel track !the Dixie Handicap, worth $1,615 {Recount finished first in 1917. while Joe Van Ginkel, husky all around player from Des Moines High school, went in at Eddie Well's posi- tion at left end. MILLER WINS TWO RACES ket Takes Dixiec and Recount the Everglade Stakes on Heaviest Track of Scason at Laurel. Laurel, Md., Oct. 26.—Andrew Mil- ler scored a double triumph at the yesterday. Ticket won , and the Ever- glade purse, worth $1,060. FEach won iwith plenty of speed in reserve, five lengths ahead of their opponents. The track was very heavy, the worst of the meeting. The deep go- ing just suited Ticket and Recount. Ticket trailed King Neptune for a mile and then drew out in the last quarter. Recount, a tough little two- vear-old, was favored by the light weight of 84 pounds and he raced Celto, Waukeag and Gloomy Gus leg weary and then came home alone. CONIFREY AND RECTOR DRAW. Binghamton, Oct. 26.—Frankie Conifrey, of New York, and Young ector of Jersey City, fought ten ashing rounds to a draw here last nlght before a big crowd which saw /the boys battle toe to toe over the 'entire distance. NO INFORMAD FOOTBALL. New Haven, Oct. 26.—Dr. Arthur S Brides announced formally last night that there would be no informal foot- ball games between Yale and Harvard or Princeton elevens this fall. He stated that the military work belng undertaken by Yale men prevented the students from giving the time ne- cessary to develop an eleven. Another reason for abandoning the was that there is now but one coach and one tralner at Yale since Coach Tad Jones left to resume wark for the |government. Dr. Brides will devote all his time to the freshmen as Yale's only coach. DE ORO RETAINS TITLE. New York, Oct. 26.—Alfredo De Oro, of Cuba, holder of the three- cushion billlard title, successfully de- \fended the title in the three days' Imatch in this city by defeating John Daly, of New York, the challenger, in the last block last night, 50 to 42. The score for the match is: De Oro, 150; Daly, 129. D¢ Oro's high run last night was six, while Daly’s best was a five. 1 attempt THREE GREEN STARS HURT. McDonough, Neely and Holbrook In= jured in Scrimmage. Hanover, N. H. Oct. 26.—Three of § the Dartmouth varsity players were | injured so badly in yesterday’s serim- mage that they may be unable to play in the next game and as two of them | are backfleld men, Coach Spears is in a bad way. He has no substitutes ready for use. Capt. McDonough, C. F. Holbrook and E. G. Neely were the men who had to be taken out of the game to- day. The first two are the most de- pendable ground, gainers in the back- field and Neely, the one armed guard. is the pivot on which the strength ot the line depends. PRUDENTIAL OUTFITTING CO. So. R. R. Tracks. 9 Washington Place. Rear 310 Main Street. Kashmir, the colt which H. C. Hol- ! lenbeck bought at Saratoga for $15,- 000, purse by a head after a whipping fin- ish. He looked an easy winner in the stretch, but stopped nearly to a walk in the last furlong. and Matinee Idol nearly nipped him. Kashmir does not look as well as he did last summer. He has lost at least a hundred pounds in flesh. HARD PRACTICE AT WILLIAMS. Team Has Spirited Workout on Field and in “Gym.” ‘Willlamstown, Mass., Oct. 26.—Wil- lams held its last practice yesterday preparatory to the Columbia game Saturday. A scrimmage with the fresh- men team brought out some spirited work with the varsity backs meeting stiff resistance in making their dis- tance. When darkness made it nec- essary to quit Weston fleld, the squad adfourned to the bascball cage where Coach Walker gave the regulars a final secret signal drill. The purple squad consisting of twenty-one players, left this noon for New York where headquarters will be made at the Cumberland Hotel. Aside from a few minor injuries, the var- sity is in good shape and hopes to start Saturday with its regular line up. END RUNS AT WESLEYAN. Middletown, N. Y. Oot. 26.—Wes- leyan held its last practice in prepar- ation for the Amherst game yesterday afternoon. Coach Fauver sent the var- sity against the scrub and freshman teams in hard scrimmages. The var- sity was repeatedly given the ball in the scrubs territory and told to soore. End runs by Ketler and Markthaler resulted in several touchdowns. The practice was continued until after dark. won the Hanover Liberty Bond | INVESTIGATE A complete line of MEN’S SUITS and OVERCOATS. Made of the Best Material available.
