— — II:EX,P BRITAIN HIGH IN DRAW BATTLE WITH HOLYCKE HIGH—SAMMY WALTZ TO MEET YOUNG MACK IN STAR BOUT—SHUGRUE'S INJURY WAS HOLYOKE ELEVEN TIES NEW BRITAIN Daly’s Fine Kicking Prevents Locals From Another Victory Holyoke, Oct. 27.—Outweighed at least 15 pounds to the man, but mak- ing up in aggressiveness and grit what they lacked in beef, the Holyoke High School gridiron warriors furnished a big surprise yesterday afternoon on the Berkshire street grounds when they went to a 6-to-6 draw with New Britain High school. Two drop kicks By Billy Daly, the Paper City left balfback, accounted for his team’s Rhalf dozen points. Hibbard went over r the touchdown for New Britain, but Waters missed the kick for goal that might have given the visitors a shade on the final score had he been successful. To the supporters of the Holyoke team the playing of the squad gives the greatest encouragement for a stubborn contest against Springfield High, in the annual game which comes in two weeks. The game uncovered Halfback Daley as a drop kicker of unexpected power. This youngster had three chances this afternoon and made good on two of them. His first try came within a few minutes after play began. He attempted to hoist from the 20-yard line. It was blocked but his team recovered. New Britain held for three downs and then Daley dropped back for his second attempt, this time from the 25-yard mark. He wae at a slight angle, but the men fu front of him held firmly and he got the boot neatly over the bar. ‘With Holyoke leading thus early in the battle, New Britain’s backs be- csme aroused and began a slashing @fiack on the local line. The locals fought for every inoch, and finally held on the 16-yard line. New Brit- ain was penalized 15 yards for hold- ing. The Nutmeg team checked all Holyoke advances and Daley punted oft of bounds, on his own 36-yard Mne. A forward pass, Hibbard to ‘Qloott, netted 30 yards for New Brit- ain, putting the oval on Holyoke'’s five-yard mark. Daly went back to cover Olcott and was just on the point of Intercepting the pass when he slipped. Feldman threw Olcott before he could reach the goal line. Two plunges into the line resulted in Hibbard scoring as the first period ended. Waters then missed an easy goal. ‘With the start of the second pertfod, New Britain kicked off and Capt. Swords ran the ball back 40 yards. Feldman ripped off seven through center. Daly tacked on 12 more around right end and Clifford sklrtedl left end for 10 more. The ball was | on the Connecticut team’s 15-yard line and the Holyoke supporters were rooting for a touchdown. Holding resulted in a penalty of 15 yards for Holyoke. New Britain intercepted a forward pass, but lost the ball when Bwords received a fumble. Daly | heaved a forward pass at Haskell | that gained 22 yards. Swords made ; 10 through center. A fumble recov- | ered by a local player, cost Holyoke | a loss of 15 yards. Feldman rushed | the ball to midfield to give Daly chance for another fleld goal. = Daly tell back and kicked his second field goal, this time from the 35-vard line. The half ended with the ball in Hol- yoke's possession in midfield. New Britain tried hard to score in the second half. In the third period Hibbard took the ball on Holyoke's 16-yard line and made a long sweep | of the left end and cleared every! player but Clifford. The Holyoke half- ! back overhauled the visitor and threw | him for a loss of 15 yards. New | Britain repeatedly rushed the ball! down the fleld and into threatening ; territory, only to have Coach Wha- len’s men put up a stonewall de- fense. Holyoke was kept on the de- fenstve most of the last half, but in. the last five minutes Waters went! back to Holyoke's 45-yard line when It was evident that Holyoke's line eould not be broken up through rushes and attempted a drop kick. I i | The toe drive was traight and true, but lacked height, going under the middle of the cross bar. New Britain's last chance, as Hol- yoke rallled in the few remaining minutes and had pushed the ball to midfield when the final whistle sounded. Capt. Swords was injured second period and forced to retire, but came back stronger than ever In the last period. The Holyoke Tead- er and every man under him acquitted themselves creditably, so much so that it was difficult to pick any in- dfvidual stars. For New Britain, Capt. McChristy, Hibbard, with the other visiting backs, played well. The lineup: HOLYOKE O’Connor, Johneon, 1t Bober, 1g. Gage, c.. Hurley, 1g.

New York, Oct., 27.—That Miller Huggins, the new manager of the Yankees, will draw a high salary from his new New York employer was re- |vealed by Branch Rickey, president of the Cardinals, in St. Louis yester- {day when he announced that he had Iofl'ercd Huggins a salary of $10,000 la year and 10 per cent. of all profits {in excess of $25,000 if he would re- {main with the St. Louis club next sea- son. ‘What Huggins will receive from the Yankees only he and the Yankee officials know, but it was a figure {which Rickey was unable to match. However, there was no doubt that the | St. Louis club and the National League were anxious to keep Huggins at the helm of the Cardinals. While it would appear that Hug- gins’s acceptance of Ruppert’s terms was a cold business proposition, one club outbidding another, it is doubt- ful if Huggins would have made the shift if everything had been harmon- ious between him and Rickey last season. Huggins let that cat out of the bag himself when he admitted he called on Col. Ruppert in the middle of last season asking if he contem- plated a managerial shift for 1918. According to some of Huggins’s Na- tional League friends, he leaves the Cardinals with quite a bit of regret. He took much pride in building up the present Cardinals, and thinks he wauld have been in the race during all of 1918 had he remained with the team. Huggins and Rickey became at log- gerheads soon after Branch switched his affillations from the Browns to the Cardinals. He made a deal for Pitcher Goodwin, in which he gave up several of the Cardinal players without sa much as consulting Hug- gins. While in New York in mid- | season Rickey booked a game for the ! Cardinals in Jersey City, but Huggins | would not play it. It is believed that it was on this visit that Huggins made ) his first call on Ruppert.

Aspirant for Leonard’s Title Hands Paterson Boy Hard Beating. New York, Oct. 27.—With a match with Benny Leonard as the stake of the contest, Willie Jackson, fighting | as he hasn’t fought since the mem- orable night he knocked out Johnny | Dundee in Philadelphia, outpointed { Tommy Tuohey of Paterson in the main bout at the Harlem S. C. last night. Tuohey, however, was a victor ! even in defeat. When he jumped through the ropes at the end he was accorded a remarkable ovation for his gritty battle. In the other two ten round bouts Leo Johnson, the negro lightweight, folk, the negro light heavyweight [ from Baltimore who recently got a twelve -round decision over Billy Miske, beat Jack Espin, a little known boxer from St. Paul.

Benny had to over- come many obstacles and fight like a tiger before even convincing the fistic public that he was entitled to make a bid for a chance at the lightweight championship. Little did one think when in New York, back five years ago, and watched Joe Shugrue of Jer- sey, nothing more than a novice, flat- ten Benny Leonard in four rounds, that Mr. Leonard would some day be world’s champion and held up before the public as the greatest champion since the days of Joe Gans. Benny doesn’t put that knockout by Shugrue in his record, but he got it just the same, and here are plenty of fans who well remember the night. Al McMurray had Leonard in those days, and he was loked upon as a tough and rugged battler in the sec- ond division, who would give the fans a run for their money and that’s about all. McMurray got Leonard several bouts, and finally Leonard drifted around to the Fairmont lub looking for work. Tom McCardle, matchmaker for the club, took hold of Leonard and started him boxing in the club. Leonard had to box 38 matches at the Fairmont be- fore he interested anyone to any ex- tent or struck anyone as having cham- pionship chances. Although Leonard went 10-round no-decision bouts with such boys at Patsy Cline,Johnny Dun- dee, Jimmy Duffy, Johnny Kilbane, Frankie Callahan and Al Thomas, he really came into prominence when he knocked out Joe Mandot in seven rounds on Dec. 17, 1915, in New York. Tom McCardle told Billy Gibson. manager of the Fairmont club, about Leonard, and said he believed the young fellow had the making of a great battler. Gibson took hold of Leonard and got him plenty of work. Leonard knocked out Phil Blom and Jimmy Murray, and finally stopped Ever Hammer in 12 rounds in Kan- sas City This was a great boost to Leonard, and he got a bout with Freddie Welsh, champion of world, the boy whom he had boxed two 10-round no-decision bouts. Leon- ard stopped Welsh and became the lightweight champion of the after working hard for five vears and | having to battle and beat the best in | cham- | the class in his drive to the pionship. But going back to the Shugrue fight, it is safe to say that injury to Shugrue’s eyes, that put him out of business, made it possible for Benny Leonard to become lightweight cham- pion of the world. Shugrue had stopped Leonard and had twice de- feated Champion Welsh in a 10-round no-decision bout in New York. He had defeated Milburn Saylor in a 20- round battle in Sydney and Saylor is the fellow who stooped Leach Cross and put him out of the game. All Shugrue needed was a declsion battle with Welsh to become lightweight champion of the world. Welsh side- stepped Shugrue as far as campion- ship fight went, and after Shugrus quit the game Welsh took on Leonard and lost the title. There now remains as candidates for Leonard’'s crown Joe Welling, Johnny | Dundee, Frankie Callahan, Patsy Ciine and Charley White as the most worthy centenders. Shugrue held his . own with Johnny Dundee three times | and twice held Charley White even. The most worthy contender for ! Champion Leonard is prekekly Joo Welling, while it must be admitted Charley White is always dangerous, as he carries such a stiff punch. Dundee is no knockout man. He hops about i and picks and jabs at his opponent, and is a great defensive fighter. It 1s hard to figur out Dundee ever mak- ing any impression on Leonard or any other lightweight champlon. As for White, a boxer manages to beat White, | fighter with a wallop. Freddie Welsh i had an easy time outpointing White, (and Jack Britton and several others outpointed him. Back in 1909 White was badly shown up by Abe Attell, and the next year by Willle Gibbs. generally who is a OUIMET THE FAVORITE. Soldier-Golfer Picker to Defeat Evans at Brae Burn Today. Boston, Oct. 27.—The fact that re- cently Champion Chick Evans has been going badly so far as winning | four-ball matches is concerned, while Francis Oulmet has had an unbroken string of victories, including such formidable opponents as Travers, Kirkby, Brady and Tellier, would in- dicate that the Bostonian will shade the Chicagoan in confidence if noth- ing else when they meet today at Brae Burn. ! Evans' losses were to O'Hara and | Rowe, Pittsburgh, pros. on Oct. 13, “and the next day to Wilbur Oakes, the pro, and J. D. Standish, Jr.. the | amateur, at Detroit. In the first de- for | Tear, and Lieut. J. Perigord, an auto- | eat Evans was partnered by D. H. Sawyer and in the second by Hugh Vaughn. 1f, as some say, confldence Is a great asset at the openlng of a match, Ouimet ought to have a good supply of it in view of his victory last Saturday at Worcester with Jesse Guilford over the pros, Tellier and Brady. The match was even on the thirty-sixth hole, but on the thirty- ninth the pros were decfeated. i HELPED LEONARD Brass City Boxer Near Top When, the ; world, | | SAGE PARK RACING Six Heats Neccssary to Decide 2:12 Trot Which is Finally Won By Forest 13.

C. to Stage Fifteen Round Battle November 1 The opening of the boxing season in Meriden by the Lenox A. C. brings forth a card that will measure up to any that has ever been staged in the Silver city, when on Thursday even- ing November 1. Sammy Waltz of Hartfora and Young Mack of Meriden | Wwill battle 15 rounds. The clash will be the second that these millers have engaged in, and a warm argument is expected as each has the idea that | he has something on his opponent.: The boys met once before, and the bout ended in a good draw. Tho Meriden boy on that occasion sur- prised his followers by his splendid | showing, and there has been a clamor for a return bout for several months. Young Oscar Gardner of Hartford and Larry Hanson of New York, have been signed to meet in the 10 round semi-final. This bout in fitself is a star affair. Gardner made his debut to Meriden fans during the early summer when he gave battle with Johnnic Drummie of Waterbury. He made an excellent impression. In tackling Hanson, he is facing a tough two hand miller who knows nothing but slam bang from bell to bell. Han- son’s rccent showing against Harry Gordon stamps him as a coming con. tender for the lightweight crown. A likely: pair of bantams will ap- pear in the curtain raiser of 6 rounds, | “Young” Butch and Jimmy Sandy, will throw gloves at each other. Butch is a Meriden product, who is confident that he will stop the win- ning streak of the New York midget.

At various times during the sixty min- utes that the wrestlers worked, holds that seemed almos mipossible to break, were secured by each wrestler, and when they were broken, a healthy cheer was given. While Ventres was the favorite with the crowd, they were impartial and gave Peterson a hand when he earned it. At the close of the match, each wrestler evinced a desirs in a finish bout, and it 1is likely that it will be arranged shortly. A Ventres-Peterson return bout, Should pack any hall in this city.

New Haven, Conn., Oct. 27.—Yale men were greatly surprised yesterday to read a statement by Dr. Brides, in which he says that the varsity will have no varsity foot- ball team.
