ALUMNI HELPS TEAM Ginsberg, Dunn, Pickop and Solo- mon Assisting in Finishing Touches For Captain McCristy’s Coming ‘Champions. Members of the New Britain High school alumni, are rallying to the support of Captain McCristy’s eleven in helping to put the team in shape for the season’'s most notable battle with Hartford which takes place Sat- urday afternoon at St. Mary's play- grounds. The kickoff will be at 2:30 o'clock. Yesterday afternoon, Harry Ginsberg, Dave Dunn, Lowell Pickop, Bolomon and others, lined up against the regular school team, and for over an hour hard practice was engaged in. At the conclusion, the old timers were ready to admit that the 1917 eleven is one that the school should feel proud of and they were unani- mous in predicting another victory over Hartford. Reports from the Capitol City are to the effect that Captain Dunn is lost REINSMAN “POP” In the two-year-old trotter, Peter June, and the aged horse, St. Frisco, he has two of the greatest performers now racing—a pair which will land the old timer up among the leaders in the money-making column. to the team for this season. Whether this is 80 or not, it is not receiving much attention from the locals, who do not fear the best that Hartford can produce. The followers of the H. P. H. 8. team are placing special emphasis on the fact that the team has held all opponents scoreless this season. Well, the home boys are elated over this, for. besides trim- ming the visitors Saturday, they will take special pride in being the first eleven to accomplish the scoring stunt, The final game of the season will be played in New Haven, on the morning of November 24. BROWN BEGINS DRIVE. Providence, R. I., Nov. 7.—A vic- tory over Dartmouth was the sole in- spiration of Browne's football play- ers yesterday and for over thirty minutes they tore their way through the second team's line with this end in view. Two touchdowns to one was the final score, which did not really compare the merits of the two teams, Brooks and Gordon through injuries were not allowed in the scrimmage. Only Willings, Hoving, Grabb and Coulter of the team which played against:Syracuse last Saturday were in the lineup. TRINITY TIES N. Y. U. Hartford Collegians Hold Opponents Scoreless—Both Teams FPass Up Splendid Opportunities to Score | Touchdowns. New York, Nov. 7.—Opportunity New York Enocked s ort { of the ten rounds, dropped his oppo- University and Trinity College in their gridiron battle on Ohio Field vester- day, but it knocked in vain. When the fing) whistle sounded it found both as far from a score as at the start, and the anclent gridiron rivals had to be content with fighting to a scoreless tie. Twice in the third period Trinity hammered the Violet back into the shadow of its goal posts. One roseate Trinity chance of scoring went glim- mering when Nordstrom failed in a fleld goal attempt from the 30 yard line. Another prospective Trinity tally faded away when the Connecti- cut Trinity pushing collegians, push- ing the Bronxonians back to the Vio- let's 16 yard line, lost the ball on a fumble by Ramsey. The third quarter ended with the Violet in possession of the ball on Trinity's 15 yard line. The stage was set for the Violet to score In the fourth period, but the New York Uni- versity rooters were doomed to disap- pointment. Twice Capt. Sokolower's eleven was on the threshold of vic- tory, but each time something hap- pened and Violet hopes dropped lower than the drooping plumes of t{.ae Vio- let belles, PINLICO RESULTS J. E. Davi®’ Gelding Brooks Wins Manly Memorial Stake—Apprentice Jockey Wins Race With Bond. Pimlico, Md., Nov. 7.—Two steeple- chase races were declded at the track here yesterday afternoon and each furnished a spirited contest. One the cross-country events was the rich and much heralded Manly Memorial. It was worth more than $10,000 and was at two miles and a half. The other was a claiming affair at two miles. 3 The stake went to J. E. Davis' brown gelding Brooks, ridden perfect- ly by JocRey Nicklaus. He was never in danger of defeat, and at the end was running easily. Mrs. Payne Whitney’s old mare Cherry Malotte finished second, W. A. Prime’s Silver Dart third. The claiming chase went to . Smith's New Haven. Meles was sec- ond and King Simon third. Aided by a superb ride by a little apprentice lad, George Walls, the Nas- sau Stable’s chestnut colt Bond won the third race, a dash at six furlongs, at long odds. He paid $25.90 in the mutuels. The little Brooklyn boy rodé like a veteran, and laying off the pace during the early struggle, rushed his mount through the final furlong and won in clever fashion. Sea Beach took second money and Alvord third. George D. Widener's Lanius de- feated & select fleld of two-yeads-olds in impressive fashion. He took com- mand soon after the barrier was #prung and was never headed. NllTEIl PUGILISTS - TOTRAIN SOLDIERS McFarland, Leonard and Other Stars of Ring to Teach Boxing Some of America’s most famous ring stars have been retained to teach | boxing to the men training for the war army as a means of making them better bayonet fighters. The commis- sion on training camp activities an- nounced recently through Dr. Joseph E. Raycroft of Princeton university, it had arranged for expert boxers, in- cluding Benny Leonard, Kid MtCoy, Battling Levinsky, Richle Mitchell and Packey McFarland, to instruct groups of men in the training camps. These groups in turn will teach the other men. The training will be principally shadow boxing, based on a successful scheme evolved by .Sergeant Willlam Armstrong of the Canadian army. The men are placeéd in lines, three or four paces apart, facing the instruc- tor's platform. The motions taught are very nearly the same as those used in actual bayonet fighting. Here is a complete list of the noted boxers who have up to date been ap- pointed boxing instructors at military training camps. Camp Sherman—Johnny Kilbane, featherweight champion of America. Camp Upton—Benny Leonard, lightweight champion of world. Camp Devens—Battling Levinsky, tht heavyweight champion of Amer- Ca.mp Dodge—Mlke Gibbons, lead- ing contender for middlewelght title. Camp Lewis—Willle Ritchie, for- mer Mghtweight - champion of the world. Camp Upton—Y. M. C. A. Branch —Young Fulton, East Side light- weight. Camp Rochford—Charley White. Camp Dix—Kid McCoy. Camp Pike—Frankie Russell, : Orleans lightwelght. Joe Mandot, one of the cleverest lightwelghts produced in New Or- leans, has also been appointed an in- structor, but as yet has not been as- signed to a camp. Packey McFarland also has been appointed an instructor. New DUNDEE BEATS MOORE. LEONARD IS KING IN KNOGKOUT CLASS * Champion’s Ability fo Put Away Opponents Astonishes Followers Benny Leonard’s imposing knock- out record continues to cause aston- ishment among the students of pu- . gilistic effectiveness. Leonard's first victim in his rush toward the knock- out record was Packey Hommey, who was stopped March 22, 1917. Then came a notable feat, the stopping of Ritchie Mitchell, the choice of the middlewest for the lightweight crown, who was disposed of in the seventh round. After stopping two boys—Charley Thomas and Edd Shannon—Leonard got his match ! with Champion Fred Woelsh, and pounded the Briton loose from the} title in seven rounds. Joe Welsh dv Philadelphia managed to stay seven rounds with the new champion, but Leonard started out on the rampage immediately afterwards by stopping’ | Johnny Nelson, and followed this by ! knocking out Johnny Kilbane and Young Rector. Then he met Jimmy Paul in an exhibition bout which went six rounds without a knockout. , Leonard's next fight was against Phil i Bloom, whom he knocked out. He - followed with knockouts over I«o Johnson, Eddie Dorsey and Vic Mor~ an which was followed by his ten round,’ no decision bout with Jack Britton. Then the champion went over to | Philadelphia and trounced Eddie Wa- gond for six rounds, but failed ‘to stop him. On the succeeding night Leonard met Young Erne of Buffalo, and lambasted him for six rounds, ‘% with the loser keeping his feet till the last gong. -/ After that Leonard went to Oleve- P land and stopped Toughey Ramser i 7 the seventh round. The champion hurt his hend e ' Ramser and will be compelied te n@ for a time. CITY LEAGUE BGWLING wmwm'rwoa-umwu- derers—Annex Quintet Bow o Su- medium cl | of Nine..
