New York, Nov. 9.—Out of the muMifarious expressions of opinion #avorable to the adoption of a new boxing law has come the definite declaration that a new bill to legalize the sport will be introduced at the mext session of the legislature, which will begin on January 1. Martin G. McCue, just re-elected to the State Assembdly from the twelfth Manhattan district, has pledged himself to intro- duce a bill as soon as the legislative body convenes. McCue, as & matter of fact, now is at work on a measure providing for state control of the sport of boxing, and he predicts that the new bill will be of such character as to enlist the support of all interested in the re- habllitation of a form of contest that has been strongly approved by - the military authorities and in addition has been proved to be beneficial in its cffects on ecivillans. McCue Is work- ing carefuly on the draft of the new bill. He promises to incorporate in the measure provisions to safeguard the sport in every way possible. Last night McCue declined to dis- MoGUE the plans outlined in the bill, but sald he was confident that when it guartet has played on teams that low- came up for discussion it would meet with the approval of all batrons of the | elevens in the BRICKLEY > CHIEF AIDY. Boston, Nov. 9.-—Lieut. Brickley, former Harvard star and present coach of the Boston ,college eleven was yvesterday up- pointed chlet alde to Brigadier-Gen- eral E." Leroy Swgetser, commanding the depot brigade of the 26th army division. The brigade expects orders to move to a southern training camp soon. 104— 313 | Charles F. football on the gridiron at St. Mary's play- | grounds, the elevens representing the | New Britain and Hartford High | schools will meet in the most import- | ant battle of the year on both teams’ schedule. That history will repeat and the home boys be returned a vic- tor is the spirit shown by every mem- iber of the squad and the student i body. However, the attendants at the | game will witness one of the greatest | contests ever waged between the i | . teams representing the schools is the belief of the close followers of both | ,teams. Hartford High has gone to de- | feat year after year, but this year has | one of the strongest aggregations ever { turned out of the school, and whose jrecord shows that no eleven has been able to penetrate the defense suffi- | | ciently to score a touchdown; neither has the toe of any opposing player been able to boot the pigskin over the | | crossbar. After a week of hard practice Coach Bearce of the locals and Coach Fox of the Capitol city squad report that their charges are in the best condi- tion of the season. Captain Joe Dunn ,in whom the hopes of the Hartford followers pinned much faith, is not in the best of condition and may not be able to start the game. From a | sportsmanship standpoint, this is to be regretted, as thie home boys feel that to defeat a team which is not at its | best, loses some of its glory. i Much Improvement Shown. Scrimmages for the New Britain team ended Wednesday night, when the strong second eleven lined wup . | against Captain McChristy’s boys. The work of the regulars was a revelation to the coaches, and at the end of, the game the red-sweatered lads had out- classed Harry Ginsberg’s pets by a 60 to 0 score. Last Saturday the regu- lars managed to win by a 13 to 7 mar- gin. By this it will be seen that the | team 1is fast improving and should roll up a substantial score over their | bitter rivals. Owing to the tax imposed by the government, an additional assessment of five cents will be levied on all at- tendants, making the admission fee 55 cents. Physical Director Moorhead has made special arrangements for seats inside the ropes where holders of special tickets will be admitted, and | none other. Excellent policing fa- cilities will be on hand to keep back the mammoth throng that is expected to view the game. Twenty per cent of the local receipts minus the ex- penses, will be donated to the Camp Pevens athletic fund. In helping the | boys on to victory, local sportsmer will also be helping the drafted men at Ayer, and the other local soldiers in service. Ple/nty of Cheering. Throughofit the week, special at- tention has been devoted to the cheer- ing and songs of the local followers of New Britain. Some very tuneful mel- odies have been converted into regular college hymns of football varlety by students at the school, and with orig- | inal cheering, this part of the pro- | gram should prove a feature. The ; American band has been secured to , render music during the game. A | | | short concert will be given at Central Park from 1 to 1:30 o’clock. All the cheering and singing will not be contributed by the local people Hartford High and thelr followers having spent considerable time and at- tention to this end of the program. It should prove Interesting to listen to both sides when the whooping-’er-up Legins. It is expected that over 500 Hartford enthusiasts will accompany the team to this city. In order to avoid confusion at the field, Director Moorhead has ar- | ranged to have tickets for the game ! sold at Central Park. Persons avail- ing themselves of this feature will be greatly aided in seouring advantage- ous places on the grounds. The Team. Coach Bearce today announced the : lineup of the team which will start | tomorrow’s battle as follows: Position Left end Left tackle Left guard Center Right guard Right tackle Right end Quarterback Right halfback Hagearty Left halfback McCristy (capt.) Fullback i | Substitutes—Vibberts and Appell, | backfield; Dyson and Doerr, llnemen Olcott and Yeterian, ends. | Tour of the team which plays to- morrow are having their last crack | at Hartford, Willlams, Johnson, Hib- bard and McCristy.

Hibbard, the brilliant quarterback, has played for three years, being a member of two championship teams, those of Cap- | talns Dudack and Connolly, Williams, the giant tackle will cause the visit- ing team plenty of trouble, his im- mense bulk making him one of the most formidable players that ever wore a local High school suit.

The brilliant leader is particularly anxious row against Hartford will bear watch- ing. Of the new men who enter into the crucial fray of the season, Burns and | Faulkner at ends, are youngsters who have earned their positions by hard work. Both lads are aggressive, and their hard and sure tacklers make them splendid players on the defense. Burns, has been coached considerable ing goals, indicating that Coach Bearce is sure rges will succeed in cross- ing the goal line. Faulkner's ability to run back punts is onc of his valu- able assets. Zapatka and Waters are another pair of first year men, who are dis- playing fine football ability as the sea- son draws to an end. Waters sustained an injury early in the season, but is 'now in the best possible physical con- dition. Zapatka spasmodic brilliant players, is not one of the the time. Ashley and Hagearty In the backfleld, are going to get their shot at downing Hartford tomorrow. Ashley's work during the weck has remarkable and much is ex- pected of him tomorrow. Hagearty is an A' No. 1 defensive back. Vib- berts;” the star punter of the squad, will De given first chance as substi- tute. Charlie's brilliant punting may prove a big factor in the outcome of the clash. Caldwell, of Marquette college, one of the most efficient officials seen in these parts in years will act as ref- eree. The umpire and head linesman will be selected by the Springfield Training School officlals. Bernard Connolly, captain of the 1916 cham- pions will be linesman for the locals. CHAMPIONSHIPS AWARDED. A. A. U. Boxing Honors Won by Cleve- land Athletic Club, Chicago, Nov. 9.—The annual box- ing championships of the Central A. A. U. yesterday were awarded to the Cleveland Athletic club, which expects to decide them at Camp Ohlo, for the benefit of the soldiers.

Adams, Mass, Nov. 9.—Al McCoy of Brooklyn, the middleweight cham- pion, beat Montana Dan Sullivan in a twelve round bout here last night. The titleholder failed to impress the Berkshire fans. His opponent, who 15 a scarred veteran of 200 battles, stayed the limit despite all that Mec- Coy could do in trying to put him away. In the tenth McCoy started to go after Sullivan in earnest and pun- |1shed him badly from that time on to the final gong. McCoy looked fat, of Rrooklyn in Johnny McAvoy refereed the bout. but the | type which keeps plugging away all Sherman, | up of three crack-a-jack bouts, with all performers well known to local followers of the mat game. In the star bout Alvah Ventres of Berlin will encounter A. Peterson, champion of Norway, in a finish bout. These sterling grapplers met in this city Oc- tober 28, at Turner hall, and the fans on hand on that occasion are stilf talking of the exhibition put up by both men. The affair on that occa- slon was for one hour, and at the end of the sixty minutes neither grappler had succeeded in downing the other. With no time limit, the next match should be a whirlwind affair. Raymond in Semi-Final. The semi-final will bring together Jack Raymond of Boston and “Tiger” Kent of Hartford. Raymond’s abil- ity needs no introduction to the wrestling fans hereabouts. Kent, is one of the best known amateurs thy foe for the Bay Stater. This match will also be to a finish. The curtain raiser will bring to- gether Pat McCarthy of New Haven, conquerer of “Kid” Benjamin in the recent show and Alex George of this city. George wrestled a thirty min- ute draw with Burnham of New Hav- en on the night of the Ventres-Ben- jamin fiasco. The McCarthy-George battle will be for 30 minutes. True Sportsmanship. The coming show is one that should attract all lovers of sport in this city and from nearby towns. The true sportsmanship shown by Manager Smith in the recent exhibition. with the loss of several dollars confronting him by putting on the show as adver- tised, proves him and Mr. Ventres to be promoters that keep their word with the public and give them they advertise.
