BAKER, OWNER OF PHILLIES, RESUMES FIGHT TO O AS MATCHED FOR 15 ROUND TITLE BATTLE IN HARTFORD—E!)D!E MAHAN {\T HARVARD ) 72T GARRY HERRMANN AS NATIONAL COMMISSION CHAIRMAN—LEONARD AND DUNDEE REPORTED | . EONARD-DUNDE BOUT IN HARTFORD Battle Will Be Stage& in Armory October 27 Johnny Dundee, one of the leading ontenders for the title held by Benny Leonard, is about to realize his mbition to meet the champion in a itle bout to a decision. The date an- ounced vesterday for the contest is Dctober 27, the length of the bout fifteen rounds and the scene will be he State Armory at Hartford, Conn., which is larger than Madison Square Jarden. This will be the first time Leonard ill meet an opponent in a long bout fo a decision since he captured the @honors from Freddie Welsh in a ten fround decisionless bout in this city. [eonard and Dundee have met seven imes in decisionless bouts and the uestion of superiority has mever been settled. Dundee had a shade over the champion in their last en- counter in Jerse; and has felt that it he could get a long bout with Leon- rd, in which the referee was autho- ized to give a decision on points, he would acquire the title [ Dundee has been travelling fast zait in his recent contests there is small doubt that the pending contest will gest crowd that yet has seen a light- veight bout in this part of the coun- jRry. at a and im- Toledo Also Secks Bout. |\ Toledo also is in quest of a battle or the lightweight title. A. Q. Thatch- er, president of the Toledo Athletic lelub, who took a prominent part in he Willard-Dempsey match, seeks to interest Lew Tendler in a propo- sition to meet Leonard in the Swamp ity in a fifteen round bout to a de- cision in November or December. Leonard already has offered to meet endler in a fifteen round contest to referee’'s decision, but the Quaker, although issuing fiery challenges to he champion, pulled in his horns as soon as Leonard announced his wil- lingness to battle to a decision for the itle. Toledo also has a building that will hold more people than Madison Square Garden. This is the Terminal building, and Thatcher believes that a bout between Leonard and Tendler would draw $100,000. The difficulty that Thatcher will en- counter will be the unwillingness of Pendler to take a chance with Leon- ard in a long bout. TIGERS WORK IN RAIN Cpach Roper Puts Squad Through Paces For Three Hours—Herring on Hang to Help Coach. Princeton, N. J., Oct. 15.—In spite /%andling of the ball practically im- possible Bill Roper drilled his Prince- iton football squad here yesterday atternoon for three long hours. The mpractice was held on University field, la¢ the rains of Monday and vester- jday had turned the stadium into a ibog. The greater part of the afternoon rwas devoted to strengthening the de- fensive power of the eleven. Several mew combinations were tried out in the varsity line. Keck was back at his old place at tackle, replacing |Parisette, who enjoyed a day’s rest. Baker was trled out at guard and ffhomas had his hand at the center jposition again. Bigler and Macphee ‘were at the ends during part of the i fternoon. Roper first pitted the varsity jsecond varsity against each other in kcharging practice. One man was jused in the backfield ahd the line- fmen were drilled in opening holes @and tackling. After this the strong Hreshman eleven received the ball on jthe varsity’s 10 vard line. Using wtraight line plays, with an occasional forward pass, the yearling eleven car- ried the ball over the goal line several times. During this defensive work, Strubing, Murrey, Wilmer and Garr! ty worked as the backfield quartet. S ‘ON OPENING. “Y” Basketball Five to Start on December 2. Manager Warren S.

Det and oratori- ike have in- te cal efforts of senato errupted the progress and there were ho indications today that the pro- ceeding would be speeded up in the near future, despite the fact the senate convened an hour earlier. Yesterday the Shantung provisions of the treaty, involving the treatment of China by Japan as authorized by the league of nations covenant, led to one of the most bitter encounters the subject has yet precipitated. Sena- tor Lodge’s speech in favor of amend- ments to that section of the document was followed by a defense of the peace conference action by Senator McCumber, which drew fire from Reed of Missouri and led eventually to appeals to the chair to strike out language. | ARMY V8.
