Heyd- ler, president of the National league, vesterday cxpressed dissent from the conclusion of Judge Landis, high commissioner of organized baseball, that events had shown a nine-game schedule for the world’s series to be too long. Commissioner Landis in a statement made after the final game on Thursday had announced his in- tention of advocating at the joint ses- sion of the major leagues in the com- winter the reduction of the number of games to a possible seven, the winner of four contests to be de- clared the victor. “This will be done,” said Judge Landis, “in the belief that it is very generally accepted that the ideal world's championship is de- cided by the winning of-foiir games, as was the rule prior to 1919. The present lengthy series overtaxes the patience of the public.” HEISMAN’S PLAN. Yale News Prints Proposed Equaliza- tion of Weight For Football Teams. New Haven, Oct. 15.—John Heis- man, the University of Pennsylvania coach and formerly of Georgia Tech., came out today in The Yale Daily News favoring division of football elevens in three classes—heavyweights, middleweights and lightweights. The weights at which he would make the classification are 165, 155 and 145 pounds. He stated that he felt that many of the severe injuries of recent years would have been prevented if this division ha@l been put into effect. He alluded to the fact that wrestling and boxing are safeguarded by the weight classifications and advocated changes by the football rules commit- tee, by state legislatures or college faculties which will similarly protect tootball, 295 457—1304 89— 255 90— 243 112— 285 86— 254 108— 309 Van Duzer .

This has been over- come, and there should be no reason to set forth this claim as an alibi aft- er tomorrow’s game providing either team is returned the victor. The Nut- megs have had the benefit of the coaching of G. M. Cassidy, the. High school gridiron mentor. Under his direction, and with the acquisition of new men, the Nutmegs have reached a finished stage in the opin- ion of the management and followers, that will earn for the team the state title this season. New Men With R. T’s. The Rambler-Tigers will have sev- eral new faces in’ tomorrow’s lineup, in Courtney, Murphy, Whalen and McDonald. These stars did not play with the R.-T's in the previous Nut- megs-Rambler-Tigers contest. ‘Great things are expected of this quartet by the Ilartford rooters. Courtney, at one time played with the Nutmegs. “Tackey” Whalen, has for -several years enjoyed the reputation of be- ing one of,the best football players in Connecticut, and in Murphy, the Rambler-T’gers boast of a wonderful end. Premo, whose line smashes stood out in the last game between the teams, will again be seen at fullback for the visitors tomorrow ‘and an- other familiar face will be that of, “Dutch” Zlent, a former wrestler. The Hartford team will be accom- panied by a delegation of 2,000 or more rooters. THis crowd is coming in a special train.and special auto- mobile buses. New songs have been practiced by the Rambler-Tigers for tomorrow’s contest. Nu:megs Are Strengthened. The Nutmegs will enter the fray tomorrow confident of victory. It will practically be the same team that Steam Rollerg here last |Sunday, that will line up against the Rambler-Tigers tomorrow. Talbot, the sterling quarterback, who has been out of the game for the past two week, will return to his posi- tion tomorrow. Frankie and Eddie Rarnikow, will be at the halfback po- sitions, wih either Dill or Carpen- ter, starting at fullback. The Nut- megs will e well fortified with back- field men fur tomorrow's game, with Scott, Flyna and Kenney on hand to enter the fray when called upon. HOYT IN VAUDEVILLE.

PERFECTO | TEN CENTS QUALITY SMOKE SHOP WEST MAIN STREET NEXT WEEK—6 ACTS TED LEWIS ‘AGAIN DEFEATS BASHAM English Middleweight Title Holder is,| Knocked Out in The Twelfth Round. London, Oct. 15.— Ted L%wis. last night stopped Johnny Basham, mid- dleweight champion of England in the twelfth round of a bout scheduled for twenty rounds. The contest took place at Albert hall, and Lewis had the up- per hand from start to finish. This is the third time Lewis has knocked out Basham, the other two victories being recorded while Bash- am was welter champion of England. Should Lewis elect to remain here he would be recognized as both the welter and middleweight champion of England. Lewis, however, shows a propensity to fiit to America as soon as he wins a battle. Basham's seconds ended the terrific punishment which Lewis was inflict- ing on him by tossing a towel into the ring in acknowledgement of defeat. Lewis outclassed his man from the start. Basham received a badly bat- tered car, from which the blood flowed treely. In the eleventh round a right to the jaw sent him down for the count of nine, the gong saving him. RACING MEET ENDS Bad Spill Occurs in Last Heat of Af- ternoon at Lexington—Horses and Drivers Escape Injury. Lexington, Ky., Oct. 15.—The forty- ninth annual meeting of the Kentucky Trotting Horse Breeders’ association came to a close vesterday afternoon with the 2:05 trot and 2:01 pace at features. FEach proved a good con- test, Jane the Great winning the trot after losing the first heat to Kilo Watts, and Sanardo capturing the pace ‘after finishing third in the sec- ond heat, won by Hal Mahone. The final heat of the meeting was marred by a bad spill when Sir Roch and Senator Wilkes went down while rounding the first turn. Charles Dean, Jr., and Harry Gray were handling the reins on the two horses. Neither horses nor drivers sustained serious injuries. In the opening heat of the 2:05 trot Driver Childs took Kilo Watts to the front and kept her there despite a determined stretch drive by Cox who was handling Jane the Great. In the gecond heat Kilo Watts again went into the lead, but the Cox mare over- hauled her in the stretch to win going away and won the third heat easily. PLAY IN UNIONVILLE Shamrocks Will Take on Town. Team Tomorrow Afternoon—Welch in the Linc-up. The fast Shamrock club that held the Plainville team to a 7-7 tie last Sunday in the “Sand Town,”’ will play the All-Unionville club tomorrow af- ternoon in Unionville. The locals will leave the Tabs’ rooms at 12:30 o’cléck, making the trip to Unionville by auto truck. The regular line-up, strengthened by the acquisition of Marty Welch at end, will play. A practice game will be played Sunday morning at 10 o’'clock at St. Mary's playgrounds. BOGASH IS BEATEN. Boston, Mass.,, Oct. 15.—Lou Bo- gash of Bridgeport, got the beating long overdue, when he was bested by Pal Reed of Framingham' at the Arena last night. The referee's de- cision was greeted with applause. PLAYERS MEET T0 DIVIDE THE SPOILS Giants to Split $181,63—Yanks Share Is $87,766.67 New York, Oct. 15. — The Giants, world’s champions again after sixteen years of effort, planning and scheming by John McGraw, went to the Polo Grounds yesterday with the Yankees, but not to play baseball. Tho men on both teams had weighty financial mat- ters on. hand, and held meetings in executive session to decide on a divis- ion of the spoils allotted to them from the first five games of the big event. The diants have $131,635 to split, the Yankees $87,766.67. The differ- ence between those two sums prob- ably what that stop and throw by Johnny Rawlings and Kelly's throw to Frisch in the ninth inning of Thurs- day's throbbing battle means to the two: teams. A $43,000 double play! It will take rank with the $30,000 muff of Fred Snodgrass, 'way back in 1912, which also robbed McGraw of a ! world’s title. “Splitting” Their Shares. If the Giants and Yankees had agreed on a division on the basis of twenty-five players for each club, the winners would have received $5,365.40 and the losers $3,510.26. But a num- ber of split shares will be given, men who were with their clubs only part of the season being allotted less than the regulars. These schemes of dis- tribution were sent to Judge Landis, baseball commissioner, for his O. K. before the checks will be sent out. There was quite a stormy time in the Yankee meeting. Frank Roth, the coach; Al De Vormer, the big sub- stitute catcher; Bjll Piercy and Tom Rogers left the club house in a huff over some decision, probably cutting them to less than they think they're entitled to. The Giants practically agreed on a scheme of division on the train coming coming home from St. Louis, so their labors were easy. They had their first group photograph as the world’s champs of 1922, and the only thimg the matter with it is that George Burns wasn’'t present. He's probably on his way to some qulet spot for a winter’s rest after the ex« citement. Can’t Go Barnstorming. While the playera were at their club houlks they received formal notiga from Judge Landis that the men on both teams Wwill be forbidden-to ‘‘barn- storm’ this year, and there were some wry faces, for a team called ‘“‘Babe Ruth’s Stars’” had already been form- ed, with Ruth, Mays, Schang, Hoff- man, and other Yankees in the line- up to play at Newark on Sunday. The Yanks had understood that only the team: ‘witming “the - . was affected by the ruling. Ruth told the promoter of the Jersey game, “I'll be there’’ on Sunday, with the accent on the “I,” but he' probably will think bétter of it. The statement is very plain in the new rules governing the World’'s Series signed last year by Judge Landis and the club owners. Section 8, paragraph B, says: “Both teams that contest in the ‘World’s Series are required to disband immediately after its close, and the members thereof are forbidden to par- ticipate as individuals or as a team in exhibition games during the year in which the world’s championship was decided.” The actual division of the money will probably come next Tuesday, but many of the players have decided not to wait until then. Rawlings, the in- dividual star of the,last game, said he'd take the first train he could get after the meeting yesterday. Bob Meusel, another Californian, is going to the coast to get married, the pros- FOOTBALL MENTOR PRAYS FOR VICTORY Earle “Greasy” Neale Tells W. and J. Students He Always Prays for Success of Team ‘Washington, Pa., Oct. 15.—“I am Jjust an ordinary man, but I have never sent a teaminto a game without pray- ing that my men would win and that they would not be hurt.” This was one sentence of a remark- able speech made to the Washington and Jefferson under-graduates and football players at a big mass meet- ing last night by BEarle “Greasy” Neale, of major leagne baseball fame, on the eve of the big game with Carnegie Tegh. The Red and Black mentor appeared in a new role before the W. and J. undergraduates. “Anything that is not worth praying for is not worth hav- ing,” he told the biggest gathering of students that was ever assembled. “And I am praying devoutly,” he con- tinued, “that Washington and Jeffer- son will win. Maybe my prayers have not been backed up by the €ffort that is necessary, but I believe ‘that this Washington and Jefferson team will redeem itself. Neale's spech, which was one of several made by prominent W. and J. men to the students and a wonder- ful effect. The coach received a re- markable ovation and when he finish- ished his talk, tears were streaming dow the faces of many. WILL AGGEPT DEFI “Kid”’ Benjamin Willing to Wrestle Eddie Shaboo, Providing He Defeats Young Hercules Tonight. F.

Navy, and will accommodate the gob provid- ing he is successful in his bout with “‘Young Hercules’’ at Berlin tonight. Thé Plainville boy, while he is confid- ent of beating the speedy Italian this evening, states that he will not do busi- ness with Shaboo until after he has dis- posed of his opponent. The manage- ment of tonight's affair has arranged for a social program in connection with the bout this evening. TO .FIGHT AS SCHEDULED.: Gibbons and O’Dowa’ Defy Kansas, At- torney General’s Orders. Wichita, Kan., 15.—The West- ern Athletic associdtion yesterday an- nounced that the fifteen-round boxing contest. between Mike Gibbons and Mike O‘Dowd, middleweights, would take place Tuesday night as scheduied, regardless of the ruling of Attorney General Richard J. Hopkins, who said the fight would be & “(ojation.of the state law. b “Until we are epjeingd, by a court of competent jurisdiction from allow-. ing the fight to take place,” the an- nouncement said, “we can promise the Ppublic that they will see the bout as advertised. We are ready to go into court if necessary and feel that we can convince the court that we are violating no law.” Mr. Hopkins yesterday reiterated his declaration of Thursday that the bout will not be allowed. to take place. He said: “The Gibbons-O'Dowd fight will not be allowed to take place. It is a flagrant violation of the Kansas boxing law. Tf necessary I will have officers on hand to stop it.” pective bride being Miss Edith Cowan, whom he has known all his life. The Yankee team was given a din- ner at the' Commodore last night by Cols. Ruppert and Huston. Only the players were invited. ' BILLY SHADE WINS BOUT WITH KEISER Australian Makes Good in His New York Debut New York, Oct. 15.—Billy Shade and Fay Keiser made good with a ven- gence in Madison Square Garden last night in one of the grittiest figzhts seen here in years. At the end of fifteen rounds, Shade gained the decision. Keiser, though badly beaten, was the hero of the fray because of his un- flinching gameness under a perfect hailstorm of blows. Shade is a wonderfully clever two- handed boxer and a stout-hearted fighter to boot. He took the best right handers that Keiser had and never took a back step unless it was part of his clever attack. He has all pres- ent day boxers in this or any other country standing still when it comes to everlasting perpetual motion. The night’s fun started with a Joe dandy bout between Harold Farese and Terry McHugh. It was an eight- round battle, and battle is the word, for a harder opener has seldom been seen in the old Garden. They locked toes and didn’'t budge from the posi- tion for the entire distance. It went along like this until the last bell tinkled. As they were coming out of one very last clinch, McHugh caught Farese with a short right hook and dumped his man flat on his back. Be- fore the referee could begin a count, Farese was up and back into the thick of it. Despite the capsizing of Mas- ter Farese, it was so close that the officials had to call it a draw. Eddie O'Dowd and Abe Goldstein came next in another eight-round slasher and aga™ the judges were hard put to select a windner. It was a pretty two-handed mill, both men giving and taking plenty of punish- ment, even Jack Dempsey, the Steel Man, at the ringside, winced until he almost fell off his chair. Jack Burke 0f Pittsburgh anj Gene Tunney were the semi-finalists. It was_ short and sweet—too short, for the referee refused to allow Burke to come out for the third round because of an unusually deep cut suffered by Burke in the previous round and sweet be- cause it was a real fight.
