The reason for Jack Johnson's sud- den flurry of matchmaking is said to De that he lacks funds. If this is so Johnson must nave broken the spendthrift record. though not an active champion Johnson's earnings are computed at close to $300,000 dur- ing the six years he has held the title, This sum represents the takings from 11 fights and also includes the- atrical emgagements. Although John- son has been fighting for thirteen years it was not until he won the title from Tommy Burns thet he was able to lay aside a surplus. Previous to that he had led a_hand-to-mouth existencs, always in debt to his va- rious managers, who succeeded each other in rapid succession. But with the title in his possession Johnson’s fortunes underwent a great change. The $5,000 he received for Dbeating Burns, although a small frac- tion of the purse, was the largest sum he had ever received up to that fime. For a time Johnson was modest in his demands. He was satisfled with 35,000 for bouts with Victor MclLagh- len, Jack O’Brien, Tony Ross and Al Kaufman. Then came the match with Stanley Ketchel. By this time John- son had gained considerable assurance and he demanded and received $12,000 for his end. » ‘But it was the Jeffries match that made Johnson’s fortune. In all he was paid $120,000, which included his share of the purse, the moving pic- tures and advertising privileges. After that Johnson's idea of his worth took a bound. He announced £80,000 every time he entered the ring, no matter who his opponent might be, This was the sum he was supposed to have received for meeting Jim Fiynn, dut it is fairly well known that he actually received not more than $10,000, as the fight proved to be a For taking part in an exhibition bout with Jim Johnson in Johnson received 35,000, This was his share of the recelpts, which did not come up to expectations owing to the fact that Langford and Jeaenette were to appear in a real fight the follow- ing night. Johnson’s share of the receipts of the bout with Frank Moran may amount to something like $35,000. So far however, he has not been able to as_the money is tied up by the ch courts. It Johnson’s matches with Jess Wil- lard and Sam McVey go through he will be well paid for his trouble al- though he is likely to receive less than advertised in connection ‘unless Johnson loses the films will be of no value. However, it is esti- mated that, the pictures of Johnson going down to defeat before a white man will be worth several thousand Gollars. Some day -Johnson is going * to have a share in that .

Stanley, last year’s baseball captain. Eighteen in all who won their “N” this season cast votes. Beebe has played a strong game all through the season and was one of the most powerful men of the squad. The team next season ought to be a good one, as only two or three will be lost by graduation. The most se- vere loss will be that of the past season’s captain, Frank P. Murtha, who has made a big name for him- self in football at the academy. It has been suggested by several that the students try and form a bas- ketball team to represent the school as from all indications they ought to be able to get together a fast bunch of tossers. Other high schools in this vicinity, have teams and it is generally thoughth that basketball at the academy would be a success. The only hold-tack seems in securing a place to play, but this matter can be casily overcome and a school of t academy’s calibre ought to be repr€- sented in this sport. BEST TEAM EVER TURNED OUT AT WEST POINT. Coaches Think the Team Was Unbeat- able—Lose Five by Graduation. West Point, N. Y, Nov. 30.—The Army football team “as a whole” was considered by its coaches as the best ever turned out at West Point- T statement was made today by Lieu- tenant Charles D. Daly of ‘the Third field battery, who has coached the Army eleven for the past two years. The lieutenant left today for Fort Sam Houston, Texas, to rejoin his command and took occasion before he departed to comment on the work of the team. “We are unwilling to admit that there was any team in the country that could beat it,” he said. “Its excellence the efficiency of ition coaches who worked so faithfully for its success, Head h Daly's assistants In moulding the Arriy eleven this year were Captains Graves and Sulten and Lieutenants Hammond, Thompson, Pullen, Hayes, Stilwell and Stearns. All except the resident coaches who are stationed here have returned to their commands. By the graduation of the first class backfield is_hard t, c] Van Fleet, Hodgson and Benedict all becoming officers in the army at that time. The line, however, will remain i for Merrillat, the forward pass star, who also will be graduated. . in June the Army’s it Captain _Pri NICKALLS’ SERVICES AT YALE ARE DOUBTFUL. Rowing Coach Will Offer His Services to English Army. . Whether Yale will be able to retain the services of Guy Nickalls, her Eng- lish crew coach, during the spring sea- son or not, is conditioned on his ability to absent himself from the military service next March- Nickalls is on his way home to England and said before he left Yale that he would offer his services to his native country before his return. He stated that he discuss- e6 with British military authorities before he came to Yale this fall.the matter of going to the front and was tcld that he would not be needed im- veratively before his return after the close of the fall rowing season. Nickalls feels that, if England’s need of his services is imperative, his first duty lies in offering them for use in the European war. He hopes,; however, t> be able to come back to America in the spring and to remain until the close of_the rowing season. When the oarsmen are called out for winter work Eugene Giannini, the for- mer New York Athletic club coach, and Captain Bayne Denegre of the rresent crew will direct the work till the return of Nickalls. The winter rowing in the indoor tanks will begin about Feb. 1. Rarely has cold weather stopped the Yale rowing in the middle of November, but the storm of the past week made further work on the harbor impossible. The weather was colder than many January-records have been and rowing could not continue. Following the fall regatta, which was keld two weeks ago, a couple of var- sity crews were organized for daily spins. They were entirely reorganized fo1 the eights who rowed all the fall previous to the regatta,which disclosed some unexpected results. The first varsity eight had been stroked by Bob Gilfillan, the varsity four stroke last siring, and it contained Captain Dene- gre. It was easily defeated by the second eight, which was stroked by Henry Coe, who rowed No. 6 in the freshman eight last spring. Gilfillan’s chances for winning the varsity eight stroke oar assignment for next season seem to be slight after the showing in the regatta. * Gilfillan stroked the var- sity eight all of last winter, but lost hi¢ seat to Jack Appleton by virtue of Appleton’s brilliant stroking of the second eight in the spring regatta, W, AND J.

Trading suggested extreme caution at all times, but the movement was broader than on Sat- urday, Altogether about 80 issues changed hands, with a marked preponderance of substantial declines, the losses in some instances extending to as_much as seven points in inactive bonds. On the other hand a few gains of nom- inal proportions were registered, main- ly In local tractions and some indus- trials and specialties whose business has derived some benefit from the foreign war. In its chief essentials the market was accepted as a natural one under existing circumstances. There was no concerted movement to sell and In the early dealings some issues were not obtainable at minimum prices. This resulted in higher bids. Mercantile Marine bonds, which start- ed off with a slight recovery from last Saturday’s spectacular decline, soon fell back on what appeared to be spec- ulative selling. New Haven sixes were reported to have been sold by institutions, Regular quotations for call and time loans were resumed on the ex- change. The opening rate for call money was 5 per cent but the abund- ant supply soon caused a fall to 4 1-4 closing at 4 1-2. Time loans up to six months were negotiated at 4 1-2 per cent, and a number of 5 per cent contracts expiring tomorrow were re- newed on the first named basis. Some foreign sales were submitted to the committee in charge of. all of- ferings and it was understood that they were approved. Total sales of the session amounted to $1,358,000, par value, which was copsiderably under the normal. Issues which sustained the greatest losses included Northern Pacific 3's, Southern Pacific refundings, Westing- house Electric 5's, Central Pacific 4's, Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific railway §’s, Kansas City Southern 6's, €hicago and Alton 3 1-2's, Oregon Short Line 6's, Tennessee, Virginia 5’s, Central of New Jersey 5 ern Pacific terminal 4’ tral &s and Lorillard 7 Cotton Market New York, Nov. 30.—Spot BOND MARKET.

Princeton men are trying hard to see the silver lining in the cloud which hangs over Tiger football as a result of the season of 1914 Many maintain that the silver is not only there, but that it is well polished. The chief requisite f¢® uncovering it in 1915 is held to be an adequate coaching sys- tem, and the agitation for the desired new change has become so. insistent that a new and permanent coach is practically assured. % Only four men of regular standing on the 18914 eleven will be lost by graduation, while five substitutes who won their varsity letters for playing a short time in either the Harvard or Yale games will receive their diplomas in June. The backfield as it played in_the memorable fourth quarter of the Yale struggle, when the Tigers awoke to sweep Hinkey’s men back for two touchdowns in eight minutes, will re- main intact. All but three line posi- tions will be able to draw from the same list of candidates, while several men of high promise will step up from the freshman team. The season just closed was the time o all times for Princeton to utilize the unusual material attracted to the Or- arge and Black by the championship in 1811. It failed, most authorities be- ve, because of the lack of responsible coaching, but it is not too late yet for tiat material to show its real power. The heaviest losses sustained will be in the line, where there will be gaping vacancies left by Captain Ballin, an undisputed all-American tackle, and E. Trenkmann and Shenk, a pair of guards, probably as near to all-Ame: can variety as could be found on any single team in the east this year. The only loss in the backfield will be in the graduation of Fred Trenkmann, who alternated at halfback with Glick most of this season. COLLEGE BASKETBALL. Columbia Has Good Material—Yale's Prospects Not Up to Past Years. \ ‘With the football season oyer, inter- est among the big coleges will turn to the Intercollegiate Basketball league. The league will comprise the same six members as last year, Columbia, Penn- sylvania, Yale, Princeton, Dartmouth, and Cornell. With the new possibill- ties for fast play and good team work with the overhand passing, the league should have a better season even than last, which was the most successful in tho history of the league. Cornell and Columbia tied for first honors last year and both are considered strong con- tenders for this year’s championship. The league does not start for a month yet, but several of the collezes open tkeir season before that time. Colum- on December 4 Princeton plays Man hattan college December 5, while Cor: rell's first contest is with Canislus college on December 12 Prospects at Columbia larly bright this vear. Fisher issued an ear dates, and is hard at work large -squad. Four of last year' erans—Captain Benson, Lee, Dwyer and Wegener—have returned to college, Only Meehan, last season’s captain, i lost to the team through graduation, and he has been on hand at several practices to aid Fisher. Scky” Cal- der, star forward two years ago with St. Lawrence university, Is available, and is expected to form with the other four an unbeatable combination. The Blue and White will play seven- teen games, the longest and hardest schedulé a Columbia team has ever faced. Eleven will be home games and six will be played on the road. Cornell has had practice for over a week, but has been handicapped be- cause Coach Al Sharpe has not been able to devote any attention to the squad. With the football season over, however, he will begin to drive the men. The Ithacans are hard hit by the loss of the Halstead brothers, two of the best plavers in the league. Cap- tain Lunden 11 play forward and will have the services of four of last year's veterans—Brown, forward; Haebele, center, and Ashmead and Jandorw, guards. With a hald-dozen more men out than last season’s squad of forty, the Red and White is well supplied with material and should prove as dangerous as ever. Yale is not expected to prove as for- midable as last year. Captain Swi- hart, who was nearly the whole of last season’s team, is not back this year. No material of any promise has been uncovered to date, but to arouse en- thusiasm an interclass and an inter- dormitory series is now being held. The Blue may, however, prove a dark horse. At Princeton Coach Luehring is com- plaining that his material is below standard weight, but with the addition of sereval of the football candidates who are now available he should have the largest squad of any of the col- leges.

Official Average Shows Little Diffie: ence With Published Figures. The official batting averages of play- ers of the National league announced Sunday night show little difference to| those already published. The records are based on the work of the players who participated in any manner in at least fifteen championship games dur- ing the season of 1914 Jake Daubert, the Brooklyn first baseman heads the list_with .329, or .004 ahead of Beals Becker of Philadelphia.

Four players are| placed ahead of Daubert, but not one played a sufficient number of games to entitle him to an official standing on the list. That the batting of the National league for last season was far below the average of the last ten years, is by the fact that only eleven players in the league succeded in reaching the coveter ‘300 mark, and three of thess reached even figures George Burns is the only player on the to figure in the roll of honor, his average being .306.
