Gold_schedule makers get the approv- al of the powers for the series of gridiron_ contest contemplated up to date. While the schedule - arranged is omly tentative and has not as vet been approved by the graduate advis- ory committee, the facuity commit- tee has given its consent.in regard to the numper of absentecs and other 1natters pertaining to the collegiate authoritfes so-that it looks as if: the Hill team will play threé extra games next season.

In fact, the arrangement of games at present with Brown the second game on the list, makes the lengthening of the season imperative, for it is highly desirable that Trinity lay at least one game before meeting the big Bruno- nonfan squad.

A meeting of the executive commit- tee of the Eastern Connecticut asso- ciation football league was held Tues- day evening at’Tafts station to decide upon the date and place for the pliy- ing off of the tie between Plainfield and Taftville for the Bulletin cup. After considerable discussion it was decided to plav the game on Sayles field, Bal- tic, Saturday afterncon. It was also decided to have an expert referee from Providence and neutral linesmen. The kick-off will be at 2.30 and in the event of there being a tie at the end of the playing time extra playing will take place. This game will be of unusual interest to the lovers of the British pastime and will be a game that will be hard fought from the Kick-off to the finish._ These two teams met last week at Plainfield, in which Plainfield snatched a victory in the last few minutes of play, ending a very exciting contest. It was proposed at the meeting to play the deciding game on the Acad- emy campus, but this proposition met with little favor. From the standpofnt of the fans it would have been a more appropriate place .for the battle, as it ig easily reached and would not make the expenses of the two clubs any more and besides the campus is one of the best high school grounds in the state. Thke Taftville team will lose a val- uable player in Wilson, who leaves to- day for Scotland, where he will enjoy an extended vacation.

New Y Dec. 15.—The outcome of today’s stock markef, which was awaited withespecial interest, because it signalled a resumption of dealings.in the entire list, was said by brokers to have been a source of disappointment to ‘the lonz account. Initial ' quota- tions in all prominent issues, including the international list, so long under cover, gave promise of a continuance of the strong tone shown in the two preceding sessions. - With the first signs of a demand, however, heavy selling orders appear- ed. and advances socon gave place to declines, which grew with the passing hours. -In the final hour these ran from two to_over five points in the more active issues, with little recovery towards the close. United States Steel and Baltimore and Ohio were espe- clally susceptible to selling pressure. According to report, European inter- ests were active on that side of the account, disposing of fully 25,000 shares. More than half of the day’s busi ness was transacted in the first hour, the balance of the session being dull and without noteworthy feature, aside from its dropping tendency. The de- cline was assisted to a considerable degree, it was believed, by realizing for profits and by some bear ‘or short selling, which was resorted to despite supposed ‘safeguards. On the whole, the course of the mar- ket reflected conservatism on the part of “inveéstors, no -less than caution by the bears, who realized that the mar- gin between the existing level and the minimum imposed by the exchange left little room for profits. Less was heard,today of theireport- ed-attitude of the interstate commerce commission respecting the eastern freight case, and the fact that the large steel interests were soon to ar- range their wage schedules for the coming year, with prospects of a gen- eral reduction, made for further pause in_that quarter. Relchsmarks were lower, a condition somewhat at variance with the reports of German stock sales here. Bills on London were steady and the markets at that center reflected a stronger tone. Long time loans in the local market hardened a trifle, with short dates un- changed. Bonds weakened in sympa- thy.with stocks. Total sales (par value) $2,063,000.

Tar Baby Has Beon in Training for Eleven. Years—HMas Fought Many Battles. “Tham wins.” That announcement following the desperate battle in which Sam Lang- ford, the negro fighter, beat Harry Wills marks the climax of what is perhaps the most remarkable career in the prize ring. Langford, beaten all the way, fat, old and out of condi- tion, cut locse a short arm jab to the jaw that knocked the saddle-colored rival silly and paved the way to the quick knockout may sing their praises of fighters big and small, but Sam Lanzg- ford comes nearer being the greatest prizefighter of the time than any other, In looking over his record it is found there is a record of 152 fights he has foyght since 1903, when as a voung unknown he came down from Nova Scotla and commenced fighting. In these fights he has a record of 1,106 rounds, which means about six rounds to the battie—and -all that ‘can be found in the record is four legitimate defeats. Tham has fought them all. In one season he met 'Joe Gans and Jack Johnson—which 1s co.isiderable range of weight.for anyvone, and he has fought all over the world. In one year he fought in New York, Francigco, London, Winnipeg and Australla and France, which caused him to travel some. Langford was born, according to the dope, on March 4, 1886, at Weymouth, Nova Scotia. There are rumors that the date is not accurate, but Tham vows that is the time as far as he re- members. £ He was a little bit of a fellow, just getting over 5 feet 6 inches, but, like his prototype, Joe Walcott, he is large of the shoulders and chest, with won- derful recuperative powers. . His arms are short and heavy and his grin is imperishable. He can get mad in a fiftieth of a second and be laughing before that second is ended, which is another of Walcott's peculiarities. One of the odd things about his rec- ord is the number of times he has battled with the same opponents. There are four goes with Jim Flynn and six with Sam McVey, but the honors of having been Deaten up by Tham remain a tie between Jim Bar- ry and Joe Jeannette, with Jeannette still having a chance to win that honor. Jim Barry and Langford fought 11 times before Barry finally would ad- mit that he could be beaten, and thus far Jeannette and Tham have fought 11_times. Langford has practically beem in continuous training for 11 years, bas met all comers and has chased all champions with never a crack at the heavyweight title. Jack Johnson never wanted any of his game even though he won from Tham in 1906. A complete list of his battles would be interesting. On those that have been recorded Tham has fought two MORAN & things for men.

When a member of the Winter league heard that Walter Johnson was tfo get $20,900 a year from the Feds he remarked, “Yes, but everybody has suffered on account of the war.

Fielding Yost, of Michigan, con- tributed to a symposium on the coach- ing problem ‘in “The Daily Prince- tonian,” and what do you think! He's in favor of the one-man system. With- out bothering to inquire we'll wager George Stallings, John McGraw. Per- cy Haughton and the Czar of Russia are of the same mind.
