PLAINFIELD WINS TITLE IN SOCCER FOOTBALL LEAGUE Captures Bulletin Cup for Setond Time—Competition Not So Keen in 1915. ‘The competition in the Eastern Con- necticut Soccer football league for the Bulletin cup was not so keen during 1915 as it was in 1914, owing to the withdrawal of Baltic and the Pone- mah Wheel club. The new comerd in the league, Goodyear club of Wil- liamsville, were weak, but towards the latter part of the season they gradu- ally grew stronger and at the close of the scason they were able to extend the other teams. Plainfleld with ease ran away with the cup winning all games save one and placed on the fleld a team well balanced with a ‘great combination. The record standing of the leagie follows: Played W. L.

The Norwich Free Academy football eleven of 1915 was the best gridiron combination that the school has turned out since 1910. Of the 13 games on the schedule, they won seven, lost three, and tied three. Both on the field and financially the team was a big success, and Coach J. C. Overbagh has the honor of placing a team on the fleld that has defeated thelr ancient rivals, Bulkeley High, of New London, in five years. The team was captained by Bob O’Hearn and managed by Emerson Jones. The Academy boys cleaned up every high school in eastern Connecti- cut and have a right to proclaim them.- selves the champions of this section of the state. This may be disputed, as the Vocational school of New London | held the Academy to a tie, but the New Londoners were clearly outplayed in | all departments, and the Academy was ‘handicapped, as their two best players were absent from the lineup. Bruce MacMillan has been elected the leader of the 1954 eleven and under his guidance the p'-'spects for a win- ning team are br The record of thew 1915 playing sea- son follows: Sept. 25, Windham High 0, N.

PEACE NOTE SOUNDS IN BASEBALL WORLD Decrease In Interest During .1915 Owing to Federal League Opposi tion. The sound of the bugle note of peace has been heard in the baseball world and the dove has alighted in tire camps of the American, National and Federal baseball leagues. The past year has seen many changes in base- ball and ‘can be laid to the fact that the war between the Federals and ma- jors, which has waged continuously throughout two seasons, has depressed interest far less than might have beén expected. But the present indications at this writing are that scores will be settled, peace and harmony will reign, ahd prosperity for the grand old game until something else springs up. There was a decrease in the interest in baseball this year. Many reasons were given for the slump, among them being the Federal league opposition and a disposition on the part of many popular piayers to jump contracts, dis- play disloyalty and to openly show far greater interest in their salaries than iu their playing. There was a falling off in attendance in all the cities of both the National and American leagues, and the real old-fashioned in- terest in the game did not return until the world's series games at the end of the season. The Boston Red Sox of the American league won the world’s series, defeat- ing the Philadelphia club of the Na- tional league by four games to one. It was the first time in the 34 years of the National league that a Phila- delphia elub has won the pennant. This feat was accomplished by Pat Moran, a manager who was serving his first year in that capacity. Moran, with the aid -of a remarkable pitcher, Grover Cleveland Alexander, and a sensational home run batsman, <Cravath, swept through the league to the front, easily finishing ahead of the former world’s champions, the Boston Braves. The Brooklyn club was third, the highest the Dodgers have finished in the race in a dozen years. GRE‘E'N'EVIILLE &G % HAD STRONG TEAM Football Season a Successful One— Fleming Was Captain. The Greeneville Athletic club placed on the football flield this last fall an cleven of great strength; out of the six games played they won three, tied two und one contest ended in a dis- pute. The team was handicapped in the early part of the season in chang- ing managers and other obstacles were encountered. Bill Fleming was cap- tain and the season wound up with the managerial berth in the hands of Joe Gadle. The record of the eleven follows: Oct. 10—Independents 0, G A. C. 52. Oct 24—N. F. A 0, G.

Has No- Parallel in History of Pugil- ism. ‘A fight that has no parallel in the history of the pugilistic rings was that when Jess Willard, contender for the heavyweight title, knocked out Jack Johnson, the holder, on April 5th, at Havana. ‘Willard is the biggest man who ever entered the prize ring as a white hope and through his ability to take a se- vere punishing was probably the main asset of his victory. For 26 rounds these ring gladiators hammered and pounded each other, with the white hope getting the brunt of the punish- mwent until the 19th round, when Wil- lard took the aggressive side of the fight, but the clever negro warded off his attacks, The battle waged on until the 24th, when it was quite noticeable that the negro battler was tiring, and Jess, who secmed fresh to the fray, let loose punches of a howitzer calibre which | Johnson was unable to stand and duck. The final blow came in the 26th, when A 1 ¥ BRUCE MACMILLAN N. F. A. 1916 Football Captain Willard pasted one to the jaw and stomach, which forced the champion to_take the count. It has been reported that the knock- out blow had the appearance of suspi- ! cion and many attacks have been made on the genuineness of the fight, but it is clear in the minds of fight fans and fcllowers that the negro was tiring fast and could not compete with; it seemed, his fresher opponeat. Fred Fulton, the young giant heavy- weight from Rochester, Minn., has been selected to battle Willard for the heavyweight title in New Orleans the early part of March. - JOHN D. NOLAN JR. WON BULLETIN CUP Only one good game was played that was against Prlneetm The men from Cambridge showed some football in that contest and one of the many surprises by a victory. But Yale did the thing a week later and the pubiic &an to sit up and take notice. Then came the Yale-llarvard game, which reculted in-a -funeral for the hopes of Old Eli and ‘4 démonstration of what one good team can do to:a poor ome. This 41 to 0 score made Harvard mted the Crimson .stock,: but the really flad an easy time of fit, and the battle can be compared that fought with, Springfield Y. A Had Yale been stronger. on Nova. ‘ber 20, or an oppoment. of equal strength sent against Harvard in the final contest, the team probably would have recelved more recoghition. - But In Y. M. C. A. Five Mile Marathon Race on Memorial Day. In a most sensational and grueling race John D. Nolan,:Jr., son of the famous John D., won The Bulletin cup Memorial day in a five mile Marathon race conducted under the auspices of the local Y. M. C. A. Alex Charnetski came in second and the winner of this event was not determined until the, final few yards. This event has become a yearly event and last year great interest was shown in the classic. The streets of the city were thronged with people all along the course. This was the third cup that The Bulletin has donated to athletic events during the past two years. CITY LEAGUE ORGANIZED DURING 1915 Finished Season After Hard Struggles —Sluggers Won Championship On May 11th a City league was or- ganized which played throughout the season after a few halts and reorgan- izing of the teams; nevertheless the league officials stuck to their posts and succesded in carrying out their playing schedule. [~ The champipnship title was won by the Sluggers of Taftville, and the Ems eralds carried off the second honors. At first the league games did not; tract much of a crowd; during thé lat- ter part of the season great interest was manifested and the closeness of the games added much. INTERSCHOLASTIC LEAGUE. Stonington Hich Won Baseball Hnmr- In 1915 Season. An _interscholastic among the principal high schools in eastern Connecticut, was formed on Jan. 23d. The schools represented were Norwich' Free _Academy, Stonington High, Westerly High, Windham High, Putnam High and Bartlett High. The league was organized through the ef- forts of Bruce MacMillan of the Acad- emy, who held the managerial position of the Academy nine. The league was a big success, creat- ing much_interest and keen friendly rivalry. Stonington High won the championship. From all indications the league will be launched again for the playing sea- son in Aprll.' 19156 FOOTBALL SEASON JAMMED Wi WITH UPSETS. Cornell Had Best Season in History— Pittsburg Shares Honcrs With Ith- acans. ‘baseball league, After a season jammed With sur- prises three football teams emerged from the mob with claims of the East- ern championship. Just why they in- sisted on accepting the honors is not known, but they have made lots of noise, and_something must be done to stop it. There, is no way to award the championship _except _ through the grandoldope, and this has been used so much during the fall that we swill take one more shot of it before the curtdin falls. Cornell, Pittsburgh and Harvard de- serve a place in the big show, with the first pair leading in the fleld. Har- vard comes next, and the others trail along in order until Pennsylvania-and Yale was no match, and the only rem~ son that more points were not scored was because Harvard. players got tir- ed crossing the goal line. . The Crim. son met an equal foe in Cornell and lost. “Therefore Cornell. Has the bet- ter team. 7 Princeton. started out' with a rush (no joke intended) and walloped the strong Rutgers eleven in_the second game on the schedule. It was first big triumph of the year, and Tiger adherents boldly predicted that the team would win the championship. Speedy Rush, the new coach, intro- duced his new system and it was huge success. Then came Syracus one of the strongest teams in East, and Princeton.- by the s of 3 to 0. Lafayette, Dartmouth L:E Williams fell by the wayside, burl under a mass of touchdowns and fi goals, and when the Harvard matin was called the Jungleers were una: mously selected to get first money. 4The loss of the game was a pfise, and when - Yale: played an e core, to the work begun by .

Penn te. a rtul and T i ite ge system the installation of a new coach. Dick Harlow deserves lots of credit for his work this fall, and can classe with the best coaches in the country: His team won from Lehigh, Lafay- ette and Penn, and lost to Haryard after one of the hardest games evér staged in the stadiy + | were evently mat score should - have . the game on Th: ths Smoketown folks | such a team that it was no. disgrace. and althougl e - game Dl % defeat, in the North resulted Southerners showed ‘that- they co play football and give any:team a for their money. Cornell scored the first victory over this team in two years, .and had to overcome a lead 21 points to do it. Johnny- one of the best halfbacks I have ever seen, was the offensive s the eleven, and Ted Shultz, the All~ Amerian tackle,” did most of the wmt on the line. Walter Elcock; ‘the ol Dartmouth star, was head coach the team, and" was assisted by Rmaq and Jiggs Donahue. Virginia's victory over Yale placed ! the team in_ the limelight, and two’ weeks later Harvard had a hard in winning 10 to 0. This was the only. defeat suffered by the team this year. Bob Folwell took two old players and built up a new team around them:. at Washington and Jeffereson,and fin~; ished the season with only one defeal, Pitt winning by the score of 19 to It was a remarkable feat, and Fol- ! well's reputation as a coach did not.! suffer. Brown and’ Dartmouth _had % poor teams and lost many games. i Yale gets place No. 13 on the list, | and fell so low because so many ' eams defeated her. It was the most" disastrous season in Old Eli's and even Thom Shevlin, with hi nesota shift and applied psychology, could not drag the team out of mud. Perhaps something will happen next year and the team will get out} o the rut. There s room for improyet | ment. il NORWICH FREE ACADEMY 1915 FOOTBALL ELEVEN.
