Althovsh Lesy Darcy has been the fistic idoi of Australia for two years or more, he has not made a great deal of meney. He will earn more in four bouts over here than he was ahle to do during the four years he has been active in the ring. - According to re- port, Darvey has*been able to save but $35.006, although hé has defeated ev- ery who_ could be found to meet him. e 'y -has. drawn -many thousands of pounds by giving exhibitions for variovs Red Crpss and war relief so- cieties. At least twice every week he appeared at these affairs, and all told he has contributed the equivalent of a fortune to relief work. This is one of the main reasons why his loss has so grieved his countrymen. Australian boxers of little note, such as Charley Simpson, tho featherweight, who re- cently arrived here, had mno_difficulty in leaving the country, but Darcy was a geld mine for the promoters. According to George Chip, Darcy is a green country boy who biushes ev- ery time¢ a stranger speaks to him. He says the sharks who infest boxing circles in New York are sure to take him for an easy mu and will fight for possession, but thzt Darcy has a great deal of, common sense and is not likely to tiefup Jvith, the wrops Kind of person en he felects a manager.

The prevailing opinjen that if clubs desire to mest. expenses and realize a fair prefit on the momey invested, the salaries brought about through the Federal League war’ cut down considerably. ~ ° In regard to the. form. of contract with which was presented by the National Commission, the meeting approved it with the exception of the ten day release clause, the wording of which is to be revised by the Na- tion commission and passed upon at the next meeting. A readjustment of the gate receipts for the world’'s series was ddvocated and discussed. Some representatives were in favor of the players of all the first division clubs sharing -in -the re- ceipts, while President Tener ;sug- gested that all but the two tail-end clubs ,should have their players get part of the money. The question will be passed upon at a meeting at which both major leagues will be represent- ed by their president or committees. The league took no action regard- ing @ proposed change in the prices of the tickets for the world's series, leaving it to be decided by a joint committee from both leagues. The league voted in favor of re- stricting the number of 25 cent seats in several cities, principally St.. Louis and Philadelphia, but to what extent this réstriction would be enforced was not decided. « After recommending the holding of two extra meetings during the playing season, the delegates adjourned until the schedule meeting which will be held here in February must be PUTNAM SNOWED UNDER, KILLINGLY TOO FAST By Trimming Putnam Killingly Takes the Lead Basketball League.

Indeed November 24 will mark -the high point of next year's season. Har- vard and Yale will play in the Stadium while West Point and Annapolis will fight it out again on the Polo grounds.

Finally, Harvard is trying to | schedule the Virginia eleven for the week before the Yale game in order that she may use her substitutes and save the regular men f£r Yale. Yale, however, will play Princeton that week, as was the case this year. Brown also ~ will'be met the Saturday before Princeton. In order to insure a “more even development of the team” however, such hard opponents as - Le- high and Washington & Jefferson will in_all probability be dropped. Amherst is the most likely substitute. The re- port of a game with Pennsylvania is little more than a rumor. Pennsylvania will play Syracuse, one of this year's strongest teams, on the date that had been reserved for Yale, And once more the Cornell-Pennsylva. fia clash will be the Thanksgiving classic, as Brown and Colgate will not meet next year. In fact Colgate is facing extreme di ficulties in finding anyone to play. Brown and Yale are teams that will no doubt drop the Hamilton men from their schedules. Colgate is by mo means a large college and hence it is rather dangerous than advantag@ous for a large university to. meet its good football teams either early or late in the season. Another team that meets hardships in preparing a suitable schedule in the Army. At West Point players are used who have already been on important teams; an example of this is Oliphant, a Purdue star of several years stand- ing, who, a tower of strength on the Army this year, still have two more years to play there. Few teams want to play a rival which employs such an exceptional rule. This year the Army tried and failed to secure games with Yale, Harvard, Princeton, Pennsylva- nia, Brown, Colgate, Dartmouth and Syracuse. ‘As for the Western Conference, TIli- |4, nois, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Chica- go still arrange the schedules to suit themselves. The victories of Ohio Stafe and Northwestern universities have brought them none of the expected ad- vantages. Together with Indiana and Pucdue, they. will still be contented with what games they can get. - LIGHT ZIGHT FOR Fall Rowing Develops Good Stroke Oar ~—Will- Depend on Light Men.: “PThe fall rowing season at Vale has proved taat we have a good stroke oar and that we shail have to depend on a lighter crew than Yale has had in years,” said ch Mather Ab- . commenting on the fall rowing races proved, Ceach Abbott the Housatonic is one of the seretches in the country. 1 recitations conflicted with of the three university crew: *ghts, as they w led. the race was one of the closest ever hatbor, the crew stroked hing in the lead.

A point to be considered, however, is that you have nothing to lose by test, ias it is easy enough to go back to the boats together. This was a great detriment to their ;mprovement as crew. The same crew must row to- gether every day if the crew is to de- velop speed. In spite of ‘this handi- cap the trial crew race in the fall re- gatta was ore of the closest races ever held on the harbor. The crew stroked by. Hyatt won by a small margin. “Fhe class crews unfortunately dwindled down to two sophomore and one junior crew. The first sophomore as their lectures permitted their row- ing together each day, developed rap- and so distinguvished themselves in the class race at the regatta,/which they won easily, and they were select- ed by Mr. Nickalls as one of the crews to zo to the Fousatonic for the pogt- season rezatia. In the freshman department the. season was one of pronounced suc- ce: l?learly 150 turning out. At one time there were 13 crews on the water. These were reduced by ®@liminati 3 nine. The first two crews, consisting of S.t Paul's and Choate school oars, with a few additions frem southern rowing schools, got topether rapidly. and were soon having trial spins with the university eights. This crew was also selected to enter the postseason regatta. “An innovation this year was the post-season regatta on the Housatonlc. On Saturdsy, Nov. 11, two races were hell over the new two mile course. The university crew stroked by Cap- tain Meyer defeated the first sopho- more by a few feet and in the second race the university crew stroked by Hyatt defeated the freshmen by a length of open water. The freshmen were a length ahead of the university crew stroked by Allen. ° ‘These races proved to the satisfac- tion of the coaches that the Housa- tonlc is one of the best racing stretches in America. The fall rowing season has also proved that we have a good stroie oar and that we shall have to depend on a lighter crew than Yale has had in many years.” 4 Wood to Captain Yale Soccer Team. {ola system again, if necessary.
