_—— Calling Pastime These Days. Comte: We: Ried veclg “Wares 3 “called off” than fought th days. Calling off fights tho Gre sufficiently in popular favor to de- mand the big end of a purse. Jack Dillon was to have fought Al McCoy a week or so ago. That fight called off” by McCoy, who pre- Sented a doctor's certificate to prove that he wasn't quite fit to walk Into the Dijon wallop. Dillon came on to box McCoy, ar- riving a few hours before the appoint~ ed evening. When he found that McCoy had looped the loop he was @isgusted. As he put it himself, in that candid Indianapolis manner of his, he was “dead sore on the whole works.” Dillon was told that he could take McCoy on later, but that the Broadway 8. C, would put him on Tuesday night—last night—with the second opponent of the three he had fisned for, the club selecting Bob Noha. Dillon had agreed to meet Mc- Coy and “two others"—and he was quite ind! nt as to the identity of the other pair. But Jack went back to Indianapolis and “opened a hostelry,” according to the explanation of John Parnassus Dunn, After opening hig hostelry three or four days ago, with appro- riate celebration of the occasion, Dil- ion didn't feel like coming back to New York to fight Moha. So the bout was called off. More tough luck for, Moha. Or perhaps it wasn’t. LSO, that Welsh-Rundes fight Is “off,” but through no fault of either boxer. The new pro- moters at the Garden were unable to get a license, because they didn’t have @ genuine year's leas And how could they have a genuine year's lease, just signed, when the Garden is plastered with advertise- ments that it will be sold at auction fn the month of December? It's a self-evident proposition that the own- ers wouldn't try to saddle a lease of that Kind, involving little money and a tie-up of the Garden for a year, ‘upon the prospective new owners.

By Clinton Black, Yale Football Captain. HAVEN, Nov. 29.—Tad has everything to make him fa wonderful coach, He has a per- sonality which cannot be beaten, and the more one comes in contact with him the more one grows closer to him, To me, the one great re- gret of losing the Brow. game was the fact that It was the only game that Tad has lost in four years and I know how he felt, I believe that Tad Jones knows more (votball than any other coach fn the country, and one great ad- vantage is that he is always ready to I . The great part of the season's success, in my mind, goes to Tad Jones. Yale ts in his mind first and foremost, and he made the men under him realize this, and It went a long way. the field to-morrow for Brown than any opponent thei in exceedingly well-coached hard team has tackled this season.
