Willard is regular champion—or he was when whipped Johnson. But where arc there any men like Fitzsimmons and Sharkey and that bunch? I haven't ween any for a many years, often wonder if I am prejudiced, but when I go to see a fight they don't look like the fighters we used to have. *T’'ve only seen one real champion in years,” Jeff went on, “I saw Benny Leonard when he was out here, and he knows as much as any champion.

A outdoor rifle e Here To-Day Foster Sanford has evolved for the speolal benefit of the Orange mon. Sanford, a wonderfully aggressive star when at Yale, has featured Rutgers’ offensive powers, The Jer- sey team hag developed a shock at- tack that bowled dver things this season with the single exception of the Western sailors; then it was the individual exploits of Paddy Driscoll, a phantom-like runner, that upset the Rutgers machine. Even in that game Sanford’s wrecking combina- tion rushed 170 yards in the first half for two touchdowns. Starting the second session Mr. Driscoll got busy with many long runs and Rut- gers was too busy watching him to get the old scoring machine cranked up in. Syracuse, with plenty of beef on the line and able supports in the rear, has featured its defense, Coach "Neill has adopted the old Princejon theory of letting the other fellow beat himself, This little plan worked to perfection except in the Michigan battle, Then the crack Westerners jolted the up-State team before it really became moulded to its present form. To give an idea of Syracuse's de- fensive strength only two opponents have crossed her goal line this year, Michigan once and Dart- mouth once on a! recovered fumble. On all occasions rival teams have made about the same progress buck- ing the Orange line as they would the Chinese Wall, As point ~etters Syracuse has three capable line crushers in Brwig, Barsha and Kernan. They have been doing nearly all the team's heavy work this year, Erwig is an old Fordham st Now he seems to be better than ever, Both sides, with all things consid- ered, appear evenly .matched, with Rutgers enjoying a slight advantage in physical condition, The game wil! start promptly at 2 and it will mark the end of the New York football season, though plans are being laid to brine some kind of a service game here next Saturdaw for the United War Fund.

The race will be run in five heats and & final at one mile each, one man dropping out in each heat and points to be scored to determine the winne Another big feature will be the ter mile motor-paced race between George Wiley, the American cham- pion; Clarence Carman, the runner- up; Wincingo Madona and Frank Corry, The riders will pick their pacemakers from @ hat just before the start so as to eliminate any pi erence, Tho track is the fastest over built and the old record is almost sure to be shattered, All the professionals ontered in tho six-day race, which starty at mid- night on Sunday, will start in the ten- mile open, the favorites being Kramer, McNamara, Grenda, Hill, Verri, Madden, Corry, Hanley, Magin, te Dupuy. | Bowling Alley By Chatter tack Connie Lewis, one of the best known sporting men of the East, who conducts bowling alleys at No. 166 Fairfield Ave- nue, Bridgeport, Conn., came to New York yesterday to secure a number of the Victory medals from ‘Treasurer Thum at the bowling headquarters, No. 1241 Broadway, for which the bowlers of Bridgeport are to bow! during the coming week. He was accompanied by ill Kerr, a Cornell man, who modestly told how Connie gave the free use of his bowling alleys to the soldiers and sailors, Connie saya that the bowlers that aro in the service earn little <nough, and that he can well afford to w them to use his alleys for a few urs each day.

By Alex. Sullivan. HO gays baseball won't come back? Already they are dis- cussing where they will go for their spring training. There was a jtime, not so long ago, when some folks declared that the big moguls of the diamond wouldn't dare to resume next season because of tho great number of slackers that were smoked out by the war. Now it is decided that they'll all be doing business at the old stand in 1919, At first, it was stated that if the big leagues did get going again spring training would be eliminated, but according to the plans being ar- ranged by the owners of the various clubs conditions in 1919 will be the same old conditions—and {t would not be surprising if all the slack«ir- Players, despite belief to the contrary, will be on the Job again regardless of public opinion that they should not *] be allowed to return to the pastime. The magnates have flown in the face of Public Opinion before, and they can be depended on to do so again, even to the extent of re-cn- gaging the very men who left them flat to camouflage in the shipyards and steel plants. Has Marlin been a jinx to the Giants? ‘They have been training there every eeason since 1908, but they are not going to return thcre | next season, Although the New York club has won many national league pennants since they started getting into condition at the Texan resort, still they have been hoodooed in the matter of world’s titles, That's one thing they have never been able to win, The New to go to Marlin, but just where they will do thelr preliminary work has not been definiiely determined, It 1s likely to de Hot Springs, Ark., where the Red Sox go. It is now planned to have the New York and Boston Clubs play a series of games on the way home, ‘The opening gun could be fired with a Sunday game at the Springs. President Frank J, Navin of the Detroit Club is making arrangements to take a squad of thirty men to the “The Tigers now in the army and navy will be in- cluded among those troops to bo d when the bell rings, even Ty Cobb, who {s at present in Burope as a member of the Chemical Welfare Unit.” Ban Johnson, American League President, who has not had anything to say since it was announced that efforts were being made to instal ¢ President Taft as single Baseball Commission head, has submitted to an interview at last. Here's what Ban says: “There are no two individuals in baseball who know less of the Na- tional Agreement and the rules gov- erning the commission than Harry N Hempstead of the Giants and H, H. Frazee of the Boston Red Sox. Mr. Taft on the question of whether he would consider ser’ member of the National Commivsion without authority, “From the sivtement made by Mr, ‘Taft at New Haven ho plainly indi- cated that they had given him no conception of the class of work he AL .

He would be a valuable adjunct to our national sport. But I feel constrained to say that when he understands thoroughly the duties he will not covet the as- signment.” Boxing in Philadelphia evidently ts in a flourishing condition again, for on Thanksgiving Day afternoon, the three boxing clubs there, Olympla A. A., National A. C, and Cambria A. A,, all held shows, packed their club- houses to capacity and made money, The Dempsey-Miske bout at the Olympla drew $10,840. The Dundee- | Phillips contest at the National had a gate of $5,200 and the Cambria re- ceipts figured up $1,200, Over 10,000 people attended the three shows and the combined amount taken in was $17,240. | ‘There is no truth tn the report that Bartley | Madden and Olay Turner have been suspended for six months by the New Jenmy Boxing Com- mission for their bout at the Broad Street Club of Newark on last Twesday night, Lester Bur- dick, secretary of the commision, announced this fact to-dny, declaiing that the commis |sion, at ite meeting next Wednesday in ‘Trentoa, N, J., would pass judament on the fighters, Dan Morgan, who has staged many boxing entertainments for the soldiom and sailors, bas booked another ono of these shows to take place at Camp on Tuesday night, Dan bas |booket the following boxers te appear im bouts: Clay Turner and Billy Barrett, Jack Britton and Willie Ryan, K, O, Fagen and Benny Velger, Joe Jeannette and Jim Monahan and Jim Cof. fey end Jack London, Frank Hagley, the well-known manager of ora! pusilista, i mo longer looking after the affairs of Battling Reddy, the local feather weight, Frank declanad today that be quit Reddy because the lator went up to Marisvilye, |n. 1, oo ‘Thankasiving Day ond eneged ia 6 \bout with Billie de Foe when 6e told Reddy not to do 6a as the club would nog give bim & guarantee of $300 for the bout, Jobn Reisler ‘# now a boxing gromoter, Ho has boon engaged by the rmidents of ‘Tulsa, Okls,, to put on boats there in the future, Tusisier bas just matched Battling Leviasky meot old Jim Wiynn, the veteran — beary- weight of Pusbi in « fittoen-round pout, to @ decision, at the Convention Hall in that city om the night of Der, 16, Fiyon bes knocked out two mea in contests ‘there and te very yomular with the fight fana, Matshmaer A ot Georm Engl of the Olympia of Philadelphia has mate s shift in hie ain for the Dantamweight show at hie - mobilized sight away,” declared Na-|cli> a Monday night, Instead of having Tack vin, “There 48 no reason to believe [Starkey moet Dick Loadman of Lockport, N. ¥., that any of them won't be on hand|be he ooked Artie Root of Cleveland to ba Loadman and Sharkey to £0 against Eddie Wimler {of Pittsburgh in the two main events of six round Six other good bantams will also battle, Fer otriking and knonking down Frankie Britt of New Bedford, Mam,, after the bei had rung in their bout at the Armory in Cleveland on Wednowday night.
