WENTY-FIVE thousand people tried to get into the Armory at Jersey City Monday / night—« ‘building that has a capacity of something like 8,000, The reason for the great outpouring of fans was the expectation of secing some grew@® voxing. There was hardly anything on the bill, as Jt proved, that was worth going that distance for, of which was worth the mauling tha the fans had to endure in order @ get inside the club. . hight only a few hundred at © tended the Red Cros boxing show im the armory in 66th Street of this city, but they saw several bouts that were worth going miles to see. Im fact, every bout was a hummer from: start to finish. There were several, knockouts. The reason, undoubtedly, was because a decision was to be rendered in case a bout wefit the Umit. ‘The boxers ‘saw to it there was no‘danger of the referee making a mistake, for they fought hammer, and tongs for a decisive zesul ‘The military men who conducted the show for the Red Cross tried to secure an injunction, but it was de nied them. ‘This was to prevemt police interference, like took place last Friday night, when the ’ police refused to allow the bouts, altho a big crowd had gathered to see sport. ve Justice Delehanty declared yesterday: that as long as no money was cal- lected inside o= at the door tle bouts could be held for decigjons.

(Boecial to The Trening World.) PRINCETON, N. J.. Nov. 12.—Fol- lowing practice Coach Bill Roper ex: pressed himself as far from optimistic over the outlook for the Tiger's con- test with Yale in New Haven on Saturday. This is due primarily to the fact that games which Princeton a row, the Orange and BI rs are beginning to feel the pace While none of the Tigers who got into the game against t! here on Saturday received but the most minor injuries, rather listless actions of the Orahge and Black regulars in their first reai workout of the week have shown that they are beginning to feel the pace after facing or West Virginia and Harvard on three successive Saturda: So in oF that a worn out Prince- ton eleven might not start against the Blue on Saturday, Coach Roper of ing his charges fnages, as be had af ‘Arwt intended. mages, ‘he also had a good dea: to with the enforced to th re on! the defense, tackling and break- tng up forward passes, the two weak points in the Tigers” repertoire as brought out against the Crimson, taking up the major portion of the afternoon.

NEW HAVEN, Nov. 12.—Scrim- mage {s again on the card for Yale's Varsity eleven. With a record break- ing coaching staff on hand and all the players in condition the squad should show improvement during this week. Even Thorne Murphy, the last of the cripples, is slowly rounding into shape and his appearance on the field yesterday in uniform discounted the rumors to the effect that the star drop-kicker was out of football for | \” the rest of the season, Murphy still limps around and could not possibly be put in the game to run with the ball, but should Yale need three lone points to win it is more than prob- able that Mike Murphy's son will have @ chance to star for Yale, Yesterday's practice, the longest of the year, left all the men in good con- dition and a hard grind is in order for this afternoon. The exception- ally large coaching staff allows each member of the Varsity to receive in- dividual instruction, Each lineman has a coach continually priming him, while the back fleld men usually have Sharpe and Paul Veeder keying them up, This system went into effect last week and is thought to have been the cause of the great improvement shown by the team against Brown.

Over the Jong distance telephone from Chicago the American League President informed Mr, Herrmann .| that he had an injured foot and would have to wait a day or two. He will drrive here Friday of Saturday. In the mean time the National Commission Chairman proposes to "remain in New York until a meeting is brought abou. and these many troubles can be settled, Mr, Herrmann is trying earnestly, and with hope of success even, to es- taklish peace among the warring factions of the American League be- fore he retires from office, He received official notice yesterday of the action of the American League Board of Directors on the protest of Mr, Navin against paying the Yanks third money. After a conference with John Heydler to-day the two of them may decide to take action regardless of the dispute between Ban Johnson and the Board of Directors, It ls a question as to who is in au- therity, Jobnson orthe directors, and Mr, Herrman is studying the decision of Justice Wagner and also the Con- stitution of the American League for guidance, That is exacty what the directors want the commission to do. “I will remain here until some ac- tion is taken,”/said Mr, Herrmann, “and I think we may expect Mr, Johnson about Friday. 1 would also ‘ike to have this matter settled as to my successor as Chairman of the Na- tional Commission.” In making this last remark. Mr. Herrman made it clear for the first time exactly his position in the mat- ter of retirement from the job he has he}d for so many years, Some months ago,” says Mr. Herr- map, “a fow club owners jn the Na- tional League suggested to me that it would be a good idea to have at the head of the National Commission a man who had No financial interest in @ major league club, The logic of that struck me forcibly. It sounded mighty senstble, I thereupon told them that I would be glad to step down and out at any time they should decide upon ® successor. I have al- ways been interested in the Cincin- nati club and, naturally, under the new plan that would bar me. “Since that time I have waited pa- tiently for a successor to be named pe ook. pues like the matter to be settled. I hope that something will. be done about this before I leave New York.” On bebalf of Mr. Herrmann it should be said that nobody bas ever cast any refléction on his administra- ton of the office in the matter of dis- puted cases, It has been a matter of great pride to, him, and hy Spent as much time’ In ideriti# the in- dividuht complaitits and kridyatices of ballplayers as would a Supreme Court Justice: His written rulfngs are fa- mous for their clarity of style, Tt was believed “for @ long tite that some distinguished lawyer had written them, but that is not tra. "Mr. Herr- mann wrote, ‘all, these degiajons bim- self. Mr. Hermann hopes to be able to bring about some adjustment of the troubles between Ban Johnson and the triumvirate of clubs—New York; Chicago and Boston, In that, though, he hay a tough job. There dre just two ways that can be settfady One is for Ban Johnsop to resign and the other is for the Colonels, Frazee and Comiskey, to sell out. If Garry can find any other he is truly a wizard. Bu canaltsoe ldo de COLLEGE CROSS-COUNTRY RUN HAS RECORD, ENTRY. | A. record-breaking number of entries has been received for the renewal of the intercollegiate championship cross-cofn- try run, which will be held at Van Cort- landt Park Nov, 22, This was disclosed yesterday when the list of prospective starters was made public by L. C. Qwens| dr, of Columb University, secrecury of | the Intercollegiate Association of teur Athletics of Aemrica, Simultane- ously with the public announcement of the entries Mr. Owens mailed copies of the: complete entry list to the coaches of the different colleges which will be rep- resented, The names submitted total 217 indi- viduals from fifteen different colleges. ‘This more than doubles the previous record of entries for the title chase. It does not follow, however, that 217 runners will get away with the starting signal. Under the rules of the I. ©, A. A.
