PLANNING GREATEST
FIGHT EVER KNOWN
Arrangements Being Made for
Gans-Herman Encounter
at Ton0pah.
Casino Athletic Club Sets Aside
1000 Shares of Mining Stock
for Winner of the Contest.

TONOPAH, New. November 2I.-Tono-
pah is determined to have the Herman
Cans fight go down in pugiistic history as
the greatest battle ever known and to fur
Their it's plans has adopted a novel scheme.
Not content with the fact that the battle is
for the championship and that the S20.000
offered the fighters will stir them on TO bat
tie as they have never battled before. the
Casino Athletic Club of Tonopah has SET
aside 1000 shares of stock. which will be
awarded the victor. Tonopah stock Is in
creasng In value daily. and the winner OF
the battle on New Year day may find un-
told wealth hidden in the ground, which
will come into his possession through his
gallant fight. This news was received over
the wire today, and 1t speedily found its
way to the ears of Herman and Cans
1t has been the lifelong desire of Herman
to get a crack at the championship. His
chance has come. If the winner. Sla.0o0
awaits him: II the loser. $1,000. The losers
end is more than he has ever fought for.
The thought of the pile Of glistening gold
that will be his, the chance to be called tho
champion lightweight of the world and the
LOCO shares of stock have aroused his
fighting blood, and though he is doing but
light training now. he goes at his work
with the determination that spells success.
Herman is soon to become benedict and
his intended will be seated at the ringslde
to cheer him in his battle and IL ever In all
his fighting career voice called words OF
encouragement to him IL will be the voice
of the one whom he Is about to make hts
wife stirring him on to victory.
Arrangements for the erection of a train
ing camp are already under way. The Kid
likes outdoor work and long the
weather permits he will do his training UNI
der the blue skies. Little work will be re-
quired to reduce weight, for Herman is at
his best around 100 pounds. Cans will need
lots of hard training to get down to the
33-pound mark. At Cincinnati last week
he stepped the scales after his sparring
exhibition and the beam registered 14D
pounds. Although Joe Is not I'm actual
training now, his boxing on the stage keeps
him in good trim. Already the entire coun-
try is talking of the battle and Indications
are that fans from all parts of the globe
will attend the contest.

MANY SURPRISES
IN DISTRICT LEAGUE
Bowling Results Getting to Be
Almost as Uncertain as the
National Game.
Big Lead of the Saengers in
Standing and Team Average
AT Top of Individual list.

! After being cleaned up by the Bank
Clerks for three straight games. last years
champions of the District Bowling League.
the Fat Men took the rubber from the
leaders. The Eaengers in their previous
set had showed the Garrisons under for
| the full set by the seasons record-breaking
total Of 1858. Many surprises have been
sprung this season and ten pins is getting
to be almost as uncertain as the national
game.
In the past fortnight the Market House
has made the greatest gain in percentage
although it still holds fifth place. The
Bank Clerks great squirt has not only
pulled them UP one peg higher in standing,
but has jumped them in game average
,, from last place to fifth, while the Florists
have fallen from sixth rung into the cell
lar.
The Orientals. bowling the same men in
every game, have passed the Acmes and
the first four teams are now in the posi-
lions which they will probably hold
throughout the campaign on the naples.
However, the Orientals are pulling well
together, they have been consistent In
their SETS their lowest being 1924, and
some pick them to finish second. The Bank
Clerks are going vel. but with Barber out
OF form and only Walker and Barclay
over I75 they can hardly finish better than
fifth.
Four Saengers at the top of the individ-
ual list tells the story of their big lead In
standing and team average.
Allison, who had a lead OF four points
over his team-mate Krauss. butted into
seven splits in his last match and Krauss.
with the swell set of $50. now has an over
whe@ming lead of seven points. Eckstein
also passing Allison. who dropped back ten
points. The biggest surprise was Harlow.s
set of $50. DOC" seldom drops below 800
and this low set put him out of the ITO
class.
Several changes in position on the teams
have resulted from changes in form. Bur-
dine of the Saengers, who bowled one set
SIS, is a close second to Kra1ss.
On the Orientals Brown and Marshall
pass O'Donneli, and Baum of the Fats drops
from the lead to fourth place. Waters 60
from the trail to third, Harlow falling to
the rear.
Big Chief Warren's good work has pushed
him from third to first on the AGNES, and
Capt Cox has resigned the leadership TO
Joe Hardie, who is having mis- worst year
with the pins.
Bailey still leads the Market House, but
his lead over Miller has been cut down by
Charlie from five points to less than one.
and Bisho., and DeYo move ahead of keane.
Barclays Cos set sent him from fifth to sec
ond place on the Bank Clerks ladder
Ward leads the regulars on the Garrisons.
and McLennan still has big lead over his
fellow Florists.
Waters jump from III to 1871 has won
him last place in the first five medal men.

HARD AT WORK IN THE
GEORGETOWN GYM

With the gymnasium of Georgetown Uni
versity now in full swing, the students Of
that time-honored old place find them
selves admirably equipped in every way
athletically. For many years past the lack
of anything that looked like a gymnasium
at Georgetown has been the shame Of the
students and the wonder of the visitors.
The first question of a college man when
visiting another institution is usually,
Where is your gym?-and when at
Georgetown this Inquiry was made the
visitors were dumfounded to learn that the
local institution did not possess such an
annex.
This lack was all the more perplexing to
the visitors who remembered that from
Georgetown came such holders of the COW
eted worlds championships as Bernie
Wefers. Arthur Duffy, Billy Holland Char
lie Seitz and Joe Reilly, and the many relay
teams that administered defeats to such
teams as Yale. Princeton, Pennsylvania.

several games SO far between picked teams.
and. although the work breathes of new
ness, it is promising. Letters are pour
ing in every day TO the management asking
for games. and the most promising one is
from Virginia.
The real work in the gymnasium will be
when the squad Of runners. vaulters and
weight throwers begin after Christmas to
train for the annual indoor meet which
will come off some time during the latter
part of February. The wrestiers have
been given plenty of encouragement by In

undergraduates have taken to It,

The lght-harnesS contingent in Congress
will be reinforced soon Gen. Isaac X.
Sherwood of Toledo. Ohio. and Samuel Nc
MILAN of New York city take their seats.
Cen Sherwood is not only a breeder of
trotters and PAGERS, but as driver at
matinees has no superior in Ohio. except
it be Mr.. Deveraux of Cleveland. Gen.
Sherwood has owned many noted fast
horses, and says he owes his present re-
markable health. for a septua genaran, to
the fact that for the past forty years he
has sought the open air behind horses
that could go some. Mr.. Mcmillan was
breeder on large scale for many years in
the vicinity of Bealton. Va. He paid SO
600 for Governor Stanford. 2.2UA. and a
great many dollars for the beautifui stall
lion Belmont Prince, both of which he still
owns. Governor Stanford was bred at the
famous Palo Alto farm. California:
Representative Davis of West Virginia,
who retires at the end of the coming session
of Congress. 1t is reported. will breed Tbre
thoroughhreds and fewer trotters in the
future. Senator Scott from the same state.
has closed out all Of his breeding ventures.
Senator Bailey is playing a dual role In
breeding. he having recently purchased
some thoroughbred mares and a stallion.
Senator Proctor OF Vermont Is engaged
in breeding on a limited scale few Nor
gans, but of a larger type than those which
made Vermont famous all over the world.
He Is interested in the new breeding ven
ture established by the government at Bur-
lington, where nothing but horses of Nor
gan blood are bred. Senator Spooner OF
Wisconsin was, few years ago. greatly
interested in the American trotter. and his
stables always had a few of the best ex-
amples of the breed. OF late he has taken
to the automobile. AS a matter of fact,
even the auto Is a trifie slow for the SEN
atOr when he Is In a hurry. Representa-
tive Sibley expects to spend most of his
winters in Washington. after his retirement
from public life In March next and says
he hopes to be able to own a few trotters
that can go fast enough to warm their
blood.

WORLDS CHAMPIONSHIP.
By Hugh S. Fullerton.

There was lighter side to the series
| between the two Chicago clubs for the
championship of the world which the su-
perheated fans failed to see. Despite the
bitter rivalry between the two clubs. there
was little display of any personal feeling
between the men. and even in the white
heat of the final battles. when Comiskey's
| men were driving the harpoon deeper and
deeper into the heart of Murphy, the men
found occasions to jest and gibe at each
other in friendly style.
Probably one of the best features Of the
| series Is the fact that 1t bred friendship
| between the players themselves. and if
they ever meet again 1t will be as friendly
rivals instead of hostiles. Chances men,
of course. refuse to admit Comiskey's
team Is the better. although they concede
that they were beaten fairly and out
played. But while they think their team
best. their opinion Of the value of several
of the Sox has risen many degrees.
=:
Chance has the series sized up about
right He doesn't say "overcontidence"
but admits that his men were beaten
simply because they had loafed SO long
that when they were called upon to make
good they couldn't get up the necessary
speed.
DO you know the reason I led the Ma
tional League in base running?" asked
Chance. ut wasn't because I wanted to
be champion base runner. AS a matter
of fact 1 didn't know / was until after it
was all over. l was stealing bases merely
to make the men hustle during the last
month of the season.

the men playing fast base ball tore half
an acre of cuticle off myself setting them
an example and trying to make them hus-
tie but they had it so easy that they
slowed up. When they came to the post

speed"

Icy was in a trance for three innings
from the shock of it.
Half the critics have roasted Manager
Chance because he did not pitch Taylor
against the Sox, and nearly all the other
half have insinuated or said that Taylor
was afraid to face his old foes. The truth
is that there were not two worse disap-
pointed persons in Chicago than Taylor
and Chance when the brakeman did not
pitch. The reason Taylor did not work
during the series was that the thumb of
his pitching hand was knocked back over
his wrist in a game with Boston almost
month before the season closed and the
injured member refused to heal. Twice
