SHERIFF INTERVIEWED

Tom ORourke's Tuxedo Athletic club
received a knockout blow in court at
Chester Pa. yesterday when Judge John
son. after a conference with the district
attorney, instructed Sheriff Mcclure TO
stop the proposed twenty-round boxing
contests at the clubs new arena at North
Essington, two miles from that city.
Arrangements had been made to open
the new club house with twenty and ten
round contests on "Wednesday night, but
the court has decided that what cannot
be done in Philadelphia and New York
cannot be permitted there.
The promoters are New York and Phila-
delphia men, who have invested many
thousands OF dollars in purchasing ground
and erecting one OF the finest boxing are
mas In the country.
The matter Is likely to be tested in the
courts, as the location and conveniences

THE WORLD OF SPORTS

From what was learned yesterday the
scope OF Columbias football schedule
next fall will be so limited that tho game
viii not take up much time for training.
and for this reason VIII be acceptable 10
the authorities at Columbia
II can be stated as fact that Columbia
is going 10 play the game again next
fall and that the all-consuming question
Is as TO what Is to be done in the line
OF removing obstacles in the way OF max
Ing game with acceptable conditions.
The plan most favored at this moment
is one that will call for a schedule OF
five or six games at outside, instead of
ten or eleven, as formerly. There Will
be one big game, or perhaps two at the
outside. and the other games Will be the
usual preliminary contests with minor coll
leges. In this plan. Columbia is once
more following in the footsteps OF Har-
ward, which is in the field with plan
for limited schedule.
From the general outlook, Columbia
will meet colleges like Seton Hail. Ford
ham. Williams. Wesleyan. possibly West
Point and a selection from one or two
other teams OF the smaller colleges that
Columbia has been playing, and Will wind
up the season by meeting Cornell.
With a shorter training season. less
severe schedule and only one big game
n year and WITH no training quarters TO
act as a bad influence, the game Will be
improved along the lines on which DR..
Butler has expressed himself desirous of
having 1t improved.
The necessity for smaller expenditure
just because of the conditions named
above. will also cut out another objec-
tionable feature OF football II the new
athletic field is not ready by the coming
fall IL still will be possible TO use South
field for practice, as was done in other
yNare
