GRIFFIN EASY FOR
CARDIFF SLUGGER

BOSTON, December 9.-Jim Driscoll OF
Cardiff Wales. featherweight champion OF
England knocked out Charley Griffin of
Australia in the eleventh round of their
bout at the Armory here last night.
Not since the days Of Young Critic has
so clever a workman been seen in the ring
in this country as Driscoll proved himself
to be last evening. Against any one else
in his class Griffin undoubtedly wou' d
have made very good showing, but he
was made to look like a novice by DriScoll.
The Welshman is remarkable all
round performer, fighting equally we'll at
long range short range. keeping his
wits about him. and all the time working
de 'iberately and effectively. He concluded
early tonight that he would have to take
his time with Griffin. and he did so. The
bout was limited to twelve rounds, and he
was apparently satisfied that he could fin
ish his man well inside the limit.
Early in the bout he landed a stiff lab
flush on Griffins nose, and then for a
while the Australian kept his face and
lefts to the body. Driscoll made him drop
his guard. so that in the fifth round he
was staggered by a right to the jaw, and
only the bell saved him.
After this Griffin was entirely on the de-
fensive. and in the ninth he was in a bad
way, but was again saved by the bell
Early in the eleventh round Driscoll
landed a hard left to the jaw and fol-
lowed it up with right which he intended
for the s'eep producer. and although 1t
missed the spot it sent Griffin staggering
up against the ropes.
Right here was where DriscoII proved

SIX HORSES HEADS
APART AT OAKLAND

OAKLAND, December 9.-There was
some excitement at Emeryville yesterday
when the fourth race went to Ruby Gran
da with six horses finishing only heads
and noses apart. Ruby Granda was the
favorite, but Gilbert had to ride the filly
out to beat Bon Homme and Mailman.
It was the most thrilling finish seen at
Emeryvtlle this season. Gilbert put up a
splendid ride in the stretch. and. in fact.
all through the race he observed the finest
generalship.

afternoon for the purpose of drawing up
a schedule and making a few rules gov
erntng the games which will soon &c
played between Eastern, Western. Tech
meal. Business and Friends Select schools.
In all probability the league will be
named the Scholastic Athletic Association
League and the games will be pulled
on Wednesdays and Fridays. Each
team will be granted the use of the Y. NJ.
c. A. gymnasium certain day in each
week for practice and some interesting
and evenly matched games are predicted.
The athletic followers at Western High
are very jubilant over the selection Of
Robson to lead the foot ball team for
the season of 1909. He Is a capable and
hard-working player, and, judging from
his performances In the past high school
series. his snappy and aggressive play
ing will be- an excellent example to the
men he will have in charge next year.
Mallon, who. along with Capt. Mclean
Of the Western High School basket ball
quint, gave such clever exhibition
against Friends Select last week. gives
promise of developing into one Of the
best goal throwers In the scholastic
league. In this game. he made an almost
impossible shot from the center of the
floor. which was easily the feature Of
the game.
Coach Foley. who now has the Central
High track team in hand, expects to
assign some indoor track work to the
School after the Christmas holidays. This
is done mainly to develop speed, which
was SO plainly lacking in the base ball
series of last season. Capt. Thomas,
who will lead the Centralites on the dia-
mond next spring, has had his men do
Ing track work under Mr.. Foley's direc-
ton for the past month, and expects to
have the candidates in excellent condition
early next base ball season.
The election of Dutch Gregory as
basket ball captain at Business High
School was wise selection. and posi-
ton he has we'll earned by his earnest
work in all the athletics at the Rhode
Island avenue school This is his first
selection as a leader, but in spite of
this fact he has always worked hard for
the men over him. and deserves the sup
port of the school in this branch of ath-
letics during the coming season.
A movement is on foot by several Of the
scholastic basket ball promoters to per-
suade the Princeton alumni to donate a
basket ball trophy to the champion team
in the series of basket ball games. which
will be pulled off in the near future. AS
there is considerable influence back of
this movement, It is more than likely the
boys will have something to play for be-
sides the honor when they meet at the
Y. NJ. G. A. gymnasium.
Rathbone. who made such creditable
foot ball captain, has been elected cap
tain of the track team. and together with
Coach Boernstein hopes to turn out team
on the cinder path which will win a
name in this branch Of athletics for Bust
ness High Immediately following the
Christmas holidays hard training will be
INDUCED in, SO the boys can prepare
themselves and get in excellent trim for
the coming indoor meets. So far. Stentz
is the only man who has been training
faithfully, and it is on him the Stenog-
raphers expect to build up fast bunch
of dash men.

BAN AND
COMISKEY FRIENDS

NEW YORK. December 9.-There is no
longer any friction between Ban Johnson.
president of the American League. and
Charles Comiskey, owner of the Chicago
White Sox. This fact was demonstrated
at little dinner at the Hotel Wolcott
which johnson gave Monday night to
Comiskey and other American League
men. In the course of general CONVEX
sation the supposed strained relations
between Johnson and Comiskey of a
year ago came up for discussion. 1t was
shown that the trouble II there ever was
any. was wholly due to tale bearers and
that as a matter of fact when questioned
closely by mutual friends neither john
son nor Comiskey appeared to have
grievance Of serious nature. john
son and Comiskey have been friends
for many years. They began fight for
base bali supremacy in the old Western
League, which was finally expanded into
the present successful American League.
When the matter came up for discussion
Monday night. therefore, 1t was not at all
surprising that both men should indulge
In compliments. Comiskey. who has been
a big factor in every base ball war on rec
ord. finally convinced the assembled COM
pany that Johnson and he were still Old
pals by remarking:
II have never voted against any propo-
l.
much confidence in him that would be
willing to turn over my ball club and the
1900. have made with it in Chicago
to him to do with 1t as he might see fit.
There have never been any serious differ
ences between us, and whatever squabbles
we may have had were purely of per-
sonal nature. But we have always been
in perfect harmony in base ball matters"
Comiskey has worked his way up from
the playing ranks to the position of one OF
the most influential magnates in the
game. He has succeeded because he was
not afraid to take chance. He was re-
ceiving big salary as manager Of Won
der Ahe's st. Louis Browns when he
jumped to the Chicago Brotherhood club.
That was the first base ball war in which
Comskey took part. and when the Broth
erhood exploded the 'Old Roman never
lost the idea that another major league
in opposition to the National could live.
1t was combination of Comiskey's nerve
and Johnson's skilled diplomacy which
launched the American League. and to
their combined efforts the success Of this
new organization is chiefly due.
