FIGHTERS AT ODDS
OVER $1,000 SIDE BET

SAN FRANCISCO, October 14.--If that
side bet of 5000 which both Jack John
son and Stanley Ketchell have posted
for their fight next Saturday afternoon
does not stick. Johnson intimates that
he will not fight. This is the perplex-
ing question that is troubling Promoter
Jim Coffroth now, and there Is liable to
be scandal before the men get into the
ring. 1t is known that Britt is doing
all in his power to get out Of this bet,
realizing that he made mistake in bet
ting it at even money when the odds
are now 10 to 4.
The bet is in violation Of the anti
gambling bill passed by the last 1egis-
lature. Yet the city officials have done
nothing toward intimidating the princi-
PALS. 1t is known that certain persons
have attempted to have the district at
torney's Office interfere, but thus far the
officials have kept their hands Off, though
many look for interference.
Both fighters have practically finished
their training. Each did a little light
work yesterday. and each will do his last
boxing for the moving pictures this after
noon. Johnson weighs 1913 pounds, while
Ketchell scaled just 176. He is much
larger than even his closest friends be-
lieved. He is a more formidable fighter
than ever.
|, One thing is certain, KetcheH has
worked harder than the black champion.
The latter spends too much of his time
tearing around in his racing automobile.
Instead of doing road work, he takes to
and as he has no manager to
hold him down, Johnson does about what
he pleases.

cunningham AGAIN
WINS FOR PRINCETON

PRINCETON, n. j., October 14.-For
the second time in less than week Gun
ningham. Princeton's left halfback, won
game for the Tigers when he sent the
ball whirling over the goal posts in the
last five minutes play in the game with
Virginia Polytechnic Institute on Prince
ton Field yesterday. At the time Cum
ningham's good right leg came to the
rescue Of the Orange and Black. the
southerners had the lead. with six points
to their credit against Princetons five.
Cunningham drop-kicked the goal from
the 21-yard line after the Tigers had
fought their way across the white-streak
ed gridiron to that point, with every inch
of the way stubbornly contested by the
Virginians. He had made several pre-
vious unsuccessful attempts during the
game to drop the pigskin over the bars.
But at the critical time he responded and
scored another victory for Princeton.
Princeton showed some Improvement
since Saturdays game with Fordham, but
at best the playing OF the Orange and
Black was ragged. Cunningham's kicking
and Sparks occasional plunges through
the Virginia line were brilliant features of
an otherwise tame game by the Tigers. In
the second half Princeton outplayed. the
visitors at intervals, but at critical mo-

PREPS PLAY HOLY NAME.
Postponed Contest Will Come OH
Tomorrow at Gergetwn.

After being postponed for over week,
the gridiron contest scheduled early in
the season between the Holy Name A: {.
and the Georgetown Props will be played
tomorrow afternoon on the Hilltop field.
Both elevens claim to have improved in
the time since the original date and the
present, and as each is anxious to trim
the other there is every reason to believe
that the battle will be warmly contested.
lnasmuch as many glaring defects
showed up on the West Enders in the tie
encounter against Western High School,
the lineup will proba bly, be somewhat
changed before tomorrow's game starts.
Unless forbidden by his physician, Capt.
kerwin of the embryos, who has been Ill
for some days, will be back in his old
position at full This will mean that Mil
Ter will be sent back to tackle. There is
also probability that Ed Dahill, last
seasons sub quarterback, will start the
game AT that position. The other posi-
tons will remain in the possession of the
lncumbents unless the coaches see other
chances to make an improvement.
The Holy Name aggregation will be
without the services of it's ex-captain,
Center Rush Ashton. who has been en-
gagged to coach ain athletic club eleven in
Massachusetts. 1t will be practically the
first appearance of the church lads since
the departure of their gritty lineman, and
hence their performance without him will
be closely watched by those who have
watched his work as a coach. Kicker. at
quarterback, will run the team, having
behind him three good men in the persons
OF kerrigan, Koontz and Palmer. Inc
line Will retain its old makeup.

to meet just such possibility, the

course, that Pittsburg does not win
today. Previous to tossing the coin
the commission deliberated at some
length regarding the advisability of
playing the deciding game on Fri
day or Saturday.
Barney Dreyfuss of Pittsburg sug-
gested that day should intervene.
on the grounds that it would take
some time to make and complete
the arrangements for the disburse-
ment of 2O.OU reserved seats. AS
there was no one connected with
the Detroit team in an official ca

acting for the American League
champions, declared that he did not
see the necessity for prolonging the
season, but it was finally agreed
that the matter should be deter
ined by the club winning the toss.
