CORfRoTH TAKES
. CHARGE OF BET
DISPUTE AS TO WHO SHOULD
HOLD STAKES.
Fans Were Scared up at Prospects
Of Championship Battle Being
Called OFF.
BETS 10 TO 4 on JOHNSON.

San Francisco, Oct. 16.-The ru-
NOR that today's championship
fight between Jack Johnson and
Stanley Ketchell might be called off
on account of a dispute over the
$1,000 side bet, agitated the pugilis-
tic world today, but the official an
nouncement of Promoter Coffroth
that he had taken possession of the
$4,000 staked by the two principals
allayed all fears.
II is believed the trouble was due
to the refusal of the appointed stake
holder to continue in that capacity
The refusal is said to have been
caused by the fear of legal complica-
ton, for under the new anti-betting
law 1t is a felony to act as stake
holder. Notwithstanding this Coff-
roth took the money and gave each
fighter a receipt for his share.
When the newspaper man who
was holding the stakes announced
his disinclination TO lay himself
liable to an infraetlon of the law,
a dispute arose between Britt repre-
senting Ketchell, and Johnson as to
whom the money should be trans
ferred. Johnson accused Ketchel of
attempting to evade the side bet. but
the matter ended by Coffroth taking
the money.
w Their conditions alone can pre-
vent the fight, for the sunshine
arena" has no cover. The prediction
is for clear weather.
The fight is scheduled for 20
rounds to begin at 3 p. m. Jack
Welch will referee. The betting con-
tlnues 10 TO 4 that Johnson will win,
and even money that he will knock
Ketchell out in less than 10 rounds.

Yale reversed matters in the preliminary race for the second eight, the Ellis winning from the Pennsylvania juniors by quarter of a length in SIS 2-5. Yale for the first time used an English shell and English oars.
 The race left no doubt about the su- periority of the Pennsylvania eight. Both Julian Curtiss, the chairman of Yales advisory rowing committee, and Coach John Kennedy declared em- phatically that the better crew had won. Captain Howe of Yale said his crew had rowed it's best and had been beaten fairly.
 Pennsylvania led after the first half mile and finished with strong squirt.

 Manager John J. McGraw of the New York Giants Is well satisfied with the work of his men. He admits that he will miss Donlin's batting. but figures that he can construct a capable out field.
 Catcher Paddy Livingstone insists that he will not play for Indianapolis at the salary offered. It is r1mored that Manager Chance of the Chicago Cubs may purchase Livingstone's re- lease and try him out with the worlds champions.
 Clark Griffith of Cincinnati says: -we are going to have a very good ball club. I feel that the players have the speed and the nerve. They will hit hard enough to make a good many runs. The pitchers are good. There Is only one point at which we are with out a man of experience and that is shortstop."
 over in St. Louis they are deiudinG themmselves into the belief that Man ager Bresnahan of the Cardinals soon will be hugging to his pad-protected bosom either Artie Holman, utility man. or Heinie Zimmerman. infielder. of the Chicago Cubs The miracle which is expected to accomplish this consists of either Catcher Ed Phelps or Bliss and a bundla of coin.
 President Charles Comiskey Is not eager to put his star catcher, Billy Sullivan. into the managerial berth. Not that he fears the veteran backstop will not be able to direct the team to ! his satisfaction. but because he does not want to spoil one of the best catch CTS in the country by burdening him with the care and trials attendant up- on the position of manager.

 Both teams had out a good follow ing of rooters, filling the galleries with the best crowd of the season, and plenty of enthusiasm prevailed. Close guarding by the Open House five broke up the passing game of the Tigers and they played much below their usual form when they found the Open House scoring almost at will. Frisbie of Open House found a way of slipping his man and getting open shots for the basket, registering ten in the game. GalH- van popped in eight, and the fast foot work and deadly shooting of the Open House five had the Tigers beaten to frazzle.
 For the first few minutes of play after the whistle blew, play was fast and furious, with neither team getting much chance at the basket although Frisbie missed a number of shots, which he redeemed later The first score of the game came on a goal from
 
 House. Drake then registered the first field goal from right under the bas- ket and a series of shots by Gallivan and Frisbie in quick succession ran the Open House score up to IS, before the Tigers counted one point on a goal from the foul line by Reed. The half ended with the score standing Open House 21, Tigers l.
 In the second half Open House kept on piling up the points, Frisbie shoot ing six baskets, Gallivan three and Christman looped one in from the side that showed he had the old eye with him. Caron got the only field goal for the Tigers on a quick pass from out side. The lineups:

 The preliminary game for the eve ming was between the Jolly Five of the local association and the Willi- mantle Tigers. This was hotly fought throughout, the visitors leading in the first half, to '.
 The Jolly Five braced up in the next half and showed up a pretty passing game, with some nice shooting by Swan and N. Clish, which pulled the Norwich team out the winners. 19 to r. The lineups:

FOOTBALL MEETING.
New Eligibility Rule. for School League-Acaden1y Will Get Pennant.

| A new constitution was adopted and
 schedule for next season also at a
 meeting Saturday morning of the | Eastern Connecticut football associa- | tion, held at the Y. M. c A. building. | President Joseph c. Worth, Jr., of this
 city presided. and represented the
 Academy. John Hogg of Westerly, sec ! retary and treasurer, represented the 1 Westerly high school, John Manley, l Windham high school Of Willimantic
 and Manual Training school of New
 London was represented by one of the
 teachers. Bulkeley school of New Len- | don had been expected tO come into
 the league this year, but they have
 now decided not to do so. The new constitution adopted was one prepared at a principals meeting
 short time ago. The principal change it makes is the eligibility rule, by which no post graduates will in fu- | ture be permitted to play on a school | team and no player over 21 years of age.
 The articles covering eligibility now read as follows:
 Section 1. Any bona fde student,
 matriculated for the then current school year. in any school in the asso- citation, is eligible to membership for five years from the date of his first
 entrance into such school. subject to
 the following restrictions:
 No graduate of any high school
 or academy of standard grade shall play in any association game. 2-No student whose course of study consists of less than 15 prepared reel tations a week shall play in any as sociation game; two unprepared reci- tations being counted as one prepared
 recitation.
 S-No student shall play in asso- citation games in more than four sea- sons.
 4-No man over 21 years shall play
 in any association game. 5-A student who transfers from
 one school to another shall be eligible to membership as though he had con- tinued in one school, but his playing time shall not exceed five years from the date of his first matriculation in any high school or academy
 Sec. 2-The penalty for violation of any section of Artile TX. shall be the loss of the game by the offending team and may be imposed at any time prior to the awarding of the championship.
 Sec. 3-The manager of each team shall present the manager of the op- posing team, one week before each game. list of all eligible candidates for his team, signed by the principal of the school.
 Another point covered was regard ing individual pennants. This has
 been done away with and only one pennant will be awarded, that to the victorious team
 President Worth brought up the
 matter about returning the pennant
 money to the> teams in the league. As l the previous treasurer under a mis- apprehension had done this there was no money to purchase a pennant for the winning team. The meeting strengthened this difficulty out, the money will be returned and the pen nant bought for the Academy eleven, winners last season.
 The following schedule was drawn up and adopted:
