DeIehanty and Platt Are Even Winners

This has been the banner year in in terest and development in tennis with the Young Mems Christian Association. Their tennis club has been the largest and their grounds and equipment the best they have ever had. Two tour naments were conducted during this season, the first being won by Harold Platt, the last one just being closed with a pretty fight between Platt and Delehanthy, the latter winning. Most of the sets went to deuce and 1t took five sets to determine the match. A friend of the association offered a very pretty sterling silver cup to be engraved with the name of the win ner of each tournament but the cup to be kept among the trophies at the association until one of the players has succeeded in winning it three times. The season ends with the names of Platt and Delehanty inscribed on the trophy.

Good things on today's schedule are numerous and include the Harvard West Point, Princeton-Navy, Pennsyl- vania- Carlisle, Syracuse Michigan and Cornell Willlarns games. Also will be played one of the most important games in the West, Chicago vs. Min nesota, which for really big game comes inapprpriately early in the sea son. The Harvard-Arny contest will furnish the first of the common oppo- nents for Harvard and Yale, Yale hav- ing defeated the Army IT to 0 two weeks ago. As bearing on the com parative strength of Harvard and Yale the size of the score made by Harvard today won't count so much as the way Harvard does it.. Another factor to be considered will be the general con- di.ion of the West Point material to- day as compared to that for the Yale game There are more influences than one to be reckoned in, these affairs.
 Pennsylvania's trip to the country indicates that; the Quakers regard this as their most severe game to date. The fact that thes~Indians nearly always are better against them than anybody else makes them anxious The game burg a week ago does not presage dan ger for the gQuakers today, but as it was played in mud and rain ,condi- tions which never suit the Indians, F6nnSylVan1a dOeS not Lnlnk IT the best the red men can do. Then again the Indians are expected to cut loose with all they have this afternoon.
 The schedule follows:
 Harvard Vs. Army at West Point.

 W. E. BURNHAM

The Neversweat club held one of it's early winter sessions last evening at Lehman's shore house and the occa- sion was made memorable by the un- expected presentation to William E.

To Frank Gris- wold of Trumbull was given a mag nifcent cellarette in appreciation of the good times the clubs has had at his country home. Nelson W. Fres- hour the efficient chef of the club was master of ceremonies and he did his work most ably. It was a happy bunch that gathered around the fes- tive board. There was song and speech and good cheer a plenty. MT. Burn ham was deeply moved by the unex- pected manifestation of the estimation in which ne is held by the club. Sher- if Hawley, Ex-Mayor F. E.

Pop Rising Now a Cop

Pop Rising, the Springfield baseball player, is, now a fu1-f1edged cop as he has made. two arrests. He secured two prisoners at once, so he is credited at the police headquarters in Springfield with a two-base hit. On the police roster, Pop is enrolled as Perc.val Sumner Rising, but he is still called Pop. He is special officer at the Gilmore Theatre and it was on Thurs day evening that he won his spurs. Some one in the gallery threw cigar cite butt away and Morris Akterski and Arthur Richards engaged in a hot fight to see who should have the butt. The battle was waging fercely until Pop broke it up and lugged the com batants off to headquarters. Both bpys were charged with breach of the peace, Pop had been on the job two days and the double arrest gives him an avera ges of .500. It is said that the old player likes his new employment and he will show what he can do if some umpire of the Connecticut Lea que tries to start something in the gall lery of the Gilmore Theatre.

JlEFRIES MATCHED
 TO FIGHT NEGRO
World s Heavyweight Cham pionship Bout. to Be Held
 On or Before July 5,191O
Contest to Be Not Less Than 45 Rounds, Winner to Take 75 Per Cent. of Purse and Loser to Get 25 Per Cent.

James J. Jeffries and Jack Johnson yesterday entered into "gentlemen's'' agreement to fight forty-five rounds or moro on or before July 5, 1910 for the heavyweight championship of the world Probably never before in the history of pugilism has an important battle been arranged with less trouble. Both men displayed a willingness and eagerness to arrange the necessary de- tails without any unpleasantness, and as result there was not the slightest hitch in the ormalities. sf 70 ss
 The principal features oe the agree nlent can for a fight of forty-five rounds or more for the best purse off, fered by a responsible club. The con- test must take place before July 5, 1910. Straight Marquis of Queensberry rules, with five-ounce gloves to govern the contest. A side bet of $5 900 aside and a forfeit of an equal amount to be deposited with Robert Murphy, the stakeholder, and the purse to be di- vfded 75 per cent. to the winner and 25 per cent. to the loser. The referee will be named at the time of accepting the bid. All bids must be received by Robert Murphy by Dec. 1 next. when the bids will be opened
 The threatened trouble over the di- vision of the purse did not materialize Jeffries was willing to agree to permit the winner to take all. This did not meet with the approval of Johnson's manager. who declared for a losers end. with the result that the division of 75 and 25 was finally agreed to.

NO MISTAKE ABOUT
 THE CITY'S POSITION

(F'rom the Post of Dec. 4, 190S.)
 The response of the business men .of Bridgeport to Mayor Lees re- quest for vigorous support at the hearing before the Railroad Com missioners vest erday on the car barn9exits was in every way satis- factory. Citizens. of, prominence were on hand to convey to the Commissioners their views on the situation and the congestion which they believe will follow if the spur tracks for the entrance are allowed, either at Congress street or Fair field avenue, for it appeared at the hearing that the Street Car Com pany, after announcing that it had given; up the Fairfield avenue idea, had taken it up again before the commissioners.
 There was no note of dissent among the City's representatives, either official or private. The opin- ion was absolutely unanimous that the proposed, plans of the Company were seriously against the City's interests and entirely for the con venience of the Company. It was this feature that Mayor Lee noted and called to the attention of the Commissioners. In all their argu-- ments the representatives of the Company showed no consideration except for the convenience of their
 
 employer. H., So far as the City was concerned, it might be just so much dirt which had to be removed in order to make way for the advancing en- gineers.
 This, we believe, is a grievously ! mistaken attitude from the com pany's own standpoint-from the standpoint of dividends, if we come down to the cold logic of dollars and cents which the railroad of ficials ought rightly to consider in the interest of the stockholders. Here is reasonable opportunity to fairly meet the City and try to make the. situation as satisfactory as possible.
 The speakers for the Company said that plans for the barns would improve the street car service and benefit the public. There is no doubt about that, but the Company will also profit. It was held. too.

Captain Ted Coy of Yale announced yesterday afternoon after practice that Ed. Savage will. be used in today,s game against Amherst as first substi- tute back Both Philbin and paly are out, of the game with injuries causing the changes to be made in the back sie1d. To be used in the back field, without even a weeks practice at that position is considered remark able aRd all the more creditable to the work of Savage, who has surprised the coaches with his style of play. It now looks as if Ed, would be used in the big games with Princeton and Harvard, an honor for which all Yale athletes are striving. He will theraby win a 'sY' making one of the very few men who have accomplished this honor in one years work on the Var sity.
