u LILY LEARY and Kid Wilson
have been rematched. The men
will meet at the Long Acre Club
Thursday night, November II. Each
mar posted 5000 to stand as a forfeit
in case he failed to make AS pounds
ringside. The boxers will meet on a
win~ner-take-all basis. Anyone with
half an y can see, therefore. thai
they mean business. Bob Murphy, rep
resenting Leary. who was also present
and had something to say for himself,
and Percy Woodruff, who manages Kid
Wilson. transacted the business in the
STAR office, where all the money in
volved was posted.
Michael Newman, of the Long Acre
Club, will referee the bout, and a COM
nlittee composed of the sporting editor
of the EVENING STAR. the sportins
editor of the Evening News and Gus
Troxler. of this city, was agreed upon
10 give the decision on the bout by a
majority vote.
It didn't take long to transact the
business of making the match, for both
sides were willing.
Billy Leary issued a challenge to
Wilson the other day in this column.
There had been so much ak back and
forth over q proposed second match
between the pair that at times it
seemed impossible that another bout
would he arranged. Leary was anxious
to square" the knockout Wilson
handed him in their other fight. Wood
ruff wanted a side bet, but when he
read Leary's latest challenge he called
UP Billy and accepted the challenge at
once, waving the side-bet proposition
and everything, simply, as he said, 'to
show Leary that his man could beat
him again"
To all those who said that Woodruff
was afraid to let his mar meet Learv
again 1t must be said that Percy
showed himself to be a good sport
during yesterdays transactions, agree
ing to everything, even to letting the
WORD Of the writer decide which mar
had won the fight. The latter sug-
gested the committee of three, and
that was accepted finally by the fight
srs.
This fight should pack The Long Acre
Club ana one Of the best goes in the
history of the club should result.
The SOU will be for the welter-
weight championship of New Jersey,
which Wilson holds by virtue of his
victory over Leary.
While the injuries may not prove
fatal, it is more than probable that
Kilpatrick, the Yale end, will play no
more football during his present stay
in the land of the living. He was go
badly injured in practise yesterday that
he had to be carried off the field. 1t
was expected that an X-ray %exarnina-
ton today would reveal a pair of
broken ribs. OF course it was an AC-
CTDENT.
The deer season opened Yesterday in
South Jersey, with one accident that
will probably prove fatal. More than
300 huntsmen secured the woods. out
there was an unusual scarcity CT re-
turns. About five kills were reported.
As dogs are not allowed. many wound
ed and MANNED deer escaped their enc
mics.
Ban Johnson was wise, and entirely
foreign to his usual practise, in refus-
sng to commit himself on the Hermann
Fogel %squabble. Johnson said he was
lot interested, but it's a safe bet that
e has been watching the controversy
4cipser than a cat watching a mouse

An athletic reunion between Prince
ton and Cornell seems pretty good,
since steps were taken by the athletic
committee of these two colleges to COM
pete in a dual swimming meet this
winter.
It's none Of our business, but we
think the turner's have selected a bad
night for their Observation-Disclosures. All
she Young men with the price for such
affairs have other things to attend to
those nights.
What his man, Third League
Fletcher. will get for his efforts-and
thew are many-if all this new league
talk is a bluff, is hard to see. The fact
that Americans do very little for moth
ing leads to the belief hat there is
something more behind the scheme
than organized ball magnates would
lead one to believe.
Soccer is taking such a hold on col
leges. apparently that ever now Har-
yard boasts of q second team.
