FOOTBALL SEASON
 OPENS TODAY
All the Star Teams Will Put
 New Rules to Full Test

New York. Sept. 28.-The first real test in the east of the new football rules will come today when a half dozen of the big teams will have their first games. Today's schedule includes Yale-Wesleyan, Harvard-Bates, Cor nell-HObart, Pennsylvania-Dicki Carlisle -Mu1enberg Amherst-Norwich ayette-Bloomsburg, and Lehigh- Western Maryland.
 Remembering the unexpected de- feat of Pennsylvania last Saturday by Ursinus, there was some appreh ension other of the little fellows spring sur prises- To guard against this Yale Harvard, Cornell and Pennsylvania all intend to play the strongest teams availa ble although many of those counted on as regulars were not in shape to line up today.
 New Haven, Sept 28.-wesleyan came here today more confident than ever before of scoring and possibly winning over Yale in the first football the Blue never experienced much dff- nculty in beating the boys from Mid dletown but with the new rules in force -Ono good judge was willing to say what is liable to happen today.
 Yesterday was the first chance that the New Baveners. had to look over Captain Daley and his men and the general opinion was that the Blue will be ''there'' in the championshin games.

Hal is too out-and-out a ball player to ferences with StaIlings may have been he wouldn't quit. Sta1lings let his temper get away with him when he accused Chase of not trying, and he knows it now.
 But there isn't any doubt that the two did not hitch. They never spoke to each other unless it was absolute ry necessary And when a word or two was enough.
 What stallings will do now no one knows. He is said to have received two or three offers of major league berths. So far as is known there are only two places open-one with the Philadelphia Nationals and the oth- CT with the St. Louis Americans. Pres ident Hedges, of the Browns, must get new leader for his team or he won't draw flies next year. He has always been a great adTnirer of Geo. Sta1lings. but has no more use for Ban Johnson than Stal1ings has. f= Whether he would dare to sign up Stallings in the face of the opposition Johnson is sure to set in motion is a question. There are many signs. however, pointing to one of the big gest rum puses baseball has known in many years. It wouldn't need much 10 start. SOn10lnlnS- JOnnSOn mas been carrying things with so high a hand the past couple of years that there are any number of people in baseball who would be tiekled to death to jam the harpoon into him.
 The Buffalo club of the Eastern league is dead anxious to have Stall ings manage it's team. Sta11ings. however, wants Q major league job. and has said he can have his pick of two or three for the asking. John son insists that he will keep him out of the big leagues
 Probably Byron B. would go easy if Sta1lings broke into the National league. Johnson's overbearing man ner at the last National league cleo ton was nat particularly relished and any interference on his part if Stall ings sought a managers job in the older organization would likely be re- sented and then some.
 But mighty tieklish situation would be created if Hedges offered the managership of the Browns to Stallings. And a number of folks, pretty we'll informed on baseball. have hunch that Hedges will make that offer.

BOXING

Boston, Mass. Sept. 2S.-Matty
 Baldwin, of this city, fought with one
 Jersey. in the main bout of twelve rounds at the Armory A. A. last night. Matty went into the contest with a bad left hand and then hurt it again in the second round so that it was useless all through the contest.
 New York, Sept. 28-Andy Parker, the New Haven lightweight, was no match for Johnny Waltz of New Jer- sey, in ten-round bout at Browns A. A. last night. Waltz, in the fifth round, sent in a left swing to the jaw which sent the New Haven man down to the mat for the count of nine and his seconds. threw up the sponge. Waltz was in the pink of condition and had Parker going from the sound of the bell in the first round. In the opening round Waltz rushed at his dazed Parker and he was quite weak at the end. In the other rounds Parker seemed to brace up a little until the middle of the fifth when Waltz rushed at him and sent in the fatal left which sent the New Haven man down and out.
 Philadelphia, Sept. 2s.-Boxing fans here expect a treat tonight when Hal Moore, the phenomenal IS year old fighter, hooks up with Owen six round go at the National A. c.

Octa 15, but the Chicago-St. Louis game for that day has been advanced President Murphy of the Cubs. There is likely to be a little scrap on as President Johnson of the American Lea que says that the series must not start Iaterthan Oct. 18th.
 It is now up to the National Com mission to sanction the series between the Giants and Yankees. Both the rival clubs are willing and ready, but cannot play without the National Com missions permission The games must not interfere in any way with the worlds series games to be played in Philadelphia. When the Athletics are playing at home. the two New York teams. because of their territor- ial nearness to the Quaker town, must lay off.
 Local fans are on the wait for the return of Manager McCann. A few days ago he left for the big city to look over a few games, and also took in few of the Eastern League games wanted to see some of the players in action to get a line on them, for the managers would be turning them lose at the beginning of next season.
 fStonewa1T' Jackson, the fleet left fielder of the Mechanics, is the bone of contention in a three cornered fight among the Philadelphia Nationals, the Shreveport Texas League club, and the Mechanics. Jackson was formerly the property of Shreveport, but was sus pended. He was then taken on by Philadelphia, who in turn chased him to McCann. The Shreveport club now has made demand for $500 the Quakers for the purchase of the play CT. The Quakers now have turned the case over to the National board for investigation. The latter has in formed Secretary ORourke of this league to dig out the facts from the local standpoint.
 Will Robert Lee Hedges, owner of the St. Louis Americans, offer the management of his team to George T. Sta1lings in spite of the opposition of Ban Johnson? Hedges is on the outs with Johnson, Corniskey and Company and isn't likely to take orders from them. The Browns have failed ut terly this year and Hedges has been trying to dig up a new manager to succeed Jack O'Connor. There'd be tempest in a teapot if a deal of this kind should suddenly be made. and stranger thangs have happened.
