Fencing Season Has
Started at Princeton

PRINCETON, N. j., Nov. 21.-The
fencing season has started at Princeton
with good prospects. Prof. Pappano, OF
Philadelphia, who has had charge Of
the fencing for seven years. is again the
coach. Seven members Of the 1911 fenc-
ingsquad are available for this seasons s
team, as follows: 1912. Dewitt, Field,
Gardner (captain); 1918. Davies, Jones,
Wensley; 1914. Potter. In addition to
these there are four entering men who
reported for the first practice, one Of
whom has had several years of actual
fencing. With the seven varsity men
four Of whom were in dual meets last
season-as a nucleus and the others who
will be ready for the team when the
season opens, the prospects are fairly
bright.
There will probably be four duel meets
on the schedule this year. The Army
has already requested meet and per-
haps meets with the Navy, Columbia,
and Pennsylvania will be arranged. The
team will be entered In the intereollegi-
ates next spring, the preliminaries for

not be held until after Christmas holi-
days. The management Is endeavoring
to hold some of these meets at Prince
ton, departing from the custom in past
years Of having all of them away from
home.

Fear Boxing May Be
Killed By New Mayor

PHILADELPHIA. Nov. 21.-Followers
Of boxing in this city are alarmed over
the possibility that Mayor-elect Rudolph
Blankenburg, when he takes office next
month. may stop public exhibitions.
This fear has arisen from the actions
OF the promoters in treating boxing
more as commercial proposition than
as a clean sport.
The fighters themselves are up in
arms, but dare not make an open con-
f1ict because of the fear of being black
listed altogether. Each manager of a
club Is said to have a stable of fight
ers VINO are the only ones apparently
able to appear In a local ring. As
cording to one of these fighters he
usually is supposed to get 20 per cen.
of so per cent of the house when he
appears IN a wind-up, but instead he
really gets only S per cent.

WASHINGTON MAN
MAY HEAD AMERICAN
ASSN. FTER 1917
John Heydler Is Probable
Next President of Big
League.
CHIVINGTON HAS
ONE MORE YEAR
National League Secretary Has
Long and Successful
Record.

John Heydler, of this city, may be Of
fered the presidency of the American
Association at the end of the coming
year, according to reports that have
reached here.
The fact that the past two seasons
have been most successful from a finan-
cial standpoint will probably result in
the retentioni of Thomas Chivington as
head for another term but 1t is known
that some of the magnates favor Heyd-
Ter because of his long and successful
career in the National League.
About the time Harry Pulliam died.
three years ago, 1t was being planned to
after Heydler the job in theWest, but
the National League was In such dire
need of q leader at that time that Heyd-
Ter was induced to remain In his office
as secretary, while he directs practically
all Of the business of the circuit.
Heydler Is one of the most experienced
officials In baseball today, Is universally
popular and would be great addition
to the American Association. 1t Is most
likely that the National League will
fight hard to retain the services of
Heydler, who makes his home In WASH
ington during the winter.
