TERNATIONAL STANDARD
 OF BOXING WEIGHTS.
Schedule Includes Class for Light
 Heavyweights. 158 to 175 Pounds.

New York Oct. 24.-For the first time in the history of boxing in the United States, an official attempt will be made by the New York athletic commission
 to fix an international standard of
 weights to govern championship bouts
 in the various classes. The commits sion hopes to get its schedule recog-
 nized by the authorities governing the sport in Egnland, France and Austra-
 liz. The following weight scale, drawn up by the New York commission, is
 now on it's way to the governing bod ies in the three countries named, and it is expected to receive their approval: Paperweights 10S pounds; bantam
 weight, 115 pounds; featherweight, 125 pounds; lightweight, 135 pounds; well
 terweight, 145 pounds; middleweight. 15S pounds; light heavyweight or commission weight" 175 pounds; heavyweight, IFS pounds and over. The commission, in fixing the scale, also stipulated that the various weight
 limits should be made at the ringside. Ringside weighing has many opponents in this country, and 1t Is believed that a modification of this rule will be agreed upon later by the international bodies concerned.
 The commissions schedule calls for new class to include boxers too heavy to make 15S pounds ringside, yet too light to compete as full f1edged heavy
 weights. The idea is to do away with contests in which man weighing 165 pounds meets an opponent carrying 200
 pounds or more. In addition to the
 weights programme, the commission has entered into an agreement with English, French and Australian pro- moters by which uniform rules and penalties will be mutually recognized.

HARVARD ELEVEN STRONGEST
Cr;m.on Team Showing Slashing Form-Yale, Dartmouth and Princeton Also Displaying Strength-Georgetown Not Yet Scored On.

to it's followers. Yale showed great potential strength and gave every in- dication that 1t will meet its big rivals as a first class eleven. Flynns slash ing work has caused Princeton and Harvard sharpS to do some tall guess ing, for this fellow is a sure ground gainer and hard man to prevent making headway. His fumbling show ed his greenness or nervousness, but that will never do. He must tighten his grip on the ball, and this the eX- perts think he will surely do. Flynn is the shining light of the Eli back field, though there are some other crashing backs. The quarterback po- sition is still engaging attention, but the outlook is more hopeful.
 Princeton Travelling at Fast Clip.
 Princeton has been going along at fast clip, bowling over its lighter rivals with ease, yet they have it that the Tigers have one lamentable weak ness and that in the line. The for wards, with the exception of Bluethen- thai at center and Phillips at tackle are not filling the bill, and even against soft teams they have not shown the proper snap spirit and the power on the defensive.
 Browns big victory over Pennsyl- vania has boomed it's stock greatly for few there were who expected to see Brown win. This week the Rhode Islanders will journey to Cambridge, ! and in view of what happened at Prov 1 idence the coming contest will be watched closely. There is plenty of
 weight in the Brown team, and the l Crimson is sure to get it's first real scrap of the season.
 Georgetown Not Scored On. Statistics show that almost every 1 team has been scored on, one notable l exception being Georgetown in the south. Vanderbilt looms up large in the scoring line with 305 points for 1 four games, but even such a high fig
 ured team has it's slate spoiled, one
 team getting a field goal. The In ! dians, as usual, are rolling up the
 scores and soon will be above the 300
 mark. Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Dart mouth, Swarthmore, Pennsylvania l State, Georgetown and Carlisle have the unbeaten teams. but there is a tie against Carlisle's record and to the credit of Washington and Jefferson This Swarthmore team is cutting quite | figure on the football map, and il has every reason to feel proud of it, victories over Annapolis and Pennsyl-
 vania. Trinity's crack team fell by the wayside Saturday, and this surely 1 was shock to the Hartford colleg-
 ians. Wesleyan is showing plenty ol power, and is performing like a top. notcher in it's class.
 Records of the elevens to date are a.

BRETON oUTPoINTs DUFFY.
Savage Heating and Hudson M ecrack.
 on Bouts Stopped by Referee,

New York, Oct. A.--Jack Britton of Chicago outpointed Freddie Duffy of Boston in a ten round bout here to- night. While Duffy had the reach on Brttton and is rangy fighter, hard to get at, Britton had the better of him in every round but the fifth. In this round Duffy swung both hands to Brit tons head and had Britton covering ur.
 Jim Savage. the Orange, N. j.. heavyweight, and Bill Keating of North Dakota was scheduled to 20 six rounds, but Referee Young Corbett Stopped the bout at the end of the first round, after Savage had koncked Keat- ing to the floor. When the latter arose he staggered about the ring until the bell, when the referee declared the bont ended.
 The referee also stopped the sched- ued ten round exhibition between Tommy Hudson of Windsor, Ont. and Johnny McCracken of Toronto, both bantams. Hudson punished McCrack- en severely. and at the end of the fifth round the Toronto boy was in such bad shape that the bout was stopped.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
STUBBORN RESISTANCE. Bear Attack Meets Moderate Support With General Recoveries.

New York Oct. 24.-Almost the only noteworthy features of today's stock market was it's stubborn resistance to a series of bear attacks. From the very outset the short interest adopted an aggressive attitude, finding slight encouragement in the state of the for eign accidents, but moderate support invariably in general recoveries.
 The selling movement concentrated against United States Steel, the Hill issues, Union Pacific, Canadian Pa ciAc, and Lehigh Valley, later em- bracing some of the minor specialties and American Can. Reading was cas- ily the strongest of the railway group, with some demand for New York Gen. tral
 Prices wavered uncertainty in the late session, but mild furry in call loans, which rose to six per cent, caused another setback and an abrupt halt to the activity then in progress, but support was again effective in re- storing the general level to fraction over the preceding days close.
 The sudden rise in money occa stoned no surprise in view of the condition of the local banks. Their cash loss to the interior. chiefly through. the sub ury, totals about s9,000,000 thus far. with indications of a further drain tomorrow. Time money was tirmer on the increased demand but rates were unchanged.
 The rise in the German banks dis count rate from 12 to per cent. was in keeping with last weeks ad- vances by the English and French in- stitutions. Nevertheless, the move was productive of some nervousness in London. Paris prices held firm and Berlin displayed more confidence. The
 Bank of England slightly increased it's | liability reserves and bullion holdings The Bank of France also showed a
 nominal gain of gold and increased it's | discounts by over $15,000,000. Bonds again reflected the irregular
 course of stocks on light trading. To-
 tai sales, par value, were s1,7S00 900. l United States bonds were unchanged 1 on call.

FAST BALLS FORCE
 EVANS TO CALL GAME.
Umpire Was Afraid That Walter
 Johnson Would Wing Him.

New York. Oct. 24-Umpire Bill Evans remarked the other day that Walter Johnson. the shrapnel shooter of the Washingtons. is the only pitcher whose speed ever made him blink,
 It was getting dark one afternoon when I was umpiring behind John
 son., said Evans, "and I noticed that catcher Williams was having trouble granoing the fast ones. Hey I re- marked to him, 'be careful. Don't let any of those get past and hit me The ball came in faster and faster and had me blinking and dodging. I thought 1t was about time to quit taking chances, so I turned around to the stand and sang out Game called,'"

PRINCETON MEETS
 DARTMOUTH SATURDAY.
Final Workout at Princeton Before the Game-'Varsity Scores on Freshmen.

Princeton, N. J., Oct. 24.-The Prince ton football team was lined up for a 20 minute scrimmage against the fresh man eleven today as a final workout for the game with Dartmouth on Sat urday.
 Although handicapped by the slip pery condition of the gridiron, the var sity's first string had little difficulty In advancing the ball. The freshmen succeeded in holding the varsity for downs on only two occasions, and when given the ball had their attack torn to pieces by the varsity players. Two touchdowns were scored by the 'varsi ty, one on & 30 yard run by Waller and the other as teh result of a series of line plunges by Dewitt Waller and Baker. Baker also succeeded in kick ing a goal from placement from the 35 yard line.
 Captain Pendleton did not participate in the scrimmage, remaining on the side lines

MINNlS ASSISTS AT
 WHITE ELEPHANT OPENING
Crowds Greet Captain Murphy and His First 5sseman on First Night of New Place,

Capt. Dan Murphy and first base man Stuffy McInnes of the Philadel- phia Athletics, erstwhile worlds cham pions, were the big attractions to the crowds which were on hand all day Thursday at the White Elephant, the new cafe, which was formally opened by Dan Murphy & Co.,. the company being incorporated in the person of Prank Watson. Captain Dan, behind the mahogany. and Stuffy on the out side put in busy day shaking hands with the multitude of Norwich fans who never fail one an occasion to cheer the Athletics or greet the stellar players. From the size of the crowd and the enthusiasm of the greetings . Dan received, his new place of busi- ness at the corner of Water and Mar ket streets is due for prosperous ex- istence.
 Throughout the day the Cadillac or chestra furnished selections for the entertainment of the visitors. The cafe Is decorated in a manner to ap- peal to the sporting fraternity and es- pecially to the baseball fan. Pictures of critical incidents in the worlds se- ries between Philadelphia and Chicago in 1910, photographs of Stuffy McIn- nes, Chief Bender and Capt Dan Murphy himself. with pictures of the Athletic team in uniform and in civil ian clothes adorn the walls Above the mirror are Athletic pennants, base balls rescued from the field of worlds series battles. and one of Dan Mur- phys bats, the very sight of which has doubtless struck fear into the heart of many a slab artist.
 The Auditorium hotel served the following menu:
 Salmon la Raveguote
 Veal Loaf decorated
 Corned Beef and Jelly
 Fried Oysters and Crumbs
 Fried Long Clans
 Fried Round Eels
 Potato Salad, German Style
 Beet Salad, French Dressing
 Saltines and Oysterettes
 Assorted Sandwiches and Cheese
 Shortly before the closing hour of eleven, Jack Robinson mounted chair Rnd led three long cheers for Captain Murphy, Frank Watson and Charlie Connell, the latter having been em- ployed to dispense cooling liquids along the mahogany, and later three cheers for Richness. Stuffy was promptly called upon for a speech and and was again cheered on the close of his brief remarks.
 McInnes teaves this morning for his home in Gloucester, Mass and ofi Saturday will join the Athletics for their trip to Cuba Captain Dan also leaves Saturday to join the team for the trip to the south

 Vale Has the Material.
 Experts who followed Yale's work at West Point say about what you would expect: That the material is there and that the team gives indication of rounding into a very powerful one. The Blue outplayed the Army, and that is something to do, and if there was lack of smoothness in the execution of plays that is anything but ,surpris ing No other team has faced so dan gerous a rival as the Blue has done, and the way the team behaved in gen. eral was a source of keen satisfaction

The football season is growing more interesting from week to week, and there is much more satisfaction TOT spectators than last fall. There IS more action this season, more scoring and the figures tell more trutnfully about the relative merits of the con testing, ~eIeSens. Almost everybody IS scoring in some way, and totals have been reached that are in many cases amazing But the games so far are only shadows of the greater things 10 come, and as shadows they are being closely measured. for they may tell something of the figure to be cut later. The one striking point of the campaign so far has been Harvard's slashlng work. and no matter how strong any body else seems to be, Harvard has shown the most ability so far in its games It is farther ahead in it's de- velopment and loons to De d most i'm pressive eleven.
