kILBANE EXPECTS TO
 TACKLE ALL COMERS

Johnny KiIbane, the Cleveland colt who holds the featherweight title, is out with the announcement that he will be as busy as any champion in the business this fall.
 Little has been heard of the feath- erweight boss since he was held to a draw by Johnny Dundee at Los An ge1es in a championship fight Kill bane went up to Oakland, Cal, a short time after that, outboxed a feather named Fox, and then went quietly to his Cleveland home.
 When Nate Lewis and Charlie White went to Canton on Labor Day for the White-Griffin quarter, Gilbane was there with his manager, Dunn. The latter was betting money on White to win. KiIbane in talk 7Rith Lewis outlined his plans for the coming box ing season:
 ''I will admit,''' he said, "that I have not been very active in the defense of my title of late. I will make no more careful fights from now on. Every bout I engage in will be a battle. I intend to become the Terry McGovern of the feathers and stop as many challengers as can.
 ''I have spent most of the summer on a farm outside of Cleveland, and now weigh about 127 pounds. However, 122 ringside will still be easy for me. am in the finest physical condition of my life and just itching for fights 9

JOE JEANETTE
 WILL MEET WINNER
Colored Wonder Signs To Box
 Langford- Smith, Victor.

Manager Gibson of the Garden A. C., New York, signed Joe Jeannette yesterday to meet the winner of the Gunboat Smith-Sam Langford bout, which will take place in Madison Square Garden Friday night. Gibson announced Oct. 24 as the date for the battle. Gibson also received the fol- lowing statement from Langford's manager, Joseph Woodman, which should stop enemies of the Boston negro from trying to injure the match.
 'Langford will be trained to the minute for Gunboat Smith. He has and will weigh less than 18O pounds Sam will try to stop Smith as quickly as possible-maybe in the first round. Langford boxed Kubiak, Tony Ross. Jim Smith, and Jim Barry, and whipped them all in spite of rumors that he didn't intend to try. It will be the same thing over again with Gunboat Smith. If Langford cant stop him in ten rounds it will be a setback for us-for Sam believes he can whip Jack Johnson or any other heavyweight in the world, black or white''
 Buckley seems to think that Lang ford is not invulnerabIe-and points out the fact that Porky Flynn put him down for eight seconds in the first round of their recent mill in Boston. Buckley thinks that if Smith who is a harder hitter than Flynn reaches Langforo's jaw the bout will end right there.

A new kind of baseball score board which is the next thing to the game itself, will be shown at the Empire theatre during the games of the com ing Worlds Series. It is an improve nfent on the machines heretofore ex- hibited and Manager Patterson of the Empire theatre has secured the ex- elusive right to exhibit the machine in Bridgeport.
 The score board is ten feet high with a bright green field, red pitchers s box and red base lines. Suspended on invisible wires is a cleaning white ball, a real ball in fact, which by a cunning mechanical arrangement of wires, flies to deep center or where ever the batter happens to send it. This ball showing every actions is the distinctive feature of the new board. ' To make the game seem more req 1istic the man behind the board can make the ball curve for an in or an out shoot. If a runner is on first base he can be made to fit back and forth off the base while the ball moves hesitatingly back and forth in the pitchers box, as the pitcher consid- CTS trying to catch the would be base stealer off first.

OAKLANDS 60 THROUGH
 FAST PRACTICE WORKOUT

'eThe fastest eleven that has repre- sented the East End in years was the declaration made by Head Coach ''Sox'' Seyfert of the Oaklands last night when the members of the cham pion 1912 eleven went through forty
 minutes of hard drilling at the field opposite Newfield park. Coach Sey- fert had his candidates hard at work and according to the speed displayed last night, the team will give every eleven in the city the stifest battle for championship honors that they ever had.
 The best material among the squad of thirty was picked to make up the personnel of the team and the re- suit the East Binders will have a back field that tips the scales at 456 pounds. Johnny Cnaki, the local wrestler. made his first appearance as member of the team last night and showed up to his usual standard. With Cnaki and Nanchy on the team, the Oaks" have two well known wrestlers- Cnaki is a member of the White Eagles A. e. of East Bridgeport and Nanchy ais

STOVALL DIDN'T
 LIKE COLLEGIANS
Reason Why He Lost Job As
 Manager Tn St. Louis.

No more singular reason for the re- lease of abaseba1 manager has ever been advanced than that in the case of George stovall. recently relieved Of the management of the St. Louis Browns. It IS alleged that Stova1Ts antagonism toward college players was the rock on which he and Owner Hedges split.
 It is charged that Stovau absolute ly declined to give a fair trial to any of the college players turned over to him and that he released them with all possible haste.
 The last stray was StovaIls release of Lavan and Rodgers, obtained from Michigan University on recomn1enda- tfon of Scout Branch Hickey and who were thought highly of by Colonel Hedges. Lavan, an infelder, was sent to Connie Mack, and Rodgers, a catcher, was released to Chattanooga Hickey succeeded StovalI as manager of the Browns.

KRAENZLEIN GOES TO TRAIN GERMANS
American Trainer To Instruct Teutonic Athletes For Olym- pic Games.

With hopes of training German athletes to carry off the next Olympic games, Alvin W. Kraenzlein, the ath- 1etic coach, sailed yesterday morn ing on the North German Lloyd steamship Kaiser Wilhelm II, bound for his native land. With him went his wife and daughter, CIaudine, and the Imperial Commission which was responsible for Kraenzlein's appoint ment to this position.
 The commissioners spent almost a year in this country, Investigating the system of athletic training at univer- sitfes and clubs. They recently ad- vised their Government to engage Kraenzlein as head coach for all the German athletic associations.
 Kraenzlein, who was accompanied to the steamship by James B. Sulli- van, secretary of the A. A. U., said that he hoped to develop a winning team for the Germans.
 t'The time is short" he said, "but I have great hopes. I am mighty glad to be going back to the old country was born in Germany, and have not been able to visit it for many years.'

YANKEES AT POLO
 GROUNDS IN 1914
Enable To Get New Field Fin ished They Accept Giants
 Offer.

The Yankees will again play on the Polo Grounds next season. This state ment was made yesterday by John R. Foster. secretary of the Giants Presi- dent Harry Hampstead of the Giants and Frank Farrell of the Yankees signed an agreement yesterday in Hempstead's office by which the Amer ican League club win play another season at the home of the New York Nationals
 Tn making the statement, however. Both clubs wish to make the positive Announcement that this joint occu- pancy of the Polo Grounds will only last for one more season. The Arner1- can League was compelled to ask for the use of the Polo Grounds for an- other year, owing to the difficulty which Frank Farrell has experienced in getting title to some land needed for the construction of his new base ball plant in Kingsbridge-
 President Johnson made the request From Mir Hampstead, and did so with 1egret as he is opposed to two rival clubs playing in the same park. Pres ident Hempstead of the Giants was glad to help out the American League again, because of past fayors, but ID Permitting the HighlandenS to use the Polo Grounds another year he makes positive stipulation that the Amer1- cans must vacate by the 1915 season.
 There has been some objection among National League men to the Yankees t playing on the Polo Grounds, and I though it is a good business arrange ment temporarily for the Giants, Pres ident Hampstead fears 1t will destroy the rivalry between the two Manhat- tan clubs, which helps to keep base ball such an attractive sport

The white ball flashes to first. Safe. And on the next ball the man goes down to second, but they get him. Get him within a few inches, which makes the play real that a crowd can't help but yell.
 Up on a small platform behind the board stand four men. One operates the ball. One with a telephone re- ceiver at his ear gets reports from the telegraph room which is installed in one of the dressing rooms under the stage. A third tends the inning scoreboard and the batting order list A fourth reads off the game and checks up from his "flimsy'' sheet the telephone reports of the game, ball by ball, strike by strike, and play by play, as the game is clicked off from the box at the Polo Grounds in New York or from Shibe field, Philade1- phia, just 20 to 30 seconds after it has actually taken place.
 The regular program of pictures will be shown each day until the time of calling game when the pictures will be stopped and the score board take i the place of the picture screen.

CHARLEY WHITE SHOULD
 GET CREDIT FOR SHOWING
(By T. s. Andrews.)


 The fans of the middle west have got to take off their hats to Charlie White, the Chicago boy, whom Nate Lewis has nursed along for the past few years in the hope that some day he would be a champion, not a light weight title holder, but a feather weight champion. It was supposed from the boys build that he would remain a feather weight for several years, but the almost constant physi- cal exercise which he has had has re- suited in building him up to that point where he no longer can make the feather weight limit and he is now nearly a full fedged light weight, sealing nicely at 130 pounds. Since White gave Pal Moore such a beating at Kenosha last winter he has been going right down the line, scoring knockouts and dem onstrating that he has a stiff kick in either hand. He met a setback at the hands of Jack Britton, but from all accounts he gave away weight to the clever Jack ana put up a fine battle over the mara thon route. At Racine, Wis, the oth- CT night he met Mickey Sheridan, an other Chicago light weight, who has been doing well about the west and south, and stopped him in one round and 52 seconds.
 For three minutes of the first round Mickey made a showing because the White boy was feeling" him out Mickey rushed and s1ugged, but it did not make Charlie open up.. He had the Kid Mccoy expression on his face and waited his chance. The chance came at the beginning of the second round. Sheridan rushed and was met by a straight left to the point of the chin. The impact of the man rush ing in and meeting the stiff jolt put him down, clean as a whistle. Mickey was flat on his back, but succeeded in getting to his feet as his Seconds howled for him to stay down.
 He immediately went down again on one knee, which was a violation of the rules, and at the count of nine arose, but he was apparently so dazed then that the referee stopped 1t and gave the decision to White, which under the circumstances, was proper Mickey had no chance and the referees action prevented any possible serious ending. It might be well to mention, too, that at the same show two very clever bantams appeared In the senli-final bout-Artie ArnstronE of Chicago and Young Sinnett of Rock Island, H. Armstrong is a duplicate of Eddie Santry, having that clever boxers style and expression. while Sinnett is just the reverse, being more of the Solly Smith style of fighter, when that great little battler was meeting such stars as Johnny Griffin and George Dixon years ago. Young Sinnett is sure a fighting demon and with little more cleverness and eX- perience. he will be in line for Johnny Coulon and Kid Williams.

tooth pullers and pugilists, received a rude jolt at the Atlantic A. C., New York, last night, when Johnny Alberts of Elizabeth, N. J., beat him decisively in bout that went the limit of ten rounds. The fact that Cross had put AIberts to sleep in the first contest in which they met led the big crowd to believe the East Slider would repeat his victory.
 A1berts, however, showing the best work of his career, not only avoided a knockout but had all the better of seven of the ten sessions. Two rounds were even and Cross had a shade in one.
