NEW OWNER FOR
 BOSTON RED SOX
Gen. Taylor And Son Likely To Buy Out James
 McAIeeP.

Boston, Nov. 28-According to a statement printed here yesterday at tributed to Ban Johnson, president of the American League, control of the Boston American League Club is soon to pass out of the hands of President James R. MicA1eer and his Western associates. Former President John I. Taylor and his father, Gen. Charles H. Taylor, it is understood, stand willing to take over the holdings of the West ern syndicate who backed McAleer and Robert McRoy when they took hold of the Red Sox shortly after the close of the 1911 season.
 The TayIors are now owners of 50 per cent. of the Red Sox stock, but by agreement with the syndicate which took over a half share in 1911 have had nothing to do with the control.
 The American League president has been in conference with the Tay1ors this week. He is also in close touch with a Chicago man who is said to be the largest owner of stock outside of Gen. Taylor and who is believed to have been desirous of selling his stock ever since Manager Stahl was sum mariIy deposed last Summer and the team began to go down hill. Gen. Taylor refuses to either affirm or deny the correctness of the report.

CARLISLE TAKES
 BROWN INTO CAMP
Indians Held To 13 To 0 Score By Alert Providence
 Team.

Providence, R. T., Nov. 2S-An Provi- dence was happy last night because Brown, by playing a far stronger of fensive and defensive game than she has exhibited before th1s season. held the Carlisle Indians to a score of 1S to o on Andrews Field.
 On several occasions Brown had the ball within a few yards of the red mems goal line and on each occasion she attempted the forward pass. but the Indians intercepted the play and afterward scored a goal themselves.
 The Brown bear held the Indians for downs twice and on each occasion the ball was in Brown territory and but a short distance from the line. Guyon, CaIac and Carlow were the best ground gathers for the Indians. Guyon and Calac each scored 8 touch- down and Carlow kicked the only goal Bean, Andrews and Blue were the Brown stars. At the opening of the game Andrews made 25-yard gain on 8 forward pass It was one of the best runs of the game. Just be- fore the end of the first period Brown had the ball on CAr1isle's e4gf1t-yard fne and attempted a, forward pass that was caught by an Indian

 The Annex team won yesterday in the annual battle with the Washing ton Gaees at Yale field. 1t was a de- 0, scored through twoffe4d goals and two touchdowns and a goal Twelve thousa1d people saw the game and, while to the crowds on the west stands ,who were there to cheer on the G1ees, the day was gloomy, it was glorious for the Annex boys and men and girls who for two years have seen their favor4tes leave the field in de- feat.
 There can be no question that the better team won-a team better even than the score would indicate. Tae alees seemed all shot to pieces. There was no ofHen9e at aal and the defense, while rallyfng at times sufficiently to make the Annex man try a. field goal rather than touchdown, was not the kind to match up wfth team like that which represented the Annex

The Independents defeated the fast O1ympias yesterday in an Interesting game by the score of 13-0. The fast playing of both teams prevented any individual from starring.

 The Westwoods think it is about time that the StiI1mans left the dia- mond and play them at the lumber lot Sunday for a nice piece of change, if the Sti11mans will play them and use their own players, and not the Rosebuds as they did yesterday.

JOE WALCOTr, 'eBLACK. DEMON OF BARBADOES," WAS
 TERROR OF THE RING

It will be just seven years to-mor- row since Joe Wa1cott, the ''BlaciE Demon of Barbadoes," passed in his check as a fighter. The rmer champion of the welterweignts, who was one of the greatest fighters of all time, engaged in his last important ring battle on Nov. 29, 1906, when he fought Honey Melody. The eZ-de- mon was pounded all over the ring, and was at last brought to a realfza- ton that he was all in as a fighter. He was than in his tnfrty-hfth year, but it was not age that ended his pu~ gilistic career, but a, bullet. Wa1cott was fond of sporting gun One night he was showing off at a dark town dance. and accidentally sent a bullet through his trusty rfght-the fist that had won him over hundred battles. After that he was a. one handed fighter, and naturally he couldn't last.
 Joe was born in British Guiana. in 1872, but later removed to the neign- boring West Indian Island Of Barba- dos. As a youth he shipped as cabin boy in a schooner, and left her at Bos- ton. There he worked at various jobs, and eventually became the fu- man punching bag in a gym" At first his shape-he was almost as wide as he was ta1l-was a source of amusement, but in a little while Joe

He soon developed into a great boxer and a classy wrestler, and Tom O'Rourke added Wa1cott to his stable. which also included George Dixon, the wonderful little co1ored boxer. In 1901 Wa1cott met Rube Ferns, the weiterweight champion, at Fort Erie. and knocked out the farmer in the fifth round, annexing the title. Rube had reached the top of the weiter- weight heap only a few months before by defeating Matty Matthews at To ronto. Walcott never insisted that his opponents make any specified weight. ''The bigger they are, Ghe harder they fal1,'' was Joe's motto. He whipped Joe Choynsl1i, the clever heavyweight, and challenged Jim Jef- fries, Tom Sharkey, Jim Corbett and other top-notchers. When he went over to England in 1902 to take part in the coronation boxing festival. he offered to bet $5,0OO that he could whip any English heavyvefghf, but none of them accepted the offer. Wal colt has always hated Sam LangfOrd. and whenever the pair have met they have immediately proceeded to mix

Manager Keen an is also making efforts to bring the Annex team to this. city. That eleven has number of college stars, inc1ud- ing Engtehorn and Elcock of Dart mouth and Hubbard of Amherst.
