GERMAN ATHLETIC
 ENVOYS ARRIVE
WILL MAKE A COMPLETE STUDY OF CLUB AND COLLEGE
 ATHLETES.

Athletic envoys from the German Empire arrised yesterday in New York with mission to study the con- ditions in America that have made this country the leader of all in track and field sports
 At a luncheon at the ". Y A. C. Ambassador Gerard in welcoming the Germans to this country, spoke of the methods that had made America so successful, and complimented the Germans on their rapid strides in athletics. He said that while this country was still able to maintain it's Supremacy he thought 1t would not be long before Germany would be a very formidable rival to the United tingent that they would be received with open arms wherever they went in this country to make their observa- lions. Nothing, he said, would be hidden from them and he hoped that they would be able to take advantage of what they saw to improve athletic sports in their native land. They will go to New Haven, Boston and other university towns, where they will try to learn all they can about college athletics.
 Albert Kraenzlein, the old Univers- ity of Pennsylvania athlete, who was one Of the greatest all around per formers on track and field fifteen years ago. was among those who met the contingent at the pier. Indications are that he will be chosen to train a German team for the 1916 Olympic games in Berlin.

BRIGKLEY STARTS
 HIS TRAINING SOON

Charles BrickIey, the bright particu- lar star Of Harvard's gridiron men and shining light of the football Armament has sent word to Head Coach Haugh- ton that he will report at Boston for early gridiron practice in his right form.
 Through his non-partfcipation in sports during the latter part of, the last college year Brickley took on about 15 pounds more than he could successfully carry. He has refrained from doing any heavy work in track or baseball because of the strained lig- ament in his foot and had remained content to put the shot. When he won his second f-F5'' at New Haven by play ing in this event at the annual track meet he ceased active athletic work. During the two weeks of spring foot ball practice Brfckley went in for drop kicking work but this doesn't pull any weight from him. He left Cambridge late in June with exactly 200 pounds of flesh to his credit His normal foot ball weight is 188, and Brickley will do enough training to rid himself of the objectionable dozen pounds by the end of this month.

NEW LONDON SWIMMER
 ALMOST REACHES GOAL

Within 300 yards of his goal, which was Sandy Hook, Harry Elionsky, a boy swimmer from New London, who had started from the Battery, New York. in the early morning, was oblig- ed to give up his task because the in- coming tide was too strong for him. Efionsky had been in the water fifteen hours and twenty-one minutes. He was not completely exhausted, but could not steer his own course because of the choppy sea, which made attend ants in a row boat so seaeick they were unable to guide him. His face was badly swollen from the skipping of the waves.
 The young New Londoner came nearer to accomplishing the oft-tried- for feat than anyone else ever did He said afterward he would try to swim the English Channel next year.

BOXING TOURNAMENT
 BETWEEN EAST AND WEST

It is possible that a boxing tourna- ment between the professional boxers os the east and those of the middle west, or between New York state and Wisconsin, will be arranged next win ter. Some of the boxing fans here abouts have suggested such a tourney now that the sport is IegaIized in both New York and wisconsin. The vest ern section, or rather the middle west, could put forth some pretty good men in a tourney of any kind, having Eddie McGoorty, Jimmy Clabby and Jack Dillon for middle weightss PactEey Mo Farland, Charlie White and Pal Brown for light weights, with Ray Temple to draw in if necessary; Matty McCue in the feather weight class: Ray Bronson and Billy Walters in the wei ter weight class and Young Mahoney and Johnny Cou1on for the bantams- There would be no heavy weight to put forth in the middle west. It would be a pretty strong team and one that the east would have to hustle to beat, even with Kid Williams. Leach Cro@s. Frankie Burns, Gunboat smith, Leo Houclx, Sam Robideau, Young ShuErue and others. Such a tourney would have to be run of in three nights, using one star bout each night, with the runners up to use as semi-hna1s or double windups It would make hit with the fans and no doubt prove a sue cess.

WAR BETWEEN BIG LEAGUES
 ENDED 22 YEARS AGO TO-DAY

The war between the National League and the American Association ended with a truce proclaimed on August q, 1891, twenty-two years ago today. The fight, which commenced in 1890 and was carried on at a great financial sacrifice. began with the in vasion of Boston and Cincinnati by the American. Association. Cincin- natl soon dropped out, however, and was replaced by Milwaukee. The treaty of peace was in reality brought about by the assertion of Mike Kelly, who left the American Association to play with the Boston Nationals. Under the terms of the treaty four of the American Association clubs were talk en into the National, which then be- came twelve-city circuit, including New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, St. Louis, Boston, Brooklyn, Baltimore, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Pittsburgh Washington and Louisville. The dog en-club body was by no means a bowling success, but it was continued until 1899, when Baltimore. Cleve- land. Washington and Louisville were dropped.

Jeffries Claims
 To Have Proof
 He Was Drugged

The direct statement that James J. Jeffrtes after his defeat by Jack John son at Reno sought and secured proof that he had been drugged before the battle with the negro, is made in a signed article written by a New York sporting editor.
 The statement follows in part:
 ''Jeffries hired one of the greatest detective agencies in the world to run down the facts The details gathered, make up a complete story of the most sordid plot that ever turned fair sport into a sure thing gamble. Possibly Johnson would have won in any case, but the clique that handled the bet ting, made it a certainty by drugging Jeffries with the help of men who were in his confidence and who had the run of his camp. They cleaned up a fortune through betting eomm1ks- sioners stationed in many cities In Paris alone, they wagered $24,0o0 and won $4O,O00. In Reno and San Fran cisco and Los Angeles and New York. their gains went into the hundreds of thousands.
 "The tip for the big killing was re- les than 24 hours before the fight, when the gamblers knew that Jeffries was safe
 .sThe first plot was preached in d back room, the last man, necessary to it's success, accepted his part in a meeting in a Reno alley two nights before the fight. after having learn ed that he could make no more money with Jeffries and that he could win thousands by turning Judas. One man whose available cash was also secretly waged on Johnson, smilingly posed as a friendly adviser of Jeffries during the flght.''
