without stop until the season closed
TWO weeks ago.
Champion Kramer, 1t might be re-
marked in passing, had the greatest
year of his career. He beat every
body in Europe hands down, and he
came back here and disposed of
Walter Rutt and the other stars in
some of the greatest races ever wit
messed hereabouts. Kramer won
nearly every one of the big-meetiug
races, and he won the N. c. A. cham
pionship for the fourteenth time. In
defeating Rutt, who is the worlds
champion, and who came to this
country in great shape, Kramer just
about topped off his career. His vic
tory, too, over ALI Goullet, the

was notable performance, and all
in all Kramer, for an "old man." had

The six-day race in Boston is a good
one from every angle, according to
the special dispatches from the seat
of battle to the Evening Star. The
race is said to be a hard one and
there promises to be even more doing
before the finish on Saturday night.
At the present writing three teams
are tied for the lead, with ALI Goul-
let and Fred Hill the favorites. On
even terms with this pair are Jimmy
Moran and Reggie Mcnamara and
Pete Drobach and liver Lawson. The
race will be decided on the point sys-
tenn, the leading teams riding the
last hour, with sprints at every twen-
ty laps or so.

OTHER BOXING GOSSIP

Johnny Dundee, with his manager.
Scotty Montieth, arrived in New
York yesterday from the Pacific
coast. Dundee will remain in the
metropolis about a week and will
then go to Milwaukee, where he has
a ten-round engagement with Joe
Rivers on November % Dundee who
fought Willie .Ritchie. in four
round bout on the coast recently,
doubts IL the former lightweight
champion can make the lightweight
limit. Dundee says he fought Ritchie
at catchweights, and Willie weighed
close to the 14o-pound mark. Neal
Mckinley. the local actor, who is
starring on the Pacific coast with
Marcus Loew's road show, was in
Dundee's corner the night he battled
with Ritchie.
The recent four-round bout be-
tween Willie Ritchie and .Tehnr
Dundee on the Pacific coast drew
s5,200 house. Ritchie received 40
cent, or $1,000, while Dundee wa
awarded 20 per cent, or S1,040.

Tickets for the Harvard-Ya game
are not the only things to worry
about. The transportation is some
thing to consider, and the manner of
transportation Is sure to bring tears
to the eyes of thousands of devotees
of the football sport who go annually
to these Harvard Yale games. It is
a shock. There will be no parlor cars.
Big men and little men, all alike, will
have to ride to and from the game
in ordinary day coaches. 1t is ap-
palling, but true. The railroad Of
ficials have said so, and those who
have had any dealings with the rail-
roads will tell you that what the rail-
road officials say goes, with a lock
and key to 1t. This is how the rail-
road officials break the news to the
fans:
THE Yale stadium has been en-
larged to hold between $1,000 and 75,-
900 people. and the demand for trans
portation will undoubtedly be much
in excess of any previous year. In
view of this, after thoroughly can
vassing the entire matter, the COM
pany has finally concluded it would
be out of the question to attempt
parlor car or special service from
New York during the morning rush
or returning from New Haven in the
period while the returning travel is
heaviest. Under this arrangement
any special cars from New York will
have to move the day previous or at
least in time for arrival at New
Haven before a. m, of the day of
the game; under the same arrange
ment 1t will not be possible for pri-
vate cars to leave New Haven after
the game before D. m. The COM
pany regrets that 1t is compelled to
take this action, but under the cir
cumstances 1t cannot change the pro-
gram. The tremendous crowd will
have to be handled, and to do SO as
expeditiously as possible the COM
pany has been compelled to change
the plan that has been in force In
previous years"
There you are. Take 1t or leave 1t.
No parlor cars for the Harvard Yale
game. Cruel railroads!
o.
Princeton is coming into more favor
every day In the discussion over the
outcome of her game with Harvard
on Saturday. Some of the authorities
are making the Tigers the favorites
and most of them are giving the team
a very good chance. Princeton is due
to win both big games this year. She
surely looks better than Yale, and
Harvard. after the game with Michi-
gan. can't be considered invincible.

Returns Indicate Doom
of Boxing in California

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 5.-Prize
fighting is doomed in California on
the face of returns from tuesdays
election as compiled today. The pro-
posed law doing away with the fistic
sport had been given a majority of
votes in the precincts reporting, and
as votes were distributed throughout
the State, II seemed probable that
later figures would maintain the
same ratio against the measure.
Earlier returns, especially those
from cities, made 1t appear that thu
anti-fight measure had been lost by
a narrow margin. The State has
long been a pugilistic stamping
ground, and 1t is said at one time
three world champions of varying
classes lived in the Same block in
this city.

Larry Corbett, the wooden legged
wonder, is acting as an announcer at
the Boston race. When Larry gets
ready to talk he fires a pistol shot
or two and when he finishes his
speech fires another pistol shot or
two. The riders say that Larry will
be a great announcer II the cart
ridges hold out.
Kopsky and Hansen are the real
pests of the race. This team, while
not champions, have started more
trouble than any other team in the
race. They cause the other riders
plenty of annoyance and tired feel
ings.

arrange a two-day meet for the big
relay carnival in April, instead OF
holding the affair to one afternoon, as
has been the custom in former years.

creased to such an extent that the

sary to take two days in which to run
off the classy program. The high and

gether on the following day. AS usual,

was noticed that Jim did his best
work with that same left mitt. He
said it was an old break and he hurt
IT again. The pain, he declared, ran
up his arm and into his heart. 1t
made him faint and weak, he said, and
he couldn't do himself justice. Ad-
hitting ell this to be so, Savage did
nothing from the first blow to the
last that would commend him to fight
again. He made a miserable showing
one of the worst ever saw. Even

Savage was keen on making a good
showing in the hope that he could
force Charley Weinert into a match.
After last night, though, a match
with weinert is out of the question.
1t would be a joke to match these
men, for Weinert would whip him In
round or two. No one knows 1t
better than Jim, though from things
that have happened 1t looks very
much as II Weinert wasn't anxious
to meet Savage. He won't have to
now and he will likely be happy. He
had the chance and he fooled 1t
away. Only last week Charley Does
sereck, manager of the Pioneer Club,
OF New York, offered to put Savage
and Weinert on for a session. He
| said last night he would give Weinert
! $500 to fight Savage at his club. That
was before Jim fought McCarty.
|
committal Eddie Wood, manager of
the Olympic A. c., was also anxious
for the Savage Weinert match. He
said this morning he had the men
booked up at his club for November
| IS. but after he heard about Savage's
poor showing in New York, he didn't
think he would stage the bout
Woods Judgment in this respect is
very good.
McCarty is young. strong fellow
but he hasn't had much experience
That was evident or he would have
beaten Savage in round or two
He knocked Jim down in the frs
round, but he became all excited and
allowed Savage to walk right into c

round or else Jim would have beer

seventh round came early and Saw,
age displayed rare gameness ant
showed clever generalship in wealth

know how to finish him. He lost hi
