SPORTS IN ENGLAND
 CONTINUE DURING WAR

London. Eng, Nov 15-Sport Of dif-5 ferent kinds still goes here, racing, boxing and footbal predominating. The boxing business is suffering, to-, gether with everything else, but a few clubs run weekly shows of a second rate character. The National Sport ing club, London, had a big night when Jimmy Wild met Young Sy-g nonds in an eliminating bout for the 112 lbs. title left vacant by Percy Jones getting beyond his weight. Wilde is a real phenomenon and beat Symonds in such style as to suggest that he will be the next holder of the 112 Ib. LonsdaIe belt. In Symonds he was meeting a. boy fully 14 lbs. heavier, but the handicap affected him not at all. Once or twice during the 15 rounds, Symonds rocked him with a stinging punch, but Wi1de's- cleverness quickly took him out of danger and at no point did Symonds look like a winner w ilde is now matched with Fancy Lee for the title. and the bout will probably be sehed- uIed for January 25.
 Jack Curley, the American sport who was interested in Hackenschnlidt,3 t. is over here and according to report has obtained Jack Johnson's sigma ture to contract for a bout with Jess Willard. The deed has been duly signed, sealed and registered at the official registry, Somerset House, London, but I do not fancy Johnosn vii box for bit C,urIey is not clear where he will pull the bout off, nor am I
 had sword this week that Charles Ledoux is not. dead and has never been near the fighting line in France. Reliable news from the battlefie1ds is scarce and I cannot say with any certainty whether Ledoux is alive or dead
 The proposed twenty-rOund contest between Bombardier Wells and Frank Moran is indefinitely off The Anerd- can is said to be suffering from rheu- matism, which may be true, but I do not see that is any excuse for calling off the match altogether. Wells has been roughly handled in the press because he has not rejoined the army like the rest of the professional boxers who had seen service before taking up the game for a. living. This may be one reason for the dropping Of the bout In some quarters it has been suggested that the police authorities do not look favora;bly upon big scraps now, especially as the force Is several hundreds short through the war
 Jim Sullivan, who formerly held the middleweight title here, is one of the new army recruits, but is hankering after another go at the title.

ACORN A. C. TO
 PUT ON SMOKER

The fourth monthly smoker of the winter season will be held at the Acorn A c. club rooms tomorrow evening This time the matchmaker, Slim Brennan. has decided to add another bout to the card, making all in all, five bouts of four rounds each. There will be no wait between bouts.
 One of the features Of the enter tain1nent will be the return to the ring of Freddie Bosse, the one time pride of Bridgeport Bosse has not donned a. mftt for two years but in sists that he is still there with the old wallop.
 Artie Handy, the boy with the wicked left, will also be on hand and his bout with Kid Dorkin ought to be a. hair raiser. Battling Kuntz. the boy who put Young Brown to sleep a few weeks ago at the Armory. has been matched to meet Teddy Hubbs in the star bout of the evening. The card as arranged is as follows: Young Fox vs. Eddie Kelly; K. o. Moran vs. Tom Hawthorne; Artie Handy vs. Kid Dorkin; Freddie Bosse va Young Brown; star bout of the evening, Ted dy Hubbs vs. Battling Kuntz.
 Besides the boxers. the other en- tertainers will provide amusement for the fans.

EIGHTH A ANNIVERSARY OF RING APPEARANCE
 OF GEORGE DIXON

To-morrow will be the eighth an- niversary Of the last appearance in the ring of one. of the greatest little fighters who ever wore a glove, Geo. Dixon. The little Nova Scotian black met Monk Newsboy in Providence on that occasion, and lost the decision in fifteen rounds. He was but a shad- ow of his former self, and the marvel ous skill and genera1ship which had made him 8. favorite were absent. After that Little Chocolate,'' who had made fortune in the ring, sunk into abject poverty, and within three years he was dead. zDixon's ring ca reer extended over twenty years. He was a. little piekanfnny of sixteen when he started in the game, and he was thirty-six when he engaged in his last bout. At twenty he became the bantamweight champion of the world, and a little later he achieved the worlds featherweight title by defeat ing Nunc Wallace in London, Aus tralian Abes' Willis in San Francisco, and Jack Skellys in New Orleans. He lost the title to Sol1y Smith in 1897. but soon regained it, and held the honor until Terry McGovern whipped him in 1900.

YALE CREW AND PENN TO

A crew race between Yale and the University Of Pennsylvania has been arranged for April 3. Both the first and second university crews from Yale will compete over mile and a half course on the SchuyIkiH river. at Philadelphia.
 The main purpose of this race will be to furnish some preparation for the Harvard race. in accordance with last seasons policy of holding at least one race before the final event. This vii be the first time in 26 years that Yale has met Pennsylvania on the water In the years 1886 to 1889 in elusive Yale ,rowed Pennsylvania at New London a week or so before, the Harvard race and won both races all four years.

OVERTIME BATTLE WON
 BY RIBBONS
By Wagner.l

By 8 one hand shot. from under the basket, Eddie Leonard. the minstrel boy who plays center for the Blue Ribbons, made the winning toss that gave the locals victory over the Yonk- CTS five last night after a rousing overtime period. This goal made the score 24 to 22 and the rooters who crowded Colonial hall went delirious with joy.
 It was an uphill fight and the vic tory for the Ribbons was all the more glorious on that account. At one time in the second half Yonkers led by 20 to 8 and the fans expected it would be q, WalkaWay for the visitors Then the Ribbons began to hit their stride.
 Several long goals by Becky Beck man gave the boys confidence and as they graually began to overhaul the visitors the crowd stood upon the seats and howled. The figures stood 22 to IF in favor of Yonkers with about three minutes to play when Becknan made two circus shots that brought the score 22 to 21. The time was growing short and the fans were yelling for a tie score. A foul was called on Yonkers and with nine sec- onds to play, Beckman took careful aim and dropped the ball into the netting, evening things and making overtime play necessary.
 In the extra period the spectators
 
 had possession of the ball almost all the time and after several chances had been missed Leonard managed to reg ister the winning goal. It was one of the most exciting games in years.
 In spite of their victory it must be admitted that the Ribbons were out c1assed in passing. The Yonkers made the Ribbons look cheap in this department. In shooting both teams were off. The Ribbons were worse, if anything, for they had more chances They frequently missed the easiest kind of opportunities. It was only the sensational shooting of Beckman that made victory possible. This young man was in great form as his record of five goals and four fouls shows.
 Roxey Roach, who played the other forward, was always in the thick of the fray. Swenson outdid himself at guard. He was against Jolly Jake Fuller one of the most elusive for wards, but the Ribbon star outplayed the Yonkers boy. Banghammer and Leonard also gave satisfactory ser vice. c. Lamb and Barger excel1ed for the visitors. The lineup:
