wants $4,000 Per Year.

Roger Bresnahan is willing to sue
coed Hank O'Day as manager of the
Cubs providing President Thomas
hands him a three-year contract call
ing for $4,000 per year. There is
little doubt but that O'Day is done
as the Cubs pilot No official infor-
nation has been issued to this effect,
but the rumors have been SO strong
lately that Bresnahan was to be
made manager that Roger today
gave out his ultimatum to the club.
Bresnahan this year drew down $500
as a plain catcher and his boost for
an $500 increase to assume the re-
sponsibilities as manager is not
thought to be unreasonable, especial
Iy when taking into consideration
what a winning ball club can do in
that city.

Mickey Donley and Ba.nty Lewis
would furnish the main encounter at

alleged framing OF the bout
scheduled for tomorrow night, how

Jim Savage has forced the calling off
OF the proposed match. 1t il under
stood that Woods declared he would
not allow Donley, Weinert and Kurtz,
who are said to be under the man
agement of Benny Miller, to box at

.PAPP AND JIMMY IN
DRAW AT TROXLER'S
Main Bout Is Marred Somewhat
by Too Much Hold
ing"

Bert Pspp and Battling Jimmy
boxed four rounds to draw at Trox-
ler's Central Institute last night
Both boys were willing. but the con-
test afforded little excitement, due
TO the fact that each held considera-
bly, Papp got over some good
punches with both hands, but Jimmy
was his equal in 1abbing, and 1t was
the consensus of opinion that the
battle was even.
Billy Kelly. the Fighting Chauf-
feur and Jim Craney put up four
lively rounds of milling. Craney had
a terrific punch. but missed his mark
several times. Kelly was the cleverer
boxer, while Craney was slow. The
latter, however. returned all the
wallops he received and was entitled
to q draw.
Willie Mccarthy, q willing mixer,
received cut over his right eye IN
the first session in a bout with
Young Oily, and though Mccarthy
was anxious to continue Referee
| Ross thought it advisable to call of
the contest. William Bullard and
Young Reno. a pair of boys who APP
parently know nothing OF the art,
were allowed to go round and a
half, after which they were waived
to their corners. Kid Paddy, after
taking good lacing in three rounds,
came back in the fourth and put

QUARTERBACK JOB
STILL A PROBLEM
Princeton Coaches Resume
Their WOrries-NO Monday
Rest for Tiger Squad.

PRINCETON. Oct. 20.-The Prince
ton varsity and scrub were put
through a fifty minute scrimmage
yesterday afternoon and were kept
hard at 1t for the full time. The
coaches emphasized the forming OF
interference and devoted practically
all of their attention 10 this feature
of the attack. The interference in
the game with Lafayette, on Satur-
day, was noticeably weak, and this
fact was chiefly responsible for the
way in which the Princeton backs
were often thrown for loss. There
was an Improvement in the team
work yesterday afternoon. The men
got together much better and there
was more of drive to their attack.
This driving attack cannot be per-
fected until they find the man for
quarterback. This has been the
greatest problem for the coaches as
we'll as one Of the handicaps OF the
team. A solution is hoped for in the
person of Eberstadt He has been on
the side lines for the past ten days
on account Of injuries, and up until
that time had shown the greatest
promise of being the field general
of the team, Nourse, the regular
centre, who has been taking a weeks
rest, will enter the scrimmage today
also, and possibly Mclean.

CYCLISTS START
WITH A VICTORY
Take Two Games in Three from
Northern Club in Suburban
Bowling League.


Bay View bowlers started the Sub
urban League season of 1914-1915 last
night by taking two games in three
from the Northern Republican Club
team on the Northern alleys. The
Northerns, after losing the first game,
came back in the second with some
good consistent rolling. In the third
the pinning of Hinzinger, Holtzhauer
and Cort was too much for the North
ems, who fell into many holes.
Several good scores were made dur
ing the night and the pinning was
consistent on both sides. In the first
game Maggie shot in 213 score, while
Woodward was good for POI on the
Wheelmen side. +. Clare Cyphers.
secretary OF the league, was high
man on the Northern team, account
ing for 1856. Cyphers did good work,
having scores of 1856, 1870 and 1871. In
the second game Cort, of Bay View,
got an even 200, while Ryerson, of
the Northerns, came back with 211.
In his final game Cort rolled the best
score of the night when he hit the
pins for q total of GAG. There was a
good crowd of bowling fans on hand
when the teams started in action
The scoring was considered all the
more creditable when 1t Is taken into
consideration that new pins were
used.

a tally of 80. He started with nine

a couple of strikes. He kept right
along with good filing until the ninth
frame, when a miss occurred. Three
strikes for a windup would have
given him a fob, but he got only
twenty-five pins on his last three
balls.
Charles Gimbel. of Team No. IL.
distinguished himself by getting the
altogether creditable total of 92, IN
spite of miss in the second frame
and another in the seventh. He
wound up with four strikes in q row.
Arthur McCarriclS, who was anchor
for Team No. 10, rolled good tenpins,
having a score of "a. His fatal mss
came in the fifth frame.

thing but sterling performances.

Robert d. Buttle, former pool cham
pion of New York State, defeated
Prof. Francis A. O'Toole, also of New
York, 100 points to IA, in match at
the st. James's Catholic Club, Jeffer-
son street, last night The contest
was held in conjunction with the open
ing of the winter season at the organ
ization, and both contestants were
guests of Harry Burke, better known
as Tim" After the match Mr..
O'Toole exhibited his skill in fancy
work with the cue, and was well APP
plauded. Marty Dormer, of Brooklyn,
was another expert to show the finer
points of the green table pastime. 1t
was announced that Mr.. Buttle would
meet George Clark, the present New
York State titleholder, in match for
the championship at Nat Wards par
lors, in Brooklyn, next week.

Although assurances from both AM
napolis and West Point reached Phil
adelphia yesterday that the Army
Navy game would be played there
this year. announcement was made at
the navy department at Washington
today declaring the game off for this
year.
When Secretary Daniels was ques-
toned about the playing of the game
he replied that the matter was in the
hands of Lieutenant Commander N.
l.. Jones.
Commander Jones thereupon an
nounced that the game was absolutely
off. He said the navy department
had washed their hands of the affair.

NOW THE NAVY-ARMY GAME
IS DECLARED OFF ONCE MORE

1t is believed that both Secretary
Daniels and Secretary Garrison have
become impatient of trying to settle
the apparently endless controversy
between the two academies as to
where the game should be played.
and have decided that further nego-
tiations are useless. -
The latest proposal from West Point
called for the playing of two of the
next five annual games in New York
and three in Philadelphia. This was
thought to be something of a conces-
sion to the Naval Academy, inasmuch
as the middies had preferred Phila-
delphia as the scene of the contests.
while the Army wanted New York.
