ANNIVERSARIES
 OF RING BATTLES

1sds-Jack Randall defeated Ned Turner in 34 rounds in England. This was one of the greatest middleWeight battles ever fought, and attracted al- most as much attention as a contest for the heavyweight title. Randall an Irishman, was generally known as ..Ishe NonpareiI,'' and was never de- feated, but he had to put up the hght of his career to stop Ned Turner For over two hours and a. quarter the men fought furfous1y, now one, now the other, having the advantage. The Irishman proved to have more stamina than the Englishman, and after the 34th round the latter was unable to toe the line. Both Randall and Fur ner challenged the holders of the heavyweight title, but they were only laughed at, as 1t was then considered impossible for a small man, however good, to whip a. giant After quitting the ring Randall became the proprie- tor of one of, the most famous bars in London. the ''Hole in the Wan in Chancery Lane

Two of these are said to be pitchers Peters and Somers. Another is Out fielder Chouinard. These three sign ed one-year contract with the Brook 1yn club, and it is believed that Presi- dent Ward will find room for them with some other Federal League team.
 The signing of Marquard gives the Brookfeds one of the best pitching staffs in the outlaw organization. Besides Marquard. these pitchers are signed up with the Brookfeds for next year: Cy FaIkenberg, purchas- ed from Indianapolis; Tom Seaton, Miner Brown, Joe Ffneran, Eddie Laf- ftte and Jim B1uejacket, the Indian, who signed a contract with the Giants last year, before jumping to the Brookfeds

MILLIKEN TO
 BE WITH YOST TEAM TOMORROW

When the Washington Glee football team takes the field Sunday afternoon, it will contain five of last years An Yost to on Yale Field. It will also have two more players who were in that game that were on the Yost side. The Annex players that will be found in the lineup with the Glee club are Moose Miller, NaSle and Waters, members of the New Haven baseball team, Dietz, of Yale and Clerkin and they will also have the assistance of Moshier and Layery, formerly of the Yost team. In addf- ton to these players, they will be strengthened by Costello of last years Georgetown University football team. He was picked for the Southern All American team; he halls from AeSf- den and was formerly on the MeTiden High school team.
 In all probability, See1ey will run the team from the quarterback posi- ton, his place in the backheld being taken by one of the best halfbacks In the country. This man played against the YoSt team on Thanksgiving after noon and sails under the name of Mi1hken; his playing alone in that Harvard Freshman game he was the whole show. and the Yosts consider themselves fortunate in securing this sar.

GIANTS TO
 HAVE LAW ON RUBE MARQUARO

"Rube'' Marquard, for the past six years a. member of the Giants yester- day noon hoped over to the Federal League and signed a contract with the Brooklyn Club. The announcement was made by Robert B. Ward. Presi- dent of the Brooklyn Federal League Club. This is the third raid which the Federa1se have made on organized baseball in the past few days, Eddie Plank of the Athletics being the first to cast his fortunes with the indepen- dent league on Wednesday, and Wal ter Johnson of the Senators placing his name to a Federal contract on Thursday.
 According to the stat tement of John M. Ward he received a telephone call from 'tRube'' on "Wednesday asking if he might have an interview. and in tinating that he was ready to go to the Federa1s. He saw MT. Ward and talked the matter over with him. but was told to go home and think about it Yesterday noon Marquard came to the Federal League office, satis- factory terms were agreed upon. and the contract signed. The former Giant also gave an affidavit that he and received advance money from MT. Ward.
 No details of the contract were made public, but it is considered un- likely that it would call for less than the 5000 which, it is said, he was receiving from the Giants.
 Marquard's defection is supposed to have been inspired by the fact that he feared he was to be traded to an other club His record during the past season was not anything to boast of and his failure to live up to his pitching form of theNtwo previous sea- sons undoubtedly figured largely in Ina lbs of ba he nj Is
 Contrary to the affidavit. of Mar quard the Giants consider that they still have a firm hold on the Federal recruit. Secretary John B. Foster ot the Giants, in speaking of the report ed jump, said:

We have heard something about it. but we are not worrying. Marquard is bound to us under two contracts for the seasons of 1915 and 1916, and, furthermore, we have an option on his services for 1917. The first con tract is his regular baseball agree ment, which contains no ten days notice of release clause. The other is a personal contract entered into be- tween the National Exhibition Com pany and Marquard, covering the same period. This second contract was drawn up for the purpose of cov- ering any Ioopho1e that might be dis covered in the first papers.

been enlarged. The program
yesterday was "Rusticana, "Tro-
vatore," and Lucia" with CO.'S
tune changes and new scenery for
each. The program is changed
daily 1t is indeed probable that
no such company of vocal stars
has even come to Tacoma before
