FIELDER JONES TELLS
 HOW TO RULE PLAYERS

Fielder Jones has adopted some ex- cellent ideas which have had much to do with his success in the past, and by carrying out the same he hopes to l,eAs the St. Louis Federals up in the race next season. An eastern scribe, sent out to get an interview with Jones, found that Fielder does not talk much, but says lots, as the answer to his questions proved; some of Jones views follow:
 t'I didn't come back into baseball to grind any axes.
 ssI know two little of the Federal league to express my views of it as compared to the American league of 1908, when I last participated
 "Conis1ey knows the tns and outs of baseball. That's why it was easy to work for him..
 "I was tired of baseball. That S one reason I got out of it.
 "A ten-cent limit poker game isn't bad for a baseball club.
 eff the men are in the hotel play ing cards. it's better than if they were out, no telling where.
 Tobacco or beer will not hurt a man in his prime provided, of course he doesn't use, them to excess. Ciga- rettes, like dice playing, are barred.
 "A player should be in bed at II 80. That gives him time to go to a theatre get a bite to eat and return to the hotel"

AID WOLGAST HAS
 MUCH BAD FORTUNE


 Apparently life is just one case of hard luck after another with AdgWol- gast the former lightweight cham pfon- Just as the little Michigan .sIugger appears to have big things in line in the fight game something al ways turns up and robs him of his chance Back in 1911 Freddie Welsh and Wolgast were matched at Vernon. Cal.s for a real champien ship battle But right on the eve of the mill W Wolgast was stricken with appendicitis, and the bout had to be called off.
 Hardly had he gotten over this op- eration when he met Johnny Tillman a practical unknown in Hudson. Wis, and broke his right arm in the fight. Now it seems to be the same old story in the Welsh fight in New Y ork. ( Perhaps 1t wouldn't have made any difference in the result of the mill, even if Wolgast had not broken his arm again, but now it looks as if the former champion has lost whatever chance he had in winning back that worlds title.

BOXING NOTES
Bv TT g. Andrews )

Why is it that when fatality o1, any kind occurs in the ring 9 great hubbu'b is made about 1t in the papers and by others. but with fatalities in other
 lines of sport very little attention is giyen to it? Last week one of the occasional barn fights was held near Chicago and in this instance there was 2. fatal endIn TWO boys, untrainee met and one was hurt by fall, result ing fatally to the youth. The one bay who had been declared the winner Jack Lundgren by name--had gone in to the bout to get money to pay his wife's expenses for an operation at the hospital. He was greatly tick1ed to Fha=d over to his wife the $6o he got, but. was almost para1yzed with fear afterwards when he learned that his young opponent had died. It was the old story of barn fight. There were no precautions taken to guard against such things in the ring and it only tends to prove that boxing would be better off if placed under the care of a commission of the proper authori- ties However, within a few days of the time the ring fatality occurred
 there. were seven deaths of young men on. the football field, most of them in the middle west, but very little men ton was made of the same. All the football players were young men at high schools and colleges In addi- tion there were many others badly hurt. some being crippled fer HfA Way

Cambridge Maas.. Nov. B-Hssy4 yards preparation for the coming of the Tigers to the Stadium 4Saturia.v continued yesterday afternoon along the lines of the earlier part of the week, the greater part of the alter noon being spent working out the de- lenses for the Tiger plays.
 All fall Princeton has been chang ing its attack constantly, and It has been no easy matter for the scouts to keep the Crimson's second team equipped with all the playB the ter seymen have been putting on The changes in the team yesterday were to get some of the substitutes sccus- toned to working with the regulars and without handicapping the team play.
 Trunbu1 was out of the rushing and Wallace, too, and Rrad1ee did no work in the backheId.

Heved that the American League will take measures to place a. much strong CT club than the Yankees of the last few seasons have been. The support which fans gave the team when it was a hopeless tailender shows that 8 winning team would get much greater patronage.
 Although President Johnson has been in secret conferences. with the Federal League ownersAn Chicago the attitude of both Farrell and Lannin has not changed toward the new league They have gone to Chicago with the avowed intention of opposing any terms of peace which will in any way mean a financial obligation to the American League.
 It was stated some time ago that Lannin had been carrying on nego- tiatfons with the Feds on his own account.
 This yarn started because John M. Ward was a regular visitor at MT. Lannin's hotel in Garden City where John M- Ward plays golf. MT. Ward went to MT. Lannir1's hotel long lsbe- fore the Federal League started and it was through his friendship for John M. Ward that the other Wards of the Brooklyn Feds were able to obtain a box at the worlds series game at MT. Lanninss Fenway Park in Boston.

ANNIVERSARIES
 OF RING BATTLES

1860 Sam Hurst, the stalybridge Infant,1 defeated Tom Paddock in , rounds at Newburg, Eng. This was the only time in ring shistory that a fighter became champion result of his first ring battle. The Infant was an absolute novice at the game, while Paddock was veteran. Hurst's gigantic stature more than made np for the difference ir experience. and the fight lasted but a few minutes, the blow which put Paddock out frac- turing two of his ribs. As this was Hurstss first ring battle, it was also Paddock's last. He never fully re- covered from the injuries received, and died three years later At that time pugi1isn was under the ban in Eng land, and 8 select company of sports engaged a special train to take them to the country, without any definite Knowledge of where they Were goins. The ring was pitched at several places along the line, but was broken up by the police, before quiet spot was found.

should one sport be made the goat of and the other passed by almost un- noticed Accidents are bound to oc- cur in any line of sport even in tennis matches, but because they do happen once in a great while is no good ar gun1ent that the sport should be abo1- ished. Place boxing under proper con troI and the sport will be cleaner and freer from accidents than if it IS pro hibited, for it has been proven during the past hundred years that it is an impossibility to stop it.. Boxing today is one of the cleanest sports we have and deserves support instead of the continual knocking that is handed out by people who never saw boxing match.

 In order to promote clean football, Harvard and Princeton have made a, rule that severe punishment will be inflicted on any player who is guilty of unsportsmanlike tactics. It. has been agreed by representatives of the Crimson and. Tiger that any man guilty of slugging or other unneces- sary roughness in a game shall be barred from further participation in football during his college course. There have been many disqualifi- cations for rough play this year and the climax was reached when Pat terson of the Washington & Jefferson team followed an official to the dress ing room and threatened to beat him because Patterson had been ruled out of the Harvard game for sIngging.
 The American league is evidently tired of having it's New York patron age ruined by the actions of Bill Dew erey. who owns the majority of stock. in the New York Americans. The league unagnates gathered in Chicago today and it is said that. Frank Far rell and Devery will be forced to sell their New York stock. If this is done several star players will probably be traded to New York, and an effort made to give the Yankees a high class team. Regarding the predicted change
 
 Americans, President B. B. Johnson would only say that the subject would come up for discussion before the meeting adjourned and that a. transfer of the club into new hands might take place. President Johnson declined to disclose the identity of the probable new owners.
 In spite. of the war and the high cost of living, people will pay $2 to see a football game. It is estimated that the nceton-Harvard game in Cambridge Saturday will attract $75,- 900 to the box office and the Yale Princeton struggle will yield $80.0O0. All receipts will be topped by the Harvard Vale contest which is ex- pected to bring receipts-ef $140,00O.
