VICTOR MATCHED
TO MEET M'VE|GH
One Time Promising Light
weight Decides to Re-enter
Ring.

Carl Victor. who at one time was
rated as the most promising light
weight in this vicinity, has decided
to re-enter the ring. Carl has been
matched to meet Jimmy McVeigh in
the main four-round bout at the Bay
View Wheelmen Club December 1S.
McVeigh was to have boxed
Irish Mahon, but Victor was OBJ
tsined to take the place of Mahon.
Victor, two years ago, was a clever
performer of the squared circle. He
boxed often, and to each opponent
he administered a decisive drubbing.
He was then matched with Young
Gradwell. of this city, for ten rounds
in New York. Carl wes beaten, and
since then he has been idle The de-
feat seemed to take the heart out
of Victor. Victor has a hard punch
and is remarkably clever. He is
again under the management of
Billy Proctor. and has already
started training for the fray with
McVeigh

NATIONAL TO WIND
UP MEETING TODAY
Many RnmOrs, but Little Real
Business Transacted in
New York.

A resolution designed to aid
weaker teams in the circuit by pro-
posing that hereafter club cannot
withdraw waivers on players once
they have been asked was one of the
few questions that remained to be
acted upon today by the club owners
of the National League, in annual
session In New York. 1t is expected
that the resolution will be adopted.
Interest in American League affairs
today centred about the negotiations
for the sale of the New York Club
to Colonel Jacob Rupert, jr. Presi-
dent Johnson, who had been con-
Quoting the negotiations, said last
night that the deal was still a pos
sibility, and this has given rise to
reports that a compromise over the
purchase price had been effected.
Collins Deal Involved $4,000.
Eddie Collins, second baseman. was
bought from the Philadelphia Club of
the American League by President
Comiskey, of the Chicago Club, in
strictly cash transaction, it has been
learned, after Comiskey returned
from New York. He said the deal
involved at least $1,000 including
Collinss salary for five years. OF
this $50,00e is given as the purchase
price.
1t had been said that Comiskey
would trade the Philadelphia Club
two players and some cash for Col
Inns, and that the players contract
made him manager of the Chicago
Americans. These reports, Comiskey
said, were incorrect The contract
provides that Collins shall be cap
tain.

Stallings VS.. FOgarty on
Baseball in Jersey City

George Stallings, the man who does
impossible things, Is the only base
ball celebrity at the New York con-
clave who believes Jersey City could
be resurrected and made into a live
baseball city. George says that If he
had the team he would get live ball
players, build park near the tube
and then win q pennant. George is
not free to do these things, SO Jersey
city will have to go without It's due
recognition, IL what StallingS says
is true.
On the other hand, Thomas Fogarty,
who has tested and tasted defeat in
Jersey City, says that the city will
never be a big baseball burg. ''The
men who attend games," says Fog
arty, ''have their offices In New York,
and when they take a day off they do
not go to see Jersey City, but jump
up to- the Polo Grounds, or even to
Brooklyn rather than come back to
Jersey City, even though it is their
home town.

HAL HE|LAND MAY
GIVE UP ATHLETICS
Local Runner Will Be Satisfied
to Retire After Annex
ing a Title.

Hal Holland. the local runner. is
seriously thinking Of giving up ath-
letics after the winter season of in
door meets. Heiland will compete
tonight at Elizabeth and will be seen
In the Bronx Church House games
in New York Saturday night. The
local sprinter is desirous of hanging
up a record in the 300-yard dash.
Then, he says, he will be satisfied to
retire from the running game for
good and all. Recently he resigned
as a member of the Xavier Club, of
New York, and is now running un-
attached. 1t is the intention of Hci-
land to run in as many meets as
possible during the winter months.
Heiland would Ike to annex a title
of some kind before giving up ath-
letics, and from his showing of late
he appears to have an excellent
chance. Sprinters of the first calibre
are not breaking any records these
days here in the East. and 1t Is just
possible that this season may prove
a banner one for the Newark athlete.

According to Mulvey the track is
going TO be a model of perfection in
track building. and If new sixty
hour record is not established Il will
not be his fault. There will be
triple radius to the turns instead of
a single radius, and Mulvey, who
manages ex-Mayor Riordan's base
ball team in Harrison in the summer
time, says there is as much difference
between a single and triple radius
on the bike track as there is between
a single and a triple on the baseball
diamond, and the ratio of satisfac-
ton is the same also. Whatever this
triple radius thing is no one but
Mulvey seems to know, but Lanky
Bob Spears, who performs on the lit
tie tracks very much like a barrel
going through the whirlpool rapids Of
Niagara, is banking everything on the
triple radius, and if it does not prove
a success Pat will use good judgment
by remaining within the Joyous con-
fines of Harrison until Laniy Bob
goes West with MaeFarland's cir
cuit-chasers.

Although the South Orange High
School team went down to defeat
yesterday before. the Dickinson High
School team of Jersey City by a

tet gave It's Hudson county rivals

Last chanos for MoYex.

Colored heavyweights will meet in
the main bout tonight at the Fair
mount A. c., New York, when Sam
McVey and Battling Jim Johnson
will exchange punches. Battling Jim
is one of the many aspirants for
the heavyweight title. McYey comes
back to New York after an absence
of seven years. Most of this time
he boxed all comers in Australia and
Europe. He came to New York to

IMPORTANT GAME
FOR SCHOOL TEAMS
Rutherford High and East Or.
ange in Basketball Clash
Tomorrow.
CLOSE CONTEST LIKELY

One OF the important early season
games of basketball IS looked for to-
morrow afternoon when the Fast
Orange and Rutherford High School
teams come together on the East
Orange court. The East Orange team
is not as strong az last year, al
though the coaches hope that the
players will develop. The material
is there without a doubt. but whether
the team viii be able to ward Of
the strong Montclair quintet in tho
New Jersey Interseholastic League
is a question. East Orange has been
considerably weakened by the loss
Of Fisher and Brentano. This pair
who graduated. were stars On the
court and helped materially IN land
ing the championship of the New
Jersey Interseholastic League last
year.
Stanley Doggett has been filing IN
Fishers place at centre and with
little more practice will probably get
down to form. Last year Doggett
played with the second team for part
Of the season and later on played
with the varsity. Fitzsfmmons. June
Johnson, Thistle, Roper and Meetee1
and probably full line OF substi
tutes viii be sent in against Ruther-
ford tomorrow.
Rutherford viii invade East Or
snge with every intention OF putting
the East Orange players to rout, ac-
cording TO reports eminating from
the Bergen County school. The
chances are that the game viii be
close one. In Andy Hillhouse and
Jack Whitehill, Rutherford has 4
pair of players who are hard Il
handle when under way. Both boys
are tall and heavy and are very fast
players.

Drobach is the most cold-footed

nit yesterday. In fact, he confessed
that he always considered himself the
worst six-day rider in the game, and
Pete was highly pleased to hear Mac
Fariand say he Is rated higher than
Moran by the manager. After his
great finish in the recent New York
race, Drobach should fear no one in
a six day race. In the last half hour
of that memorable race ne rode some
of the greatest riders who ever wealth
cred a six-day race off their feet, and
had he started his sprints from the
front in the first half hour the team
of Lawson and Drobach would un-
doubtedly have won the bike race
Grenda was baked to a fraEzle and
scored points entirely by good head
work, combined with rough riding,

would probably have been on the field
