ONE GIANT GOT
 WORLDS SERIES COIN

It has been officially reported and confirmed by this time that the Giants received no part of the worlds series booty, yet there is one player who was a member of McGrawss club at the beginning of the season who was paid a. full share.
 The name of this player does not appear among the list of ehgtPles of either the Braves or the Athletics, and as a matter of fact he received his worlds series money way back in the spring of the year. Claude Cooper, Cooper, of the Brooklyn FAederals was the lucky man. Robert M Ward of fered the outfeIder a tempting con- tract, and Cooper was just about to accept when he was suddenly seized
 Hold on,,. Said the player, .'how about my worlds series money7 You know the Giants are sure to get in on that.''

Hans Wagner and Fcrving Kantle11- ner recently went on a little angling 5aunt in the netghborhood of Erte, Pa They caught several fine messes of fish and had a. heap or sport. The Flying DsEtchman was recognized one morn ing by a stranger who was also armed with line and tackle. The straus9sr called the famous shortstop aside and said:
 MT.

We can go Ghere and nobody will know anything about 1t. I've read all about you and I know you like to catch the best kind of fish
 That was enough for Hans who threw open his coat and displayed a badge, showing him to be one of Gov ernor TenerSs state fish commissioners The badge was a plenty for the strange who made a dash for parts unknown Hans did not care to in5ure his leg. which is just recovering from charley-horse, so he gave up che idea. of chasing the fugitive, but he has a fine description.

BOXING NOTES.

For a ligfatweight who has been box ing as a professional about a year, Fred Kay the Australian 133 po1nders must be a wonder indeed. Not con- tent with winning a point decision ov- CT MiIburn Say1or twice, the rangy Kay tackled Joe Shugrue, the tough and clever New York lightweight, at Snowy Bakers stadium in Sydney just before the last mall boat left that port and stranger still, he won the contest by a good margin of points according to the referee and ether critics Kay has been boxing only two years-tf1e first as an anateur. Ills remarkable size makes him appear as a. freak. The boy stands 5 feet 10 Ia inches and has a reach of 74 1-2 inches which is almost unheard of for a lightweight. He is only 2S years of age and no doubt will develop into a. nniddleweight before long. He first gained prominence when he defeated lightweight, following Up with two wins over SayIor. The Sydney referee writes of the match between Kay and 1 Shugrue, says:
 able of landing a powerful punch, meet in the ring, the boxers art is usually seen at it's best And so 1t was on Saturday night at the Rushcutters Bay Stadium, when a very fine crowd. considering the times. were delighted l 1 they have rarely seen.''
 ...The Kay-Shugrue must rank as one of the best ever decided at the 1 Stadium. Several competent Judges in- 1 cluding many boxers of note re- marked after the contest that Kay proved himself to be the cIeverest
 man that ever graced the boards of
 the world-famed arena, where many
 of the worlds best have figured. To 1 defeat Shugrue points, he of course must be among the topnotchers 1 now e1annoring for the crown of light weight champion, worn by Freddie
 Welsh for Shugrue was regarded in
 America as Willie Ritchie's most | dreaded rival. Rays footworks is won
 derful. his duelzing of the same class l and his defensive tactics with the gloves are very fine. At infighting he is not yet so dangerous and expert as
 some of his rivals, but is quite enough to evade a good deal of the close
 work men who favor that method of
 boxing adopt at every opportunity.
 What makes the latest performance
 of Kay so good Is that shugrue's clev-
 erness and pace were mope noticeable perhaps on Saturday night than in
 any other contest he has had in Aus
 ralia. It was a beautiful battle and
 one of the best features was the heavy

SALE OF THE YANKEES AND CUBS TO BE SETTLED SOON
Federal Promoters Will Buy Fran chises In Order To End Base
 ball War

That the proposed sale of the New York American League club to the Wards, the purchase of the Ch1cag Nationals by Charles Weeghman and a revamp4ng Of the circuits of the In formation League and American Ae- soeiatfong have been under adviseInent Isdnce September Is was further sub stantiated yesterday.
 It also was learned that the sale of the Cubs to Weeghnan practically had been agreed upon and that only for the Devery- Farrell Foley interests holding out on the sale of the High landers the Cub sale would have been consurnmated last week Before the year Is out the Wards almost certainly will be in possession of the New York American League franchise. The war may be settled before January 1. and 1t would not be surprising to see tn e announc of the biggest baseball transaction in years made soon after the Federal League meeting, which will be held in the Hotel Biltmore, New York, on Friday.
 Having both organized baseball and the Federal League on the hip, the owners of the High1anders are said for the club, knowing that both slae outlaws demand the acquisition of the HghIanders and that the settlement of the war that already has ra3aged the American, National and Federal Leagues and put several minor leagues out of commission depends on Ward and Weeghman being taken into the fold. ,
 It Is only natural that under the present state of affairs wholesale de-

HARVARD MAKES
 CHANGES IN TEAM

Cambridge. Mass, Oct 21-The liar ward varsity squad spent an hour yesterday. playing against six Can addan rugby players, and many Of the shifty plays to which they have been accustomed were demonstrated
 The backdeld consisted of substi- tutes as Coach Haughton is going to keep the first string men in good trim for the Michigan game.
 Francke. one of Harva,rd's most promising subs for the backheld, was given a tryout and it is expected that he will star in next Saturdays game with Penn State. Ernie soncy, who has been playing center throughout the season, was ordered to end in place of Weafherhead and by this change it Is said that Hardwyck Gwho filled this position until BrickIeya was taken i1l) will remain in the basckf1eld the rest of the season.
 Brad Wallace, the substitute, who played in the back field until two weeks ago, will fill soucy's boots at l center. It is not certain whether these men will play these posi- tions on Saturday, as Coach Haughton was shifting the men from one position to another throughout the afternoon

.LANGFORD KNOCKS
 SMITH OUT IN 3RD

Boston, Oct. a.---san L4angford. the co1ored demon, knocked out Gunboat Smith in 6Ele third round of their scheduled twe1vexroa1nd bout at the Arena here last night. A right and left hook to the. jaw sent Smith down for the fatal item after two minutes of ighting in this round.
 Gangford scored two skrockdowns previous to the knockout. In the first he sent Smith to the canvas for ~sev- en- with a short left jolt to the jaw. Tn the second round right swing to the chin toppled over Smith for a count Of eight
 Smith absorbed terrific body pun ishment during the short mill. Sev- eral times Langfond made the Gum boat double up like. a jaclxknife with a series of short blows to the body. Langford staggered Smith with the first punch of the fight, a right hook, and Smith never had a chance there after.

nia1s of the prospective salas be made on all sides. Seeking a tremendous sum for the sale of the Highland CTS, it would not do for the Dewery- Farreu-F'oley interests to show any willingness or desire to dispose of the club. with a big hole already staved in their bank rolls and the necessity of further helping and protecting their Federal League confreres, the Wards must feel their way and cover up as much as possible the fact that their the Highlanders, and pave the way for 8 possible 1essening of what anyway, will be a huge expenditure
 With the exception of reiter ating his denial of the New York Americans being on the market, President Far re11 of the Highlanders had nothing further to say yesterday. Neither of the Ward brothers cared to talk on the matter further than to say that it long had been their desire to own a major league club, and that if a reasonable price be set on the High flanders they would purchase the club
 In all probability organized baseball would be willing to make many con- sessions if an arnicable settlement of the present baseball war could be ar rived at Quite g. few clubs in both the American and National Leagues

MARSANS CASE TO
 BE THRESHED OUT

St. Louis, Oct. 21-One Of the first sIzirnishes to be fought in the legal wrang1e between organized baseball and the Feds this fall will involve the St. Louis Feds and Armando MarSans, the Cuban star, who jumped Cincin- nati last June. Marsans played three games in a Fed uniform before he was rUped, thrown and tied by an in junction Iariat, wie1ded by Cinc1n- natf.
 The Marsans case is to have hear ing soon, probably next week The case likely will be tried in St. Louis, as it was the wish of the Cincinnati club to go to trial immediately after the worlds Series. Since he was enjofned from playing with the St. Louis Feds, Marsans has received his pay checks on the 1st and 18th of each month from the St. Louis club. Each check calls for $500, his salary being $6,0O0 for the season
 The Cincinnati club has given bond to- assume this obligation in case the Cuban ultimately is awarded to St. Louis. That means that Cincinnati will pay over to St. Louis $4,5o0 if the local club is successful in it's attempt ito permanently acquire Marsan's ser vices.
 If the case is decided against the local club, Marsans will quit baseball and continue to draw his salary from the St. Louis club, according to his own admission to his friends in this city. He makes the claim that he has fulfilled his terms on the con- tract and cannot lose either way
