The captain of the Braves took a. turn for the worse yesterday, and pr. Her Hrety announced that he had a bae attack of pneumonia
 President Ganney is doing all he can for the second baseman- Yes terday he telegraphed to Mrs Evers in Chicago and she is expected to be in the city this afternoon. On ad- vice of his physician MT.

M'VEA AND
 JIM JOHNSON
 IN POOR BOUT

New York, Dec. 11.-After the ten round bout between Sam McVea and Battling Jim Johnson at the Fair mount Athletic club last night local boxing promoters will not fall over themselves to secure these two colored heavyweights for return engage ment.
 The bout was one Of the biggest dhsappointments in the boxing line this season and showed the two men in their worst form. Mcvea tried his best, but he was opposed by man of tremendous strength and little knowledge of the boxing game, whose awkwardness was largely responsible for the poor display
 While Ahcvea, had an easy Journey to victory he utterly failed to display the cIeverness that he showed in training. Johnson failed to develop any disposition to mix matters. and even when he had openings he failed to take advantage of them.

 HANGING FIRE


 New York, Dec. 1.-The negotiations for the sale of the New York Amerl- cans to Jacob Ruppert, Jr, and Capt. T. L. Huston are still pending, and President Ban Johnson stated last night that it would be a week or ten days before anything definite was done about the matter.
 President Johnson went to Wash ington today to confer with Presi- dent Ben Minor of the Washington club on the Walter Johnson affair.
 Johnson said that the American League was going to put up a, stubborn light to get Walter Johnson back, and the Washington club will be backed by the league in it's efforts.
 At any rate, the American League will get out an injunction to restrain Johnson from playing anywhere ex- cept with the Washington club next season.
 kees, Capt. Huston stated yesterday that he represented himself in the ne- gotiationse and was just as anxious s to get part of the stock of the club as Col. Ruppert.
 It is understood that there is a hitch over the price of the club Both Farrell and Devery have placed the figure high and state that they will not sell unless they get their price As soon as President Johnson finishes his business in Washington he will go to French Lick, Ind, to visit Col. Rup- pert and 1t is expected that the deal will be consunnmated

 TO BOX WHITE FOR
 LIGHT WEIGHT TITLE

Joe Shugrue has been matched to meet Charley White in a ten-round bout at Madison Square Garden, New York December 29. The winner Of this bout will claim the American lightweight title.

 Robideau, who lives in Philadelphia, expects to depart from the Quaker City tonight in company with his trainers and camp followers He will arrive in this city tomorrow morning and will start training at the Armory Shugrue is doing his training in Wa terb lIlsg svvh ere he is very popular. In his last fight here, Shugrue was cheered by numerous sportsnen from the Brass City who came down to see the engagement.

PRINCETON RAPS HARVARD
 FOR FOOTBALL

Princeton. N. J., Dec. 11.+College &Cotban as practiSed by Harvard Yale sss1G Princeton has been receiving an 7ncessant hammering by Princeton football rnogu1s since the close of the 1914 season, and sentiment in the camp of the Orange and Black is thaa the collegiate game has reached it's crest as an amateur sport, and needs ltossbe stripped of it's commercialisn to be worthy of the attention of Ameri- cass leading universities.
 The greater part of the attack on Football has been leveI1ed at Harvard, which Princeton authorities have pointed out as the chief exponent Of eommercialism The $500, GOO in gate receipts that the Crimson team played for n it's nine games of the past sea- sen was the cause of hostile comment at. the recent banquet of Princeton alumni. and the complete scouting sys- tenn that Head Coach Percy D. HAughton of Harvard mainta1ns sI1as fadso come in for trip hammer oratory. Tn short. Harvard was indirectly pointed to as the university that is leading in making college football a big business proposition
 The Princetonian's editorial, cap- toned Over -Organiation,' is in part as follows:
 Increasing publicity has besides brought football down to the same level as professional baseball, at least sd far as the newspapers are con- carned. The sporting pages talkabout the preparatory school star and his college choice in much the same way that they discuss material in minor leagues-ard there are yelled hints Of Inducements almost as definite as those which the professional ball play CT receives.
 .sIn the long run football will suffer from this kind of advertising It may increase the crowds, but it will lower the ideals of srortsmanship which still cling to college athletics. Already proselyting in preparatory schools les created a guod deal of cynicism in the average citizen as to: the purely intel iectuaI standards of the American col- lege. So long as the practice continues the attitude will grow

 The fourth monthly smoker of the winter season was held before an en- thusiastic gathering at the Acorn A. aC. club rooms last evening" The box- ing card consisted of five bouts, each bout to terminate at the end or the fourth round.
 The first bout on the card was a four-round eetto between Eddie Kelly and Young Fox. Kelly had the bout all the way, until the middle of the third round when he fouled Young Fox Slim" Brennan, the referee. then disqualified Kelly and awarded the bout to Fox Fox knew little. if anything. about the art of boxing.
 The second was a hadr-raiser be- tween Artie Handy, the boy with the wicked left, and K. O. Brown of New York The name of Colombo would have been more appropriate than Brown, to the latter. K o. had Q peculiar style of fighting and also car- ried ain awful wallop in either hand- After the first round 1t looked as though Brown would land a sleep producer on his opponent, Handy, but after the second round had finished, Handy's terrific left began to work. The first two rounds were Browns by a wide margin, but the last two were Handy's. In the middle of the third round Handy dis1ocated his right thumb and the fans thought that his ..hick'' was gone, but he surprised them all in the final round by an un- expected outburst of speed. Handy landed several terrific right hand wall lops and followed this up with left- hand haynaaaxer to BrownIs jaw, this being the sleep-producer. K. O. Moran was slated to appear in the third round against Tommy Hawthorne, but owing to disIoca- ton of the right .knee-cap, Moran did not appear and '@Toots'' S1attery vol unteered to appear in place of the in jured opponent S1attery weighed , about 13O and Hawthorne tipped the scales at about ITO, making a total of about 40 pounds difference between the com batants, Hawthorne seemed to be out for a record and did his best to put a K. o. over on s'Toots. 2 He positively refused to be lenient | with his opponent in view of the fact that he outweighed him and thereby lost a host of friends.

 The fourth bout was to have been l between Young Bossee and Young Brown. Brown is suffering from a broken thumb and Blacksmith Mo Gahay was substituted in his place.
