 New Haven, Oct. 22.---MaI scovu, the former Dartnoq1th half back, was promoted to quarter back on the Yale eleven yesterday afternoon, and Aleck Wilson is not likely to be able to play Saturday against Washington and Jefferson. Scovdl will get his bap- ttsm of fire in one of the hardest games of the season.
 Captain Talbot did not report yes- terday and will probably rest today. too. He expects to lead his team on Saturday,, although he will not prac- tice between the Notre Dame and the Washington and Jefferson games Paul Belts WAS at left tackle in his ob- sence.

HARVARD NOT
 DOWNCAST AT
 POOR SHOWING

Cambridge, Mass, Oct 22.--A1ter the close contest with Tufts last Sat urday there have been a good many pessi1nistic comments on tfe Crimson future for the year The people who say that Harvard will have little chance of success against Michigan or Princeton, forget that there were only five regulars in the Tufts game, and that one of them, TrumbG1lI, was out Of the game almost as soon as he went in with a severe cut. The other four were Coolidge, McKn1ocaxs Soucy and BradIee.
 It is not likely that Coach Haughbon will be able to use Logan or TTuabpll against Penn State Saturday, but he ought to have A1ahans HaEdwbe4zs and Pennocx by that time; and by the date of the Michigan game all Of the regu- larmen with the exception of BFiclley should be on the field Besides these ere are some new and proITlising backs in FRancke and Rollins. 5E'rancIze was tried at right half this week, and 1t seems likely that he will fit in with the inst team. Up to t1lts time he has been out Of the game with a poisoned hand. Rollins showed mp as one Of the fastest men i'm the backheld when he appeared in tIle Tufts game gained 9 good deal of ground when he was giv- en the ball because of his ability to pick the holes.
 On the whole the team has so far put up "a fine exhibition against great odds. Never in recent years at least has Harvard had such a run of bad luck and so many injuries

MARSANS MAY JOIN GIANTS
 NEXT SEASON

New York, Oct. 22-The Cuban friends of Armando Marsanss the for ner New Britain and Cincinnati out7 fielder who last spring received ad- vance money front the Feds, but sud- denly left for his home in Cuba, say that Marsans certainly will be a mem Der of the Giants next year. It is said that Marsans still owes the Feds a large sum which he received as ad- vance money, but that the New York club well could afford to make good the players indebtedness and secure him for the Giants
 Marsans is a. great outhe1der, and his acquisition certainly would strengthen the New York club. Ar rnando hit for 297 in 1913, and stole 37 bases in 118 games. The Cuban is sensational fielder, and has a great throwing arm.
 McGraw, as well as Wilbert Robin son, George StaIlings and other man agers, have long been sweet on the Cuban. and greatly deplored his flop to the Feds. Lack of diplomacy in handling the high-strung Cuban is as serted to be the reason for his Ieav- ing organized baseball.

 OF RING BATTIs1zs

1922 lliam Abbott defeated Jem Ward In 22 rounds at RGoulsey Hurst, Eng This battle was one Of the raw est fakes ever pulled off in the ring. From the first round it was evident that Ward could finish his man any time he desired, but he played with him for twenty rounds. until Abbott was mass of bloody, battered flesh. In the 28th round w ard began to hold back, and in the 22nd chapter he toppIed over from a blow that would scarcely have fattened 3. fly. It was a barefaced fraud, for while Jem pre- tended to be unconscious, it was evi- dent to all that he was only sham ming. When the spectators recovered from their ast tonishment and started toward lem the sunconscious'' pugi- list got up and boIted at a speed which proved that he was very far from be- ing disabled. Jern afterward con fessed to the fraud. and was ruled out of the ring, but he was later per m1itted to come back and achieved the championship.

The New Haven writer who started the story also stated that New London had carried more than the legal mum Der Of p1ayesr during the year.
 President OeRourlze declares such charges are groundIess. Owner Plant Of the New London club is 9 good sportsman. he stated, stand he would do nothing contrary to the best inter ests of the league The New London club carried a large number of play CTS at various times during the season, but that was because the P1anters had so many men injured Any other club had the same privilege Of putting on a substitute in place of an injured play CT. In regard to the salary limit I can only say that the New London clubs list was filed regularly with me and that it was inside the limit. I do not see why the good faith of the New London owner should be questioned any more than another nagnate.'' =

BOXING NOTES.

The past week seems to have been an unlucky one for some of the heavy- weights about the country. George Lawrence, the Australian sporting man who recently arrived in New York after tour around the world, with a California product among the light heavyweights, was hit rather hand. George is a man who will back his opinion with the real coin and he did not hesitate to back Bell against Sam Langford at Boston and to put his money on Ke1lar to beat Jim Comey, the Dublin giant Bell started in to rush matters with Lang ford, but the tar baby put over his famous right punch in the fourth round and Bell took the Mount. Bell has had a very good record and his Hsu dden defeat was a surprise to his backer and friends. Tn the case of Kel1ar 1t was different. KelIar, weigh ing under I75, met Coffey who sealed over 200, and the handicap was too. much Terry put up a. great battle, but thirty pounds was too much to give away and he lost in nine rounds. It was over -natchIng the boy. At Hudson, Wis, the pride of Minneapolis Fired FsuIton-Was put to the bad by Carl Morris, the Oklahoma giant, who looked like a house and scaled about 150 pounds. Fulton, when he did take a chance and cut loose, made Morris look anything but a white hope, but Fulton seemed to fear the big man and in the sixth round went down for the count from a couple Of rights to the face. Fulton might easily have won and made a name. for himself around the twin cities, but he lost thes chance. Tn New York Battling Le- vinsky, the hope of Dan Morgan, up- set a lot of dope by fighting Gunboat Smith ten hard rounds. Most of the papers gave Levinslxy the best of it, but looking it over from the outside, it appeared as a, good draw. This was a big victory for the Battling one, as he gave away a lot of weight to the Gunboat fighter. It places Le- whisky as a real light heavyw eight con- tender with Jack Dillon, who by the way made a big hit at Kansas City by putting up remarkable fight against Jim Flynn, the Pueblo fire, man Charley Weinert. the Brooklyn " light heavyweight, was also in the liInelight with another good battle to his credit and the chances are that he will soon be matched with Levfnsky and Dillon for the title. At present Dillon lays claim to the light heavy weight championship and he appears to have as good a. claim to it as any fighter Georges Carpenter holds the title of Europe and a. match between Dillon and the Frenchman later on will decide the worlds championship.

vETIAIAM oARRdGAN,
 s1 TODAY, SIXTH MANAGER OF THE REID sox

{
 Although William Carrigan, pilot of the Boston Americans, didn't succeed in his attempt to make the contest for the worlds flag q city seriess he gave Connie Mack a run for his money. AL so, another year is coming, and Bill has signed contract for two years tendered by President Joseph J. Lam min. " herefore, if the Braves do their part. Mr. CaTrigan confidently expects that the 1915 series will be staged exclusively In Boston Bd1l who has proved himself an able pilot as well as a star bascaxstop, will cele- brate his thtrty-d1rst birthday today, and doubtless he will receive many congratulations from the fans who share his opinion that the Athletics are due to crack next year.
 CaErigan is the sixth man to man age the Red Hosiery bunch since Bos- ton got berth in the American League in 1901. James J. Collins was the first lead CT of the Bostonians and history of the game. In 1901 he land ed the Red Sox in second place The next year they finished third, but in 1903 they hit their stride and landed the pennanf, and annexed the worlds flag in the series with the Pirates. In 1904 the Red Sox were again out in front of the American League, but there was no worlds series that year. In 1905 the Red Sox were at the bot tom of the first division, and the next year they finished ignoninfously in the cellar.
 Jim Mcclure took up the Red sox burden in 1907, but the best his men could do was to climb from the cellar into seventh place In 1908, with Nc Gufre still at the helm, the Bostons headed the second division
 McGuire was succeeded by Fred Lake, who managed the club during the 1909 season. when the Red Sox climbed into third place In 1910 Pat Donovan, who had been released by Brooklyn in 1908 and was the Red Sox scout in 1909, took charge of the club. Donovan was an experienced manager, as during his more than twenty years in big league ball he had managed the.

w S. Lacy defeated pr. w. l.. Wea- don in the tournament of the '. N c. A. tennis club which has been go ing on to find who ranks first among the minus 15 men. The scores were 7-5, 6-3, 6l2. pr. Wea.don4 is probably the greatest master of the lob stroke in the club and by beautifully placed shots mixer with his other strokes had Lacy guessing in the first set which he nearly won. He had the first set 5-1 in his favor before Lacy could get the speed and length Of his strokes under such command that the accuracy of Weaden's lobs was made impossible. Here Lacy ree1ed off six games straight for the first set. This was the hardest fought set Of the match although Weadon made Lacy fight. all the way for the decision But by sharper cross court shots or drives with good speed to the back lines Lacy kept control of the match 4oi the end.
 Dr. R. Warren Hall, who is both city and Y. M. c. A. champion, is the ranking player of the Y M C. A. club with + B. Hawley his closest rival Both these men haI1di dicapped at minus 30.
