WILL ENJOIN
 MACEE FROM
 JUMPING TEAM

New York, Nov. 2s-sLee Magee will never play ! 8 game with the Broolkfeds,,, is the statement made by Garry Hermann. chairman of the Garry, Magees had not a chance for a. kick last season, as he drew down $7,50O for six months work, and will never be permitted to break his St. Louis contract.
 Lees salary was $6.00O, which was increased to ST, 200 by reason of the Cards finishing in third place. As is, generally known, Owner Britton paid his men on the bonus plan, the high CT they finished, the more the Cards received. Magee also took $250 as his share of the fall series with the Browns when he helped the Cards lose to the Rickeys, bringing his in come for the season to $7.450.
 Magee signed a two-year contract with the Cards last March, during the made scramble between O. B. and the Feds to land the returning players of the CoInisk skey-McGraw worlds tour ists. Magee had several conferences with the Feds, but finally signed up with Britton, on being assured that he would be traded to the Giants.
 His contract contained the ten-day clause, and Magee bases his claim to righteousness on the Hal Chase case, which was decided in Chi1de Haro1ds s favor by a Buffalo justice, who ruled the white Sox contract, with the ten day clause. was inequitable, and there fore rot binding.
 On the other hand. Hermann points that Magee has. not 8 leg to stand on. Garry says that where Chase signed one of the old form contracts, Magee, last March, affixed his signature to a new 1914 contract, which has stood the acid test in every court. where it came up. tMarsans' contract was the same as Magee's, and the higher courts held that it was valid'' said Hermann.

DICKSON TO COACH PENN
 IN FOOTBALL

Philadelphia, Nov. 28.-With the Pennsylvania football season over, it is pretty certain that Geopge Brooke's days as head coach are over- By Dickson will very likely be given charge of the squad next season. as 1t was largely through his coaching and that of Captain Journeay that the team was put into condition for the Cornell game, and that it did so well against the Ithacans.
 What has happened to Penn in rAe bdg games of the last two years fur of the might of the Red and Blue in sport where once it's game was na- tional.
 Tn two years under the present coaching regime, Penn has played SIX big games and has lost all six NO other college has done so badly In the same interval
 The Pennsy team that was defeated Thursday was at least game. It was overnatched, but it did not quit The contest was never permitted to De- come a disgracefuI rout like the Dart

 Against a powerful team that had solidity in the line, speed in the back Held, marvellous skill on the ends, great bunting and an attack varied between end runs, line plunges1 and forward passes. Penn had nothing to offer. but Avery and his forward passes.

GALLANT DESERVES CREDIT FOR. DEFEATING
 LEACH GROSS TWICE
(Bv T Isl Anarawa.l

Milwaukee, Wis, Nov. 2S-Gilbert Gallant the Boston lightweight, has accomplished what many boxers would be proud of-beating Leach Cross twice within a couple of months but he seems to be getting little credit for the same. This same lad Gallant-has been fighting in tip-top form the past eight months, going against the toughest Hghtweights in the sbusin ess; and he seems, to be headed toward the top.
 His manager Alex Mclean, has been nursing him along for quite time and now he is coming into his own Gallant has proven himself a real lighter and he is entitled to a bout with the stars of that division.
 Another lightweight that is p1od- ding along and coming to the front is Joe Yelling, the Chicago boy who went to Australia with Jimmy C1abby and Larney Lichtenstein Larney thinks that Joe will be fighting for the lightweight championship within a year. He is built for 8 fighter, but the trouble is that he may outgrow the division before he gets to the top. J oe made a fine showing against high class boys in Australia, even though he did not win, and his continual training with Clabby is putting on the fine points needed to polish off his work He has an unusually long reach for a lightweight and he knows how to hit with either hand If he can remain lightweight for any length of time there is no doubt but that he will make good.
 There seems to be mix-up some where in the stories being sent out regarding the Jess Willard-Jack John son fight in Cuba. Cables have been received stating that the Johnson Willard match is set for March 17th in Cuba or Mexico, while New York press reports say that Johnson has agreed to meet Sam McVey in Cuba during March
 It>is a cinch that the gate receipts in Cuba will never amount to enough to pay Johnson $3O,000 for his end, and if they draw $30s00O all told they will be fortunate. In Juarex, Mexico it is different as there will be many towns to draw from thereabouts. be- sides drawing from points in Colo rado and the southwest. It is good bet that. Willard will be the one to meet Johnson in Mexico.

THREE BASKETBALL
 GAMES AT ST. PAUL'S

Three games of basketball were played last night in the St. PauIs parish house on Beach street, and all were extremely interesting The games were between. the Burroughs and Mercerss Pets; Park Street church and the O1ivets; the Barnum and the Cardinals. Tn the game be- tween the Burroughs and the Mercer's s Pets, the score was kept close during the first half while in tI4e second half, the Burroughs seemed to weaken which fact won for the Pets, a good lead, the final score being 28-16 in favor of the Pets. The esCardina1-Bar- mum game was probably the most in teresting one that has ever been play ed in tAat hall. The score was kept tied during both halves and five min utes overtime was allowed. The game was however, forfeited to the Cardi- naIs. The Olivet-Park Street. church game ended with a score of 25-7 in favor of the latter.
 Following the games an orchestra gave several selections while those present indu1ged in dancing.

ANNIVERSARIES
 OF RING BATTLES

19o1-Young Corbett knocked out Terry McGovern in End, round at Hartford. This was one of the great est surprise parties in the history of the American ring. Terrible Terry who had Knocked out England's pride, Pedlar Palmer, in less than a round couple of years before, was thought to be invincib1e. Young Corbett, a na- tive of Denver, had made quite a rep utation in Colorado and the West, but he was practically unknown in the East until he journeyed toN the Connecticut capital to try to take the Irisher's title away from him. When Terry awakened from that terrible punch he couldn't believe it was true that he had lost. After whipping Dave Sullivan at Louisville, Terry and Young Corbett were again matched in 1903, at San Francisco, and this time McGovern was knocked out in the 11th chapter. McGovern quit. the ring in 1908, and Young Corbett fought his last ring battle in 1910, when he was knocked out by Willie Beecher. x
 189s-Kd Broad defeated Dave Sullivan in 25 rounds at New York.
 19O3-Billy Ryan defeated Eddie Santry in 16 rounds at Toronto.

 Jack Dempsey was the next light weight champion, winning the title by defeating George F. Gul11ames, a Can adian, and other good men, and was succeeded by Jack MeAuldfe. Jacks principal battles were fought with Bill Frazier at Boston, Harry Gilmore att Lawrence, Mass; Sam Collyers >-an Carroll, at San Francisco and Billy Myer at New Orleans.
 When McAuhfe retired uzdefeated Kid Lavigne of Saginaw, Mich, claim ed the title. and fought Andy Bowen at New Orleans, Dick Burge at Lon don, Jack Everhardt at New York and Ffs McPartIand, also at New York. Lavigne lost his title to Frank Erne in a battle at Buffalo. The next bat tie in which the lightweight title changed owners was staged on Cana dian soil, at Fort Erie, across the riv- Ir 9Tr,ea ed out Fsrne in the first round.
 Afew months later, when Cans re- fused to make the 133-pound weight, Erne again claimed the title, and was challenged by Jimmy Britt, of San Francisco This was the first of a battles pulled off in California After whipping Erne in seven rounds at San Francisco, Britt defended his honors against Young Corbett, Battling Nel- son, Jabez White, Kid Sullivan, and others, all of these affairs being stag ed in the Pacific coast metropolis. Tn 1905. at Colma, Battling Nelson knock ed out Britt, and claimed the light weight Iaurels.-
 The famous forty-two round battle between Cans and Nelson, in which the former was victorious, was staged in Nevada Cans then defended his title against Jimmy Britt at San Fran cisco and George Memsie in Los An geIes. before he was put away by Nel- son, at San.

CHANGES IN
 BASKETBALL
 REGULATIONS

New York, Nov. 2S-At conference of basket ball. coaches and off cia1s, held at the Hotel Astor, New York, yesterday, the intercollegiate basket. ball rules were discussed and the meaning of many of the rules. on which a difference of opinion existed, was made clear.
 Prominent basketball coaches from east and west were present and they desired a uniform interpretation of the rules. The officials present want ed to get the consensus of opinion of the conference so that in officiating at games a uniform system of calling fouls could be used. ~
 The most important matter discuss ed was the latitude allowed a man dribbhng the ball. Complaint was made that officials varied considerably, on this point and, after an exhaustive study of the subject, it was decided that tae spirit of the rules meant that in case man drfbbling the ball runs into or falls to avoid a guard stand ing to block his progress, foul is committed by the dribbler. The members of the rules committee stated that their idea was to encour- age the passing game in place of. dribbling, and for the past three or four years they had this object in view in framing the rules. It was decided that a guard in order to be the aggressor. in case of dr1bbling would have to charge into the drib- bier.
 Another important question brought up was the system of timing the game. Frequent disagreement over watches were recited and the conference de cided that the best practical way of avoiding trouble in this phase of the game was to have one watch with two timers and in case of difference be- tween the two, the referees ruling was 10 he supreme

 sf Last year the Army and Navy each succeeded in placinN a player on the team considered by football follow CTS in general, to be the nearest ap- proach team official eleven Brown of the Cadets team was placed at right guard and Meri1lat of the Mid dies at right end. This brought the total up, to ten for the period extend ing from 1901 to 1913. Bunker the Any's right tackle and Daly quarter back in 19O1f were the first service team. Daly had, however. made the teams of 1898 and 1899 while playing quarter for Harvard.
 In 1902 the Cadets were again rep resented by Bunker, who was placed at right halfback in that year Two years later the Armys famous cen ter Tfpton was the unanimous choice of the experts for the position of pas ser back of the ball. Three years elapsed before an academy player was again mentioned and then the Navy placed Dague, left end of the 1907 combination. on the eleven while Err win, the Army's right guard was also named. It was not until 1911 that the Service football men made the a1I- American team again. In that year the two academies divided honors, Devore of the Cadets being at right tackle and Dalton of the Navy at fu1l- back. As a result the count stands at present. Army ', Navy 3.
