WILL KID WILLIAMS AGREE TO MAKE 116
 FOR ERTLE MATCH?

Will Johnny CKid1 Williams, bantam weight Champion of the world, agree to make 116 pounds ringside for a title. match and side bet with Johnny
 Young9 Ertle, the St Paul youngster. who has sprung into prominence through his matches about the middle west the past two months?
 Mike McNu1ty, who halls from the home of Mike Gibbons, is sincere in his effort to get a title match with Kid Williams and he is willing that the match be made for the marathon dis tance, naming New Orleans as the place to hold it, that being about the only location where a real title match could be held just now.
 s'It is not case of looking for mo- toriety," said Mike the other day af- ter Johnny had trimmed Artie Arm strong of Chicago in a ten round bout, ssbut simply the belief of Ei and myself that the little fellow is the best bantam in the country today at the legitimate weight limit. I know Will Hams is a grand little fighter and credit to the game, but do not be-
 ieve he can make the weight and beat my boy. If he can why he can have a side bet of $1 1000, which I will put up at any time, and split the purse~any way he wishes. That should prove that we are not after any short ends just Ito get a match. Ertfe can make 110 pounds ringsfde and be at his best but he can also build Up to liz and then give away a few pounds. He is one of the greatest natural fighters I ever saw and think that all the boxing fans who have seen hiIp will agree with me. We are after John ny Cou1on for a match first, but John ny. in my opinion. will not box the youngster. If he will make a match why we are ready for him at any time, but Coulon is a pretty wise boy and will not run into a, buzz-saw. We would prefer to meet .Coulon first. If Johnny will not re-enter the ring why then MT. Williams is the boy we want. If he cannot make the weight why let him admit the same and advance into the featherweight class. where he would belong and fight Johnny Kill bane for the championship and we will take care of the bantans. My money l is ready and they say money talks. ] If we can make a match all I ask is that Williams put up Q forfeit of at least $1 ,00O to make the weight-116 :, ringside-and we will do likewise. the
 forfeit to go as 9 side bet if desir- ed.''
 Ertle has had three fights recently around the middle west and his show
 ing has been something wonderful He 1 is one of the greatest little fighters de- ve1oped since the days of Jimmy Bar

DONOVAN TO PILOT. TANKS
 REPORT SAYS

Chicago, Dec 22-A man who Pres ident Ban B. Johnson, of the Ameri- can League, says is a wonder as a team leader has been selected as manager of the New York clubs the purchase of which was expected to be completed here today. Col. Jacob Ruppert, IT,, and Captain T. l.. Illus ton, the prospective purchasers of the New York Club, had been prevailed upon to accept the manager President Johnson selected, it was learned today after Huhgey Jennings, leader of the Detroit club. had declined the offer to manage the Yankees.
 Everybody is satisfied President Johnson said, land hope to make an announcement, possibly before to- night. that the deal has been closed. The league has agreed to aid Messrs. Ruppert and Huston bolster up the club which I can safely say will be the strongest that has presented New York in the American league in many years. The team we propose to estab- fish there should be a pennant con- tender from the start-'
 The identity of the new leader of the New York club was carefully con- ceaIed but the opinion was expressed by many baseball men that Wild Bd11'' Donovan, a former star pitcher with the Detroit club. was the selec- tion. It was said that Joseph J. Ian min, owner of the Boston Americans, who also controls the Providence club, winner of the 1914 International league flag, had consented to part with Donovan who pi1oted the Proyi- dence club to championship.

YALE BASKETBALL TEAM WINS FROM
 FORDHAM EASILY

New York. Dec. 22.-Yale's basket ball team defeated the Fiordham five in the Twelfth regiment armory last night by a score of 43 to 23. The game was fast, both teams fighting hard and cleanly all the way. Fordham S chances were crippled before the con test ,w1len it was announced that Bill Kealeher. the star of the Maroon com bination, would be unable to play on account of a threatened attack of ty- phoid fever.
 The first half ended with the score 20 to IA in favor Of Yale, and then the superior ability and condition of the visitors enabled them to forge far in the lead The Blue five used the pass ing game to scoring advantage. while the Maroon players displayed a, dis couraging and costly tendency to at tempt long baskets.

CAMERON PLANNING BIG CHANGES IN
 NEW HAVEN .CL-u L-uB

New Haven, Dec. 22-Encouraging reports are being received here daily .concerning the condition of George Cameron, owner of the New Haven baseball club, who is confined to the Mercy hospital in Chicago. Cameron,s recent attack Of ptomaine poisoning necessftated a postponement of the operation which Dr. Murphy was about ready to perform. It is expect ed that the p1ucky little magnate will be about ready to go under the knife immediately after the holidays. If the operation proves successful there is little doubt but what Cameron will be able to start east before the base ball campaign for 1915 gets under way.
 Cameron has not made known his plans for next season as yet but it is understood that several radical changes will be made. Cameron sored on several of the players for their burlesque exhibition with Wa terbury in the final game of the sea- son here and plans to rid the club of some of the disturbing element. He realizes that practically a new team is needed to place New Haven in the running and it will be interesting to see what action is taken in that direc- ton.

l.OBERT NOT
 ABLE TO COME
 TO FED TERMS

Chicago, Dec 22-Hans Lobert. third baseman of the Philadelphia INati ionals, arrived here yesterday from St Louis and conferred with James Gilmore, president of the F'edz -eraI League; Charles " Weeghman, president of the Chicago Federals, and Phil Ball, vice president of the St. Louis Federals. It was expected that before the end of the conference. Lo- bert would sign a contract to play with the St. Louis FederaIs.
 After discussing the situation for some time Gilmore left the confer enee and it was announced that he had started for Buffalo. Lobert and Weeghman continued the conference, but had not reached an agreement.
 Weeghnan announced after the conference that he had placed the Johnson case into the hands of his counsel.
 Walter Johnson will play with the Chicago F'edera1s next year or not at all, said Weeghman. ''I have laid the cases before counsel and we will light it to the United States Supreme Court before we will give up. The highest legal talent in the country has declared. that our contract with Johnson is binding and we will cer- tain1y enforce it to the limit of our abi1ity.''

TORONTO OUT OF FED LEAGUE
 UNTIL 1916

Toronto, Dec. 22-President James Gilmore of the Federal League paid hurried and mysterious visit to Toron-- to yesterday afternoon. Before leav- ing for Chicago he made the stata-. ment that Toronto sSyouId be a mem- Der of the Federal League circuit in 1916. He further stated that the Fed erals are now busily engaged in pre- pairing for the fight which it is pro- posed to wage for the services of Wal ter Johnson the Washington Ameri- can pitcher, who signed a Federal League contract and afterward jump ed back to the Washington club.
 can see that conditions in Tor onto are more or less unsettled owing to the part taken by Canada and the rest of the British Empire in the Euro pean war" said Gilmore.
 tsWe think that it would not be ad- visable to place a team in this city in 1915 Our circuit is not as com pact as we would desire and Toronto offers the solution of the difficulty Were conditions normal we would assuredly place a team here next sea- son. Ample backing has been offer ed us here.''
 After the departure of the Federal president it was learned that a pow erfuI local corporation had offered to supply plenty of backing for the league in this city.

ANNIVERSARIES
 OF RING BATTLES

1800AJem Belcher defeated An- drew Gamble in rounds at Wirnb1e- don Common, Eng. Gamble was a brawny Irishman. a native of Dub lin, and at the time of his battle with Be1cher was the champion of Ireland. He had been introduced to the Eng fish ring by the Earl of Tyrconnel, an Irish noble In his first big bout he whipped Noah James, an army cham pfon, so sound1y that it. was feared for a time that the soldier -pugilist would die of his injuRies. BeIcher, then the best fighting man of Eng land, was a different prop osftion, and his science and skill soon triumphed over the brute strength of the Hiber-. nian. The ring was pitched within sight of gibbet where hung the grim skeleton of Jerry Abershaw. a notori- ous highwayman. Mobiles by hun dreds. and even .. future king of Eng Iand witnessed the fight, which lasted only seven minutes. The Irish sports backed Gamble heavily, and some of them, furious at losing their coin. ac- cused Gamble of throwing the fight

IMPERsONATOR OF MILLER HIGGINS
 GOT S15 LOAN
(sporting News4

War, even baseball war, has it's humorous incidents and a story told in Chicago. not only furnishes a laugh. but also an interesting sideligft on Charley WeeghmaI's lack of insight into what he really is up against Weeghman is the chief packer of the Chicago F'ederals. Interested people have led him into the game to their own profit and some of the things they have put over on him smack of sharp practices, but none of them has yet pulled quite as good a. stunt as some petty grafter down in Indiana which is Weeghman's home state, by the way.
 The other night man, who said he was Miller Huggins, 'phoned Weeghnnan from Terre Haute He said he was en route from Cincinnati to Chicago to talk terms with the Feds. but that his pocketbook had been lifted and he was stranded ,Weeghman wired the supposed Hug gins $15, with which he was to come on to Chicago and talk terms
 t'Huggins' never showed up MT Weeghmap learned that the real Mil Ter Huggins, manager Of the St. Louis Cardinals. was in Cincinnati, busy with plans for winning a. National League pennant next year.
 s'It dawns on me that have been made a goat by somebody said Mr. while to take a chance that the man who te1ephoned me might be Miller Huggfns."
 And the same day MT. Weeghnan took a chance on signing Jimmy Archer, who has a contract with the Chicago Cubs that does not contain a ten-day clause.

TROY FIVE ANXIOUS
 TO DEFEAT RIBBONS AGAIN HERE TONIGHT

The Troy basketball team, which gave the Blue Ribbons beating re- gently will appear here tonight to re- new acquaintances with the locals. It is. expected that Colonial hall will be packed with enthusiasts who desire to see whether the Ribbons can come back. Manager Leavy has signed Reichsto play forward in Slows place and Beckman, who was on the fn- Jured list, will be on deck again.
 The Troy players have a. great pass ing aggregation. They also take ad- vantage of their chances to shoot, a department in which the Ribbons are weak. It is expected, however, that Roach and Swenson, the Ribbon guards, will be able to break up the Troy passing. There will be preImi- nary between the C1overs and Singers and dancing will follow the big game.

WHY NEW HAVEN
 SOCCER TEAM DID
 NOT APPEAR HERE
(rJew Haven JournaI-Courier.)

(Iew Haven JournaI-Courier.)
 Manager George F. Montgomery of the New Haven soccer team writes and tells the reason for his team s failure to put in an appearance at Bridgeport on Sunday. His letter is self-exp1anatory and reads as fol- lotts:
 If you will allow little space in your valuable paper I would like to reply to an article that was pub hshed, in your paper regarding the New Haven soccer team falling to travel to Bridgeport to play that city a game. I might say that the New Haven team did not have a game on that date, Dec. 20, 1914, as on their league schedule it shows an open date and the Naugatuck team should have come to New Haven to play a game that was postponed from Novemb Der 15, on account of rain. It looks very much like as if somebody is trying hard to put our team in wrong with the sporting public of New Haven

RUDOLPH
 SIGNS AGAIN
 WITH BOSTON

New York, Dec. 22,-Boston may breathe easier. Dick Rudolph is again aboard the Worlds Champion band wagon. Dick announced last night, from his home. in the Bronx, that he has signed a, Brave contract which makes him the baseball serf Of MT. Jim Gahney for the next, two years. Dick would not say what Ganney was paying him, but he hinted he was very. very we'll pleased with his new contract, and that he had received a nifty raise.
 { Dicks finances have gone up quite a bit in the last few seasons, as he started the 1913 season a Toronto Ma pie Leaf, but packed up his job soon after the season started, vixen he threatened to retire unless he was graduated to the majors.
 Dick said then he could pitch major league baseball, and the Bronxondan certainly proved it. There are some mighty gopd batters on the Mackmen, and any day Dick wants any refer ences that he is a big league pitcher all he need do is to ask for references from Baker. Collins, Oldring.

NEWLANDS WATERWAYS
 BILL YET UNDECIDED

Washington. Dec. 22-Whether the administration shall urge upon Con gross at this session action on Sem ator Newlands' proposal for the crea- ton of a commission to direct all fed era1 waterway control and improve ments remained today an open ques- tiorl Although the matter was dis cussed at a. meeting between the Pres ident and members of his cabinet last night no decision was reached.
 Under the NewIands bill appropria- tions for waterway improvements would amount to $60, 1000, ,000 annually for 10 years. It is proposed, however, that an amendment be submitted in the Senate to the rivers and harbors bill to provide now only for crea- ton of a commission to investigate the broad waterway scheme outlined
