think enough Of a chance at the title
TO finally agree TO guarantee Freddy
all he asks, and be willing to take
what Is left; but until that time comes
the match viii probably remain Just
where II IS now - on paper.
The only title contest definitely in
sight for this country is the Willard
Fulton affair. scheduled for the first
week in In March at New Orleans 1t
is said that Willard is guaranteed S32,-
500. win. lose, or draw; and. while Tom
Jones denies the charge. there is a be-
lief in many quarters that the Willard
people are gambling with the prOmOt-
ers on the proposition
The match is not taken very seriously
anyway Certainly a WelshWhite
fight would receive more attention
throughout the world of sport Fulton
is regarded as more or less of set
up for big jess. Il is, OF course. posi-
Bile that he may tip the champ over,
but II is not very probable Fulton's
announcement that he will agree to
take on any three heavyw Fights in
the country and stop them in ten
rounds merely caused smile in boxing
circles. It IS probably just part of the
ballyhOO that must be turned loose for
Fulton pretty soon.
Other Titles Rusting.

arms of Johnny Kilbane. Ertle and
Williams continue disputing the ban
tamWeight honors. while Al McCOy. IAN
cuisines i'm BROOKLYN with his aliega-
lions to the middleWeight belt There
is no prospect Of matches involving
any Of these titles. The sYViIlard-F ul-
ton affair is the only one definitely
scheduled, and it is a poor excuse, at
best
Tom Jones SAYS neither he nor VIII
lard is responsible for that match. He
says they simply signed an agreement
with the New Orleans promoters to box
anybody the promoters selected on a
certain day, and that the promoters
picked Fulton.
That fact doesn't make the match
any more appealing. however. Even
tually Willard will probably be along
this way to pick up a few of the fat
guarantees offered by the local pro-
motors, but reckless as they are it is
doubtful if any of them will ever offer
Jess S32,500 for boxing a man with no
better record than F. Fulton.

PENN STATE WINS
 FROM LEHlGH TEAM

State College, Pa, Nov. 6-Before a holiday crowd of 10000. the Penn State football team downed Lehigh yesterday afternoon by ' to 70. Out weighed 15 pounds to the man, the Blue and White team displayed an at tack that could not be stopped, and showed once more that speed is su- perior to weight in the modern foot ball game.
 The game was by far the best exhi- bition of football seen on Beaver Field this year and gave the Pennsylvania Day crowd plenty of excitement from start to finish. State sent Higgins across the line for the only touchdown of the game in the first period a pass from Ewing from the 15-yard line. The ball had been advanced from States 4o-yard line to Lehigh's s 15-yard mark when Ewing decided to try the pass. Ewing kicked an easy goal.

Higgins Refused To
 Get Fine Twirler By
 Buying Mining Stock
Sporting News ]

Miller James Huggins, manager of the St. Louis Cardinals, has passed up an opportunity to sign the greatest pitcher the world has ever known. All Huggins would have to do to get this wonderful l"phenom'' is to buy 250 shares of mining stock from a Dubuque, Ia., lawyer, and the lawyer in turn would get the pitcher to sign a Cardinal contract.
 The proposition came to Huggins in the form of a letter from a, law yer from the Iowa. town. The gen. tlenan claims to have discovered a semi-pro pitcher who is so good that even the Feds have been after him.
 It seems that some one unloaded 250 shares of mining stock on the Dubuque man a few years ago, and since the stock had failed to render the anticipated "bountiful dfvidends' the Dubuque attorney is eager. to dis pose of it at par value
 The par value of this wonderful stock Is one "gbone" per share. Hug gins says he may later decide to take about 10 cents worth. This indicates that Huggins is satisfied with his p1tcRingsstam for next season. and that he is not very anxious to secure the Dubuque lawyers ''find.''
 Huggins is afraid that the pitcher would be worth more than the min Ing stock, and as Hug is not the kind or a person to take unfair advantage of a lawyer it is a, Ieadpipe cinch that he won't accept the Dubuq-zs attor- ney's proposition

BIG PRICES FOR YALE AND HARVARD
 FOOTBALL SEATS

Cambridge, Nov. 6.-The final flood of applications for tickets to the HarVard-Yale football game to be played at the Stadium on November 20 came in Thursday. and the supply will not cover over one-sixth the ap- 1.ications Prices for tickets bought from spectators this year will make new records. Only those who carry million dollar bank accounts or who are Harvard or Yale students or grads will be able to edge their way into the Stadium.
 Accommodations will be at the high est figure known, ~and several hun dred dollars a seat may be paid. The big stadium cannot hold all the liar ward and Yale men and their friends on the day of the game.
 Theoretically. it is impossible for anybody but Harvard and Yale men and newspap per men to see inc game, for the 44,0OO seats are divided equal Iy between the two universities and the students and alumni of each de- nnand-s more than the supply But the lure of lucre opens the game up to speculators to certain extent, and if one cares not for a mere hun dred or two he can get inside and see the game.
 Ihe distribution of tickets began yesterday. Those who asked for one seat will be accommodated first, and then the two-seat applicants will get their pastecards so long as they last.

ANNIVERSARIES
 OF RING BATTLES

1899EMarty McCde defeated Oscar Gardner in 25 rounds at Brooklyn. These two little fighters were famous in their day. HcCue is now the Hon. Martin McCue, a, mem Der of the New YorR State Legislature, where he has defended the manly art'' against any asparagus thrown on it by the silk stocking lawmakers. Gardner was known as The Omaha Kid" and dur ing his career of ten years he defeated some of the best of the little fighters. Oscar fought a number of long bouts including a 41-round draw with John Van Heest, a, 36-ound defeat by Tom my Dixon and many 20 and 25 round contests. He defeated SoIly Smith, Australian Billy Murphy, Dave Sulli- van, Patsy Haley Joe Bernstein, Ed dy Santry, Kid Broad, Harry Forbes and many others, but was himself knocked out by Terry McGovern, Young Corbett and Tim Callahan. Me Cue also had good1y string of vic tories to his credit, but he fell short of championship calibre in a period when good little men were as thick as fleas on a door.

Dan MeKetrick, manager of Young Ahearn. sends the following:
 'tAH the talk of title holders, claim ants and contenders. in the middle weight division can easily be settled, and to the satisfactfon>of the pub lie. The fans want a, real champion. one who will defend his title and prove worthy of the crown
 Young Ahearn has signed with Tor torich and Burns, the boxing promot- CTS of New Orleans, to box any mid dleweigIt they select in their cham pionship tournament next January. On behalf of Ahearn, make the fol- lowing proposition to all the title ,chasers and ask the public for it's support.
 Young Ahearn will fight Al Mccoy, Mike Gibbons, Jack Dt1loz. or any other claimant for 20 rounds at 15S ringside. on g. winner-take-a11 basis. Jack Dillon claims he can make the middleweight limit. Here is a chance for him to prove it by fighting Ahearn with the whole purse to go to the win ner.
 1 Ahearn is the undisputed middle weight champion of Europe and on January 1. 1916, if any of the above fail to toe the mark, Ahearn will claim the worlds midd1eweight champion ship

WANT WILLIAMS
 FOR HEAD COACH
 AT PENNSYLVANIA

Philadelphia, Pa, Uov. GA move ment has been gradually gaining headway at Pennsylvania among the undergraduates and prominent alum nj to get the Football Committee to appoint Dr.. Carl Williams absolute head coach for the remainder of this season. as he was when Penn had it's greatest teams in 1904 and 1905
 It is felt by most that the failure of the team so far this season has been due to too many coaches having their fingers in the pie. George Brooke has the title of head coach and .tBys' Dickson is called head field coach, but both Wharton and Will Hams have practically the same pow CT as they The result is that every time their opinions differ on any sub ject each one teaches his set qf play CTS differently from the rest; the re suit being the the hnemen, ends and back sfieldmen all have different styles of playing. .

.lANNIN'S OFFER
 TO SELL BOSTON STARTLES HOOTERS

Though he won a worlds cham pionship in. the best baseball town in the world, though he is a. rabid fan" and owns the best baseball team in the world, Joseph Lannin of Boston vould sell his worlds champions, his new stadium, etc, cheap writes J B. Sheridan in the St. Louis Globe-Demo- crat.
 Salaries too high, expenses. too great, players unreasonable and un- grateful, are the reasons MT. Lannin gives for wanting to get out of base ball. Mr La.nnin paid the highest salaries of any1c1ub owner. He treat- ed his players better than any club owner. save. perhaps MT. Britton of St. Louis. His players did win the worlds championship for him. But the grapes turned to ashes in his mouth.
 So 1t is pretty we'll down the line of baseball club owners. They are all willing sell. Ezorbitant sal aries. excessive expenses, inconsider- ate players, make even success cost you money in baseball.
 Every club owner. has a payroll that .'s from 5000 to $75.OO0 in excess of true proportion, This means a to- tai destruction of profits if not a loss
 Baseball is a risky fnvestment. You 
 upon your capital The 1-2 and . per cent of first mortgages in real estate is not sufficient return in base ball People who never had dollar to invest may harp about .'big money and greedy magnates," but business recognizes that long chances entit1e. to big percentage, and in no business are chances longer than in baseball.
 With war on, salaries kiting. mag mates disgusted. the people bein g overfed with baseball, the national game does not offer a very attractive investment just now. N
 With man like MT. Lannin. winner of a worlds champioship. over of a club in the best baseball town in the world, a real 'fan,'' a man who likes baseball and baseball players eager to sell, what must be the attitude of the club owner of the Federal League. who lost money, though winning a championship and running, nose and nose, in a wonderfully close race
 Nobody can blame the players for getting all they can Their empIov- ment and their value is short lived Nobody can blame the Federal League men for trying to make money in baseball Nobody can blame any body for anything. but the condition that faces baseball is that the men who have money invested are disgust ed and discouraged and want to get out.
 1twas almost impossible to buy a major league baseball club two years ago. Now, with the possible excep- ton of New York and Pittsburgh Ma ffonals, every one of the~16 clubs in the major leagues can be bought for a very reasonable price The rla- uonaf game is on the bargain counter, the sale well advertised and buyers scarce, as money-making teams
