SOLON GUILTY.
Minnesota's Football Captain is Found
 Guilty of Being Ineligible.

Minneapolis, Minn., Oct. 23.-Lorin Solon, captain of the University of Minnesota football eleven yesterday was held guilty of professionalism, and declared ineligible to take part in future Intercollegiate competitions. The charge against thtm was that he had played summer baseball for money on the Havre (Mon.) team
 The eligibility committee includes two football players-Baston and Bierman. The vote against him was unanimous. AS Solon signed an affi- davit that he was an amateur, it was said that expulsion from the university might be asktd Solon was the teams surest ground gainer, it's best goal kicker, great defense player, and the best man On the squad in receiving forward passes, according to his ad- 'mirers.
 He was the second Gopher captain in recent history to be barred from play on the eve of an important con- test because of sustained charges of professi sionalism. In 1911 Captain Earl Pickering of Madison, Wis. was de- clared ineligible to play, and was withdrawn from the lineup on com plaint of the University of Wisconsin.

EAST ENDS HERE SUNDAY.
Torrington Eleven Coming Here to Take Scalps of Pawnees.

Torrington Eleven Coming Here to
 Take Scalps of Pawnces.
 What should prove to be one of the best football games staged in New Britain in some time will take place Sunday, when the strong East Ends of Torrington will come here with their record of not being scored upon this season to meet the Pawnees at Traut's park. big crowd of rooters is expected from Torrington with the team, coming by automobile truck.
 The East Ends are out for the championship of Torrington this year and as the Pawness are out to win the championship of New Britain this sea son it should make both teams play football to down one or the other and the game should be hard fought one from start to finish.
 The Pawnees have had a hard weeks practice and are going in to try to earn their fourth game. Johnny Schroeder, the ex-High school star, will play quarterback for the Pawnees, while Chief Larson, of football fame, will be seen at halfback. The kickoff will be at o'clock, with Dan Fitzpatrick as referee.

play, and this sign was about the most encouraging the coaches had to think about after the game-aside, perhaps, from the bits of individual play ing by one or two Iinemen, showing great promise for the future. Haughton intends to make but few changes in the lineup between now and the big games with Princeton and Yale. Wiggin has been taken from the line and placed in the lack field. He was first choice for center on the team until the game against the Carlisle team, when he was replaced by Taylor The latter seems to be playing better ball at the
 pivot point, and this, together with the possibility that Wallace may be available for the Yale game, accounts somewhat for the shift. Soucy has eeen playing a brilliant game at end. Harvard players have welcomed the return of Enwright to the back field.

WHY NOT FOOTBALL?
Carranza, Mexican Leader, to En-
 courage Baseball.

Los Angeles. Cal. Oct 23.-Venus- tiano Carranza, head of the de facto government in Mexico. is going to en- courage the American game of base ball in the republic as a substitute for bull fights and other diversions along the border, according to Adolfo carillo. his consular agent here.
 Carranza, MT. Carillo said, will shut down on border iniquities as practiced at Juarez, Mexcali, Tijuana and other border towns, and will not recognize racetracks or Monte Carlo or conces- sions therefor.
 "Your American game of baseball will be encouraged instead" said the agent.

GILMORE HURLS HOT
 REPLY AT JOHNSON
President of Feds Says That Bans Statements About Ward Wanting
 to Retire From League Are False.

New York, Oct. 23.-In a statement issued yesterday at the Federal league offices, James A. Gilmore, president of the league, characterized as false a remark attributed to B. B. Johnson president of the American league, to the effect that the late Robert B. Ward had told Johnson that he wished to withdraw from the Federals.
 The statement which Johnson is said to have made includes what the Federals consider slur on MT. Ward, it being said that the Federal league caused his death because "he could not stand the strain of worries and losses.' The text of Johnson's re- marks in reference to the death of Robert E. Ward is given as follows.
 He was the backbone of the Fed eral league, and the blow is likely to prove fatal to the organization. I had talk with him last spring at which time it was inferred that he would be glad to get out of the league I think it is the Federal league that put him under the sod, as he could no stand the strain of wor- ries and losses.''

 No matter how good they are No matter their rank or fame, No matter the grip they tighten with In the whirl and swirl of the game; No matter the punch they hold, If only they'll stick around, Some day another will come along With more than they ever found. So matter how fast they look. No matter how great their day, No matter the power and speed they
 show n the driving smash of the fray; No matter that millions crown Then king of a nations fad, Some day another will reap the field With something they never had. Sullivan, Corbett and Fitz, Jeff and the Zulu Smoke Who was to drive them into the dust Or win with the K. O. poke? Who was to beat them down Kings of the Mauling Men? But deep in the resin, one by one, They slept through the count of ten. It's the Law of the Game, as old As Time and the Race of Man - As old as the beat of pulse and heart Tn the first dim dawn of the clan; No matter the heights they keep Or the crests where their drawn
 swords gleamed- Some day another will storm the walls With more than they ever dreamed.

Brown-McAuliffe Fight a Draw-Ket- chell Gets a Beating From
 Fighting Dane.

New Haven, Oct. 23.-The Indian Head A. C., boxing carnival last eve ming was witnessed by 1,800 .fistjc fans at the Arena, with two bouts failing to go the limit and two de- cisions as draws were rendered by Referee Dave Fitzgerald. The feature event found Chic Brown of this city battling ten rounds with Young Me Auliffe of Bridgeport in a go that was not interesting until the final round when action was in evidence. The sem1-f1nal between Larry Hansen, Danish boxer and pupil of Fighting Dlck Nelson, ended abruptly, the ef- forts of Red Ketchell to mix things up, the contest being stopped in the opening session with Ketchell a badly battered boy The second bout of the program was easily taken by Hartley with superior ring generalship out chasing Billy Nisto of Highwood in the period. The Highwood battler after taking a facing collapsed in the tenth With another minute to go. The Hlghwood lads inability to hit Hart ley at opportune times demonstrated that his Knowledge of boxing was from the brand exhibited by Leo Flynn's protege. Nisto can be haerld- ed, hereafter as one of the gamest youths who ever entered the local ring and deserves much credit for his staying power against Hartley.
 The opening go was a hotly con- tested Six-round affair and Joe Marcks of Highwood and K. O. Dill lon, the principals slugged their way to favorable mention of the spec tatOrS.

For What It's Worth.

Here is a story that comes to us from an inside source, and source that has always been more than trust orthy in the past:
 Do you know how the Feds are holding up ' queried this party. Do you know why they are still doing business and why they will continue to do business for some time to come :?
 "I'll tell you-and it's straight stuff. Some time ago Harry Sinclair called meeting of the other seven club owners We are bound to lose a lot of money still said Sinclair, but I have a good way out. There is cer- tain stock that I happen to know is due for a good, big rise. So If the eight of us take 25,000 shares on mar gin we'll have enough, as a league, to wipe out all deficits for some time to come.'
 Sinclair then named the stock, and it was arranged to take the 25,000 shares for the league. Within ten days or two weeks the stock began to advance rapidly, and within two months it was up twenty-five points. This meant profit of over $500, 900 to the league as war fund, and I un- derstand the stock has advanced con- siderably higher since, giving the eight Fed owners close to @ million dollar profit"
 This may be a pipe dream, but it is ceftanly plausible-and, as we re- marked before, the tip came to us from one who is in a position to know whereof he chatters Sinclair would also be in a position to furnish just such a tip. The stock mentioned is now selling above $400 a share.

semi-finaI bout of the evening. When he made his appearance in the ring on that evening there was nothing about him that would give the impress sion that he would be able to stand up under the hard smasfIes of the Capitol Cityite. but To and behold, when the mill had gone a few rounds the boy from the Empire State had the local crowd on its feet yelling and pulling for him to knockout his opponent from Hartford. In this he was un- successful, but nevertheless he ad- ministered enough of beating to the boy from the neighboring city to gain the decision, and since that night he las been an idol in the local boxing fsns' eyes. He has since appeared here against Waltz and on the second meeting he again emerged a winner.
 In Mcdonald he will meet a more experienced boxer than Waltz. and boy who should put him to his best. if he is to gain a victory. McDonald is also popular in the city. having at tained this popularity here last fall when he was called upon to subEtituee ir a bout with Tommy Shea of New Haven, and in doing this without any training. he went in and gave the Elmf City boy as much as he received.

YaIe'S Football Future.

Harry LeGore was a valuable mem Ter of the Yale squad. But we have hay hunch that the recent LeGore episode will stir Yale up as she hasn't been stirred since her decline set in, some years ago. In this way LeGore may be of greater value off the squad than he was a member of the Blue backfield. Yale has needed a certain impetus to help lift her from the rut. She has needed a general waking up. Not even that 36-0 affair with liar ward last fall was quite sufficient But
