FIGHT SHOULD BE FAST.
Card Arranged by Federal A. C. At-
 tracing Plenty of Attention.

Action is promised the boxing fans day night when the Federal A. C. stages it's all star boxing show. In all Walsh has carded fifteen round star bout between Danny Ridge aud round semi-final between Joe Rocco and Young Fulton feath herweights and the usual preliminaries.
 The fifteen round tilt between Ridge and Edwards should be hummer as both lads are aggressive every inch and never stop fighting. Ridge comes from New York where he has boxed such men as Willie Beecher, Johnny Grifhths, K. o. Brown, Johnny Lore, Phil Bloom, Walter Mohr, Young Lustig, Johnny Harvey, Harry Pierce and others while Edwards who makes Pittsburg his home, has exchanged punches with such cel.- brated ring stars as Matty Baldwin, Gilbert Gallant, Willie Beecher, K. 3: Brown, Patsy Drouilard, Mickey Rod- gers, Ted Lewis and others.
 The fur should fly in the semi-fina1 when Rocco and Fulton clash. Each boy is an aggressive fighter with ter rife punch and as is generally the case when two sluggers are pitted together a good bout is the result. Rocco is well known throughout the Nutmeg state for his f1stic prowess while Fulton comes from Gotham, with a big reputation. Fulton has boxed such boys as Willie Beecher, Willie Jones, Eddie Wallace, Preston Brown, Packey Hommey, Tommy Houck, Frankie. Fleming and many others. #

THE MIGHTY HAVE FALLEN.
"Connie'' Mack Is Forced To See
 Games Transferred to Other Cities.

Philad adelphia, Sept. 2S.-In spite of the fact that Quaker City fandom is enthused over the prospects of the approaching worlds series as perhaps it never before has been excited, the city in it's joy for Moran's success has entirely forgotten Connie Mack's Athletics. This team, which brought four pennants to this city in the last five years, has been forced, through lack of patronage, to transfer two of it's games to Washington.
 The games of Wednesday and Thursday, which the Senators and Athletics were to have played here, have been moved to the Capital City, Even during it's most striking success, the local American League team never was so popular as the Phillies Connie Mack lost small fortune in 1914 in spite of the fact that his club figured in the worlds series with the Braves. When the one time pennant trust fell into decay this season, the city turned in body to the successful Phillies. Since Mack's S team came home from a long road trip last Labor Day, patronage at Shibe Park has dwindled to a pitiful handful. No more than 200 paid today to see the final game with the White Sox.

INELIGIBLES RULES OUT.
Players For Captain "Dave" Dunn's
 Squad Feels Heavy Hand of Faculty.

New York, Sept. 2s.-"Hank" Miles has been declared ineligible for the Fordham eleven. Miles had been chosen for tackle on the first team and had been putting up a fine game in practice. He came to Fordham this year from Washington and Lee and on coming out for the Bronx team claimed that he was still eligible to play. However, after inquiry it was asserted by Physical Director Pollock of Washington and Lee that Miles was ineligible, having won his insignia in 1911, 1912, 1913 and 1914.
 As Shea a former Springfield col lege player who also was a candi- date for the tackle position was de- clared ineligible last week, Ford ham will have to depend on May and Mulcahy to fill in the tackle po- sitions this year. They were both regular tackles year ago, but Miles and Shea had the benefit of more col lege experience.
 Another man to feel the sting of the new athletic index system at Fordham yesterday was Oft, former with Genesse, centre on Colgate last Fall, Oft tried to enter the Fordham Medical School but they were both found to be lacking several essentials for matriculation.

MAY PLAY IN BOWL
Building Regulations in Hub City May Cause Transfer of Big Game.

Cambridge, Mass, Sept. 2s.--Un- less the Building Commissioner of Boston changes his attitude toward allowing the Harvard Athletic Asso-. citation to build temporary wooden stands across the open end of the stadium for the Harvard Yale foot ball game on No. 70, the match will not be played here, but will be staged in the Yale Bowl at New Ha- ven, where it was played a year ago. Treasurer Fred Moore of the Har- ward A. A. made this announcemehr yesterday. [
 The Harvard Stadium seats only 22,000 people and if no temporary seats were allowed the Crimson would have only 11,000 seats to fill 17,000 more applications. q
 Boston's new building laws are very strict, or at least they are in- terpreted strictly. Until within few days ago Mr Moore believed that he could secure permission to build the additional temporary stands, but he Is unable to get final assurance. There are 10000 seats in the bowl at New Haven, and the management here figures that, even if it paid the expenses of all the un- dergraduates to and from the game at New Haven, it would have a profit of $30,000 more than if the game were played in the stadium on Sofr diers Field. A month is needed to build the wooden stands and unless permission is granted to do so within three weeks the game will be shifted to the New Haven field.

 But through all this dreariness there have been two radiant spots for those who follow the fortunes of the aforesaid Giants. One has been the grand campaign that Fred Merkle, the much mahgned, has put away one of the best years for all around value that any ball player ever knew.
