ANNIVERSARIES
 OF RING BATTLES


 18s6-Jack McAuliffe knocked out Billy Frazer in 21st round at Boston McAuliffe had claimed the American lightweight championship in success sion to his friend. "Nonpareif' Jack Dempsey, who had become middle weight Frazer, who was a Boston boy, was looked upon as Williamsburg Jacks chief rival for the honors, and the match attracted much attention. Frazer had a big following, and, all though he had been stopped by Dempsey, the Boston fans backed him heavily. Bill made a good showing but he was clearly outc1assed by the Brook1ynite, and in the 21st chapter Jack slipped over the soporiffc punch. Frazer's friends c1amored for another chance, and the match was made and the date set for the following Decem- Der, but Frazer forfeited rather than tackle McAu1iffe again. The Boston fans got revenge the following year

DAN WALKER SEES LIVELY BOUTS AT
 ACORN A.C. SHOW

A feature of the monthly smoker of the Acorn A. C., last night, was the rresences of Daniel E. Walker, Democratic candidate for mayor, at the ringside during the last two bouts of the evening. sWhen Danny en- tered the arena the applause was deafening and the rafters fairly rung as three cheers and a tiger were given for the popular candidate.
 After the evenings show had ter minated Walker was called upon to make a speech. He stated his posi- ton on all issues and said that he was out to win. that harmony is the watehword, and said that any man that failed to vote a straight ticket could not be considered as a friend of Danny Walker Jimmy Williams, candidate for alderman from the 11th district, also had a few words to say and at the conclusion of the talk he was roundly applauded.
 The boxing curtain raiser brought together Young ketche11 of this city and Frankie Wilson of New York. It was a good draw. In the second bout of the evening Willie Condon of New York and Jimmy Snyder of the Acorn club, fought a slashing four round draw. It was give and take and the fans were greatly pleased at it's con- c1usion.
 Willie Andrews of New York and Willie Mclean of this city, were the contestants in the seIni-final It was a good bout and honors were even.
 The star bout of the evening be- tween Freddie Bosse of this city and Mel Coogan- of New York was a cork CT. Plenty of action was displayed by both pugilists and during the first two rounds Freddie had all he could do to make matters even However, in the last two rounds, Bosse began to find his opponent and gained a decision by a slight shade.
 Tom Connery was the referee, Slim Brennan did the annouhcing and Michael F. O'Connors the mayor of East Bridgeport. ticked off the deadly seconds on a Waterbury turnip. Geo. s. HilI president of the IocaII police board, was present at the ringside and at the conclusion of the bouts expressed himself as highly pleased with the orderly manner in which the entertainment was conducted

DE PALMA SPEEDS UP HIS RACER TO
 IO5 MILE AVERAGE

New York. Oct. 2s.7-Ralph De Palma and his high powered. yellow Mer- 4cedes car, dashed over the sheepshead Bay Speedway yesterday afternoon at 1OS miles an hour. It was the first time that the big Mercedes has had a tryout on the two-mile wooden course, and De Palma had no trouble in reel- ing off lap after lap at terrific speed. John Aitken was bowling over the saucer in his Peugeot, and Aitken and De Palma furnished thrills for the small crowd of spectators in a. ten mile brush both cars spinning along at about 1G5 miles an hour
 De Palma skinned along a few feet behind Aitken for about six miles, and then he let out his big racer. and it fafrly streaked it's way around the track and left the Peugeot several yards behind at the finish of the ten mile whirl-
 De Palma says that his racer is now in good condition, and he has no doubt that, the worlds records for both fifty and 100 miles will be lowered by, his machine in the special invitation race to De held at the speedway on election dal, next Tuesday. De Pa1mas best time for the two- mile circuit was 1:0s, svhile Aitken's fastest lap was made in q :O9 3-5

MATTY TO PILOT
 TEAM IF SINCLAIR
 BUYS THE GIANTS

New York, Oct. 29.-As far as we could learn yesterday. the story from
 Chicago that Harry Sinclair might be- come part owner Of the Giants was mot as much bunk as it appeared on close. to Sinclair yesterday said that
 Sinclair is confronted with the follow ing two propositions:
 He has been offered, and in fact holds an option on, property at For
 tieth strets and First avenue for $1,- < 200, ,000 Properly speaking, the grounds offered to Sinclair lay between East Thirty y-eighth street and East Forty first street and between First avenue and the East river
 In addition to the purchase of the property MT. Sinclair would have to
 go ahead and spend at least a half million dollars in grading the grounds and building stadium. Sinclair also would have to bear the brunt of float ing the Federal league enterprise in New York.
 The other proposition understood to
 be placed before Sinclair was the pur- chase of 62 per cent. of the stock of the National Exhibition company, the official name of the Giants. Fffty-two
 per cent. of that stock is owned by Mrs. John T. Brush and Mrs. Harry | r. cent. by Ashley Lloyd. It is under stood that Sinclair had been given to
 understand that he could purchase the l 62 per cent, or the controlling inter est, for $1, ,500, 900.
 From the, foregoing it can be seen that of the two propositions Sinclair is most likely to consider the purchase I of the Giant steak. HR most likely would prefer to share in an estab- | lished business than to take any
 chance of floating new enterprise
 like the Federal league in New York. | One close to Sinclair said yesterday | that if the Oklahoma oil man did take 1 over a controlling interest in the l Giants, Christy Mathewson would be
 made manager and that John McGraw | would be allowed to take service with Cap Huston, either supplanting Bill Donovan as manager or becoming an
 official of the New York Americans. | Sinclair is quoted as saying Matty | has the greatest baseball brain in the
 world and stating that no one else@be- ] sides Matty would be allowed to man age the Giants.
 It is understood that though Me
 Graw's contract has two more years
 to run, John is anxious to sever his connections with the Giants and ally l himself with the Yankees, inasmuch
 as he long has been a, close personal
 friend or both Cap Huston and Presi- dent Ruppert.

UNIFORM RULES FOR BASKETBALL
 IS LATEST EDlCT

Uniformity in basketball rules will prevail hereafter, according to an an- nouncement made yesterday by Ralph Morgan, secretary of the National Sollegiate Athletic association com rnittee on basketball rules, for joint committee comprising the college cornittee, the Y. M. c. A. and the A. A. U. rules committees.
 The three committees first met to- gether last spring and decided upon ama1gamation. This union of the three sets of basketball rules makers will result in the introduction of one set of rules for all games hereafter.
 This is the statement issued by the joint committee.
 s'Those who have the interest of amateur basketball at heart have for long time felt that there should De a uniform code of playing rules rather than one set of rules for the A. A. U and it's affiliated interests and another for the colleges and all lied Interests. At the close of the 1915 playing season representatives from the Interna ationaI Y. M. c. A.
 met with the collegiate basketball Erules committee and adpoted uniform rules for both parties. Subsequently, the Amateur Athletic Union was in vited to join the Y. M. c. As and colleges, with the result that uniform rules for all three bodies have been adopted The Joint committe f repe- Iresentatives from all three. bodies has labored long and earnestly, and, in the minds of the editors of this vol urne, successfully, in their efforts to get all that is good from both the A. A. U. and co11egiateNru1es into, the new uniform rules that have their first publication herewith.
 t"The basketball public must appre- iat WI a ia ask has fronted the joint committee, and all lowances' should be made if there are any rough spots in the rules, for it it difficult, indeed, to foresee every possible contingency. The joint committee has gone about it's work on the sasis of the greatest good for the greatest number and will continue to do so in the future. The game will be carefully watched as it is played during the coming season, and modi- fication of the rules will be made for following year if there seems to be need for change or if there is any spjecifc demand. The committee de- sires the hearty cooperation of every one playing the, game or otherwise identified with it.
 with reference to the makeup of this book. the committee, after con siderable de1iberation, decided to rank the three organizations in the order of their identification with the game as organizations and to rotate this order every year.
 '"This arrangement was entered into so there would be no question of relative importance whatever. Under this plan the Y M C. As which were identified with the game at it's adoption in 1891, would this year come first. while the A. A. U., whose adoption of the sport dates from the middle '9s, and the colleges, who have played the game since it's fncep- only since 1905, would come last. Next year the college section will be first and the Y. M. c. As second, with the A. A. U. third, and the following year the A. A. U. section would be

HARVARD EXPECTS > TO DEFEAT PENN
 STATE TOMORROW

Cambridge, Oct. 29-f hard work helps Harvard will go into the Penn State game Saturday many points better than it was against Cornell last week. The members of the team not only have learned that they now have a varsity rating, but the drill this week has been the hardest of the sea son.
 During GiIman's continued absence from the lineup Bigelow played right tackle instead of Gamer. BigeIow started well this year, but his work fell off, and since, being dropped as a tackle he has put in lot ~of time playing guard. His return to tackle has been attended by a little improve raent, but not enough to make the coaches feel safe that he could fill the position satisfactorily in an. inn portant game.
 The rushline has improved greatly this week. The centre combination has a lot more speed than when Cowen was at guard. With Gilman II in trim again the coaches will be will ing to admit that they see very good line in sight for the big games, but they also realize that the sub stitutes are far from being on par with the regulars.
 Robinson ran the team for time yesterday, and then Wilcox took hold His chances for being the general for the Princeton game are now better than are Watson's. Enwright was worked to the limit. He has been assigned regular place with King and Nfahan, McKinlock still being un- able to do any hard running The team will be stronger than was the 1914 team, when ftp layed Penn State. and the Crimson has slight fears that it will not be able to win on Saturday and decisively.

LONG TOM HUGHES ONE
 OF FEW BALL PLAYERS WHO RESIGNED POSITION
1sPoRTING NEWsl

Long Tom Hughes is believed to be one of the few players in the history of the game to resign.
 According to one of the officials of the Los Angeles club, Long Tom wasn't fired, but handed in his resigna ton. Tom may have seen it coming and decided to beat them to it.
 When Los Angeles started on their last trip, so the story runs, the players as it is their custom, Tipped coins to decide which of them should be sen tenced to upper berths or occupy the roonny ground floor. Hughes showed up late for the lottery and found Scot ty Finley occupying the only extra lower berth. That the club trainer should be in a lower berth and a reg uIar pitcher compelled to hike up a step ladder into the hay1oft. did not meet with Long Toms idea of the general fitness of things. According to this story Hughes srnarting under the wound to his dignity. wrote out his resignation to the club. and it was accepted upon his return.

WAGNER'S OWN COLUMN

Several players who are known to local basketball fans by their work in this city in past years, are appearing in the new Interstate league, which opened last night. The first game was played before a big crowd in Jer- sey City, Stamford beating the home club 21 to 20.f George Smith, the former Blue Ribbon player and Nor man, who has often appeared against the Ribbons, were with Stamford. Reich, another Ribbon graduate, was with Jersey City and so was Jolly Jake Fuller, the famous beauty.
 The New England league held a meeting yesterday and named a com n1ittee to consider ways and metns by which Hartford, Sprin ngfield and New Haven could be merged into a new league to be composed of New England and Eastern association cit ies. Many leagues have designs on Eastern territory and there will be merry time at the National association meeting in San Francisco next month when minor territorial matters will be considered
 Red Fleming, the former washing ton and Jefferson halfback, who did so we'll against Yale last year, is the center of many protests in the college world. He played three years at Wash. and Jeff. previous to which he had played a year in Gettysburg. The former college refused to let him play this season so he went to Mullen berg in. Allentown, Pa Every week the opponent of Muhlenberg protests against Fleming. Lafayette recently protested him but called him Arthur instead of Malcolm, his right name. He has a brother Arthur at Mullen bere SO Arthur was kept out of the

game and Malcolm played.

DeniaIs of the sale of, the Giants were not quite so strong in the New York papers today. The most surpris- ing thing is the report that McGraw will become manager of the New York Americans if Sinclair buys the Giants and puts Matty in as manager. The fanes have been accustomed to re- gard McGraw as one of the vital parts of the Giants but he may think he a great friend of Captain Huston, one of the Yankee owners, and would un- doubtedly like to work for him.
 Harvard will not use Captain Ed die Mahan against Penn State tomor- row He with Assistant Coach Brown and Quarterback Watson will see Princeton in action against Williams. As Harvard meets the Tigers a week from tomorrow, the Crimson leaders want to see what they will be up against. Many critics think Princeton will hand a beating to Harvard.
 Joe Shugrue, who has not been very active in the ring since he had trouble with, his eyes, will get back in the game next Monday night when he will tackle Jimmy Murphy in Phil adelphia. Shugrue and Walter Mohr are matched for 12 rounds in Water bury Nov. 25- That ought to be an interesting argument
 A big delegation of local football enthusiasts will go to New Haven to- morrow to see the Ya1e-Colgate game. The fact that Colgate has not been beaten this year leads many to think the shaving stick boys may put over a victory.

YALE TO RESORT
 TO KICKING GAME
 AGAINST COLGATE

New Haven, Oct. 29-If Yale is un- able to make touchdowns against Col gate on Saturday, the Blue may re- sort to kicking to make enough points to win. Most of yesterday afternoon s practice was spent on booting the ball and in perfecting the defense. The coaches believe that if the Yale line meets expectations it can stop the rushes of the Colgate team and open enough holes in the Colgate defenses to allow the Yale backs to get within striking disanee. tThen a kicker will be sent into boot the ball over for 8 field goal
 Captain Wilson. Bill Savage, who may substitute at quarterback, Fife Waite, who will play left halfback. and Otis Guernsey kicked like veter- ans yesterday afternoon.
 It was Guernsey's first actual n1av since he was hurt nearly three weeks ago, and he did not -scrilnnage. Standing on the scrubs 3o-yard line he kicked four well aimed goals in succession.
 It was learned late last night that Conroy hurt his knee badly in prac- tice yesterday afternoon and will be unable to play Saturday. His place will be taken by Balbridge Other wise the Yale lineup against Colgate it was announced last night, will be the same as that used yesterday
