LATEST TTDINGs FROM sPORTLAND
HARVARD WANTS TO FILL UP OPEN
 END OF STADIUM


 Harvard wants to throw away its ''ztanding room only, sign. but it cannot While the capacity of the Stadium remains less than 50, 900. and while the biennial Yale Harvard game is held in the crescent rampant the 8 R. O. signal will have to be flashed. s Sport for sports sake is . fine phrase and is as well applied at Cam bridge as elsewhere, but the Harvard Athletic association hates to turn away spectators with s2 bills in their hands as much as the most grasping Theatre manager or wrestling pro- moter. Therefore, the Harvard au- thorities are looking toward the fu- ture when it will be necessary to in~ crease the Stadium's capacity.
 The plan most frequently advanced to augment the capacity of the Sta- dium is to close up the open end of the structure with cement stands that would match exactly the main body of the horseshoe as it stands at present That would transforTn the Stadium in- to bowl, but it would bring the ca pacity to mora than 50,0oO, and it would take only a few Yale games to have the addition pay for itself.
 There is opposition to this plan at Cambridge. however. Many Harvard men had rather have the Stadium re- main as it is than to have their esthe- tic senses jared by an eIlipticaI struc- ture such as is proposed. They want the horseshoe kept at ali hazards. whether the seating capacity is kept down or not They don't object to the Temporary wooden stands that are al ways built to accommodate the over How at the big games each season. but theS do object to a proposal to have the open end closed in pernan=
 The wooden stands have already come in for s1ashing at the hands of the Boston building commissioner. and the H. A 4. would dou otless pre- fer a permanent structure to close in the open end It costs a great deal of money to erect the bIeachers once a or Princeton. and unusual precautions are also necessary to prevent any fires in the wooden stands. But while the attitude of the powers remains as It now is. the stands will have to be built.
 The Stadium proper is destined to stand at Harvard fer years and years. 1t was the first structure of it's kind built by a. college for its athletic teans and it is more heavily. built than even the Yale Bowl or the new Princeton Stadium It would be fu- tile to try to remodel the Harvard horSeshoe.

Chicago, Dec. .e3-Hughey Jennings for several years the manager of the Detroit American league team, may be the manager of the New York Federal league team in 1916. There are three big men in baseball under consideration for the position, but the Tiger leader is the most likely candidates according to Harry F.. Sinclair, owner of the Newark Federal league club, who arrived in Chicago yesterday morning on his way from Tulsa, Oklahoma, to New York.
 The other prospective managers of the new team which will invade New York are Fielder Jones and George StovalI. The former is the manager of the St. Louis Feds and the latter the leader of the Kansas City team. which forfeited it's franchise and was transferred to New York. ef
 Mir Sinclair said lot of interest ing things to the baseball fans. He said the baseball war has simmered down until it is question of the survival of the Attest. He compI- nnented Ban Johnson, presi@ent of the American league, and said he was an ideal leader, who had fighting blood in him. MT. Sinclair said he was in the battle to the finish with the Fed |eral league despite the result. He said

CHARLEY BARRETT
 OF CORNELL MAY
 ENTER ANNAPOLIS

Philadelphia, Dec 3-A rumor spread about the campus of Pennsyl- vania University yesterday afternoon that Charley Barrett, captain of the Cornell football team, and almost unanimous choice of football critics in the east for the quarterback posi- tion of the All-Eastern eleven, will go to Annapolis after his graduanon from Cornell next June.
 Several friends of Barrett said that an appointment was awaiting him from his home district and he may accept it. In the event that he does the great Cornell player will be fol- lowing the footsteps of Charles Daily, former Harvard star and coach or this years victorious army eleven
 DaIy entered West Point after he had left the doors of Old Harvard be- hind him, and if Barrett follows in the footsteps of this former gridtron star he will continue to play football in the role of a Naval Academy ca det.
 Although Barrett has played three years of intercollegiate football, this will rot prevent him from represent ing the navy, on the gridiron during the four years he is attending the academy. The matter which. is open for discussion at the present time is whether or not Charley will enter the. naval service. The report that the Cornell athlete had decided to go 10 the Naval Academy was received from an authentic source, and unless something unforeseen happens, Bar rett will enter the academy next June. H

LEFTY FLYNN OF
 YALE FAME TO TRY
 MATRiMONY AGAIN

New York, Dec. 3-Maurice Bennett (Lefty)- Flynn, star fuIlback on the Yale team of 1912, who was refused re-admission to the university because he contracted what the Yale authori- ties termed a notorious marriage with ReHa Leary, a Winter Garden girl, and who was later divorced by the actress, is to marry again.
 Announcement was made last nikht of his engagement to Miss Blanche Shrove Palmer, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Edmund J. Palmer of 103 West Eighty-sixth street. The news came from Syracuse, where Lefty" spends his time when in the East. The cou- pie met while visiting in the upstate city. EA
 Though no date has been set, it is said the wedding will take place this winter. At present Flynn is on a ranch in Co1oado, and it is rumored he is to take his bride there.
 After being the sensation of the football year at Yale in 1912, Flynn surprised his college mates by eIoping to New York and marrying Rena Leary on Jan. 6, 1913.
 The parents of the young man frowned upon the match and an an- nulment was talked of on the ground that he was under age. The union proved an unhappy one. Tn the fol- lowing July Mrs. Flynn began di- vorce proceedings, naming another chorus girl. A decree of divorce was obtained by the show girl in Feb ruary, 1914. Flynn gained his nick name in his college days from punt ing with his left foot

ANNIVERSARIES
 OF RING BATTLES

1so2-Kid Garter knocked out Pe- ter Maher in End round at PhiIadeI- phia. This defeat of Peter by a smaller and lighter man finally ended the hopes of Maher's many Irish friends that he would develop into a champion heavyweig ght. Within a few months Peter had been put away in two rounds by Joe Choynski and in one round by George Gardiner, while Jack Munroe turned the trick in 4 rounds. Few fighters have had so many stancy defenders, in the face of repeated defeats, as Peter Maher Apparently nothing could convince Pe- ter's Irish friends that he wasn't a coming champion and it was not un- til the series of knockouts started by Kid Carter that they abandoned hope. Peter had an awful punch, and he was game, but he couldn't take pun ishment. When he was knocked out by Bob Fftzsimmons on the Texas bor- der in 1896 he landed a punch be- fore the bout had fairly begun that almost sent FItz to sleep, and Bob has always declared that it was the hard est blow he ever weathered.
