NO TERMS WITH BAKER.

New York, Dec. 3.-Captain Hus- ton yesterday said that there was no truth in the report that the Yankees would continue to play indefinitely at the Polo Grounds. He emphasiz- ed the fact that it was the intention of the Yankees to build a ball park of their own, and that they were not influenced by any action which the Federal league might take in this city. The Yankees, he said, would not oppose the Federal league plans or be influenced in any degree by them. Huston had just returned from Wilmington, Del, where, with Bill Donovan, he had a conference with Home Run Baker of the Ath- 1etics. The fact that there was a con- ference with Baker led to a rumor that some arrangement had been made whereby Baker would join the Yankees next season. Huston. how ever, denies that any agreement was reached. The New York club had the permission of Connie Mack to deal with Baker, but the oft-repeat
 ed statement that the Yankees "are as far as ever from obtaining the services of Baker, was voiced by Captain Huston on his return here.

DUNDEE WINS AGAIN.
Scotch-Wop Just Shades Phil Bloom
 After Fast Battle.

New York, Dec. 3.-A speedy rally and a succession of telling body blows in the tenth round of their ring con test last night at the Pioneer Sport ing club gave Johnny Dundee shade" over Phil Bloom of Brooklyn. The contest was practically rep etition of their former bout at Brooklyn club ten days ago, only the margin of Dundee's superiority was not quite so pronounced as at the first meeting of the pair. The "fans"
 witnessed a fast, clever contest with
 lots of action. It was one of the
 best battles between ligheweights this season and brought out all the best
 the boxers could produce.
 Dundee's baffing style of boxing kept the Brooklynite busy guessing his opponents next move, and and as the claimant for lightweight hon. , ors assumed his crouch. Bloom set himself to receive the full force of Dundee's blows. Bloom showed inn | proved form over his previous en- l counters with Dundee, and during the early stages of the contest experience

A. A. U. BAN ON RICHARDS.
Cornell Athlete Ineligible to Compete
 In Central District.

Chicago, Dec. 3.-The Central A. A. U. board of managers announced yesterday that Alvah Richards, who gained international fame by winning the high jump at the Olympic games at Stockholm in 1912, had been de- clared ineligible to compete in meets of the central district, as legal resi- dence, when he took part in the meet here last July, was Provo, Utah, not Chicago, as noted on his entry blank.
 The board sustained previous ruling by the district championship committee, which was taken before the National A. A. U. and referred again to the central. The board of managers ruled that Richards must give back the medals he won in the July meet, when, competing for the Illinois Athletic club, he took first place in the fifty-six-pound weight event, second in the high jump, and third in the discus and javelin throws. Richards is now a student at Cornell university.

 ing Best Bid.

New York Dec. 3.-Articles of agreement were signed yesterday for a bout of twenty rounds or more for the lightweight boxing championship of the world The contenders will be Freddy Welsh, the title holder, and Charley White of Chicago. The boys have met before in ten-round contests in New York, but this will be their first match for the title.
 Freddie Welsh was represented by his manager. Harry Pollok, and Whites interests were taken care of by Max Blumenthal, who acted for Nate Lewis, who looks after the con- tenders affairs.
 The fight will take place within six weeks. and the managers are now awaiting bids from responsible clubs It is probable the bout will be held in California. It was rumored at the meeting that Jim Coffroth will bid for the privilege to stage the contest at his new club. Although no direct bid was received from him, he is expected to get into communica- the next few days.
 It was decided to make the weights for the match 135 pounds at 2 D. m, 1 test at 10 a. m., the place Of weigh ing to be mutually agreed upon. Both managers posted forfeits of i $1,000 each with Bob Vernon, the | stakeholder.

Cornell Rises to & Point or Order.


 Sir: Has it ever occurred to you how many of our so-called Allan eri can football men are chosen through a judicious advertising by coaches and newspapers? Behold, then, all-star teams with five Harvard men and one or two Cornell men. Tn the Cornell Harvard game Jameson knocked Gill man all over the lot-played so hard he had to be taken out. No team that Cornell played was able to gain any ground through Jameson. Result Gilman picked and Jameson not even mentioned. Then King is given pre- ference to Shivericl1, CornelIs next lest man after Barrett. Shiverick, speedy head runner, a wonderful punter, a great drop-kicker, a big power in Harvards defeat, is hardly mentioned. Cornell, with her star player out, beat Harvard handily. If Harvard had five stars, as selected, to Cornell's two, how far ahead of Haughton does this put Sharpe?
