TO-DAY IN PUGlLISTIC ANNALS.

1S50-A notable benefit was held or this date at the National Baths in London, in honor of the reconcilia ton between Bendigo, the champion, and Ben Caunt the eX-champion. Bendigo and Caunt had fought three times. the former winning the first battle. Caunt the second, and Bendigo the third. After the last bout. which ended in a row, the men became bitter enemies. but after five years they were induced to end the feud and shake hands publicly at a big benefit At the conclusion of the festivities
 Bendigo offered to defend his title against anybody, and, much to the surprise if the assembled sports, the def was promptly taken up by an unknown" named Tom Paddock. who
 f1ourished a big wad of bills to prove his earnestness In the subsequent fight the challenger lost on a foul, but he gave the clever Bendigo the worst mauling he had ever received. 1S92--Bill Dunn knocked out Frank | Craig in the third round at Stamford. l Conn.

 round at Lewiston, Me.

MAY REDUCE COURSE AT P0UcHKEEPS|f
Hudson River Classic Nay Be Cut
 to Three Niles.

There will be a meeting of the board of stewards of the intercolle- gate regatta some time this month, and then the mooted question of changing the distance of the varsity race will be considered and undoubt- edly final action taken Last year. after the close of the Poughkeepsie regatta, the stewards announced that this seasons race would be over the same four-mile course, but since that time there has been a general dis cussion among coaches and oarsmen as to the advisa bility of shortening the varsity race from four to three miles, and the stewards will consider the proposal,
 While each year there have been from five to seven crews in the Poughkeepsie classic, the control of the races lies in the hands of Cor nell, Columbia and Pennsylvania. and the representatives of these three col leges who comprise the board of stewards will determine the matter, regardless of any of the other col leges which compete year after year. Just what the standing of opinion is in relation to changing the race is hard to determine.
 No "Pink Teas" for Ni,.
 Vivian Nichails of the Pennsylvania crew has come out strongly in favor of the long distance and remarked that in England they row many long races and that he could not sec any reason for having pink tea affair on the Hudson, On the other hasd, Jim Rice of Columbia and Charles Courtney of Cornell believe that there is harm in rowing the fourmile race. Courtney, since he has been at Ithaca, has always maintained this opinion, and Rice has expressed his belief for several seasons.
 Among the oarSmen themselves It is hard to get a definite opinion there being differences in the same crew, but for the most part the undergrad - uates in the eastern colleges appear to be somewhat indifferent All they want is the race. and their opinion will probably not be one that is con- sidered by the board of stewards. There are graduates to consider, how ever. and. as it is largely due to their help that rowing is maintained at several universities. their eXpres- sion of sentiment, if put in concrete form, will have a bearing. mere IS also a divergence in belief. but the general impression to be gained Is that the four-milc event is too severe strain on the endurance of under graduates.
 Sentiment May Have It's Effect. There is a factor in the discussion which few consider, but which will undoubtedly have d direct bearing
New Britain herald., 1915-01-04

on any attempt to change the race at Poughkeepsie, and that is summed up in the word sentiment. The regatta on the Hudson has become so much of a fixture in the college world that even some of those who have argued for shorter race in the classic would be almost sorry to see the change go into effect For years the event has been four miles, and now there is set of figures compiled that gives a basis for comparison. one year with another, and then the four-mile race is primarily a mans event, looking at it from the college mans stand point, and any proposal to make it less of struggle would undoubtedly be considered as detra cting from the interest.
 Then there is the fact that the Yale-Harvard event is four miles, and the stewards of the Hudson event would probably find themselves in much disfavor if they were to make a change that would place the Pough keepsie race below the Yale-Harvard standard. A three-mile race on the Hudson would undoubtedly be con- sidered inferior to what would be termed a big race on the Thames. This would be intolerable to the crews in the intercollegiate regatta.

 The expense items of conducting the matches amounted 10 many thou- sands of dollars. The office expendi- ture of the international committee amounted to S3.197. There was no waste, as even the old tennis balls were sold as souvenirs and the lum. Der in the stands disposed of 10 deal- CTS.

SULLIVAN INVASION PLANS ARE COMPLETE
Outlaw League VII Take in Cor neCiIcu|, New Jersey and Rhody.

Connecticut, New Jersey and Rhode
 Island are said to be included in a new outlaw league which Ted Sulli- van is building. It had been stated previously that Sullivan was attempt ing to construct a new circuit which might be connected with the Federal league but it was not known that his
 plans were so extensive. Sullivan was formerly on the payroll for Charlie Comisky and he bids fair to
 keep Eastern associations magnates on the jump for the next few months. He believes his circuit will be much better than the Atlantic league.
 The circuit as it is outlined at pres ent includes New Haven, Bridgeport Waterbury and Danbury in this stale, Newark and Jersey City in New Jer- sey and Providence in Rhode Island. That makes seven cities in all, the eighth place being as yet undecided, That was the proposition which Sul- livan is said to have presented to the Wards.
 Report has it that Sullivan has men ready to step into these cities With outlaw clubs in an outlaw league, and take their chances with the ball play CTS they will get when salaries are cut along the line in organized baseball this summer Without a doubt he will not find much opposition in Bridge port and Waterbury, where baseball has had poor livelihood the last few years, and as 1t is his intention to secure the grounds at Lighthouse Point, New Haven. for Sunday base ball, the club that will enter the Elm City will be in a fair way to smash any profit that the New Haven club of the Eastern association might hope to make.
 With Jersey City out of the Inter- national league, as is now proposed there would be room for club there, while Newark and Providence, both International league cities. may SUD- port two minor league clubs.

LITTLE INTEREST IN POLO.

Representatives from New Haven, Waterbury, New Britain and Hart ford convened at the Hotel Beloin yes- terday and discussed the proposed Connecticut roller polo league. Meri- den and Wallingford were not repre- sented. No definite action was taken and another meeting was called for later in the week. It is planned to form a six club league with teams composed of leading amateurs.

Atlantic League Magnate Denies It.

Atlantic League Nlagnate Denies It.
 New York, Jan. 4.--When inter viewed at his home in this city, Dr. Carlos l.. Henriquez, president of the Long Branch club of the Atlantic league and vice president of the or ganization. denie,, that the league had entertained a proposition to invade Providence, New Haven and Newark
 T have heard that the Federal league is busy organizing a minor league up in New England. but tho Atlantic league has nothing to do with it. It's name is probably being used to cover up the Federal league people. We will hold our annual meeting within two or three weeks, and while it is likely that two of the cities now in the league will drop out we have several applications from cities that are ready to take their places.
 "Tke Danbury franchise will most likely be transferred to Schenectady, while the Asbury Park, club may be transferred to JohnstoWn. The Am stercam- Johnstown Gloversfille sec tion was at ope time represented in the New York State league. Since it's being dropped, it has improved re- markedly in a baseball sense and the population has grown too.'
 The Atlantic league was made sev- eral propositions last winter by the Federal league. but 1t turned them all down, although it was said that a small minority was in favor of tagging on to the "outlaws"
 As matters turned out, the league might have made more money had if joined the Federal 1eague forces as the Gilmore circuit needs just such an organization as the Atlantic in adtli- tion to a league like the Southern as sociation, for instance. It is known that at least one of the Atlantic league magnates right now has very strong leanings toward the Federal league.

 Billy Kopf an Example.
 "But for developing fast ball play CTS, our little old league has de- veloped more than it's share for the big show. I developed Billy kopf whom the newspapers claim will sue ceed Eddie Collins at second base for the Athletics. Why I mention his name in particular is that New Haven sporting writers roasted him so badly that I sent him to the Fall River club. After he had played but one season of professional baseball he was sent to the Cleveland club of the American league. This is only one instance why a manager does not give a young player a chance 10 see what he can do. When newspaper writer starts to roast a promising star the manager and player alike lose heart

CAMERON SMILES AT
 FED LEAGUE "FARN"
Believes Chances for Outlaw Club
 jn New Britain aTe Poor.

President George M Cameron of association does not believe the Fed eral league has, chance of putting teams in New Britain and other cities next spring. Cameron is In the Mercy hospital in New rk. preparing for an operation, and has written east expressing his views on the situa- tion.
 In part his letter follows:
 The last season was a bad year for every club in the United States, financially and otherwise. Connie Mack, with a winning club, did not make cent. and the Federals with all their boosting, lost a million. I cannot understand why some writers claim that if they invaded our ter ritory-the fans would be furnished with much faster ball than our league has been in the habit of giving them l cannot see it, as the majority of the games that I have attended at the Federal league park in Chicago were far from being as classy. As a re- suit poor crowds turned out after the first month and considerable money was lost.
 Story Makes Him Smile
 The story being circulated to the effect that the Feds would have rep resentation in such towns as Norwich New London, New Britain, Meriden and Danbury causes one to smile. ! Those towns never were good base ball towns and never will be. The Federals don't want any farms. l don't believe, as they are not developing youngsters. They are stealing them. Believe me, they don't care to lose money any more than anyone else
 If such a thing should happen that they invaded our territory and finally the whole affair was settled amicably and recognized by organized baseball, they would have to abide by all the laws. Further, our territorial rights would have to be considered Anyway, it will be the best thing for all concerned when the whole bust- ness is settled. I sincerely hope it
