LIVELY BOUTS AT
 CASINO PLEASING
 TO LARGE CROWD
(By Wagner.

If Jimmy Fasane, the ''Walloping Wop' of Waterbury ever gets tired of ] dancing around the ring he can get a,~job riding a camel in *'The Garden of Allah He had a great Arabian
 makeup last night when he arrived
 in the ring at the Casino with a, towel
 draped about his swarthy counten- ance. In fact he looked just like 8 son ' of the desert waiting for the sands of the desert to grow cold. He
 was only one of the many artistic features presented to the fans in the Liberty A. C.. show.
 I The best dish on the menu was the 15 round engagement between Young
 McAuliffe and Bud Palmer. These youn gSters put up a rattiing exhibi- tion from bell to bell. Palmer made a much better showing that was o-<
 pected. He was always willing to mix it with McAu1iffe until the last two rounds and he displayed considerable .cleverness in evading Macs wicked blows.
 MeAuIiffe was at great disad- vantage in taking on a boxer of Pal mer's type. In the first place he is not at his best when boxing over 130 and also the fact that Palmer is so much taller also handicapped Mac. He had difficulty in reaching Palmer. MeAuliffe fought p1uckily and in the last round had made such a whiFI- wind finish that he had Palmer hold ing on in an effort to avoid a, knock out. Palmer had the better of the earlier rounds, however, and under the circumstances a draw is a fair verdict for the bout
 The semi-fina1 betweeen Jimmy Fa,- sane and Young Bosse was a strange extraVaganza- Every time Bosse looked at Fasane's weird collection of features he had to turn sadly away. For Jimmy is no Lillian Russell for beauty. The result was that Bosse did not display his usual brand of wares and could not get better than a draw. Fasane danced, pranced, shrugged his shoulders and climbed up on Bosses frame. You might say Jimmy was a young man climbing rapidly in his chosen profession He did everything in the ring but sing a song.
 Teddy Fabryck beat Jimmy Snyder in the second bout of the evening. It was s1ugging match all through and had the fans on their feet giving vent to ye11s of satisfaction. Snyder indi- cated that he is a g1utton for punish nent for he took some terrible swats. He also unused Fabryck's features but on the whole Fabryck deserved the 1aure1s.
 @ In the first bout Willie Mclean and Young Dundee mixed it up in spirit ed fashion. Willie Mclean started well but Dundee finished strongly and was entitled to a draw.
 There was a large crowd on hand for the show Matchmaker Holmes had everything arranged in satisfac- tory manner and the fans were we'll pleased. Each bout offered plenty of action. And if you wanted to laugh you could take a slant at the land scape effect on Jimmy Fasane's face.

ANNIVERSARIES
 OF ZINC BATTLES

19o1-George Dixon and Abe At tell fought 2O-round draw at Cripple Greek, Colo. Although Dixon had lost the featherweight title to Terry Mo Govern the previous year and no championship was involved. the con- test was highly interesting mark ing the rise of a coming champion and a\ decline of the powers of one of the Fc1everest little fellows who ever wore gloves. The negro and the Jew fought three times that year. Their first meeting. in Denver, went 10 rounds to a draw, and the Cripple Creek bout over the 20-round route had the same result. About a week later George and Abe fought a third time in St. Louis. and on this occa- sion the Hebrew triumphed and was given the decision at the end of Is rounds: That was the beginning of the end for poor little Dixon, and within a year thereafter he had been whipped by Austin Rice, Eddie @Lenny, Biz Mackey and Pedlar Palmer.
 19O8-Digger Stanley defeated Sam Ke11ar in 20 rounds at London.
 1909-Harry Lewis knocked out Dan Sullivan in first round at Boston.

MAGNATES IN SESSION HERE
 TO PLAN FOR 1916

Things looked bright for the fu- ture of the Eastern association after the annual meeting, which was held yesterday afternoon at The Stratfeld. It was said that a six club circuit would probably be formed for 1916 with Bridgeport, New Haven, Hart ford, New London, Springfield and Pittsfeld as the cities in the league.
 Phe rumor that New London was dissatisfied with conditions and would not start the season was dispelled by the presence of Charles Starr. president of the New London club, who said the Whaling City @9s ready to start. He declared the fans in New London were very enthusiastic about prospects for next year.
 Jack Teller, who represented Pitts field, also said he was pleased with the outlook. Secretary Hugh Reddy represented Bridgeport A telegram was read from Mike Finn, who wants the Springfield franchise. saying he would come here for the meeting if necessary.
 It is said that there will be no difficulty about placing franchises in New Haven and Springfield, but ar engagements for Hartford have not reached suehS a definite stage. Thom-

 born 63 years ago.
 He was at~his office in The Bronx for the last time one week ago today, Neuritis and rheumatism brought on heart trouble, to which he succum bed. Ward gained his fortune because he was a shreWd observer of the trend of the times. He watched the growing interest in sanitation and hygiene and the success of manufacturers in other lines who made a feature of a sanitary package. Then he built white tile, sun lit factories, dressed his employees in white, devised baking machinery whieh made it unnecessarily for human hands to touch the products from beginning to end of the baking process, and capped it by wrapping the bread and other products in Waxed paper, well sealed.
 Faced Price Investigation.
 He was accused last winter of order ing drivers to refuse to supply bread to retailers who would not charge 6 cents for a loaf. The investigation ended quickly, as did 6-cent bread.

 In the late ]ffties the whole. family went to Pittsburgh, and at 8 years old, because all adult employees enlisted in the Union army, Robert began work in the bakery. From that time until he was, 21 years old he kept at the work. Then he began business for himself, and soon, with George s. Ward his younger brother, formed the firm of R. B. Ward & Go. From this grew the Ward -Mackey company and the Ward Bread company, which was organized to supply the New York trade.
 Had Many Interests.
 At the time of his death R. B. Ward was president of the Ward Bread com pany of New York and interested in the Ohio Bread company of, Cleveland the Ward -Mackey. company of Pitts burgh, the fWard-Crosby. company in Chicago, Providence and Boston. He was vice president of the Liberty Ma tiona1 bank, the Liberty Savings bank and a directpr in the Franklin Savings and Trust company of Pittsburg- He had served as president of the common council of Pittsburgh. as-.

MeCABE, ST. LOUIS STAR, WAS SECURED FOR ONLY 75 CENTS

They may talk aboufN how cheap1y Connie Mack gets some of his stars,
 but when it comes to getting one for
 real bedrock Scout Charley Barrett of the St. Louis Browns thinks he holds the record in the case of Tim I McCabe, a big right-handed pitcher
 who went so well in the closing days
 of the American League season and later in the St. Louis city series that he
 is considered as "a find. Barrett says
 McCabe cost the total sum /of six bits
 and the scout got an afternoons en-
 tertainment for his expenditure to
 boot. .
 On a trip from St. Louis Scout Bar rett stopped off at Pennington, Mo, not far from St Louis, and in the
 players have come, including Jeff zTesreau and Barney Pelty. A county fair was on fand# a ball game was bill ed as a side attraction. Barrett sell dom misses a ball game, so out she went. He paid 50 cents to get Into the fair grounds, and after watching. a. clown do a few somersaults on load of hay and looking over he cows and chickens. Charley hunted up the ball game, which was to be played in a far corner of the grounds.
 He was held up for an additional quarter to get a seat in the stand at the game, and that represents the total of his expenditures as far McCabet enters into the story Me Cabe pitched for one of the teams and burned them over in such startling fashion that Charley got him off in a corner after the game and signed him then and there.
 The pitcher reported, was found not ripe, and was sent to Burlington, where last year he was nearly worked to death by that mule merchant, Tom Hayden. As a result, he was in no shape to show his stuff when recalled by the Browns, so last spring was sent to Decatur, where the club man agement used him with better judg- ment and working with capable catcher in O'Brien he developed rap idly Reporting to Manager Hickey at the end of the Three-I season he showed class right away. He pitched four games in the tailend of the sea son, won three of them and capped his good work by putting it over the Cardinals in the city series4~
 Barrett says he regarded his trip to the Pennington fair as a days re- creation, but finding business of sign ing player on hand he bought it only fair to put in a, bill of 75 cents to his club for expenses. It is not l recorded that President Hedges ob- l jected to the expense account in view of what the scout accomplished.

ADMITS ERROR IN PENALIZING YALE
 FOR ROUGH PLAY

New Haven Oct. 19-An hours sig
 nal rehearsal was ordered yesterday for the Yale football, squad. Seven
 ton was paid to the tackling, which has been poor at times. End Rush Allen and Tackle Chub Sheldon, were detained by recitations, Blodgett play ing right end and Schmidt left tackle. In the absence of Harry Le Gore, Ne vile was at ha1fback.
 Jim Sheldon, who was dismissed from the game Saturday, was at rig flt guard again and it was said that both Referee Bankart and Umpire Okeson admitted that mistake was made in disdualifying him and in penaliz- ing Yale 65 yards, half the distance tackled high in trying to block a Springfield player. who, was trying to crawl along after being tackled. Ref cree Bankart ordered the penalty, q decision which was not concurred in by Okeson. After the game Bankart admitted that he had been wrong in ordering it.
 Yale football player and general foot ball tactician, is one of the men Coach called on this season to come back to college and help coach the team to victory Things Have looked particularly blue this season, as Yale material has appeared unusually weak and Hinkey has felt that he needed all the support he could get from the alumni to turn out victorious team Glass responded to the call 10 days ago, and spent quite a, little time go- ing over the plays. He found that FIinkey had the coaching positions well covered and so he did not con tinue on the field. He expects to go down occasionally, but if he does it will only be for very short intervals.

1 of the Junior Prom Committee. the chief undergraduate honor. The action of the committee means that Yale will have to find an en-
 tire1y new baseball team and. a new captain, Milburn having been one of the offenders
 Milburn, LeGore, Easton, PumpelIy and Rhett, along with John Reilly, now a subway guard; Louis Middle brook of last years nine, Bernie Tom lners, assistant coach of the Yale baseball team, and several others played baseball at Quogue and failed to pay their board up to the latter part of July, when their attention was called to Rule of the eligibility rules, which provides in part that college baseball players shall not play sum Tner ball for board. After that they paid board and offered to pay for the period before.
 AsAthe violation was because of ig- norance, that was expected to be the end of the<matter, but Princeton grad uates, it is understood, called atten- ton to the matter at Princeton. The matter was also called to the atten- tion of the Yale authorities and for several weeks has been the subject Of much correspondence and many con ferences.
 z A formal announcement is expected soon, but LeGore. has been informed Of the decision adverse to his future collegiate athletic activities, and he and Easton, very good substitute haIfback of the eleven, are no longer to be with it.
 Princeton men were interested in having a sgoodh baseball team at Quogue during 4he past summer and the feeling here is very bitter as the result of the action of Princeton. Capt. MiIburn played second base, Phi 1x1 foI3a 7 Easton, Rhett and LeGore played the outfe1d.

Easton and Rhett of the varsity nine, were declared ineligible because of playing summer baseball the past sea son at Quogue, L.. Ill., and sdisqua lifted from all future competition ins Yale athletics
 The Yale Eligibility Committee took
 this action after long deliberation. The five athletes violated the inter- collegiate agreement by accepting their board without charge for a part of the summer
 The matter has been given serious consideration by the Yale auth critics for several weeks, and the fact that IeGoreis eligibility might be qI1es- toned has been one reason that he has been kept on the second team It was thought that because the viola ton was plainly technical. it might be waived by the authorities of Princeton and Harvard, but in the case of the former this was not done, and LeGore and the other. baseball men are definitely barred from all college athletics. H
 LeGore is a Junior and the greatest football back since Ted Coy. s With. two more years it was expected he would be of the greatest stars that ever played. He went to Lafayette for a year before coming to Yale in 19f3
 Last year, as a sophomore, he was the star of the varsity.

 PACIFIC COAST LEAGUE

New York, Oct. 19-Harry Spar row, business manager of the New York American Club, announced yes- terdays that the Tanks had received the signed contract of Bill Piercy. the sensational 2kid'' pitcher of the Vernon Club of the Pacific Coast League. Several clubs, including the Tanks, wanted to purchase the young ster before the drafting season be- gan, but the officials of the Vernon club asked $7.5O0 for Piercy's ser vices.
 These figures were a little toe steep for the magnates, and nearly every club in the two leagues put in draft for him. The Tanks were more for tunate than the other clubs and were awarded the pitcher for the sum of s2,500.
 The records show that Pierey pitch ed in ferty-five games this season. His record is given sixteen won and thirteen lost. Piercy is only nineteen years old and stands over six feet
