ANNIVERSARIES
 OF RING BATTLES

1879 Tom Johnson defeated Isaac. Perrins in,c 22r rounds. .Sat Ban bury,~7 England. This battle ranks among the classics of the prize ring. Tom Johnson was the champion of England, and by his prowess and honesty had rescued the ring from the degradation into which it had been sunken for many years. Per- rins, who sought to wrest the honors from Johnson, was 8 giant, feet 2 inches, and famed for his tremendous strength. He was backed by the sports of Birmingham, who were so confident that he was unbeatable that they offered odds of and to |. J ohnson was a clever ring general, and he confused his antagonist by dancing around him, much as Jim Corbett later worked the same trick with Sullivan. Slowly but surely he wore down the Birmingham. Goliath, and in the 62nd round he landed a blow square in the face that sent Per rins topping. to the ground, unable to rise. Throughout the long fight both men fought for the head, and few body punches were unchanged. 'Perrins never fought again, and Johnson, his head turned by the wor- ship of his admirers, plunged into dis sipation and soon lost the 1aure1s he had so ably defended.

CORNELL EXPECTS TO BEAT HARVARD
 ELEVEN TOMORROW

Ithaca, N. r., Oct. 22-"It will take all>that Harvard has to beat us,'' said Dr. Albert H. Sharpe, CornelFs head football coach, last evening in address ing crowd of 2,50o Cornell students who marched to the station to give the team it's biggest send-off in history. Tt will take all that Harvard has, repeated the Cornell leader, as the big crowd cheered itself hoarse.
 Tn all my fifteen years of experi- ence here this is the best lot of football material that has ever gone out f Ithaca said Dan. Reed, the veteran line coach.
 T promise that the team will do its very best, and we hope to bring that football here to add to our trophies i'll Schoellkopf haIl,'' said Captain Bar rett.
 This was the optimistic tenor of the farewell speeches made by the leaders of the Cornell football team just be- fore the squad left for Cambridge While pr. Sharpe and his assistants are not confident of a victory they ex- pect a tight game, and they are sure that Cornell will score both by touch downs and field goals.

AINSMITH OF SENATORS MAY
 60 TO BRAVES

New York. Oct. 22-Eddie Ain smith may join the Boston Braves. Gossip has it that he will not be with the Washington club next season, as the climate of this city disagrees with him and is said to be the reason why his work has been affected. Clark Griffith is not anxious to leave Ain smith go, he has been catching Walter Johnson for nearly five sea- sons
 According to reports President Gafney Of the Braves is eager to ob- tain Ainsnith's services, but the Braves will probably experience con siderable trouble getting him out of the American League.
 It was said at local headquarters that if Ainsrnith leaves the Senators theYankees in all probability would get him. Two other clubs in the Johnson circuit could make good use of Eddie -Ainsrnith has a contract calling for a big salary, and that might cause the Tanks and the other American League clubs to hesitate be- fore putting in a claim for him

The local basketball season will open with a crash on Novem Der 3 when the Blue Ribbons, who cleaned up all com CTS last year, will wheel into action. Manager John I4eavy says he has re- ceived the signed contracts of Jimmy Clinton and Johnny Beckman; the crack. forwards, and expects to get the other stars in line before the open ing game. Clinton and Beckman are two of the best shooters ever seen in this city. They have made themselves favorites with the fans and will be welcomed back.
 Having disposed of all corners last season the Ribbons will be out to win the championship another. time. Strong teams will be booked and the fanc will be sure to find excitement at Colo niaI hall where contests will, be staged every Tuesday night
 Yale men have been inSinuating that certain Harvard athletes have been receiving board and salary for acting as assistants in boys summer camps. The New, Haven co1Iegians won't be able to do much along that line for Capt Wilson of Yale was sta toned last summer in boys camp along the Connecticut river.
 In a few days Princeton will ask Harvard to number the Crimson players in the game at Princeton next month and the. request will no doubt be politely turned down by Harvard

TIGERS AND YALE
 SAY WALLACE OF
 HARVARD ELIGIBLE

Cambridge, Mass, Oct. 22.-The liar ward Athletic Comnitteee announced last evening that, after due considera- ton and conference with the Yale and Princeton athletic authorities, Don J. Wallace, last years Varsity center rushh, had been declared eligible to play with the University team this fall Wallace came to Cambridge from the University of Southern Cali fornia three years ago, and while on the Coast played soccer football for his university.
 The Harvard \. A. eontends that playing soccer, which is considered a minor sport, should not make Wallace ineligible to play three years of Rugby football at Cambridge. The commit tee decided that, according to the liar yard rules, Wallace was eligible, but put the matter up to Yale and Prince ton. The Tigers several days ago sent word that Wallace was regarded as eligible to play against themy and last night word to the same effect was re- ceived from those in authority at New Haven.
 Wallace has been keeping in trim all fall, and is ready to get into the liar yard lineup at any time. Just where he will be used, however, probably will not be decided until after the Cornell game on Saturday.

MORAN WANTS
 MORE SALARY
 FROM PHILLIPS

New York, Oct 22-stories from Philadelphia that Pat Moran, who led the Philadelphia Nationals to the lrst pennant they ever wen, had signed as manager for next year are all wrong As matter of fact, Moran left for his home in Fitchburg,. Mass, without signing the papers. Moran had several conferences with William r. Baker owner of the Phillies, before leaving, but evidently they failed to cone to an understanding.
 No doubt money is at the bottom Of their differences. Moran, it is said on good authority, became manager at the same salary for which he acted as a coach, and he was only too wiIliI 2 to stay at the old stipend in order to get chance at the big job. Now that he has made good in his first attempt Pat no doubt feels that he is entitled to a sizab1e raise in salary.
 By winning the National League pennant this year Moran stunned the entire baseball world. Probably no championship won in years has been more of managers personal triumph than Moran's victory this year.
 Of course, Moran will not manage the Phils in 1916 for the same money he received in 1915, anything like it. He worked for nominal salary this year, and the stockholders who were enF1cnod 10 the extent or S71,OOO in the worlds series. alone because of Moran's generalship and ability will have to come across with an adequate salary to hold him.
 Moran has every fan in the city at his feet and is in the position of nam ing his own terms To be turned down by the club would mean the ruin of the Phi1s.4. s -.,,--s... :,
 In this respect it might be apropos to say that Moran was never the first choice of the club as the successor to Charles Dooin. Hans Lobert was first appointed, but a number of the leading players mutined and declared they would play under nobody except Moran.
 The club saw the players meant business, so Moran received the ap- pointment instead of Irobert, and then went in and won the only pennant the Phils have captured in thirty-three years

HARVARD ASKS TO

Moore, graduate manager Of athletics at liar ward, saying t4atsat a meeting of Har- ward men connected with athletics it was decided to petition bean Briggs to write to Professor Corwin. chair man of the Yale University Athletic association, asking that Captain Mil burn, LeGore, Rhett, Easton and Pumpel1y be reinstated and permit ted to compete in intercollegiate ath- 1etics. Manager Darlington said that it was likely that Dean Briggs had written to that 'edect4s
 Tt was reper ted sestefaay that a similar move15selat was t1nderway at Princeton and the authorities there will send a petition asking that the men be permitted to play
 John R. Fitzpatrick, a member o1 the Yale eligibility committee, said that the only hope that Yale had of using the men disqualified was to have Harvard and Princeton make a request
 II this is true and the eligibility cofamittee anHH1s their action there will be a great joy in the Eli grid iron camp to have the great fullback ons the team once more, as well.as the nucleus of next springs baseball team. The undergraduates are all up in the air over the unfortunate situation and the most absurd ru- mors have been in effect for days
