New York, Oct 4-AIthough thirty one years have elapsed since the first battle for the baseball championship of the world was won by the Provi- dence R. I. tsGrays'' there were several years in which the struggle was not repeated so that the coming contest between the Boston Red Sox and the Philadelphia Nationals will be the .twenty-fourth series to be played for the premier title of the diamond. The inaugural contest in 1884 was won by the Rhode Island team, then cham pions of the National League, in three straight games from the Metropo1i- tans, the standard bearers of the old American Association of that year. Unavoida bIe Iapses occurred in eight of the subsequent seasons There was no competition for the worlds honor in 1891 or 1893. There was also a five year lapse from 1898 to 1902 in elusive, but in 1908 the Boston Amer jeans beat, the Pittsburgh Nationals years championship was claimed by the Boston Red Sox by default as the New York National League club would not permit it's 1904 pennant winners to play the American League cham pions.
 In 1905, however, the two major leagues arrvied at an understanding after the matter had been thoroughly discussed during the winter months, and the worlds championship com petition was placed on a solid basis. The National Commission assumed control of the annual series and made it compulsory for the pennant winning clubs in each league to have. their teams meet at the close of the play ing season every year, the worlds title to go to the club winning four out of seven games. Rules were adopted by the National Commission which gov erned everything connected with the post-seasonS battles. Arran gements were completed regarding the dis bursement of the gate receipts between the wipning and losing players, the club owners and the National Commis-

Kid Williams Wants Another Match With
 Western Boxer, Ertle

New York. Oct 4=Sammy Harris, manager of Kid Williams, the bantam weight champion of the world, is up in arms. To begin with, he. laughs to scorn the statements of those who declare that his champion fouIed .IoI,Dnv F,rtle. the western bantam weight and almost goes into mysteries when Ert1e is called the champion. And sammy has stiH another griev@s ance. He insists that Williams is still able to make I16 pounds rinSside, and fight for any number Of rounds, and is willing to back all his Statements with a substantial wager
 Harris who is now in this city, was quite willing to discuss the bout be- tween williams and Ertle, and in branding, the whole affair swindle prdduced much scorroborative evi- dence in the nature of newspape clippings
 z One paper, The Twin City Re- porter.'4 of Minneapolis, branded the fight as one of the srankest steals ever perpetrated in the history of boxing, and declared that boxing in the Mid de West had. received a, black eye It went on to say that Williams had all. thes better of the bout up to the time the works were uncovered.
 sSsAII this chatter about Ertle being a better boy than the Kid makes me laugh said Harris. 4.In tell you what I,Il,fdo with him. If Ertle will visit New | ork. Philadelpfaia New Orleans, or any other city than St Paul I will make a match at 116 pounds ringside, and will forfeit $500 if Williams does not defeat him to the satisfaction of all concerned If the match is of ten rounds, or over, I will bet $500 that WilIa ms wins by a knockout,
 ."The whole sum and substance of the matter is that we were framed from. start to finish, and Williams was robbed of a clean knockout.

COACHES AT YALE SORE AS STUDENTS
 CALL FOR LIE CORE

New Haven, Oct. 4-While no in juries were found on the Yale football players yesterday when the trainers looked them over to discover traces of the defeat at thes hands of Virginfa' there were plenty of injured feelings. The players believe that the team made showing much inferior to it's possibilities, the coaches are disp1eased in. the lack of confidence shown in them by the crowd which Saturday shouted Justify for Le Gore to be sent into the game after Virginia had scored.
 It is reported that the coaches feel that the undergraduates should have realized that the seasons policy that has been mapped out is better known to the coaches than, to the players, and that Yale tradition was shattered when the students at the game inter fered with the coaches plans to the extent of shouting for the advent of some player whom the coaches, for their own reasons, did not wish, at that time, to injest into the game.
 It was stated on high authority last night that there is no lack of harmony between the football administration and I4e Gore, that Captain Wilson and Head Coach Hinkey have talked with him and all three ,sare agreed on the plan to pursue with regard to his case, which included playing on the second eleven for time.
 It is also asserted that Le Gore, al- though in uniform Saturday, has not recovered from a slight injury he re- eeived in mid-week although he will probably be in condition to play again by mid-week. In view of certain on1fs- sionS Of team play last season it was deemed best to give him a short men tai conditioning process. Talk that the coaches might regard the calling for LeGore as sufficient cause of resigning was asserted entirely without founda- ton.
 The coaches formally denied that JIlere would be any shakezup- in the eleven a result of the upset at the hands of Virginia, although the eleven is entirely in the forma tive state. as regards plays and players and both will be revised throughout the season.
 Cari Betts. Claude Black Walter McGrath and Rex Hutchinson will probably be declared eligible this week and the situation improved before the Lehigh game next Saturday.

DUNDEE EXPECTS
 TO EARN $6O,OOO
 DURING NEXT YEAR

New York, Oct 4.-Johnny Dundee ring earnings before another year has passed, and as a starter expects to- bank at least $4,OOO after his bout with Willie Ritchie at Madison Square Garden next Thursday night. In the five years he has been boxing Dundee has earned $10O,OOO, having had over two hundred battles. He hopes to earn $5o,o0O more within the next twelve months.
 The Italian lightweight fought four teen battles to a decision and did not lose one of them. He held Johnny Kilbane to a twenty-round draw for the featherweight title, for which he received s3,5OO. Since then Dundee has fought the best hghtweights in the country and is one of the strong est contenders for the title today.

HARVARn'S COACH
 IS DISGUSTED AT
 WORK OF PLAYERS

Cambridge. Mass. Oct. 4.-Har- wards varsity eleven will find Coach Haughton a hard taskmaster this week. Haughton took no pains to conceal his disgust at the showing of his charges Saturday and several men are, due for a calling down.
 Outside of the opening period Har- wards offense showed little driving power. The defense at times faltered badly. The Aggies' centre trio raised havoc with the opposing Crimson forwards. Coach Reggie Brown viewed the Yale disaster, scouting on, Virginias whose team plays here two

It looks as if the days of easy pre- lininary games for the big college e1evens are past. That Yale was beaten by Virginia does not gloss over the fact that Harvard was hard press ed to defeat the Nassa chusetts Agri- cultural eleven by one touchdown and Princeton was outplayed by Rutgers the greater part of the game.
 YaIe's defeat was a heartbreal1er for the Eli rooters. F7umb1ing by the backf1e1d was partly due to the slip perry ball caused by the condition of the field but nevertheless the Yale line was sadly lacking in strength. Also Yale students broke precedent when they shouted we want Le- Gore It has always been a Yale custom to display loyalty to the ath 1etic administration. in public at least. Perhaps if the coaches had taken the undergraduates into their confidence by publicly announcing that LeGore was slightly injured the public might have been spared the demonstration against the men in charge of the squad.

 The New Y ork American yesterday told about some Bridgeporter who wrote to that paper declaring he would give big odds that Larry Doyle of the Giants would not finish one. two, three in hitting among the Ma tional league second basemen. Doyle and several others offered to take the bet but later the Bridgeporter wrote that somebody had been using his name without authority.

1834-Owen Moran, English boxer, born at Birmingham, Eng. Although only 31 today, Owen has seen all of his best days. He was born in a city which has turned out scores Of great fighters, including the celebrated Charlie Mitchell, and began boxing about IS years ago. In his pugilistic prime he was both clever and strong, but he lacked punch. At that, Owen has quite a few knockouts to his credit Five years ago. in San Fran cisco, the EngIishman put Battling Nelson to sleep, and that too, when the Dane was still good and had lost his lightweight title only a short time before. The little feet Britisher is the only guy who ever made the BattIer lie still for the count of ten. Owen also knocked out Frankie Neil and several other good boys. Moran himself has been knocked out only once in his career, and that was when Ad Wo1gast stopped him in the 13th chapter of a San Francisco fight back in 1911- When Moran fought Young Shrugrue in New ' ork early last year he was pounded, SO hard by the Jer- sey City boy that he had to quit in the 7th round.
