IS BOXING DISCRIMINATING?

Old timers of the fistic game never tire of telling how much better the boxers of ten, twenty or thirty years ago were than the present crop. John l.. Sullivan and Ruby Robert Fftzim- mons bob into print every once in while to express their contempt for latter day fighters. Charlie Mitchell and Jack McAuliffe are the latest veterans to take a whack at the mod ern game and it's opponents
 Mitchell, who fought Sullivan thir- ty-nine rounds to a draw in France back in '8S, recently paid visit to America for the first time in ten years Charlie was only a middle weight, but in his prime he was easily the greatest boxer in the business
 'The boxers of today are bally sad lot, with a few exceptions" quoth the veteran. "All they do is clinch and cuddle and dance, When they're not hugging each other they are giv- ing an imitation of Russian dancer. It makes me lawf."
 Jack McAuliffe the old lightweight champion. is equally peeved at the scrappers of the present. "Commer- cialism is ruining the game" declared Williamsburg Jack. "The fighters are all money mad, and all they think of is grabbing the, ka1e. If they don't let up and give the public a run for its coin they are going to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs"
 The public, we gather. Is the goose. Sometimes we think 50.

TO TRADE SEVEN Y OF ST. LOUIS CLUB
 OWNERS THREAT

St. Louis, Oct. 6-The failure of the Cardinals to do better than tie Gin cinnati for last place in the National league has aroused Schuyler Britton, the owner.
 '-The Cards need a thorough housecleaning," said Britton yester- day. About seven of the regulars have outlived their usefulness in St. Louis. Huggins will trot forth some new faces next spring. The Cards lost sixteen and won two games on the final trip away from home. No won der the club landed in the cellar.
 Eighth place is no position for club boosting of $90,000 payroll. We started the season with one of the highest salaried teams in the National league. New York, Boston, Chicago and Cincinnati may have topped St. Louis I can't name another team in the league with a larger payroll. We saved some money by selling Har- ry Sallee to the Giants Slim was drawing s6,ooo.
 "Bescher is the only member of the team whose contract does not expire this fall. I'm in favor of general cleanup. When the city series is over we'll frame up some trades. We have number of players who may prosper W. .sh other clubs"

PIPP BEST HOME
 RUN CATERER IN AMERICAN LEAGUE

New York, Oct. 6.-In addition to finishing in the first division for the first time since 1910, the Yankees also have the leading home run hitter 'of the league. Pipp's mark of twelve home runs in 8 year stands out as one of the best records for long distance hitting that any player has made in years. The feats of Cactus Cravath in recent seasons at tho Phillies grounds makes Pipp's mark appear small, but a comparison of Pipp's work with that of other American League sluggers in the past twelve years gives it different color:
 For several seasons past home runs have been less plentiful along the American League circuit than in the National League. In the past twelve years no American Leaguer has col lected more than twelve home runs in one campaign5 and only twice has the figure been reached. Harry Davis got twelve in 1906 and Frank Baker hit the same number in 1913.
 The Trappe fence buster never got more than twelve in a season. Sam Crs wford, Ty Cobb, Jake Stahl, and others who have led the American League in circuit clouts closed their winning seasons with less than twelve.

ANNIVERSARIES
 OF RING BATTLES

1899-George McFadden knocked out George Lavigne in 18th round at New York. This bout was staged just a few months after Lavigne had lost the lightweight title to Frank Erno in Buffalo. The same year McFadden knocked out Joe Cans in the 23rd round. Elbows" McFad- den was without doubt one of the greatest lightweights in ring history. and he was very unluckyN in scoring his victories over his leading rivals at a time when the championship was not involved. The champions were mighty careful about risking their ti- ties against Elbows, who was one of the greatest defensive boxers who ever lived, and game and aggressive as well. Kid Lavigne had never been knocked out up to the time he fought McFadden, having lost his title to Erne on a decision after 20 rounds had been fought. Lavigne's second experience of a knockout came in 1902. when Jimmy Britt put him to sleep in pounds at San Francisco. Lavigne then retired but in 1907 he was again knocked out by Young Erne in Philadelphia, while attempt ing to pull off a comeback.

BROOKLYN HAS STREET PARADE
 FOR BALL CLUB

New York, Oct. 6.-There will not be a reserved seat ticket for the worlds series at either Braves Field or Ebbets Field for sale on the days of the first games at the two parks except those which may fall into the hands of scalpers from the indications yesterday from Boston and Brooklyn reports. Practically all of the 15,00O seats which will be- reserved at Ebbets Field are covered by applications, which are still pouring in. In fact, checks and money orders are reach- ing the Brooklyn headquarters in such numbers that the officials are virtual ly swamped.
 Hundreds of letters from persons desiring the valued tickets have gone unopened, for the Brooklyn authori- ties know that they cannot supply the inclosed demands. Nearly 1.500 extra box seats will be placed on the field for the first game, and there probably will be 1 300 circus seats constructed in left field. These extra accommoda- tions will bring the capacity of E5bets Field up to about 27,000.
 The same conditions exist in Boston Allotment of the 27,O0O reserved seat tickets for Braves Field was completed yesterday. The available reservations were oversubscribed so greatly that many persons who asked for a modest pair of seats were allowed but enc, while others, asking six and eight, in some instances received only a pair.
 The old days of black-face minstrels and of the circus back home were re- vived in Brooklyn this morning, when the victorious Robins, accompanied by blaring bands and bowling mobs, and by many of the leading Brooklyn City officials, started for Boston to engage the Red Sox.
 The players gathered at Ebbets Field in the morning, and as soon as the roster was complete the band struck up a martial tune, and the players took automobiles.
 Charles Evans Hughes. the Repub- ican candidate for President may throw out the first ball at Ebbets Field for the first game of the worlds series there. MT. Hughes has applied through the regular channels for a box seat on the third base side of the infield, and the request has been granted by the club officials.
 Betting was somewhat brisker yes- terday, but few big wagers were re- corded in New York. The Red Sox continued to rule 10 to favorites, but despite their faith in the Robins, Brooklyn supporters want 10 to or better. From Boston comes a report that one-bet of $2e,99e to S14,OO0 had been placed.

M 'GRAW NOT TO QUIT CLUB
 SAYS OFFICIAL

New York, Oct. 6--John J. McGraw will manage the New York Giants next year, all reports to the contrary not withstanding. This was the word of John B. Foster, secretary of the New York club, who said yesterday that all talk of Harry N. Hampstead and his manager being. at odds was so much "bunk." He added:
 "McGraw was at the office yesterday and left to keep an appointment with his dentist. He has already gone over plans for next year with MT. Hempt- stead and has high hopes of leading the Giants to a pennant.
 "McGraw got temporary leave of absence from MT. Hampstead before he left the bench in that game in Brooklyn last Tuesday. His contract with the New York club has another year to run and it is not fair to him or to the Giants to have these wild rumors spread broadcast that he will not be with the team next year."

Day and Henry W, Hobson, which will result in the appointment of the Board of Control of seventeen persons next week to have entire charge of all Yale athletic matters, made public today for the first time. roundly scores the | expense os college athletics at the expensive coaching staffs. After go- 7 ing thoroughly into the situation the report closes:
 ''Thss committee desires to call the attention of the corporation of the continually Increasing competition for supremacy among rival universities, as erer,plified in the employment of expensive staffs of coaches
 '-The budget for Yale football coaching for one year alone is con- siderable, and this money is expend- ed in the employment of a small num- Der of men for the period of only a few weeks out of the year. The ex- penses of the coaching of the crew are approximately large. although at present 8 considerable sum of money is contributed by graduates to that end We are given to understand that large sAns of money are contributed for similar purposes by graduates at other universities
 "In fact, the intensity of this rivalry, If unchecked, may so increase as to make intercollegiate athletics an un- profitable scramble for the raising of huge sums of money for the payment of the dispropordonAte salaries de- uanded by expert coaches

YALE READY TO
 PLAY FAST VIRGINIA ELEVEN TOMORROW

New Haven, Conn.,, Oct. 6.-The heaviest days scrimmage program of the week for the Yale eleven was car- ried out yesterday, when the Varsity faced the scrubs for forty minutes and was able to penetrate their trenches only once. Bob Bingham went over the line for a touchdown. For the first time in nearly fortnight the gates of Yale Field were closed, but the Var sity tried no trick football. The policy announced by the new coaching re- gime of relying on straight and fast football until the makeup of the team is well established and the preliminary games are played, will be followed.
 For the afternoon backfield change went into effect, Hutchinson and Me- vile placing Jacques and Legore, who have been subjected to hard wear all the week and who are badly needed as Yale's most consistent ground gain CTS in the backffeld Saturday against University of Virginia. In the rush. line a new centre, Avery. was tried. Callahan and Vorys are still on the sidelines because of injuries, and neither Maurice Smith na Ross, who have been tried at snapback the past week. has filled the bill as regards ac- curacy in passing.
 Avery's play in this respect was also unsatisfactory and the coaches would welcome a return of one of the two experienced centres who are now crip- pied.
 / Charley Comerford. Freshman cap tain last year, went back to right end and will probably be started in Satur- days game. although he was replaced by Church in the middle of the drill. Mosely succeeded Gates at left end during the latter half of yesterdays matinee.
 Captain Black has not been in the lineup since the game with Carnegie last Saturday, but Trainer John Mack ex-acts him to start the play against Virginia. Material for both the t. ckle and guLrd is scant. It was announced that Charley Taft, son of the ex-Pres- lent, had undergone a slight opera ton because of an infected toe. and would be unable to play for perhaps two weeks. He was first substitute

Oct. 6-Chick Brown, idol of New Haven boxing fans, was given the decision over Pete Hartley, of New York, at the conclusion of a 12-round bout at the Arena last night Brown captured honors in five rounds three went to Hartley, while four were about even. Brown, by his victory evened up the score with Hartley who gave him terrible iacing at the Casino about a year ago.
 Although both Brown and Hartley gave the best that was in them, the bout hardly came up to expectations, Hartley failed to show up to his best form, while Brown was not the i'm proved boxer that advance reports would indicate. Browns chief wea- pon was that celebrated left which alone carried him te victory,

ARE GIANTS WRECKED?

Will the great team that the Giants built up at such enormous expense go bad next season because of Mo Graw's recent outbreak? That ques- being asked iA sporting circles and there are many who fear the hopes of 1917 pennant for New York have been already wrecked.
 Giant players, particularly Fetch CT, Perritt and Benton, are said to be so incensed over McGrew's charge of quitting to Brooklyn that there will undou btedly be dissension in the club next year. Tn some quarters it is rumored the players have announced they won't stand for McGraw as man. ager and Charley Herzog may succeed him. Not much credit is given to this yarn, however. McGraw's con- tract has another year ta run. It is known that Owner Con1iskey of the White Sox stands ready to give Nc Graw a job any time and there are probably other club owners who would sign him in a minute. McGraw has an honorable record in baseball and the majority of fans applaud him for rebuking the Giants indifferent play ing against Brooklyn
