BROWN STRONGER
 THAN LAST YEAR;
 MAY DEFEAT YALE

Providence, R. l., Nov. 9-The Brown Varsity put in what will prob ably prove the most strenuous prac- ice of the week yesterday afternoon, following a vigorous dummy line scrimmage with a real scrimmage against a strong second team, using Yale lays and formations. The fea- that the Varsity made on it's 1-yard line, holding off charge after charge before the seconds could push the ball over, and then the touchdown was questionable. This, by the way, was the, only score of the afternoon, although the Varsity had the ball dangerously near it's opponents line on several occasions.
 Huggins directed the play of the ton, and the little fellow showed great skill in handling the team. Hillhouse was at full back and Pol lard and Annon were the halves, al- though the former retired in place of Eddie Murphy, who has been doing good work with the scrubs. Owing to Conroy's slight injury Murphy will probably be retained on the Varsity squad. Barring eleventh hour in tion for it's annual Yale clash Satur- day and will enter the game with plenty of confidence. Brown is un- occasionally much stronger than a year ago, when Yale was defeated.

providing, if they are lightweights, they make 133 pounds ringside. If they cannot make it, they will have to step into the welterweight class and I will have Ted Lewis, the worlds greatest fighting machine, give them boxing lesson, as he has already done to White."
 "It's an outrage to have boys like Ever Hammer, Charlie White, Benny Leonard and half dozen others back East cheating the public as to their real weights. Can you imagine light weights boxing at 13S pounds at o'clock, like Hammer and Leonard did. That brings them into the ring at 140 pounds or over. Lewis never weighs over that and still insists that he fight welterweights and middle weights
 "I intend to show up, with the help of the, press, the so-called lightweights and prove to you by putting up a sub stantial forfeit, that Yelling is the on- ly legitimate 133 pound lightweight, in the country to-day. My offer still goes for any man in the world, black or white who can scale 133 pounds ringside."

YALE PLANS USE
 OF SECOND STRING PLAYERS SATURDAY

New Haven, Nov. 9-Because of the poor physical condition of Taft, Gait, Bingham, Baldridge and LeGore, Yale will present largely a second-string eleven against Brown here next Satur- day. The first three named will be unable to play and Baldridge and Le- Gore will be used only for a short time, if they start scrimmaging. The Yale coaches regard it necessary to rest the regulars in order to insure perfect condition for the Princeton game next Saturday.
 Yesterday Yale presented a substi- ute eleven in a 20-minute practice game with the freshmen. The var sity succeeded in scoring only once, Ouartrback LaRoche taking the ball over the line. The feature of the practice was a 30yard end run by Ashley of the freshmen.
 The coaches decided to use Calla- han at guard, instead of at centre, and to retain Red Hutchinson at centre. Braden will start the Brown game in Hutchfnson's position at full back. The eleven which will be sent against Brown will not be selected until Fri day night.

GIANTS RELEASE PITCHER RITTER TO
 LOUISVILLE CLUB

New York. Nov. 9-Bil1 Ritter, the young Giant pitcher, who has been starting and finishing the last few seasons in New York toggery, serving intermediate terms in Toronto, Ro- chester, Harrisburg and Scranton, has been released to Louisville by the Giants, and this time Bill is gone for good. It is understood that he will help pay for Pitcher Jimmy Middle ton, Louisville'sN crack pitcher. The Giants already have sent Pitchers Rube Schauer, Emilio Palmero and Ralph Stroud, Outfelder Wade Killi- fer and Catcher Lew Wendell to Louis vile in payment for Middleton.
 Middleton, who was said to be the best minor league pitcher in the coun- try last season, has forwarded his contract for 1917 to the Giant offices. Pitcher Al Schacht, formerly of the Newark Indians, who was bothered with Q. poor arm last season and was released, will be given chance to show something in the Giants Marlin training camp next spring.

ANNIVERSARIES
 OF RING BATTLES

1S9S-Solly Smith defeated Willie Smith in eight rounds at London. This battle of the Smiths attracted quite bit of attention, although botIf@ of these fistic representatives of the worlds most numerous family are now we'll nigh forgotten. Solly, a Cal ifornian by birth, was featherweight champion of the world less than year later, defeating George Dixon in a 2O-round engagement in San Fran cisco. Solly had knocked out Dal Hawkins and Johnny Griffin and de- feated other good men when he first fought the Chocolate Drop in 1893 at Coney Island. Dixon stopped him in seven rounds on that occasion. Smith then fought draws with Young Griffo, George Lavigne and Frank Erne, and later with Johnny Lavack and Dolly Lyons, and defeated Willie Smith, earning the right to meet Dixon again. After becoming champion Solly fought draws with Eddie Santry and Tommy White, but in 1898 broke his arm in bout with Dave Sullivan and lost his title. Dave had no sooner got the crown adjusted on his head than Dixon took it away from him, and it remained on the Chocolate Drops kinky dome until Terry McGovern took it away from him in 1900.

PLAN THIRD MAJOR LEAGUE
 TO SAVE MINOR MACNATES
Will Take Best Cities From International and
 American Association Circuits.

represented at various times in both the National and American leagues.
 Ban Johnson, president of the Amer; ican league, and Ed Barrow, president of the. International league, already have talked over such a merger and it also has been discussed with men prominent in the American associa- tion. If the plan would succeed the league would be known as the Ameri- can association and Barrow would be elected president.
 If such a move is undertaken 1t will be the direct offshoot of the Federal league war of 1914 and 1915, which left the International league a wreck and tsill is being felt throughout the en- tire minor league belt. Prior to the big baseball war the International league was one of the most prosperous in the country, with franchises valued at from $10000 to $200, 900. The Fed eral league put big league notions into the heads of the fans in Baltimore, Newark and Buffalo, and when the baseball war was over they refused to go back to the International league. :.
 Something drastic must be done for the big minors, and major league rat ing may be the only way out of the difficulty. Should the International American association merger gu through the new league would imme- diately be exempt from the draft, and it may be given several years to build itself up to real major league strength. After such a term of years the league would be eligible for the worlds se- ries, and it would immediately have a on the National com-
