WORLDS RING BATTLE
 HAS WOMAN SPONSORS
Miss Anne Morgan and Miss Eliza beth Marbury Intend to See Big Bout.

It is enough to make Tom Ffgg turn over in his grave. The modern ring IS being elevated to a place which the most rabid dreamer never would have conceived. Two young American women with red blood coursing through their veins have declared themselves sponsors for the proposed international heavyweight bout be- tween Carpenter and Willard. Richly gowned women have pre- empted the ring seats at the Cirque re Paris during a boxing bout. Olympia in London has seated members of the royal family and women of distinction while Carpenter beat the heavyweight idol Bombardier Wells, but America is going them all one better Two so- ciety solons are going to handle the pursestrings of the ring contests of the century if the match is finally con- summated. As they are both business women, it means that minimum amount of dollars will filter out of the purse. They will see that the meshes are so small that not a jitney will get away.
 Miss Anne Morgan, who has inherit ed much of the business accumen of her father, the late J. Pierpont Nor agn, and Miss Elizabeth Marbury are the sponsors who have electrified the fstic world.
 Miss Morgan is treasurer of the American fund for the French wound. ed under the auspices of which it is hoped to bring Carpenter here. Miss Marbury, who Is also activey interest ed in the French fund, said that her interest in the proposed bout was solely to see that the $50,0OO which she hoped the fund would receive from the proceeds was properly handled

ONE TIME GIANT
 BOXING PROMOTER
"Mike" Doniin Trying to Mate
 Welsh and kilbane for Forty Rounds

Mike Donlin, one-time leading slugger of the New York Giants is fill ing 8 new role. He is a boxing pro- moter and he is trying to match Freddie" Welsh and Johnny Xiii bane for a forty round bout at Ha- vana, to be held some time in Febru- ary. However. there is little chance of the match being made, for Welsh demands $50,000, win, lost or draw
 Donlin is associated with Hugh Grant Browne and Charles HenshelI ,who ac- cording to Donlin, are building a big athletic arena in Havana, ten minutes ride from the heart of the city He says it is three million dollar prop osjtion, and will be the scene of horse racing, automobile racing, boxing and baseball. Donlin further declared that the arena is rapidly near completion, and taht the promoters have been promised that it will be completed in every detail early in January.
 We expect to start playing base ball there about January 10,'' said Mike" We will have two Cuban teams and one American team. We discussed this phase of the sporting programme with Mike" Cantillon and he thinks that his -brather "Joe'' will favor sending the Minneapolis team to Cuba to train for the American Association season. The Menneapolis club could engage games with the two Cuban teams on Saturdays, Sunday and Mon days. the three days that will be. de- voted to baseball, until about April l, arriving in time to open the American Association season about April 15.
 Welsh Wants Too Much
 Donlin had long conference with Harry Pollok, Welsh's manager. Pollok demanded $50,O0O for Welshs end. Donlin declared this was prohibitive.
 However, I intend to have another talk with Pollok" said Donlin, and we may be able to agree upon terms for a forty round championship bout with Kilbane. In the meantime I already have opened negotiations for a forty round bout between Frank Moran and Fred Fulton; in fact I have Moran's verbal agreement to go to Havana to fight Fulton.
 T have communicated with Fulton and expect an answer from him to- morrow or Saturday.
 My associates intend to make a big thing of this arena. They have studied conditions in Cuba and are convinced that there is a demand for just such place."
 Hugh Grant Browne is well known in sporting circles as the owner of a big stable of thoroughbreds and the owner of Brownleigh Park stud, at Goshen, N. Y. He is president of the DeVonshlre Racing Association, in On- tario. Henshell also has been connect ed with racing for some time. Browne has colt entered in the English Derby, 1917.
 T believe that MT. Browne intends to have some racing at his track when the present Havana meeting winds up, , continued Donlin. MT. Browne left here on Tuesday to go to Havana, and I will hear from him just as soon as he arrives. He told me that he would keep me posted on just how things were progressing.

COLGATE WANTS TO
 TAKE ON PENN University of California Also Anxious to Play Quakers.

Although the Penn football schedule will not be announced until after the election of a captain and manager, it was learned from a reliable source that number of big colleges are ne- gotiating with the Athletic committee with view of securing at least one or more dates on the Penn schedule
 The most important of these is said to be Colgate, which wants to play on Franklin Field. This season Colgate ranked with the best teams of the East. Another university that is anxious to enter into athletic rela- tions with Penn is California, which Andy Smith is coaching California will take on Penn in San Francisco or come East and play at Franklin Field, it is said on good authority. It is al so known that the Army and Navy would each like to get a two-year ar engagement with Penn
 Co-incident with the announcement of the Penn players who will journey across the continent to meet the foot ball team of the University of Oregon on New Years Day, Coach Bob Fol well declared that J. Howard Berry, the Red and Blue backfield star, had changed his mind and would be with the party when it leaves next Monday
