Smashing gains by the Russians in
the Riga sector, where they broke the
German line on 30-mile front, and a
further advance south Of Berestechk,

COWIlER BEATS SMITH.

Rochester, N Y, Dec. 26.-In one of the fastest bouts ever seen here, Tom Cowler, English heavyweight, won on points in ten rounds yester- day afternoon from Gunboat Smith at the Flower City A. c. The men battled like lightweights all the way. Cowler did practically all of the lead ing and scored often with his left hand. Smith displayed great ring generalship, Of a sufficient calibre to reduce the margin of advantage that twenty-four pounds in weight gave his opponent. Smith depended mostly on a right hand haymaker, but he landed seldom.

Connie Mack Tells President Tener
 That Local Boy Has Great Possi-
 bilities-Reds Look Much Stronger.
 While every one is predicting that the Eastern National league clubs will again wipe the Western teams off the map, President Tener does not con- picted. Tener admits the subject came up for informal discussion at the league meeting, but intimated one cannot strengthen teams by legislation
 I believe the West will show much more strength than any one believes" |" said Tener. ''I believe Mitchell is just the manager the Chicago club needs and 1 think he will have rat tling good team. r realize, though, that much will depend on how Doyle and Safer will show up next season.
 However, the Western team I am enthusiastic about is the Cincinnati club. I honestly believe that club is due and will be the surprise of the next race. Take that Cincinnati club apart and you will find it is a mighty fine ball club. With one or two posi- tions strengthened I think it will be Up with the best
 ''The club has two big stars in the infleld in Chase and Groh. The club has Kopf, formerly of the Athletics, at short. I asked Connie Mack about this boy and he tells me Kopf has great possibilities, but doesn't like to be told what to do. believe his season in Baltimore has cured him, and International league men tell me he fielded in that league like a Maranville.
 "I suppose McKechnie will play third base. In the outfield Mathew son has Roush, Griffith, Neale and a youngster, Smith, who has shown much hitting ability in the Interna- tional league.
 '"The pitching staff will be built around Schneider, Toney and Mitchell Schneider improved wonderfully under Matty's guidance last fall and I think he is a coming sensation of the league Wingo is a good catcher, but I would rather see little wider awake mar regularly behind the bat But no one can tell me that the club is a pool one. Take my tip. Watch Cincinnati next season."

CARPENTIER-DARCY
 BOUT PROBABLE
French Champion Awaits Fur
 tough to Come Here

New York, Dec. 26.-Not only has Tex Rickard outgeneraled his rivals, in the matter of getting Les Darcy into the Rickard-M cCracken camp, but he has beaten them to a. fraz- gle so far as Georges Carpenter Is concerned
 It developed yesterday that the con- tract sent by the promoter to the French champion had been signed and was on it's way here by mail. The only thing that delays Carpentiers
 departure for New York is the red tape incident to getting his leave of absence from the military authorities.
 As powerful interests are working to that end, there is small doubt that 1 the furlough will soon be granted and | that a second foreign champion will
 arrive on Manhattan Island. It is
 foregone conclusion that the first match to be staged by Rickard will be one between Darcy and Carpen-
 tier, as Willard, owing to the exorb- itant demands of his managers has been sidetracked by the promoter. From all points of view a Carpen- tier-Darcy match will be the better. It is questionable if a Willard-Car- pentier match would be a good one even from a box office standpoint, as the disparity in size would initiate against keen interest in the bout. On the other hand there probably would not be more than ten pounds differ
 ence between Darcy and Carpentier, which would not be much of a handi- l cap to man of Darcy's combative
 disposition and physical ruggedness. contest between Darcy and Carr 1 pentier would be sure to create in- i tense interest, for it would be battle l between particularly skillful boxer
 with good punch and a heavy hit-
 ting fighter who never has been | knocked off his feet
 If the bout went the ten rounds ] there is small doubt that the French
 man would be the winner and the
 only question would be the ability of
 Darcy to drive home one of the
 crushing blows that laid low McGoor-
 ty, Chip and other husky, fighters.

Chicago, Dec. 26.-Although the meeting of the American league mag mates held here recently is now a thing of the past. the local fans are still commenting on the businesslikc manner in which the junior baseball organization handled their affairs. All the big and small matters were pass ed upon and their troubles were thrashed out in masterly style with out any noise. Ban Johnson has a wonderfully organized league, say the experts. One of the most interesting scenes at the recent conclave was the hobnobbing of Connie Mack manager of the Philadelphia Athletics, and Charley Comiskey, owner of the Chi cago White SoX. The pair were con- stantly together during the entire ses- sion-in fact. before and after Ex-

COLGATE'S DATES RESTRICTED

Hamilton, N Y., Dec. 26-By a ruling of the faculty at Colgate the Thanksgiving Day game of football by the varsity team will be cut out in the future. The reason Is that it gets so cold up at Hamilton by mid November that snowfalls interfere with team practice, and the students as they did this fall-have to go to a. more southern and warmer climate for the finishing touches of their work for a game on Thanksgiving, and so lose several days of study and recitations.

It is said that the English recruiting bureau turned him down as not physically fit to enlist in the British army.

C0RNELL'S NEW RULING
Students Must Secure Faculty Permits sion to Participate in Sports Other Than College Games.

Ithaca, Dec 26.-In an official effort to curb the evil of summer baseball, Cornell has made a radical change in the eligibility rules for the coming year. Under the new rule, which goes into effect on January 1, permission from the university faculty. committee on student affairs is re- quired before 8 student may play in any baseball contest at which admis- sion is charged to the field or stand, except as a member of the college team
 A violation Of this will be taken as prlma facie evidence that remunera- ton was received, and the student be- comes ineligible to represent the uni- versity. If, however, a sufficient reason for failure to obtain the re- quired permission is presented the committee on student affairs the students eligibility may be restored, The rules governing freshmen have also been made to conform to this principle.

 they talked over old times and noth- ing else. COmiHkY and Mack are two of the oldest American league stand bys and have had much to do with the leagues success. The former has probably spent more money than any

Of all games, golf has the greatest range. John Ball won two champion ships "A years apart-something that could never have happened in any other game. At the recent golf cham ionsh1p the youngest entry was four teen-the oldest sixty-one--a gap of forty-seven years. Certainly no other game could produce any such broa d range. This in one measure accounts for the popularity of golf. It is one game of them all that a player can still hold after he has passed fifty, de- pending as it does more on muscular and mental control than upon physical strength.

Those who are planning their New have steeIed their mentalities or such for a decided change from the older to produce an original mode of living for 1917.
 Briefly, those who have decided to adopt new standard might well con sider the following suggestions:
 1. The Fan-To always in future say "Attaboy' as the home bas run ner slides safely back to first.
 }. The Golfer-To explain in de- tail after a round just how he could sinking puts he could have kicked In If he hadn't been careless
 8. The Boxer-To abandon the old system of modesty and demand fail remuneration for his art
 4. Winter league Manager-To an- nounce with boldness the great i'm provement in his club with the origin al declaration added that the team that beats us out will finish up there or thereab bouts"
 5. Football Coaches-To abandon optimism and publicity and publicly proclaim the crippled conditions o1 their teams in advance of each biz game.
 6. The Batsman-To state openly , that the pitcher who struck him ou for the third time "never had thing the lucky mutt.' We feel that the adoption Of the above resolutions would make for de 1 cided originality and a new existence we'll off the beaten paths And, after all, isn't 'variety the spice of lite?' | Or isn't it?

Age Limits.

Baseball now has it's stars above forty, and golf has it's champions around forty-five. But the age limit in theses two sports runs we'll above that of football, tennis or boxing.
 Tennis had Brookes, WYlding and Larnard above thirty, but today there is no leading contender left around this age, or, rather, above it.
 Football has no place for a player above thirty, even if one could stand the smash of the game above that age. If there was any amount of profess slonal football there would undoubt- edly be stars from twenty eight to thirty-three, but it is beyond reason ing to figure out a football star at forty.
 There have been a few ring nnarve1s With F1tzslmmons as a leading ex ample, who have reached great heights after thirty-five, but these are few and farther still between.
