WILL HAVE STRONG TEAM.
NewHaven High School to Lose But
 Three Players By Graduation.

New Haven, Nov. 20.-The choice for captain of next years High school football team lies between Red McPartland, halfback; Mansfield, end, and Cusanelli, center and fullback. All three have many friends at the To- cal school and there is much specula- ton as to which will receive the hon. pr. The election will take place with In the next fortnight. Mcfarland 1t is reported, is in the lead for the captaincy despite the fact that he is only sophomore.
 Cusanelli's stock took boost as a result of his good showing in the game against New Britain on Satur- day. The present season marks the first for Mansfield as a regular and his playing has favorably impressed his teammates.
 Eight of this years team will be back next year. The only men lost by graduation will be Captain Rice, Shep- ard and Gallagher. The playing of the team this year proved satisfactory in view of the fact that the locals were pitted against heavier and more ex- perienced teams than ever before.

National Commission Rules Against
 Former Yankee Player.

Cincinnati, Nov. 20.-The National Baseball Commission Saturday re. fused the claim of Player Arthur C. Vance against the New York Ameri can league club, and the Columbus club of the American association, for $9O7.45, which he claimed was due him for salary while ill and under contract with the latter club, after being sold under an optional agree ment by the New York Americans. The commission ruled that Vance re- ceived an injury while playing with ani independent team and that neither of the above named clubs should be held responsible for this.
 The commission also ruled that the Chicago National league Is indebted to Player Edward J. Mulligan for eleven days salary.

Me- Carty of Brooklyn and New York tops the list of catchers, and Gibson of Pittsburgh, Huhn of Cincinnati, Killi- fer of Philadelphia, and Meyers of Brooklyn follow in that order. As a matter of fact the first three are tied at .9S9, but McCarty takes prece- dence, because of competing in the greatest number of games. Ed Fitz- patrick of Boston and Hal Chase of Cincinnati have a perfect average among the outfolders. Fitzpatrick competed in 2S games and Chase in 25. Max Flack of Chicago, who comes third, with an average of .991, competed in 136 games.
 Eight pitchers have perfect records, Long Tom Hughes of Boston, Benton of New York, Anderson of New York. Coombs of Brooklyn, Jasper of St. Louis, Dale of Cincinnati, and Adams of Pittsburgh. Grover Alexander fol- lows with an average of 992.

CHOLERA STILL RACES.
Cool Weather, However, Aids in
 Abolishing Scourge.

Tokio, Nov. 20-Although cool weather has brought a decrease of cholera at Tokio the malady contin- ues to spread at Osaka. Up to Octo- Der 10 the cases at Tokio had reached 54S; at Osaka the total was 2,O01, with an increase of twenty daily.
 At TOkio there have been 151 deaths. The authorities believe that by the end of the month the epidemic will be entirely wiped out here. No foreigner has been attacked by the disease, so far as is known.
 The spread of cholera to Korea has had serious economic effect there as the authorities have prohibited fishing in zone extending along 200 miles Of coast. Cholera is believed by many physicians to be easily circulated from fish tissue, and the fishermen of Ko- req are said to have failed to comply with sanitary measures ordered by the health department. Some 270, 900 fishermen, commanding 40, 900 boats, are thus thrown out of work at the most fruitful period of the year. Fear

BRAVES LEADING FEEDERS
Seasons Statistics Show Giants Second in Fielding With Champion Robins Following Matty's Reds.

New York, Nov. 20.-Boston led the clubs of the National league in field ing during the past season, according
 to the statistics which have been com piled by Secretary John Heydler
 and in third place are the Cincinnati
 Reds. The National league cham pions, Brooklyn, are in fourth place with Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Chi cago and St. Louis following in that order.
 The leaders, among the first base men, are Walter Hoelke of the Giants, Jake Daubert of Brooklyn. and John B. Miller of St. Louis. The first named, however, played in only 34 games as compared with 126 for Dau- bert Groh of Cincinnati has the premier place among the men who hover about the second sack, and then Hollow Charles Herzog of the Giants and John B. Miller of St. Louis. The third basemen are led by Mike Now rey of Brooklyn, who in 144 games has an average of .965. Herzog is in second place, and Lobert of the Giants in third position.

RECORDS TURNED DOWN
Committee Rejects Marks Made by Miss Galligan, Renz, Kelly and CaIdwelI-Efght to Retain Women,

E New York, Nov. 2O.-when the E delegates of the Amateur Athletic " Union meet in the Waldorf-Astoria { hotel today at their annual convention i they will be requested to refuse six worlds records and to reinstate seven ! athletes, who were placd under the ban during the past year.
 At meetings of the record and na-
 tional registration committees yester-
 day In the Hotel Astor 1t was decided
 that six of the forty-four records ap- { piled for were not made under proper auspices and that the seven athletes had been disqualified for trivial
 causes.
 Miss Claire Galligan of New Ro- chelle, the champion middle distance woman swimmer, undoubtedly will be 5 deprived of three marks. She swam E440 yards, SS0 yards and 1920 yards in open water at Rye Beach in un- l precedented time for a woman, but as only two timers cloc]sed her the rec ] ord committee will ask the delegates not ot accept her figures as records.
 The other marks turned down by
 inc committee were the 15 mile walk hung up by the Edward Renz of the , Mohawk A. c; Fred w. Kelly's 220
 yard low hurdle mark, and Dave
 Caldwell's 600 yard indoor record. { Tn reference to the Renz record the | members of the committee said that { they were not satisfied with the way kclookers performed their duties and doubted the correctness of the scorers. Kel1y's and Caldwelrs marks were ] rejected on the ground that they were made on tracks which did not ! h tho ino
 which the A. A. U. rules demand. A dozen athletes asked to be rein stated, but the registration commit
 tee rejected five and will recommend that the following lads be placed in
 good standing:
 Howard Williams Auburn, N. Y, middle distance runner; Sam Mos l burg, New York city, boxer; Russell l lPanz1no, New York city, boxer; F. P. | Hardy, Jersey City, runner; Russell | lManuri, Bay City, Miss, boxer; Paul i Schultz, Trenton, and Julius North back, Milwaukee, swimmer.
 The boys whose, applications were }denied were Philip Cruz, Brooklyn, boxer; John Novak, Newark, boxer; lStanza Bogga, Newark boxer, and Howard s. Mackay, Kerkley, Cal, swimmer.
 One of the pleasant tasks the dele gates will be asked to perform today is to elect the Municipal A. A, of St. Louis to mem mbership. This league controls practically every sport in St. Louis and the playgrounds and for many years has been an outlaw body.
 What probably will cause the great est discussion at the meeting Is the proposition to throw out women ath- letes.
 Several western associations as we'll as the New England association are on record as being ir favor of retain ing the women, but the Metropolitan l and several other associations are eager to have them form an organiza- ton of their own and become allied l with the A. A. U. instead of being members of it.
