DARCY ONLY ONE WHO WILL TACKLE
 ANY OLD FIGHTER

New York, Oct. 10-Stanley Ketch. ell was the last of the reckless match makers. While Jess Willard and Johnny Kilbane are supreme in their respective classes and therefore can not be said to be dodging any one there are very few prominent box CTS in the ring today who are going out of their way in search of the toughest opponents to be found.
 KetchelPs disposition was such that he refused to be restrained by the ad- vice of his managers to go slow and pick the easy ones. He always want ed to be doing something worth while. He was absolutely without fear both when fighting and when it came to making match. The fact that he was> risking his prestige and earning power never seemed to have any effect on him whatever. He was a great gambler and his gameness was far su- perior to that of the fighter who can take unlimited punishment without wincing. \
 Les Darcy seems to have much of KetchelPs willingness to fight as we'll as his ability. It is unfortunate that he should have to waste his talents over in Australia where there is no one within miles of his class. He will be great card if he ever comes to this country. A Darcy-Dillon match looks like the biggest thing in the pugilistic line that has ever taken place barring & few of the heavy weight championship matches.

PRINcEToN ELEVEN FEARS TUFTS MAY
 WIN ON SATURDAY

Princeton, Oct. 1o-The plans of Head Coach "Speedy' Rush to have his Tiger football eleven meet smaller teams at the beginning of the season, so that his charges might come to the climax of their development grad ually has been somewhat upset by Tufts, which is scheduled to play Princeton next Saturday, with a re- cord of a victory over Harvard last Saturday. f1
 The coming week. promises to be a stiff one for the Princeton players, for 1t will be necessary to work up a stronger effense and improve their de- fense within the next four days. The Tiger play against North Carolina was not without flaws, and Rush will un- doubtedly strive to perfect his team- work within the next week as much as possible. He will probably have his hand forced a little in the deveIop- ment of his team, because of the un- expected strength of Tufts
 The dropping of Rutgers and Syra- cuse from this, years schedule was partly caused by the fact that the Tiger coach believe such heavy teams were too strong for so early in the sea- son. Now that the cenquerors of the Harvard eleven are coming to Tiger town, he will have to turn back to some of last years tactics.

 OF RING BATTLES

1910AGeorge Chauey defeated Bat ting Kelly in six rounds at Balti- more. This bout marked the begin ming of Chaney's active ring career. The hard hitting Baltimore bantam then knocked out six kids in rapid succession. but he got a taste of his own medicine the following April, when Young Britt put him to sleep. In June of 1911 he fought a 20-round draw with Kid Williams, and then be- gan another long string of knockouts. earning for himself the title of Knockout King" which he emblaz- oned upon his manly bosom. Cha ney's batting average of knockouts is the highest of any modern scrapper, about 60 per cent. of his contests hav- ing been won by the administration of the soporific punch to his victims. In tackling Johnny Kilbane the little Baltimorean bit off more than he could masticate, and again exper- fenced the feeling of defeat Chaney declares that it doesn't hurt to be rocked to sleep by an opponents glove, but it is only natural that a fellow who deals so extensively in knockouts should defend his own line of goods.

CORNELL OPENS BY BEATING GETTYSBURG
 VERY EASY MANNER

Ithaca, Oct, 10-Cornell opened it's football season yesterday afternoon>by defeating Gettysburg by the score of 20 to on a wet field, and amid a drizzle. The husky Cornell line over powered it's lighter opponents, and the Cornell backs seldom failed to gain except in the third period, although they did not get under way very fast. The ends were slow in getting down under punts, permitting Rote and Stretteni to make big runs after re- ceiving kicks.
 Cornell handled the ball c1eanly. and also followed it closely, the reck- cry of fumbles by Gillies and Gal braith giving the team an opportunity to make two touchdowns. The Itha- cans also executed several clever for ward passes. They lost more than 75 yards by penalties, one 20-yard set back depriving them of touchdown in the third period. Altogether, the showing made by the team under the conditions was satisfactory. Gettys- burg was no match for\the Ithacans but played a. snappx game all through

PLENTY OF SILENT ! CHEERS AS MARTIN
 DEFEATS ZULU KID

He talks not, neither does he sing. But he grunts something scandalous.
 That is a thumb nail sketch of Silent
 Martin, the deaf and dumb boxer,
 who donned the gloves with the Zulu
 Kid at the Casino last night. Every
 time he stopped one with his chin l Martin grunted. At the end of a Iround he couldn't hear the bell so lReferee Terry Lee had to waive his farms like, a man shooing COW out of a lot. There was a cheering sec ltion of mutes roofing hard for Martin
 and these boys made many fancy lpasses in the air trying to say, Hit lhim in the lunchroom, kid" The Zulu Kid is not a cannibal in |spite of his jungle name. He is white. lalthough his skin is of an olive tint lpeculiar to Italy. He is a tough citi- Izen who is willing to take five blows Ito get in onf himself.

He swung heavily in Martins direction on sev- leral occasions but Martin responded lonly with. grunt and bored in for jmore.
 The pair mixed things for 1S hounds. It was Nthe liveliest milling lseen here in several years and the fans .!were cheering every minute. Neither boxer wanted to sta1l.-JThe bout came Ito an abrupt end, in the 14th when Martin accide eAtally hit the Zulu war lrior a foul blow which doubled the tBrooklynite up. Referee Lee stopped sthe fight because the Zulu was unable togo on. He did not disqualify Mar itih, however, for he said the blow was }accidentaL and there had been no oc- casion to warn Martin in previous Erounds regarding foul blows. Referee Zee thought Martin was entitled to tthe decision on points, which was the Iopinion of the majority of sporting [writers present. The lighters did not tweigh i'm but it was said their weights iwere about 160.
 Battling Kunz of South Norwalk put |NWillie Condon out in the fourth round lafter an exciting battle. There was bsome delay in staging this bout be- 1cause Kunz was weighed 138 to 130 for lCondon and the latter did not care (about proceeding with such one |sided match.

BOTH MANAGERS
 IN WORLDS SERIES
 GREAT >BACKSTOPS

New York, Oct 10-No matter which league enjoys the honor. of winning this years worlds champion ship, the fact remains that the win ming team will be piloted by man. ager who made his reputation as a catcher. It seems a coincidence that the men who have donned the mask and protector have monopolized the premier honors in both the Na.ional and American leagues for the season just closed. Moreover, the same con- ditions applied to the 1915 season when the Red Sox and the ,Phillies both piloted by managers who had become famous while working behind the bat, succeeded in winning the pen nants in both major leagues.
 Wilbert Robinson made his reputa- tion as a catcher and so did Pat Nor an. Going still further, we find that the Boston Braves who were strong contenders for the flag for the entire season, were managed by George Stallings, and while the average fan may not be aware of it, the latter of ten felt the "kerplunk" of the bal in his mitt while standing back of home plate.
 Every follower, of the great na- tional game is acquainted with the ability of Bill Carrigan, who was and still is one of the leading catchers ir the American league. It is still fresh in the minds of many that when the Red Sox showed signs of slumping in the first part of September Bill iump- ed into harness and coached his pitch CTS back into form. So this years worlds series will bring together catcher against catcher. and they'll have to settle it between themselves.

FIELDER JONES THINKS
 PITCHING STAFF MOST
 IMPORTANT TO SUCCESS

Grandstand managers are pretty well s agreed that Fielder Jones' Brownies lacked that run making es- sential-a punch. Sixty-four games of the one7run margin variety, 5 of these defeats, are pointed to as evid- ence that the club is deficient in bat ting effectiveness. writes Ed Wray in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
 It is also agreed by the amateur managers that Fielder is making a mistake in sitting tight with his, pres- ent outfit and in planning to continue his 1917 campaign with the same punchless cast.
 But there is the large "on-the-other- hand" to his argument, one that can be backed up. by figures. Batting fig far from being everything in the life of successful team; and that the in- lection of little more timeliness in- to the swatting of our Brownies, plus the teams great superiority in speed. may yet vindicate the clubs manager.
 The answer to this view will, of course, be: "See what happened to the club this year. It had a fair trial" Jones argues differently. He maintains that good start would have brought copfidence and near-first- place position to his club.
 Jones holdsNand he is supported by facts-that pitching is the first thing needed by a team. With that anything is possible. He regards the failure of his own club as due to Koobs illness at the start and in mid season. Davenports failure to round to form until he had lost about nine games. Plank's tardy return to cham pienship class and the failure of Hamilton to come through, rather than to the downfall of cleanup men Pratt and Marsans.
 Johnny McGraw is ready to O. K. the view about pitching. For while everybody is crediting his new infield with the return to winning form of the Giants, it is noteworthy that the pitchers of the club. in annexing their long string of victories, have allowed a grand average of only 1.5 earned runs per nine inning game. That ought to win almost without hitting.

KAUFF WILL BE
 STAR NEXT YEAR
 BR0UTHERS THINKS

New York, Oct. 10-Nobody can deny that old Dan Brouthers knew something about hitting. Dan has Leen a regular, attendant at all the Giants games at New York. He has been carefully watching Benny Kauff Ard here is what the old-.imer has been quoted as saying about the shrinking violet"
 ''This Kauff," he said, twill be a great man for McGraw next year. I have been sizing him up carefully He is game. Next year the crowds will be with him. He worried too much the early part of the season. A lad as strong as Kauff should be won derful hitter as long as he picks out good balls. Benny was reaching too far for 'em, but since the team came home this last. time I notice a great improvement. He isn't going after the bad ones. He is making the pitch CT put them over. When they do he hits 'em; when they don't he walks. He is getting on the basesI I guess McGraw must have drummed it inf a Tim.
 ''No better judge of a ball ever liv- ed than McGraw. He/was always on the bases. After he began ito ac- quire a reputation as a good hitter I said to Amos Rusie one day:
 :" Amos, what is it this little devil hits, or what is it he don't hit that gets him by?'
 Why" said Amos. 'the little suck CT won't hit at one if it's an inch out side the plate. I've tried him on my fast one and everything else. It's got to be over or he won't swing at it. A team of that kind of hitters would run all the pitchers right out of the league"
