TIGERS CLAIM CAME.

The youthful Manager McGran of the Tigers sends the following: 'The Young Tigers claim yester- days football game from the Lake view Jrs., formerly the Remvilles, ~y footwear 70. The Tigers were much disappointed by the bad sports manship of the Lakeviews by not showing up as all the Tigers were waiting for them. The only reason the Tigers think that the Lakeviews did not show up is that they are yell low and wish that all managers of all the teams in the 65 pound class will take notice of this occasion and keep this team from their schedules.
 On next Sunday the Young Tigers will clash with fast Atlas team of the East Side at Beach's Woods 2 D. m. sharp. On a previous meeting the Tigers were victorious 7-6 on the At last field. The Tigers will practice Tuesday and Friday evenings at p. m. All challenges will be received through this paper from any 65 pound teams.

SHERIFF TIES UP
 " COBB'S MONEY ! IN HARTFORD GAME

New Haven. Oct, 23-"Ty'' Cobb, who has gained some fame on the baseball diamond pulled a brand new stunt Saturday. He not only attract ed a good sized crowd of fans to the Wethersfield avenue park, Hartford, notwithstanding the date was October 21, but also was the means of inveig- ling deputy sheriff to the scene of action, where the Colonials of New Haven and the Poli club of Hartford were billed to clash in a ball game.
 The deputy sheriff. Charles E.. Lord, wasn't particularly interested in the stunts that Cobb was due to per- form on the diamond, but he was con- form on the diamond,c etaotp n m ccrned in the amount of money taken in at the box office. 'Ty"- was to play, he had been informed, and that meant that considerable number of half dollars would filter through the cashiers window.
 Deputy Sheriff Lord had a legal document which alleged ;, that the Poli club owed w. E. Caulkins & Co.,, local builders. bill of approximate ly $200 for work done in erecting the grandstand on -Poli field, East Hart ford. He, attached the. receipts and almost tied up the game
 As it was, the contest advertised for 2:30, did not start until 3:45, the Col onials being late in arriving and then further time was needed to settle the legal entanglement. The receipts were something over $400, and the Colonials had been guaranteed this sum to play the game '0Ty'' Cobb it is said, receiving $500 for his share. With the deputy sheriffs claim of $200, there was not enough left to pay the guarantee to Manager Weiss of New Haven, and he refused to start the game.
 Finally Thomas J. Winters came to the rescue of the Poli team and put uD a bond guaranteeing the payment of the claim of the builders. The at tachment was then released and the game started.

STOCK
 ROOMS AFTER STATE, DEFEAT

New York. Oct. 23!The football stock of Pennsylvania received big boost on Saturday, when the eleven did better against their opponents than even their most ardent admirers expected. Penn, outweighed by many pounds, showed flashes of real football and disposed of Penn State in impress sive styleA The coaching of Bob Fol- well is beginning to make itself evil dent with the Quakers. The backfield, especially Full Back Howard Berry, displayed promising offensive skill and Penn's defense was a great improve men. over anything it has shown this season. F'olwell has>promised to ac- |eomplish much with the material he has at Franklin Field this season and he bids fair to carry out his promise.
 Berry's work was the best individual exhibition that has been seen in Phil adelphia in long time He scored a touchdown and kicked two field goals. Berry cleverly caught a forward pass and made spectacular forty-yard run for his touchdown. The game was hard and rough and was an excellent tryout for Penn, for Penn State was an opponent all keyed up to win. It
 
 eleven is going to be better than any one imagined. The Quaker line charged in a manner which offset the farmers attack and the burly mountaineers were skillfully handled by their lighter opponents. This game showed that beef on a football eleven is not essen tial any more.
 If Folwell can bring his team along at the pace it showed during the past week, Penn will be on the high road back to gridiron prestige. Of late years, he Penn elevens have gone from bad to worse. but the spirit, de- termination and enthusiasm at Frank lin Field this season is of a far more encouraging sort than has been seen there in many a day. At the begin ming, on Saturday, Penn's work was ragged. There was haphazard hand ling of the -halL fault which will have to be eradicated not = only at Penn, but at many other of he big football camps before the elevens can hope to be regarded as first-class grid iron organizations. r

built up into a pennant winner this season.
 The owners of the Cubs might in- duce Chance to return to his first love. But to do so it is almost a fDregone conclusion that an opportunity will have to be given Frank to purchase a fair-sized interest in the team. Chances business interests in Califor- mia place him beyond the lure of tipd1ated salary even such . $20,000 salary as he drew as manager of the Yankees.
 From Cleveland comes a rumbling noise that intimates things may not be so rosy in the managerial life or Lee Fohl as they were while the h. dians threatened to run off with an American league pannant. Fohl was a seven days wonder before his club folded in the final stages of the race. But, while the Cleyeland club failed Iris Speaker did not. ,Hlf,
 After the blow-off Iris proved the one fragrant flower in a withered and fading bouquet. Wherefore, 1t is ar gued by the Speaker boosters, Iris, and not Fohl, was responsible for the entire Cleveland uplift. In this con- nection the old idea of saving the use- less expenditure of a bench managers salary Is being advocated. Friends of Speaker argue that he has earned the right to greater consideration. Iris is said to have managerial incfnations. if not aspirations.
 For the last four months there has been talk of a change in the leader ship of the Chicago White Sox. Clar- ence Rowland, in the opinion of his
 .Nk x-csd ya to really high-class standards. Smart managers of the American league maintain that Rowland for the last two seasons has had club 15 or 20 per cent. stronger than the worlds champion Red Sox.
 The return to the White Sox in ca pacity of coach of Kid Gleason during the dast few weeks of the last season has already been interpreted in soms quarter as a move by Charles Comis- key to provide a new manager for 1917. This Comiskey has denied. Nat urally, if the Old Roman intended to let Rowland go, he would ease the blow as much as possible by making the change during the off season.
 The great majority of the major league managers of 1916, are protected by term contracts over the coming season. Cincinnati, the most fighty city of all, has tied itself to Christy Mathewson through 1917 and 1918. The contracts of McGraw with the Giants and Wilbert Robinson with the Rob- ins both have one more year to go. George Stallings is bound to the Braves to the end of 1920. Pat Moran is under contract to the Phillies for next year. Jimmy Callahan is sure of another years grace, at least, in Pitts burgh unless Dreyfuss sells the club. which is improbable. The same goes for Miller Huggins with the Brittons in St. Louis.
 American league managers are not so we'll protected generally. Connie Mack. at Philadelphia, and Clark Grif- filth, at Washington, are stockholders as well as leaders, and consequently beyond the reach of directors foibles. Hugh Jennings is bound to Detroit by 8 term contract. The same goes for Fielder Jones and the Browns
 Bill Donovan has just signed to lead the Yankees next year. The owners of the Yankees felt that the Smiling One should have another year in which to perfect his plans.

Sheldon jr., the big, 190- pound tackle of the Yale teams of the past two years and one of the three men on whom Tad Jones was relying to make up what he believed to be an inYincible centre trio of Black, Callahan and Sheldon, is out of Yale football permanently and is seriously ill at the Yale Infirmary suffering from acute articular rheu- matisms with. some complications.
 That Sheldon was seriously i'll had been known for the. past two days to the coaches, but it did not become generally known until yesterday after noon when it was stated that, al though shis condition is still serious, he is out of danger.
 The news of the illness of the big veteran line man made big impress sion on the, student body as well as khe coaching staff, not alone. because he is lost to football but because of his great personal popularity. From the time he entered Sheffield from Andover he has been one of the chief athletic figures of the university. He q 1OiloWCu HIS oliCiooi, the Yale end, from Joplin, Mo, to Andover and then to-Sheff. His great est game was the Yale-Princeton game last fall, where he repeatedly brought down the Priiceton backs.
 A contributing cause to his illness is believed to be his fatiguing work with the Yale battery at Tobyhanna last summer and his failure to rest up before joining the squad this fall. Bo- gardus, of all the battery men, is the only football player who apparently came through in good physical condi- ton. ,,
 Club Sheldon[ illness. which will keep him, from the field for the re- mainder of the season. ends his foot ball career, for this is his third year on the varsity. His illness, with the injury sustained by Callahan Thursday and the temporary absence of Capt. Black with, an abscess of the leg, per manently breaks up the plans of Jones and Bride for the development of the centre trio and also for the developl ment of the line.

Gibbons and Dillon at
 Last Agree on Weight and Will Box Nov. IF

New York. Oct. 23-Michael Gib- bons, of St. Paul, and Ernest Cutler Price, of Indianapolis, have. settled their dispute over matter of twenty four ounces avoirdupois. Consequent [ ly Michael and Ernest, who is better
 known as Jack Dillon, will box a ten-
 dound no-decision bout at St, Paul on
 or about November IT.
 Up to yesterday Michael had insist ed that Jack Dillon must reduce him. | self to the gross tonnage of 161 1-2 pounds. Why the fraction only Mi chaei knows. Dillon pleaded for the privilege of carrying 1S5 pounds gross tonnage. He figured that this was about as light as he could go, even affer taking the Lillian Russell treat mAnts, the rolling exercises and all the other health and beauty hints for
 attaining sylphlike proportions.
 MichaePs ultimatum seems to have Sad string tied to it. When he was fold that Dillon could not make that
 weight without cutting off foot or an arm he finally Conceded the extra ounces. Negotiations were then halt
 edsa few moments when Michael tried
 to make the extra pound and a half troy weight proposition.
 To back this contention Michael
 made the contention that the modern
 prizefiGi1ters were too expensive to be baseball players or other ivory-pro- ducing mammals. Promoter Sher-
 man.. who is paying Dillon $7,5O0 U. s. gold coin, seemed to think that there was some sense in this conten- tion, and that the extra pound and Ia half should consist of eighteen ounces. Michael finally yielded. He is to receive a liberal percentage of the gate and he. did not care to see it fitting away from him.
