$4,000 for Relief Fund.

In order to obtain this unusual con-
cession. it was necessary for Rickard
to agree to give this fund the sum of
100000, in addition to paying Carpen-
tiers travelling and training expenses
for the bout with Willard. This money
has been put up in the form of bond
ed deposit, and in return, those inter
ested in the fund have agreed to deliver
Carpenter in this country within the
next few weeks.
personal contract with Carpenter
is now on its way to Paris, where the
French champion is expected to sign
it without delay, as he is conversant
with the details of the plan and has
agreed to the meeting.
The private arrangements between
the relief fund committee and the
French pugilist are not known to the
promoters, but itl is understood that
Carpenter has offered to box for his
expenses and has stipulated that any
profits that may accrue to him shall
be applied to the general uses of the
fund in the same manner as any other
contribution.
Carpenter has not engaged in prize
ring battle since July, 1914. After his
enlistment he served with the French
Aviation and Motor Corps and has been
sent to the rear at least once because
of wounds.

POST SEASON FOR MINORS.
American Association Head Favors
Games With International.

CHICAGO, December 5.-Thomas NJ.
Chivington. president of the American
Association. is in favor of a post sea-
son series of games between the Inter
national League and American Asso-
citation clubs next season.
President Chivington has announced
he will recommend the adoption of
shorter schedule for the 1917 season
at the annual meeting of the associa-
ton in indianapolis next Friday. and
the appointment of committee to ar
range al post season series of probably
forty-eight games with the Interna-
tional League clubs, all of the clubs of
the twp leading leagues participating.
Playing a post season series, Mr.
Chivihgton said, would create a new
interest in the two leagues. He said he
was not opposed to having the head
quarters of the American Association
moved from Chicago. as has been sug-
gested. He said it was considered
likely that the club owners. at their
meeting Friday, would decide upon a
change. Milwaukee, Indianapolis and
Louisville are understood to be in the
race for the headquarters.

BY II. c. BYRD.

It is possible that there may be some
change in the present schedule Of games
between Yale, Princeton and Harvard
before many years go by. Indeed. 1t
would not be a surprise If there is an
alteration in the dates in 1917. Yale
now is playing Princeton and Harvard
on consecutive Saturdays. and Prince
ton meets Yale and Harvard with only
the same time intervening. Harvard
has two weeks rest between its con-
tests with Princeton and with Yale.
This undoubtedly serves to give the
Crimson a big advantage-an advan-
tage which has been commented on
several times.
The question of changing the dates
mas come up more than once. 1t was
stated at one time that Harvard nad
oHered to effect q Encouragement, but
neither Princeton nor Yale cared to do
so. Now. though. the agitation seems
to be coming from Yale source Ihe
following excerpt from an editorial
printed in the Yale Alumni Weekly
gives close insight into the view of
the graduates of the Dark Blue insti-
tuition and certainly shows their re-
alization that Princeton and Yale are
working in their games with Harvard
under a handicap:
Now that Yale finally may look with
little more equanimity at the future
foot-ballwise. it is quite to the point
to raise a question or two which 1t
was not possible to raise during the
time when Yale could not rise above
the conditions imposed upon her. There
are a number of such questions, but
what we particularly refer to is the
present -Harvard-Y Yale sched-
ule, wherein Harvard has two-week
while Princeton and Yale both have
to play their two games on successive
Saturdays. To be sure, in the eighties
and early nineties. Yale played her two
rivals with five-day interims between
Saturdays and Thanksgivings. But the

ARMSTRONG IS VICTOR
OVER DUNBAR SCHOOL
Wins Annual Gridiron Struggle at
American League Park
by z to O.

Armstrong Manual Training School
defeated Dunbar High School, Z to O.
yesterday afternoon. in their annual
foot ball struggle. at American League
Park. The game was hard fought
throughout. both teams being evenly
matched. The result was in doubt
until the final whistle.
Armstrong; touchdown came near
the close of the second period. After
three successful forward passes had
brought the bali to the three-yard line,
Dunbar frightened up. and three sue
cessive line plunges failed to get the
ball over Then Makal. Armstrong; s
star halfback. hit outside tackle for
four yards and a touchdown. Maka1
also kicked goal.
Dunbar had several chances for a
score in the last half, but threw them
away by fumbling. Makal at halfback
and Arnold At tackle were Armstrong s
stars. while Costin and Barnes played
we'll for the losers.

Date Not Yet Settled.

Final contracts for the contest are
expected to be signed by Promoter Tex
Rickard and the representatives of the
pugilists here within a few days. The
date and place of the bout has not been
definitely decided, but the battle prob
ably will be staged in Madison Square
Garden or a similar place.
The match has been in the making
for several months, and the correspond
ence and other arrangements, both do
mestic and foreign, lift the promotion
of the bout within a notch or two of
international diplomacy. Carpenter,
holder of the European heavyweight
championship, has been serving with
the French army since virtually the be-
ginning of the war. He repeatedly has
refused excellent offers to re-enter the
prize ring, and it was impossible for
him to obtain the furlough necessary
from the French army authorities.
Rickard, who has gained pugilistic
fame as the promoter of the Johnson
Jeffries. Nelson-Gans and Willard Mo-
ran bouts. with their record purses,
failed in all his early attempts to bring
the French and American champions to-
gether. 1t was not until he enlisted
the aid of the members of one of the
French relief fund committees that the
contest was made possible. Pressure
was brought to bear upon the proper
officials in France, and their consent
obtained for Carpenter to leave the
army and the country for about three
months
