ping he gave Gunboat Smith three weeks ago, and an added victory to his already long record. by disposlng of Bill Brennan, the Chicago heavy weight, proves that I was right when I predicted some time ago, that Cow Ter was the logical man for the heavy weight title.
 Cowler weighs 210 pounds in condi- ton, stands feet, 3 inches tall and is as clever as Jim Corbett ever was in his palmiest days. Cowler can hit as hard as the marvellous Bob Fitzsimmons, and is as fast on his feet as a featherweight. He is a spec tacular fighter, who is always doing the unexpected and in every fight, he arouses the spectators to wild enthu- siasm, by his clever ducking and lodging, so noticeable among English pugilists.
 now challenge Frank Moran. Fred Fulton, Carl Morris or any heavy weight in the world, to meet Cowler over ten or twenty rounds and will bet $5,0O0 on the side that he can whip any white man in the country today"

ANNIVERSARIES
 OF RING BATTLES

190S-Jack~ Munroe knocked tout
 Peter Maher in fourth round at Phi1a- delphia. It was this battle which
 made many fans believe that Munroe
 was a coming heavyweight champion, and the man destined to conquer Jeff fries. A six-footer and every inch an athlete, Munroe had been famous football player in Montana and Cali fornia, and prospector, ranchman
 and miner. In 1901 he entered the professional ring and whipped several
 second-raters, as welf as fighting a 2O-round draw with Hank Griffin, the clever ,colored boxer. Munroe then
 went back to the mining game at Butte. When Jeffries visited the Mon- tana metropolis in 1902, offering to stop any man within rounds, Mun-
 roe accepted the challenge, and stay ed the limit. This gave him quite a and tackled Peter Maher. His victory over the Irishman. and his good show ing with Tom Sharkey a little later, won for him the right to- fight Jeffries for the title. They. met in San Fran cisco in 1904, and Munroe was knock ed out in the second round After that he settled in Canada and made a fortune in mining, but at outbreak of the war he enlisted in the Princess
 Pats It was reported that he had been killed, but subsequently, he turn ed up in an English hospital, minus one arm but still game and cheerful

BROWN PREPARES
 FOR YALE CONTEST

Providence, R. T., Nov. 7-Brown began preparing for the Yale game yesterday, the squad reporting at An- drews Field in fairly good physical condition after the Vermont game of Saturday. Conroy, who has been play ing particularly brilliant game as running mate to Pollard, Browns dusky star, twisted a knee in the Vermont game and it is doubtful if he will be able to play against Yale Jemail, too, may be out of the Yale game, for he injured an ankle Satur- day. Hillhouse, Weeks, Purdy, Brooks and Captain Farnu1n. who were more s or less injured in the Rutgers game, have entirely recovered and were ready for hard work. Arm strong, who played full back for the entire game Saturday, was on the in jured list with a slight injury, but he will probably be all right in a few days.
 As usual the Monday workout was rather light, although the squad was larger than 1t ordinarily is on Mon days. Purdy again directed the lay of the Varsity, and Captain Farnum went in at right guard, the position which he played last Saturday, and where he now seems to be a fixture. Devitalis and Williams were the tackles. and Ormsby and Marshall were at the ends, with Sprague at cen tre and Wade at left guard Hill house was at full back and the half backs were Annan and Brooks.

Baserunner Who Was
 Safe Called Out By
 Jack Fournier's Trick
(SDOrting News.

Jack Fournier, now first passing for the White Sox, has one story that he always tells with glee whenever the chance comes. Any time he starts in on it fellow members of the White Sox5 give the warning "Capron story and duck. But the tale is interesting at that and should be published. Here it is:
 Fournier was playing with Portland in the Northwestern League and Geo. Capron was with Seattle. A Seattle runner was on first when Capron came to bat. He rapped a hot grounder down to Cooney. who was on short for Portland. The latter whipped the ball to second. forcing the runner, and then the ball was relayed to Four nier.
 Capron had crossed the bag and was making his turn back by the time the throw reached Fournier.
 Jack tossed the ball up and down in his glove as Capron came up. Can you beat that, Capron ?" said Four nier, "the umpire called you out"
 Well I'll be dinged." snarled Ca- pron, and he started to run toward second to argue with the official. Four catch him until they had covered half the distance. He tagged the amazed Capron with the ball.
 "Out!" shouted the umpire. throw ing back his right hand.

LANNIN SAYS HE
 WAS NOT FORGED
 OUT OF BASEBALL

Boston, Nov. 6.-When Joseph J. Lannin made his exit from baseball | through the sale of the Red Sox to 1 F'raZee and Ward and whatever asso- ciates they may or may not have, the action on Lannin's part was entirely voluntary. No other considerations other than his wholehearted desire to
 dispose of his holdings on the purely
 natural grounds that his personal we'll being demanded, along with the point 1 that the time and opportunity had ar rived, are confessed by the former
 owner and president. The deal, as
 made, is to stand so far as he is con-
 cerned
 He is grateful to Ban Johnson for the. American league presidents soIic- itude as expressed in the latter's an-
 nounced determination to squelch the transfer if it appeared that MT. Lan- nin's disposal of the club was in any
 way due to adverse criticisms of the former Red Sox boss and the Aneri- can league.
 But as J. J. .\Lannin gives entire as-
 surance that criticisms did not enter in any degree into his purpose to re- lieve himself of the club, its worries
 and burdens, one hitch that has made US appearance m the wake or the deal goes by the board.
 It is understood that the new owners
 were very much worried over the de- velopment in the matter and took pains to get in touch with Lannin
 yesterday to have their minds set at
 rest by his reassurances.
 Besides this the point is made to
 stand out that B. B. Johnson took his
 attitude to abolish the far-spread sus-
 picion that he was behind the de- parture of MT. Lannin from baseball. From surface indications as revealed by the Johnson attitude it has been made clear that whatever may have occurred to disturb the American league race the past season, the same
 has been dead issue or has become a
 dead issue since the season ended. That is, it was a dead issue so far
 as the principals were concerned until the mutual recriminations between the presidents of the two major leagues
 over the McGraw incident gave Proxy Tener of the National league the hith-
 erto dead issue of Lannin's criticism
 of American league umpires as a basis for a retort.

INTERCOLLEGIATE FOOT
 BALLS BIRTHDAY

When. Rutgers college of New Brunswick, N. J., celebrated the 150th anniversary of it's founding last month, the place of honor in the alu- nni procession was given to the sur vivors of the immortal Rutgers foot ball team of 1869-the men who helped to defeat Princeton in the first intercollegiate gridiron match ever played in either America or England.
 This game was pulled off at New Brunswick just AT years ago to-day, Nov. 6, 1869, and an interesting ac- count of the clash of the rival twenty -fives'' has been resurrected from the columns of the New Bruns- wick Daily Fredonian. The reporter who covered the first college foot ball match wrote as follows:
 'Hurrah for the boys of good old Rutgers!' who are waking up, as was fully demonstrated last Saturday aft ernoon in the lively but rough game of football.
 "Our neighbor, Princeton sent her chosen "A stalwart men, and one Goliath, to combat our 25 striplings There is not recorded in the history of the Olympic games a more inter- esting and decisive match. played in so short a time, by such a number of contestants as this game was. .Rut- gers led off by winning the first inn- ing amid the vociferous cheering of the bystanders. Princeton seemed to play little wild at the beginning, but the second inning they recovered themselves, and came out the victors. So it continued, off and on, one gain ing, then the other, until the ninth and tenth innings, when, notwith- standing the desperate efforts of the

Princeton giants. Rutgers quickly and boldly followed in successive victory, giving them six runs to four of Princeton-thereby coming off con- querors, which was hailed with exult- ing shouts of applause by the admir- CTS of Rutgers. The victorious 25 then gave three rouding cheers and a tiger, which was followed by the Princeton 25 cheering, and a some thing sounding very much like 'Ou!' Bum! 'Aaughv The game thus end- ed in good feeling, although during the playing we observed some rather unnecessary sparring on the part of a few of the Princeton 'Philistines!' All is we'll that ends well.'
 Through the generous liberality of the students of Rutgers college, a bountiful entertainment was prepar- ed for our Princeton friends, at the favorfte. resort in Church street known as Northrop's, where mine host and his estimable lady know how to get up a good supper. May they live long to serve the students of Rutgers thus. How are you 73? So ends pleasant rivalry between sister colleges, of which there are none more honorable in the land. Princeton did we'll, but Rutgers did better, and let it continue to be, not alone in athletic sports, but also in the more energetic struggle of the mind"
 William J. Leggett, captain of the Rutgers team, and William S. Gum mers, afterwards chief justice of New Jersey, devised the rules which gov code ever formulated on this side of the briny. These rules were:
 CD Grounds must be 36O feet long and 225 feet wide. (2) Goals must be eight paces. (3) Each side shall number 25 players. (4) No throwing or running with the ball; if either 1t is a foul and the ball then must be thrown perpendicu1arly in the air by the side causing the foul. (5) No holding the ball or free kicks allow ed. (6o A ball passing beyond the boundary by the side of the goal shall be kicked on from the boundary by the side who has that goal. CD A ball passing beyond the limit on the side of the field shall be kicked on horizontally to the boundary by the side which kicked it out (8) No tripping or holding of players. (9) The winner of the first toss has the choice of position; the winner of the second toss has the first kick-off. (10) There shall be four judges and two referees.

MUST BE THRIFTY.

< The average total family income, including women and children, is be- tween $70O and $500 a year in the United States, according to statistics given out by the American Society for Thrift. Between 1900 and 1914 the average increase in the retail prices of food was about 60 per, cent. while wa ges increased a little less than 30 per cent. No matter what may be the cause of this condition, the, moral is plain: The average American of the future must be thrifty. ~ k Our population is increasing at the rate of 4,433~ day Statisticians es- timate that within a few years this in- crease will reach 1000 a day. There will then be even greater cause for thrift. -s
 A mpvement is on foot in the Ma tional Association, the official organi- zation of school teachers of America, for devisingy plans of teaching thrift in our schools. This means begin ming at the foundation, points out the American Society for thrift. and the results on the happiness, prosperity,
 
 will be beyond comprehension
 If each worker began now to save a dime a day the aggregate accumu- lation would reach $1,465,756 a year, or if each saved a dime a.~week the total would be $208,S19,317. The saving of a dime month by each worker would amount to $48,189,093, and only a dime a year would mean S4,015,750. American Society for Thrift statistics show that 95 per cent. of men are dependent upon their daily earnings, or on others, for support at the age of 60, and that not one. man in 30 who retires with competency is able to retain that competency to the close of life. These are things for the patriotic American to think about. This is a nation of manifest destiny, but there are evil days ahead unless our people begin at once. the practices of thrift.

 Good feet?
 No. @.s
 Good eyesight?
 No.
 Good brains?

 What then?
 Good teeth.
 A soldier may have good feet, good eyesight, and good brains but if he has bad teeth. he can't eat. If he can't eat he can't march near enough to the enemy to see him and use his brains to fight him..
 How does a soldier get good teeth By having good teeth in childhood. How do children keep good teeth ? Through being taught by their mother how to keep their teeth clean and having their teeth looked after while they are growing. This makes good teeth for future soldiers.
 It would seem then as though the first patriotic duty of a mother was to keep her children's teeth in good condition.
