CLAIMS M'GRAW
 WAS GUTTER FOR.
 DESERVING GIANTS

Milwaukee. Oct 27-Its good thing, evidently. for John McGraw that Ban Johnson is not president of the National league.
 According to the word of the boss of the young major circuit, suspension from all connection with baseball un- til he either proved or apologized for his strictures on his own team would have been the fate of the Little Ma poleon If he had been in the American league Instead of the National when he quit the Gi4nts' bench in the mid dle of a game that decided the 1916 penpant-
 his disappointment for. the failure of the proper officials to recognize the gravity of the situation nor his pique at the repsated attacks directed his way for putting in. For the first time the executive of the American league expressed his real attitude toward the perpetrator of ''the worst knock base ball had in years."
 Said Johnson:
 When read of McGraw's action was in New York and firmly resolved not to discuss the affair in any way, confidently expecting the National league to protect the reputation of the game by properly handling the affair.
 ''Alonx in the afternoon a string of five newspaper men came to me with the statement that. President Tener had declared it closed incident I could not believe it at first, but when assured he had taken that attitude exploded.
 .'McGraw was in absolute charge of a property of great value. He was in the same position as the captain of a ship in midocean. McGraws action was as cowardly as if the cap- tain of an ocean liner were to- quit in an emergency. It deserves the same sort of punishment that would be meted out to a ships captain under those circumstances.
 'If McGraw thought some or any of his players were not trying to beat Brooklyn 1t was his duty to yank them instantly and send in some of he Ten he had on the bench. then report to his club owners and demand drastic punishment for the offenders.
 Personally, I do not believe any of the Giants were deserving of the sus- picions cast on them by their man. ager. McGraw himself would have given anything to beat Robinson out of the pennant, and in his rage at the baseball the greatest blow it has re- ceived in years. He. quit in the face of plain cuty." ss

CHAMPION WILLIAMS
 DEFEATS AL SHUBERT

Baltimore, Md. Oct. H.-Local fight fans were treated to one of the best bouts last night that they have seen for a long time, when Kid Williams, the bantam champion, fought and out pointed Al Shubert of Massachusetts. The fight was scheduled for 10 rounds, and 10 rounds it went.
 In the last three rounds Williams showed his prowess and went after Shubert eagerly. Shubert stood Np splendidly under the test, and at the finish seemed. as fresh as when lie started. williams, however, had the better of 1t, and while no decision was given, the fight went to Williams on points. ;

BIG FOOTBALL GAMES ON lX|
 SCHEDULE FOR TOMORROW Harvard Cornell and Penn-P Pittsburgh Contests
 Are High Spots of Day.

2:30. The late start will be made bechuse the members of the New Ha- ven militia, just back gfom the border, have been invited to the game and they must take part in a parade pre- viouS to the contest.
 Ban Johnson has told what he thinks of McGraw and Proxy Tener of the National league has told what he thinks of Johnson. The most excit- ing bit of gossip would be what Mc- Graw thinks of the other two.
 Players in the big leagues will not be permitted to play indoor baseball, basketball or football according to Ban Johnson's latest ruling. Can't they est three meals a day or stay out nights, either?
 Pennsylvania students are display ing real football spirit this year. The players, seated in big truck, were hauled to the railroad station last night when they departed for Pitts burgh to play the University of Pitts burgh tomorrow. A big delegation of rooters marched behind the truck and cheered lustily.
 The Brooklyn Nationals may train in Texas next season. They have de- cided not to return to Daytona, Fla. Manager Robinson, who visited Texas in other years with the Giants, is try ing to persuade Owner~ Ebbets that the Lone Star state is the place to send the Dodgers.
 A number of local fans will go to New Haven tonight to see the box ing show at the Arena. Cowboy Charley Shands will meet Hugh Rose of this city in the star bout of 15 rounds. Kayo Moran of this city, will take on K. O. Palitz of New Son. don in the ten round semi-final.

Bill O'1ara, once left fielder for the New York Giants and on the Toronto International league team, IS now the hero among baseball players. Why? We'll, Bill has shown the Europeans, who are at war, that a man who can peg is mighty dangerous person to have on the battlefield.

Base ball men here say it was a common occurrence for him to head off a too daring base runner by a long. quick throw from the outfield. O'Hara, a lieutenant in Canadian regiment at the front, is now hurling deadly bombs instead of baseballs. Photo shows O'1ara batting.

 Tossing the we'll known coin into the air is about the only way to predict the results of the big football games scheduled for tomorrow. The various elevans appear to be so well matched that even money betting has been the rule.
 Of\course the great event of the af- ternoon for New England will be the Harvard Cornell encounter at Cam bridge. Two weeks ago 1t was consid- cred Cornell was certain to win but since then Harvard supporters have displayed more confidence. Coach HauRhto- seems to have 1nstilled lots of fight into his team. Neither team IS as good at last year and 1t looks like an even thing so far as skill is con- cerned.
 Another contest that is attracting att tention is the Pennsylyania-Pittsb encounter at Pittsburg. G,enn War ners pupils have made wonderful record this season but Penn's feat in beating Penn State makes 1t appear as if the Quakers will prove formidable opponents. Some of the spice was taken out of the Dartmouth Princeton match by the fact that Georgetown beat the Green eleven last Saturday. Nevertheless Princeton is likely to be surprised if the players underestimate the strength of the Dartmouth team. Yale has a grudge game with Wash ington & Jefferson. This little college has defeated Yale two years in success sion and the Blue coaches don't care to have another defeat chalked up. Yale is a much str"- ser team than last year but W. & J. is probably not so good. The Pennsylvanians average only 163 but still havn Fullback Mc- Creight and Quarterback Stobbs, the forward pass experts.
 It was announced today that the Yale football management will prob ably start the Washington-Jefferso game at 3 o'clock tomorrow instead of past two weeks. Braden has been criticised as a mechanical player who afforded little interference to his fel- low backs, but his line driving has been the most powerful of any Yale

Strangely coineidsnt.

Careful observers OF the Mexican situ'
alton were not surprised, OF course, that
the activities OF the mysterious person
called "Nilla" should have been resumed
at this particular time They would
rather have been surprised had he failed
10 put in an appearance for the hour
was ripe, The joint commission ON
Mexican affairs, NJ New London, was
making certain, il slow, progress toward
a settlement OF the differences between
the two republics; there were growing
prospects OF the early withdrawal OF
American troops from Mexican territory
and the indications were pointing TO the
! floating of loan that would produce
funds enough to stabilize Mexican cur
rency and put the Carranza government
on its feet. In short, the conditions
were altogether opportune for a bandit
raid in chihuahua, and the raid took
place.
II was intended by the opportunists,
north or south of the Rio Grande, that
General Pershing, General Funston, Gen
eral Bell, and the rest, should be con.
WINGED that il would now be safe to
leave Mexico in Mexican hands. On the
contrary. il was planned TO convince
them that salvation for Mexico lay al
together in American occupation. Con-
tinued American occupation is the one
thing calculated to irritate the Mexican
people, and to set loose the cry that
Carrsnza is either a dupe or tool OF
the Washington government. So, to in
sure continuance of occupation, the
most effective thing to do was get up
a villa" raid. And it was gotten up,
with such promptness and eleverness as
leaves little doubt regarding the re-
sources and efficiency of the anti-Car'
rama organization on both sides of the
border.
Since the attack on Chihuahua, Guada-
laiara, Hidalgo, Tampico and Vera Cruz
have all been raided by Villa That
individual is, apparently, very much at
large, and travelling by express night and
day, stopping, perhaps, only long enough
TO open and read his mail from the Unit.
ed States. 1t is necessary that he shall
be kept advised constantly with regard
to the progress of the conference at New
London. Otherwise he would not know
how to time his raids.
Let it be reported that the Joint com.
missioners are about to come TO general
and satisfactory agreement, the result OF
which would be the withdrawal of Amer.
lean troops from Mexican territory, and
the extension OF American credit TO the
de facto government and VILLAS raids
will, no doubt. become more numerous
and alarming than ever But they must
soon come to stop. The conspiracy be
hind the bandit has run its course. It's
operations have become too transparent
1t is not now producing even tolerable
melodrama, and some OF its recent per
formances have bordered on the farcical.-
