Faulkes' Manager Is
 Out With Claim of
 McAuliffe's s Defeat

Pete Fitzgerald, who manages Bud- dy Faulkes, sends the following words of praise:
 Buddy Faulkes, the second George Dixon, is putting on the finishing touches of his training at George Mul- |ligan's gymnasium in Waterbury, and is almost on edge right now for his match with McAu1iffe tomorrow night.
 "Faulkes will surely beat Mac and his friends throughout the state of Connecticut will be. greatly surprised at Buddy's improvement. He made a tremendous hit in New York when he easily outboxed and outfought Leo Johnson, who is supposed toN be a top notch lightweight; he also scored four knockdowns over Monte Attell which proves that Buddy is hitting much harder.
 Buddy will weigh about 128 pounds tomorrow night and while McAuliffe will slightly outweigh him, still his superior speed and cleverness should easily overcome that handicap. If McAuliffe only makes his usual az gresss-a fight, the fans are in for a treat as Buddy Faulkes will be with him all the way" v....

.cENJER CALLAHAN AND zENNER HURT
 IN YALE PRACTICE

New Haven, Sept. 2S.-Several of the Yale football stars who have been in retirement the past week or two be- cause of slight bruises yesterday re- turned to the practice and some oi them left it almost immediately. Two men, Center-rush Callahan and Guard Zenner, were hurt during the first ten minutes of scrimmaging- Although both will probably miss the fun of the opening game of the season on Satur- day, they will be back in the rush line next week.
 Harry LeGore, Bob Bingham and Howell Van Nostrand were in the practice and LeGore shone as again a star of the first magniture. He was used at right halfback, Bingham being assigned to left. LeGore scored two touchdownsN on loping end runs which carried him some 20 yards for score dn each case and he was directly respon- sible for 1the third touchdown of the varsity, / when he heaved a forward pass to Church, who caught it under the goal posts. E
 The scrubs refused to be quieted by the triple scoring of the varsity, two of last seasons freshman stars getting into the limelight for the first time this fall when Quarterback LaRoche, who succeeded Van Nostrand as field general of the scrubs, worked free for a. quarterback run of, 30 yards, and Carey, halfback, lifted field goal by the dror-kick route from the varsity 30-yard line.
 The work of Rex" Hutchinson has been a big disappointment to the Yale coaches. Hutchinson has developed a heayy-footedness which enables the defeAse to plug up holes before he hits the line

LES DARCY WON'T LEAVE AUSTRALIA
 IS LATEST REPORT

New, York, Sept 2S.-Gambling on boxing matches is wide open in Aus tralia and the fighters make more money betting than in purses, having an edge on the book makers through knowing the result in advance in many cases. As always happens when there is much betting, there is a great deal of sharp pracffee and double dealing. For a long time Australians never seemed to suspect what was going on, but of late they have begun to wake up and the newspapers are roasting the fakers- st. Apparently the report that Les Oar cy was about to offer himself as food for the cannon was i'll founded. Latest reports from Australia say that he has been able to sidestep mi1itaCys duty, and while he may don uniform he will not leave the country. k
 Even in England most of the crack boxers have influence enough to avoid the trenches. Rombardier Wells, the perpetual English heavyweight cham pion, parades around in uniform, but he is not likely to go to the front. Jim my Wilde also has been able to avoid shouldering a musket. On the other hand, many second and third raters from both England and Australia have been killed in action.

Battling Levinsky Is
 In There Claiming the
 Worlds Title Again

Having nothing else to do Dan Nor gan has been sending out letters claiming the worlds championship for Battling Levinsky again. Here's what Dan says:
 Battling Levinsky, who has whipped every heavyweight in the world, in- cluding Jack Dillon, Is now ready to defend the worlds title against aE corners. Jess Willard, who now weighs nearly 300 pounds, is considered a cir GUS freak and not a champion and that means that Battling Levinsky, who has whipped every heavyweight, is en- titled to call himself the heavyweight champion.
 "Levinsky is ready at all Ntimes to box either white or black. and that means that he will be without doubt one of the most popular champions that ever lived. He stands ready to box 30 or 40 times a year and he doesn't want 900 guarantees. The public always get their moneys worth in scientific boxing, speed and game ness, when Battling Levinsky steps into the ring"

TRIPLE
 HELPS GIANTS TO
 GET 23RD VICTOY

New York, Sept. 2S.-Most of the Giants were entirely satisfied to let their record Tbreaking run remain at twenty-two games yesterday. but not so with Charley Herzog. In the ninth, with the score 2 to against the Prides of the Polo Grounds and in favor of the sahd St. Louis Cardinals, HerZog pounded a three-bagger against the right field wall and push ed over the two runs which tied the score
 Most of the crowd had gore home. taking it for granted that the Giant conflagration was under control. Those who remained to see the glorious fi- nale lapsed into spasms of hysterics which gave passers-by the impression that John McGraw had been elected president or something like that.
 All this transpiEed in the tempes- tuous ninth inning then came the tenth, when the flaring Giants loaded up the bases with three hits and Bob Steele, the Cardinal pitcher, who had been holding the record-smashers in the palm of his hand, unfurled a wild pitch, and Heinie Zim dashed home with the hurrah tally which won the game for McGraw's lads, to 2.
 If it means anything in your young life, this rare necklace of twenty three straight .pearly victories ties the minor league record. which was made by Wilke-Barre, Penn, in 1912.
 Up to the last of the ninth inning the Giants chances looked as If they were worth a badly damaged nickel. Steele had given them but four hits and they were batting like team. of pitchers. On the other hand. as the teacher said after she had pounded one of Willie Jones's palms to'a rosy hue, the Cardinals played as If they were charged, with red pepper and ginger. In three innings they belted George Anderson and his moist pei let out of the box.
 It was no joy to any one to see An derson rapped into the clubhouse, thus apparently starting the Giants on the road to defeat earlier in the season, when Anderson was the only Giant pitcher who could win a game. Since the great winning drive started all of them are stalwarts save poor An derson.
 Rube Benton came to the rescue and squelched the Cardinals in their uncharitable drive. Rube gave way to a pinch hitter and two innings were pitched by George Smith, the young columbia collegian. who did his job well.

.U.M.C. AND. CHAIN :
 CLASH SATURDAY

The series between the U. M. c. and Chain Co., teams to settle the cham pionship of the Industrial league will start Saturday at Newf1eld park. The second game will be staged Sunday at Newf1eld. An effort had been made to get the Giants for Sunday but ar engagements could not be made.
 The league directors recently award cd the U. M. c. boys the flag on a technicality but the munition players did pot care to win parlor pennant so it was decided to have a series As the Chain team was ahead on games actually played it was ordered that Healy's club should be the U. M. c. opponents. There it bitter rivalry be- tween the teams and large crowds will probably attend the series.

RoDRIGuEzSE
 BY M'GRAW TO
 ROCHESTER CLUB

New York, Sept. 28-The Giants have released three youngsters to the Rochester Internationals. They are Joe Rodriguez, first baseman; Joe Schooner, third baseman, and Sand berg, catcher.
 Rodriguez has been practicing at the Polo Grounds since he finished the season with New London, with which the Cuban acrobat was easily the best first sacker of the Eastern league. Schepner. with Troy-Read- ing, was the best man at his position in the New York State league. Sand berg, a local product, was a teammate of Schepner. Rodriguez is to replace Walter Holke.

JACK BARRY TO <
 PLAY IN WORLDS SERIES FOR BOSTON

Boston. Sept. 2S-That Jack Barry. star second baseman of the worlds champion Red Sox. will play in the coming worlds series, provided the Boston team wins the pennant. is con- sidered almost a certainty. Barry is daily improving and seems to be in top notch condition except for a slight weakness in his throwing arm. It was stated by one of the officials of the club that the chances are very good for the brainy infielder taking part in the championship games.

OAUBERT GAINING ON RIVALS SEEKING
 HoNORS IN HITTING

The outstanding feature of the race for/the batting supremacy in the Ma tional league yesterday was that Jake Daubert moved up to second place. AS the result of Tuesdays work he tied Zack' Wheat, but yesterday he passed his teammate. The Dodger captain made one hit in three times up, while Wheat, in the same number of times at bat, failed to strike safe blow.
 Hal Chase was idle, and Roger Hornsby lost a fraction of a point. In the four times at. bat the Cardinal star made only ene hit. Neither the Tigers nor the Indians played yester- day, and the figures on Iris Speaker and Ty Cobb remained the same.
 Here is how the four National o,a oadarS stand.

BASEBALL BITS

If the Giants had broken even on their last Western trip they would have won the pennant.
 With the Giants, Braves, Phfllies and Robins mixing it up until the middle of next week the final stand ing in the National League will be awaited with widespread interest
 Cleveland fans are downcast. They expected a first division berth for Lee Fohps Indians. They can blame weak pitching.
 Again rumored that Fred Mitchell, recently signed for three years to act as the Braves coach. will manage the Cubs next year. Tinker is through.
 Barney Dreyfuss is said to be tired of baseball. He may sell the Pirates before the snow begins to fly. Drey fuss has been in rather poor health for some time and cannot stand the worry.
 Rumored that four major league clubs are for sale. There'll be some busy times among the baseball politi- clans after the worlds series ends
 John McGraw has presented the ball which the Giants won when they hung up the twenty-first victory on Monday to the Rev. T. E. Gilmartin. rector of the Church of the Blessed Sacrament. McGraw covered the ball with the signatures of the New York and St. Louis players. Father Gil- rr<iv, tel Ansonia, where many big league teams stop. will place the ball in the museum of the parochial school, to be inspected by future generations.
 The Western teams of the National League fill need much strengthening if they expect to be heard from next year. At present they are decidedly punk.
 The Browns will wind up their sea- son after three games with the Tigers. The Yankees, who were tied with the Browns last night, may finish in the first division if they win one game in Boston and two out of three from the Washingtons at the Polo Grounds next week.
 It is generally believed that next year George Sisler of the St. Louis Browns will be the American Leagues star player. Sisler has made wonder full progress. He is expected to give Speaker, Cobb, Jackson and other big hitters a close rub in 1917.
 The Phillies excel the Brooklyns at shortstop and third base. Bancroft and Stock excel Olson and Mowrey by a wide margin.

Yale Pays Two Coaches

In addition to having a hard time downing It's rivals on the football field Yale is the victim of bad luck with the coaching problem. After last years disas astrous campaign it was de- cided to let Frank Hinkey pass out. But there a complication right at this point. Hinkey had a contract which had not expired. Tad Jones was en- gagged as Hinkey's successor at big salary so while he Is receiving pay for directing Yale's fortunes on the grid- iron. Hinkey is also under salary. He reported at the start of the season in order to keep the terms of his con- tract. It is said the document expires at the close of this season.

FOURNIER STILL A BOY.
White Sox Infielder Is Great Slu10er.
 Other New Sporting Gossip. a

Although Jacques Fournier. tho, White Sox first baseman, has display. ed this season a considerable falling off in his slugging proclivities, he has plenty of time to beat back" for he is only twenty-four today. The big Frenchman was born in the Michigan village of Au Sable on Sept. 28, 1892. It was while a high school student in Tacoma that Fournier first began to attract attention as a ball player, and he was only fifteen, but big for his years, when he landed a profess sional job with Aberdeen, Wash. He finished the, 1908 season in Seattle uniform, and was sold to the Portland club of the Pacific Coast League for the 1909 season. Jacques played be- hind the bat in those days. The six teen-year old kid wasn't quite fast enough for the Coast Circuit and he finished 1909 with the Portland Nor'westers. In 1910 Jacques was given another chance to shine in the select baseball company of the sum- set coast this time with Sacramento, but along in August he was sent back to Aberdeen, where he had started. In. 1911 he returned to the North western League with Vancouver, re- maining until June, when he was turned over to Moose Jaw, in the Western Canada circuit.
 Up to his arrival in Moose Jaw. Jacques had always played behind the bat, with occasional outfield duty. In the Saskatchewan he was tried out on the initial bag. and got away with 1t in fine style. What was more important, he began to bang the pellet all over the lot, and hung up a batting average for the season of
 377, standing second in the league. Fourniers good work helped Moose Jaw grab the gonfalon, and the young phenom was drafted by the Red Sox. He reported to Stahrs outfit in 1912. but was soon turned over to the White Sox. The sudden transfer from Moose Jaw to Chicago gave the Frenchman an attack of stage fright. and after taking part in a few games. in which his batting was poor. Calla- han sent him to Montreal for further experience. He batted\ 1909 for the Royals, and was recalled by Chicago in 1913. The following year Jacques recovered his old Moose Jaw batting eye, and fell on the American League twirlers for an average of .311, which he fattened last year to .322. This season Foufnier has been in a bat ting slump, comparatively speaking. to the great grief of his employer. the venerable MT. Comiskey.
 Bob Moha got only forty bones for whipping Joe Cox in New York. while big Joe got $500. A real fight CT like Moha doesn't stand much of a chance in these days. when boxing is conducted along strictly business lines.
 Charley White and Ad Wolgast agree that boxing referees are just what Boston fans say National League umpires are, only more so.
 George Chaney says that the sem sation of being knocked out is not painful. All present who are willing to take his word for it will please say Aye" ~F ft
