MORGAN CLIMBS INTO RING.
Signals Referee to Save Brown From
 Fists of Lewis.

New York, Jan. Dan Morgan broke a worlds managerial record last night by openly admitting defeat for his charge, Knockout Brown, in the latter's bout with Banty Lewis of Jersey City at the Pioneer A. c. Lewis had Brown on the ropes in the seventh round when Morgan climbed into the ring and signalled the referee, Patsy Haley, to stop the bout
 The first round was an even thing and Lewis foored Brown cleanly for a short count in the second. Brown then rallied and the third, fourth, fifth and sixth sessions were his by a wide margin. In the light of what developed laterit appeared that Lewis must have been playing 'possum for a while. He opened the. seventh round with an onslaught that drove the awkward left handler around the ring at a rapid clip. Brown, who rcver backs up of his own accord, was literally forced to break ground, punched about from pillar to post. With a minute of the round still to go Brown was a badly beaten young East Slider, and his manager acted in be- half of humanity when he made his spectacular ascent onto the platform

HAVE NOT MADE UP.
Connie Mack Denies That Peace Has
 Been Restored With StaIIings.

Philadelphia Jan. 7-The presence of a game with Boston Nationals on the Athletics spring training sched- ule led one of the local writers to ask Connie Mack yesterday if he had made up'' with George Stallings.
 ''Certainly not" snapped Connie. "I have scheduled a game with the Braves on March 31, at Jacksonville, but the negotiations were carried on with President Gaffney. of the Boston club, and not with Stallings. It is just as I said before, we will play anybody, but that does not mean that I have had any dealings with Stall ings. I will have nothing to do with him."
 The trouble between Mack and Stallings occurred prior to the worlds series of 1914, when Stallings insist ed upon using Shibe park for prac- tice during the afternoon when the Athletics wanted to use the park for their own drill. Stallings gave out some strong statements at the time and threatened to assault Mack The series was played without any blood she'd however.

JANVRIN A HOLDOUT
Red Sox InfieIder is Expected to Come
 to Terms Soon.

Boston, Jan. 7-Harold Janvrin is one Red Sox player who has not yot put his name to a contract for the coming season. Joseph Lannin had a talk with the young Boston player after the season was over and he is not worrying about him. He has a high regard for Janvrin. The time to sign up for next season was before the Federal league struck its colors, but in the case of Janvrin it is be lieved it will make little difference, as the boy fills the bill for the Red Sox.
 President Hedges and Manager Branch Hickey of the St Louis Browns urged Lannin to make q trade for Janvrin last season, but the Boston owner would not think of allowing him to leave Boston. Per haps he will emulate Iris Speaker. who usually does not sign up untR after arriving at the training grounds.

HEAVYWEIGHTS IN RING.
Moran and Coffey in Return Bout
 Tonight at the Garden

New York, Jan. Jim Coffey, the Roscommon Giant will make an at tempt to retrieve his fistic laurels to- night at Madison Square Garden, where he will face Frank Moran, his conqueror, in a ten round bout. A few months ago in the same arena Moran knocked out Coffey in the third round. The deciding blow was struck on the chin. The blow was thought to have eliminated Coffey as a heavyweight championship pos sibility. Coffey took a long rest, and was matched with Gunboat Smith, who had beaten both Moran and Champion Jess Willard. Coffey scored a clean knockout, and then de- manded a return engagement with Moran. The winrer will probably be matched with Jess Willard for the championship.
 In the ten-round semi-fin Young Joe Thomas of California faces Paul Freeda, who has been boxing with Ted Lewis. Percy Aubrey and Young Allen will open the show with six round bout,

ARMY
TRAINING IS URGED
Ohio State University Professor
Gives.Reasons in. Support Of
Bill.

DIR. Edward orion. jr.. until lately
dean of the Engineering School OF the
Ohio State University, and now a re-
search professor in engineering In the
faculty OF that institution, has come
out in a statement strongly supporting
compulsory military training.
The bill. which was prepared by Capt.
George v. II. Mosely OF the general
star. Is now In the hands Of Chairman
George e. Chamberlain of the Senate
Committee on Military Affairs, and will
be introduced at the coming session.
The statement of DIR. orion. which
was issued today by the Association for
National Service. Is devoted principally
to answering the objections which have
been raised against the provisions OF
the bill which direct that the training
shall be for a period of six months. and
that 1t shall be given during the calen-
dar year In which the youth reaches
the age of eighteen.
DR.. Orton's statement in part follows:
at Is a long step ahead to go from
what we now have to a six months
enforced training. and believe that an
effort should be made to get this much.
rather than to imperil the whole plan
by asking more, until the nation be-
comes awake to its needs.
"Six months tour could be made Ia
begin in April and October of each
year. so that two classes could be put
through per year. and with the same
instructing force and equipment. This
would approximately cut in half the
cost, which would materially enhance
our chances of getting II through.
Certain classes of men can get away
from their work at one time OF the
year as well as another. and others
could not. ] think, therefore. that II O
choice OF time were given. II would re.
move one OF the severest obstacles &c
getting the plan through.
ION the question whether eighteen oil
twenty years should be the date Al
which military service would be ex'
acted. would say that | favor an elastic
plan, making eighteen the minimum
and twenty-one the miximum age.
Physiological reasons. All boys arr
not equally mature at eighteen. o.
course they are not equally mature a.
twenty-one either. but the relative
difference Is very much less. and Al
twenty-one all are mature enough t.
serve. II they are ever likely to be abb,
to serve at all. To make a really gooC
soldier. a man must be old enough In
tellectually to be able to assimilate tn,
real mental training involved. and ye
be young enough to be reached by anC
susceptible to the emotional appeal o.
patriotism.v

CIVILIZATION NEARLY
COST PRODUCERLIFE
Thomas J. Ince Tells Difficulties
Encountered In Making Big
Film Spectacle.

Thomas II. Ince. the producer of
civilization" the imposing motion pic
turc spectacle play. which begins an
engagement at the Strand Theater to-
day. claims humorously to have had all
most % much trouble In making the
film as civilization has had in making
the world.
The big producer declares he has
never undertaken such job in his life.
Twice he was almost killed in connection
with the picture. and the time and
money that were expended, he states,
were sufficient to turn out a hundred
ordinary photoplays.
II all the film actually used to pho
tograph the various scenes were dis
played 1t would require three days and
half Of continuous running of a mo-
tfon picture machine to show II. That is
both the spectator and the film operator
would be compelled to remain on the
Jop exactly seventy-five hours con-
tinuously to run off all of the film.
There were more than 300. 900 feet Of film
made. and the biggest task that met
the producer. he states. was to select
those parts which should remain In
the play when II should be reduced to
l-0oo feet-all that can be shown in the
course of two and three-fourths hours.
allotted to an EVENING" entertainment.
1t was while he was making ready to
cut and assemble the film that Mr..
1nce was almost killed. Fire started In
ono of the cutting rooms, and almost
before the flames were extinguished.
MP. Ince and his assistants were SO
severely burned that their physicians
ordered them to remain on their beds.
Ince had already lost six weeks time
in preparing the film through an auto
mobile accident, however. and he re-
fused to remain In bed. Another print
was obtained and the making of titles,
etc, went on with what remained OF
the first print after the fire.
