HANLY ATTACKS WILSON.
Chiefly Because of His "Standpattism" in
Liquor Question.

Rochester, n Y, Oct. 24.-Under the
/ influence of a picturesque and cordia
reception j.. Frank Hanly, the Prohibition
presidential candidate, last night here
turned his guns on President Wilson, de
claring his "standpattism on the liquor
question outstripped the "Aldrichs, Can,
mons and Penroses in their blndest and
most reactionary hours
| Hanly based his attack on letters re-
ceived by the Prohibitionists from Sec
rotary Tumulty declaring that the pres
ident's attitude on the liquor issue had
stood unchanged for almost six years.
"He has not changed his mind on this
issue in six years, though the whole
world hast" Hanly shouted. Then Hanly
declared that in that period the world
had learned from science, students OF
economic and sociology, the European
war, the car OF Russia, most OF the
Canadian provinces, and twelve OF the
dry states that Prohibition was right.
"The president has seen the world
passing before him in triumphal march
toward liquors abolition. Hanly CON
tinued, but he has not changed his
mind and has learned nothing concern
ing it, He has changed his mind upon
every other policy of state that has come
before him Other events have educated
him. Panama tolls, woman suffrage the
legality and desirability of tariff duties
laid for protection, military preparedness,

PEELED him to change his mind and in

WHITE SOX KEEP IN FLAG RAGE BY
 DEFEATING TANKS

Chicago, Sept. 25.-Turning from a rear guard action to a frontal attack. the, White Sox defeated the Yankees here yesterday afternoon, by to l, while Boston was being trimmed by Cleveland.N The victory of the locals and the defeat of the champions les- sened the gap between the pair to two and one-half games. Delying into the higher mathematics of the race, Chi cago plight still be figured contender Tor fife flag if the Red Sox would only acconmodatinglyg go to pieces and lose four or five games.
 In order to win yesterdays contest Claude Williams had to come back to mid-season form, as the Sox could find Nick Cullop for only four safeties. Williams was nicked for six hits in nine rounds, while the four blows reg 'istered off Cullop were made in seven, Allen Russell pitching the final part of the game for the Yanukees,
 Half of the visitors hits came in the first inning, but, although an error was added, the Tanks were unable, to profit to the extent of more than one run. After this, initial -spasm Williams settled down and pitched a beautiful game, besides contributing a triple in the third inning, which, however, de- spite the fact that hs had pried the in ming open with the blow, failed to grow anything bigger. Williams had eight. strikeouts to his credit, whiting the side in the fifth. He gave two bases on balls and hit one man. CuIlop famed three. but did not issue a pass. and neither did Russell. The bases shows the tiPhtness of the bat tie.

ANNIVERSARIES
 OF RING BATTLES

1S93-George Dixon stopped Solly Smith in seven rounds at Coney Island. This was the first time Smith had ever been defeated. Solly, a Los An geles boy. had knocked out such good men as the ferocious Dal Hawkins and the veteran Johnny Griffin, "the Braintree Lad," and had fought a 56- round draw with George Siddons, ''The Iron Man." The clever little black boy was "2 mutch" for him, however, and Solly had to postpone his ambition to annex the featherweigiht title. He set out to get more exper- fence and fought draws with Griffo, Kid Lavigne, Frank Erne, Tom Denny, Tommy White and Johnny Lavack. and defeated Oscar Gardiner. In 1897 Smith was ready to tackle Dixon again for the featherweight title. They fought 20 rounds in San Fran cisco. Smith had improved greatly, while Dixon had been slipping back. and Solly got the decision and was &C., claimed champion. He held the title only about year, when he lost it to Dave Sullivan, a scrappy Hibernian. Smith broke his arm in the fifth round of his contest with Dave and had to quit. He was never much good after that, and soon retired from the ring.

 GRIDIR0N CLASSICS

New York. Sept 25.-Assigned as referee to the four big college foot ball games in the east, Nate Tufts of Waltham, former Waltham high school coach and present state sena- tor from that district. will be one of the most prominent figures in the 1916 football campaign.

The Pratt & Whitney team of Hart ford. which has been cleaning up all corners in the factory ranks about Hartford. took a fine trimming from the American Chain Co., club at New field park yesterday afternoon. The final figures were 2 to r For seven innings the teams fought 0n even terms and the score was to until the latter. half of the eighth. Then the visitors blew with a loud report and the Chain boys. put six runs over the plate. J
 Much has been said about Dutch Leonard, the PrattN& Whitney pitcher, and he did appear to have a lot of stuff. His control was poor, however. Although Townsend of the. Chain Co. is not so spectacular as Leonard he appeared to be a more finished per- former. Townsend was cool at all times.
 Newbauer playedwell for the Chain Co.,. and so did Griffin. Mike Healy gave himself a workout by going to center field in the ninth. He stopped the only chance that came his way The score:

GUNB0AT SMITH IN
 MATCH WITH TOM COWLER THIS WEEK

New York, Sept. 25.-With the can cellation of the Charley Weinert-Bob Moha bout at Madison Square Garden, which was scheduled for tonight, the principal heavyweight bout of the week will take place at the Broadway Sporting club in Brooklyn tomorrow night, when Gunboat Smith of Califor- mia and Tom Cowler of England will mix it up for ten rounds. Smith is the only heavyweight who has a 20- round decision against Champion Jess Willard, but this was when Willard was a novice on the Coast.
 Smith has taken a long rest, and says that he has regained the form he had when he appeared in several good bouts here in New York some time ago. Cowler hasn't been seen in ac- tion in some time, either, and he is anxious to regain his place with local boxing fans. Both men are hard hit ters when they land, hut are not es- pecially skillful at the boving game
 The Pioneer Sporting club will offer two promising bantamweights in the main bout at their show tomorrow night. Joe Lynch and Jack Sharkey are both from the west side, and are anxious to win the right to a bout with Champion Johnny Ertle.

YALE MAY ROW COLUMBIA ON EVE OF FOOTBALL GAME

New York. Sept. 25.-Yale is desir- ous 'of continuing the rowing rela- tions which it established with Co., lumbia last fall when the two met in a two-mile race on New Haven har- bor on the day before the Yale-Prince- ton football game.
 Although no definite announcement has been made. it is known that Guy Nickalls suggested to 'the Columbia authorities last spring that Yale would be glad to row a return race with the Blue and White in the fall. This was after negotiations for a spring race between tho two had fallen through.
 Because of the revolution in Colum- bias. rowing management since the Poughkeepsie regatta and the substi- tuition of the athletic association for the rowing club as the directing au- thority. it is probable that Yale will be obliged to make new overtures. The Blue would prefer to have the race rowed at New Haven on the eve of one of its football games. but would probably agree to row in New York.

HAS
 l. BRIGHT PROSPECTS | ON FOOTBALL FIELD

Hanover, N. H., Sept. 25-With Frank Cayanaugh again at the helm, Dartmouth football prospects are de- cidedly bright. Facing the hardest schedule in years, one which calls ford meetings with five of the best teamsl in the East on successive Saturdays, the Green candidates have been out in togs since the first week in September. Daily scrimmages have been in order, and as direct result the men are in exceptionally good condition.
 Milt Ghee, who was chosen by Wal ter Camp for his mythical All-America eleven two years ago. has been ap- pointed assistant coach, succeeding Red" Loudon, the old Dartmouth end. His work with the backs has already produced results, and it would not be at all surprising if the trlo of Gerrish, Duhan1el and Thielscher proves to be the best that has represented the Han over institution in many seasons.
 Captain Gerrish, always one of the best defensive players in college foot ball, has developed an amazing ability in carrying the ball. In practice scrim- images he has been worked with great frequency and has rarely failed to
 
 White, Poole and Lehman, all season. ed men, are the most likely candidates for the secondary berths in the back field.
 Despite the loss of Cannell, the star freshman player, through failure to re- turn to college, Dartmouth is well for tified with quarterbacks. H. B. McDon- ough, the old Exeter star, and Sid Hol- brook are two letter men available, and Dick Holbrook, who was ineligible to play last year, and Switzer, a for mer' New Jersey scholastic star, are candidates of proven merit. Dart mouth is well fortified on the ends with Emery and Dussosoit, veterans, and F. McDonongh of Montgomery /an old High School of Commerce player, the most likely contenders for positions.
 In the line a serious problem con- fronts the coaches. The loss of Spears 4 the gigantic guard and an All-America choice last year, is keenly felt Spears played one year out West before com l ing to Dartmouth, so will not be avail able this fall in any other capacity | than a9 coach. Cotton, a veteran o1 several years ahding, and Trier, 8 | letter man, seem to have the call al | tackle.
 Merrill, the only veteran guard ir togs, will undoubtedly hold down his old berth, with Barrows, a ,drop-kick- l CT, Mather, a 2O0-pound man, and | Hood fighting it out for the other guard. "Slats'' Baxter, the light bu- | scrappy centre, reported late, but i. rapidly rounding into shape. Gile who won his letter last fall, also is g | "a ndidate for the pivot position

New York, Sept 25-Fat Hereux. who is on the way east with Jim Coffroth, was under the management of Jack Kearns, but left him rather unceremoniously and tied up with Coffroth. Whereat Kearns wrote a series of scorching letters to the news papers of the Coast berating Fat for his faithlessness. -.
 <As' indicating, that Hereux is gifted with more than average intelligence he did not swing on Kearns' jaw, bu, merely wrote a brief note to him, thanking him for keeping his (Fat's D name before the public and urging him to keep up the good work.

That eeerhs to be rather weak support from a borough with a 2,00O, 900 population and team that is leading the National league"

The fight is off for the time being"
 But, according to Johnston. the new date will be set as soon as the le- gal talent cah ge together and, fix q new apportionment of profits. Money received for tickets will be refunded or tickets will be reserved for the new date.
 The bout is not a championship af- fair in any sense. It is just another experiment in that eternal pugilistic problem. Can a good big man whip a good little man? Weinert is a good big man. and Moha is about as likely a little man as there is hanging abouA just now.

MITCHELL OF BRAVES LIKELY TO

Chicago, Sept. 25-Tips from the east indicate that President Weegh- man of the Cubs has been considering the availability of Fred Mitchell as an assistant or successor of Tinker. Mitchell is coach of the Boston Braves, is the power said to have kept Stallings' men in the pennant race and is set down as sure future leader in the National league.
 Mitchell was signed by Stalfngs to coach the Braves pitchers in 1913.\ It has been due to his untiring efforts that the Boston club has been able to make it's record, according to those on the inside. He had charge of the victorious Harvard nine last spring.
