ANNIVERSARIES
 OF RING BATTLES

1S94-Al Mccoy, claimant of the middleweight championship, born in Burleigh, N. J. Mccoy claimed the middleweight honors in April, 1914, when he knocked out George Chip in the first round of a bout in Brooklyn. Chip had claimed the title when he whipped Frank Klaus, who had beat en Papke, who had claimed the cham pionship after the death of Ketchel. The foundation of this championship structure is not valid, for Papke's alle- gation that the championship revert ed to him, as ex-champion, when Ket- chel died has no support in pugilistic precedent, Since he defeated Chip, Al Mccoy has taken part in many no-decision bouts, and has won very few of them, but as no opponent has succeeded in knocking him out he still clings to his title" In a re- turn bout with Chip the "cheese champion" was hammered all over the ring, but George couldn't put over a knockout. Young Ahearn, Jimmy Clabby and others have also given Al bad 30 minutes, but he kept his title intact. Mccoy started fighting in Maine. and has been in the game over six years.

TRYING
 TO MAKE TEAMS
 ATTACK STRONGER

Princeton, N. J., Oct. 18-Treasurer and General Manager e. R. Murray ot the Princeton Athletic Association, an- nounced last evening that as far as he knew the game with Lafayette would be played at Princeton on Sat- urday. He has received no word to the contrary as yet from the Lafayette management and he has therefore gone ahead with his original plans to stage the contest at Princeton.
 Another long workout was in order { for the Tiger squad yesterday after noon, a large part of the time being devoted to improving the offense, which was so noticeab1y weak against Tufts.
 Alan Blown, the right half back. scored both of these and was respon- sfble for many Nof the Tigers long gains. Brown shattered the scrubs line, getting away from several long runs The performance of the new Tiger half back in Saturdays contest was somewhat of disappointment to many who expect him to be one of the start men in the Princeton back field, but it is thought that he may have had an off day.
 Dave Tibbott took the position at left half back, as Moore is still kept from practice by his injury. Tibbott supplanted Eberstadt. who has been filling the position for nearly two weeks. He will probably hold the position until Moore gets back into condition, when it is probable that hn 1otf xyiJ in fo hic Tibbotts ability in dropkicking, how ever, makes him a valuable man in the backfeld.
 Rush is still drilling the Princeton players on forming interference for the runner and then making effective use of it after they have it. There was also a long drill in this depart ment of the game.

HARVARD SHOWING BIG IMPROVEMENT
 ON THE DEFENSE

Cambridge, Mass, Oct. 1S-Al though the Harvard coaches had far from their full complement of play CTS, the expected drive in the Stadium started in earnest yesterday afternoon. There was an hours scrimmage be- tween the best Varsity team available and the scrubs, the regulars showing a lot of speed in their attack and scoring five touchdowns. The scrubs had the ball often, but made little headway. Altogether, the coaches regarded the practice as one. of the most satisfactory the Crimson Varsity has had from a defensive standpoint for some time.
 It is noticeable that Percy Haughton is resolved to get his first-string men back into first-class shape before sub hitting them to any hard football. This afternoon Gamer played at tackle for the first time in ten days, but was soon sent to the sidelines, Richards, who only recently returned from the hospital, taking his place. Batchelder worked for a time at tackle on the left wing, but Wheeler, the old Wor- cester Academy star, did most of the work.
 Captain Dadmun, although not in the best of trim himself, insists on keeping in the game all the time and did not give way to Dean, a big fel- low who recently was brought up from guard from the scrubs. All of the first-string backs got into the play with the exception of Flower and Bond. Minot, whose kicking is much needed on the team, showed a well come improvement in running with the ball both through the line and around the end. He made two of the touchdowns, Horween and Casey getting one each, and Gaston, one of the substitute ends, scoring on for ward pass.
 The forwards looked better than at any time last week and the line players are surely improving under the hard coaching.

New York, Oct, 1S-Because of he poor support given the Washing ton club by home fans during the past seven seasons there is a>report in ma jor league circles that Clark Griffith will try to move his Senators to Brooklyn next year. Washington park. the field used by the Federal leaguers in Brooklyn, could be secured and although Owner Ebbets ofBrook- lyn might object it is probable that he could be pacified.
 Before Griffith started the big Washington uplift in 1912, Washing ton had been a fair paying club in the East. During the entire history of major league baseball in Washing ton--both National League and Amer fcan League-the Senators had never been in the first division until Griffith pulled them up to second place in 1912. With a pitching staff built around Johnson. an inf1eId constructed around McBride and an outfield with Feb Milan for the. pivot, Washington had some pretty goodi baseball for several years.% It was Griffith's boast that he beat out the worlds cham pion club in both 1912 and 1913. Last year the Senators started to drop back and were a poor fourth. This year. after a good start they slipped fast and finished sixth-Washingto first sec

ond division club in space of five years.
 In 1912, 1913 and 1914 Washington was one of the best breadwinners in baseball, but much of the clubs profits were due to it's fine drawing powers on the road. With their taste educated to first division ball, Wash ington gave its club scant support dur ing the past two seasons. The many diplomatic tangles which have faced the administration since the outbreak of the European war are given as one of the leading reasons for the lack of interest in the Senators.
 There has been talk going around for some time that the Washington club would be moved to Toronto, but that just now is not a possibility. Yes terday several International baseball men informed the writer that they have suggested to Johnson that he move his Washington franchise to Brooklyn and that he is giving the matter consideration. One of these men, who is very close to Johnson, said:
 eff Washington is toA be moved, there is only one logical place to move the club, and that is Brooklyn. With its tremendous increase in popu1a- ton Brooklyn should be one of the best baseball cities in the East"

YANKEES PASSED
 UP CHAPMAN AND
 WILL USE MAiSEL

New York. Oct. 18.-Capt. T. L.. Huston of the Yankees said yesterday that mo attempt would be made to secure Roy Chapman of the Cleve- lands to play second base next year. The Captain declared that Manager Donsvan would depend on Fritz Maisel after Joe Gedeon had received another opportunity to play the posi- ton. Maisel's throwing arm should he as strong as ever in the spring.
 Huston says that 1t would be hard to obtain MaisePs equal as hitter and base steaier, also that the little fellow ought to play the keystone bag as well as the average. The. deci- sion to pass up a deal for Chapman is due to- the belief that he has lost his speed because of a broken leg.
 The Yankees offered $25,000 for Chapman's pelease last winter, but c. W. Somers, former owner of the Clevelands, turned the proposition down.

BROWN EXPECTS
 BEST ELEVEN OF
 REGENT SEASONS

Providence. R. l., Oct. 1SIThe over whelming defeat of Amhefst last Sat- urday and the general tone and make up of the squad have inspired great football hopes at Brown. There is a sense of security at Brown which it has seldom been able to feel in the wealth of the coaches. For every po- sition there are two or more subs who are well able to give a good account of themselves when called upon.
 DeVitalis and fIillhouse are two fullbacks who gain consistently both are good, there being little difference in their playing ability. Purdy is one of the best plunging quarters Brown has had, and Jimmie Murphy, Hug gins and Shea are all in good shape to handle the team, as shown in Sat urday's contest. At halfback there are five or, six men, each of whom has his own particular field of action; Pollard, Jemail. Conroy, Amman, Brooks, Armstrong and E. M. Mur- phy form a remarkable aggrega- tion.
 For ends there are Weeks, Mashall and Ornsby, together with Robertson Carler, McSweeney, Zelcer and Dono- van, any one of whom plays a strong game. Tackles are taken care of by Capt. Farnum, Ward and M. s. P Williams. all of varsity calibre, and I.athrop and Chamberlain showed themselves well capable of filling in last Saturday. There are any num- Der of good guards. Spagna,, Wade regulars, and Teets, Nichols and Bit ting, subs. For centre there are Sprague and Berriman.
 The Brown lineup is one of the heaviest and strongest for many sea- sons and with the wealth of material practising every day at Andrews Field the coaching staff should develop one of S-e strongest e1evens representing the college on the hill in years, pro- vided the jinx does not infiict a lot of injuries on the team.
 The team came out Of Saturdays scrimmage extremely well, muscle and other minor bruises being the only toll fact which is the more remarkable when 1t is remembered that the Bru- nonian eleven was on the offensive practically the whole afternoon and such an aggressive game takes more out of the men than defensive work.

STILL REfUNDING
 TO BROOKLYN HOLDERS OF TICKETS

New York, Oct. 18.-C1erks of the Mechanics and Peoples Bank had an- other busy day yesterday refunding money to holders of third game tick cts for the worlds series at Ebbets Field. Approximately $10,0Oo was paid 70 the fans and nearly all of the once preclous pasteboards are now in the hands of the Brooklyn club.
 The widows were open again today, but after o'clock this afternoon, all persons holding tickets will have to- mail them to the club at their own risk. Mr. Ebbets said yesterday that only a few thousand dollars remains to te paid pack, and he hopes to have the matter settled by tonight. The club is still for sale, but no definite offs- has been made either to Presi- Gent Ebbets or the McKeever brothers.

Among the recruits who came from that league were Jimmy Johnston, the Brooklyn outfielder, Outfielder Wilhoit of the Braves, Catcher Schmidt of the Pirates, Pitcher Stanley Covelskie of Cleveland, Dstcher Love and Infielder+ Gedeon of the Yankees. Outfelder Heilman of Detroit, Infelders Ness, McMullen, T>rry, Catcher Lynn and Pitcher Williams of the White Sox.
 Lawrence Perry, the New York Eve ming Post expert, says one of Yale's weaknesses is the lack of a man to kick goals from touchdowns. He says LeGore h; always been a failure in this department. Perry points out that important games have been lost by inability to get this additional point.
 The Carlisle Indians have returned to football, although the government at one time threatened to abolish the game at the school. It has been agreed that the Indians will be allowed to play six games this season, all with minor colleges. Yesterday the red skins downed the Lebanon Valley re- serves by 20 to 6.
 The proposed bout between Jack Dillon and Al Mccoy in New York has caused considerable comment in box ing circles. It was said that the state commission ought to forbid the stag ing of the fight on the ground that it would be too one-sided. The critics think Dillon will give Mccoy a terri ble beating but the commission has no
 '~'t to prohibit man taking a beat ing if he wants tp.
 These are the saddest days of the year for Owner Charley Ebbets of the BrooFiyn club. Think of all that
 money ne had to return to Brooklyn fans.

New Haven, Oct. 18-As result of injuries sustained in the Lehigh game last Saturday several of Yale's first string players were unable to participate in yesterdays practice at the field Captain Black and Gait, guards, will not regain their best form this week. Gait will be unable to start tile game here, Friday as an ex- animation yesterday showed that he suffers a broken bone in his hand.
 Three touchdowns were made by the varsity team against the scrubs. the first two by Fullback Emil Jacques closing a series of short gains for nearly the length of the field.

(By Wagner)

Arrangements have been made by Manager Healy of the American Chain Co. eleven to bring the All-Water- bury team here next Sunday. The Fort Terry team had originally been sched- uled but even though the soldiers held the Winchesters of New Haven to a IA to z score last Sunday, the local manager decided to take no chances. He wants to be sure that the opposing team will be strong enough to make the Chain boys hustle. sA>
 The All-Waterburys average 1855 and contain number of veteran play CTS. They have not appeared in this city in three years so the attraction should be good. The Chain manage ment has secured 1900 new seats from Hartford and there will be in place for Sundays crowd.
 Holyoke wants to get into the Eas- tern league again. Fans in that city say they will support a team under the proper management and because of it's rivalry with Springfield it is felt that the Paper City would be ar addition to the circuit. If Pieper took his Lynn club to Holyoke he would have the crowds turning out in great style.
 Yale is copying the elaborate scout ing system which Harvard has main tained 'or so many years. Pat Os- borne, . member of the Yale squad a year ago. has been watching the Washington & Jefferson. eleven in re- cent games.
