CLAIMS HATFIELD AND
 NOT BRITTON SHOULD RE WELTERWEIGHT KING

Dan McKetrick,. the New York pro- moter sends the following vail about Soldier Bartfield:
 'sWhy is 1t that some of the hstlc experts persist in ealing Jack Br1tton, the welterweight champion? Britton has no legitimate claim to the title, and if the welter crown is to be 1n- herited, then by right of conquest, 1t must be placed upon the brow of Sol dier Bartfeld.
 "Britton defeated Ted Lewis in 20 rounds at New Orleans and D. J. Tor torich, the promoter, crowned Brltton king. By what right does D. J. Tor torich appoint himself Chief Justice Of the Supreme Court of Pugilism? Lewis held no European title and Britton was just one of the claimants. AS for Lewis, he was defeated by Bartf1eld at Buffalo, and was on the floor twlce Britton's claims can be best judged by hi bout with Bartfield. The Soldier defated Britton at Brooklyn and to leave no room for argument, he re- peated the dose. Bartfield also gave Mike Gibbons, the alleged Peerless One,' ten pounds and defeated him. Gibb bbons. like Britton and Lewis, was on the floor in his bout with Bartf1eld.
 "If Britton wants a clear title, he must meet Bartfield, in a contest to a decision. Britton and Lewis have no fear of each other as their circuit fights prove, but it is plain they fear the Soldier, for he is never invited to mingIe with either of them Both Britton and Lewis recognize Bart fields superiority, or they would agree to a contest"

SHOWING OF POLLARD INDICATES EXCELLENCE
 OF NEGROES IN SPORT

That football Is not exclusively strated in the past by Thorpe and other Indian gridiron stars, and now comes Fred Pollard, the negro half back of Brown University, with rec ord that cannot be overlooked by the dopesters of the inevitable all-Ameri- can elevens. In almost every line of athletics, amateur and professional, the black man has won a place for himself. In the old days Moses Walker, catcher, and Frank Grant, a second baseman. were stars in league ball, until the unwritten law barred colored men from the diamond.
 In pugilism there have been scores of great boxers, of African descent, starting with Tom Molineaux, who was really the first worlds champion. although tricked out of his honors; and including such names as Peter Jackson, George Dixon, Joe Cans, Jock Johnson, Sam Langford and Joe Jeanette. Cuba has to-day several colored ball players who are said to compare favorably with big leaguers.
 The name of Howard Drew, the ne- gro sprinter, will live long in athletic annals. Fred Pollard, the latest ad- dition to the roll of negro athletic stars, was born in Chicago twenty-one years ago. He is only feet IA in- ches in height, and weighs 155 pounds. He is a great hurdler as well as a football player. He expects to be- come a physician, and is laying at Brown the foundation for a future course in medicine.

WOODWARD GOES FROM ELM CITY TO
 PLAY IN PANAMA

New Haven, Dec. Frank Wood ward, star pitcher of the New Haven baseball club, departed for Panama last night where he will engage in winter balk Several big league stars are already engaged in the sport there and it is expected that a large num- Der of players will leave for the canal zone during the next fortnight.
 Woodward plans to stay away all winter and will return to this city when Manager Danny Murphy of the local club issues a call for opening practice next spring. Joe Tone, who played with the Consolidateds, local semi-professional aggregation, last season, also expects to leave for Pan anna within the next few days.
 Woodward is a New Haven boy and proved one of the sensations of the Eastern league season. The, past sea- son marked his entry into the profes- sional ranks and he chalked up a phe- nomenal record. Woodward partici- pated in 30 games and twirled in 15 victories against 12 defeats for per- eentage of .556. This was far above the wining percentage of the New Ha- ven club which never had a. look-in for the penant after the season had been we'll under way Woodward, in addition to being a clever pitcher, is an efficient batsman and capital out fielder

WALTER CAMP IS. OUT WITH PRAISE
 FOR COACH JONES

Walter Camp writes of the work of Tad Jones at Yale in the "Ya1e News"
 The work Tad Jones has accom- plished in bringing back Yale foot ball from it's slough of despond, and the technical side of that work, will bear final analysis, for it shows how thoroughly the job was performed. First, had there been any loose ends in his work, the loss of Smith on the eve Of the two major games would have resulted in the complete down. fall of plans. But there was another quarter ready and competent in La Roche. Had there not been plenty of linemen equipped to replace, through the season, the incapacitated first-string men the team would have been unable to continue to carry through the plans. Had there not been complete system for practice against the two different kinds of at- tack Yale was to meet in her two im- portant contests there would have been disaster. Now as to details: A good guard must cover his section and not be drawn; his charge must be hard. but not kniflng through A good center must be able, both when in the line and also at times as a rover behind that line. A good tackle must force and yet be ready to aid his end. A good end must be always on his feet and never circ1ed.
 The answer to all this was given by Jones at the Palmer Stadium and the

JOE YELLING AND
 BLOOM TO CLASH

New Haven, Dec. 7-Joe Yelling, who meets Phil Bloom, tomorrow evening at the Marlin A. C., had a thorough workout Monday last in Kenosha, Wis, where he stopped the rugged Frankie Whitney in five rounds; something Charlie White, Joe Mandot, Ad Wolgast and Freddie Welsh have failed to do. Tn fact. Whitney has a string ot victories that any lightweight could be proud of and this was the first time in his long ca reer as a boxer, that he has had ref cree count ten over him.
 Yelling is without doubt the best lightweight the public has seen in years. He is clever, and has a punch ;is boxing progressively at all times and at any minute liable to end the fight with a crushing right hand. Ed Smith, the Chicago authority on boxing, predicts that should Freddie Welsh consent to a match with the Chicago lightweight, Yelling will win the title via the knockout route.
 Wiling has met and defeated such men as Jack Britton, Johnny Grif- fiths, Ad Wolgast, Johnny Dundee, Milburn Saylor, Battling Kopin. Harry Pierce, Ever Hammer and hosts of others. and each and everyone with the exception of Britton, he has had on the floor for the count.

ANNIVERSARIES
 OF RING BATTLES

John l.. Sullivan pulled & big sur prise party on the sporting world 28 years ago to-day by calling at a New York newspaper office and depositing $5,000 as financial backing for his challenge to Jake Kilrain. John l. had long refused to fight Jake, all though Kilrain had issued repeated challenges, and the impression had gone abroad that the Bostonian was afraid of his rival. The previous year Kilrain's admirers had presented him with a belt said to be emblem atic of the worlds heavyweight cham pionship. Jem Smith, the English champ, then challenged Jake, and they fought 106 rounds in France, Kilrain having the best of it, although 1t was called a draw. Even after John l.. had put up the money many sports thought he was bluff1ng, but early the following January meeting was held in Toronto and the arrangements for the great battle were completed. They met in July. 'S9. at Richburg, Miss. and Sullivan won after 75 rounds .of terrific bare knuckle fighting.

RATNER WANTS BOUT
 WITH HUGH ROSS HERE

Jimmy Johnston, who has a stable of boxers in New York, has been aroused by the recent victory of Hugh Ross over Jimmy O'Hagan. He sends this note:
 1T see where the papers of Connecti- cut are claiming Hugh Ross as an- other Stanley Ketchel.' I wish to state that I have the only reproduc- tion of the famous Stanley Ketchel,' in Augie Rather, the sensational New York middleweight. Rather has met and defeated since becoming a pro- fessional, which was only a short time ago, Tex Kelly, Tommy Robson. Pat Bradley, the Australian middleweight, Albert Badoud, the French champion, the famous Silent Martin and Marty Cross I will match Rather against Hugh Ross or any 15S pound man in the country"

GATES CHOSEN
 AS CAPTAIN OF
 YALE 1917 TEAM

New Haven, Dec. 7-Yale's foot mus Lamb Gates. His selection was made last night at the annual banquet rendered to the eleven at the Hotel Taft by the football association. The 16 players who figured in either the games against Harvard and Princeton were entitled to vote and the choice was announced as unanimous, in ac- cordance with Yale custom. Reports were current, however, on the cam pus that George Clark Moseley of Highland Park, Ill.,, end rush for two seasons, had received some of the ballots
 Before the meeting Clinton Ruth erford Black, captain the past sea- son, stated that he desired not to be considered a candidate because of uncertainty regarding his plans for season. He and Moseley are members of the senior class of Sheffield Scien- tif1c School and are contemplating ex- tending the three-year course into the four-year course of that department and returning to the eleven next fall Gates election has been ex- pected for several days. He played end rush last year and started the season which has just closed in the same position, but was moved to tackle in -mid-season because of the lack of the strong material for the place.
 He had played tackle on the Yale freshman eleven two years ago and on the eleven of the Hotchkiss School Lakeville, Conn.,, where he prepared for Yale. Gates brilliant taclSling and following the ball was a. feature of both the Yale games against Princeton and Harvard the past fall.
 His recovery of the ball fumbled by Harry LeGore of Yale gave his teammates the oval only 12 yards from the Harvard goal and paved the path for the Yale touchdown which followed directly. winning the game for the Ellis. He is 20 years old, weighs 18O pounds, and is 6 feet tall. His home is in Clinton, Iowa. He is, a member of the junior class of the academic department.

 BE TALKED ABOUT

Chicago, Dec. "A plan to form the International League and the /: theI international League and the American Association may be taken up at the annual meeting of, the club owners of the latter organization in Indianapolis, tomorrow, according to The Herald today.
 The plan advanced recently to President B. B. Johnson, of the American League, was to combine Baltimore, Newark, Buffalo and To- ronto, of the International, and To- ledo, Milwaukee, Indianapolis and Louisville of the American Ossocia- tion. It was later suggested to sub stitute Columbus for Milwaukee in order to make the new circuit more compact.
 President Johnson said that if it can be arranged to combine the cities mentioned it would make strong circuit and do much to revive inter- est in the game in certain of these cities.

DARCY MAY BE
 CHOSEN TO BOX CARPENTER HERE

New York, Dec. 7-The local situa- tion in regard to the ten-round bout between Jess Willard, worlds heavy weight champion boxer, and Georges Carpenter, champion of Europe, re- mained unchanged yesterday. Tex Ricard. the western promoter, who is the prime figure in the negotiations for the contest, reiterated his state ment of the previous day, that he had the consent of both boxers to the match.
 "I have the verbal agreement of Willard to box the French champion, and my representatives in Paris in- form me that Carpentier has also ex- pressed willingness to go through with the match" said the promoter yesterday. There has been no agree ment in writing signed by any of us as yet, but I expect to adjust that matter in the course of a few days. I have been expecting a cablegram from my representatives in Paris with further information, but as yet it has not arrived.
 Rickard assured his listeners that he had the consent of Willard to the match with confidence in his tone that was convincing. This assurance came from him when he was told of the conflicting reports circulated as re- gards the champions stand in the matter. The Western promoter. how ever, added that in case he was un- able to secure Willard's services, he would immediately sign Les Darcy, the Australian, for the match.
 Jimmie Johnston yesterday sent out a notice to the effect that the services of Tom Cowler, the English heavy weight, for a bout with Georges Car pentier, provided that Jess Willard turned down the offer of the promot- CTS. could be obtainable, if the sum of s2O,000 was guaranteed for the Englishman's services. This amount, Johnston said, would be contributed to the British War Relief Fund.

PEPPER MARTIN SEEKS
 BOUT WITH M'AULIFFE

Johnny Attell manager Of Pep per Martin, sends in the following about the Brooklyn boxer:
 Just a word in behalf Of Pep per" Martin, the former Brooklyn bantamweight, now making his home in Bridgeport.
 Martin has been fighting for two years, in which time he has taken part in 5S contests, meeting such boys as K. O. Eggers, Dutch Brandt, Wal ter Nelson, Kid Henry, Kid Sullivan. and a host of others. -.
 I would like nothing better than, a. shot at Young McAuliffe, whom un- derstand, is Bridgeport's best feather weight, but I realize the fact that Bridgeport must be shown first, so therefore, I will not hesitate meeting anyone they can secure for us.

COACH BANKART
 OF COLGATE MAY
 { JOIN DARTMOUTH

Baltimore, Md, Dec. 7-Colgate may lose Larry Bankart, the coach who has brought her football team from comparative obscurity to near the centre of the spotlight: <Bankart is a Dartmouth alumnus and his alma mater is said to be considering calling him to the colors.
 The fact that there is serious op- position to the continuance of Frank Cavanaugh as head coach of the big green eleven has been carefully guard ed, but it was declared in Baltimore this evening by a man close to ath- ietic affairs at Dartmouth that Ban kart could have Cavanaugh's job If he wanted it..

CHANCE DOES NOT DENY CUBS
 ARE AFTER HIM

| Chicago, Dec 7.-The following statement regarding his prospects of managing the Chicago Cubs next sea- son was written by Frank Chance and given out by him in Los Angeles yes terday:
 Il want to say for the benefit of my Los Angeles friends that negotiations have been opened between the Chi cago club and myself regarding my taking the management of the Chi cago Cubs for the next two years.
 T can truthfully say that wires have been exchanged between Presi- dent Weeghman of the Cubs and my self and the whole matter is now in his hands.
 Whether I go to manage the Chi cago club or not matters little to me. If they want me I will go providing my terms are met If they do not want me in the east then I will be satisfied to remain in California.
 Tn the newspaper despatches MT. Weeghman is quoted as being wholly in favor of giving Joe Tinker another chance at the head of the club. Joe Tinker is a grand fellow and one of the best friends I ever had in baseball. If the club directors have definitely decided that they don't want Tinker then I will consider the management of the club, but I never want 1t said that I did anything in the world to take the job from Joe Tinker. \
 "If do not sign with Chicago I may or may not manage the local club. Tn fact, if the Chicago proposition falls through it is just 50-5O on the local situation for next year.
 'It has been reported that I am in poor health and that I was in poor health last season, but this Is not true. I weigh 195 pounds and am in as per- feet health as I ever was during my baseball career.''
