BAN JOHNSON DENIES HE
 CALLED JOHN INGRAM GUTTER
Threatened War Between National and American
 Leagues Likely To Be Settled. l.

American League club owners, while the race was in progress. stated that he would quit the league if his team did not get the pennant. This club owner, J. J. Lannin, of the worlds champion Red Sox. is also credited with saying that several of the Ameri- can League umpires favored the other clubs during the season.
 "I can't understand what MT. Tener means by an interview with me in Milwaukee, said Johnson yesterday. 'I wasn't in Milwaukee on Tuesday. Moreover, I haven't been there for some time. MT. Tener knows exactly what think of the McGraw incident. I gave my views of the matter in the East before the worlds series began, and I added somewhat to my opinion after returning to Chicago. What I said seemed to me to cover the situa- tion thoroughly, but when MT. Tener labels my conversation as buncombe he stops me completely. I have no answer; at least not now"
 Baseball men in the city yesterday were of the opinion that the differ ences between Johnson and Tener will be patched up without any trouble.

ROSS WINS OVER STANDS; K.O. MORAN
 LOSES TO PALITZ

New York. Oct. 2S-Hughey Ross of Bridgeport, who has a victory to his credit over Al Mccoy, middle weight champion, was given the deci- sion over Cowboy Charley Shands of Fl Paso, Texas, in the star bout of 15 rounds staged at the Arena last night under the direction of the National Athletics club, Ross captured hon. ors in practically every round by fore ing the fighting and landing where he pleased. Shands fought, a poor fight, devoting most of his time to clinch- ing and covering up methods.
 In the semi-final round Dave Palitz of New London decisively outpointed K. o. Moran of Bridgeport in a 10 round tilt. Palitz' and Moran fur nished plenty of action in every round. The fight was one of the best seen here this season. Both boys slugged away at one another in most every round, which met with the approval of thee rowd. Moran left the ring badly beaten about the head and body while Palitz showed no eff fects from the battle.
 The bouts failed to draw, there be- ing but $700 in the house.

Jack Coombs Wears
 Harness During Time of Duty on Mound

New York, Oct. 2S-The pitching feats of Jack Coombs during the last year have awawened the admira tion of baseball fans throughout the coun- try. The Colby veteran returned to the pitching box after an illness that would have driven nine men out of ten into retirement. Even now he works under a handicap that would rob almost any other pitcher of his effectiveness. He wears more straps and braces than a football player, yet he works along with an easy swing that is most remarkable.
 Every time Jack gets ready to go out on the field he wears a heavy rubber brace from knee to hip, and supplements this with yards and yards of bandages. Jack adds heavy steel brace to this equipment.
 All his protective devices do not rob him of his speed and agility, for Jack is rated as one of the best field ing pitchers in the major leagues. He is a hitter of ability, too. and there are no pitchers who make a practice of passing the catcher to take hack at Jack.

ANNIVERSARIES
 OF RING BATThES

1899-Bob Fitzsimmons knocked out Jim Thorne in lst round in Chicago. Thorne, who was an Englishman, had boasted that he would lick the freck- led Cornishman, and this boast rAach- ed. Bob's ears and made him mighty peevish. Therefore Fitz decided to waste no time on Thorne, but to put him to sleep at once. As he faced his opponent Bob growled. Young fellow. I'm am going to stand you on your head" Probably Fitz was speaking in metaphor, and didn't real ly intend to make Thorne perform such an acrobatic stunt, but that is exactly what he did. Bob feinted with his right. and followed imme- diately with a powerful left to the jaw which whirled Thorne clear around and sent him toppling. He fell on the top of his head, but his feet were so close to his bean that his body was elevated. By some strange freak he didn't collapse but remained in that strange position un- til he was counted out. He was then dragged from the ring. but for a long time he didn't know what happened to him.

Pittsburg Is Eastern |
 In Football Season;
 j Western in Baseball

New York, Oct. 28-Pittsburg in baseball is a Western city, in football it is of the East. So it is both Beast and West. This is all right, at that, for the time changes there. You can arrive on Eastern time and, depart on Western time, and in the matter of departing there are lots of persons who do that from Pittsburg, although justice to that fair commonwealth de- mands that it be stated that quite a few" persons s-whatever quantity quite a few is-otherwise quite rational, think enough of it to make it their base of supplies and operations and livelihood
 Glen Warner and the University of Pittsburg, Pitt for short, have about doubled the fame of Pittsburg within the last year, and by the pissant might of Pitt on the gridiron.' The burning question ther is. is Pitt East or West in football Since one is ever lastingly reading about the East vs. the West in sport, as if the U.. s. A. were two continents instead of an. in- dissoluble one, the football wise men must decide this grave question, at once, else there will be a frightful in- tersectional tangle.
 In a schedule way Pitt is entirely of the East. Nobody from the wild and woolly finds a place on her schedule. Geographically one is not so sure, and perhaps it would be best to wait until the season is. over If Pitt wins all it's games and proves to be the champions, why then she is on the East indubitably, but if she cracks under the strain and proves to be just ordinary, why then the West will be Pitts proper classification.

YALE CREW ONLY
 FAIR IN MATERIAL SAYS HEAD COACH

New Haven. Oct 2S-"As far as the present squad is concerned it cannot be said that anything remarkable in the way of talent has so far shown itself, says Coach Guy Niokalls of the Yale crews, writing in the current issue of the Alumni weekly. Accord ing to Coach Nickalls there are about enough good second class oars to fill three eights with possibility that a few. of them can develop, into first class material.
 Continuing on the progress or the crews Coach Nickalls says:
 { '"Of last years "Y's' on the squad we have Cord Meyer, the captain; Lawrence and Hartman Of last years second crew we have left Hyatt, the stroke; MacNaughton, No. 7, who Is unable to row until the spring; rux. who Is in the football squad, and Gamble. who is rowing, and Hadley, Munaons and .Gilfillan have all gradu- ated-
 '~ro nn the vacancies on the first and second crews we have on hand all last seasons freshman crew and the pick of last years winning class crews lnG only OdL0 OcuulAc1y lACu Sc far is that for our race against Har- ward at New London on June 22- We are at present in correspondence with Pennsylvania University and hope to arrange our match against them, as in the last two years, for Easter Sat urday, which this year falls ,on April n Cornell and Princeton were ad- vised early last spring that 1t was our turn to entertain them at the annual triangular regatta and that now that we had an admirable two-mile course with every possible convenience for crews and spectators we should ex- pect them to come here this spring
 Invitations have accordingly been sent to both these universities to come and race here on May 5. whidh we trust they will accept as during the last four years we have visited Prince ton twice and Cornell twice and our new course above the dam at Shelton is easily the finest offering in America to date"

BRADEN OF YALE BACKFIELD UNABLE
 10 START TODAY

New Haven. Oct. 2sTWhen the Yale Varsity lines up against Wash ington and Jefferson today the Blue eleven will be without Jim Braden, the big fullback, who was expected to do the bunting and tined rop kicking against the team which has been Yale's jinx for three years, defeating the Ellis twice and tying the team three years ago. In his place Jacques, who has had three days rest. played. Braden has a bad muscle bruise above his hip and could hardly run through the signals yesterday.
 Through the week the work of the Vale varsity for good part of the time has been along the line of break ing up forward passes. Unless this year is different from former ones the forward pass will be Yale's hoodoo. Yale has been unable to use this weapon with any effect since the days when Tad Jones was quarterback and Clarence Alcott, now one of his assist ants. was All-America end.
 If any one could teach the Yale squad to use the forward passes it should be these two. but up to now there have been no signs that Yale is proficient in this department of the game.

New York, Oct. 2s-The war cloud that has been lowering over the Ma tional and American Leagues for the last week or so began to drift in another direction yesterday, and it is now believed that there will be no great eruption or split between the two factions over McGraw quitting the Giants in that memorable game at Ebhets Field.
 Bancroft B. Johnson, Czar of the American League, emphatically de- nied yesterday in Chicago the inter- view credited to him in a Milwaukee newspaper a day OF two ago. In the statement Bancroft B. was quoted as saying that McGraw acted cowardly, quit in the face of his duty and should be severely punished by the National League for his action.
 Upon reading "Johnson's statement" John K. Tener, president of the Ma tiona1 League, wrote a few harsh words about the affairs in the Ameri- can League.
 Tener declared that if Johnson was looking for trouble he could easily find it in his own league, as one of the

ANNEX TO MEET
 CHAIN TOMORROW

A big delegation of New Haven roOters will be on hand tomorrow at Newfield park when the American Chain Co. eleven will play the Annex team of New H4Fen. The Annex team is remembered here for, the me- morable tie game with the Remington Arms eleven last season. The Annex boys have been playing together for years and exhibit many good forma- tions.
 Manager Healy has made arrange ments for additional seats so there will be ample accommodations for the crowd. Nagle, the end who was re- gently injured, will be on the job again and Baker, who did so well at quarterback last Sunday. will be in that, position again. The contest will start at 8, p. m.

been sent to Pittsburgh instead of St. Louis.
 "Dreyfus had a perfectly legal claim to Sisler,' said Heydler, but there were so many other things bothering the National Commission at the time it was imossible to delve deeply into the matter.
 TT am convinced that baseball would be helpless without the National Com mission" continued Heydler. Tt is the ruling tribunal and without it there would be no recourse excepting the state and federal courts, and there is not baseball man who wants to get into the federal courts.
 Possibly the present National Com mission will be abandoned in favor of one composed of three men not finan- cially interested in baseball. That would be a good thing for baseball Il, but there is not a remote chance of the ruling tribunal being abolished or fracture of the National Commis- sion."

BIG AUTO EVENT FOR, $IO,ooO PRIZE
 ATTRACTS CROWD

New York Oct, 2sZAt o'clock this afternoon 27 of the leading auto mobile race drivers started on 100- mile dash at the Sheepshead Bay Speedway for the Hardness Gold trophy and a cash purse of $1O,000. of which $3,000 will be divided among the lap leaders from the tenth to the ninotieth mile.
 Following this event there will be a 50-mile special race for non-place winner in the main event, with a $2,500 purse, a sort of consolation prize for the second-string drivers and the stars who fall by thesway in the Hardness race.
 With favorable weather conditions the Hardness trophy race should re- suit in new worlds records for all dis tances up to the century mark.

New York, Oct. 2s-The contro- versy betweenj Tener and Johnson failed to excite John Heydler secre- tary of the National League. Heydler, between determining the batting and fielding averages of the layers, dis cussed the question of moment. He said that it was his opinion that be- cause, of the two big years of Federal League fight baseball conditions now are in a rough state. Many misun- derstandings,i which were 'glossed over during the invasion of the Federals. are fought to the finish now. says Heydler. T
 Heydler opines that until matters adjust themselves there will be con- tinual pickering between the leaders. However, lie does not think it will take long for the ones spending money to be convinced that the fans do not care about that sort of thing, Had not the Sisler case, come up during the war of the Federais Heydler is certain that the St Louis star would have

Philadelphia.-Alth the big
 gridiron battles of the 1916 season have not been played as yet the foot
 ball enthusiasts have had ample op-
 portunity to size up the players who are likely to star in the contests that will decide which eleven is the strong est of the season. Among those who have shone brilliantly in the early games and whose playing has been in- strumentaI in winning several early battles are Maulbetsch. halfback and captain of the Michigan eleven; Oli- phant, fullback of the West Point elev ven and Howard Berry, fullback of the Pennsylvania eleven. Maulbetsch is called the human ibattering ram." Two years ago he was the real star of the Harvard-Michigan battle played at the stadium in Cambridge. His playing in that game was as brilliant l

as any ever seen there. Last season he seemed to be off form, but many ex-
 perts say this was due to the weakness
 of the Wolverine team. This year
 he is just as brilliant as he was two
 years ago, and there is little doubt but
 what he will be awarded a place on
 the mythical AIl-American team se- lected by the experts. Oliphant is considered one of the greatest. full backs ever developed. Last year he was c1assed as a real star; but, judg- ing by his performances in the Ar my's early games, he iS greater than ever. Howard Berry, the. great all around college athlete, is the real shin ing light of the Pennsylvania eleven. His playing in several of Penn's games has been nothing short of wonderful. These three men will surely occupy a place Tn 1916 football his
