0'NElL9 WILL LEAD EASTERN LEAGUE
 OF EIGHT CLUBS

Worcester, Mass, Oct. 17-That easy money which T. H. Murnane of Boston, picked up last season for act ing as president of the Eastern league was taken away from him yesterday at a meeting of the league directors held here. Dan O'Neil was named president and secretary and Tom O'Brien of the Hartford Courant was chosen treasurer.
 The directors elected were: James H. Clarkin. Hartford; Edward F. Smith, Worcester; William E. Carey. Springfield; H. Eugene McCann, New London. and Eugene B. Fraser, Lynn.
 The ten club circuit is evidently a thing of the past for all present came out in favor of an eight club league. Last season opened with ten clubs but two teams dropped out be- fore the schedule was finished. A committee was appointed to devise ways and means of making the smaller circuit effective. This com mittee will report at a meeting of the league to be held in Springfield within the next three weeks.
 Hugh Duffy, owner of the Portland. Maine, club, announced before the meeting that his franchise was for sale. A salary claim of s200 against the Lawrence club, held by Jesse Bur- kett, former manager. was paid by tho 1aaanA

WEIGHT QUESTION ; MAY STOP DILLON,
 AND GIBBONS BOUT

New York, Oct. 17.-Jack Dillon and Mike Gibbons may box ten rounds in St. Paul next month, and then again they may not. There seems to beI a little difference of weight between the boys-that is, difference as to what the ringside weight should be.
 Mike wants Dillon to tip the beam at 161 and Jack vows that 165 would be much more in keeping with his present heft. When 161 was announced as the weight to be, every one was amazed, because Jack was known to be a pretty healthy child. It didn't seem possible that he could whack off all the extra poundage he had lurking about his being the night he met Frank Moran at Washington Park. This present wrangle over the weight was expected: Dillon can't make that and be strong, and\he admits it. Mys- ter1ous Mike has set 161 as the mark for Dillon to shoot at and if he will not consent to make it he will not play in Jacks yard. The fact that Mike has' placed the weight at a pro- hibitive notch makes it quite certain that he has great deal of respect for the killer. It's to be hoped Mike re- considers and allows Jack to trot in at 165. Otherwise there will be no fstic festival between the pair.

YOUNG RECTOR MORE THAN ANXIOUS TO GET
 MAULIFFE INTO RING

Young Rector, the New, York boxer, is anxious to take another crack at Young McAuliffe, if one is to believe the following letter sent out by Man ager Fred DeLorme:
 Just a few lines to tell you that I am using every effort to try to get Young McAuliffe into the same ring again with the boy who outpointed him, and whom he desired to get a re- turn match with. The boy in question is Young Rector of Jersey City who gave Mac a licking last April, and who has been going right along on a I merry winning streak in both Phila- delphia a1d New York defeating all those he has met, but who seems bent upon taking that title away from the present holder. Anyone who witnessed the last McAuliffe-Rector match knows that if there had been a referees de- cis1on In their last fight, that Rector would now hold the crown.
 'It seems that McAu1iffe is making all sorts of demands to be coaxed into the ring with the Jerseyite, and ex- poets Rector to meet him for less than he received before, whereas he ought to receive more.
 Here's McAuliffe's chance to make good, and not be holding out for some
 Soft One to be picked for him, and the fans know am right These boys should draw great house if they ever meet again, and Mae can be sure of receiving some balm for his efforts, if he should get defeated once more. Let Mac get down to business with the
 East End club, and help make this match a reality, and not be making | the crazy demands he is doing at the present tilnA"

ANNIVERSARIES
 OF RING BATTLES

1900-Jack Root knocked out Dick O'Brien in third round at Chicago. Root, a Bohemian, was top-notcher amof}g the middleweights in those days, land afterwards fought Marvin Hart for the heavyweight title. O'Brien. who lived in Lewiston, Me-. was also a mighty good man, and might have reached championship cal- ibre if he had trained properly. Dick entered the ring that night with a bay window, as usual, while Root was fit and fine. Jacks superior condi- tfon enabled him to take the lead from the start, but the fight had not progressed far when he grew over confident. The Maine lad awaited his chance, and when it came he shot over a right that sen the former subject of Francis Joseph down in a heap. fHe struggled gamely to get up, but it seemed hopeless. Finally he succeeded, with only a fraction of a second to spare. O'Brien, known as the Butcher Boy" went in to finish Jack, but the latter was willy and managed in spite of his groggy con- dition to get through the round. In the next chapter Root was fully re- covered and out for revenge, and he put over a punch that sent O'Brien down so hard that he didn't even try to get up.

FAVOR M'AuLIFFE
 TO DEFEAT SHEA
 IN ELM CITY BOUT

New Haven, Oct. 17-Three bouts which appear like corking good at fractions will be staged by the Quin- nipac A. C., at the Arena on Thurs day night and surely the card appears to be one of real action and with plenty of thrills. The main number on the bill of fare, a 12-round clash at 126 pounds, between Tommy Shea of New Haven and Young McAuliffe of Bridgeport. for the featherweight title of the state, is about as classy a. fstic event as could be arranged at this writing.
 Shea and McAuliffe are, with out doubt, the two best boxers at their weight in the state and since the elim- ination of Sammy Waltz of Hartford by both Shea and McAuliffe, there appears Ito be no question but what New Haven and Bridgeport have the legitimate right to battle for the state championship and the winner will be the undisputed featherweight championship of Connecticut
 McAuliffe will have several pounds on Shea when they enter the ring and this will probably make the Bridgeport boy the betting favorite to win. But Shed is fast and clever, and his admirers look to him to out point McAuliffe and win the decis- ion.

ABANDON USE
 OF YALE FIELD FOR FOOTBALL

New Haven, Oct. 1.-The old Yale field has seen it's last game of varsity football. After the trouble experienced last Saturday, when the great crowd which sought admission to the Lehigh game threatened to break the outside fence down in the hurry to get in, the Yale management took the matter up, with the result that it was announced last night that the old stands will never be used for a football game again. From now on the games will all be played in the Bowl and the old field will be used only for the practice of the teams and possibly to stage freshman contests.
 This is also due to the fact that the stands which are left standing were utterly insufficient to take care of the crowds which did get into the last game, and many had to stand throughout the game. .,.--f
 The great use that has been made of tn own during the past week by the pageant program has made it nec- essary to mark out the gridiron afresh, and new goal posts will have to be placed in position and taken down again immediately after the close of the game! y

FOOTBALL CRITICS PUZZLED.

The football situation has the ex- perts guessing just at present. Before the players engaged in actual combat it was thought that Princeton was due for place in the sun after taking de- feats for so many years. After the poor showing last Saturday against Tufts the Tiger supporters are not so hopeful. The old tendency of the backs to tumble and the inability to supply the punch for a touchdown seem to be present as in former years. It was the heart-breaking fumbling at critical moments that robbed Princeton of a chance to beat Yale last year.
 Harvard was thrown out of consid- eration after losing to Tufts but the Crimson did well against North Caro- lima last week, in, spite of the fact that Harvard's team, consisted prlncl- pally of substitutes. With Houghton again in active charge the critics are conceding Harvard a chance to down Yale and Princeton.
 Yale's big scores against Carnegie and Virginia caused the fans to think the Blue team was wonderful ag- gregation but the Lehigh contest Kaye them food for sober thought. It is admitted that Tad Jones has deA veloped te 'm that gives evidence of having great ~nwer. Conditions have not yet reached a point, however, when the, folks on the sidelines are certain Yale will vanquish her old rivals. Just now it looks as if any one of the trio has a look in for the championship of the Big Three. [

CLUB
 REFUSES COIN
 FOR 3RD GAME

New York, Oct. 17-Nearly $30,0o0 in cash and checks were returned yes- terday by the Brooklyn baseball club to holders of tickets for thes third
 game of the Worlds Series at Ebbets
 Field, which failed to materialize be-
 cause the Robins were able to win
 only single game from Bill Carri- gan's Red Sox.
 This is more than half the amount of money that will be refunded and President Ebbets stated yesterday that the club expected to have all the tickets back within a day or two.
 As early as g o'clock a small army of ticket holders, made their appear ance in front of the rotunda of the ball grounds. By 10, the original time set for the gates to open, the crowd had increased by several hun Cred more fans who were anxious to have their money refunded and to waste as little time as possible. But they had long and unexpected
 wait It was almost Il O'clock when
 the gates were thrown open. While the fans were waiting President Eb- bets came down from his office and in speech to, the crowd explained
 the reason for the dAay. Accord ing to, the owner of the National League champions, report reached
 one of St1ie officials of the club that several hundred fraudulent tickets had
 been presented at the ticket windows
 for redemption.
 Hi Precautionary methods were then , taken by the officials of the club to prevent payment on these tickets and three men from-the Martin B. Brown l, CO, which printed the pasteboards, | were sent for and stationed at each one of the three windows. Signs also were displayed in front of the grounds and on the gates warning persons that a strict watch was being kept on all tickets and those presenting bogus coupons at the windows would be
 placed under arrest~
 A number of ticket spectators from New York worked their way through the crowd before the gates were thrown open, eager to buy the paste ! boards for less>than their face value. Only few fans who could not wait longer. sold their tickets at a loss. There was no time, wasted after i. the gates were open. The fans form cd in line quickly and as. each one ! came up to the box office his ticket
 waA examined by the men from the
 Brown Co. ''No counterfeit tickets were pre-
 scented at the windows" said Presi-
 dent Ebbets last night, land I now
 doubt whether any were printed. . am sorry that fans had to wait this
 morning, but ilt was not the fault
 of the club.
 "The windows will be open again today and thereafter. until all the
 money is refunded. Those who do not live in Brooklyn or New York can
 mail their tickets to the club and the money will be returned, but only at
 their own risky

TWO FIGHTING
 FOR CENTER ON YALE'S ELEVEN

New Haven, Oct. IA majority of the Yale football stars who figured in Saturdays victory over Lehigh were given a rest yesterday by the coaches. Several changes in the lineup were put into effect The two Johns, Vorys and Callahan, who have been out of the game with injuries, reported for the first time in three weeks. Both center star men got into yesterdays scrimmage. The probabilities are that Callahan will start Fridays game at center.
 Charley Taft was switched back to right tackle where he is a valuable reserve player. Wash Bogardus, who was a member of the Yale artillery battalion till it was mustered out three weeks ago, replaced, Daft during the second half, and Larry Fox. who was No. in the Yale crew last June. played brilliant game at tackle on the second team. Fox is one of the most powerful candidates for a tackle position. Although he weighs 215 pounds, he is feet 4fnches tall. and is very fast. He has had little tion was yesterday paid to him by the line COdCIcS, WHO udNo 'U5Ch WOi ried at the lact of substitute tackle material.
 Another change which was made was the trial of Alfred Rosener at right guard. Rosener began the sea, son as first string right end, but was injured the first fortnight of practice and yesterday did his first playing since his injury. He was a fresh man end two seasons ago and play ed remarkable football in that posi- ton last fall as a member of the famous IneligIbles.
 While the brilliant showing of Gates and Comerford has made it hke- ly that they will be the permanent ends this season. 1t was heiseved that Rosener would prove valuable sec ond string candidate for those posi- tions. He is extremely light for guard, weighing less than 1st pounds.

JIM CAFfNEY AND :.
 SINCLAIR MAY GET THE BROOKLYN CLUB

New York; Oct. 17-If President Charles H. Ebbets does not put pro- z hibitive price on his holdings in the lBrooklyn Baseball club he may be able to dispose of his share and carry out his intention to retire from the game sooner than he expected.
 I The possibility of a sale being made has been frightened by the entry of Harry F. Sinclair, the Oklahoma oil man who furnished the sinews of war flor the Federal Leagute during the last year of it's existence. and who has been mentioned recently as being a prospective buyer of the Dodgers along with James E. Gaffney, former owner of the Braves.
 According to some of his former Federal League associates, Sinclair is sincere in his desire to get back into baseball. He fsSlone of the Federal League owners who did not become gun shy of baseball franchise. He enjoyed his venture, though 1t was a costly one, and at that he fared bet settlement
 l But Sinclair and Gaffney, it is said will not consider a purchase unless they can get control. Ebbets is but Ia half owner of the Dodgers, and the fpdto WouAu uepenO OH the MckeeVer Brothers being willing to sell out part tof their shares also. | Sinclair did not want to get out o1 fbaseball at the time the Feds went under. It will De recalled that he Hried to purchase the Giants, but could tnot come to terms with President lHempstead. But just as soon as it fwas known the Brooklyn club was flor sale Gaffney got in touch with Sinclair and Suggested the purchase. ! Gaffney was the man who during the war time days with the Feds, paw led the way for peace. He had been la friend of Sinclair for months before |the peace pact was finally made, and lit was he who brought about the meeting of rival magnates. He and lSinclair have been good friends since then.

PARALYSIS SCARE MAY CAUSE PRINCETON TEAM
 TO TRANSFER CONTEST

Easton, Pa., Oct. 1.-The death of , Princeton student from infantile paralysis will, either cancel or bring to Easton the Princeton-Lafayette football game next Saturday. The Lafayette authorities decided yester- day that they could not under any circumstances permit the football team and a large portion of the stu dent body to go to a district where they might be subjected to the infec- tion. It has therefore been proposed to the Princeton management that the game be played in Easton.
 All the varsity players were sufi- cieptly recovered from the disastrous game with Ursinus to go into scriml mage-with the exception of Weldon and Ellis. .iNsA

LIGHTNING SHOTS AT y SPORTING TARGETS E

Every time you pick up a paper you read about some ball player get ting money. Manager Wilbert Rob- inson of the Brooklyn Dodgers, went around to the club offices last week to pass the time of day and Owner Ebbets handed him a check for $5,- 900. It is said that when Robin son was hired Ebbets tcld him he would get a s5,OOO present if he ever got Brooklyn into worlds series. Bobby got them in there, but what did they do after they arrived? Wait throbbing bean.
 Two members of the big four in the football world are likely to be upset on the same day. On October 2S Dartmouth plays Princeton and Cor nell battles with Harvard. Judging by the performances of Cornell and Dart mouth both are apt to emerge vic- torious.
 That spread play which Colgate worked against Yale with so much success last year, proved a sensation to western rooters when it was tried against Illinois, last Saturday. The Illinois players were unable to solve the formation which spreads com pletely across the field like a kick off. The result was, that Colgate won an easy victory.
 Manager Mike Healy of the Bridge port baseball club was present at tho Eastern league meeting in Worceste1 yesterday. They gave him place on the committee to consider the best eight club circuit for 1917.
 AS was suggested in this column last week a series between the Rem. ington Arms and Chain Co. eleven. may be arranged. The Chain Co. ha. sent g. challenge to the Arms but tn, latter eleven will not take any actio, on the matter until later date.

SAY CARRIGAN IS
 TO BE PRESIDENT
 OF BOSTON CLUB

New York, Oct. 17.lThat Joseph J. Lannin will dispose of the Boston American league club, if Inc has not already done so, is taken for granted in Hub baseball circles. One story has it that Lannin closed deal for the sale of the outfit even before the worlds series was started.
 Bill Carrigan, who at the end of the worlds series announced his retire ment as manager of the Red sox, is named as the next president of the club. It can be said on the best of authority that atrleast two syndicates are willing to back Carrigan in the ac- quisition of the club. One of the sym dicates does not even ask Ca1rigan to invest any money in the proposition. Action in the matter is expected very soon.
