PITTSBURG COACH ASSERTS FORWARD
 PASS TO RISKY

New York, Nov. 3-Notwithstand- has been used in a most successful manner this season, Glenn s. Warner, the veteran coach, the man who built up the wonderful Carlisle team and who is now turning a similar trick at Pittsburg, does not fully be- Heye in the innovation that has turn ed the old gridiron game into a cross between basketball and lacrosse. Like any other good coach, Warner has very strong opinions regarding the sport. Recently he had this to say regarding the much discussed play
 Should the forward pass be de- pended upon as a ground gaining play or be used only as means or compelling the opponents to play their secondary defense we'll back Of the line of scrimmage? Is the for ward pass worth while, or is 1t pos sible to substitute something better?
 These are auctions upon which there is great difference of opinion among football experts. The for ward pass is not what could be called a reliable or conservative play. for the reason that there is so much dan- ger of it's being incompleted by fum- bling, grounding or being batted down by an opponent and the greater danger of it's being intercepted by an opponent.
 ''On the other hand. it is play that nets considerable ground when ! it is successful, and when incom- pleted there is no loss of ground, but only the loss of a down. As there are four downs in which to gain ten yards and retain possession of the, ball, and as one successful forward pass is us-. ually good for gain of at least ten yards, 1t would seem that it would be comparatively easy to make one suc- cessful pass. for a gain of ten or more yards in four trials and thus march down the field without expending much physical effort.
 "This might be true if it were not for the danger of the pass being in-, tercepted, which consider the main reason why the forward pass should only be used as an emergency play or as a threat to the secondary defense to the effect that if you come up too close to the sorimmage line to help stop our running plays. it will be easy for us to throw successful forward. pass over your heads"

CLEVELAND PROMOTER
 MAY STAGE KILBANE
 AND WELSH ENCOUNTER

New York, Nov. 3-It begins to look as if there is chance of Freddy Welsh, our lightweight champion, and Johnny Kilbane, the only feather weight champion alive, getting to- gether within the four ropes.
 The latest development popped up yesterday when Harry Pollok receiv- ed a wire from Matt Hinkel, the Cleveland promoter. asking about the match Hinkels wire stated that he was prepared to make an offer and wanted to learn the amount desired by Welsh, and how many rounds, etc.
 Pollok immediately wired back that Welsh was agreeable to meeting with Kitbane any time and place, ac- cording to financial inducements. Make me an offer" added Pollok; and there the matter rests.

Anderson of moving picture fame was one of his associates in the purchase of the club. Still, from another source of information it was learned that Anderson was the money man" and that he furnished most of the capital to buy the club. Lawrence Weber, who financed the Willard Johnson fight with MT. Frazee, is another man said to be in on the deal.
 According to F'razee, the Red Sox, including the franchise, the players, the stands and the grounds, are now the property of Messrs. Frazee and Ward. He also said the purchase price of the club is far more than the re- ported $750,000. He declined, how ever, to give the price he paid for the world's champions. Frazee will give his entire attention to his new ad- venture.

Lewiston, Me, Nov. 3-"Bill" Car rigan. last years Red Sox captain, de- clared yesterday that he will not yield. to the appeal of the Boston American League clubs new owners-Harry Frazee and Hugh Ward-to manage the team next season.
 I'm through with baseball for ever," he said yesterday. I announce ed before the close of the American League season that I would retire after the worlds series, and what I said goes. am satisfied down here in the Pine Tree States, where I have many things to look out for. If I was again in charge of the Red Sox these important matters would be ne- glected, so I prefer to stay right where I am at present.

After much dickering Mike Gibbons, the middleweight boxer, has been matched to fight" ten rounds with Jack Dillon. the giant skiller, in St. Paul, on Nov. "A. There will be no decision, and the weight conditions call for 163 pounds at o'clock. Dil- lon will receive flat guarantee of $7,500, and Gibbons will take per- centage of what is left.
 Gibbons at first held out for 161 k pounds, but as Dillon insisted on 165 the weight question was compromised. 1t is believed that Dillon, a light heavyweight, will be at a disadvantage after he leaves the scales. It will be necessary to weaken himself in order to make 163 at the appointed time, although he will have about six hours to recuperate before entering the ring.
 Dillon should weigh at least 167

the formation of two leagues. Club owners on all sides have come to the realization that a league such as that which operated last year will never prove a financial success. This action was regarded as only salvation for those club owners who lost heavily last season.
 It has been practically decided upon, 1t is understood, to shift the Portland franchise to Fitchburg. Final papers in the transfer are expected to be passed before Mondays meeting.
 Should the merger league undergo a split, and every indication points that way, it will mean a great victory for James H. O'Rourke. ORourke pre- dicted the failure of the league, claim ing that the club owners could not break even with the cities so far apart.

Connie Mack, the lanky leader of the Athletics, says the reduction of world s series tickets would not mean less trouble in satisfying the fans who want tickets. He thinks 1t would re- suit in even more confusion because more people would want tickets. The New York Herald says it is a triffe too early to describe Eddie Ca sey of Harvard as battering ram, a cyclone and a second Mahan. "It will be time enough to describe him as a second Mahan," says the Herald, | when he has been in the game as
 long and proved his quality as did Mahan."

It has been planned to have 1,2So more seats for the Yale-Harvard game this year than in 1914, bringing the total seating capacity up to 69,OO0. In spite of this the demand for seats for this classic has been so great that official fear there won't be enough tickets to supply those who have legitimate claim. The original ca pacity of the Bowl was 60,117, but In 1914 7,520 more seats were provided around the top of the structure. This wear the extra seats will number $500.

FOOTBALL TOMORROW


 There won't be so many fancy dishes on the football menu tomorrow. The Yale-Colgate and the Army-Notre Dame matches are about the best on the card, although many think the acuse-Dartmouth battle in Spring field will be @ hummer. Yale is anx- ious to get revenge on Colgate for last years defeat and word canes from the Colgate camp that several of the best linemen re injured and may not be able to play. This game starts at 2:30.
 Harvard should have an easy time with Virginia, although the Southern CTS have been strengthened since they lost to Yale by such a topsided score. Princeton looks for a quiet afternoon with Bucknell and Cornell plays Car negie Teck. Pennsylvania meets La fayette, which isn't very strong this year. E

War department officials are gratified
at reports of crowded recruiting stations
in several states. They also are pleased
that the governors of virtually all states
having important National Guard units
which were not summoned have sought
permission to forward their entire con
tingent.
No increase in the allotments made are
now contemplated. In this connection it
was learned that the selections made
were designed to furnish the elements OF
several provisional brigades, and that,
taken as q whole, the regulars and
guardsmen represent the units of several
field armies, into which they might be
quickly assembled in the event Of war
with Mexico.
