NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Deads All.

New York, Nov. 9.-While it would
be futile to attempt to enumerate
itemize what has been done in the
way of war relief work on the part Of
the golfers at home, each succeeding
week furnishes additional news Of the
good efforts. There have been Red
Cross and Tobacco Fund matches and
tournaments galore, but the latest
authentic word of a material increase
to the grand total comes from United
States Golf Association headquarters
ament held on July 4, in which a total
of $72,375.78 was raised.
It's long time since Independence
Day, but just the same Howard F.
Whitney, secretary, and Frederick S.
Wheeler, treasurer, had been unable
to garner the returns from hither and.
yon any sooner. No less than 4S5
clubs through the land participated
on July 4. They represented every
State in the Union excepting Idaho,
Nevada, New Mexico and Oregon.
Prior to the tournament Whitney
communicated with 1.497 clubs.
The honor Of raising the most mon
ey went to the Allegheny Country
Club near Pittsburgh, it's total being
$4,269~ From that the amounts ranged
down to the modest sum Of So, sent in
by a small club in the Northwest,
but, like the widows mine, 1t was
none the less welcome to the associa-'
ton.
In looking over the list It is noticed
that there Is a big gap between AL
legheny and the next contributor the
Columbia Country Club near WASH
ington, with $2,O89.S8. After that
both the Apawamis Club, at Rye, N.
Y, and the Country Club Of Detroit
had totals of $1,000 The Nassau
Country Club at Glen Cove followed
with $500 and the Oakmont Coun-
try club was next with $1,4S4.
A total of 1880 was returned by
the Bloomfield Hills Club of Detroit,
while $1,3O6.26 was the offering Of the
Oaks Park Country Club at Roches-
ter. The Tedesco Country Club In
Massa chusetts furnished $1,31S.80.
According to Whitney there are a
number Of clubs still to be heard from
which, it is believed, will bring the to-
tai up to $4,000.

GILR0Y INJURED
Bernie Wefers, the Fordham Trainer,
Says Johnny Played in Election Day
Game With Broken Shoulder.

New York, Nov. 9.-There is an
other chapter to be written about the
Fordham-Georgetown game on Elec-
ton Day, and it centers about Johnny
Gilroy, of Georgetown. Johnny was
the leading point scorer in the East
last season, and he was ranked by
all critics as one of the really great
backs Of the year.
But last Tuesday the Georgetown
star did not play up to his usual form.
His dashes lacked the drive of yore
and his tackling was one-sided. Every
one decided Gilroy had gone back
Yesterday, however, Bernie Wefers,
the Fordham trainer, explained Gill
roy's form by stating that the gritty
Johnny had played through the whole
game against Fordham with q broken
shoulder. A heavy harness afforded
fair protection, but it also greatly in
capacitated the Haverhill star. John
ny, like the war" elevens, is the bet
ter player for the poorer game he
played.

Two Games Tomorrow Stand Out
As Features Of Gridiron Clashes

New York. Nov. 1.-TWO games
stand out on the Eastern football
.schedule of the morrow as giving
promise of being close, hard fought
contests. These are the meeting or
PENNSYLVANIA and Dartmouth at Bos-
ton and the Pittsburgh-W washington
and jefferson struggle at Pittsburgh.
In other respects the Saturday list
of gridiron combats is not likely TO
be productive Of either form or score
upsets.
Judged upon their season records
Dartmouth and Pennsylvania appear
to be reasonably evenly matched and
the quito ONE is likely to be a small
margin victory for the eleven which
is the more alert and quicker to take
advantage Of the breaks in the play.
Last season the teams OF these two
colleges played I to tie but this
fact has little bearing upon the re-
suit of tomorrow's contests as very
few OF the men who participated IN
that struggle are now wearing mole
skins The Quakers have played sew
en- games to date winning Ave and
being defeated by Pittsburgh and
Georgia Tech. Dartmouth has won
all six games scheduled thus far this
season, the defeats Of West Virginia
and Penn. State being the outstand-
ing features.
The record Of the University of
Pittsburgh eleven Is more impressive
than that of Washington and Jeffer-
son but the latter combination is one
of great strength and has been es-
pecially pointed for this struggle. 1t
Is certain that the smaller college
est kind Of gridiron battle before
they will admit defeat. In their
game Of a wear ago Pittsburgh won
from Washington and Jefferson by g
score Of 81 to but it Is doubtful II
the present team will duplicate these
figures.
= In the other games Of the day il
which the more prominent elevens o.
the section are scheduled to particl
pate the outcome appears to be mor'
a. question of scores than victory O.
defeat Both the Army and Nav,
teams should win from their respec
tive opponents, Carlisle Indians ant
Georgetown. Rutgers appears t.
have the edge on the Springfield Y. M
&C. A. Training school eleven although
the latter combination is exceedingly
proficient in the use Of the forwar'
pass In all its variations. Colgat
should win from st. Bonaventure bu
both Syracuse and Swarthmore vii
And Bucknell and Lafayette, respec
lively, more difficult to subdue.
The principal games OF the day, to
gether with the scores where the sam
institutions met year ago, are as fol
lows:
Worcester Mass-Boston Col. v!
Holy Cross II to IA
Hamilton. n. Y.-Colgate vs.. S

NEW YORK, Dec. 1S.-PresIdent
John K Tener Of the National League

effect that he intends to resign the
office to which he was recently re-
elected He said that his position
regarding the league has not changed,
and that he will devote as much time
as possible 70 its AFFAIRS.
The prediction that President Tener
stands prepared to resign before the
scheduled meeting OF the league in
February, credited to August Her

ball men here. 1t Is the belief. how
ever. that should the club owners
agree On some candidate who can de-
vote his whole time to the duties Of

gladly step out
He was said to have made this
plain to the league at the time Of his

nation Of the fact was made at the

LOCAL DOYITISIS
BALT|MORE'S BANE.
IN BOXING SHOWS

Baltimore is today suffering from
local-boyitis. As a result Of the de-
cis;on made by Buck Alexander, who
decided the Johnny Ertle-Kid Will
Jams but q draw, it is unlikely that
the Monumental City will get any
more prominent boxers and the
ring season which was just opening
with so much promise is destined to
be a failure.
Johnny Ertle clearly defeated
Williams, though unable to stop the
rugged little Dane inside of twelve
rounds. All he received was a draw,
and today his manager, the veteran
Tom Andrews, is willing to spread
the evi ltidings all over the country.
In the second round Ertle had VIII
liams out At the count OF nine the
bell sounded, saving the Baltimore
boy from being declared out officially
by the sympathetic Alexander. ErtLe
finished the stronger, but his showing
svailed him nothing.
Land wIIIIams' Pluck.
The big crowd lauded Williams
gameness. No one has ever accused
him Of lacking courage, and he show
ed that last night, for he was up
against it from the start. After
round of maneuvering, Ertle tore into
his man in the second.
Doing all the forcing, Ertle was
beating Williams before tie second
session was half over. Suddenly Ertle
shot over a right to the jaw, sending
williams to the canvas. He was weak
and dazed when he scrambled to his
feet at the count OF nine. Ertle jump
ed in and delivered a short right up
percut that sent the former champion
sprawling again
Gets Up Too soon.
williams was practically helpless,
but his courage made him rise at the
count OF four. He was q mark for
his opponent, who promptly hammered
him again on the Jaw. This time VIII
lisms was dead to the world, lying on
his back near the ropes. Just as the
count of nine was heard the bell rang
and Williams was saved.
From then on to the seventh VII
liams used all his ring generalship,
boxing cleverly and cautiously, al
ways protecting his jaw and using 4
pretty lab. By the time the sixth
came Williams was strong once mora

eye.
in the eighth williams took the
lead, opening up a terrific battering
of the ST. Paul boys body. One wal
lop to the jaw staggered Ertle, and
Il was Williams round.
Continued In Ninth.
williams continued his aggressive
tactics in the ninth, but in the tenth
his opponent evened IL up with pow
erful lefts to the face.
The only hard blows in the
eleventh were delivered by Ertle, and
the Westerner continued his slight
advantage to the close OF the battle.
The big crowd was surprised when
Referee Alexander called IL a draw.
Ertle had earned eight OF the twelve
rounds, thrice fIoored his man, did
most OF tho leading, landed mosI OF
the hard blows, and never was in
trouble himself. Williams earned
three rounds. One was even. VIII
liSms came within . hair OF being
counted out in the second round, and
yet Referee Alexander called the af-
fair a draw.
