JEFF Smith GRANTED
PERMISSION TOFIGHT
War Department Will Allow Camp
Dix Boxing Instructor Time
Of to Meet Shelter.

Jeff Smith, of Bayonne. n. J., who is
slated TO meet Kid Shelter, of Fred
erick, in the main attraction at the
Maryland Athletic and Social Club, of
Ardmore, Md. on the night OF Thurs
day. December 20, was compelled to
obtain permission from the War De-
partment in order TO fill this engage
ment.
Jerome Jeffords, the given name of
Jeff Smith. is at present civilian box
ing instructor for Uncle Sans soldiers
stationed at Camp Dix. JefT has been
whipping the Sammies into shape for
the big battle cover there" and as
boxing is in the line Of duty nowadays
for the sildiers, Smith has one Of the
largest classes in any OF the military
cantonements.
The War DEPARTMENT allows its box
ing instructors to compete in engage
ments outside OF the camp, but per-
mission must be obtained for leave Of
absence. Smith will arrive here with
his manager. AL Lippe. on Tuesday
night, December 18th, in his "a la
Lieutenant Benny Leonard" uniform.
Although not enlisted, boxing instruc-
tors are compelled to wear the khaki.
The uniform resembles an infantry Of
ficer's somewhat.
Dominick Tortorich, the well-known
fight promoter of New Orleans, wired
to AL Lippe yesterday offering 60 per
cent of the gross receipts for a 20
round bout between Smith and Mike
Gibbon at the Louisiana Auditorium
at New Orleans next month. Tortorich
said that nothing would please him
better than to have JEFF fight either
Gibbons or Mike O'Down. the new
champion.

EBBETS AND RUPERT
WORK ON BLUE LAW

Col. Holiday Ebbets and Col.
Jacob Rupert are working hand in
mitt these days stirring up agitation
which they hope will lead to the re-
peal of the old blue law which pro-
hibits Sunday baseball in New York.
Prior to the recent city election in
Gotham Ebbets and Rupert sent cir
cular letters to all Of the candidates,
asking their opinion of Sunday ball.
and both received favorable replies.
But a campaigs promise is a cam
paign promise, and mostly conversa-
ton.
II New York could have Sunday
ball 1t would be the best thing that
could happen to the two major
leagues, let alone the three local
clubs. The fans of New York have
to go to Newark or attend semi
professional games II they want to
see baseball on Sunday. and there are
thousands Of them who cannot get
away any other time.
But what the fans and magnates
want and what the laws allow are
two vastly different things.

TWO MORE GOLFERS

years been a member of the Engle-
wood Country Club. He plays a good
game, and when Harold Hilton made
his second visit to this country
Barnes had the distinction Of defeat
ing the famed Britisher during the
progress of a tournament on the ma
tional links.

TO PLAY GAME
AT PARK TODAY
Mohawks Will Battle Coast
Artillery Eleven in Big
Benefit.

Nothing but another snowstorn. or
a very severe rain. can prevent the
playing of the Mohawk Athletic Club
Coast Artillery game today at the
American League Park This con-
test is for the benefit Of the Home
Defense League with tho District in
dependent gridiron title at stake.
The snow and rain which fell yes
terday made the field a sea of mud.
but from the expert opinion of one
John O'Day. who is in charge of
the grounds at the Florida Avenue
Stadium. came the statement last
night that he believed the field would
be in tiptop shape for the battle,
providing the wind would keep up
until shortly before game time.
The preliminary contest which was
scheduled to start at 1:3O p. m, be-
tween the Westover and Truxton
clubs for the 14O-pound championship,
has been called off. as 1t was ad-
vised to allow the gridiron to dry
out as much as possible before the
warriors in the big game take the
field. This contest will no doubt be
played on the field at the Bathing
Beach in Potomac Park.
Although the going may be a lit
tie heavy for the athletes today, the
fans who Journey to the Florida Ave-
nue. Stadium are sure of witnessing
great battle. as both clubs are
prime for the occasion. Capt. Hill
has been driving the Soldiers through
a stif scrimmage and signal drill
each evening during the past week
in preparation for this contest, while
the Indians" have been working
overtime in getting into shape and
have few new plays which they
will use in this game.
Preparations are being made for the
largest crowd Of the season. The
Home Defense League members will
nave entire charge Of the running Of
the game. The gates will open at
o'clock sharp, with the game start
Ing at 2:45. No admission will be
charged, but contributions will be
taken up at the gate.

TITLE EVENTS
NEXT SEASON
Association Decides to Hold
All Championships
During 1918.

New York. Dec. s.-A bumper sea-
son Is the outlook for the game Of
lawn tennis during 1918. Such was the
decision reached by the United States
Lawn Tennis Association executive
committee at its quarterly meeting
at the Waldorf Astoria Friday night,
and made public today.
Pre-war conditions of the game are
to be restored. notably in connection
with the national singles title, the
doubles. the clay court title, and the
women's championships, both out
door and indoor.
These were the main items agreed
to by the solons of the sport, and
they were recommended for adoption
to the annual convention Of the ma
tional body. which will take place in
February and which will no doubt be
carried. Among the rank and file of
the players the abolishment of the
regular schedule last year did not
meet with approval The policy was
at variance with the advice Of Presi-
dent Wilson and Secretary of War
Baker, that all sports should be en-
couraged as much as ever, as they
helped materially in the training of
the soldiers.
AS far as possible all the minor
tournaments will be restored, and
unless something unforeseen occurs
lawn tennis will again occupy the po-
sition 1t reached during the three or
four years prior to the declaration
OF war.
1t is proposed that the proceeds OF
the championships next season be de-
voted to the improvement of training
facilities in the different military
camps, and after a conference Edwin
F. Torrey had with Secretary of War
Baker the plan met with approval.
Julian S. Myrick and Edwin F. Tor
rey had a consultation previous to
that with Mr.. Baker and outlined the
policy pursued Secretary Baker
voiced the approval Of the administra-
ton for the proposal.

many, featured the final days session
which came to a close with a luncheon.
Tentative dates Of the majority Of
the colleges for the 1913 football season
were announced at the meeting and in
some instances set dates were an
nounced. Baseball schedules for the
next spring were not touched upon at
all, correspondence between the
schools having developed to such an
extent that practically all of them
have their baseball dates made out.

BEST ATHLETES
SAMMIES NOW
List Of Sporting Men ''Over
There and Going Over
Is Big Slam at Ban B.

The recent action OF Ban John
son in suggesting that the govern
ment be asked TO exempt about 800
ballplayers so that baseball would
not have to be discontinued left a
decidedly bad taste in the mouths
OF thousands of Americans, who deem
ed the suggestion unpatriotic and
doubtless believed that II one Of the
biggest men in Americas greatest
sport would be a party to such u
proposition that all sport must be
clouded with slackerism.
This feeling would naturally be sup
ported by the failure of the country s
greatest boxers to enlist and the
haste in which they sought exemp-
ton from the draft.
But the avidity with which John
Tener. president OF the National
League, and a number of American
League maGnates repudiated John
sons suggestion did much to show
the real attitude of the majority OF
big men in baseball.
And so far as other branches o.
sport are concerned followers of sport
may take pride in the Iact IL ",
stars of the diamond, gridiron and
track offered themselves among the
first,
If Waterloo. as Wellington decIar-
ed, was won on the football field AZ
Rugby. it is not too far to so to say
that Vimy Ridge was won on the
athletic fields of Canada and that
the football and baseball fields of
America will have a great deal to
do when the last drive is made to Sc
cure the liberty of the world from
Kaiserism.
No figure will stand out more heroi-
cally In future annals of sport than
that of Johnny Poe, the Princeton
star. one of the first Americans, to
offer himself for liberty long before
America Joined the war. His grave,
near where he fell in a charge in the
battle OF Mons, Is an eternal monu-
ment to American sport.
Since then hundreds of college foot
ball men have followed him. Every
training camp is filed with men whose
names have been written in football
history in the past. Two or three all
American teams OF the past can be
found in service.
Hank Gowdy, hero of the 1914 world
series, was the first baseball player to
don a uniform. Scores of other play
ers from the big leagues and the mi
nors have followed MIN.
A few months ago a big sturdy
fellow walked down the gangplank of
= boat at an eastern port. One arm,
hung in a sling. The other
gripped a leash on a big collie. Jack
aIunro, the first of our boxers to see
real service, had come back, inca
pacitated for further duty by wounds
received in a charge.
Tennis playing seems to develop
those senses necessary to the aviator
for seven Of the big ten" of 1916 are
in the aviation corps. Golf has given
France Ouimet and many others.
There won't be many track records
broken next year. There are no ath-
letes left in colleges to break them.
Practically every man who has hung
up new standards over the cinders
may now be reached by addressing his
letters U. S. A.

M'CARTY'S SHOULDER
AS GOOD AS EVER

Catcher Lew McCarty. OF the New
York Giants, has returned to his
home in Catawissa, Pa, after spend
ing the time since the world series
hunting in Vermont.
He is still suffering from the shoul-
der hurt in the second game Of the
world series. Ligaments were torn,
and did not heal as expected.
However, a man who is able to
shoot from an injured shoulder should
not be kicking. and maybe McCarty
is not as badly off as he makes out.
