CHIC BROWN TO
MEET LEONARD

Chic Brown, the New Haven light
weight and champion of New Eng
land, is the first Connecticut boy to
get a, crack at a worlds title. On
Dec. II before the Ryan A. c. at
the New Haven arena, Brown will
meet worlds champion Benny Leon
ard of New York in a 1o-round bout
and there are many fans in New
Haven betting that Brown will stick
the 10 rounds with the champion.
Brown is training hard for this
very important engagement and
judging from the early advance sale
Of tickets the gate will be a record
breaker for this state.
The 10 round semi-final bout is
between Battling Lain Of Brooklyn
and Billy Fitzsinmons Of New Haven,
both of whom boys have fought
Champion Kid Williams and made
good showings.
The Leonard-Brown bout will be
staged at promptly 8 o'clock for the
convenience of out of town patrons
of the club who may desire to leave
New Haven early.
Young Mulligan, the former crack
amateur of New Haven and Battling
Green of Hartford viii open the show
with q six rounder The sale of
tickets and arrangements for out of
town parties are in the hands of Hugh
Rorty Of Hartford.

BRIDGEPORT TO
HAVE A. A. u. CLUB

The organization of an athletic as
ISOLATION to be guided by the Amateur
Athletic union rules in this city is ad-
vocated by a number Of prominent
sport leaders here. Just how far the
movement has progressed has not
been made known, but the promoters
are busily interesting prominent clubs
to join hands with them in bringing
about such an organization.
It is proposed to organize such a
club for the furtherance Of all sorts
of sports, but particularly running
and field events. At present there
is no such club in this city and the
promoters are wise enough to realize
that now is the best time to start
boosting for such an association. That
it would be of great help to the COM
munity at large is an undisputed fact.
It is proposed to hold a meeting of
representatives of various athletic
clubs and Industrial plants through
out the city at the Y. N. C.. A. or
some other centrally located hall some
time before the end Of the month. A
prominent A. A U. official from the
metropolitan district will be in at
tendance to answer all questions and
also to supervise the organization of
an association.

acuse, held to tie by West Virginia,
proved to be an eleven which improv-
ed with every game. Its showing
against the team representing the
Newport Naval Reserve, headed by
former Captain Black Of Yale which
caAAe as near to being an All-Ameri-
can team than any combination on
the field in years, entities the New
Brunswick to high place Of honor
in the final ranking of the season.
Pennsylvania chief claim to dis
tinction lies in the splendid fighting
spirit developed among the compare
lively green and inexperienced
Quaker players. This determination
to win against great odds proved too
much for Michigan, Dartmouth and
Cornell while even Pittsburgh and
Georgia Tech. found the Philadelphia
col1egians worthy opponents. SYRIA
cuse bowed to Pittsburgh alone and
was the best Of the Eastern represen-
tatives in the annual intersectional
games of the year, winning from
both Nebraska and Michigan Aggies.
AS an effect to this Notre Dame won
from both the Army and Washington
and Jefferson.
Not including several cantonment
vs. college games yet to be played the
scores OF the leading teams of the
South and East for the 1917 season
are as follows:

EASTERN LEAGUERS
PROBLEM is TOUGH

When the Eastern league magnates
meet next month they will be con-
fronted with the most perplexing
problem in the history of baseball.
AS far as is known the Eastern
leaguers propose operating next sea-
son, regardless of the stand taken by
the, major clubs. A committee to
draw up a schedule was elected at
the annual meeting held in New Ha-
ven and is reported to be busy ar
ranging a schedule and a, batch of
dates to- present for the approval of
the club owners at the coming meet
ing.
A canvass of the papers in the vari-
Gus cities that were represented in
the Eastern league last season
brought to light the fact that about
IS per cent. of the unmarried players
who played this year have enlisted.
MANY others are contemplating taking
the same step.

UNUSUAL INTERCOLLEGIATE
FOOTBALL SEASON BROUGHT!
TOCLOSE THANKSGIVINGDAY

A most peculiar and unusual college
football season came to a close with
the playing of number Of games on
Thanksgiving Day. and the parapher-
MALTA of the gridiron game has been
laid away for another year or possi-
bly, for a longer period, depending
upon the events of the next twelve
months. In the east the season was
marked by the absence of teams rep
and most renowned universities OF
the section.
Other institutions, although many
of the veteran players were lost to
the elevens due to enlistment in vari-
GUS forms Of war service, developed
teams of remarkable strength, not
withstanding this handicap. Another
feature was the appearance Of mill
tary and naval cantonment teams,
several of which came nearer to be-
ing all-AneTican combinations than
any eleven ever seen on the gridiron
heretofore In the middle west the
colleges adhered ito their original
schedules and there was far less OF
the cancellation of games and make
shift contests that were a part Of the
Atlantic coast football program.
Viewing the east and the South as
q whole, six teams stand out as
combinations of remarkable power and
ability when the various handicaps
spd limitations under which the sport
was conducted, are taken into con-
sideration. Pittsburg, Georgia Tech,
Pennsylvania. Navy, Syrcuse and Rut-
gers while not all undefeated, played
football which in or more respects
entitled them to higher classific~-
ton than that accorded the majority
Of the teams OF the section.
The University of Pennsylvania
eleven and the team representing
Georgia Tech. went through the
season without defeat but this was
no new experience for either college
as both have had clean states for the
past three years. During this period
rolled up total of 1,129 points
against opponents "a; playing twenty
five games of which twenty-three
were won and two tied. Pittsburg in
the same three seasons played twenty
six games winning all and accumulat
ing a total Of TAI points against her
opponents 50. Georgia Tech. holds
the honor of amassing the largest
number of points during the 1917
season with 491 while Navy is second
with 442. The Sailors eleven under
the coaching OF Gil Dobie lost but
one game and ran up heavy scores
against opponents throughout the en-
tire Autumn.

GEORGIA TECH. TO
MEET PENN. TEAM

Pennsylvania and, Georgia Institute
of Technology will meet on the grid
iron in Philadelphia next fall, accord
ing to information reaching here yes
terday from Major M, J. Pickering,
graduate manager Of athletics at
Pennsylvania.
It is probable that the game will be
played on the second Saturday of
November, the date usually allotted to
the University of Michigan. because
the possibility of continuation of
the series between the Wolverines and
Quakers is remote. in view Of the fact
that Michigan has been reinstated in
full standing in the Western Confer
ence.

LITTLE ITALIAN
SEEMS TO SCORN
NEXT OPPONENT

Battling Kunz of Norwalk d train
ing faithfully for his big bout with
Johnny Dundee at the Casino on next
Monday night and in reply to the con-
tention of Scotty Monteith, the Ital-
ian's manager, last night said that he
would make the New Yorker a pres
ent if he even rocked him. Kunz is
perfectly sincere about the offer and
to make sure that he will not lose he
is working his hardest
Norwalk fans are enthusiastic over
their favorite's chance Of victory on
Monday and have applied for Sec
ton to be reserved. exclusively for
them. According to announcement
made by Ben Lee last night the tic
kets are selling fast and if what he
says turns out to be true one of the
biggest crowds to witness a boxing
contest in Bridgeport will be on deck
to see the two hghtweights in action.
If the Kunz-Dundee bout fails to
draw the fans then it will be high
time for others here contemplating
holding bouts this season to put on
the shelf their plans The Glover A.
c. is offering one of the best cards
arranged for the approval of local fans
and if the latter fail to avail them
selves of the opportunity of seeing q
SIS show at popular prices, the game
here will have fallen back cpnsid-
erably.
Every bout on the card on paper
looks like a winner. The club has
offered Dundee a fat guarantee with
a percentage privilege. Kunz, accord
ing to report made last night, will
gamble. The preliminary bouts will
also cost the club considerable. money
and only with capacity house can
the promoters make money. It is safe
to say that next Mondays show repre-
sents a bigger outlay Of money than
any other bout staged here this sea-
| son.
Dundee will not come to Bridgeport
until Monday morning, according to
Scotty Monteith. Johnny will train
until Saturday morning in New York.
Saturday night he will figure in a
bout, but this he ought to win with
little effort.

BTG LEAGUE OWNERS
no DISCUSS TAXES
AT JOINT MEETING

Chicago, Dec. GA uniform method
Of soliciting the war tax on passes to
baseball games, it was said today,
would be one of the many subjects
to come before the joint meeting
here Dec. 1s of the club owners of
the two major leagues, arranged at a
confsrence last night between August
Herrmann, president Of the Cincin-
natl Nationals and chairman of the
National Commission, and B. B.
johnson, president Of the American
League.
In order to avoid confusion and
congestion from an attempt to collect
the tax on each pass as presented at
the gate. the suggestion was made
during the conference between the
two ofhcials that 1915 be collected in
advance when each pass is issued at
the beginning OF the season That
would be at the rate of eight cent?
Tor each coupon. In case pass
holder does not use all his coupons
Il IS proposed to turn the balance
over to the Red Cross at the end Of
the season.

INDOOR GAMES
GET APPROVAL

Raymond B. Fostlick. chairman of
the Commission on Training Activi-
ties at Washington, heartily indorses
the plans Of the Milrose A. A. to place
its annual indoor games, which will
be held at Madison Square Garden
next month, at the disposal of the War
Department. The entire program,
with the exception of a few feature
races, will be turned over to the en-
listed men. The receipts will also be
donated for athletic equipment for
the army and navy training camps.
The officials of the Millrose A. A.
received letter from Fosdick, part
Of which reads:
This is a public spirited action
which will commend itself to every
patriotic citizen in the country, and
speaking for the Secretary of War, I
want to thank you for your thought

PITTS FAREWELL
BATTLE TONIGHT

Two well known boosters of the
boxing sport in Bridgeport will make
their farewell appearance at the ban
rer smoker that will be held at the
Acorn A. C. on Kossuth street tonight.
Charley Pitts, the Australian, who has
been in this city for quite a number
/ of months, will figure in his last
Bridgeport bout when he tackles Bill
ly De Foe of St. Paul, but now living
here, in the main attraction of six
rounds. Harry Harris, who has Of
ficiated as announcer at many of the
local shows, will also say good bye
to his friends here. Harry will do
the announcing tonight and leave for
England either Friday or Saturday.
Billy De Foe has trained hard for
this bout and his manager, Sammy
Hollis, yesterday was around telling
the boys that his protege would put
his Australian foe to sleep. This will
be quite a job, for Charley is a stiff
puncher and clever. The two are
evenly matched and should furnish
the fans with a truly fast battle.
The semi-final bout will bring to-
gether Johnny Sharpe and Red Ben
nett, the fighting conductor. This
has every sembhnce Of turning into
stiff argument In a. way it is a
grudge fight Red is confident that
he will put skids under Joe Smiths
champion. Another battle that is
expected to develop a few thrills will
see AL Ketchell against Young Brown.
The curtain raiser will be between
Toto Burns and Young Mitchell. Be
tween the bouts an entertainment will
be furnished by Terry Lees quartet.
Jim Hart will referee. NJ. F. O'Connor
will hold TIE timepiece.

FREEZING WEATHER
HALTS YALE CREWS
IN FALL PRACTICE

New Haven. Dec. 6-The freezing
weather of the past few days has
called a halt in the fall training of
the Yale oarsmen and they have
stripped their shells for the winter.
The improvement made under the
coaching of Prof. Mather Abbott of
the faculty, who was Guy Nickalls'
lieutenant last year, and who has had
charge of the crew squad since war
was declared, has been reassuring to
the college.
Yale's rowing program for next
spring is not yet decided on. but it is
taken for granted that Yale will ar
range no crew race with Harvard or
Princeton till war ceases. There will
be a number Of spring events, how
ever, but they will not be determined
till spring. because of the possibility
Of changed Conditions in the univer-
sity, due to the war.

Track at that place, was restored to
good standing by the Board of Re-

terday.
He was. suspended with all his
horses without hearing last fall
through the hasty action of the Sec
retatry of the Belmont Park Associa-
ton of Philadelphia, growing out of
a Misunderstanding over a check for
entrance fees.
Apart from this case only routine
business was transacted and adjourn
ment was taken later in the after

WORLD'S CHAMP
AND GIBSON GO
TRANSFORMING.

Billy Gibson, Who is out on q barn
storming tour with Benny Leonard,
will meet Nate Lewis in Chicago to-
day. and the chances of matching the
champion and Charley White for a
2O-round title bout seem bright
Gibson intends to get a move on
before the government steps in and
calls halt on the outside activitieg
of the military boxing instructors.
Leonard has not been f1ampered in
any way up to date, but Uncle Sam
has his own ideas about things, and
delay might mean, that the fans would
have 20 wait until the war is over
before seeing the two great hitters
match haymakers.
White is convinced that he can beat
Leonard in fight for the Champion,
ship. White had his chance with
Welsh in Denver and failed, but even
Leonard does not blame Charlie
Augustus for trying. It means big
gate whenever they toe the mark,
whether they box now or until we've
thoroughly winded Kaiser Bill.
There are any number of promoters
who want to get this bout Dick Cur
ley and Jim Buckley. backed by John
Torrio Of Chicago. are ready to give
Leonard a $4,000 guarantee for his
end, but there is a hitch in the ar
rangements. Gibson is laundering
after the honor Of promoting that
bout himself. He believes that he can
put it onto Connecticut, and so do
Curley, Buckley. Torria & Co. New
Orleans wants a hand in the meeting
and has offered a goodly sum for the
privilege.
