Chic Brown of New. Haven, cham
pipn lightweight of New England. is
to be given the opportunity of his life
time on the night of Dec. 18th. when
he meets Worlds Champion Benny
Leonard OF New York in a 10 round
bout at the New Haven arena. The
bout Is to he staged by the Ryan A.
G. of New Haven and Brown has
posted $3.50 to make 135 pounds at 8
o'clock in the afternoon.
There Is much speculation all over
the state as to whether Brown will
be able to stay the ten round limit
against Champion Leonard. There are
many New Haven fans backing Brown
to stay, while others believe the New
Haven boy will be knocked out in
short order.
The club has matched Battling Lain
OF Brooklyn and Billy F1tzs1mmons Of
New Haven for the ten round semi
final bout, but in order to accommo-
date the out Of town patrons, the club
has arranged to stage Leonard and
Brown at 9 o'clock and put on Lain
and F1tzsimmons to close the show.
Young Mulligan Of New Haven and
Battling Green Of Hartford will open
the show with a six rounder.

Cambridge, Mass, Dec. 4.-The foot
ball team from the Charleston navy
yard defeated the eleven representing
the League Island Marine from Phil
adelphia yesterday by 7 to 0.
The contest brought together prob
ably the greatest collection of stars
seen in any game this year. The Ma
rines were led by Eddie Mahan, for
mer Harvard captain, and Included
Carlow Of the Carlisle Indians, Lud
Wray Of Pennsylvania and Peacock
of Colgate. The navy yard combfna-

Because the Stadium Field was
frozen solid the teams had to play in
the mud on the freshman gridiron.
More than 5000 surrounded the battle

difference in the teams for the Navy
eleven was. the aggressor all the way,
outgaining the Marines by more than
four yards to one The Merines only
once were anywhere near. the Navy
goal line. This came late in the final
period when Wilson completed a for
ward pass from Mahan for a 25 yard
gain. He was stopped on the Navy
81 yard mark where another forward
pass was intercepted.
The Marines gained only Is yards
in their scrimmage play aside from
four completed passes for 81 yards,
most of the passes being short, while
the Charlestown outfit covered 227
yards from scrimmage and only 80
yards of this distance by the serial
route. In the middle of the field the
Marines could not stop Enright, Ca
sey and Camel, but were much bet
ter near the goal line.
In the first quarter the Navy rushed
steadily for CT yards before being held
for downs on the Marines three yard
line. Shortly after when a 80 yard
advance had been stopped, Murray

BUSINESS MEN AT
z. M. G. A. GYMNASIUM

The work Of the Y. M. c. A. gym
nasium has reached it's height for the
season and Physical Instructor
Jenkins has now full swing. There
were quite a number Of spectators at
the gym yesterday afternoon to watch
the drill and exercise Of the Business
Mems class which. by the way, was
in full attendance.
The spectators did not have as
much fun as the members Of the
class who not only demonstrated that
they can do hard physical exercise,
but have good vocal capacity as well,
perhaps strengthened by the chest
exercise. The visitors thoroughly en-
joyed themselves. Things were
sprung and done in such an i'm
promptu manner, and with SO much
gusto and spontaneity, as to cause
considerable merriment to the visi-
tors.

this city. Ons paper it looks to be
enc Of the best staged here in several
seasons. The Gotham scrapper and
the Battler from South Norwalk
should put up a great exhibition in
the final. which is scheduled to run
IL rounds. Kunz has never yet felt
a knockout punch. and hardly knows
what defeat is like. Hawever, he
will be called upon to face the
strongest opponent Of his career,
Monday night.
There are few better hghtweights in
the business than Johnny Dundee.
and Kunz will probably be willing to
admit this before the fracas is over.
Just now he is bubbling over with con-
ddence,. and that is surely a, good
sign, for those who put their faith in
signs.
The semi-final brings together Red
Allen Of this city and Mickey Donley
Of Newark. The former is well
known and liked here. He has been
prominently before the boxing public
for several years. His latest feat
was the knocking out of his long time
rival, Bud Palmer, in a match at the
Acorn A. C. smoker only few nights
ago. Mickey Donley is a good boy
and gained some fame when he de-
feated Young Blades, Rhode Island, a
few months ago. Blades was put
away by Chic Brown in New Haven
at the last show.
There are two other good bouts on
the cards. Frankie Wilson of this
city and Artie O'Leary of New York
will mix things for six rounds, bar
ring accidents, in the preliminary
while AL Richie of Providence and
George Proto Of New Haven, are
scheduled to go eight rounds in the
second battle of the evening.
Joseph Terry Lee will of1ciate as
referee, Frank Braithewaite will dc
the announcing, and Al Burdick will
sound the gong.

Tom Paddocks First Fight.

It was on Dec. 4, 1914, that Tom
Paddock defeated Elijah Parsons,
this being the first ring engagement
of the future champion Of England.
Paddock was then 20 years old. A
few years later he had his first try
for the championship against Ben
digo, but lost on a foul. In 1850 he
fought a draw with Bill Perry. the
Upton Slasher, who was then cham
pion. In the same year he was
whipped by Harry Paulson, but in
two subsequent battles defeated that
bruiser. After defeating Aaron Jones
he was again matched for the big
title, this with Harry Broome, and
was the victor. He was the recognized
leader Of the pugilistic world until
1858, when he was defeated by Tom
Sayers, who was only a middle
weight.

LAJOIE, WITH $50,
LEADS HIS LEAGUE

Napoleon Lajoie, the famous old
Larruping Larry, gave ample proof in
the International League last season
that his batting eye still is wide awake
when he led the International hitters
with an average Of $3.50. Ross Young,
the promising outfelder, farmed to
Rochester by the Giants, won. second
honors with an average of 1856.
The Toronto league champions and
the Buffalo team were tied for team
batting, with an average Of .283.

AGITATION TO CURB
PITCHERS RENEWED

New York, Dec. 1.-The fact tina.
only half a dozen batsmen of the Ma
t1ona1 League were able to get into the
800 class during the past season has
the rules in some way so that the
power which the pitchers now holt
In the national game can be curbed.
All the baseball officials admit thai
the pitcher nowadays has too great
an advantage over the batsman and
that the game would be more of a
popular attraction if there was more
hitting. Pitchers battles do not ex-
cite much enthusiasm for baseball
fans, they would rather see lots of
nattlng and more runs scored.
President Tener of the National
League is among those who favor
curbing the privileges of the pitch
ers. Last season President Tener
and the National League went on rec
ord against the use of the moist ball.
the emery ball, the talcum powder
ball, and all the other tricks USED NV
pitchers to make their f1inging more
effective. When only six ba Asmen in
major league can bat at a 300 gait
in season, baseball men realize tht
something should be done to in
crease the hitting. Manager McGraw
Of the Giants is in favor of some
change in the rules which will in
crease the hitting.
: Captain Charley Herzog of the
Giants suggests that the pitchers be
prohibited from using a windup be-
fore throwing to the batter. He says
that if this practice of preliminary
gymnastics by the pitchers was
abolished, the batting would imme-
diately improve. He says that he
knows any number of players who are
normally good hitters, whose value is
annulled because they become ratified
when a pitcher whirls his arm
around his head two or three times
before throwing the ball.
The American League took no &C
ton on the moist ball last season
while the National League referred it
to the rules committee. The rules
committee, which includes members OF
both leagues, did not meet, so no &C
ton was taken on the question. AT
both major league meetings next
week, however, the subject will come
up again, and it is likely that radical
action may be taken against this
style Of pitching.

Roger Pecknpaugh, the Yankee
shortstop, announces that he believes
that the Yanks have a good chance
to finish at least in third place next
season. Peck says: ST don't think
we will win the pennant next season,
but we are likely to finish consider
ably higher than we did the past sea-
son, If we can keep our fellows out
of the hospital. If Higgins succeeds
in adding Derrin Pratt to our infield
we will be sure to run not lower than
third
ct know New York wants a pen
nant winner" says Peckinpaugh, land
Colonel Rupert would give a lot Of
money to have one, but facts are
facts, and Huggins will have to
strengthen more than one spot before
he can win a championship. If we
get Pratt we will be stronger at sec
ond than we were. We have picked
up another good catcher in Ruel of
iNMemphis, while some Of the outf1eld-
ers tried out during the last. few
weeks of the season may come
through. We were handicapped last
year by our outfielders failing to
throw runners out at the plate, and
from what I have heard, think Hug
gins will try to land some gardeners
who can throw. We have some good
pitchers-very good, in fact. Give US
a better throwing outfield and bolster
up our hitting a. trife and we will be
right up with the leaders"
President Thomas J. Hickey is very
3, optimistic about the future Of the
American association, and says that
his organization will not only start
the season but also finish it. Mr..
Hickey was one Of the leading oppo-
nents to the third major league
schem which was suggested at Louis
Vile, a movement which would have
probably put four American league
clubs and four of the international
league out of business. Mr.. Hickey
predicts, however, that the Interna-
tional league will be unable to start
next season.
1.-The American association says
Mr.. Hickey, will not only start the
season but will finish it. We will not
be compelled to ask any favors Of the
government. We are in better condi-
ton for next year probably than any
other league in the country, because
so many of our players are above the
draft age I know, however, that the
international league will be unable to
start"
