Shea to Clash With Hughes-Martin
and Drummic Ready.

New Haven, Oct. 25.-Tonnay Shea,
champion featherweight Of the state
and claimant of the New England
title. will have a chance tonight at
the Arena to show just how good he
really is. He is down for 12-rounds
with Billy Hughes. the crack feather
weight of Bridgeport, and the fans
look for one of the fastest and most
scientific bouts witnessed here in some
time. This is one Of the two star
bouts to be offered by the Indian
Head A. G. at its opening show OF
the season and judging from the
talk about town. the bout is going
big and there will be a big crowd on
hand tonight.
State fandom is much interested in
the other star bout, 12-rounder be-
tween Johnny Martin of New Haven
and Johnny Drummie Of Waterbury,
who will battle for a chance at State
Champion Battling Kunz, of South
Norwalk. These boys are considered
evenly matched and they should put

to end. Both Martin and Drummie
have worked hard for this bout and
both are reported to be on edge and
waiting for the sound Of the gong that
will determine which is the boy to get
a chance at the state lightweight

JOHNSON DECIDES
TO Shorten SEASON
New Plan Calls for Opening About
May 1, Closing in September

Chicago, Oct. 25-A shorter base
ball schedule has been decided upon
for 1918, when the two major leagues
will revert to the 40 game schednIe
In vogue prior to 1908. Since then
the National and American league
teams have played 1874 games.
In recent years the season has been
started in the lap Of winter, the open
ing Of the season being between April
8 and IA About ten years ago the
ball clubs encountered fairly warm
weather for these early openings, but
the spring in recent years has made
a farce Of these April games 1T was
not an uncommon thing in the last
few years FOR a team to be idle an
entire week because Of poor weather.
The schedules then were carried into
the first week Of October, bringing the
worlds series into the raw football
weather Of middle October.
According to a statement made ny
President Ban Johnson Of the Amer
lean League in St Louis yesterday
he pronoses to start the American
League season about April 27 Or May
and end in the middle Of Septen Der.
The National League also is favor
able to a short series. President
Tener Of the National League said
Yesterday he was in favor Of the
shorter schedule and added that it
. was the sense Of his club owners at
. last Fridays m Getting to clip down the
! schedule to 140 games
Chairman Garry Hermann Of the
! National Commission, who is also
president Of the Cincinnati club, ha.
| been advocating a shorter series fol
some time, and President Hampstead
of the Giants and Charley Ebbets Of
Brooklyn are Of the same opinion.
In discussing the shorter season II
St. Louis yesterday Ban Johnson said
IT have always thought that 49,
games were too many. Each year
have commended that 40 games wa
the ideal schedule, but as the senti
ment among the club owners did no
seem to favor my idea I never pressed
the point. The shortening next sea
son is in nowise a war move, although
T think the war provides very goo
reason for inaugurating the plan.

I do not think the shortening of tn
schedule will entail q reduction of tn

Strong Efforts Being Brought to Bear
to Secure Arny-Navy Contest For
New Haven.

T. New Haven, Oct. 25.-New Haven
ers are showing much interest in the
plan to bring together the Army and
Navy football teams In the absence
of big games in which Yale, Harvard
and Princeton have participated, it
has been pointed out that an Army
Navy game in the mammoth Bowl
would eclipse all other gridiron events
in arousing public enthusiasm. The
fact that such combat would bene-
fit the Red Cross Or some other
patriotic organization in need of as
sistance would greatly increase the
interest. The academies are willing
to play and the Yale authorities, it
is believed, would not stand in the
way of such classic for so patriotic
cause. Last year the Yale arvrd
game in the Bowl drew nearly
$4,000.
