JOSH DEN0RE1HAD
 A PEACEFUL LIFE

One of the most interesting and diff Gicu1t occupations thatAhave been car rfed on as a side line by baseball ob- servers for several years, is keeping track of Josh Devore. This intrepid traveller, once famed as the lucky dog of the diamond, begins his thirty-first year today, as he was born Nov. 15, 1887, in Murray City, Ohio. In the days of his festive youth Josh played 1n Meridian, Miss, and Raleigh, N. C., and then was given a trial by the Giants.
 He didn't quite fill the bf11, how ever, and was given railroad ticket to Newark. After bearing it with the Bears for some time, he was recalled to the McGraw, club and shared in the worlds series melon in 1911 and 1912- He was shipped to Cincinnati 5n 1913, but was sold to the Phillies. who swapped him to the Braves in time for Josh to horn in or. the series kale in 1Sd4 In 19t t5s our hero spent the sumrnei. With tie Ohio State lea que. He was manager of the club which started in Chillicothe, but which was later transferred to Hunt ington and then to Maysville, ky.
 Deyore won the second season pen- nant for Maysvf1le, but lost in the p1ayoff with Portsmouth. In, 1916 Josh started in Philadelphia uni- form. but Pat Moran separated him from the payroll in April. sJosh then made q bhort stay in Milwaukee, but M mfd16eason the Brewers released b1m 70 Topeka Otherwise Josh has Qptct and uneveptful career.

PENN TURNS TO
 MICHIGAN GAME

Philadelphia, Nov. 13-The Penn- sylvania team came out of the game with Dartmouth in good condition, and while one of the men sustained several bruises and there was the usual number of minor hurts, 1t did not. prevent the regulars from report ing yesterday at the field for practice.
 Bob Folwell gave the team talk yesterday and announced that scrirn- images would be held every day. Fol well does not intend to add any new plays to his repertoire for the Michi- gan game. He will bend all energies to perfecting those that have already been tried out and found effective. Forward passing and better defense for such plays will take up much of the practice from now until Satur- day.
 Dr. Wharton will continue his work with the linemen, but gave the men 8 rest yesterday. He was we'll satisfied with the showing of thel inemen in the Dartmouth game, and says the only thing needed is to correct a few game at Boston.
 More attention will be given tosget- ting the men in best possible condi- liOiA I11dI1 lO lOOlpdiA' oAWO&1 AAOWb the Wolverines to be a strong and fast lot, and feels that 1t Is more important to have his men in fine phy- sical condition than 1t is to drill them long and hard at football.
 Berry was yesterday put to work on drop-kicking. His bunting has been first class, but he has been rather cratic in kicking goals from the field. He showed up well yester- day with several goals from the 40- yard line.

COCHRAN LEADS BILLIARD MATCH
 WITH H0WISON

New York. Nov. 13.-Welker Coch- ran, the youthful balkHne expert from the bounding West, last night won the opening block of his 2,000 points match with Leonard Howison, a vet eran player, by the decisive score of 400 to 225 in a rather one-sided con- test. The match is at 18.2 balkline. The youngster rather took the in- terest out of the nights contest by rolling up a brilliant cluster of 1O3 buttons in his first inning, and per forming with such masterly skill thereafter that he had accumulated 252 points in his first six innings for an average of AZ. This high powered travelling by the Westerner left How ison well in the background and out of the running so far as that partic- ular block was concerned.
 Yet the large and appreciative crowd that gathered in Howison's 8 rooms to see the match enjoyed the tilt from an artistic viewpoint and also for the courageous effort made by the veteran in the closing innings /, of play. A kiss that deprived Howison of thP opening shot may have had some thing to do with his poor start. He won the bank and played perfectly for the ball on the spot Just as the cue ball bumped the second object ball the red gently caressed the play CTS ball and the shot was missed. As the balls were left in position for cu- mulative counting, and las Cochran got the spheroids working in an oily manner and never let up till he had collected 103 buttons, it can readily be understood that it was a disastrous kiss for the veteran.
 It may have been the moral effect of the big run. or the rust that re- suited from a decade of non-competi- tive billiards. but whatever the cause Howison was unable to get started. He seemed to be fighting the worries and in his first eight frames he man. aged to gather but 90 points. for an average of Il 3-4, as against 73 points for Cochran and an average of over 24
 The balls also broke badly for How ison, and he did not begin to play close billiards till the final seven in- nings, when he got the worries rolling we'll and helped his average mate rially.
 Cochran's game was quite up to his
 
 the line nurse, which is his strong point, as well as usual, but his posi- ton play was remarkably good and his accuracy of stroke could hardly have been improved on. Some of his masse shots when the balls were in a difficult position were loudly ap- plauded.
 The performance ofS the youth strengthened the opinion of the on- lockers that he will eventually be called on to meet Champion Hoppe.
 At the same >time it was predicted that Howison will play much stronger in the remaining games of the match.
 The score by innings:
 Cochran-10s, IA. %, a1, 1s. 72, IA, 1s, T, s3, o, ', 21 46, '. Total, 400.

OMAR KHAYYAM
 BEATEN IN BOWIE BY WESTY HOGAN

Pimlico Race Track. Nov. 13-Wes- ty Hogan beat his stable mate, Omar Khayyam, in the Bowie Handicap at one mile and half here yesterday afternoon.
 The three-year-old brown son of Dick Finnell-Carrie Jones, which Wilfred Viau bought from John O. Whitlow for .$20,000 at Saratoga Springs last August, showed that he was something more than a sprinter, too, for picking up 120 pounds, he broke with the track and led his field by open daylight to the winning post, lowering the track record for the dis- tance 1-5 seconds, in doing it. His time was 2:31 4-5
 There were few thrills to the race beyond the dazzling pace set by Wes- ty Hogan and the thrilling rush at the end of Omar Khayyam for A. K. Ma comber's good lilly Sunbonnet trailed in six lengths behind the Viau pair. while the other ten starters were strung out along the course like lamp posts on a country road.
 The lightly weighted Fairy Wand. which finished second to Omar Khay- yam in the Walden chased Westy Hogan most of the way, with Walnut Half third and Butwen rating Omar in fourth place.
 At the mile and quarter Wal. nut Hall dropped out of it, but the Star Shoot Ally hung on gamely. Turning into the stretch she began to weaken and suh Bonnet made her bid.
 Here Butwell made his move on Omar Khayyam, and the good son of Marco responded gamel despite his 130 pound impost. Surging forward he wore his stablemate down, but was beaten a length at the end. There were many in the crowd that thought 1t pity that Westy Hogan was not eased up at the end when the field was so we'll beaten so that the great CT honor could have gone to Omar Khayyam. However, the two of them won. $s.5oo of the $1o.0oo purse for MT. viau.

THIRD SULLIVAN
 RYAN CONTEST

On Nov. IS. 1sS6, thirty-one years ago today, John L. Sullivan knocked out Paddy Ryan in the third round at San Francisco. This was the third and last meeting between the two great Irish fighters. Ryan was cham pion of America when. he first met the 'tBoston Strong Boy'' at Mississip- pi City in 1882. Paddy was knocked out in the ninth round and John l.. be- came the king of American pugilism. Ryan tried to regain his lost laurels at New York in 1885, but the police stopped the bout before 1t had fairly started. They were then matched by a San Francisco club. but poor old Paddy was only bite for the Yora- cious John L. Ryan fought only one more battle. This was against Joe McAuliffe in New York and Paddy was whipped. Ryan hailed originally from Tipperary, but settled in Troy. N. Y, where he died. He attained the championship in 1880 by whip ping Joe Goss in a terrific eighty sew en round battle at Golfers Stadium. W. Va.

Talk Of Sports


 Big league players who have con- tracts for next year may consider themselves mighty lucky. The war time economy policy is getting to re- suit in lot of pruning all around.
 The hearts of the fans in Syracuse are beating high. There are all sorts of runors that the Saline City will be represented in the International lea que next season. This would fulfill an ambition cherished in Syracuse for a long time.
 Considerable interest is being taken in the East in the attempt to revive the ancient Scottish game of curl ing. At a recent meeting in New York the matter was taken up by the International Skating Union with Louis Rubenistein, Acting Mayor of Montreal and president of the St., An drew Curling club of that city. Nego- tiations are now under way to stage a series of matches between clubs from these two cities.
 Legalized boxing seems doomed fin New York, and, naturally, lot of suggestions are being heard that will enable the fans to get around the law. A number of clubs operating under the club membership plan are thinking of cutting the number of rounds down from ten to six, but this plan is drowned upon by the old tim- CTS who consider that the reduction of the present limit will be disastrous to the development of first class. fight CTS. Philadelphia, where the limit is six rounds, is pointed to as an ex- ample. Despite the fact that city swarms with fighters, it can only lay claim to having produced one man of champion material. That man was Philadelphia Jack O'Brien.

BOXING IN CLUBS
 WITHIN THE LAW

Buffalo, N. Y, Nov. 13.-While in Buffalo yesterday to speak before the American Federation of Labor, Gov. Whitman in a newspaper interview gave his views on the subject of the future of boxing in the State as fol- lows:
 There is no law against boxing in this State.
 "There is nothing to prevent boxing bouts either in legitimate clubs or in one's home for that matter.
 Where bouts are conducted in le- gitimate clubs for members of the or ganizaztion there can be no objection, provided the contests are held in an orderly manner.
 1T see no reason why legitimate clubs should not have boxing.''

PRINCETON LACKING IN FO0TBALL SPIRIT

For the first season in so many years that the memory of men run meth not back that far, Princeton is a football Sahara. Not alone because there is no varsity eleven in Tiger land, but because there isn't even the semblance of the true old foot ball spirit in it's confines. Despite the fact that Princeton has been able to get together what it calls an in- formal team for one game and that the eleven probably will play one more contest, there isn't as much football spirit in all of Princeton as there ts in one dormitory at Yale.
 Until last Saturday we had an idea that Princeton really wanted a var sity team. If it harbors any such desire it is managing to camouf1age it in expert style. If Princeton, de- pended on upper class men for its informal eleven, there would be none. The one game played was made possible by the addition of graduates, and yet no one can make us believe that there are not enough football players among the under graduates to fill at least two e1evens.
 The Princeton freshmen who play ed the Harvard cubs last Saturday, and took a fine beating from the lads in Crimson disappointed greatly. The Tiger cubs showing against Exeter led most football followers to believe that Fred Dawson had a better than average freshman team, but that i'm pression quickly was dispelled last Saturday.
 Old Princeton Faults.
 There was something about the Princeton freshman aggregation that reminded us strongly of Princeton varsity teams of recent years. For one thing the generalship of the "fresh'' was something beyond under. standing. They tried forward passes deep in their own territory and did not seem able to mask that play either, with the result that invaria- ply a Harvard lad was right there to intercept the pass and leave the Crimson in a fine position for a drive on the goal line. The Tiger cubs ,fumbled atrociously. Their inter- ference, particularly down the field, was weak. They kicked when they should not have kicked and vice versa. They showed little real foot ball instinct, but they did develop one highly commendab1e attribute. In the second half they fought like real tigers. In fighting qualities they per- haps had little something on their opponents.
 Harvard's lads showed the ability to follow the ball closely, to take ad- vantage quickly of mistakes. to keep on their toes all the time. Wales, an oral gatling gun, will be heard from on the Harvard varsity. He is a corking good quarter right now. Hamilton and Humphrey areA fine backs, while Frothingham and Faxoa appear to be the best of the line men. z {.

 Leonard Howison, who is playing a 2,00O point, 18.2 lba1kline billiard match in New York city with Welker Coch- ran, is in active competition for the first time in 10 years. He was a dec ade ago one of the most industrious players in the world. and was com peting against the leaders in the line game. He was playing a game with Glaurieux in Paris when a sudden at- tack of neuritis in his right arm de- prived him of the use of that mem Der, and he was compelled to finish the game with his left hand. Two years ago he recovered the use of his arm and now is playing with his eus- tomary skill.

Until our attention was called to it by lone of the boys in the composing room after the sheet had gone to press, we weren't aware that the Glees boasted such a pow erful combination. It was, however, charitable to the Winchesters.
 Tom Cowler western heavyweight, and Willie Meehan of California will be featured in a 12-round bout at the Armory IA A. in Boston tonight, sub- stituting for the Levinsky-Brennan bout originally scheduled. An injury to Brennan's hand prevented his ap- pearance. Cowler is managed by Al Ldppe, who formerly guarded the af- fairs of California Willie.
 We opine, by the way, that Lppe is a very appropriate name for f1gh manager.
