MEETS
 THREE OPPONENTS
 DURING THIS WEEK

New York. Oct. 22-Benny Leonard, the worlds lightweight champion.
 starts off today to help out the stock
 holders of various railroads. The
 title holder will blow this town this afternoon on a tour that will bring
 him to Philadelphia, Buffalo and Cleveland. And in each of these cit ies he will bcAl an aspiring, also ann
 bilious gladiator
 To show that he just dotes on box ing, Benny will begin hostilities this evening with Eddie Wagand for a
 six-round joust in the City of Broth erly Love.
 Then he takes the midnight rattler
 for Buffalo, where he will bump John ny Erne, Tuesday, for ten rounds, if Johnny can last that long. When that's over and the dough is passed
 he will hop aboard the choo-choo cars for Cleveland and bang Patsy Ram sey fore and aft for ten more rounds.
 This probably ec1ipses all records for steady battling, and will make Battling Levinsky grow sore with envy. Battling at one time was the record holder for fitting from tank town to tank town, so this stunt of Leonard's will rob him of his honors. When Benny gets these trio of .ferocious',s encounters cut of his sys- tenn he will do a metamorphosis From Benny Leonard, the worlds cham
 pion, he will turn into Lieut.. Ben l jarnin Leiner, U.. S. A. He will as- 1 sume his military duties at Camp Up
 ton and pound surplus flesh off many
 in the big army.

STEAMROLLERS. IN GREAT GAME WIN
 FROM THE ANNEX

New Haven, Oct. 22-With three ex-All American players, and with the rest of the eleven composed of individual ex-collegiate skarsL Fritz Pollard's strong Steam Roller foot ball team of Providence outbattled the Annex aggregation of this city at Lighthouse Point yesterday afternoon by to 0. The triumph of the Provi- dence eleven over the local boys yes- terday by such a low score, indicates that the Four Corner lads are one of the best semi-professional teams in the East, for it was anticipated that the visitors would take the locals scalp by at least IA points. <
 The three ex-All American players, whose services did much to beat the Annex were Gardner, ex3Pennsylva- mia State. at end; Barrett, ex-Cornel1. at quarterback. and Schlacler. ex- Syracuse, at guard. Gardner at end. and Barrett at quarterback, were the stars for the visitors.
 The stsong backield of the visitors, however. were checked great deal better yesterday at Lighthouse than at Providence a week ago, and al- though they ripped their way through the New Haveners' line in the second half of the game, gaining first down after first down, they found the New Haven defense inn pregnable in the first half of the gyme. During this session. the Annex not only held their own with the Providence boys, but even outplayed their rivals but they evidently could not stand the general wear and tear of the grind, and in the second hall actually succumbed to the attack o1 the Steam Rollers.
 In the second half of the contest after the Annex played one of the most brilliant games in their history in the first half, the visitors resorted to the open play game, and Barrett the star quarterback. began throwing passes with amazing accuracy. The ball was on the Steam Rollers 40. yard line, after the visitors took i from their own 10-yard line by steady l line plunging. Barrett threw a for. ward pass, which Gardner captured and the latter was not brought to ths earth until he had gained 25 yards.
 A series of fine plays failed to gair the visitors any ground, and Barret
 again dropped back for a forward. Al
 soon as the ball was passed two Annel
 men broke through the line, and il l trying to slip out of their way Bar.
 rett fell to the ground.
 | While lying on his back he hurled
 another forward pass. which Gardner
 again raked in. and sped towards tn,
 Annex line, running S2 yards befor, being downed. Another series of lin. | plays brought the ball on the Anne1 l12-yard line. and in three trials Wat
 son plunged through for a touch
 down. Driscoll failed to kick the goal

FITzSIMMONS
 HAD WONDERFUL
 CAREER IN RING.


 Chicago, Oct 22-Bob Fstzsimmons, who passed away here today, was one of the most noted as well as most picturesque characters of the ring. Fftzsimmons was born in Melsten. Cornwall, England, June 4. 1882. His parents, however, soon moved to New Zealand. F1tzsimmons started work in his fathers blacksmith shop and at the age of IS gained fame for his dexterity in swinging heavy hammer and fashioning horse shoes.
 Naturally athletic, Fftzsimmons en- gagged in all kinds of sports. Before taking up boxing he was hammer thrower and long distance runner. The former champions ring career began as the winner of a lightweight competition promoted by Jem Mace in Timaru, N. Z-, in 1880. He defeated four men, knocking out three of them, and thus became the amateur champion of the country. The next year he defended his title. defeating five opponents in one night.
 Fftzsimmons continued at the forge for the next six or seven years, but always was ready to fight. After fighting three battles with Jim Hall. then regarded as the middleweight champion of Australia, F9tzsimmons came to America in 1890. He was one of the lightest men to win the heavyweight championship. He rare 1y weighed more than 165 pounds when in condition and gave away as much as 50 pounds to some oppon- ents.
 ; F1tzsimmons won the world heavy weight title on March IT, 1897, when he defeated J. J. Corbett in the 14th round of their memorable bout in Carson City, Nev. He stopped Cor bett with his famous solar plexus punch, of which he was the origina- tor. For two years F1tzsimnnons elung to the honor, losing 1t to J. J. Jeffries, who knocked him out in the 11th, round, June 8, 1899, in Coney l Island In 1902 he met Jeffries again hoping to regain the crown, but went down to defeat in the eighth round Old timers of the ring say the last knockout at the hands of Jeffries started Fitzsimmons on the downward path. Fitzsimmons made a fortune in the ring but his earnings soon van | ished He had a varied matrimonial l career, having been married four i times.

COLGATE LIKELY TO CAPTURE EASTERN FOOTBALL TITLE AGAIN
New York State Collegians Have Same Backs Who
 Starred Last Season Against Yale.

New York;, Oct. 22-The fast Col- gate eleven which carried off the Eastern gridiron championship last season is again pointed toward that honor. While it is early yet to come to conclusions of sound value, Hanil- ton College has shown the same sort of talent that won it a place at the top year ago. Saturday, ,--the Colgate team swamped Cornell 20 to and, while Cornell must not be judged by Colgate's victory was nevertheless inn pressive.
 Last year Coach Bankart had a backfeld at Colgate which was drilled almost as perfectly as four men can be drilled. These were Gillo. Spenc- .er, Hubbe1l and Anderson. Colgate this year, has this same seasoned backfeld, with the exception of Nquar- terback Anderson, whose place is be- ing capably filled by McBride. Mcbride has shown the same excellent quaH7 ties as Anderson and he ran his team Saturday with surprising success for a new player.
 Colgate's coach this year is Harry McDevitt, an old Dartmouth player, who seems to be carrying out the plans which were so successfully laid by Bankart. Wooster is being groom ed to take Vests place as kicker and the line includes woodman, who was substitute for West last season; Carroll, last years substitute centre and Castalanes, who was one of the best ends in the game. last season These are some of the reasons thai Colgate is likely to repeat last years success.
 Cornelps showing thus far has beer sorry disappointment, and it is doubtful if Coach Sharpe will be able to overcome the handicap of the loss of so many of last years talent through enlistments. It is, however to Cornells credit that those who are left in college have decided to con tinue football in spite of the fact thai

HITCHCOCK SAYS HE'S
 NOT WORTH s A WEEK

Raymond Hitchcock, the come dian will be 46 years old today, hav- ing been born Oct. 22, 1871, at Au. burn, N. r., famed for its prisons Like many other stage favorites, MT. Hitchcock has displayed his histrionfc talent before the camera and has thus achieved vastly wider follow ing than he could otherwise hope to achieve. It is to be hoped, however, that the patrons of the movies will not share his own opinion of himself as an actor. After seeing himself in the "fi1lums,'' he was asked how he liked himself. His reply was:
 Honestly" came from the come dian, q wouldn't pay myself $3 per week."
 MT Hitchcock didn't have an easy time climbing the theatrical ladder. As a boy in Auburn he was afflicted with the amateur theatrical mania. and everybody told him he just ought to go on the professional stage and show up the cheap skates then per- forming before the footlights. With $25 and large stock of confidence he set out for New York. and when down to his last penny he succeeded in getting a position with a ten twent- thirt'' road company. He last ed about three days, and then found himself stranded in Philadelphia. He found work in John Wanamaker's s store, and remained there about 9 year, when hefi again became stage struck He secured an engagement with an operatic road company pro- ducing sThe Brigand." and played the banjo and sang songs for $16 per ,lx Moy7troo1 1ar r1oS RiOaI0Vy the comedian. became i'll, and MT. Hitchcock was given a chance to show what he could do in that line. He managed to .'get over," and became fixture. Later he was engaged for '"The Golden Wedding" and since then he has never had to hunt for g job, and. despite his own modest esti- mate of his ability, he gets considera- ble more than the 3 per week he earned wheN he started his career as clerk in shoe store.

ALEXANDER BEATS
 JOHNSON IN GREAT
 DUEL OF PITCHERS

Kansas City, Oct. 22-More than G,2Q0 Kansas City baseball fans, who have long wished to see Walter Jol,nson-Grover Cleveland Alexander duel, .brayed cold October wind and saw the two great righthanders in an exhibition game yesterday. And after a thrilling battle Alexander's team won by 4 to 8.
 For eight innings Johnson worked Ike machine He turned back Hornsby, Chase, Stengel and Carey ana up to the ninth had not allowed A runner to reach second. But in the ninth the National League players sent base hits flying to all corners. Alexander started the unexpected att tack with a single. Baird followed with single. Max Carey then came up and Johnson began to use all he had. Carey struck out, but Wheat let ho ball get away, the runners ad- yancing base, setting the stage for 5tenBei. who singled the two runs 1olne.
 Hornsby, who had struck out in his 5econd and third trips to the plate, followed Stengel's single with line hriveAwhich rolled into a hole, and Btengei and Hornsby reached home with the runs that won a ball game for Alexander's team.
 Iyntil the ninth the game was all in Johnson's favor. He had allowed only four hits. scattered through as many innings, while the American League players had hit Alexander for DiEht clean waliops.
 The contest was between National >11 Ana><ican Leagne players.

CRICKET WAS POPULAR
 SPORT OF THIS COUNTRY
 BEFORE BASEBALL CAME

Cricket may now be said to be the national athletic game of America, as well as of England. In America the introduction has been quite recent, but it is now the favorite outdoor game, both of town and country. It lasts from spring to autumn, though chiefly played i'll the latter season."
 The above was written by sport ing writer of 1855, when baseball was just a-borning. Professional cricket in America, which supplied the precedent and incentive to pro- fessional baseball, had it's beginning just seventy mine years ago today, Oct. 22, 1898, when picked clubs of New York and Brooklyn played a match in the latter city for s40O a side. This was the first cricket match for money ever pulled off in the Unit ed States, but within 20 years there were professional players in most of the large cities of the country. as well as in Canada.
 Many of the stars in the early days of baseball had been cricketers. Har- ry George and Sam Wright were all cricket cracks. Harry. who organ ized the Cincinnati Red Stockings as the first professional baseball club had previously played with and man. aged "pro" cricket teams, and in that game had learned the value of team work, which he applied to baseball. The Wrights continued to play -crick- ct as we'll as baseball and when the Boston and Philadelphia Athletic clubs visited England they played cricket as well as the diamond pas  in all their contests with the crack cricket clubs of England and Ire- land

the available material is below nor-
 nal.
 Dartmouth's football future sud- denly becomes brighter as the result of the impressive victory over West Virginia, touted as one of the most dangerous elevens in the South. Dart mouth won 6 to 2 through fast, we'll executed, old-fashfoned football tac- tics. Its light back field had so much speed that the heavy line of the monntaineers was ripped up badly. Fhis light, undeveloped line of Dart mouths has been the greatest prob lem thats Coach Spears had had to solve, and the manner in which it came through against the strong
 West Virginians is a source of much qualifications to the followers of the Hanover eleven. It is no slight task to stop ibackfeld which is made up
 of such players as Rodgers and liar r1s, and Saturdays triumph was quite a feather in Dartmouth's cap.
 The overwhelming football machine Glenn Warmer has built up at Pitts burgh continued on it's crushing way by beating Syracuse 28 to 0. Warner has again demonstrated that he is one of the best offensive coaches, and there will probably be no eleven this
 season which will be able to boast ot the scoring ability of Pittsburgh. Tn fMcLaren Pittsburgh has veteran full back who ranks with the best and Judging from Pittsburghs work up to the present time, there seems te but little difference between this years l team and the powerful elevens War ner has coached during the last two wears.
 The ambitious Boston College eleven coached by Charley Brickley, got g rude shock in Providence when it was defeated 2 to in one of the most
 gruelling clashes of the season
 Brown showed unexpected strength ir offstanding the fierce ruslies of the i Boston players. The only unfortunate feature of the contest was that Browr came through on top of the loss oi two promising backfeld players, Shaw and Albright.

SH0RI SCHEDULE ] ]
 CONSIDERED NOW
 BY BIG LEAGUES

New York. Oct. 22-For several years Ban Johnson has attempted to fnterest the National League in a ma iuF league schedule of 140 games. Of c0Hrze the two major leagues must work in harmony on the question. One could not afford to remain idle hfIe the other was operating.
 wei111ty consideration this winter, for # Is felt that war conditions may haz- ard the life of the sport. in view of existing high cost of operation. The shorter schedule would leave the way open to salary retrenchment through five months Qnstead of six) contracts. {. It also would enable most of the te&rns to do their spring training at
