CHINESE QUARTERBACK
 AT RENSSELAER, POLY
Smiling Celestial Shows Gridiron Gen 1. eralship in Trial on Varsity Eleven.

Troy, N. Y, Oct. 15.-The "celes- tial smile" that is ''child-like and bland" never failed Pao-Shun Kwan, the only full-blooded Chinese quar- terback on a college eleven, as he was given his first opportunity to get into the game on the Rensselaer, Polytech- mic Institute eleven against New York University. Kwan is unusually fleet footed, uses his head in leading the team and is full of pep" every min ute that he has his football togs on. This rare specimen, g. real Chinese athlete, owes much to the training of his prep school days at Mercers- burg Academy in Pennsylvania, and last year made the quarterback posi- tion on the freshman eleven of Rem sselaer Poly. During the practice this week Kwan has been running the In stitute second team and undoubtedly will be given further opportunity to get into other college games before the end of the present season.

DAUBERT1 HOLDS WORLDS
 RECORD FOR PUToUTs
Hung Up . Record of N Putouts and
 Four Assists in Ono Game. $

What is believed to be a new world record for chances accepted in a sin gle game of ball was established by Daubert. the Brooklyn first baseman, when he had 27 putouts and four as- sists in the 22-inning battle with the Pirates. At least this is a latter-day record.
 In, the famous 24-inning tilt between the Athletics and the Red Sox at Bos- ton September 1. 1916, the longest game in major league history, none O. the first basemen even approached Daubert's record. Grimsham of Bos- ton had 20 putouts, and two assists. Davis and Schreck divided up the ini- tia1 bag labor for the Mackmen. Harry had 12 putouts. The two together thus were short of Daubert.
 It is probable that Pitler of the Pi- rates also hung up a new mark for second seekers when he took care of 15 putouts and four assists: total of 19 chances without error Only Dau- bert of the players in this game ex- ceeded him.
 One of the remarkable features of this battle was the good control shown by several of the pitchers. Jacobs walked only three men in 17 innings and Cheney but one in 13, Pittsburg had 22 men left on the bases. which

EAST ERIN CHAMPS MAY
 GO TO LIGHTHOUSE
Rumored That New Haven Business Man Will Manage Club Affairs.

Before next spring rolls around New Haven fans may see a big change in Eastern league baseball. While no final disposition of the New Haven fran chise has been made and nothing sure about arrangements for next season have been planned, there Is a scheme On foot to take Eastern league baseball to Lighthouse Ioint in 1918. It is re- his fill of baseball and is anxious to get out from iu under. He took over the New Haven franchise from the Cameron estate two years ago and financially Jim has made a flat failure
 The first season everything broke bad and besides losing plenty of money the club finished in sixth place with a most miserable showing. Last season pionship and still Owner Collins lost money. Losing money while winning a pennant has caused Mir. Collins to believe there is Eothir1s in baseball in this locolity and he is anxious to dispose of his holdings and retire from the national pastime.
 Rumor has it that a certain local business man will be interested in the New Haven club next season and that he has already practically decided up on his business manager, who is a man of baseball and business experi- cnce and one who will make good if there is such a thing as making good with Eastern league ball here.
 The man whose name Is connected with the club fol the next season. it is stated, desires to try out Lighthouse Point where Sunday games may be played. Several attempts have been made tho past two seasons to get Sun. day ball at Savin Rock, but certain element in West Haven blocks the deal every time and Sunday ball falls by the wayside. IL is figured that with Sunday ball a club in New Haven would pay and that a promoter might be able to knock out a summer live:1- hood. This is considered the only chance of making the sport pay around here. In case the man takes over the club and makes Lighthouse Point the home park, it is said that he desires the services of Danny Murphy as manager, owing to the fine showing Murphy made the past season with the club.

STANLEY kETcHEL HUNG UP
 ENVIABLE RECORD
Many Fighters Have Tried to Fill
 ketchePs Shoes But Failed,

Seven years ago this week a mad man. shot and killed one of the great est-if not the greatest-middlewe that ever lived. And that man was Stanley Ketchel. In the era since then a thousand battlers-and more have tried to fill his place. But each and every one has failed
 ketchel established a knockout rec crd that probably never will be beat en. He fought 55 battles during his career-and won A with sleep pro- ducing punches.
 He feared no living man. When he
 had cleared the 15S pound division Of
 foes, he went into the heavyweight class and took on big fellows as fast
 as they came. He fought Jack John
 son when the negro was at the abso-
 lute crest of his career. and Spotted"
 him nearly 50 pounds: For 10 rounds he gave the giant colored' man a furi- ous battle, but after that Johnson's
 battle-and Johnson won in the 18th.
 ketchel began his career in 1903 and won his only two fights that year with knockouts.
 In 1904 he fought one draw, lost two decision fights to Maurice Thompson and won the other nine with knockout wallops.
 In 1905 his fl ght fight was a knock cut triumph over Kid Thomas in ore round His second battle was a draw with Jack (Twin) Sullivan. And then ketchel cut loose. He fought 21 bat ties between May 2, 1905, and May 23 1907-and each resulted in a knockout victory for outs that seems to know no equal in modern pugi1ism

of names, with details as To their own

photographs in the packet, and he
studied them very carefully indeed.
But much most carefully of all he
examined Yasnini's portrait, returning

After many prickly-hot, intermlnable
jolting hours the train drew up at
Rawal-Pindi station. Instantly King
was on his feet with his tunic on, and
he was out on the blazing hot platform
before the trains motion had quite
ceased.
He began to walk up and down, not
elbowing but percolating through the
crowd, missing nothing worth noticing
in all the hot kaleidoscope and seeming
to find new amusement at every turn
1t was not in the least astonishing that
a well-dressed native should address
him presently, for he looked genial
enough to be asked to hold a baby
King himself did not seem surprised al

King, with his mouth full of curry,
did not answer, but his eyes smiled.
After lunch he was closeted with
the general again for twenty minutes.
Then one of the generals carriages
took him to the station; and 1t did not
appear TO trouble him at all that the
other occupant Of the carriage was the
Splf-same Major Hyde who had sat
next him at lunch. In fact, he smiled
50 pleasantly that Hyde grew exas-
pprated Neither of them spoke. At

SO when the world war broke the
world was destined to be surprised on
Inda's account. The Red sea, full or
racing transports crowded with dark-
skinned gentlemen, whose one prayer
was that the war might not be over
before they should have struck blow
for Britain, was the Indian army's an
swer to the press.
More than one nation was deeply
shocked by Indin's answer 10 "prac-
tices" that had extended over years.
But there were men in India who
learned TO love India long ago with
that love that casts out fear, who knew
exactly what was going to happen ana
could therefore afford to wait for or
ders instead Of running round in rings.
Athcstan King, for instance, moth
ing yet but captain unattached, sat
In meagerly furnished quarters with
his heels on n table. He Is not a
doctor, yet he read book on sur

club he carried the book under his
arm and continued to read II there.
In the other room where the telegraph
blanks were Uttered in confusion all
about the floor, the other officers sent
kilograms and forgot King, who sat
and smoked and read about surgery !;
and before he had nearly finished one

King was at Lahore, but miles don't
matter when the dogs OF war are

right place at the exact right time
then. and the fool goes to the wall. In
that one respect war Is better than
some kinds of peace.
