CHALLENGES POUR IN
 TO CHAMPION o'DOWD
Arena A. C. of Boston Wants Title Holder to Meet Pittsburgher-
 Britton on Mikes Trail.

Brttton on Mikes Trail.
 New York, Nov. 19.-Although Mike O'Dowd, the new middleweight cham pion, has been deluged with offers for title bouts from all parts of the coun- try, his manager, Paddy Mullins, has not as yet accepted any of the propo- sitions.
 The most persistent challenger is Harry Greb, the Pittsburgh. middle weight, who has accepted an offer of good purse from the Arena A. c. of Boston for a bout with O'Dowd on November 27. Greb and O'Dowd were matched three years ago, but Greb injured an arm in a bout with Kid Graves and had to declare off the meeting with O'Dowd.
 Mullins says he will give due con- sideration to all the propositions and that, as O'Dowd is not afraid to de- fend his title against anyone in the class, Greb will probably get chance.
 Jack Britton, former welter cham pion is also among those who express a desire to box the new champion. Britton got a referees decision over O'Dowd in a twelve-round bout in Boston some months ago and thinks he can repeat.

Game in Large Numbers Despite
 War-Games Attract Good Crowds.
 London, Nov. 19.-1n spite of the war, sports in England during the last summer have enjoyed the best sea- son since the great conflict began. Baseball proved the leading drawing card. From small crowds of 1000 or SO the attendance grew to as much as 15,O0O.
 A competition arranged on the knockout principle among the over seas military forces of Canada in the British Isles attracted 101 entries, the final game being recently decided in London between the two survivors, the Epson Canadian Convalescent hos pital nine and the 19Sth Battalion Canadian Buffs) from Witley. Ep- som won by runs to 1, due to some wonderful pitching by Sergeant Doyle The game was followed with intense enthusiasm by a large and noisy 1 crowd.
 l Next season baseball will doubtless carry everything before it, as the pres ence of the American boys will give ! a decided impetus to the strong foun- datlOn lalQ Dy the Ndld0ldnS OurlnS the last three years.
 1 Cricket has been largely played all over the country, but fhe absence ot any competitions in the South of Eng ! land drove the star players to the 1 North, where the leagues arranged ill [ Yorkshire and Lancashire attracted a lot of attention. Golf has suffered more than any other sport, several ot the prominent players being on ac' I tive service.

VENTRES BEATEN BY
 NORWEGIAN CHAMP
Berlin Grappler Loses First Match of Career-Raymond Wins ss (

After going along smoothly for sev- eral years winning from wrestlers and embryo grapplers, Alvah ventres of Berlin tasted the pill of defeat for the first time in his career Saturday evening on the mat in Turner hall, when in a finish match with Alfred Peterson, champion of Norway, the Berlin Blacksmith" was downOd twice by his heavier opponent after putting up a brilliant battle in tho face of heavy odds. Although de- feated. Ventres lost none of his prcs- tige, and there are many who b. lieve that with Peterson weighing anything near his opponents weight. the result would be different.
 The matrh started in whirlwind manner, with both men hustling mat ters. After 15 minutes and 50 sec oEds, Vent"'s secured a full nelson and leg hold and Peterson was slowly pinned to tho mat. The crowd gave the Berlin boy mighty cheer. After a five minutes rest. the performers appeared on tho mat, with Peterson looking refreshed. For Il minutes the grapplers tusged and pulled, and Ventres managed to escape from somN dangerous holds, but finally Peterson worked a double headlock and jack. knife on the legs, and Vehtres shoulders were put to the mat in n minutes. 20 seconds. #-' The Berlin boy went right after his opponent in businesslikc fashion l when the bout WAS resumed ~o,. a time he worried Petercor 'e, recuperative power of the Norwegian | F,,I . i full nelson and jackknife hold he managed to down the Berlin boy in 22 minutes 10 seconds for the decid- ing fall.
 Tiger" Kent of Hartford, who w1s billed to meet Jack Raymond of Boston, failed to put in an appear ance, and Harry Mamas of Hartford
 was substituted. The Capitol city boy
 agreed to meet the Bostonfan in a
 thirty minute match. The match wl1ilc
 it lasted, was 8 dirty affair with Mamas provoking whatever bad feel
 ing cropped out of tho match. He is
 evidently not one of the followers ot the beefless day movements, as was
 shown when he bit a portion of his opponents finger off. This seemed to
 enrage Raymond, who is noted In this
 city for his clean method of Erapplihg,
 and securing a body scissors lon
 Mamas, he forced the latter to quit in 1S minutes.
 For the remaining 12 minutes tho
 grapplers worked hard but no faNs
 were registered. At the conclusion of
 the match, Mamas issued a challenge 4 to meet Raymond in a finish match ], for a $500 side bet. and the latter promptly accepted the challenge, the
 bout to be staged in four weeks. Ven- tres also issued challenge to Peter-
 son for a return match for side
 bet, providing the Norwegian would make 158 pounds.
 In the preliminary match, Patsy Mccarthy of New Haven downed Alex George of this city twice, the first fail coming in 12:3O minutes with a body hold and the second in minutes wit, a headlock and body hold.

Straight football resulted in 8 touchdown, and Mckay booted the pigskin through the up- rights for a goal, tying the score. The first half ended with the score tie. At the commencement of the third period, Koplowitz handled forward pass in fine fashion and ran to the twenty-yard line. A few plunges at the line and skirting of the ends by "Yump" Johnson and Perrin resulted in a touchdown. Mckay again booted the ball for goal. Meriden received the ball on the kick of. and after be- ing held for three downs without gain, a trick play was pulled off, and a MNriden halfback dashed fifty yards to near the goal line.

 It was of course the purpose that Washington should remain in supreme command and Rochambeauwas loyalty anxious to serve under him. The king of France gave congress had not given him scongress hadn't given him so that question could remain of the supreme command Washington commanded the American troops by reason of his commission from congress and he commanded the French troops under his commission from the king of Trance.
 Nocommander was ever served more loyalty than was Washington by Rochambeau and the French troops under him. These are facts which is well to recall at this tme when after lapse of 135 years, the United States and France are once more in military alliance American troops will shortly be serving with equal loyalty under French commander, and with equal valor-Seatte F. l.

OUR NEIGHBOR.

Alaska has interest in the revolution in Russia than any other section of the United States Russia IS our neghbOr and is country with which especially the Second Division has had intimate dealings. Across the sea few days sail are gold mnes coal bedS and mineral resources which so far have been rghfuy exploit ed Anadr has the finest harbor in the north and the streams of Anadr all aurferOus. What has delayed the settlement of that section of Siberia has been the red tape of CzardOm.
 Likely as not that will all be removed, and in the removal can safely assert that the next big stampede will be to Siberia.
 Siberia is land of mystery but there havebeenNOme ties who ventured there and who returned with gold dust fciadOm have tended to exclude all foreigners from visit ing Siberia but if the revolt burns up quantity of red epe it will throw open an immense amount of frontier land to the wanderuStfu mushers of the north and there will be big exodus across the Boring Sea.
 It will forward the development of the country on both sides of the unmagnaby and permit another chance to the many who have been watching the last iron tier being seized by the pnderbund to their total cluSiOn.
 It is not hard to realize therefore, that the mo- mentous events which have ranspired in PetrOgrad will have effect which will reverberate around the world especially for Nome have those stirring episodes in the Russian Empire great significance. It opens up fields for the prOspectOr and an immense amount of free land to the settler
 This may all take some time but in breathing spell conditions the Boring Sea will be such that may expect no small exodus from Alaska or from the States of former Aaskans to the Siberian land that time ago many of them cast cOvetOuS eyes enough upOnNOme Worker.

MARSHAL OF FRANCE.

In welcoming Marshal Joffre to the United States many newspapers have stated that he is the first officer of this rank in the French army to have been in the United States The Philadelphia Inquirer corrects this statement and calls attention to the fact that George Washington, while commandern-chief of the revolution ary army, was formally created marshal of France by Louis XVI.
 The conferring of this title upon Gen. Washington necessary matter of military etiquette under the circumstances of the time. The French king had sent an army uder command of Rochambeau to cooperate with the American troops in the ed the services of which
