SHIFTS AT CORNELL
 FOR MICHIGAN TILT

Ithaca, N. Y, Nov. 6--The Cornell football squad and coaches held a long conference yesterday over the game with Michigan to be played next Saturday at Ann Arbor. All of the varsity men reported in good shape except vanhorn, left halfback, whosa knee was thrown out in last Satur. days game with Tech, and who will not be able to play next Saturday Hartman, right tackle, will return to the game tomorrow. and Nethercutt, Pendleton and Ackerknecht, who were slightly injured last week, will also be fit to play. Tn place of vanhorn, pr. Sharpe said yesterday he would use Cross. who performed brilliantly last Satur day, and is one of the fastest backs seen here this year, although light.
 Realizing that Michigan has a heavy, powerful team, Dr. Sharpe will attempt to increase the weight and add to the brawn of his scrimmage line for the game with the Wolver- ines. Several changes will put more beef and endurance into lone that while fast, Is considered too light to face the wolverines.

ing would. I think, be exceedingly doubtful economy.
 Ground rent cannot be saved, as grounds are leased per annum.y Um- pire salaries cannot be saved, as they are based on a mutual agreement be- tween themselves and presidents of leagues. Players salaries maybe not be saved except by mutual agree ment between them and their em- ployers.
 When the 140 game schedule was in effect 1t was not uncommon for clubs to miss from one to six games. This was due to the fewer opportunf- ties to play. That is, if a team in a certain city happened to be rained upon 20 days it would have almost no chance to play out its full schedule. If that team happened to be a first division team the loss of these days would be keenly felt, and If 1t happen ed to be a second division team, 1t would have lost possible opportunity to make daily expenses or more, except players salaries.
 Tn the 154 gameschedu1e it has been the rule that almost all clubs have been able to play their full limit of games by reason of an added day and double-headers.
 With a 40 game schedule the games would be arranged on the basis of three, four and three. With a 154 game schedule they are arranged on the basis of four, four and three It may so happne that this added day will fall exactly right to the lot of a club making a, fight for the champion ship. If So the day is as good as a Saturday. If it does not so happen the day can hardly be worse than any other day of an unfortunnate season. The gamble to take this added day rather than to pass it by is worth so much that it seems extremely foolish to losa the very chance for which each cfub seeks.''

 CUBS TO CLASH

Princeton, Nov 6-The Princeton freshmen and the Harvard youngsters will play their annual contest here next Saturday and there Is a strong possibility that a. game will be arr ranged for the Tiger informal team.
 making the day the big football Sat- urday of the year for Princeton. The fall festivities which are usually held in the evening previous to the Yale or Harvard game in Princeton will be held on Friday night, and in addition to the crowd which this will attract it is thought that many visitors will be here to see the two club elevens clash.
 No announcement has been made as yet concerning the plans for the in formal varsity. There is a possibility that a game will be ,arranged with the Maine "Heavies,'' but in case this falls through some other military orga niza- tion may be engaged. Because today was one of the two afternoons re- served for drill the informal varsity did not hold any practice.
 Coach Bush spent most of his time with Fred Dawson, the freshman coach, attempting to correct some of the bad features which were much in evidence on Saturday when the Blair Academy eleven defeated the cubs. The 1s to ' victory for the prep school was somewhat unexpected, but 1t has served to remove any over-confidence on the part of the youngsters and put them on edge for the more important game this week. The Harvard fresh man contest is attracting more than usual attention. as there is no regu- larly organized varsity on which Princeton football followers may cen tre their interest.

CALLICAN TAXES
 FRISCH'S PLACE
 IN MAROON LINE

New York, Nov. 6.-The Fordham eleven will play it's hardest and most important game this afternoon with its ancient rival, Georgetown. at Fordham Field. The Southerners, af- ter being carefully primed for the fray by Coach Albert Exendine. are in fine fettle and are confident of adding another link to the chain of successes achieved over Fordham in recent years
 The Fordham players, minus their bdg gun, Frank Fsrish, are in a fight ing mood, and VOW that they will stop the mighty rushes of Gf1roy and McQuade, the offensive stars of the SoutherneTs. Crovat and Brennan will start in today's game, according to the lineup, which was announced last night by Coach AMcCaffery. After the game starts a number of changes probably wdll be made.
 Gallfgan, who played on the High School of Commerce team last sea- son, will play in Frish's position to- day. at right haafback. Golden will play centre. MoGrath will play right guard instead of F'ogarty. while Gu lick will take McGrHth's place at tao. k1e. These shifts have apparently lent strength to the Maroon front although the Fordham forwards have "a big task in view to stop the rushes of Gd1roy and McQuade.
 The Bronxmen have not defeated Georgetown since 1908, when Franl Gargan led the team, on which Coacl McCanery played right end, to a 22 te 10 victory.

Spur Sets Record in 
 Star Race
James Buffers Speedy Colt Breaks Track Mark In Fea- ture at Pimlico = Roamer, Pace Setter for First Mile, Out of Money.

Pimlico, Md, Nov. Gone of the greatest upsets of the meeting occur red yesterday when Andrew Miller's Roamer failed to get in the money in the Monumental Handicap, won by James Buffers Spur. MT. Miller s gelding had not only shown good form in his recent races, but had ruin a fast trial on Saturday in prepara- ton for the event With a field of , only six he was considered almost a certain winner. Only a few tickets were taken on Spur and Crimper.
 Roamer had all his speed at the start and cut out killing pace that resulted in 8 new track record for the, distance of a mile and three-six- teenths. The fast pace just suited Spur, who was kept far behind Roam CT in the early stages, with the light weighted Walnut Hall keeping the top-wefght busy. In the last quarter of mile Butwen called on Spur and the son of King James responded so that he was on even terms with Roamer in the last eighth. Roamer did his best to fight off defeat, but went to pieces in the last sixteenth. Spur had to be ridden out to finish to beat Walnut Hall, while Peak brought Hendrie up in time to take third place from Roamer. The time of 1858 4-5 clipped four-f1fths of a second from the old track mark
 The third race, at six fur1ongs, also resulted in surprise. Top O, tn Morning, after long rest, was warm ly supported. The great sprinter had plenty of early foot, but after leading his field untill well in the stretch weakened under his burden of 133 pounds and was beaten by P. Sheri- dams Back Bay. F. Ambrose Clark and Clifford Cochran. who have not been very successful this year, had a turn of luck in their favor. The former won the steeplechase with his imported Ally Pigeonsthorpe, while MT. Coch- ran's Nepperharn defeated a smart field of two-year-olds at six fur longs.

The sixteenth also went to the Ttai- ian champion. He used a rapid fire tattoo to the jaw and forced Burns to the ropes.
 The seventeenth round was even. Frankie came out of his trance in this session, and by landing several, good swings and jabs tc the champion's s face and bccy managed to divide the honors.
 Herrian earned the honors, in the eighteenth. He landed s.oore of blows to the face ,head, and kidneys, while Burnes's efforts to "wind'' the champion with blows to the stomach were in vain
 Herman was married here last night l to Miss Ann1 Leblanc of this city. The wedding lad been set for tomor- row, but Herman desired it to take place before the fight with Burns.

HURST BECAME CHAMP
 IN. HIS FIRST BATTLE

It was on Nov. 5, 1880. that Sam Hurst, the ''Stalybridge Infant. de-. feated Tom Paddock in five rounds at Newbury, England. This was the only time in ring history that fight Ter became champion as a result of his first battle. The t'Infant'' was an ab- solute novice at the game, while Pad dock was veteran. Hurts gigantic stature more than made up for the difference, and the fight lasted but a few minutes, the blow which put Paddock out, fracturing his two ribs. As this was, Hurst's first ring battle. go it was also his opponents iasA Paddock never fully recovered from the injuries he received, and died three years later At that time puei- lism was under the ban in England, and a select company of sports en- gagged a special train to take them to the country, without any definite knowledge where they were eosu4. The ring was pitched at several places along the line, but was broken up by he police. Finally a, secluded spot fS'lnd and the battle was staged

Today in Pugilistic Annals

1740-Jack Broughton, who was champion of England for eighteen years, issued his code of rules govern ing prizefights. By these rules. which governed all the matches held in Broughtons amphitheatre in Oxford Road, London, hitting an opponent when down, or on his knees, was pro hibited, and hitting below the waist also came under the ban. The rules provided that each round was to con tinue until one man was knocked down, and if he was unable to face his antagonist within thirty seconds after a fall he was considered beaten. This code continued in effect until 1888.
 1S86-Ike Weir defeated Martin Burns in six rounds at Boston.
 1908-Willie Lewis outpointed Jab- Der Carey in six rounds at New York.

 New York, Nov. 4, 1917. Sporting Editor, The Bridgeport Far mer:-
 Dear Sir What has become of that Billy De- Fpe-Young Rector match which was so much talked about on my last trip to Bridgeport?
  seeing that Young McAu1iffe could not be dragged into the same ring with team of horses against the Jerseyite, find that the only real l2S-so pound opponents for Rector in Bridgeport are Billy peFoe and Billy Hughes, with the odds favoring De- Foe as both a card, and also fighter. Rector is one of those unfortunate boys who weigh around 12s and i3O pounds and gre forced to go out of their class to get matches with light weights weighing 1855 to 14o pounds The last three fights Rector en- gagged in, with such classy boys as Leonard 1S5, Callahan 134 1-2, and Cline who probably weighed 1s7, and who did not weigh for Rector, stamp the little Skeeter as a good -un, and against boys of the type of I.eToe or Hughes, would rtaHy show him to ad- vantage.
 If Sammy Hollis is sincere in match ing DeFsoe with Rector, let him accept this def, and make the go a reality and I will guarantee that Rector will prove he is the erstwhile St. Paul l0boy's master.
 l As for Frankie Nelson; bring or your Charlie Pitts; here Is one boy who will gladly meet him or any other 1 boy in the State of Connecticut who will scale 1357-S pounds. l Here is a card for your local match makers to ponder oyer, and any one who saw Rector and Nelson at the recent show. will readily realize they will make 1t warm for those so-callet local champs.
 l Yours very truly,

The days of the boxing game in New York city are numbered, and the boxing promoters are trying to get in their best work between now and the time when they will have to migrate to other and more indulging climes. Several good bouts are carded in the big city for this week, and of these probably the greatest interest centers in the affair between those two ster- ing Irishmen, Jim Coffey and Bill Brennan. They will met at the Har- lem Sporting club Friday night. It will be Coffey's first fistic appearance in long time. The Roscommon jured paw which now promises to be good.
 While peruring story in a morning paper yesterday anent the possibility of Manager Krichell, of the Bridge port baseball club, being signed by Montreal. of the International league, we noted the following interesting Ht- tie item:
 "An attempt to, get into touch with President Ed. G. Barrow of the latter organization for more information on the report proved unsuccessful as the PROXY was out of New York city on business"
 It is earnestly to be hoped that the missing proxy" will be discovered before the next league meeting, that he may attend to any proxy which might possibly be placed in his hands to vote. Without proxy to vote a proxy or two, the meeting would be very dull and commonplace.

Talk Of Sports

Owning stock in major league club does not always mean that the golden harvest will just come pouring down like cloudburst. Several sharehold- CTS have found this out, and in at least three of these clubs shares are now on the market waiting for someone to pick them up.
 New York fans are placing strong hopes in Miller Huggins. As manager that team out of it's perrenial slump. He did lot for the St. Louis Cardi- nals and will have the enthusiastic support of the fans in New York. \
 That third major league bee keeps buzzing to beat the band. It Is ex- 'pected that the buzz will turn into bizz in the near future.
 Everything is military nowadays. Even the colleges are calling up their reserves to fill the gaps in the foot ball ranks.
 After hunting the pennant all sea- son quite a number of ball players have gone out with a gun on their shoulder hunting smaller game.
 Long Tom Hughes is out of the game for good. The veteran spent quite g. number, of years with the American league and his career came to an end recently when he was re- leased by the Salt Lake City club.
 Bill Donovan, who has been suc- ceded by Miller Huggins as manager of the New York Yankees. will very likely be engaged as scout. He is considered }one of the best judges of playing material in the national pas- time.
