ARMISTICE DOES NOT AFFECT ANY
 POLITICAL ACTS
Purely Military Arrange ments Between Command CTS Boundaries Left
 to Conference.

London. Monday, Sept. 30.---The convention with Bulgaria signed yes terday was a purely military arrange ment which was entered into on be- half of the Allies by Che French and other military commanders. No po- litical problems are dealt with and the questions of boundaries and other arrangements are left to the peace conference.
 There has been much discussion in the English pcesss. of ' the status of King Ferdinand. and suggestions have been made that he be derpsed. That matter also was outside the scope of the convention. The governments of the Allies take the view that accord ing to their principle of self-deter- imitation the question of who should be Bulgarias ruler, or titufar ruler, is a question for the Bulgarian people to decide, if such a question arises in Bulgaria. Thus, it is pointed out, the Allies have given @ practical applica- ton to- the5 5self-determinatiDn princi- pie at the first opportunity offered
 The armistice arranged yesterday remains in force until the final and general peace settlement. It consti- tuteS a complete military surrender by Bulgaria. She not only ceases to eb an enemy, but ceases to be a bel igerent
 Interest now is focused on Turkey.

RACING IS RESUMED
 ON FRENCH TRACKS

Paris, Oct. 1-The brilliant suc- cesses of the Allies in northern France are having due effect in the republic generally, with the result that the series of selected races which had been arrested in the spring will now be proceeded with in the autumn.

''BIG TEN" REVISE THEIR SCHEDULES
Cancel All October Games in Accordance With War
 Departments Rule.

Chicago, Oct. 1-Revision of foot ball schedules at colleges in the Big Ten Conference was begun today in accordance with the ruling of the War Department, which permits no games during the month of October where teams must be away from home over niFht. While it will be necessary to caAcel a number of the October games, 1t was said that there is a pos- sibility of Iengthening the season so that some of them may be played on Thanksgiving Day and the Satur- day following.
 In 1906 the faculty committee of the Big Ten Conference ordered the season to be closed on the Saturday preceding Thanksgiving, but as a war time measure it was said the decree might be rescinded to the extent of permitting some of the October games to be played after the season has officially ended. Any action of this kind, however would be subject to the approval of the War Depart ment, which now has control of ath- letics at all institutions in the con- ference.
 The new ruling of the War Depart ment will not affect the game sched- uled for November g between the University of Michigan and the Uni versity of Chicago, old time rivals, as two games are allowed in that month when teams may remain away from home from Friday to Sunday.
 Michigan and Chicago have not met on the gridiron since 1905, but foot ball followers declare that the rival ry which existed for many years has not diminished on account of the break of thirteen years in the rela- tions of the two schools.

RUGGED BOXERS ILL ON EVE OF BATTLE
Tuohey and Callahan Strick- en Before Scheduled Bout
 at Armory A. A.

Judged from the frequent postpone. ments of boxing bouts in Jersey clubs the gladiators in this vicinity are a delicate lot subject to sudden pros trations. Tommy Tuohey of Paterson, N. J., and Frankie Callahan of Brook lyn are outwardly two of the rugged est young men in the East. Tuohey Is red headed. freckled faced and com bative to the last degree. Callahan Is dark complextoned, with enough hair on his head to make a mattress, and he is full of vitality
 These two men were scheduled to box eight rounds last night at the Ar mory A. A., in Jersey City, and the patrons of the sport prepared for a bruising combat.
 At the eleventh hour Manager Jen- nings of the Armory club was notified that both of these robust athletes had suddenly been overcome by some in- tsidious complaint and could not ap- pear in the ring.
 The promoter declared off the con- tests and then considered the advisa- 5ility of changing the clubs name to | the Postponement A. c. He also shifted his bouts to. Thursday night, when this card of events will be pre- sented Tommy Toohey vs. Dave Me dar. eight rounds; Dummy Thomas vs, l Packey O'Gatti, eight rounds; three Jour round bouts.

BALL PLAYERS NOT WANTED.
A. E. F. Says It Has Plenty of Talent
 Without Visiting Stars.

A club of professional baseball play -5rs is not wanted by the And ican -7soldiers in France, according to an Leditorial in The Stars and Stripes, the A official organ of the American Expe- ditionary Forces. It has been sug- gested by some baseball men that two teams be sent to France to play ex- -oition games for the soldiers. . The Stars and Stripes says concern e ing the project, "The A. E. r. does not want a professional baseball team sent over from the States to play for it.
 'The A. E. F. recalls the recent difficulty between the big league mag mates and the Secretary of War, and rejoices in the prompt and righteous settlement thereof. With that deserv- ed rebuke to professional baseball fresh in it's mind, it could not accord any visiting all-American aggregation the cordial reception which, in hap .pier and calmer days to come, it may possibly hail with all the joy that it was wont to in the days that have
 gone.
 Not to mention the biggest argu-
 ment of all-that the A. E. r. has so much perfectly good talent within its
 own ranks. There is, for example, a
 tolerably fair battery in Hank Gowdy and Grover Cleveland Alexander, both in France-and both in khaki"

 Dobie used a first team baekfield, consisting of Butler. Avord, Roberts and Whelchel.
 Alvord is member of the new class and is doing good work. Another member of the new class who has made fine impression is King, 1S0 pound back. He is an Iowan. He played last year in Alabama with the Marion Military Institute. He is very strong and rugged and has an excel lent chance of making regular po- sition. Most of the flu" patients have rejoined the squad, though all are not in condition for the game as yet.

DOINQ5S in SPOR' 'IlLANDI
WAR STANDARDIZES
 COLLEGE FOOTBALL
Under Military Supervision All Elevens Will Be on an
 Equal Footing.

New York. Oct 1-The Eastern colleges will follow in the footsteps of the western institutions this week and revise their footbal schedules for m the Big Ten of the Western Con- ference began their revision yesterday and by the end of the week 1t Is ex- pected that they will have Saturday games scheduled with other colleges or service elevens which will not nec- essitate on overnight trip.
 It will be necessary in both the East and the West to cancel several contests, but there is a possibility that the season may be extended so that all the collges will nave games on Thanksgiving Day and on the Satur- day following. The ruling of the War Department allowing two-day trips after Nov. 1 will make it possible for several big games here in the east, but it is going to be a difficult task for the managers of the college teams to arrange contests at such short mo- tice.
 The War Department order, while it will practically reduce gridiron ac- ttvity to a minimum this month, will have the long desired effect of stand ardizing the game. It has never be- fore been possible to make all col leges train their elevens and play un- der like conditions. Under military supervision. this ideal way of con- ducting football has been made pos sible.
 Heretofore there have been innum- erable abuses of football training. Il was no uncommon thing a few sea sons ago for the more prosperous oi the big college elevens to assemble al Summer resorts in August, and by the time the football season opened, late in September. they were far advanced over their smaller rivals. Under the Student Army Training Corps al elevens will be on an equal footing and TO eleven will be able to get more training or practice than any other team.
 / The hour for recreation for the s A. T. c. will be universal in all the colleges, and by Nov. 1, when in al the student units will be pretty thor. oughly organized, the standard O. Football being played by the major tty of the elevens should be about or
 par. After Nov. 1, under the Wal Department ruling, all the importan ,Bames in the west will surely be play ed,- and many more will be played 1 here in the east than was possible I before the ruling.
 | It is expected that Harvard, Yale bnd Princeton will soon formulate Rleir schedules according to the mill hry scheme, and a three-corneret I pridiron plan will be followed, some V hing after the system under whicl the spring rowing season was arrang ed.

BIRTHDAY OF EDDIE HANLON,
 GREAT LITTLE R-CHANTPTON

Many great boxers have been de- prived by tough luck and bad man. agement of the championship crowns to which their qualifications entitled them, but the greatest near-champion of all was probably Eddie Hanlon, of San Francisco. This clever, scien- tific, durable and hard-hitting little boxer was born in San Francisco 33 years ago tomorrow, Oct. 2, 1885, and 1t was 10 years ago yesterday since his pugiistic career ended with a de- feat at the hands of Owen Horan in a 20-round bout in his home town, At 23, when he should have been at his fighting best, he was a has-been, the wreck of shattered hopes.
 Charles Walter Hanlon, to give him the name conferred upon him by his parents, came of Irish American stock. He was only a school boy, scarcely out of kneepants, when he entered the ring. Only a few days after his 18th birthday he fought that other famous native son, Abe Attell, but lost the decision. A little later he defeated Frankie Neil in two bat ties. At IT he fought Abe Attell again, and held that clever boxer to draw in fast and furious 2C-round contest. Within month he met Young Corbett, the featherweight champion, over the same distance, and held him to a draw. He then fought Benny Yanger, in two 20-round en- agreements, the first ending in a draw, and the second in a victory for the little Canlifornian.
 The San Francisco fans became Hanlon crazy, and no wonder, for Ed die apparently had everything that a boxer should have, and a little bit more. They saw in Hanlon the future lightweight champion of the world. He fought with crouch that made it almost impossible for the other fellow to reach him without leaving himself exposed to one of Eddie's terrible body blows. But the boy was rushed d too fast. He was only a kid, and the long battles with the stars of the game ! put too much of a strain on his vi
 tality. He fought Young Corbett 8 second time and lost In 1904 he knocked out Kid Broad, but was him. self put away by Battling Nelson and
 defeated by Terry McGovern. In 1903
 he came back and whipped Young Corbett and fought a draw with Au-
 relic Herrera, but lost to Kid Her
 man. In 1906 Dick Hyland knocked | him out in the hoodoo 18th, and two
 years later Moran put the finishing
 touches on Eddie's blasted ring ca l reer.

ANTHONY J. D. RIDDLE.

Anthony J. Drexle Riddle, the Phil adelphia millionaire and society man who has often startled the staid citi- zens of the Quaker City by preaching and practicing Christianity with a "punch," was born A years ago to- day, Oct. 1, 1874. The idea of pound- ing piety into youths with boxing gloves is not entirely original with the prominent Philadelphian, for Bendigo, Ben Hogan and other "converted pugilists'' have in the past sought to link the church and the prize ring, but MT. Riddle has been most success ful in spreading his novel project. The Philadelphia evangelist of athletic Christianity declares that religion with punch in it'' has been practiced ever since David had his famous bout with Goliath.
 MT. Riddle has had a busy career, aside from his devotion to religion and boxing. Born with a golden spoon in his mouth, he has dabbled in many arts and professions. In his youth he lived for some time in the Madeira Islands, and his two-volume work on conditions there won for him fellowship in the Royal Geographical Society of England. While still a boy he joined the. staff of Philadelphia paper, and afterward edited the Sun day Graphic and established a pub fishing house of his own: He has written stories, fairy books and 8 work on athletics. As a boxer, he has taken part in contests with "Philadelphia Jack O'Brien, Bot Fitzsimmons and other stars of the professional ring. It is as a preacher of muscular Christianity" however that MT. Bidhle gained his greatest fame.
