 ! 'Jem quickly accepted the defi, be- ! ing wildly eager to fight again aftef many months of retirement. But when l time came to draw tip articles of 1 Jem was too old and too small (heing
 only feet Sis inches tall and weigh l ing 16S pounds) ,to battle With O'Bald- win. Finally it was decided that Mace would be permitted to name an 'un- 1 known to meet OfBa1dwin and that i the match between O Baldwin and the | unknown would be for the cham pionship and side bet of $2500. When
 the last stakes were posted, Mace named
 his man-Joe Wormald. who had ac- quired splendid reputation up to that
 time
 "A train was chartered to carry the fighters and their followers from Lon
 don to the secret battle ground in the
 suburbs. The police had orders to stop
 the fight and to arrest the principals. They turned out in force at the station. Wormald, Mace and the others eluded ! the officers and got aboard the train l in safety. But when O'Baldwn and | Iiatton arrived at the station in a hack, Hatton realized at once that if 1 lO'Baldwin got out to board the train, l ne WOulu Dc TeCOSHlEeu dl OiCe. ln l &his prediciment. Hatton ordered O'Baldwin to remain in the carriage until he (Hatton) had secuted around, ''Hatton after long delay, arranged With the railroad official to have lO'Baldwin slipped into a baggage car. ! Then he returned to tell OBaldwin about it. O'Baldwin was gone. The l fighter, figuring that Hattons long labsence probably meant that he had been captured by the police, decided to shift for himself. So he ordered the
 hackman to drive him to the next sta 1 ton. Then O'Baldwin got out and
 boarded regular train. Unfortunate- ] ly for O'Baldwin, the train he had taken did not stop a the battle ground station I So O'Baldwin was forced to travel to
 the station beyond which was a great i distance from the battle ground. s"When the special arrived at it's des- tination the ring was stretched and then the crowd waited for more than
 an hour for OBaldwin to appear But f he didn't. So Wormald's packers claim. I ed the stakes. The referee deliberatec
 long over the puzzling problem thar | lO'Baldwin's disappearance had 'proyok
 ed and then ruled:
 ! Under the articles of agreement have no alternative but to award the l stakes to Wormald. as to do otherwise
 would establish a dangerous precen. dent"
 l And that is how the fighter lost his
 side bet fight that he never fought
 and lost the probable chance of becom. ing the heavyweight champion .of tn,

plan of having the government use its owr machinery-through the boards-to distribute the numbers was then evolved and it brought the added advantage or
 making the list when finally published al, official one on which boards and res
 istrants could absolutely depend. At the
 same time it left the ordinary channels
 of news open as usuals
 Under the plan as perfected the Pro- vost marshal general's office will dis tribute the official complete master list of numbers to the district boards by mail as fast as they can be turned cut
 o, the government printing office.
 The boards will be instructed to give them out to newspapers and the public as fast as they receive them. News papers can make their own arrangements to get the lists from the board and the registrant can depend on the lists as lpublished in the newspapers, which will be few days after the drawing.

Both the Navy and Army squads have been practicing under competent coaches for sometime now, the num- Der of candidates averaging we'll over the 100 mark. No attempt has been made to curtail the schedules and all games will be played as planned, ex- cept where colleges engaged have
 dropped football. These open dates will be filled if opponents can be se- cured. This. however, is not a partic- uiarly easy task as both the Army and Navy have impressive elevens, well under construction and other institu- tfons are loath to send their teams against the Middies or Cadets unless fortified with powerful material

Coach Dobie has more than 100 players out every day, including many promising veterans. last seasons substitutes and flrst-year men for every position. The squad also contains number of fast and heavy players and this weight will be well come as the Middies eleven of 1917 was unusually light, making up in speed what it lacked in poundage.

TIGHT RACES CLOSE
 GRAND CIRCUIT ON
 COLUMBUS TRACK
Favorite Red Bon Proves Bitter Disappointment. Petrex Wins the 2:1S
 Trot Handily

Columbus. O.. September 27.-Colum- bus said fairwell today to the grand circuit races for 1918 when four class races were offered and every event went into split heats before winners were declared Perhaps the biggest hurt the talent received was when Red Bon. an easy winner last Saturday, failed to show at all and finished outside the money. He sold for S100 to $50 for the field and a hat full of tickets were sold on him at this ratio. Hank Stout won the race, with Moho and Allerton Heir the heat winners. Halderman was taken down from behind Allerton Heir in the fourth heat and c. A. Valentine substituted. He could not improve his position and MT. Halderman again was permitted to drive in the fifth heat. Omonde won the 2:17 pace after laying up the first heat. It was his second victory of the week.
 Petrex had no difficulty whatso- ever in landing the 2:1S trot, also her second victory of the present meeting.
 Favorite Baronwood, when four heats of the 2:13 pace had been raced, had but one. In semi-darkness. in accord ance with an agreement of all drivers, a fifth heat was paced and Baronwood won it easily. Then the race was de- clared finished Summarizes:

are also back on the gridron at Rut- gers and West Virginia. Rutgers is in much the same position as West Point, as Coach Foster Sanford has about 90 per cent of his last season eleven upon which to build for 1918. West Virginia is not quite so fortunate as some of the best players of a year ago have been lost through graduation and entry into the service The new candidates, however. are a promising group and indications point to team which will approach the high standard of 1917.
 Lehigh and Pennsylvania State have
 commenced practice with fair pros poets of winning teams. Nine veterans have already reported at South Beth lehem, while Pennsylvania State be- gan work with a squad of more than 30 players. The freshmen rule, barring hrst-year men from the varsity team, is still in force. which would appear to indicate that material for the team lis not lacking.
 Wesleyan and Washington and Jeffer- son candidates are drilling regularly and reports from the training quar- ters are to the effect that both in num-
 bers and physical attributes the men are fully up to the expectations of
 the coaches. Football work is sched- uled to commence at Cornell and Penn 1 sylvania within few days and if Princeton, Harvard and Yale decide to
