sTONINGION

There was a head-en collision at the Stontngton railway station early We'd nesday evening, two locomotives com- ing together on the westbound track. but without injury to persons, and not extensive damage to rolling stock A switch engine which had heen engaged on the shipyard spur track came out on the main line, within the yard lim- it's, and came to a standstill near the tower. Just then an eastaound freight train came along with two locomotives. one at the head of the train and the other at the tail end, serving as IL ''pusher"
 Just as soon as the engineer of the head locomotive saw the obstacle the brakes were reversed, but the pusher worked harder than ever, and the col hslon resulted, before it was possible to bring the freight train to a stand still. The engineer, fireman and train man in the head locomotive jumped just before the collision and escaped injury except the engineer, whose left knee was somewhat sprained.
 The pony wheels of the eastbound engine left the rails, but the rest of the train and the light engine remain ed intact. Steam pipes were smashed on the locomotive of the freight train and another was substituted before the train proceeded. The forward end of the light engine was damaged, The Wrecking crew from Midway cleare the way within an hour. While the work was on eastbound trains were run on the westbound track from Ston- ington to Westerly.

PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL NEXT SEASON

Chicago, Dec. 4.-The positive an- nouncement that professional base bail would be resumed in the major leagues next season, with government sanction, was made by. President Ban Johnson of the American league to- night.
 President Johnson's announcement was made after he had received a let ter from General March. chief of staff of the army, who advised that the war department, under present conditions, could see no reason why the game should not be resumed.
 "The war department closed base ball last September, by declaring it non-essential, and it was only proper that the department should be con- suited in regard to our plans for re- opening" President Johnson said. Consequently put the entire situa- ton before General March for his ap- proval"
 President Johnson said that the stars of baseball who joined the ser vice, among them Ty Cobb, Pitcher Alexander, Benny Kauff Hank Cow dy and others. probably would be among the first to receive their dis charge, so they would be able to join their clubs on the spring training trips. Cobb is captain i'll a chemi- cal division now in France. Definite plans for the resumption of the game will be made at the annual meetings of the major leagues this month. The National League will hold its sessions in New York On Decem- Der 10. and the American league prob ably will convene in Chicago two days later.
 President Johnson said he did nct believe there would be a joint session of the two leagues, although the Ma tional League had requested it. Com mittees from the two organizations together with committee from the National Association of Minor Leagues probably will meet soon after the ses- sions of the major leagues to settle q number of questions of policy con l fronting them.

WILLARD SOON TO RETIRE
 MAY GIVE TITLE TO DEMPSEY

Wichita Falls, Texas, Dec. 4.-In- timate friends of Jess Willard, who has been maintaining his headquarters here, stated today, the heavyweight champion of the world might soon an nounce his permanent retirement from the ring Willard has thus far de clined to discuss his intentions, but it is stated by his associates he has for some time intended to abandon the title and he has prac- tically made up his mind not to appear professionally again.
 It is no secret Willard is in no condition to fight. He has been doing little exercising in recent months, and return to the roped arena in proper form would be practically impossible. Prior to F'ulton's knockout at the hands of Jack Dempsey the champion did entertain serious intentions of re- entering the ring, but when the plasterer fell before Jack, the Giant killer" the champion decid- ed to quit the ring.
 That Jess. Willard is planning to retire from the ring and turn his title over to Jack Dempsey of Utah was known in advices received in New York, from associates oi 
 Wichita Falls. Boxing authorities including Frank O'Neill, Former box | inS commissioner, and disinterested persons among the leading promoters and managers, assert that any trans fer of the title by Willard to Demp- sey would be met with a nationwide howl from boxing fans.
 1 The idea of handing over' any 1 title has always been scorned 1T the world of sports, the fans per haps believing in the non -existenct of divine or "regar' power. While Dempsey has without doubt meriteG some consideration for the title, it ii unanimously expressed that he has nc more call to the title than half dog. en others, and if Willard is at las going to abandon the title which ht has been so unwilling to defend, i should settle upon no one until finall! won in a series of matches.

 Capt Combies' quartette won it's match, two games oilt of three, Oil Wednesday night at the Elks' home when the first match of the Elks duck pin tourney was rolled, defeating Capt. Lucyls team in hard Nought match in which the result was in doubt al most to the last ball. The winners put down a total pinfall of 1045 to 1927 for the losers
 Each team had a game when they started the third and deciding game of the match and for a time it looked as if Capt. Lucy's team was going to win out when Carberry and Lucy es- tablished a good lead on their respec-, tive opponents early in the game. Car berry's strike and two spares by Lucy made the prospects look good for their side, but Somers on the ether team | came along with a strike and Biclel- haup sandwiched. in a spare or two that swung the balance back again to their side, especially as Carney and | Fitzgerald went off form and fell be- 1 low 80 apiece. Counihan also made his highest score of the night in this game and assisted in bringing home i the bacon.

question will confront the boys fa- voring basketball, though, and that is where the games will be played.
 The present gymnasium at Holy Cross is not large enough to stage a regular intercollegiate basketball game. The equipment would greatly hinder with the play. The gymnasi- ums would be plenty large enough, though, to practice in, and as some of the boys have already suggested, the games could be played in Mechanics Hall.
 The expense of hiring Mechanics Hall would be great but this can be easily met by the funds taken in at the gate. A large crowd of basket ball fans in Worcester are eager to see Holy Cross organize a basketball quintet this winter.
