The local High School football team
lost their last game of the season last
Saturday, when they played the Leonia
High School team at Leonia. The
score was II to 0, and the Cliffsiders
played very poor game, the line
backfield going through them like pa
per, and when our boys were in pos
session of the ball the Leonia line
men. romped through the local line and
tackled the backs before they could
get started.
On Thanksgiving morning the Grant
wood Juniors travelled to Woodcliffe
and defeated the team of that town,
this being their fifth victory of the
season.
The Woodclffes outweighed the boys
from this town, but it was good play
ing of the Juniors that brought them
out in the lead. In the beginning Of
the game the Woodcliffes had Orneck,
Mazzei and Mars, three players who
play on the c. P H. S. eleven, and in
the fourth quarter they put in Schrie-
Der, former High School halfback
When Captain Coniston saw what the
Woodcliffers were doing, he put III.
Murray and c. Mahoney, two heavier
boys, in the Grantwood's lineup. An
other thing that showed the good play
ing of the Juniors was that they held
WOOdcliffe on the one-yard line for
down, and then they fumbled, and a
Junior player recovered it. The score
was 30 to 0.

The November meeting of the Wo-

and well attended at the home of Miss
Edith Toringer, Edgewater Heights.
President Benda was in the chair,
and the meeting began at an earlier
hour than the usual one. After some

 (Editor's Note: This is the twen- ty-second chapter of series of arti- cles which MT. Corbett is writing on John l.. As I Knew Him. It re- lates many heretofore unpublished incidents in the life of the great war rior. The next chapter will appear Monday.)
 The thought of meeting John Sullivan in battle for the heavy weight championship never entered my mind until a trif1e more than year before the contest was staged. John l.. had no greater admirer than my father. He regarded the mighty Bostonian as an unbeatable warrior. And through all the early part of my career as a boxer I shared that belief
 But Fate works strange pranks.
 Other chapters told how I first saw John l.. in San Francisco when l was r and, kidlike, trailed him through the streets for hours. That was in 1884. Two years later l saw him again and my reverence for him was increased by his quick and decisive victory over Paddy Ryan in the Cali fornia city.
 And then John l.. went East, leav- ing me disappointed because I had not been fortunate enough to be among those who shook his hand.
 Through 1886, 1887 and 1888 worked as few kids ever worked to perfect myself as a boxer. But the thought of becoming a champion some day never entered my mind un- til long afterward. I knew that to rise to the top I had to hurdle John L., and, like millions of others, I felt that Sullivan couldn't be beaten. But that didn't halt me in my efforts to become the best boxer that my abil ity would permit.
 It wasn't until 1889, when l whipped Joe Choynski in our hard fought Benecia Bay barge fight, that I decided to become professional My folks had other am bitions for me. They wanted me to stick to my job in the bank and become "A great banker some day" also had a cer- tain yearning of my own-to become an actor. I had made a fair success in amateur theatrica1s in San Fran cisco and many of my friends pre- dicted glowing future for me ir that profession.
 But the victory over the wonderful Chovn: k: convinced me that I ha6 with.r me the makings of succers. l ful ring warrior Boxing just tner l was emerging from the ban under which it had been placed in bare

BURNS MAY ENLIST.
Mack's New First Baseman Consider
 ing Going to France.

Philadelphia, March 16.-George Burns, the new first baseman ob- tained from New York and Detroit by the Philadelphia American League club, probably will not play for Con nie Mack this season. Instead he will go to France as member of hospital unit unless his application for enlistment is rejected. It is nec- essary for Burns, who is in the draft, to obtain transfer by his draft board
 This formality, the chairman stat ed yesterday, will be granted imme- diately if it is found that Burns will not be called soon. The loss of Burns will be severely felt by his team, as it leaves Mack without a first baseman.
 What effect Burns action will have on the transfer of Ping Bodie to the Yankees is problematical.

C0RBIN TEAM IN LEAD
Lockmakcrs and Machine Company Quintct,S Battle for Leadership in Factory League. Former Winning.

The tie for first place in the Factory Bowling league was broken last even ing, when the Corbin team defeated the New Britain Machine company quintet on the Aetna alleys. The Lockmakcrs won the opening game. and the Munitionmakers the second. The third and deciding game was a warm contest and went to the P. X r. crew by an 18pin margin. Long and Valentine did good work for the win ners, while CUsack, the famed rabbit hunter, of the Machine company, took the high score hOnOrS for the losers. In a special tWO-man match between Cage Richter and Hickey-Patrus, the former won an eight-game series with a total pinfall of 1,597 against 1851. The other contests of the evening were between teams in the Universal league. The scores:

RACE HORSE DROPS DEAD
Freeman, Six-Year-Old, Seizel With a HemoIThage During Race Rider Escapes Injury.

Hot Springs, Ark, March 16.- Just after turning off the bacI stretch in the first race at Oaklawr Park yesterday, Freeman, sky earl old son of Sir Huon-Merry Heart was seized with a hemorrhage~ and dropped dead. F. Stevens, who rodi him, was thrown heavily, but escaped with only a shaking up, and he rodj out his remaining engagements oI the day. Freeman was owned by WI C.

knuckle days and I knew that suc- cessful performer could make pig nioney-and make it quickly. 50 l became a professional boxer.
 I was fast and shifty in those days and was credited with introducing many new tricks into the ring. Those traits made mo talked about in my home town and several vic tories over some fairly good fighters of that era finally won for me chance to go six rounds With Jake Kilrain, who figured I was something of an over-rated 'lemon'' and that he would have an easy time beating me.
 But Kilrain got a rude awakening. Before I left for New Orleans to fight Kilrain on February IS, 1890 Jack Dempsey who had boxed with me and also had seen T<ilrain in action, made this prediction:
 'sKilrain never will lay a glove on Corbett."
 And Dempsey's prediction camo true.
 My victory over Kilrain was the means of giving to me my first na- tion-wide fame. The fans and writ CTS throughout the country decided that a youngster who could outpOi1t the man who had forced John T.. Sullivan into 76 rounds of fighting seven months before, had more than fair ability.
 It was some months later when my action in accepting a match with Peter Jackson surprised the sporting world. About ninety mine per cent. i of the fight enthusiasts throughou out the country figured l was a young fool" to try conclusions with the great negro. But by that time l had gained more than average confidence in my own ability and I figured that I had at least an even chance of | whipping the man that some had de- | cIared John l.. Sullivan was afraid | to meet.
 In January 1920, which was after | the Jackson match had been made
 I went to New Orleans again. The 1 surface purpose was to witness the 1 Jack DempSey-Bop F1tZslm m ons l fight on January 14. But the under 1 lying idea was to give me an excuse i to st0n over in Chicago where John
 l.. Sullivan was showing at the time. 1 I had a m ge for the champion and I felt the time was ripe to de- 1 liver 1t.

NEW HAVEN TURNS TRICK.

Hartford, March 16.-The New Ha ven High school basketball team defeated the Hartford High school five by the score of 23 to IS in a fast game here last evening. The teams were evenly matched and throughout the game either looked like a winner. With but 40 seconds left to play, and with the score 22 tc IS in favor of New Haven, Hart ford looked as though she would even the score, but a foul was called against them and they lost all chances of victory.

 The articles of agreement will not be signed until April I. and Col. Mill Ter declared that the principals would meet In secret and put their sigma lures to the documents.
 The place where the battle will be staged also will be selected on April ', and all other details arranged.
 The number of rounds to be con- rested will depend on the locality where the ring is pitched but the chances are the contest will take place in Oklahoma and will be linn tied to ten rounds, as that was the limit placed on a contest by Willard when he first announced he would meet Fulton or some other man for his title.
 Col. Miller made no reference to the amount of the receipts that Will iard expected for his services, which strengthens the belief that the bout will be staged as a speculative scheme bv the champion and his Oklahoma friends. Willard is on record with the assertion that no professional boxing promoter would have anything to do with any bouts in which he might engage in the future.
 As a guarantee of good faith, it was announced Miller and Collins each deposited checks for S1, ,000 with Edward w Cochrane of Kansas City.

LEONARD'S NEXT BATTLE
Will Be With Winner of Dundee Jackson Bout in New Haven on March g.

Jackson Bout in New Haven on
 March 25.
 Everything is i'll readiness for the big boxing attraction to be staged in the Arena, New Haven, a. week from next Monday night, when Johnny Dundee and Willie Jackson get to- gether for their much heralded bat tie. This bout stands out as the best ever attempted in that city and indi- cations are that a record crowd will go from this city to see hostilities.
 Dundee and Jackson have signed to box fifteen rounds to @ referees de- cision. They will weigh in at 133 pounds at o'clock on the day of the battle which furnishes satisfactory evidence that both are legitimate lightweights. Both are leading con tenders for the lightweight title and Benny Leonard will have to reckon with the winner of this battle when he starts to dispose of his most dan gerous rivals.
 Vincent Reina, who has staged many important bouts in New Haven, is responsible for this stellar attrac- ton. It took several months of dick ering before he managed to con- vince DOLl LuAnagefS that NeW Haven was the proper place to put on the bout. New Orleans and Milwaukee promoters tried hard to land the bout but Reina was the highest bid der. The boxers, it is reported have been guaranteed a sum close to five thousand dollars.
 The bout promises to produce ac- tion from kickoff to curfew. Jack son and Dundee have been bitter riv- als ever since the former scored a knockout in one round at Philadel- Dhia.
