1.-THE BATTLE OF BRUGEs."

It was seventy-nine years ago to- day that Jem Smith, the last of the English heavyweights to hold the title under London prize ring rules defended his honors against Sydney Cornstalk, an Australian, known to the ring as Paddy Slavin. The, fight was pulled off at Bruges, Belgium
 and it was with bare knuckles, for s25oo a side and the British cham pionship, The big Australian had all the best of the argument, for Smith, although a good man, had become slow and muscle-bound. When it was seen that their man was doomed to defeat the packers of Smith rushed the ring, and Slavin was struck several times with. a club
 The referee called it a draw, four teen rounds having been fought, but eventually. after a scandal, that gave prizefighting it's knockout in England
 slavin. was awarded the title and the coin. He defended his honors against Peter Jackson, the great ne gro boxer, in a $1O,000 bout before the National Sporting Club in Lon don in 1892, and was knocked out.

AMERICAN LIGHTWEIGHT TITLE HAD ITS
 ORIGIN 59 YEARS AGO

Half century ago today Abe Hicken became the first recognized champion of American lightwe1ghts by defeating Pete McGuire, the scene of the great event being Perryville, Md. He turned the trick in five rounds and thereby gained immor- tality and a big share of the $2,OOO purse.
 The history of, the American light weight division from Hicken to Leon ard would make history Interesting reading but it would require several fat volumes to record what had talk en place since that memorable day in 1868. Hicken retired soon after his victory and Arthur Chambers and Billy Edwards claimed the title Chambers won by a trick and later defended his title against Johnny Clark. Charlie Morton, George Full james, a Canadian, and others. then held forth as claimants, until in 1884 Jack Dempsey, the "Nonpareil, be- came the recognized leader of the division. Jack soon outgrew the lightweight class and his friend, Jack McAuliffe, reigned in his stead as worlds champion from 1885 to 1894, when he retired undefeated. The great little George Lavigne, the Sag inaw Kid, was lightweight champion of America and the world until 1899, when Frank Erne of Buffalo, na- tive of Switzerland, annexed the honor. Joe Cans then came to the front, although for time Jimmy Rri+t disnuted his right to the light weight crown and it was not until 1903 that Battling Nelson, the Dane, took the crown from Joe's kinky dome. Eight years ago Ad Wolgast. the Michigan Wildcat, took the hon ors and in 1912 Willie Ritchie suc- ceeded to the lightweight throne, al though soon deprived of the worlds title by Freddie Welsh. The latter succumbed to Bennie Leonard, the present champion of the lightweights, and it looks as though Benny is good for quite some time to come.

JIMMY WILDE TO ARRIVE
 HERE IN APRIL FOR BOUTS

There was quite a hectic flush among the-slam and bang artists when it was reported Jimmy Wilde, the English marvel, was coming hith- CT. There will be more f1urries of ex- citement caused shortly, for the fistic shadow is due to arrive some time in April. This was discovered when a MT. Dwyer, who represents "Ted' Lewis, the veteran British impressario, called upon Jacques Curley, for the Loudon '"Ted" Lewis, after whom our welterweight champion derives his nom de guerre in the ring, handles Jimmy Wilde on the other side. Wish ing to get thorough idea of how the situation stands, he commissioned his representative to call upon Mons. Jacques Curley.
 The outcome of the visit was that tentative arrangements were made whereby Jacques will take care of Jimmy on this side of the globe To make it Wilde's worth while to sail me bounding blue, Jacques made nlm a flat offer of $10,000, with an extra | $1 900 for travelling expenses for his | first appearance.
 This proffer was made, and practic- ally accepted, after the boxing situa- tion in this country was thoroughly explained to Dwyer. If Lewis con- cludes to the arrangements, Wilde will start to pack. In this his first engage ment, the English toothpick will not be asked to go over the Marathon | route. A match probably will be arranged for ten rounds with some worthy rival Frankie Burns, at present, seems tc

Team of Cast-Offs
 May Win Flag for
 Tanks Next Season

A good omen that the Yankees will win the pennant next year is the fact that many of their players were members of other American League teams before becoming associated with the payroll of Colonel Ruppert
 In. 1915 Pat Moran presented the fans of Philadelphia with their first National League flag, the deposed manager being aided in his achieve ment by number of players gather ed from other teams.
 On the Phillies that year were: Fred Luderus, formerly of the Cubs; Bert Niehoff and Dode Paskert, for merly of the Reds; Milton Stock and Al Demaree, formerly of the Giants George Whitted, formerly of the Braves, and "Gavy" Cravath, former ly of the White Sox and Senators.
 Last year Edward Barrow won the American League team and world $ championship with the following players: Joe Bush, Amos Strunk. Wallie Shang and "Stuffy" McInnis, formerly of the Athletics. Dave Shean, formerly of the Reds; Fred Thomas and Sam Jones, formerly of the Indians; Sam Agnew, formerly of the Browns. and George ,Whiteman, formerly of the Yankees
 On the Yankees next season these players will appear: "Dutch" Leonard, Ernie Shore and Duff, Lewis, formerly of the Red Sox; Bos Shawkey Frank Baker and Pins Bodie, formerly of the Athletics George Mogridge, formerly of the White Sox: Roger Peckinpaugh, for merly of the Indians Wany Pipp formerly of the Tigers; Del Pratt an( Armando Marsans, formerly of tht Browns and Pete Schneider, formerly of the Reds.

SOME WALLOP.
By Wm. A. Phelon.

By Wm. A. FnelOu. The score stood three to nothing, and Won Hndenburg's fast curves Had set the batters down on strikes and chilled the sluggers' curves Old Von had speed and great com mand-he wouldn't give q pass His whizing shoots and sudakp drops were full of steam and His inf1eld wobbled in ths ninth they gave him bad support But with three runners on the sacks old Won still held the fort! Two men struck out against his skill he hummed his Hymn of Hate, Then snickered as substitute came slowly to the plate
 "America-pinch hitting now!" the umpire shouted loud
 And a great, worried silence fell upon the throbbing crowd
 "Ach, vot a mark" laughed Hln- denburg, and shot a fast one in The batsman watched it sizzling by with a sarcastic grin! Another came-right through the groove-the hitter swung his ash And all the great palion rang, and echoed to the crash!
 In vain the German f1elders ran they stumbled, ripped, and reeled That mighty hit was sailing on, and passed down center field! And while the wild applause was heard from Washington to Rome, France, Italy, and England and America slid home!

BOTH HIGH SCHOOL.
 TEAMS WIN AGAIN
Local Girls Team Defeats Norwalk While Boys Are
 Beating New Britain.
By Right Forward.

Both High School basketball teams again registered victories Saturday when the Boys team defeated New Britain by the score of 42 to 12, and the Girls team won from the Nor walk High school girls by the score of 19 to T"
 The Boys team put up a fine game, their speedy passing and accurate shooting often brought large amount of applause from the crowd present. Captain Miacco put up fine game for the locals as did Murphy, the locals fast center.
 Hickey playing at guard was also a feature of the game and many times his splendid work broke up many a play for the lads from New Britain.
 The local girls had to exert them selves a little in NorwaIk to have the NorwaIk girls come out second best as the upstaters put up a good game and were a hard combination to beat.
 The Misses Allen and Liebrum played good games for the locals while Miss Skidd was the shining star on the Norwalk team.

hold the centre of the stage, for he is one of the bestd rawing cards in the country. And to give Wilde this big sum a real big bout is absolutely nec- essary.
 If Wilde lives up to the laudable things written about him, then Jacques Curley will start in to arrange a scrap with Pete Herman, the ban tam champion. That Is the target the Englishman is aiming at, and an inter- national event is bound to be finan cial success.
 One remarkable characteristic of Wilde is that weight cuts little figure with him. Seldom does he top the beam over 100 pounds, and giving away an extra five or ten pounds brings out nQS holler. In most of his battles his opponents always were fa- vored by poundage. The little skewer figures his astonishing punches make everything even. And 1t seems he's right. It would be peculiar coinci- dence if Wilde met Burns and lost to the latter. Frankie took on Digger Stanley when the latter paid us a visit And this was after Johnny Con- Ion side-stepped the Britisher.
 Burns showed Stanley up in start ling manner. The boy from Skeeter Land beat the visitor all the way. This annoyed Stanley so much that he lost his head and started fouling tactics Burns let him get away with the rough stuff for a minute or so and then re- paid the Digger with interest. Frank ie really blasted the Digger's fond hopes. and possibly he may repeat ] with Wilde. That we'll discover when they meet.

FRANK SHEA
 OUT OF NAVY
 TO RUN AGAIN

Frank Shea of the University of Pittsburgh, intercollegiate quarter mile champion, who left Pittsburgh to enlist in the naval aviation service, has been discharged from the navy and will return to college at the De- ginning of the winter semester Sheas was at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and had completed his preliminary courses when the armls- ttce was signed.
 Shea lost no time in announcing his intention to return to college. He has only another year at Pitt and
 wants to accomplish two things in the athletic world. He wants to win the quarter-mile title again and he wants to smash Ted Meredih's world record for the distance.
 Last year Shea won the quarte; with ease in AT 3-5 seconds. He was out fully 25 yards in front of his field, i! with no one to push him. When Mer- 1 edith hung up his AT 3-5 he was car , ried along Cat a whirlwind pace ty i Wiloox of Harvard Had he met with anything like spirited competition it is possible that the Pitt Celt would i have clipped fraction off the record. gIe was strong and full of running at i the end.
 Shea performed some wonderful
 feats on the track last season. In the EPenn relay games he practically raced ] Pitt(to two titles in the Class B race and the one-mile championship. In { both races he was called upon to make up more than 20 yards on a : field that was off to a flying start. He did It with ease.
 ! In the class B race he ran his quar- { ter in 49 2-5, and in the open cham pionship he was checked in AS S-5. His running was thing of beauty and a i source of wonderment to the specta- tors. At. the start his task seemed 1 hopeless, but Shea Is of the type that
 dotes on hopeless cases. He simply
 opened up and went after the bunch,
 and in a twinkling of an eye had
 them.
 Shea declares navy life has not
 dimmeG his speed whit. In a trial
 spin indoors at Boston he did fairly
 close to 51 seconds, which isgburning
 up the boards a bit. He declares, that
 he is stronger than ever, and if this
 be true, Father Time had better make
 ready for a new jol In the service
 game Shea won the dashes and the
 quarter, and then moped off with the
 broad jump at odd intervals.

SPORT CHATTER

Having closed what he regards the best deal of his career, Miller Hug gins, the Yankee manager, returned to his home in Cincinatti yesterday to stay over the holidays. Huggins says Shore and Lewis, both of whom aee in the navy will be available to the Yan- kees next season. He said that several days before the deal was completed Shore denied to the Boston officials that he said he would spend a year at sea after getting his commission. Hug gins said that Shore will get his dis charge before the opening of next season.
 Huggins is not yet through trading. He is still after one or possibly two .outfielders. He feels he has some available trading material left. Ray Fisher, recently discharged from the army, may be put on the trading block. Having added Shore, Schneider and Quinn to his right-handed pitch CTS since last fall, and as Miller also has been assured of the return of Shawkey, he figures Fisher can be spared. Fisher always has been high salaried man on the Yankees, and as he has been with the Yankees during his entire major league career a change of scene mayldo him good.
 Tommy Schorndorf, the former star pitcher of the St. Mary's baseball team who left with the last contin- gent for Camp Greenleaf, is back home again. Tommy wasn't over a month in the service when he was mustered out.
 The speedy Yonkers, IN. Y, High school five, which has won six straight games this season, will be the opponents of the Bridgeport High school five in the local gym on Saturday afternoon. It will be one of the best games of the season and all of the local High school alumni who will be back for the YuIetide vacation will be present in large numbers to see it.
 Coach Fred A. Hunt of the local team, will have his boys in tip tor shape for big argument. This years team Is one of the best that ever represented Bridgeport High The coach says every player is at top form and he looks to see the five have very successful season.

Truth of the axiom that ''base- ball follows the flag" is illustrated by the receipt recently by Clark Griffith of communication from Capt. Arthur B. Goodwin, 46th Engineers, to the effect that a game was played November IS within the confines of what for merly was Kaiser Wilhclm's en- pire. He wrote: "Just line on a German sealed post card to wish you a merry Christmas and hap py New Year. The boys of my command will ever remember your kind efforts in their behalf.
