10 miles, capturing the villages of
Escaufourt. ST. BONN and St. Soup

onerS.
J The territory over which Amer
lean troops are now storming is
described in official dispatches
reaching here today as the most
difficult for such an advance, Of
any battle line in France. The des-
perate efforts being made by the
German staff to check the Ameri-
cans is attested by the appearance
of fresh divisions every day.
On one occasion an attack hardly
had been launched when 200 Ger
mans marched forward in a body
from the Kremhild line with arms
appraised crying "kamerad." The
Americans on promptly taking them
in informed them that Germany had
asked for an armistice at which the
Germans became hilarious with joy.
Later when fresh German prison
ers arrived at the cage those who
had preceded jeered the new ar
rivals. saying:
You asked to be taken out of the
fighting and the Americans have
taken you out"

Haig Warns British Soldiers
Of Danger of Peace Drive

London, Oct. 12.-(Via Mont
reaD-Field Marshal Haig on Octo-
Der issued an army order calling
attention of his officers and men to
the circulation of false rumors to
the effect that peace was at hand,
with the evident object of dis
couraging the troops and diverting
them from the great task of over
throwing their enemies.
Field Marshal Haig urged the
troops to realize now more than
ever that it was necessary to con-
centrate their energies on the great
goal all hoped for, namely, the at
tainment in the near future of a de-
cisive and happy result.

Cornell Five Will
Not Be q Member
Of College League

Tentative schedules of the Intercol-
legiatc Basketball League are to be
ready within a day or two, according to
reports from Ralph Morgan, secretary
of the league, but final action upon
the adoption of the list Of games prob
ably will be deferred until after the
meeting of the National Collegiate
Athletic Association on December ~.
1t is understood that the tentative
list will disregard the recommendation
made at the meeting Of the league last
week and set a date for the first games
early in February instead Of i'll the
middle of January. This will make It
possible for Columbia and Pennsy-
vania, which have not begun real prac-
tce, to whip teams together in Janu-
ary.
Princeton has had fairly large
squad at practice for more than a
week, but little has been done at Yale
and ii is probable that the Blue Will
align itself with Columbia and Penn
sylvania in suggesting that later start
be made.
Word has been received from Cor
nell that there was little prospect OF
the Ithacans organizing a team for in
tcrcoileGiate games until after the hrs
of February, and, furthermore, tha
! conditions were such as to make it ex
| tremely doubtful whether the fiv'
would be able to make any trips a:
far away as New York, New Haven
! Princeton and Pennsylvania because @
! the expense involved.

Boxing News and Notes
BY FRED HAWTHORNE

The next day Jack took taxi to the
depot and rolled away to his home in
the West, and grew more famous and
acquired a new manager, one Jack
Reddy.
John the Barber, grieved awhile over
the pertidy of man, and then he went to
court and started bathing with the
Law Horrible, as Hype, the IKE tid-
dler, calls it. John chased Jack all
over the States, but every time, just
when jack seemed to be caught in
Johns net, he slipped out again, but
the man-hunter never gave up and yes
terday Jack slipped on banana peel
dropped by John and landed where he
sat.
The tangle came up again before
Justice Giegerch in the Supreme Court
yesterday on motion of Dempsey's
to have Reisler's complaint dismissed
granted Jacks plea for permission tt
file an answer within twenty days OF
payment of $40 costs. The court rulec
that the contract between John aA'
Jack was legal one. It's Jacks mo-

A. A. II. Refuses
To Reinstate
f. MastersOn
Former N. Y. A. C.. Runner
Ruled a Professional by
Registration Committee
BY A. G. Cavagnaro

Frank Masterson, the one time Mo-
hawk and New York Athletic Club dis
tance runner, was denied reinstatement
as an amateur in the Metropolitan As
sociation of the A. A. u. by the regis
tration committee at q special meeting
last night. The committee ruled that
Masterson was professional in that
he received a monthly salary while
coaching the track and field team of the
Swedish American Athletic Club, OF
Brooklyn.
The convicting evidence was brought
to the committee through an investiga-
ton conducted by Alexander AFRO, a
member of the registration body. In
looking over the books Of the Swedish
organization Arc, in his report, stated
that Masterson officially became coach
for the club on September 10, 1915, and
continued in this capacity until Feb
ruary 10, 1917, when he resigned. Dur
ing this period he received small
monthly salary.
| Accompanying his application for re-
instatement Masterson submitted an al
legged affidavit concerning his connec-
tons with the Swedish American Ath-
letic Club. The committee lost little
time in glancing over this document,
as it was Immediately discovered that
Masterson had not sworn to the writ
zen statement. Instead, Bertrand Mas
terson. a brother, signed the document
1t is said that at the time Frank was
III in bed.
Masterson had previously sought re-
nstatement into the Amateur Athletic
Union through the national registra-
ton committee, which convened at the
annual meeting of the organization in
Philadelphia last November. The ma
tional body approved of his request, but
put the final disposition of the case in
ton registration committee. Masterson
was not on hand last night to hear the
verdict.
The committee again voted to keep
Custave Desch, of the Pelham Bay
naval training station, on the sus.
pended list. 1t appears that Descf
competed and won the 220- yard low
hurdle junior national outdoor cham
pionship as a member of the Paulis
not eligible to represent the club a.
he had only joined that organization
six days prior to the title games.
Desch was ordered to return his frs
} place medal, but as yet has not com
piled. Desch has written the commit
tee that he cannot return the prize, q
he lost it on his way home on tn
evening after the games.
The registration body decided to tax
hand in the basketball situation il
this city. At each of the contests i
the 145-pound class title tourney, on
member of the committee viii be o
= hand to observe conditions. The Spar
tans Athletic Club, Incorporators' Clu
and Alpha Physical Culture Club yes
terday complied with the recent orde
that all teams entered must registe
their players.

Jack Dempscy's barber is after him
again, and although Jack has had sey-
eral close shaves in previous encounters
with the heroic whiskcr trimmer yes
terday he came out second best. The
barber gave him legal trimming.
You always could lure our closest Sc
crets from US, Aunt Eleanor Ann, and
there's no more use in trying to hide
the truth from you than there would be
in trying to "hidc behind huckleberry
bush" as Jerry Jones, up on the old
farm, has way of saying. That is why
we are going to come right out and say
that the barber referred to in the open
ing paragraph Of our little stcry this
morning is none other tim "Darber'

and "dust 'em off" with the old talcum
powder up in West Forty-hfth Street

game here in our fair city at the Harlem
Sporting Club. 1t was considered q
dull evening indeed when ginger pop
bottles and "Irish confetti" were not
were the happy evenings
Just two years ago yesterday the
GOOD John fell in with Mister Dempsey,
who was at that time unknown to fame
and would not have recognized square
,nnal if one had met him in the street
mnd kicked him in the shins. And the
k;ndly barber liked the looks of Jack s
two horny hands and put him on in
4 bout at his club, ~
lack knocked the other guy into the
middle of yesterday afternoon, and the
nvt ri'~ week he took on another chappy
nnS h;t him so hard that he knocked
aitu h;,p, ,;rht out from under his hair;
and and the next day the Barber and Johr
had a little chat over their Afternoon
