Fordham football prospects were
boosted yesterday when three new
candidates reported to Coach Siskind-
John Mahony and the Campbell broth
ers, Tom and George-who have been
holding down tackle. guard and end
positions respectively on this years
star Fordham Prep. team. The three
were inducted into the S. A. T. C. on
Wednesday afternoon and are eligible
for the football team.
Besides the experience on the Prep
team this season, Mahony, who halls
from Loyola Academy in Chicago,
Iplayed several years of scholastic foot
ball out west. and was looked upon as
one Of the best linemen in the schol-
astic world developed in the Windy
City in many a season. He is stockily
built, very fast and as strong as an
OK. Although he has been playing
tackle on the Prep, Siskind may use
him in one of the guard positions, as
Harden and O'Hare are taking care of
their places in brilliant style.
George Campbell will help to fill a
gap on the end Of the line. Garvey
and Corsello are taking care of
the wing positions satisfactorily, but
should either one get hurt or t9xone
disabled in any way, the Maroon eleven
would find itself in very critical stu
alton. For up to the present time
there has been scarcity of wing ma
terial among the candidates at the

Corps. Fort Slocum will pin its hopes
for high position on Eddie Mayo and
J immy Hcnigan, 'cross-country cham
rions of 1916.
Fordham is picked to finish third
for the team honors, but it would not
be surprising if it did better than that.

Boxing News and Notes
BY FRED HAWTHORNE.

Cline was declared hors de combat, as
Marshal Foch would say, and so
Patsy's name was scratched off the list
and that of Jack Britton substituted
Judging from the way Jack treated
Benny at their recent bout in Phila-
delphia, Leonard has nothing to be
thankful for because of the substitu-
ton, while the fans ought to see a
mighty mussy mess when Jack and Ben
start warning in the ring.
We have been requested to announce
as prominently as possible" so we
are SHOUTING it, that there will be
meeting of boxers, their managers,
promoters and newspaper men tonight
at $3.50 o'clock in Jack Curley's office,
in the Fitzgerald Building, 1882 Broad
way, Room HOO. 1t is imperative
that everybody interested in the box
ing carnival attend this meeting.
Fair 'enough, say we, but did you
the order of precedence in which the
various professions to be represented
at this meeting are given? Boxers,
managers, promoters - Ooh! look
who's laatl
The purpose Of this gathering Of
great men is to finally clinch the
matches and come to a definite under
standing of what is to be done-and
undone. Watch your overcoats and
hats. gentlemen, nothing is nailed
down!
Out at Hunts Point Club, in The
Bronx, tonight, the boxing carnival
for the boys of the Pelham Bay Train
ing Station will be held, the money
received to go toward the purchase Of
athletic equipment for the gobs. A
notable list of bouts has been arranged
, and there ought to be enough blood
spilled to paint the town red.

It is reported that the local Street
Cleaning Department, after looking at
the torn paper on the streets last night,
voted in a body to resign. General
Sherman, you said somethingl
Charles "Brush" Harvey, chairman of
the local committee that has in charge
the United War Work Campaigns box
ing carnival at the Garden a week from
Saturday night, informed us last night
that '1rish" Patsy Cline, Harry Nor
gan Pollok's great little lightweight,
will not box Benny Leonard in one of
the star bouts, as previously an
nounced.
According to the way Charles sobbed
the story out on our sympathetic
shoulder, Aunt Eleanor Ann, Patsy sud-
denly got "dizzy in the head" while
bout. Pollok imme ediately summoned q
bone specialist, a physician and NOV
ing picture machine, and Patsy was put
under examination.
The bone specialist shook his head,
and after feeling Cline's bumps and
dents turned him over to the medico.
The movie man then took several reels
of Patsy's head, but nothing moved, and
then the doctor called in an X-ray ma
chine, and it was determined that the
boxer was suffering from slight tract
that he had been in an argument with
a couple Of strong-arm brethren a few
nights before, and one of these gentle
citizens, in the heat of argument. had
leaned q club on Patsy's head.
The upshot of the matter was that

Ford Prep Challenges
Erasmus for Football

With view to helping the United
War Fund, Fordham Prep issues a
challenge for football match to Eras-
mus High School, Of Brooklyn. Ac-
cording to the manager of the Ford
ham Prep, William H. Finegan, the
boys from The Bronx are willing to
play on any field and any date agree
able to Erasmus.
Fordham Prep has never had poor
team, and this year can lay claim to a
very strong aggregation. They have
already beaten the Princeton Prep,
Clason Point, and held the Fordham
S. A. 7. c. team, with the redoubtable
Frisch playing, to score Of only TO,
losing by only single touchdown.
This is an enviable record, and 9
match between these two teams ought
to help the fund materially. Manager
Finnegan would like to hear from Eras-
mus as soon as possible.
