To MEET
Al COOK WE'D.
Local Fighter Must Make l2O
Pounds to Meet Cook at
Lotos Next Week

Will Kid Potty make 120 pounds
next Wednesday night when he en-
ters the ring to meet AL Cook, the
tough Newark battler, in one or tne
two eight-round attractions, or VIII
he forfeit the fat guarantee ina ms
MISUNDERSTANDING smith, has put up
with McNulty. the local promoter, 70
show his bonaide intentions. Is the
question that has local fight fans
specializing. Potty's everyday weight
is 125 pounds but in order TO meet
Cook on Wednesday night at the
iIotos he must weigh in at 100 pounds
at 3 o'clock Wednesday afternoon, SO
Potty has just five days In which to
work off the five extra pounds that
now hug him.
This bout with AL Cook will be
Potty's first real big bout as up to
the present time he has met all local
bows and a few fourth raters from
the vicinity. While Cook Is by no
means a first rater he is a fighter or
no mean ability and will be Potty's
real test. At his normal weight Potty
would have five pounds over his New
ark opponent but upon the Essex
county boy demanding that the local
fighter make 120 Potty readily con-
ceded the five pounds in dispute to
the Newark scrapper and now his
main idea is to work off the surplus
weight or lose his guarantee,
Whether this reduction In weight
will handicap the Kid n is doubtful
as he has been living soft since the
Morgan explosion n no u has
taken on "a few extra pounds. When
.Potty met Abe Forgottson in the
.Lotos ring some time g his an
nounced weight was 122 pounds and
he appeared to be in fine condition.
Will 100 ringside weaken Potty? This
question will be determined on We'd
nesday night at the Lotos and h
usual large following Of The local
lightweight will be oil hand to root
him to victory.
Two soldiers from Camp Morgan
a grudge against each other
have decided to have 1t out in the
local ring Wednesday night and from
all indications there will be a case for
an undertaken after these Sammies
get through mauling each other.

Sir Thomas Upton Expected
TO Plan for Yacht Cup Race

BOSTON, Nov. 16:-Word from Sir
Thomas Upton, asking for a yacht
cup match next summer. is reasonably
certain according to Boston yachts
men. The Shamrock ~ is laid up III
Brooklyn, N. Y, with about all the
gear needed. At Bristol, X. l., the
Resolute is ready 10 be placed in fight
ing trim;
the blue ribbon trophy of the sea had
not war interviewed and Sir Thomas
and the cup committee of the New
York Yacht Club agreed to await bet
ter times.
h Resolute, choice of many
yachtsmen as defender, is in excellent
conditionTprobably as sound as when
built by Herreshoff for a syndicate of
New Workers.. Maybe her aluminium
deck might need attention, out that rs
a mere detail. The Vanite, owned by
A. 8. Cochran, of Yonkers, N. Y. and
built by Lawley of Neponset, is laid
up at City Island, N. Y, and nobody
has ventured that the bronze structure
deteriorated with lapse of time.
As for h personal of the R~esolute,
well, they're asgf1t as a fiddle. Robert
w. Emmons I'd Of Boston. manager of
the syndicate and the biggest gun
aboard when 1t comes to actual work
with that yacht, is a lieutenant in the
naval reserve force, and nearly a year
has passed since he began shutting
the Atlantic on q big transport,
There's Charles Francis Adams OF
Boston, too, helmsman of the Reso-
lutte, every whit as clever as ever and
aglow with virile health.

Another CoIey Letter

Another of Corporal Joseph Coley's
interesting epistles in which he fore
casted an early peace on Oct. 20, Is
published herewith;
II have met Hank Weber from
Woodbridge at the Engineer Replace
ment camp, and he is digging trenches
down there. / am not as optimistic
as some of the boys who are certain
of eating Christmas dinner home, but
my honest opinion is that 1 shall be
home by next Spring. You remem-
Der l wrote some time ago that 1
would like to get home in the spring
so that l could loaf all summer. Well
that Is coming true as sure as you are
a foot high; barring accidents I will
be home and 1t will be "Finis la
guerre," and the bungalow hat I ex-
pected to occupy May 81, 1917 at
Keansburg, will be occupied by yours
truly on or about May 81, 1919. So
you see my vacation was delayed Just
two years-two years of wonderful ex-
p~erience h a / would not take $4,000
for, but / would not give a nickel to
go through them again.
I'VE feel now that Germany Is all
in, even the French, who once had the
Idea hat the war would last forever,
but-even they admit hat 1t Is going to
be only a question of months. Last
July, when the Allied offensive started.
the old boys went into the fight with
Heaven. He'll or Hoboken by Christ
mas and they pretty nearly spoke the
truth. Germany Is about through and
she is getting the trimming of her life.
Marshal Foch Is without doubt the
! greatest military genius Of this var
They say that July IS was the turn
) ing point in the war and / am ttckled
to death now hat our little old divt-
sion was the first one over here, the
first one to she'd blood on French soil
and also had the honor of going over
the top on July IS with the Morocans
and Algerians, who are the best storm
troops that France has. When you
come to think of 1t hat was quite ar
honor that Marshal Foch and General
Pershing paid us.
They had confidence in us and II
was not misplaced. We advanced JUS
as fast as the Morocans did and kept
ahead of them most of the time. Of
course we were not the only Ameri.
can division up there but We were II
at the start. One thing that I an
glad to say Is that no matter what
division it was, they all showed the,
were Americans and gave old Fritz 9
good trimming. OF course that ad,
vance cost something. but we paid tht
price. I can see it in our own com

supreme sacrifice and that a goo

his retirement eighteen months ago,
tonight at the Twenty-third Regiment
|Armory, Brooklyn, when he matches
strides with the best rune of the

doubts as to whether or not he could
come back by defeating a field Of six
teen runner from the scratch mark
in the 100-yard run, incidently de-
feating Jack Sellers, who also started

local runner showed hat he still re-
tanned his old time speed and endur-
ance.
In the games tonight Baker will
run in the 100 and 500 yard runs and
a win in either over the field that has
been selected to beat him win prove
without a doubt that he Is the peer

opponents while Campbell, the boy

LAKE SAILORS
MEET RUTGERS
Great Lakes Gridders Meet
Strongest Team in East To-
day at Ebbets Field

This afternoon at Ebbets Field,
Rrooklyn. the Rutgers College eleven
will meet the test of the season when
they tackle the pigskin hooters Oh
the Great Lakes naval camp.
Opposing the Great Lake team the
Sanford-coached New Brunswick
SQUAD will be going against an eleven
stronger than any they have faced
this season. Ursinus, Lehigh, Charlie
Brickley's Navy Transports, Penn
State and even the Pelham Bay Naval
Training Station sailors, despite their
close score, were all easy for the
Rutgers machine. 1t is a fact that
Rutgers players haven't even been
forced to extend themselves in any
one of these games, and they nave
every right to be regarded the strong
est aggregation here in the East. The
Great Lakes players, on the other
hand, nave not lived up to expecta-
tons. They AVE tied with North
Western University and with Notre
Dame, the first being a scoreless at
fair, while each side counted a touch
down in the latter meeting. In nell
Their of these games has the Great
Lakes outfit shown the power that
the lineup bespeaks, but-this is ex-
planned away by the coaches, who
declare thai they have been center
ing their all on getting ready for h
game with Annapolis, which Is to de-
eide the navy championship.
The Great Lakes team hat will ar
rive in New York some time today Is
all set to make the big fight on An
napolis, and the tussle with Rutgers
Is being counted on to furnish the
test of their preparedness. Excepting
only Whitman, all of the big football
guns of the naval camp will be in
against Rutgers, including Paddy
Driscoll of Northwestern, Bachman
of Notre Dame, Hal Erickson and
Jim Councilman.
For the first time in several weeks
Rutgers will have out it's full
strength. Val Francke's ankle is once
more in good repair and he will go
back to his old job at center. Robe
son and Breckley will be on the
wings, Captain Feitner and Mount at
the tackles, Rollins and N~euschaefer,
guards; Baker, quarterback; Kelly
and Gardner, ~halfbacks; Summerill,
fullback.
