minutes.
During the address following the
reading of the armistice terms there
was intermittent cheering. especially
when the premier spoke of the APP

Picked Soccer Team
of Canadians to Meet
Bethlehem Steel

New York, Nov. 6.-The inva-
sion of the United States by a
picked soccer team representing
Canada to play the champion Beth
lehem Steel Company at Harrison
field, Harrison, N. j., on Novem-
Der IT, has stirred up tremendous
enthusiasm among all soccer men
in and around this district. The
entire proceeds of the game, which
will attract a large crowd, will
be handed over to swell the Uni
ted War Work funds.
The offer. which came from the
Tofonto Sportsmen's Patriotic AS
ISOLATION, an organization which
handled the sports end Of Can
ada's War Work fund, was accept
ed at a special meeting of the
New Jersey State Football Asso-
citation. held in Newark, N. J., last
Saturday.
Chairman p. J.. Mulqueen con-
ceived the idea of sending a Can
adam team here to aid in our
campaign. s
The famous steel workers will
be put to a severe test in tackling
the Canadians, as the players from
the Dominion have many star
artists in their ranks.
All the expenses of'the visit of
the Maple Leaf boys will be borne

which is deserving of the great
est praise, and their generosity
would at least be rewarded by a

TWO AMESl In ONE FOOTBALL AT STAND SATURDAY; LEVnNSKY DEMPSEY BOUT TOMGH
"Battling LepinSky" Fights
Jack Dempsey Tonight

Barney Lebrowitz. better known
to the fstic world as Battling Le-
whisky" a native son of Philadelphia
and a kill-joy to all heavyweight as
pirants. arrived home yesterday with
his manager. Danny Morgan, ready
for his eighteen-minute bout tonight
with Jack Dempsey, the western
wonder. who recently decimated
Fred Fulton in eighteen seconds and
is. therefore. now talked of as Amer
lean champion.
If on the level. this should be n
of the best ring encounters witnessed
in many years. but YOU can never tell
an umbrella by the cover. Manager
Morgan. at least, is sure that his bat
tier will be on his feet at the end
of six rounds. He says that his
prodigy is too clever to run into any
of the Westerns swings, and, while
Dempsey is swinging, Bat will be get
ting in those singing lefts which
have accounted for so many of his
victories over much harder hitters
than Dempsey"
Il don't fear those fellows who try
to end the fight in a punch" con
tinued Levinsky's manager. They
are Nlit hllu bAldN dAC llAoAt lbl ANA-
lows like Barney. l expect the bat
tier to show Dempsey a few points
in the gentle art OF boxing when they
meet. OF ours Bat may not knock
out Dempsey. but il is a cinch bet
that Dempsey will not knock out Bat
and if, at the end of the bout, the
papers don't say that this western
phenom has been ou%tpointed l will
be a verymuch disappointed and sur
prised man
Dempsey came from his training
quarters in Long Branch early this
morning. He is just as confident of
victory as is Levinsky. but says hat
he has a hard proposition before him
to knock M such a clever man as
he is going against tonight. In a
talk with him at his quarters yester-
day he said:
Lot OF people think l should be
able TO positively knock out Levin
sky. Dc you know of any one who
has done so? Levinsky has met vir-
tually every heavyweight in the
world, yet he has never been knock
ed out. Yet they expect that l ought
TO stop him.
Il want to prove to the fans that
l didn't fear Bat when he had the
misunderstanding over a bout at Eb-
bets Field for the knights of Column !

the campaign.
A golf match between those old
rivals of the links, Walter ]. Travis
and Findlay S. Douglas, is now as
sured.
Douglas reaffirmed yesterday his
willingness to meet Travis either in
singles or in a foursome, and it now
remains only for Cornelius ]. Sui
Ivan, chairman of the golf commit
tee for the drive, to arrange the
date and the details.
AS Travis declared himself in IA
vor of a singles match on Wednes-
day, and as Douglas stands ready to
do his part, no matter what the con-
ditions, a singles match ii is sure
to be.
In all probability this highly inter-
esting battle will be waged over the
Garden City links On November 10
or November II.

mache track has more durability, in
sures greater speed and costs much
less than a wooden track. The in
ventors promise a demonstration be-
fore November 10. Right now it is
I only a question of securing the prop
er material. A 1O-lap track requires
about 10000 square feet of material.
1t is built in sections and can be put
into shape for racing in five hours.
1t takes about 4S hours to construct
a board track and it becomes worth

the earnestness OF the way the fellows
went at one another.
The first bout between Kid Hof-

furnished all the pep and go that any
follower OF the fstic art might desire.
Hoffecker seemed to have The best OF
lie bout, although Hall had his friends
who claim that he was in the running
as much as Honeeker.
The bout between Chadwick ana
Heating, f5S Founders, was a scientlil'
exhibition Of how the heavier weights
work. Chadwick has had the more eX-
perience and mis- friends say he made
the better showing.
The final bout was between hid Con
zales and Kid Williams. Gonzales Is
from Cuba and Williams is a colored
boxer.
An Of the bouts were Of three rounds
OF two minutes duration. Bill Neeson
was referee and Jack Golmour, time

had a hearing in City Court this morn

oarding 10 Dapln, George Franz and
John Frame, the soldiers, while in an
intoxicated condition, approached the
Dapin restaurant and tore the screen
from a window. When this act was
resented by Dapin. the soldiers threw
bricks through the restaurant window,
breaking a pane upon which was
painted an American flsg. One Of the
accusers, although foreigner by
birth. exhibited the remnants OF the
broken flag, and dramatically declared
his loyalty TO 10.
In court the soldiers denied their
guilt saying ihat there was another
gang" outside the restaurant at the
time and that those men were prob
ably the guilty ones. However, the
soldiers were identified by tho wit
nesses as the guilty parties.
