 START FOOTBALL
By Briggs

Annapolis, Md, Aug. 16.- Football work for 1918 was started yesterday afternoon at the Naval Academy when Head Coach Gil Dobie met 100 candi- dates from the new fourth class.
 The squad will be doubled when the members of the class now engaged in other athletics are released. Though most of the material is light. there is a talr number of heavier men.
 The division will be divided into groups according to weight. There are about a dozen men weighing upward of 18O pounds.
 The present week will be used to outfit the squad and there will be daily practices from now to the end of the season, the work expanding as the tempera- ture permits. Doloie was much pleased with his new men and the spirit shown.

SmallGy School Still Leads in
 Baseball Race

In the Playground league at Walnut Hill park yesterday morning the Smalley playground boys added another victory to their already good sized list of wins. The Burritt boys were no mean opponents, however, and they were leading the first five innings by a score of to 0. At this stage of the game the Smalley boys settled down to some hard hitting and struck their regular stride in team play and they soon overlook and passed the Burritt team and when the game ended they were on top with a Il to : count to their credit. The standing of the various teams in the league to date is as fOlloWs:
New Britain herald., 1918-08-16

What appears to be two of the best games of the season will be played in the Walnut Hill City Baseball league at Walnut Hill park tomor- row afternoon The first game will be played between the Crescents and the North Ends. The Crescents are holding down the first place position In the league race and have secured this place by a steady brand of ball playing. The North Ends are going strong at the present time and are crowding the Crescents for their lofty spot and will no doubt give the Crescents 8 hard tussle to maintain their scanty lead. Both teams are snxiously awaiting the umpire s Play BalI' and the game should certainly be an interesting one to the ever-increasing crowd that gathers at the park on Saturday afternoon. The spartans and the Company NJ team gre booked in the second game. The spartans are tied for second place with the North Ends and a win over the Company M boys will place them in a position to move up the ladder quickly Although the Company M team holds down the last position The defeats that have placed them in .his position have been by the mar rowest of margins and they have he distinction of giving the speedy -rescents a good sound beating. This game should be fully as good as the opener and with these two games in order the baseball card for Walnut III park tomorrow afternoon looks inviting and should result in some snappy interesting play The first game is scheduled for 7 o'clock sharp and the second game at o'clock. William Botticeui will hold the irdi- cator in both games.

Newark Puts Ban on Bout.
But New Jersey May
Still Hold Affair.

New York, July 1O.-Fred Fulton
and Jack Dempsey are not barred
from plying their trade in the State
OF New Jersey, on the word OF John
S. Smith, chairman Of the State Rox-
ing Commission.
This hoodooed. often-kicked about
and very-much-abused bout will not
take place at the Newark Velodrone
on July 20, as advertised. but the
chances are bright for a meeting of
these giants in the near future be-
fore some recognized New Jersey box
ing club.
In statement yesterday the head
of the commission made it plain that
there can be no objection to a Demp-
sey-Fulton bout in the State of New
Jersey il it is arranged by a club
holding a boxing license. The Nelo-
drome, it appears, has no license, but
was granted a permit to conduct a
boxing carnival on the ground that
the receipts would go to swell the
Clark Griffith Bat and Ball Fund.
Mr.. Smith now says that the Ter
NIT was granted under a misappre-
hension, and that the commission un-
derstooc that the gross receipts
would be turned over to the war
charity; and learning that only
20 per cent was to be devoted TO that
purpose, the permit was Cancelled.

THREE-YEAR.OLD CLASSIC ..
ATAOUEDUCT TRACK TODAY

What promises to be one Of the
greatest turf events this season will
be staged at the historic Aqueduct
course this afternoon, when three of
the country's greatest three-year-
olds face the starter for the dash over
the mile and a quarter route.
The event has been renamed this
year from the Brooklyn Derby, to
the Dwyer Stakes, in honor OF the
late Phillip ]. Dwyer.
II. p. Whitney's crack 3-year-old
Johren. will be the odds on favorite
according TO present indications. al
though many of the wise" boys are
touting A. X. Macomber's War Cloud.
10 win the 500 stake race.
Jack Hare. jr.. who raced well on
the Maryland tracks will be the third
starter.
Johren will carry the heaviest i'm
post of III pounds, while War Cloud
and Jack Hare. jr. will shoulder Ia
pounds respectively.
Johren. running to her present form
should annex the brackets. but with
the questionable riding and form re-
versals that have been so frequently
seen of late on the New York tracks.
a lot of 'if' alibis may be heard
after the winner has heen declared.
Advices state that Sere may be an
added starter before the horses go to
