KIRkP. P..TRlCX IS GIVEN TRIAL AT TACKLE BY YALE

New Haven. Conn, Oct. 23-Kirk- patrick had a trial on the Yale var sity yesterday afternoon in the two scrimmages against the second var stty ant the second college team. He
 played at right tackle. where he
 played in some of the minor games on Cupid" Blacks team of 1916 and on the freshman team of the year be
 fore.
 Kirkpatrick is one of the strongest men on the football squad. He weighs 19S pounds, and besides his freshman and varsity experience here, played tackle at Exeter. Fn Is 8 hard tack
 Ter, but so far this year has seemed 8 little slow, and HammiIl and Dick ems have both been tried in the place
 He showed well today,
 Paul Crane, the Andover halfback of two years ago, also received con- siderable attention from the coaches He started in the backfield but was replaced by Aldrich and put on the second team after a tumble. Later, however, he returned to the varsity and finished the day there He is an
 excellent punter and strong on the secondary line of C Gefense He weighs 165 pounds and while he has a bad habit of fuTnb1ing he may get into the big game and be a regular In his two remaining years.
 Capt. Callahan was not in the signal drill, but did some passing late in the afternoon. Jim Braden was at the field and though his eye still troubles him a good deal did some drop-kick- Ing.
 The only injury was to Walters, the scrub centre, who broke his thumb and who was replaced by Harry Will Hams, IT,. whose father is coach of the Minnesota eleven. Walters is one of the few football players in recent years that has come to Yale from
 Mercersburg. He weighs 1S0 pounds
 and with the situation regarding cen tres as it is at Yale today, his loss
 means quite 8 bit, With Callahan 1 out, Calvin is the only man of any value. Williams weighs I93 pounds
 and played at Penn Charter and Min
 nesota, but has yet to show varsity
 caIibre here.
 i Kempton, once again at quarterback
 on the varsity, ran the team with great snap and Webb and Crane 1 proved good ground gathers at times
 but the second varsity seemed at least the equal of the first.

MEXICO WILL
 ALLOW FINISH
 BOXING BOUTS

New York, Oct. 2s-B any of our boxers yearn to engage in longer bouts than those permitted in the United States they can gratify their desires through the medium of a trip to Naco, Sonora, Mexico. Several Queensberry experts have at times in the average bout in this country, and have gwen expression to the opinion that if the limits were in creased they would be able to win championships.
 Kid Lewis recently gave voice to the belief on his part that he could in finish bout conquer either Jack Britton or Benny Leonard. All that is necessary to enable him to fight to g. finish is to get some promoter to offer purse sufficiently large to war rant a trip to Mexico. The conces- sionatre is Jose Domtnguez and he has obtained the permission of Gov Adolfo de Ia Huerta of Sonora to go as far as he likes in the matter of boxing.
 The only trouble with a bout in Mexico is that a revolution might start just before ring time, and the victors might call off the bout or con hscate the gate receipts. These little. matters must be taken into consider alton in arranging for a bout across the Mexican border. Jack Johnson once thought of fighting in Mexico. but he changed his mind when he learned the percentage of the receipts demanded by the local authorities

B.H.S. ELEVEN
 DEFEATS YALE FRESHMAN TEAM

By beating the Yale Freshmen yes terday afternoon at Newfeld park, the Bridgeport High school players stamped themselves as the strongest aggregat ton that has represented the local school on the gridiron since the days when Foster and Keane brought championships to Bridgeport. The B. H. s. team. which won the state title last year, defeated the heavy Yale aggregation yesterday by II te Q.
 The local players showed plenty ef power on the attack and were strong on defense. Capt. Hammill proved a wonder both at advancing the ball and on the defense. He shared honors with Hickey, the pride of the East End, whose plunges into the lines the Yale players were un- able to resist. Burns, BeFkwit and Murphy did great work on the line for B. H. s. Hammil1 scored a touchdown in the first period and Hickey in the second. Hickey kick ed both goals.

Football must appeal to the fight ing spirit of the Irish. If you doubt It take peek at the Celtic moni- ckers mixed up with the pig-skfn nix-ups this fall-and then think or he famous Irish names associated with the sport In the past. Tim Cal1a- tIan, YaIe's star centre. is heading he sons of Old Eli on the gridiron his fall.
 Hack McGraw, who lost a finger abroad while making a fine war record as 6 major of infantry, is explaining the Princeton eleven this year. William James Murray will command the Harvard team when the Crimson trots out on the field to do battle with its foes. That's a fairly good indication Of the interest of the Irish in the game for real men onlyi
 In addition to these captains there Is Eddie Casey Harvard's great back and Horween, Thilbin, another CaIIa- han at Princeton, Clarity. and a host of others whose geneology can be traced back to the Emerald Isle.
 Yale has had her quota of fla nous Irishmen in footballs history. Two of her greatest captains in the past were Hogan and. Tom Shevlin. both dead now although their period wasn't 80 far removed from the pres ent.
 Shevlin was one of the mtghtiest ends that ever donned the moleskin. Powerfully built he was as speedy as g. deer in getting down under punts. And very few runners ever made great gains around his end and even with good interference. Rafferty was another great captain and playet at Yale. He was a wonderful kicker, and a puncturer of the stonewall defenses he had no equal.
 At Harvard we have the little Daly one of the greatest quarter-backs in the history of the sport. Brickley, the plunging back, and star kicker ant the phenomenal back linesman Eudle Mahan whose wlzardry in the art of running through a broken field has seldom been equalled.
 And Princeton hasn't forgotten that at one time in her history she had a football star playing under the name of Eddie Dillon!

HARVARD BEATS
 FRESHMAN TEAM

Cambridge, Mass, Oct. 23.-Two touchdowns and both of them made because of the varsity's ability to rush steadily to the goal line from mid field, furnished the margin by which the Crimson regulars beat the Har- yard freshmen team in the Stadium yesterday afternoon. The line cOntfn ued to show the smoothness that has been visible since just before the Brown game, and with still another backfield combination running, Har- wards offensive picked up decidedly.
 Wfthington's lighter line, however, could not put up more than q stub horn battle against the husky regu- lars and the advance of the Varsity plays although sometimes held up temporarily, was always sure. The freshmen had some good plays and on one of them, an end run by Owens with excellent interference, carried the ball a few cross lines from the Va rsity goal. The 'Varsity's forward pass defense was perfect at this point, however It was after stopping the freshmen far down the field that on a partially blocked kick the ball was recovered by Ryan, the Varsity left end, after which the regulars maSde their second drive up the field.
 The coaches liked the work of the line but had to make another back field shift Hamilton was put back in the tandem because A. Horween has a bruised leg. Humphrey and Burn ham being the other backs. Burn ham is getting back into the driving football shown before he was hurt.

 Newark Next Sunday

New Haven, Oct. 22.-LocaI football enthusiasts are due for royal treat when the Washington Gqees stack up against the strong Valley A. A., of Newark, N. J. This team has teld the New Jersey state championship for eight consecutive years and are now on the way to the ninth. The team is very speedy, playing q fast, open game and using to the fullest extent the weight of their line and baclzfield.
 The team averages 1S0 pounds and lis composed of former collegians with the pick of the shipyard teams near Newark. They use Rutgers forma- tions exclusively and New Haven people who are admirers of Foster Sanford. the old Yale player and coach, will have a chance to see his pet plays used by a team, many of whose players were coached by San ford himself

 ID BEAT BRITT
 THEN KILBAnE:

Bridgeport and the neighboring .tcintty boxing fans will have an ep- portunity on Monday night, to wit ness in action, Benny Valger, the french featherweight champion, and determine whether ar not he Is the most logical contender to take the measure of Johnny Ktlbane, and thereby annex the featherweight crown of the world. yaIger will be the feature attraction at the Union f7oating Clubs boxing show, and his rls,-IIlIe Brit, the New England states featherweIght and lightweight champion.
 Action is promised all these who attend the show, as the French champion intends to send Britt into sluEnberland, just as he did with Jim my Hill, the Australian featherweight champion, a week ago In Boston. AS a matter of fact, the French flash has 1t all doped out why he should score a knockout over Britt, when they exchange blows on this occasion Valger seeks a knockout victory oveI the New Bedford whaIeF because 1t will boom his campaign for 9 titular battle with Kilbane, and eventually the fea therweisht champion of the world.
 The sensational little F'renchman figures he can do 1t because he slip ped over kayoes on Gussie Lewis, Phinney Boyle, Phil Logan, Jimmy Fil1, and because he knocked down Johnny Dundee and Artie Root. When Benny scored a cean knock down over Dundee he did. something that Benny Leonard, Lew Tender, Joe Yelling and Johnny Kibane were unable to come anywhere near ac- compltsh'ng and he proved himself one of the best punchers in the box ing game today.

DEAL FOR HORnSBY SAID
 TO BE ALMO3T COMPLETE
Fletcher Zimmerman and Some Young Players Likely tc Be Given to St. Louis for Star Inielder-
 Hickey Fears Fans Wrath

New York, Oct. 23-A Chicago crt- lie unbelts the information that Hal Chase alone of the present Giant in Iielders will be with the club when he baseball guns begin their spring time serenade in 1920.
 Whether the critic in question knows what of he speaks CT HereIy $ talking through his fall chapeaU time alone will tell. Amid the wei
 CT of rumor and counter rumOt flooding the baseball world today enc earns soon to take nothing for grant d until the chick is matched.
 But there is ample reason to anti
 ipate, nevertheless, a sweepinE shange in the lineup of the Giants IL was the breakdown of the inner defence that cost McGraw the pen naRt this season and he doesn't in tend to risk disaster again the 1920 through the same cause.
 Whether Chase alone will be retain ed or Fletcher remain with him is 2 problem for the so-ca1led book-at least at this premature occasion. If, as is probable, McGraw negotiates a deal for Hornsby it is aItogetre. likely that he will be compelled to give Fletcher and Zimm erman as c part of the purchase price, for Branch Hickey would not dare part with his youthful headliner unless he obtained in exchange at least two weH-season- ed henchmen.
 Hickey, of course. will have to con- sider his Mound City patrons should he yield to E[cGraw's entrea aties to trade or sell Rogers Hornsby.
 In the ffrsS place the fans c" St. Louis are certain to resent the loss of HoTnsby, regardless of what Rickev obtains for him. The departure of Gonzales and Snyder last season stirr ed widespread antagonism against Hickey. The fans are in no mood to part with a star of such magnitude as Hornsby.
 But if Hickey should draw both fletcher and Zimmerman and one or two young players with money in addition for the brilliant Cardinal he at least would be able te go with clean hands before his home town jury of fans. Two players like Fletch- CT and Zimmerman probably could aid the Cardinals more throughout the , course of seasons campaigning than one headlfner such as Hornsby.
 However, the distant sphinx is aab- 1 by as a show girl, compared to John McGraW when a deal inpends, The wires are taut between New York and St Louis. McGraw and Rickey- are close friends in and out of base ball. McGraw never has denied he was seeking Hornsby. He is known r., i have the inside track inasTnuch as a proposition. Hornsby wants beyond i all else to come to New York-the ! goal Of every ambitious ball player, ! Hickey is willing to trade CT sell pro- yided he obtains his price.
 From this nook of observation it appears g. safe wager that Bornsbx- will be with the Giants next season. as safe as money in the mint. Thers IS no telling now what will be the personnel of the Giant infieId If Chase be able to stand the Dace he doubtless will remain, as will Frank Frtsch. But for the rest of 1t we pre- fer to let Old Doc Time, who never TRuffs, supply the answer.

YOUNG SCHhEFEk BEATS Ybh1ADA
 IA CUE MATCH

New York, Oct. 23-Young Jake Schaefer, son of the famous Jake 5chaefer, exhibited billiards of the Hoppe kind, the real Hoppe kind, in his match against koji Yamada, of Japan, yesterday afternoon in the national 1S.2 baIk-line championship tournament which is being held in the grand ball room of the Hotel Astor.
 Schaefer, nursing the worries in masIerly style, and making many masse shots that looked impossible to the crowd, overwhelmed his dark skinned rival by the one-sided score of 400 to 82. And 1t was only by the smallest fraction of an inch that Young Jake m-ssed equaHng the worlds high average record of 100 made by George k. Sutton against Willie Hoppe in 1907 in a 500 point game.
 Along in the fourth inning, the youngster got the balls rolling nicely and ran off 14S points. He now needed only eight more points to compete his string and to match Sut- tons record average. On his one hundred and forty ninth shot Schae- fer, after studying the balls carefully, attempted simple one cushion shot.
 The cue ball hit the spot ball, ca romed off to the cushion and came slowly rolling back in the direction of the red ball, which was near the rail. There was not quite enough English on the ball, however, and it just skinned by the red ball. Thus schaefer's hope of equaling the rec ord disappeared.

 Gould Not Take His Stars

New York. Oct 23-Exemption from the draft has been a great boon to the minor leagues, particularly the leagues of higher classification, and there Is no. likelihood of the minor leagues again entering into an agree ment with the majors by which the baseball drafts will be resumed. So said Dave F'ultz yesterday in discuss ing the minor league situation. Bultz is president of the New International League and q member of the Nation al Board. tho executive body of the minors.
 FuItz will represent his league al the minor league conference which has been called for Springfield, Mass. on November Il. While FuItz de citned to predict any legislation which might be transacted at the annual meeting of the minor leagues. he said the meeting would be one of the most important ever held by the National Association of Minor Leagues, II will be the first session of the minors since the abrogatiou of the old National Agreement
 "I can. of courSe speak only for the rnteruattonat- 1eague,'' said Fultz. "but | have no doubt that the doing away with the draft was one ef the greates; blessings that ever came 10 the minor leagues,
