GRANEY SAYS
 CORBETT WAS
 KINGPIN OF ALL
(By ssGrayy.vO

Nby 'OfaNN.')
 l trust I won't be accused of ac- cepting a free pass from Corbett's Movie Producer if I publish the en- cOniums expressed by Eddie Graney recently. Graney was the tryout man for the old California club, ana hence he's a pretty good appraiser Says Graney:
 "Corbett standing six feet one inch wearing an 1S-inch collar and sport ing a chest like a dry goods box, was something to look at.
 I'm talking about the Corbett of 1889. The Corbett who was twenty three years of age. That was about the time he knocked Choynski out on the barge. Choynski was a great fighter. wasn't he? Corbett beat him three out of four times.
 Peter Jackson was a great man, wasn't he? John L. Sullivan refus- ed to fight him. Fitzsimmons offer ed to fight any man in the world, bar Jackson, didn't he?
 "Corbett took Jackson on when others were afraid to be on the same street with him. lney fought sixty one rounds. There was no winner, and COrbett at that time was but a kid.
 He knocked out John L. Sullivan when the odds were 100 to 20 that he would Jose.
 Its all over now, of course, and they knock this fight and that fight, but Corbett was a consistent winner, wasn't he?
 'EIe had more brains than a car load of the greatest fighters that ever lived He fought as you'd play checkers. He did certain things for a reason. He could outfeint the greatest Hghtweights we have today His footwOrk was immense and his ducking reminds me of Griffo.
 People have an. idea that Corbett couldn't hit. They don't know. Cor bett was a great hitter. That wasn't hls style. though. He usually made a monkey out of the man who faced h3m-thats what he usually tried to do. Tommy Ryan knows that Corbett could hit. He knows that Corbett was a master fighter, too. Ask Bob Armstrong if he could hit. Bob trained him for many a battle.
 When you saw Corbett fight you saw the kingpin of the ring. Today there isn't a mark on him, and he fought the best that ever stepped into a ring"

US. ATHLETES SHOULD PREPARE
 FOR OLYMPICS

New York, Sept 26-The news from London that the British Olympic committee has accepted Belg:ums in- vi-ation to take part in the 1920 OIyn- pic Games at Antwerp next August should spur the men who are inter csted in seeing the United States properly represented in the coming test of international athletic strength to action.
 True, ten months will have expired between now and the date of the first contest in the new stadium just out side of Antwerp, but when one looks over the amount of OrganiZa ton and work that must be put over before an American team leaves for the Bel gian city this time L5 none too long.
 The problem of the American Olympic committee is going to be, pri- marily, finance. There is enough high-class athletic material in the country right now to send a great team abroad, and next summer in the natural course of development there will be more.
 With funds it Is different. It is going to take a lot of money to swing Uncle Sam's athletic sons to Europe for tho Olympic Games next summer, ana Lhe sooner lLlo AiIleE-Ctih ClJ III piS committee sets about the task of rais- ing these funds the better.
 It is obviously too early to open a general subscription list, but it is not too early for the different Amateur Athletic Union associations and their units to plan for the raising of funds through their activities during the coming winter season.
 If a campaign Is started early and pushed vigorously all over the United States 1t will be possible to have in hand a very respectable nucleus of funds before the subscription list is opened next spring.

" COBB MAY
 LEAD TIGERS

The dismal failure of the Detroit Tigers to win the American league peHnaDt this season, may result in change of management. The Detroit players are blaming Hughey Jennings for the slump that has backed them down into fourth position They in- slst that proper handling of the Fig CTS pitchers by Jennings, would have landed the team in the worlds ser les Instead of the White Sox, for which reason the members of the De- troits are extremely disgruutled.
 If President Naviu of the Tigers decides Go let Jennings go. the De- troit players declare that the new manager will be Tyrus Raymond Cobb. In fact, the players are anxf- ous to have Cobb appointed head of tnc team. They say that the Georgia Peach frequently has made valuable suggestion to Jennings this year. but that the latter turned them down.
 CObb's friends in the team also as sert that Jennings has started several yarns to the effect that the celebrat- ed Ty has been causing dissension and really is 10 blame for the Detroit's loss of prestige. They accuse Jen- niugs of jealousy and a desire to get rid of the s2O,OO0 center fielder Cobb's friends insist that he would prove successful as manager of the team, for the reason that he posses ses the same winning qualities that have made Iris Speaker a capable leader of the Cleveland Indians.
 To a man up a tree it looks as if presideu. Nevin soon will have 70 choose between Cobb auad Jennings before the Tigers can be expected to make a winning fight for the pen uant in 1920.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL COMES
 BACK ID LIFE TOMORROW
Harvard, Brown, Dartmouth. and Rutgers Have Games ScheduIed-YaIe Does Not Start
 Until Following Saturday Afternoon.

Collegiate football comes back ta the gridiron tomorrow with promise
 Of greater attractions than ever be- fore. The inroa5a of the war have been obliterated and on each cam pus there is enthusiasm and optt- mlsm Men ho were trained in moleskins and fought in khaki are back in their padded uniforms once more each one better for the ef- forts in the struggle that ragged across the water. Hardened and heartened 0y war these players are about to display additional stamina, grit and aE@fesslVeness in defence of tradi- ton and their alma mater.
 While most of the college elevens are not yet ready for battle, liar ward, Dartmouth, West Point, Brown and Rutgers will begin a long season tomorrow, each meeting opponents of little strength, but teams that should bring out some early season calcula- tons of what is in store Harvard has contracted for an unusually heavy season, playing nine games in all.
 The Harvard Athletic Association treasury was hard hit during the war and it is hoped that a considerable sum will be realized during this foot ball season that some back bills may be paid.
 Prior to the war the football s11- premacy of Harvard had amounted to almost a tradition. Yale did man. age to upset the Harvard outfit in the last clash of the two teams, but this year Harvard has a host of its former stars back on he field and there is great optimism that liar Varu will once more assert itself. Percy Haughton, the famous coach, has not appeared as yet, but he is expected to take hold of the team before time for the annual clashes with Princeton and Yale.

No "Annie OakIeys'
 to Army-Navy Game

Annapolis. Sept. 26-There will be no free tickets to the army-navy foot ball game at the Polo Grounds, New York, for distribution to the public, and it is likely that the tickets which may be purchased at $500 or S3.5O can only be obtained through the members of the army or navy ath- letic association. There will be A. 900 tickets, each institution receiv- ing 13,S54 for distribution to it's members. This is expected to allow each member of the navy athletic as- sociation but two.
 The others will be on sale to the members of the association, and the only chance the general public will have will be 10 purchase through them If any remain unsold after No vember Is, which is unlikely They will be sold by the National Exhibi- ton Company owners of the Polo Grounds. l. is thought that the money received will just about cover the cost of the special stands and other expenses.

DARTMOUTH TO HAVE WEIGHT
 0N RUSH LINE

Hanover N. H. Sept 26 - The Dartmouth squad went through a light signal drill yesterday afternoon in preparation for Saturdays game with Springfield r. M. c. A., in which the full power of the Green eleven will be tried out. Coach Spears has been at a loss to find a basis on which to rate his material up 10 now, but at least three different teams will be used in the initial contest
 From the work the squad has been doing the last few days it will be a heavy line-bucking back field behind an equally heavy line that will wear the green this year.
 Eckberg and Robertson have been kicking well in practice, the latter getting his drop kicks off in his old form, and the probability is that he will make several attempts to score by this method in the game.
 With the opening of the collegiate year yesterday, Edwards has not as yet put in an appearance, and it is probable that Jordan will be used at fullback to start the game.
 YOungstron. who has been pIavfnr this position, has been shifted to the line. Robertson and Eckberg will be the first choice for halfbacks with CanneH calling the signals. Cogs- well and Myers are the ends
 Coaches Spears, LeweIlyn and Healey have been working hard to smooth out many kinks in the run ming of the eleven during the past few days, and as yet have not given out any elaborate system of plays being content for the first few games to use the simpler methods. in order to get their first string material sort ed out.
