Hartford to Stage
 Bout Between Benny
 Leonard and Dundee

New York, Oct. 15-Johnny Dun dee, one of the leading contenders for the title held by Benny Leonard, is about to realize his ambition to meet the champion in a title bout to a decision. The date announced yes terday for the contest is Oct. 27, the length of the bout , rounds and the scene will be the State Armory at Hartford, Conn.,. which is larger than Madison Square Garden.
 This will be the first time Leonard will meet an opponent in a long bout to a decision since he captured the honors from Freddie Welsh in a ten round decisionless bout in this city. Leonard and Dundee have met seven times in decisionless bouts and the question of superiority has never been settled. Dundee had a shade over the champion in their last en- counter in Jersey, and has felt that if he could get a long bout with Leonard, in which the referee was authorized to give a decision on points, he would acquire the title.
 Dundee has been travelling at a fast gait in his recent contests and there is small doubt that the impending contest will draw the biggest crowd that yet has seen a lightweight bout in this part of the country.

Al Roberts, Staten
 Island Boxer, Must
 Rest Three Months

New York, Oct. 15.---A1 Roberts, the Staten Island heavyweight "phenom, who was 'sbusted' so thoroughly by Charlie Weinert at the Newark Sportsmen's Club show on Monday night, will not go into the ring again for three months. He received such a severe gash in the cheek that it will take weeks to heal, and his manager, Charles Gardella, has cancelled all of his engagements, first of all the meet Iny with Dan O'DOwd, former New England amateur heavyweight cham pion, scheduled for next Monday night at the Arena A. A., Jersey City.
 Knockout BilP' Brennan will take Roberts's place. Another substitution on the card that night will be Harry Greb for Soldier Bartfield as an op ponent of Tommy Robson of Boston. Bartfield is reported to be i'll with pneumonia
 Perhaps the facing that Roberts re- cetve5 will be a good thing for the boy. He has been bounding along on the crest of the wave, disposing of untrained men even more unskilfu1 than himself in two or three rounds without serious opposition. But Vein ert really trained for Mondays fight, and Roberts early in the match found that his hitting prowess amounted to nothing where the veteran heavy weight evaded his swings, beat him to the Head" time and again and ripped in fast uppercuts without a return.

New Haven, Oct. 15.-George Weiss team of Major League Stars had little trouble disposing of the veteran Yale nine at the Field yes terday by a 6-1 count. The game was played in a drizzling rain and the leaguers contented themselves with merely holding a safe lead and get ting the contest over. It was called at the end of the seventh.
 Every big leaguer appeared as ad- vertised. Joe Judge did not play be- cause of a, heavy cold but was on the bench. Marquard and Woodward both worked in the box, Marquard retiring the side in order in the three innings in which he worked and the first man to reach first was Larner who walked in the fifth. Woodward let down in the sixth and the first two men singled but the remainder were easy outs.

ANNIVERSARY OF GULLY
 GREGSON BATTLE

John Gully defeated Bob Gregson in 36 rounds at Newmarket, Eng, 112 years ago tomorrow, Ger. Is, 1907, Hen Pearce, ''The Game Chicken" was then champion, but he was ready to retire and Gully and Gregson were fighting for the right to succeed him. Early in the fight Gregson landed 8 blow that almost settled GuIly's hash, but he managed to toe the mark just in the nick of time. Bob then rushed in, caught Gully in his arms and flung him with astound- ing force to the ground" Such tac- tics seem strange to the ring fans of today, h"t the London Chronicle said that ''bE- the amateurs present this was thought to be the finest round ever fought. As they fought on, both men became so weak they could scarcely stand and their blows would hardly have damaged a fly. More than once the two fell so exhausted that it seemed doubtful if either would ever be able to answer to the call of time" Gully evidently had the ad- vantage in durability and in the 36th round he landed a tap on Gregson's s neck which sent him to the ground senseIess. Gully himself then col lapsed and had to be carried to a Carrigan. The next year they fought again and Gully had the best of it. Becoming champion of England-and honor which he soon voluntarily re- nnquished.

 Since their visit to Pittsburgh on Saturday. Assistant Coaches HoIlen- bach and Miller feel the necessity more than ever in developing fault less interference. Strange as it may seem, the entire daily practices at Franklin Field appear to be held for the Dartmouth and Pittsburgh games. Swarthmore, a local instt- tuition, will be here Saturday of this week. For that reason the Red and Blue coaches are whipping an attack that Is focused on running up an other large score.
 Penn has an abundance of mater ial this Fall, both on the line and in the backheld. Fo1well will not name a standard varsity team until the two big games appear on the cards Hay ing so many backs, FOlwen will give every one an opportunity of getting into the near-approaching contest those with Swarthrnore, Lafayette and Penn State on successive week-ends.
