ANNIVERSARY OF TITLE BOUT BETWEEN WORMALD AND
 AIARSDEN.

Many eld-time fans of Canada and the United States can recall the strong and athletic figure of Joe Wormald, once champion of Eng land, for he spent his latter days on this side of the Atlantic and died in Quebec. Today is the f1fty-fourth an- niversary of the battle by which Mermaid became champion, as he defeated Andrew Marsden in & bat tle for the big title, the belt and s2,OOO, at Horley, England, on Janu- ary 4, 1865.
 Wormald made his ring debut in 1863. when he was matched with Jack Smith. 8 protege of Jem Mace, who had temporarily retired from the ring. Smith was known as "Mace's Wolf" and lived up to the title on that occasion, for he fought Worma1d 115 rounds, lasting four hours and a half, until darkness in- terfered and resulted in a draw. This ferocious contest was for the larga sum of $135sa a side.
 Wormald then defeated George Hes, a famous fighter of that day When Mace retired, Wormald and Marsden were the logical contenders for the title. Andrew Marsden was six feet two inches in height and 8 game and powerful fighter. He had defeated Ned O'Baidwin in a little over three minutes. They later fought a draw, which was the de- cision given when the contest ended in row.
 Then came the Weimaid- Marsder battle in which Joe knocked out his opponent in the eighteenth round and became the acknowledged champion of England. That aroused the warlike spirit of Jem Mace, an6 he emerged from his retirement tc challenge the new champion. Tht match was made, but few days l before the date set the promoters re ceived a statement from a hospita surgeon which declared that Wor maid was suffering with periostitu! 1 of the right humerus. It seems tha | he had strained the muscles of his right arm in training, but the trou
 ble apparently spread to his feet rendering them gelid, and makins
 necessary a change of climate. St 1 Wormald sailed away to America
 and Jem again claimed the big title i Wormald died in Quebec of braiI
 fever, which made him a raving 1u
 natic in his last moments.

Schedule Not Yet Drawn Up For New
 Basketball League

The schedule for the proposed Girls Basketball league will not be drawn up until after the Christmas vacation. This statement was given out this morning by Superintendent of the Board of Recreation, MT. Ga han. The league will consist of the following schools: M&plewood, Hall, Lincoln and Barnum and all games will be played at Battling Levinsky' s old gym on Newfield avenue
 The schools all claim they will have fast team and there promises to be some lively games in the cir cult. Lincoln especially may be banked on to have a fast team as they have the pick of the East End on their team and there are some pretty lively girls over that way. Hall also is expected to have fast team as many of the girls living in the cities where the game has been play ed extensively and many of them know the game from A 10 z.
 It was proposed at first to have four teams in each school but the plans have been changed and there will now be sixth and seventh grade team and a school This leaves out the eighth grade team.
 There promises to be some livel! games in the circuit and if everything goes right this year it is proba bl' that they will have an eight cluF , league next year.

BURKE TO MANAGE ST.
 LOUIS BROWNS AGAIN

James Timothy Burke. who has been re-engaged to manage the St. Louis Browns next year, is already getting his hand in on the job and laying plans which he sincerely hopes will make the Mound City ball artists cop the pennant When Fielder Jones quit the management of the Browns last summer, Owner Phil Ball appointed Jimmy Burke, the head coach, to lead the team. Burke had been Hughie Jennings lieuten- ant for several years, but was re- leased by Detroit to the Browns to make room for Bill Donovan. Burke assumed the leadership in St. Louis at a time when the Browns were dis gruntled and the team was consider ably shaken. He soon restored har- mony and had the club playing fast ball when the campaign ended on Labor Day. As Burke handled the Browns like real manager, Owner Ball decided that he deserved an- other chance in 1919.

BENNY KAUFF SIGNS CONTRACT Bashful Benny First Major League Player to Sign
 1919 Papers.

Sergt. Benny Kauff---not Corporal, but Sergeant---is the first major league baseball player, so far as known, to sign a contract for the ap- preaching season.
 John Foster, secretary of the New York Giants, announced yesterday that the paper which tnsures the hard hitting outfielder playing with the tea mthis year had just been filed away in the safe and for the moment rested there all by itself
 Sergt. Kauff, who, by the way, has just been appointed to the new grada, came East from Camp Sherman, O.. just before Christmas for the single purpose of talking baseball, and be- fore returning agreed to terms and now his signed contact has been re- ceived.
 He expects to be mustered out of the army today or tomorrow and can hardly wait for the baseball season to open. John Foster said yesterday: | I've never seen @ man so crazy over the game. When he was here he l tried to- get somebody to go to the l Polo Grounds with him to bat out flies. and he is in condition this min
 ute to take his place in centre field.
 I have never seen a more nkea'ble fel-
 low in all my baseball experience, and
 his enthusiasm for the game is such
 that I guess he'd play for nothing
 rather than not play at all. He Is the first New York player to sign a con-
 tract and I guess the first in either major league"
 i Sergt, Kauff played in 67 games for the Giants last season before being called to the colors and turned in a. batting average of .915. He made S5
 hits, of which two were home runs four were three-baggers and 19 were
 two-baggers. He stole only nine bases but his position in the batting list ac-
 counts partly for this, Zach Wheat
 Of Brooklyn, the real leader in Ma
 tional League batting. with .S35. played in 105 games and stole only
 nine bases.
 Kauft stood ninth on the list and twas one of IA players to get In the icharmed circle of 300 httters.

WILL NOT SUPPORT AUG. HERMANN
Heydler Says Present Head
 of Commission Must Go.

Chicago. Jan. 4-John A. Heydler. who stopped In this city yesterday on his way to French Lick, Ind, where today he will meet Ban Johnson and Barney Dreyfuss for the purpose of drafting the schedules for the coming season, declared that tho 1Tational League favored the creation of a one man commission to govern baseball, or failing to bring about this radical change would advocate for chairman of the commission as at present con- stftuted a man not now identified with the sport in any way.
 This, of course. means that the National League does not favor the retention of August Hermann, the present chairman" added Heydler.

TODAY'S ANNIVERSARY

Epiphany, which will be celebrated on Monday and to which Twelfth Night is an introduction, means manifestation" and is based on the belief that Jesus first manifested his mission on that day, when a star re- vealed his birth to the kings of the East, who hastened to Bethlehem to worship the infant, The second man. tfestation recalled by Epiphany was when Jesus was leaving the Jordan after baptism by St, John, and the Holy Ghost descended upon him in the visible form of a dove while a voice from heaven said. 'GThis is my beloved Son, in Whom I am well pleased" The third manifestation of divinity was the marriage at Cana. when Jesus, at the feast transformed water into wine, The remembrance of these three manifestations is oele- brated by the Roman Catholic church in one and the same festival.

LITERARY REVIEWS

The first literary review was the Journal des Savants, which was founded in Paris 254 years ago today. Its editor was Denis de Salle, a Paris official noted for his learning, but for some reason he chose to edit the publication under the assumed name of Sieur d'Hedouville. The Journal des Savants also published legal, ec- clesiastical and scientific reviews and biographical articles and obituary notices of famous personages. Then as now the literary critic was not popular with the authors, and, as most of the latter were clergynen, and the church had great influence over the state, the Journal des Sa- wants was suppressed after an exist ence of three months. It was re- established year later by church
 man, the Abbe Gallois. It's publIca- ton was continued until the French revolution, when it was suppressed 1 for several years. It was revived about a century ago and it is now published by the French government, under the editorial direction of a
 commission appointed by the Minister 1 of Education,

BRIDGEPORT HIGH SCHOOL TRIMS
 NEW BRITAIN

The Bridgeport High school basketball team journeyed to New Britain last night where they de- feated the fast quintet representing New Britain High by the score of 36 to %. The game was fast and interesting throughout and the crowd vas treated to many fast plays by both teams. Only once was New Britain ahead of the local team and then only by a small margin of one point. The Bridgeport High school team played some rattling fast basketball and the shooting of Aiiacco and Blade was easily the fea- ture of the game.
 The Bridgeport High school girls will play the Alumni girls a return game this afternoon and some good basketball is in store for those who attend.

BOB SHAWKEY GETS LUCKY
 PUNISHMENT
Yankee Pitcher is Sent to Sea and Sees German Fleet Surrender.

New York. Jan. Bob Shawkey, pitcher of the New York Yankees, who enlisted in the navy early last season. paid a visit to the club of fices in the 42d Street Building yes terday and was warmly greeted by Col. Huston, who returned from France on Thursday.
 Shawkey thanked the Yankees through Miller Huggins for the great est piece of luck of his life. He told his experience yesterday and it came about in this way:
 After enlisting in the navy he was assigned to the League Island Navy yard, and naturally enough, pitched for the baseball team.
 s5AIn due course he had a furlough and under urging from Miller Hug gins pitched a couple of games for ] the Yankees under q ruling which made this possible and so missed an important game or two that the League Island Navy yard team was anxious 10 win
 As punishment he was quickly as signed to sea duty and, using the , words Of Shawkey himself. was lucky enough to see the surrender of the German fleet in the North Sea-a wonderful sight, which l will not for get to my dying day"
 He then remarked: 'If every pun ishment brought such luck what 2 happy world this woodd be- ! Col. Huston in greeting Shawke1 expressed surprise that every base ball player was not dressed in khak or blue, and later, on hearing hf' story, congratulated him on seeing Germanys greatest humiliation ant < the most striking marine picture Il the history of tke world.
 shawlIey is now on the Arkansas which is resting quietly in the Hud son River off 72d Street since her re turn a few days ago from foreigr waters He says he, expects to b' mustered out before the spring train ing trip of the Yankees begins anc assured Col. Huston that his arm wa as strong as ever.
 If Shawkey pitches as well nex season as he diG in 1917 he will be big help to the Yankees fin their figh for the American League pennant.

Contest Will Be Held in New Orleans For
 Worlds Title.

Billy Miske has agreed to meet Jack Dempsey in a 20-round bout at New Orleans for the worlds heavy weight title" says a telegram from the Crescent City. The message adds that Jess Willard will be ignored"
 All very well. Very well as fsttc spectacle and very well, since a long fight may clear up the heavy weight tangle some, but why should Hon. Willard be ignored" Willard is the champion. No man can take that away from him without" hitting him hard enough on the chin to knock him from under his crown. Until Willard makes a definite an rouncement about relinquishing the title he Is entitled to it and to say that he is going to be ignored" in | this coming 2O-round bout flor the title" is only going to make Jess bust right out In q laugh and make the sporting world bust with him.
 For advertising purposes 1t is all right to say that Jess is to be given i the rush." Anything could be claim | cd in this coming bout They might 1 even go so far as to say that Jess l was to be relieved of his citizenship. | They could likewise say that the cir GUS, his lands and his oil wells were | to so to the winner of this bout.
 There will be a lot Of keen interest | in a 20-round bout between Dempsey | and Miske. To date Willie Is abou | the only big fellow who has beer able to duck and dodge a knockou at the hands of Dempsey. Little | Willie Meehan also should be num- l hered In connection with the Society of Dempsey survivors. He Is one mar in this world who believes that fight. Ing Jack Dempsey is a happier oc 1 cupation than being Iadle man at {
 strawberry festival. Dempsey's sIeeI | dealing punches haven't the slightes terror for pudgy wudgy Wullee.
 Miske of course Is a far differen
 sort of a warrior than Meehan, U
 to the time that Dempsey bounded
 into f1stlana like a greyhound com
 ing through a papared hoop. Misk
 W, on & parity with Fulton as
 heavy weight contender.
 Dempsey has failed to knockou
 Miske in two tries. All the othe
 heavyweights, including the formid
 able Fulton, have been knocke
 over like ninepins. Perhaps Misk
 might fight to greater advantage in
 long fight. By keeping his chin ou
 of the path of Dempsey's comet-lik
 fists for the first ten rounds, h
 might go on and outpoint or possibl
 weaken Dempsey to the point of . knockout
 Keen observers of Dempsey's fight ing VOW that he tires as the figh progresses. For long time he wa } looked upon as strictly a four-roun l man. His best work has been don ) in the early sessions. Wherefor | there is no telling what Miske migh ; accomplish if he could hurdle tn . first half of the route. For that req } son alone it will be an interestin and an attractive bout.

HUN TROPHIES
 FOR THIS STATE

Hartford, Jan. All of Connect- cuts 168 war bureaus have been ir- formed by the Connecticut State Council of Defense to advise the council immediately if a German trophy is desired,
 The Defense Council has been in formed that the Ordnance Depart ment is planning to bring to this country a large number of captured German trophies, and that it will be possible to obtain some for Connecti cut. The Defense Council points out to war bureaus that it is quite .essen- tial that any town desiring anything of this sort shall say so without de- lay so that the council may put in the request within a few days.
 The notice of the possibility of get- ting trophies has gone to all the states, and the first applications reaching Washington will have the best chance of being favorably acted upon.
 Collins has done great deal for Full 1 ton since he has had him. In his fight with Jack Dempsey, Fulton re- 1 ceived 5000 for his end. A difference in the weight ques- ton and also of money matters is the only thing that stands in the way of | the match being arranged between l Joe Yelling and Willie Jackson to be decided at the Olympia A. A. of Philadelphia on next Monday night. i Frankie Britt was to have fought Jackson, but he is in too nervous a condition to train for the bout and
 asked that a substitute be secured l for him.
 Application has been made before
 Judge Albert F. Hayden in the Rox-
 bury, Mass, district court for a war
 rant charging manslaughter against
 Young Frankie Britt of New Bedford
 who was the opponent of Terry Me
 Govern of Philadelphia in a boxing
 bout Monday, when the latter wat
 fatally injured.
 In a letter to Silvey Burns, Mike
 Collins, the Minneapolis promoter
 Says that immediately upon Mike | O'Dowd's return from overseas he
 will try to arrange match between the middleweight champion ane Frank Carbone, the aggressive mid dleweight O'Dowd and Carbon' have had it out on five different O. casions, and in each contest CarboR' gave ODowd a stiff battle.
