WILLIAMS BEAT WATERBURY
 EASILY

New Haven, Nov. M.---Befo-e
 rowd of over four thousand enthu- siastic football fans, the Williams downed All-Waterbury yesterday af- ternoon at the Lighthouse grounds for -1e second time this season by 16 to 0. The game was a pang-up bait 4 from he sound of the whistle unul the final play. Itswas a good example of a fast clever team against a much larger and individual star aggrega- tion. The Brass City eleven had been augmented with college stars and showed lack of work together. There was no doubt as to their indi- viduel ability, but they sadly lacked the finish in their work which comes only from constant and deligent prac- tice
 The one outstanding star of the gaT1a was Hank Hanlon, the local quarterback. Seldom has an exhibi- ton of open field running been seen in this city, which could equal that shown by Hanlon during his stay in the game. On several occasions, after catching punts, he would run the ball back for 20 or 25 yards through the Nntire first defense of the upstate team. In addition to his spectacular field work, he dropped beautiful feild goal over in the second period and showed good judgment in run ming the team on all occasions

KILBANE MAY
 TACKLE vALCER
 IN JERSEY CITY

New York, Nov. 24t-John Pat rick KiIbane of Cleveland, theSmain racket in the 122-pound class, hav- ing become convinced to some ex- tent by the recent election returns that the Forest City public, at least, would prefer having him as the worlds feather champ than as a pol itician, has decided to return to the pastime in which he is one Of the brightest particular stars.
 Several days ago, in report of Cleveland manufacture, it was said that John P. had severed his con- nectfon with his mentor, Jimmy Dunn, and would Ego it alone" in the future Yesterday in another made in Cleveland yarn, John P. was reported as having patched up what differences may have existed between himself and the chap who escorted him from comparative ob- scurity to the top of the feather weight pile. By which we gather that John P. is on the eve of inaugural ing one of the most strenuous cam paigns within the hempen enclosure in which he has ever engaged.
 Kilbane 'Iaid off his manifesto tions of the Queensbury art for two years while the late unpleasantness across the pond was the main topic of conversation, and returned to the ring early this year in Phila delphia- He figured in five or six bouts-in- cluding the one with Frankie Burns in Jersey City-but his attentions were not centred on accommodating any added pugilistic glory. It was the lure of easy money which induc- ed KiIbane to display himself in the ring. John P. was gazing with fond anticipation toward certain Mo- vember day, when he would be elected alderman in Cleveland. Then he would hang up the gloves forever and anon. But-"the best laid plans of mice and men John P. was trimmed to the proverbial frazz1e.
 Just who Kilbane's first opponent { will be is not known at this time; neither Is the location of the club in which he will appear, nor the date But Dave DriscolI, Jersey City's de. bane Burns affair, has been in close touch with the C1eve1ander for sev- era1 days, and yesterday expressed himself as supremely confident that he will be the gent to secure one o1 the biggest of present-day fistic at fractions, one for which scores o1 promoters throughout the country have been dickering for months "a bout between Kilbane and Ben. ny Valger, the frantic and Mustered French Flash.
 The bout, if Dave is successful 1T inducing K1lbane to meet Valger- and there is no obvious reason why John P. should decline to stack LII against Valger-will be held in tht Fourth Regiment Armory of Jersey City about the middle of December

PAL MOORE IS
 NOT CHEERING
 FOR MR. WILDE

New York, Nov. 24-There is one young man in America who is not enthusiastic over Jimmy Wilde, and his name is Pal Moore. It would seem that Moore has become peeved over the attention paid to the cham pion, and the Memphian unburdens himself in the appended communica- tion to the writer:
 I have been reading the interest ing articles concerning Jimmy Wilde, England's greatest little man. Il must say that I am quite interested in MT. Wilde-more so than ever perhaps. because of his arrival in America. On two occasions I made the trip to London for the purpose of playing in his back yard and like a good kid didn't get mad when I got the worst of it, and it now gives me pleasure to welcome him to my back yard, and I hope I will have the pleasure of entertaining him before his return to England T
 T, more than any one else in the world have reason to respect Jim my. As a member of the United States Navy I won a three round de- cision over him in the interal1ied box ing tournament at Albert Hall, De- eember 12, 1918. Then again I fought him twenty rounds July IT of this year, Wilde being awarded the decision by Referee Corri. Regard ing that decision there always has been great doubt not only in the mind of the sporting public, but in my own mind, as to it's absolute cor rectness. But that is all in the box ing game. You have to take the good with the bad.
 So much has been said and writ ten about the disparity in our weights that feel injustice to myself that I should make the statement that this IS all fiction. When boxed hin, 20 rounds in London I weighed IA 1-2 pounds, or, as they say in dear old London eight stone two and a half, Jimmy Wilde weighed seven stone eleven and a half, which is 1o7 1-a common United States weight
 Tn regard to Wi1de's assertion that he can and will make 100 pounds for bout if by that he means that he can make 100 pounds and be in con < dition to fight any of the 1legitinnat te first or second class bantan1s now be- fore the public in this country, will take his bet and post the money with your paper

Peter Maher, the perpetual Irish champion some years ago had an iron wa1lop and a glass jaw. Be- tween the two qualities Maher was one of the most uncertain perform CTS the ring has ever known. eAnd because he was always dangerous as likely to knock out a world cham pion as he was to be scuttled by a ..dub''-Peter was one of the best attractions the ring ever had. Ma her was probably the hardest hit ter-not even barring the present Dempsey and Fitzsimm ons-that ever tied on appalled, mitt. With g little more accuracy in placing his hits Maher, despite his tender jaw, would have been a champion. But because he couldn't always connect and because the other fellow usual ly did Maher was placed in a monde script class by himself. Maher was knocked out by middleweights but he gave the best heavyweights bitter arguments. He will always be re- membered as ''The Perpetual Irish Champion''-tae man with the wall lop
 Peter was first discovered in Ire- land by John Madden when Sullivan was enjoying his paimy days. Peter was tossing barrels about in brew cry and engaging in a few bouts on the other side when Madden crossed his path Madden was greatly i'm pressed by Maher's tremendous hit ting powers which he displayed in

Cincinnati Is Afraid
 Giants Plan Big Deal

Cincinnati baseball scribes are busy telling the followers of the worlds champion Reds that Nc Graw is planning to pull off two big deals this winter that will make the Giants dangerous antagonists. The Porkville critics say that they will not be surprised to learn that Mo Graw has obtained Rogers Hornsby to play third base and Rabbit Mar anville to succeed Art Fletcher at shortstop. They also insist that F'risch will play second base for the Giants and that Hal Chase will re- main at the first corner. Larry Doyle, according to the Cincinnati writers, will manage the St. Louis Cardinals in 1920.
 Similar scare stories could, of course, be written concerning evrey other team in the National League, but the Cincinnatians have just picked on the New Workers, and that's all there is to 1t.

Come get up, Peter!'' urged his seconds.
 ''No more for mel" quoth Peter who explained hat h was willing to fight any man on earth. But that man." continued Pster. pointing to Fitz's corner, 'is the 'divir himself in disguise!'' It is an actual fact that was unconvinced that he was not beaten by some supernatural-being Four years later, however Peter de- cided to meet the ''DeviP' again. This time Fitz didn't give Maher a chance to quit on his stool. Peter took a genuine knockout in just 95 seconds when he appeared to be winning.
 But Peter Maher went right along fighting. His battle with Gus Ruh- lin who afterwards fought Jim Jeff fries for the championship was one of the hardest fought on record. It ended in a draw
 One of Maher's best exhibitions. and representing one insctance in which fortune beamed on him, was his quick defeat of Joe Kennedy. Joe Kennedy isn't known to most fol- lowers of the ring except as a spar ring partner to Jim .Jeffries. He never was champion-but he might have been had it not been for Pet CT Maher and his awful punch. Ken nedy was a champion who never ar rived simply because he underesti- mated the power of Maher's punch

Yale Gloomy But No Blame For Sharpe; Ist Time In 2I Years
 Eli Beaten By 2 Old Rivals

definable feeling of optimism, or rath- CT there is not total Encouragement. Every year after 'the big games are over one of the Big Three tries to for get the past and starts anticipating the next season, and Yale, true to form, is looking forward to 1920. Many of the best men, including Braden, Gait, Reinhardt, Allen, Cal lahaa, Neville and Dicllen, are grad uating, but around Kempton, AL drlch, Lay, Acosta and Walker the undergraduates are expecting to see great machine built for 1920.
 Most noticeable of all is the lack Of criticism of Head Coach "AI' Sharpe.
 Already several news writers have begun to place blame on him. Wheth- CT the undergraduates believe blame is due there or not one cannot tell. Not one word of reproach or censure has been heard and it looks as if Yale is satisfied with him in spite of his failure to produce a winning team. They cannot understand the defeat, but they are not criticizing g Dr. Sharpe.
 It might be said in passing. how ever, that the wild rumors about there being dissenSion in the Yale campus, about the men losing respect for their head coach and refusing to obey his orders are absolutely groundless. Dr. Sharpe was in supreme command here up to the last He has a con- tract for a term of years and will stay. This can be stated on the best of authority.

ACCO'S DEFEAT LAKE ELEVEN
 IN HARD FOUGHT GAME 13-O
Moshier Stars With 40 Yard Run for Touchdown With One Minute to Play-Kuba and Dennis
 Shine for Lake

The famous fighting spirit and courage shown by Yale and other college elevens when facing tremen- dous odds had nothing on what the plucky little Lake crowd showed against their heavier rivals, the Acco eleven, at Newfield Park yesterday when they lost to the latter by the score of 13-0.
 Although outweished about 20 pounds to man and under num- Der of other disadvanges, they show ed plenty of a gameness and with Hippo Dennis knowledge of the Acco eleven's signals they put up a battle that wasn't expected by nearly every fan present
 Dennis, who played with the Acco crowd earlier in the season, knew all the latter's signals and it was he who halted the Acco's march nearly every time they started. Although no credit must be taken away from Dennis playing by this fact, he was the big gest torpedo in the Submarine crowd, making a number of gains and was half the team on the defense.
 The feature of the game was n the
 The feature of the game was in the last quarter with one minute to play, Moshier brought the crowd to their feet when he broke through the Lakes line and ran 40 yards for a touchdown, making one of the pret- tiest runs ever made on a local grid iron. Kuba, the Lakes crack half back, was right on Moshier's heels for 20 yards but Moshier proved the speedier- of the two and cleverly lodged Kuba's flying tackle and put the ball oyer.
 The Lakes started off strong after receiving the kickoff and made two first downs before they were halted, sweeping the Acco crowd off their feet to their surprise.
 The other score was made in the second half when Bakos sent pretty forward pass that bounced off two Lake players heads into the hands of Hunt who carried it the remaining 10 yards for a touchdown.
 Hickey missed drop kick. from the 45-yard line in the second period and Brady also kicked wild; these were the only attempts by either side for a field goal.
 The much heralded open play that the Submarine builders were going to pull off wasn't even tried, the Lakes men attempted one forward pass, the one. O'Reilly grabbed and ran back 10 yards and that started Hunt over the line for sig points.
 No penalties were passed out, this being the first game ever played at Newfeld where a referee hadn't a chance to get the royal razz.
