yALE'S SHOWING AGAINST
 BOSTON SHOCK ID FANS
New Haven Eleven Appeared Slow and Displayed Many aults Which Must Be Corrected-Murphy and
 Kempton Stars of Team

Kew Haven, Oct. 20-Stranger things have happened, but surely, the defeat of the Yale eleven on Satur- day by the Boston college team, com ing as it did, like bolt out of a blue sky, has given football critics throughout the country food for thought.
 Without doubt, the Blue team played a very poor game, and the coming week will see some drastic changes in the methods of their at. tack and defense. When interview = ed yesterday Head Coach Al Sharpe had the following statement to make: Boston College won because they played the better football of the two teams. Opportunities which came to Yale were not taken advantage of, while the Boston players made the most of theirs, and won the game as the result As far as state ments go, this sums the whole situa- ton up in a nutshell, but the powers in charge will have to show better results before the Princeton and Harvard games to regain the spirit of confidence which has been manifest ed in Eli football circles up to the present time.
 One of the severest blows handed the Yale team was the crippling of Thorne Murphy, the promising quarterback, who has shown so bril- Hantly of late. With the score to 0 against Sharpe's charges, the son of Mike Murphy, the famous trainer, was called into the game in the third period in place of LaRoche. His en- try was hailed with a roar of ap- plause from the partisan Yale crowd. His appearance was a life saver for the Blue, as he started auspiciously by dropping a beautiful field goal over the bars from the 42-yard line, and sent the Yale eleven into the lead by a score of 3-2. Shortly after he made a spectacular 60-yard run, but unfortunately was called back by some off-side tactics of the line men.
 On the next play after French had punted Murphy got into a jam while trying to block off the Boston play CTS and his left leg was badly jam

OF
 JACKSON N-GODDARD BATTLE

Peter Jackson and Joe Goddard fought an eight-round draw at Mel bourne on this date in 1890. This contest was between two of the best heavyweights Australia ever turned out. Both were sixfooters, and their weight was about the same, in the neighborhood of 195 pounds When he fought Goddard the great Black Peter had just returned to Australia from a triumpha1 tour of the world, on which he had defeated all corners in America and England. Goddard, who was about the same age as Peter had fought only in his native Australia. Soon after his bout with Goddard, Jackson returned to Amer ica to fight his memorable 61-round draw with Jim CorbeCt. After twice knocking out Joe Choynski in Aus tralia, Goddard crossed the Pacific in 1892. He knocked out Joe McAuiffe and Peter Maher but was himself knocked out by Denver Ed'' Smith. Both Jackson and Goddard are dead, the latter having been killed in an election rookus in Philadelphia

med. Trainer Johnny Mack helped
 the injured player off the field and
 Chick Neville took his place at
 Quarterback.
 He had 8 spIintered left leg and he
 was carried from the field amid the
 deafening cheers of the crov-5. It
 was learned last night that an X-ray
 had been taken of the injury, and
 that Murphy would be lost to the
 team until after the Brown game. It
 was at first thought that he would be
 unable to play again this year, but
 the physicians in charge confidently hope that he would be on the firing line for the big frays in November
 Jim Braden, the sturdy fulIback, was
 also forced to retire from the game
 with @ badly damaged eye. It is ex- pected that he will be in trim for
 next Saturdays game.
 The stumbling block in Yale's road to victory was none other than Capt Jimmy Fitzpatrick, who put the blys from the Bean Town in the lead with
 a wonderful field goal in the last pc riod from the 45-yard line Whenever occasion demanded, his long elusive
 punts had the Yale boys guessing
 most of the time. But that one swing of Fftz's powerful left foot spelled de- feat for the Blue, as the pigskin TO- tated gracefully over the uprights with amazing accuracy. It was said to be the longest field goal which has ever been scored in the Bowl
 In Jack Heapny, Coach Cavanaugh has a wonderful center and it would no tbe a surprise if he got some con- sfderatio from the gridiron experts on their All-American teams He had Acosta, the Yale center, so badly wor- ried throughout the contest that he was unable to find the range for his passes to F'ranch and was directly the cause for the first score the Boston Iboys registered.
 The entire team still seems to be in a preliminary stage of development The plays used Saturday were few, and to certain degree simple. There were no ground gaining plays shown that would benefit the team substan-
 tially, and LaRoche at quarterback. showed poor judgment on sevedal oc-

New York, Oct 20-Jack Curley is back in town, and natudally, there is an announcement of Q big Wrest- ling match to come.

 This match will be the first of a series of contests which Jack says he is going to put on in the Garden this winter.
 "T've searched the field thorough Iy for good, promising material for wrestling shows, said Curley last night, and I think I've found some comera. There's one little fellow who, for his weight, is the most mar velIous man I've ever seen on the mat. He's no bigger than Earl Cad dock, but o my, can't that fellow 'rassIe'!

Manager Jacobs, who looks after the interests of Benny Valger, the French champion, was in the city to- day to make arrangements for his boy who will tackle Frankie Britt in the star bout of the boxing show to be held at the Casino Oct. 27 under the auspices of the Union Boat club.

PLAYERS WILL
 DEMAND MORE
 PAY NEXT YEAR

New York, Oct 2O-Persons ac- quainted intimately with bail players are predicting that the chickens matched during the recent eight game worlds series will come home. to roost before the winter is over. In other words, magnates will hear a lot about that three-quarter of a mil lion worlds series when 1t comes time to talk terms with the players.
 That half million dollar worlds series of 1912 gave birth to the Fed eral League. At least, that series started the idea of a, third major league. and the gate receipts of that eight game clash between the Giants and the Red Sox was the stock argu- ment of Jim Gilmore when he was inducing men like Robert Ward Charles Weeghman and Sinclair to invest fortunes in his rainbow circuit.
 The fate of the Federal League probably will deter any one who has ambitions toward starting a third major league for some time, but there is no telling what will happen in baseball One thing is certain, name ly, that the players intend to get in on the prosperity wave that hit the game last season.
 One already hears such remarks as well, they'll have to come across next winter We were working for wartime salaries and they took in more money than ever before"
 In a measure that is true. Salaries were lower last year than any time since the Federal League war raised the remuneration of the players to artificial figures. But it also is true that many clubs used their 1919 sur plus to pay off debts contracted dur ing the lean baseball years that fol- lowed Americas entry in the world war. For the first time since buying the Yankees in 1915 Co.'s. Ruppert and Huston are ahead of the game. Their profits last year made up the losses of other years and left a mar N gjn to their credit.

 Pat is distinctly opposed to any more nine-game series, and the re- cent battling has shown him the folly of extending the original plan of games. He says that interest is away after five or six games, and the strain is too much for everybody con- cerned. He admits, too, that even the poor newspaper men have feelings in this regard.
 It is stated unofficia11y that all Cin- cinnati has arisen and demanded that Pat be given a life berth with the Cincinnati club. At any rate the di- rectors of the Reds are going to meet next week and vote Patrfcius a con- siderable salary boost. So Pat should worry.

PRINCETON TEAM PREPARES FOR
 COLGATE NEXT

Princeton, N. J., Oct. 2o-While Saturdays victory over Rochester is not regarded by the coaches as being indicative of any particular strength on the part of the Tiger eleven, yet Coach Roper expressed himself as satisfied with the progress made by the team last week. The whole coaching staff is alive to the great improvement that must be accom- pIished if Princeton is to make any sort of a showing against Colgate in the first of the important games here next Saturday. The erd prob lem is a serious one and the Poch- ester game did little toward solving it. The team also exhibited a lack of good substitute line material. which is likely to prove disastrous with four big games hoving into sight on four successive Saturdays.
 The athletic mana cement is nak- ing elaborate plans for handling a big crowd of Prince Lon adherGnts next week. The. Colgate contest has taken the place of the Dartmouth game on the Tiger schedule, and this fall looms up as one of the most inn portant Eastern gridirou battles. The Dartmouth game always has attract ed a, large number of football fans to Princeton.

Rath of Reds Gave
 Surprise to Critics
 By His Series Play

When the experts doped out the individual players - White Sox and Reds-for the Worlds Series, they had to compare Morris Rath against Eddie Collins, his rival second sacker, and there they said the SoN had all the best of it. But you can't always tell. Rath didn't suffer any by com parison when the actual play was put on. It so happened that in batting he and Collins ran a dead heat, but in defensive play the Reds second baseman had it on his more famous rival decidedly.
 He held up his end wonderfully well-and there was no weak link in the Reds line at second base. Add, therefore, the name of Morris Rath to the list of players who have made good in Worlds Series and who are entitled to wear the diamond medal.
 Add also the name of Morris Rath to the benedicts, for after the series was over the Cincinnati second base man took unto himself a bride. The bride was Miss Edna Morton of Chi cago. They were married on October Il and will make their home in Phil adelphia. They do say MT. Rath pre- sented his bride with his World s Series check as a wedding present.

Bridgeport Thistles
 Lose Soccer Contest

New Haven, Oct. 2O-The Bridge port Thistles went down to a sting ing defeat at soccer by the score of s to 0 at Beaver park yesterday after noon before one of the largest crowds that ever witnessed a game of asso- ciation football in New Haven It was a genuine whitewash and Bridgeport could offer no legitimate reason for their defeat other than the fact that the New Haven players were the bet ter aII-around team.
 At no time were the visitors really dangerous, New Haven forcing the play all through the game. The Bridgeports were twice penalized and that enabled Jenkins to score twice for the home team. Casey's work was decidedly off color and Cap per would have been fully justified in taking him off the field.

EDDIE REILLY
 HELPS GLEES
 DEFEAT LAKES

Eddie Reilly, the former Chain Go. star, played with the Washington Glees of New Haven yesterday and helped them beat the Lake Torpedo team, 19 to o. The contest was a give and take affair, and one of the best exhibitions of football seen on the Rock grounds in years.
 Until the last minute of the game the score was 12 to in favor of the GIees, but a prettily executed for ward pass, thrown by Eddie Reilly, the Glees quarter, and caught by Gibbons, the Hill boys halfback, re- suited in another score after Gib- bons' run of 35 yards down the field and across the Bridge porters' line.
 For the Torpedos Hickey and Kuba was the stars. Kuba raced around the GleeS end in the second half for 51 yards, passing the entire Glee club outfit, when tackled by CoOgan.
 The work of the GIee club team yesterday afternoon was considerable of an improvement over that of two weeks ago when the Hill Boys mot and defeated the Hartford Ramblers Yesterday a large variety of plays was resorted to by Eddie Reilly, who mixed them up in Q manner which at times baffIed their sturdy Bridgeport opponents. Cross tackle plays, end runs, double passes and forward pass, worked in a, manner which clearly in dicated that the Glees had been put through some intensive training dur ing the past two weeks, kept the BrIdgeporters continuously on the jump.
