SHOWS MARKED INTEREST
 IN SPORTS 9f YEARS

Up in Minnesota there lives prob ably the oldest active baseball fan in the United States; There are many xetersu ia ,4but it is doubtful whether any lJf9 them show quite the same degree of enthusiasm as that man fested by Cord King, who is in his ninety-first year and still de- llglLs as much as ever in roofing for the home team"
 MT. King was a fan when the Cin- cinnatl Red Stockings first won fame, back in 1869, but he also was fan years before the war iii Chicago.
 Three years ago MT. King fell and broke his right hip, but that did not discourage, in the least, his interest m sports. Rather it appeared to height en and make his attendance at all sport events more regular, if possible. he IS an arden follower of the St. Paul team in the American associa- tion, although now he lives in a sur buruan town, Owatonna. And he IS ewise a trGhnt admirer of that other St. Paul championship product, Mike / bbons.
 In lle early days MT. King did a great deal of hunting and trappings and as he is d delightful converse tionalist, it is Interesting, indeed to hear his "reminiscences of those days when the Indians were won't to enter hs pioneers cabin and, iii measured gutturals, talk to him Of the hunting fields. He never misses ball game within accessible distance and until his injury he was active in promoting baseball team in his home town a team which by the way4 originally produced Rube Schauer, Burleigh Grims, Walter Dyer, Lefty Morse and others who later went to the big top. Back in 's6 the team had for one sea son Time Keefe. Roger Denzer, Duke Reilly, Ed Clatr, Bobby Brush and Andy Oyler as members and cleaned up everything in sght.

EAST NOW PRODUCTIVE
 OF HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPS

While the East has been extremely active in bedecking itself with cham pionships in most lines of athletic en- deavor it has been decidedly tardy in one. Not since the days when John L. Sullivan jauntily sported the heavyweight crown on his pompadour has this section of the country boast ed leader in that division. Start ing his career in the old days, of bare knuckle fighting On the turf. he grad- uated into the mode of Marquis of Queensberry boxing and lost his title to James J. Corbett at New Orleans on September T. 1892. For 27 years the East has never been able to produce a heavyweight capable of winning the championship.
 Following Sullivan upon N, throne have been: James J. Corbett, who came from San Francisco; Bob Fitz- simmons of Australia; James J. Jeff fries of Los Angeles; Marvin Hart, recognized successor to J efferieS when the latter announced his retirement from the ring, who hailed from Louis vile; Jack Johnson. of Galveston, Tex; Jess Willard of Kansas and Jack Dempsey, whose home Is now in Utah.
 Thus have seven champions blazed their way along the heavyweight trail since it was last trod by man claiming the East as his home And city and claims it as his home town. At this time there s no Eastern championship prospect doing business in the division. . e>, ssffi
 In other boxing divisions this sec tion of the country has not fared so badly. Of the champions in the sev- e ndivisions at this time three of them are from the east; in fact all three are from New York The fol- lowing are the divisions. champions ard their homes:- 4 r.
 Bantamweight. Peter Herman, New Orleans.
 Featherweight. Johnny Kilbane, of Cleveland.
 Lightweight, Benny Leonard, New York Ets
 Welterweight, Jack Britton, New York F.
 Middlewtight Mike ODowd, St. Palu.
 Light-heavyweight, Battling Levin sky. New York
 Heavyweight, Jack Dempsey, E;alt Lake.
 Some there may be who will take exception to including Jack Britton among those representing the East as he formerly made his home in Chi cago, having started boxing while a newsboy in that city, but for the last several years Br.tton has lived in this part of the country.

sYAcusE HANDS RUTGERS
 A BAD DRuRRING

New York. Nov. 4-Syracuse univer- sity defeated Rutgers college in their annual football game at the Polo grounds this afternoon by a score of IA 10 O. The Orange eleven proved entirely too strong, both extensively and defensively. for the New Jersey combination, and the Syracuse goal line was in danger on only one occa- sion. when Baker. the Rutgers quar- terback. intercepted a forward pass and .sprinted into a clear field, only to be brought to ground by Ackley, who overlook him after a long run.
 Play during the first two periods was confined almost entirely between the two 25 yard lines. In the third period Syracuse uncovered a puzzling overhead attack which quickly scored when Abbott's lateral pass to Ackley was in turn thrown 35 yards forward 10 Schwarzer. who dashed across the line for a touchdown. from which Ackley kicked goal.
 With Rutgers secondary defense forced to play far back to guard against this for of advance, Syracuse in the final period gained half the length of the field on two successive end runs and battered it's way over the last 10 yards for its second touchdown by Erwig. which Ackley again turned into goal.

 only after a touchback, and he wanted to. use it. In the course of the game the Indians made a free catch at mid field and wanted to play from scrifn- mage. Sanford shouted that they | would have to kick: So the Indians kicked. One big redskin place kicked a goal, from the 56 yard line and won the game. Sharp practice worked for nothing.
