For long time it was deemed fantastic

a sitting posture Mr.. Reed fitted that

Pete Hartley Meets
 Valger in New Haven

New Haven, Nov. 11-New Haven is to revive boxing Friday night, the night before the Ya1e-Princeton foot ball classic, when the Elm City will be crowded with visitors and those bent on having a good time. The Arena Amusement corporation, a new ly organized club, will present Pete Hartley of Derby, the Durable Dane, and Benny Walger, of New York, the a decision.
 Hartley has often boxed in New Haven and about the state. He is decidedly popular and his recent per formance in New Orleans showed him to be in better shape than ever be- fore and going at top speed. The last time Hartley showed in this state was when he knocked out his old rival, Chic Brown, in Derby, not long ago and that night the Durable Dane looked very good.
 Valgar has never shown in New Haven. He is a fashy boxer with quite a reputation and fans in New Haven and about the state are anxi- ous to see him In a bout against Hart ley.
 Joe Currie, a New Haven light weight, will meet Frankie Wilson, o1 Bridgeport in the ten round semi final bout. There will be pre1iminar- ies between New Haven and New York boys. Dave Fitzgerald will be the referee.

LUQUE PLAYS EXHIBITION BALL DESPITE PROTEST

New York, Nov. 10.-Ado1fo Luque, the tempermental Cuban bean ball pitcher on the roster of the Cincinnati champions, is receiving the attention of the National Commission these days because of his persistence in the matter of playing winter ball in and about Havana. It seems that when the Reds received their worlds series money they signed agreements not to take part in exhibition games this fall: perhaps Luque. didn't read the agreement before appending his sig nature: perhaps he couldn't read it. At any rate as soon as he reached his home town he signed with one of the Cuban teams and has been play ing ever since. August Herman, as chairman of the commission cabled Adolfo to desist, but to date Adolfo hasn't given Garry a. tumble, but goes 'bithely on his way. Just what will be done about it remains to be seen.
 As a matter of fact it is generally believed that the rule prohibiting the participation in exhibition games by
 members of the worlds champion ship club applies to the players as a groug and not individuals. There can be no serious objection to Luque playing ball in Cuba, or anywhere else for that matter. For the Cincinnati tf's club to do the same thing would be. as Abe Potash would Say 'sSomethine eleSe, again.

MORE ACTION
 IN MAYS CASE
 DUE THIS WEEK

New York, Nov. 11.-This week may
 bring important developments in the
 controversy over the Carl Mays case, -by which the government of organ
 ized baseball has been torn asunder.
 Unless the National Commission
 agrees to pay to the Yankees the
 money due them for finishing in third
 place In the American League pen nant race-a sum aggregating SIS, ,000 I-Colonels Ruppert and Huston, own
 CTS of the New York club, will attack Johnson again in the courts.
 Although Johnson did not sign the commission decision recently an nouncing that the American League itself would have to decide the matter of the Navin protest against giving the Tanks their money, it is apparent that Johnson is behind this latest move against the Tanks. A writ of
 mandamus doubtless will be the means by which the commission will be compelled to turn over the money due the Tanks and which already has been awarded them by the directors of the American League.
 Johnson is treading treacherous ground. His opponents are working diligently to prepare their next of fensive, the main objective of which is the doddering Tsar's old gray scalp. 1uey Will not rest unlll JOuISOu : power is broken and they are able to restore order from the chaos into
 which the current fight is plunging the government of the sport.
 Talk Of a third big league to be or ganized by the anti-Johnson faction of the National and American leagues is dying out. It was not taken seri- ously from the first because it is only Johnson the progressive club owners are after and not the ruination of the whole fabric of baseball.

PLAZA.

Those who love the best in photo plays can't afford to miss Tom Mix ill '"The Speed Maniac" now being shown at the Plaza theatre, with as clever lot of "stunts' as many thrills and as pretty a love story as was ever seen in this town on the screen. There's a real auto race in this play, a real boxing match, a real runaway and rescue, an element of mystery and suspense that holds you throughout the feature.
 Larry Harkins and His Melody Monarchs sure can play and sing to the Plaza audiences satisfaction, as was demonstrated by the applause they received. Fred La Tell and Elsie vokes, presenting "The Pensive Pup" went big. Their offering is novel and the girl has an excellent singing voice. Harvey and Francis, a man and woman, in songs and dances, offered much that was new and their work was round1y applauded. \ Dreon Girls in artistic songs, have a neat little act that is well presented.

EXTRA SPORTING NEVIS
EVEN MONEY ON
 PRINCETON ID
 WIN FROM YALE

New York, Nov. 11-Rrinc nceton's fashback to the heights against Har- ward not only provided another stag gering surprise for the analysis but sent Nassaus hopes of conquest over Yale soaring high enough to kiss the drear autumna1 skies.
 Where a week ago the Tiger was considered a puny foeman, for the Blue, today finds Princeton rehabiit- ated and buIging like a blinp with the urge Of victory.
 On the face of its amazing achieve ments against the Crimson, the Or ange and Black already is being fla vored in our best critical circles to outstrip the Blue-if it maintains at New Haven the smashing pace it set last Saturday.
 In football, as in baseball and oth- CT trials of sport, this has been an ex- traordinary year-a stretch of cam paigning bristling with astonishing overturns.
 Invariably the favorite on the gridiron or the diamond has drawn the caress of fickle Fate where the barber deftly trims the badger hair cut.
 Never, perhaps, has the futiltty of predicting accurately the outcome of important contests been so apparent as today. Old Doc Time is the only expert who never nuffs, so we'll leave to him the task of picking the winner for us.
 However, Princeton's stock is leap ing on the football bourse. If the Tiger was good enough to hold Har- ward to a tie after outplaying the Crimson in the first half, Princeton adherents see no reason why they cannot overthrow the Blue.
 But it requires no lingering size-up of the rival elevens, their star per formers, their achievements against early autumn foenen to conclude that Princeton at least should be an even } money choice to win.
 If for no other reason than its splendid playing against Colgate and Harvard, in which games the Tiger rose to twin peaks of perfection, the conservative observer would be tustt- fled in ranking the Tiger and Blue at par.
 It behooves the Blue to spare no efforts in the process of grooming It. self against it's first real test of the campaign. The Tiger uncovered an assault of hurricane force, in which the overhead attack varied with dag ger thrusts a [ the Hanks, with amaz- ing results.
 Pr3nceton's game was not fawless, to be sure Unkempt tackling mar red their play at the outset, but to- ward the end the Tigers gave clean CT exhibition. But, regardless of un- tidy tackling, the Tiger defence was a miniature Hindenburg line. replete with wire netting and all the rest of it. And against such a defence the Blue certainly will have no soft pink tea

JOTTINGS

Somewhere in the big town there are two men who have what they call a motion picture exchange. The sign in front of their door should read "The Original Potash and Perl mutter.' They are some pair and then some. To spend a day with them in the office is a delight. As to being comedians they have no equal and they're both serious and take themselves serious at all times.
