Accos T7anagar Through With New Haven As Playing Eite-Wiu Offer Elm City Team Guarantee
 Of q 5GO to Come Here

The condition of the Lighthouse Point grounds after yesterdays rain convinced Manager Jack Kearney of the American Chain football eleven that 1t would not De advisable to schedule another game with the VII Hams eleven of New Haven for thosa grounds. After it was announced that yes -erday's contest had been post poned Manager Kearney stated that his agreement with the Williams manager ended yesterday and that if the New Haven players wanted a final game with the Chains they must play
 in this city.
 The Chains will offer Mana ger Co-
 den of the Williams eleven q guaran- tee of $1.50O to play in this city. Tn
 order to do that the management will
 be forced to raise the price of adm g.
 sion to SI but it is thought that the fans would rather pay the increased
 price than have the game played out
 0f town.
 Tn addition to the guarantee the Chains are willing to make 3 side bet
 of $500 or s1,O00 on the contest. The local management will insist upon having the option of playing either next Saturday or Sunday, according to the weather conditions. If the Williams management do not accept the offer by Wednesday arrangeme ents will be made to play a game with the Lake Torpedo team as the season s final contest.
 Many fans went to the railroad l station yesterday to go to New Ha- ven but were informed the game had been postponed.

PASSAIC TEAM TO
 PLAY BLUE RIBBONS

The Passaic team, which is leading
 the Interstate league at present, will come to Colonial hall tomorrow night to tackle the Blue Ribbons in a league
 contest which the local players hope will give them an advance in the standing The Passaic line up in- cludes Sedran, one of the fastest for wards in the game, and Friedman a
 crack guard, both of whom were with Utica when that team was sweeping all corners aside.
 Another good man with Passaic Is Newman, who is paired with Sedran on the forward line. Tome at center gave g. fine exhibition the last time he played in this city. Barry, who is well known to local fans, is also with Pas5aic- Manager Leavy of the Rib
 bons was handicapped last week by the absence of Malone, the tall center, who reported that he was sick. Ma ! lone will be on hand tomorrow night which will make it necessary to bench Stewart and put Dehnert back al guard. Reich and Schwaib will play
 forwards and Eddie White, the star goal tosser. will be at guard. The

 PLGY DEFICIT IN SPYING TOUR

Boston, Dec. S-The Boston Braves will train at the Fair Grounds at Columbus, Ga, this spring, as usual. Although Business Manager Hap good, of the Braves, received word yesterday from Columbus, Ga, that the grandstand at the Fair Grounds had been entirely destroyed by fire a few days ago, the Columbus City Council voted that the stand would again be erected and the grounds placed in the best possible condition for the reappearance of George Wash ington Grants team.
 Last season the Braves trained at this same park, and Manager George Stallings voted the park one of the finest locations and fields for any big league team to secure for spring training purposes. At f~Et 1t was re- ported from Columbus that the grandstand would not be rebuilt, but when it was learned that the Braves would not return to Columbus unless the stand was rebuilt and the field put in the best of condition, the Colum- bus City Council unanimously decid- ed to comply with the demands of the Braves mana ~ernent.
 During the coming season the Braves will play Is exhibition games with the Tigers. Business Manager Hapgood made arrangements for the opening game yesterday between these two teams, which will be played at Columbus, March 24.

NO PEACE FOR AMER. LEACUERS
 IN SIGHT YET

New York, Dec 8-As things are shaping now, the Ban Johnson con- tingent in the American League will meet on Wednesday in Chicago. The constitution of the league calls for the annual meetings of the Board of Directors and the full league on the same day. Ban can hold a meeting of the eague-granting that he has the power to issue a call for it, which is in dispute-beCause he has five clubs, or a majority, with him.
 But he can't hold a meeting of the Board of Directors very well, as the only members of that body who will be in Chicago to attend will be him self and MT. Dunn, president of the Cleveland Indians. The majority of the board-Messrs. CoIniskey, Rup- pert and Frazee-wiH be helding the annual meeting of their body here at the Biltnore. So Ban will have to pass up directors meeting and pro ceed with the annual meeting of the league itself.
 On the other hand. the majority of the Board of Directors, after they have met here, will have to forego a meeting of the league in th.s city as only three clubs will be present. They will probably adjourn for lack of ] quorum and await the next move by Johnson. Then on some contested act of either the Johnson meeting or the directors the case will get into the courts again and a judicial expression as to which body had the right to call the annual gathering will be ob- ta ned.
 There doesn't seem the least possi- bility of peace. There was a furry when Garry Hermann came here a month ago, as it was rumored he was bearing an olive branch. Nothing came of that. When Frank Eavin of the Detroit club arrived three or four days ago the wise ones thought the time had come for an armistice But nothing has developed from that.
 Navin is sorry there's war on, thinks it's bad thing for the league ard for baseball and all that, but as far as known he hasn't told the revo- lutionists that Johnson is ready for peace.

Robust Contender for Light weight Title Once Doomed
 as Victim of White Plague.

A victim of tuberculosis at the age of B; the weakling in a family of ten boys; too poor to pay for 8 doctors examination and treat 1hent; kid without a chance"
 Then, at the age of P, one of the most famous athletes of his time; a boxer with the greatest record of knockouts of any pugi- list America ever produced; chal- lenger Of Benny Leonard for the lightweight championship of the world.
 That is the amazing story of Charlie White Of Chicago, before whose famous left hook" many a rugged opponent has gone down to defeat The thousands of ring followers who have seen the Chicago s1ugger in action will find it hard to believe that only a few years ago this same boy was a consumptive living in abject misery in Ghetto tenement-the last human in the world whom a judge of athletic material would have selected for the spotlight.
 Today Charlie White walked in 10 the OIHCSS or the NMCagO 1ubeT- culosis Institute and volunteered his services for the sale Of Red Cross Christmas Seals, December to 10. But ire greatest possible contribution he could make to the seal campaign, in the opinion of the officials, was the telling of his own story For his experience proves that any boy, no matter how frai1 his physique nor how poor he may be in purse. can hang the kno Y put on the dread White Plague, provided he has what Charlie c-lls the proper brand of courage.
 When tuberculosis attacked this boy 1t seemed to have picked an easy victim. The son of a tailor ekeing out an uncertain existence in the Ghetto District of Chicago, Charlie was housed with nine brothers in one room in the very heart of the White Plaques favor ite hunting grounds. He slept in room without window and ate whatever and wherever he could. Ee was just a weakling, and as such he suffered the usual humil- Ations from the youthful bullies

ROVER SOCCER
 TEAM LOSES
 ELM CITY GAME

New Haven, Dec, S-The New Ha- ven Soccer team met the Bridgeport RoVers at Beaver Park yesterday af- ternoon ta regular Connecticut League game and defeated them by the score of seven goals to one. The visitors reported minus one of their players and were handicapped by hay ing to play with ten men throughout the contest. The ground was wet and soggy and not at all favorable to fast football.
 The result still leaves New Haven with an unbeaten record for the sea son, and gives them a big margin in the league standing. The locals were without the services of Montgomery at fuIIback, this player having suffer ed a 15 days suspension by the na- tionaI body for an infringement of the rules on the Thanksgiving Day game with the Bridgeport Swedes.
 The features of yesterdays game was the splendid work of the New Haven forwards all through the first period, conspicuous amongst which was the work of Cassidy. Dick and Valentine, the former kicking four goals, Valentine two and Dick one.

1ECIIEEn MEETS zDYZK0 FOR
 TITLE TONIGHT

New York, Dec. 8-Wladek Zbys- zko, the hercuIean Polish grappIer,
 will endeavor to win himself the worlds championship at wrestling this evening at the Seventy-first Reg inaent Armory- Sbyszko will tug around with Joe Stecher, the title holder, and when the finish arrives Stecher will either retain his title or Wladek will wear the crown. There
 must be a real cut victory, for the
 men will wrestIe until one secures a fall, no matter how long the match
 lasts
 This struggle should be the most i2c resting one that was ever held in
 this city. These men have wrestled several times, and the results have
 proved there is little to select be-
 tween them. The last time they met
 Zbyszko was recognized as tn cham
 pion, but Stecher managed to down
 him in one fall and thereby was acknowledged the titieholder. The time before this tituIar duel, Zbyszk0
 pinned Stecher twice.
 A remarkable feature of these bat ties is that each man declared he wasn't at his best when defeated.
 They bIazoned forth their altbis so
 | Lers1stentiy that a strong feeling of antagOnism arose between them. This feeling alone should compel each to let himself loose and at the same
 time show little of the Christmas feeling toward his rival. That each respects the other can be judged by | the fact that they trained harder than l usual for this contest.
 ! Stecher will probably rule favorite, l for the skiilful manner in which he i conquered ''Strangler" Lewis a few 1 weeks go demonstrated he was 90 i ing at his best. His famous ''boGy i scissors hold" is something that ] wrecks any opponent that gets en- ! tangled in it's meshes. Once Stecher i curls those powerful legs around the ] body of a rival 'tis generally the | start of the finish. They crush the i bl th out of the body and quickly l render 3. man unconscious. This is
 a hold that has no rival

THORPE FEARS FOOTBALL WILL
 GET HIM YET

Canton, O., Dec. 8.---Just because Indian Jim Thorpe of CarsiIse fame plays professional football every fall it does not follow that the redskin is so fond of the gridiron pastime that he cannot give it up.
 Recently Thorpe was asked why he played professional football. He re- piled that 1t was profitable, and that by playing he was able to increase his annual income by approximately 5, GOO. He was tendeTed an opportunity to coach a team in the V estern confer ence, but this proposition he turned down with the reply that he did not care to make football life study. And then he revealed his plans.
 T realize that my time in football is short. 1 want to make good in baseball" said the Indian. and when ever play football I risk my chances in the national game for an injury may put me out of the running at al- most any time.''

Boxer Now Calls on Youth of America to Support ked Cross Christmas Seal Sale.

in his heart. He was determined to get weil-which in tuberculosis is half the battle.
 He followed Dr. Sachs orders faithfully. In six months there was so much improvement that the physician advised a little gymna- sium work; nothing strenuous, but simple exercises.
 The boy from the tenements found the gymnasium a fascinating place He was especially interest ed n the prize fighters" they were called in those days-for to him they represented the last word in physical prowess. Later, when his cure had been assured, he experimented with the boxing gloves, and took many a drubbing from the more experienced boys. But the day came when his speed and hitting power, and particularly his determination, attracted the attention of Nate Lewis, famous manager of boxers, and Lewis "zock him on" for a course of instruc- ton.
 The result is ring history. In his first professional appearance as hghter-a ten round bout at Waukegan, Illinois-the former t. b." knocked his opponent cold in the eighth round. From that time on, his career has been a steady succession of victories. more than fifty per cent of his opponents being knocked out. Today he is considered the most formidable opponent of Benny Leonard for the lightweight championship of the world, and the battle is to take place this winter. Denver already has offered purse of $30,00O for the fight.
 Aside from his splendid health, Charlie has much to be grateful for as result of that first visit to Dr. Sachs. This boy who once did not have money enough to pay for medical examination has earned more than a hundred thousand dol lars as boxer!
 If everybody in this country realized the good that can be done among the tuberculosis plague spots by education and advice alone" said Charlie White today, they would buy Red Crosss Christmas Seals by the Uale.''

Crashos Tie Walnuts; Elevens May Try It
 Again On Saturday
(By Lester LeYenthal.)

In one of the greatest games played at Newfie1d park the Walnuts and Crashos played another tie yester- day. This is the second time in two weeks they have struggled to a tie. About 1.5oo fans saw the game and both teams had a good crowd backing them
 These two teams may play again next Saturday and g. good game Is as sured. The surprising fact of the game was the few fumbles on the muddy field.
 The Walnuts outplayed the West End boys. The ball was in the Crasho territory more than half of the time. Both teams were penalized about S5 yards each.
 Mir A Merrill refereed in stellar style and kept the boys on the jump. Baxter was the shining light of the game. His plunges and end runs gained much ground for the Nuts, Germain and Humphreys also starred for the Walnuts. Duncan and Trainor did well for the Crasho boys.

Nebraska Eleven Is Anxious to Play In
 East In 1920 Season

University of Nebraska, which de- feated Syracuse to on Thanksgiv- ing Day, is anxious to invade the East next year. The CornhuskerS have a feeling that they can clean up their Atlantic seaboard rivals as easily on foreign turf as they can on their own home grounds.
 Nebraska has already offered to come East for game with the Navy next November, but the offer IS likely to be declined because of the unusual guarantee required The Army and Navy terms do not charge admission to any of their games except the final Army-Navy game, and Nebraska contest would be too much of drain on the Navy coffers, it is feared.
 The Navy has already booked for next fall the only outfit that licked it this past season That was Georgetown. The Georgetown boys will play at Annapolis on Nov. 6, 1920.

MORAN LOOKING
 FO3TRADES ON
 NEW YORK TRIP

New York, Dec. S.---SimultancousIy with the arrival of Hermann came Pat Moran, who bossed Garry's Reds into a pennant and worlds champion ship during the last season. Garry and Pat had long talk yesterday, but Moran was a Sphinx when Ques- tioned to to his plans for 1920. IL is known, however, that the manager of the worlds champions plans some drastic changes in his club, and t is possible that he may put over a trade or two before he leaves late in the week for his home in Fitchburg, Mass Moran is known as aIshrewd trader, lie has asked for waivers on several of the players who drew worlds series dividends in October, ,-and he hopes to fill their places with better players Most of the players involved are sec ond-string men.
 President Charles A Stoneham and Manager John J. McGraw are due to reach New York some time today. They have been in Havana, looking
 over their new race track interests, but the league meeting carries enough importance to bring them back to New York. McGraw will be in the field for some traies, as he has con siderable building to do on the team which promised so much last season and then failed to accomplish what was expected.
 4 drive against freak delivery, the raise of the waiver price, the consd- eration of a new drafting system and the appointment of a new Board of Directors are some of the things wh:-l the National League will be called to act upon during the week. The nam ing of a manager for the Pirates and possibly for the Cardinals is taking the attention of the individual clubs
