 VICTOR IN BIG
 S1O,OOO EVENT

Baltimore, Md. Nov. 5-The Manly Memorial SteepIechase Handicap, with value of s10,o00. was won here yesterday by J. E. Widener's Duettiste, which proved that he Is quite the best cross-country per- former now in tarining over a dis tance of two miles and a half. The aged fencer scored an impressive vic tory, taking the winners share with an advantage of eight lengths from Mrs. F. Ambrose Clark's Poppy Nix, while third place went to the Green Stables Debadou- Duettfste had the race in hand from the time he took command, and won easily despite the fast pace that was set throughout His victory was popular, for he was the favorite, and had been heavily supported.
 The Manly Memorial is the richest of the seasons steepiechase events and accordingly it brought out the cream of the fencers. There were ten starters, and the only notable performer missing was The Brook, that sturdy little horse, which always carries the top weight in all contests he enters.

Signs In Stores to Tell When Baseball
 Games Are Postponed

New York, Nov. 4. - President Charles H. Ebbets of the Brooklyn Dodgers ContemplateS an innovation which greatly should interest local fans and is worthy of the serious consideration of the officials of the Giants and Yankees. The Brooklyn owner is trying to arrange with corporation owning a string of stores operating throughout Brooklyn and Queens to carry Came and ''No Game" signs in its windows through out next season.
 One of the disagreeabIe conditions that long has confronted both New York and Brooklyn fans is the in ability to ascertain whether gam es were to be played on rainy of incle- ment days. Much precious time has been wasted in futile attempts to get the Polo Grounds or Ebbets Field on the telephone.
 Thousands of fans have made futile trips to the ball ground only to find the game was off The ball clubs also have been affected by the condi- 1 lions, for many persons have re-
 mained away on doubtful days who 1 would have attended the games had l there been some way of knowing whether contest was to be played.
 The baseball public certainly is
 worthy of every consideration from
 the club owners and there is nothing l that would make more for the com ! fort and convenience of the fans than 1 to provide some system of getting needed tnforamtion to the public on | days in which weather conditions
 make the games doubtful.

He was in uniform and worked out with GaIt. while Fudge HefEnger, also decidedly on deck, took charge of Acosta, the other guard.
 Black promises to get into the scrub line before the end of the week along with Hefflinger It is safe to say that these powerful men will eth CT make or break the Yale guards for the Brown game.
 Callahan played practically the entire scrimmage session, being re- placed late in the afternoon by Gal win, his regular understudy. The Eli leader is displaying his old time light and the splendid defence put up by the varsity failed to yield a first down to a strong second team com bination.
 After the scrubs quit the varsity took on the college team. Leon Walker blocked a punt and recovered 1t for a touchdown early in this scrimmage. The ball was given to
 the collegiate team first on the 40, then on the 30 and finally on the 20 yard line. It failed to make it's dis
 tance on every occasion, despite ex- tra, downs that were allowed. Sharpe tried out new backfieId Kempton, who was allowed to rest was replaced by Chet La Roche.

Eddie FitzsinrnOns Is
 Coming Lightweight
 Champ, Says Morgan

Dan Morgan goes into the following raptures about his protege, Eddie Fitzsimmons:
 Talking about the heavyweights of today being a poor lot, what about the merry-go-round lightweight boys? The following are a few facts:
 Benny Leonard and Eddie FItz-
 simmons stand out as the only two lightweights of class in the world to-
 day. A few weeks ago, Tender agreed
 to meet any lightweight in Milwaukee
 and gave the promoter a check for $500. MT. Otto Bochert, president of the Cream City A. C., signed Eddie Fitzsimmons to meet Lew Tender at 133 pounds. Exit Tender leaving his check behind! The promoter dropped into Chicago and tried to sign Joe Yelling, or Charlie White, any weight with their own referee.
 ''Welling and White smiled and said: Nothing doing with that bird Then along comes Willie Jackson and Johnny Dundee, supposed contenders for Leonard's crown, and again was the promoter told that Little Fitz could hit too hard and that they would have nothing to do with Eddie Fftz-
 simmons the sailor boy, who is looked upon as the next in kin to Leon i ard for the crown.
 1 Fftzsimmons agrees to K. O. any i of the contenders inside of twelve 1 rounds, weight to be from 133-14( l lbs. ringside, also Valgar, who as g l lightweight is trying to grab the 122 1 pound championship, is invited tC l rningle with F'itz"

TED LEWIS IS
 ATTEMPTING ID
 DO COME BACK

Ted Kid Lewis, the former welter- weight champion, is fighting hard and often to regain his laurels lost to Jack Britton. After losing his title Lewis realized he was slipping back fast, and placed himself under the care of a physician. He was out of things pug;listic several months, and re turned for a bout with Steve Latzo. It was a six round battle staged in Philadelphia. Lewis won by a mar row margin. Then followed an eight round no-decision affair with Jack Britton in which Lewis made a fair showing.
 His next battle was against Mike O'Dowd, the middleweight champion, who was nearly twenty pounds heav- fer. Although his opponent had a great advantage in weight, Lewis made a good showing. It was his first real fight since he returned to the ring. Lewis has now won his last two contests by the knockout route and is now convinced he has made a genuine comeback. Lewis is at present in tip top condition and is trying to arrange another contest with Benny Leonard the lightweight title holder. Several clubs in New Jersey have offered to stage the match If 1t is made.

 1T will appreciate 1t very much if you will state in your valuable col umns that Johnny Lisse, the New York featherweight, is anxious to meet Johnny shugrue in a twelve round decision bout at one of the Bridgeport clubs and is willing to meet the Bridgeport boy at 124 pounds Lisse has appeared a num- Der of times in bouts throughout Con- necticut and has also boxed at Phil adelphia, Trenton and other Jersey clubs He is one of the most satis- factory fighters in the ring today and If Shugrue will consent to meet him the fight fans of your town will wit ness one of the best battles staged there in a, long time.

DARTMOUTH IN
 GOOD TRIM FOR PENN SATURDAY

Hanover, N. H., Nov. 5-After a day of complete rest the Dartmouth squad took the field yesterday after noon for a stiff signal workout, which was followed by a short scrimmage. The men that took part in the hard game of last Saturday are in first class condition.
 Coach Spears held his men in the gymnasium for a long talk on plays for the first part of the afternoon, then took them out for a hard work out.
 The lay-off of Monday and the fact that the team leaves on Thursday makes the time short in which to work up anything new to be used against the Red and Blue 4 de- parture from the usual tarining plans for the Dartmouth team was an nounced by the Athletic Council. It is planned to have the team leave Hanover on Thursday morning and to stay over night at the New York Athletic Club house at Travers Island. There the men will be given a work out on Friday afternoon.
 This is being done because of the fact that, if the team is taken to a New York hotel, there will be too much excitement for the men on the eve of the game. The coaches want no repetition of the season that ter minated with the fatal Carlisle game at the Polo Grounds

COAST STAR
 GIVES YELLING BAD BEATING
Valger Has Drummie in Bad Condition-Dundee Puts
 Touhey Away.

Newark, Nov. 5.-Joe Benjamin, lightweight champion of the Pacific coast, who in his Eastern debut last night before a crowd that packed the First Regiment Armory, outclassed Joe Yelling, in one of the eight round bouts that featured an all star card. Benjamin made good his claim to a position in the first flight of the division by giving Yelling an artistic drubbing. The Californian not only outhit and outboxed Yelling, but on three occasions the coast star stag gered Yelling with crashing rights to the jaw, leaving the former sailor in distress.
 Twice the bell came to Welling's re- lief in the nick of time, for a few more blows to the jaw would have brought the older man down. Yelling showed a, disposition to hold when the pace got too hot, and thus avoided many solid blows
 | Benjamin had the better of every round up to the seventh. when the veteran awoke and by a series of body 1 blows slowed the coast boy to a walk But Benjamin came back strong in 1 the eighth and won handily. Benja- min will have to be considered by all the lightweight clan. Yelling weighed 137 and Benjamin 134
 | Benny Valger. who has been annoy- ing Johnny Kilbane with challenges for title fight, increased the vadility Of his claim for recognition by the champion, by giving Johnny Drum | mic, the lightweight champion of New Jersey, one Of the severest trouncings tbsf young man ever received. Val ger tried hard to add one to his list 1 of knockouts, but Drummfe has a pair of nimble feet and when situations a I7of 1aI .J1 h to safety.
 It looked as though Drummie would be finished in the seventh round when iValger landed a right to Drummie's jaw that staggered him. It required great activity on the part of Drum mic to avoid a knockout
 Hrummie took a terrific beating fir the eighth and last round, but was or his feet. His title was tilted but stiI on his head.
 | Dcummie confessed to 133 pounds whila Valger's weight was announced at 127 1-2. The figures were disputed from Drumnnie'S corner, where it was said Valger weighed 129. Valger, while showing aggressiveness and hittins with force, exhibited a slowness tha- prevented him taking advantage O. numerous wide openings. The Frencr fash also showed poor judgment a. to distance.

CAPT. MURRAY OF HARVARD HAS
 TEAM IN SHAPE

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. - The first team that Harvard sends out on the field at Princeton on Saturday will be smooth running if constant drilling together will make it so. With no change in the lineup except that Sedgwick and Hubbard alternat- ed at left tackle, Bob Fisher held his men together first against the subs, both for offensive and defensive drill, and then rushed the team as it will stand for Saturday against the scrub team.
 Against the bIack-jerseye seconds there was a display of real football. The regulars, trying to get speed and dash into a series of new plays, went at the scrubs for all they were worth, but the latter were held up when they caught the spirit of roughing.
 Capt. Murray is getting his back field going in fine style. Although Casey, Burnham and Humphrey do not represent the most powerful combination the Crimson could pre- l sent, they do stand as the fastest and | the smoothest working arrangement. Fred Church played with the sub- stitutes and is the type of player to l fill in for either Casey or Humphrey. BurnnaIn improvement mas been one of the most satisfactory developments l of the past week. He has come on fast as an interferer and on him will | fall the heaviest work of the back | field offensive at Princeton.
 l Sedgwick was the first choice for left tackle. If he stays in condition | he may get first chance against the | Tigers. Hubbard is likely to be
 steadier for a long stretch of play ! but Sedgwick, when fresh, makes 3 lot of trouble. Both players are
 likely to have all the playing they
 want on Saturday.
 | Desmond and Steele remain al
 ends but yesterday Morris Phinney
 was in the other lineup. He has haG
 a bad back injury, but he Is ready tc play. Before he was hurt, he wal
 ahead of the other wings on forward
 pass work, but except for this he vii
 have to make great strides in hi!
 play in the ordinary run of attack.

BOB MARTIN IS
 NOT READY ID
 MEET DEMPSEY

New York, Nov. 4.-There is many a long month of hard training and studious effort under experienced ring generals before Bob Martin, heavy weight champion of the A. E. F., and inter-aIlied armies, can think of bat tling Jack Dempsey for the worlds heavyweight crown. That was the opinion of scores of prominent fight critics from every section of the country who watched the soldier champion cut Joe Bonds literally to shreC1s in a, scheduled 15-round go which was stopped in the eleventh round by Referee Matt Hinkel of Cleveland after Martin had pounded Bonds helpless.
 Martin is a good fighter. There is a future in store for him. He is an aspirant and a logical aspirant for the heavyweight title, but there is no possibility that he could success fully fight Dempsey just now. Anyone who would match him up with the title holder would literally sentence him to a ring death.
 That, in a few words, Is the critics view of the soldier champion. There was not a critic at the ringside who did not have praise for the big sol dier fighter after watching him have Bonds absolutely at his mercy from the time the gong sounded until the bout was stopped.
 But there were none who did not agree that Martin in his present day development is no match for the experienced ring generaLship ot Dempsey. He is too inexperienced But many critics believe, among them Ed Smith of Chicago. that with prop CT handling Martin will, within a year or IS months, be able to tackle Dempsey or any ether heavyweight champion.

 Roy Moore of St. Paul, won the 15 round referee decision over Frankie Mason of Fort Wayne, Ind, last week, thereby winning the fly weight championship of America, and the right to meet Jimmy Wilde, the English title holder. Moore has beaten Pete Herman, Johnny Ertle, John Burman, Pal Moore, in a no decision bout, Earl Puryear, and has always been forced to give away weight like the English champion had to do. Moore stands ready to meet the English champion. at any weight that will suit the Englishman, in a decision or no decision bout, and can get $10.00e in Baltimore, where Moore received the referee decision over Frankie Mason"

SYRACUSE WINS
 FROM RUTGERS
 IN GREAT CAME

New York, Nov. 5-George Foster Sanford's ''rational1y developed" football team was beaten by Syracuse in the course of Election Day festivi- ties at the Polo Grounds yesterday af- ternoon.
 Tie Rutgers eleven, in jerseys that famed as giddily as the shirts of a veteran fire hose company, reduced the nationality of their defense to practical terms, but their offense scared blithely in the realm of theory and never was brought to earth. Buck O'NeilTs warriors eked out two touch- downs and called it a game with the score at II to o.
 After a scoreless first half in which the Orange found the opposition i'm previous to line smashing, Ackley, Abbott and Schwarzer introduced 2 flashing series of passes, combining the lateral with the forward to such good purposes that the pigsl1in was across the goal line before the sec ond half was two minutes old.
 A 3O-yard heave by Ackley, stand ing on the 40-yard line, gave the ball to Schwarzer, who was camping un- der the shadow of the goal posts. The Syracuse end had a free romp to a seven point tally.
 Just as the fourth quarter opened two long end runs, one by Abbott and another by Erwig, after a double pass, took the pigskin from Syra- cuse's 40yard line to Rutgers 15- yard mark and a series of strenuous lin 2Sbucks pushed the ball over, Err wig getting the touchdown.
 Syracuse did not show the power critics had been led to expect after receiving all the slowing reports that had filtered down from upstate. While outplaying Rutgers, gaining 162 yards by rushing to 55 for Sanford s team, there was nothing dynamic about the assault. The Orange fail ed to develop a sustained rushing st- tack on the Rutgers ramparts af was compelled to fall back on oIc~ play to force the issue.
 The exceeding skill of AckIey gave the up-Staters 53 yards on aerial losses Rutgers, on the other hand was unable to get any further with the open game than with straight running tactics, and though attempt ing six forward passes, five in the 1 second half, none of them advanced the ball a yard.
