man, who has been out of, the city for some time. had returned home. The Glees immediately got busy and signed the brilliant quaEterback and in Sundays game he will be included in the lineup of the Hill club. Klarnan is an excellent football player and will make a valuable addition to the Glees.
 While the New Haven club is making extensive preparations for the game the Chains are doing like wise in taking this gage more seri- ousIy than ever before. The Bridge porters realize that the GleeS have nodded together the strongest team that ever represented the Hill in foot ball and that the game will be one of the hardest fought of the season. The esteem in which the Chains hold the Glees augurs well for a, fast game, ex- actly what the fans desire.
 After the practice tonight Coach Weber will make a definite announce ment as to the exact lineup of the GleeS for the game.

KELLY ANSWERS
 LAKES CHARGES
Says Stratford and Crasho. Clubs Beat Washing To
 the Booking.

Answering the charge of the Lake football team that they were being ..crossed" in securing Newfield park for a game Sunday, James H. Kelly, business manager of the Chain foot ball team, says he has been assocsat- ed with the American Chain Athletic never been accused of being goat for any dirty deal and he says he is not going to be one of the Lakes or any other football eleven. Kelly's statement in full follows:
 ''The charge is made that the Chain team and myself are not giving the Lake Football team a chance. We are not running the Lake team. We tempting to, though plenty of outside and undesired advice has been offer ed by those connected with the Lake team. @ss
 T have charge of Newfield park. It is charged that there is an agree nnent to the effect that whenever the Chains are not using the grounds. the Lakes have first right to them. That is absolutely false. If MT. Mer- Till or anyone connected with the Lakes has any such understanding, it is with an irresponsible persons. and therefore is worthless.
 When MT. MerrilPs representative called me on the phone Wednesday relative to renting the park to the Lakes, I informed him had already let the grounds out to the Stratford A. c. and the Crasho football clubs for Sunday. MT. Lojeskie of the Chrashoes had called me up Wednes- day afternoon and also MT. Murphy of the Stratford A. c. That was about two o'clock. Xater Howard Washing, MT. Merrills representative, asked me call off that booking and hand the grounds over to the Lakes. 'I consider that proposition poor sportsmanship. I have been with the Chain Athletic Association for five years and have never been accused of being a goat for any dirty deal and I'm not going to be one for the Lake team or any other team.''

BASEBALL CHEF PROMISES STARTLNG EXPOSURES IN
Boxing Shows Cost
 Clubs Over $1, 800
New England A. A. Loses $9OO On Mike O'Dowd Bout, While Walnut Club Promoters Are Set
 Back Over $500
Back Over $50O

over $1,500 has been dropped by boxing promoters in this city during the month and this only proves that followers of the sport are not proyid- ing the patronage. The last show conducted under the auspices of the walnut Club set back the promoters over $500, while the New England Athletic Club. which featured Mike O'Dowd and Frank Carbone, lost about $500.
 In the O'Dowd bout the prices were so high that some of the fans point to that as a fault, while the Walnut Club show gave the fans an opportunity to see the bouts at popular prices. There were great many followers of the sport who wanted to see O'Dowd box Carbone, but they didn't care about spending $40 or $3.3O to see him in action. There was a. large number Of general admissions and when the hall was darkened for the first bout
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1920-10-15

those who paid the general admis- sions rushed into the reserved seat section. a-
 The Walnut Club entertainment had a larger crowd and the seats were well occupied, but the number who attended did not pay enough money to give the promoters any profit or in other words. they worked for a week or ten days to give the fans a boxing show and paid heavily for doing so.l
 One week from tonight there will be another boxing show under the auspices of the Armory A. A. con- ducted by Billy Hogan, and whethe CT this will be a success or not remains to be seen.
 That the Bridgeport Athletic & Amusement Company saw. the situa- tion early in the month is proved by their turning back a permit given thenr by the boxing commission and which permit was later used by the Walnut Club.

FIGHTERS DENY CHARGES.

New York, Oct. 15.-In the face of adverse criticism of their bout at Jer- sey City both Georges Carpenter and Battling Levinsky have today issued statements denying rumors that the affair was prearranged. Chairman Smith, of the New Jersey boxing com mission, also issued a statement in which he declared his belief that the bout was fought on it's merits. Smith, however. has offered to hold an in vestigation if certain persons who de- clared in the press that the fight was faked will consent to lay what proofs they may have before him.

Many More Sore.
 Some people have been made sore by the exposures already made. More may be made sore when the informa- tion likely to come before the grand jury next week is known.
 NO other Investigating body, in capable Of summon oning witnesses and examining them under oath, could have turned up the crookedness that has already been uncovered by the grand jury. I believe the develop ments of the coming week will be even more surprising to the public.
 Judge Mcdonald is honest in his de- termination to expose all dishonesty in baseball and I think all the friends of baseball ought to stand by him and await the decision of this grand jury before taking any further ac- tion.

"FOOIs In Congress-"

Standpatters, reactionaries and fools
in Congress may hate me, but none
hate ME or vilify me as these people
whose activities have been branded as
red
What do you mean by fools in
Congress? Chairman Campbell asked.
| am afraid / would be guilty of
lese majesty if / mentioned any
names, Gompers replied.
This colloquy took place before the
House Committee on Rules. which was
the so-called Sedition bill.
Mr.. Gompers places in one class stand
patters. reactionaries and fools in Con.
gress." This is a singular yet compre-
hensive classification. Mr.. Gompers is
not clear. Does he mean that there may
be standpatters and reactionaries in Con
gress who are not fools or does he use
the word "and'' as a connecting link to
join all members of Congress who are
either standpatters, reactionaries or
fools?
When asked for bill of particulars
Mr.. Gompcrs declined to specify. Which
count in the triple indictment applies to
ca ch member is not revealed. The only
conclusion is that each member may selec,
any one of the counts or perhaps all
The colloquy serves to call public atten
tion to mysterious influence which has
been lowering over Congress for some
time Threats and bad names appear to
be substitutes for argument.

FAVORS LEWIS NIXON.

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
Apropos of the socalled boom for
Herbert Hoover for President. which
was so effectively commented upon in
your editorial of today, is it not pos
sible for both Of the two great political
parties to select real Americans with
real qualifications for the position of
Executive OF the nation? While not
wishing to detract in the least from the
missary General for Belgium, am of
those women whose first opportunity to
vote for President will come next
November. and who would like to cele-
bate that event by voting for a candi-
date who stands at least an even
chance in the elections.
Mr.. Hoover may have endeared him
self to the Belgians. but l doubt If he
has endeared himself to the average in
telligent American woman voter. I do
not believe that Mr.. McAdoo another
candidate in the Democratic field
would find much favor among the
voters, men or women, who remember
his railroad administration. or rather
misadministration.
1t is not a compliment to Mr. Lewis
Nixon, a man whom 1 consider a really
great American statesman and a man
who holds American ideals foremost in
all his undertakings-witho being.
thank goodness. an idealist-that
bring up his name in opposition to the
others l have mentioned. There could
be no honest comparison between
them. From the Democratic standpoint
there could not be a wiser selection for
the Presidency than the man who at
present holds the thankless post of
Public Service Commissioner Of New
York. Governor Smith importuned Mr..
Nixon to accept the Commissionership.
Mr.. Nixon did not importune the Gov
ernor to give it to him. He did not
want it and he certainly did not need it.
II the designing and building Of the
famous battle ship Oregon and the SER
vices Lewis Nixon, expert on interna-
tional law and treaties, rendered his
country as head Of the commission thai
visited the South American nations and
brought about better understanding
between us and our Latin cousins were
the only things to be said in his favor,
Mr.. Nixon would still remain, to my
mind, the ono logical candidate for
President on the Democratic ticket to-
day. - c. l.. G..

HOLLANDS Refusal.

Hollands refusal to deliver UP the
person of the fugitive Kaiser makes a
dead letter of Article 227 Of the Treaty
of Peace, which recites that a special
tribunal will be instituted to try William
Hohenzollern. Holland denies the re-
quest of the Allies on the ground that it
was not concerned with the origin of the
war, that it is not seeking ito cover with
its sovereign right and its moral authority
violations of the essential principles of
the solidarity of nations and that "it
cannot recognize an international duty 70
associate itself with this act of high in
ternational policy of the Powers"
The most interesting portion of Hol-
lands refusal is her reliance on "the
laws of the kingdom and national tradi-
ton" The reply continues Neither the
constituent laws of the kingdom, nor a
respectable secular tradition which has
made this country always a ground of
refuge for the varquished in interna-
tional conflicts, permit the government
of Holland to defer to the desire of the
Powers by withdrawing from the former
Emperor the benefit of its laws and this
tradition" Finally, ''the Netherlands
people could not betray the faith of those
who have confided themselves to their
free institutions"
That appears to settle the ma tier unless
the allied Powers undertake to exercise
force, which is very unlikely. 1t is un-
necessary to speculate how public opinion
in Great Britain and France will accept
Hollands reply. 1t is significant to re-
call that Secretary Lansing, the Ameri-
can member of the trial commission, has
expressed the opinion that the fugitive
Kaiser never can be placed on trial be-
cause of the lack of legal tribunal 1t
has been suggested that tribunal and
precedent should be established. How
ever. the position Of Holland, if persisted
in will leave unanswered the question,
Has the real culprit been adequately
punished?
