MISS CECIL LEITCH
 IN FINAL ROUND
English Star Defeats Miss Collett at
 Belleclaire-MeetS Mrs. Huck- nall in Final Today

Bayside, l.. l., Oct 21.-For the first time since she set foot on United States soil Miss Cecil Leitch, Britain s super-golfer, has succeeded in break ing through the barriers to the final round of tournament. In so doing, in the semi final round of the invita- ton woman's tournament at the Belle claire Golf and Country club here yesterday, the stalwart daughter of John Bull succeeded in breaking down the stern opposition put in her way when she was drawn in the same bracket with Miss Glenna Collett, the fair Providence miss, who had pre- viously upset her in the Berthellyn Cup tournament at Philadelphia.
 Yesterday, Miss Leitch was not to be denied and, after a hard-fought strug
 gle which hung in the balance until the home green was in sight, the British golf queen wiped out the stig
 ma of her previous failure by winning, , and 1. Her victory carried her into today's final against Mrs. Thomas Hucknall of Forest Hill, who arose tc he greatest heights of her career as
 ] linksw oman by bringing about the l feat of Mrs. w. A. Gavin of Belle claire, the metropolitan women's champion, in a battle that fairly bristled in intenseness and in which the verdict was not reached until the asst hole had been played. It was here hat the Belleclaire star, trailing over the greater part of the distance, came to grief by falling to carry the water haard, giving Mrs. Hucknall the vic .ory by the margin of 1 up.

WASHINGTON GLEES TO
 PLAY NUTMEGS SUM.
speedy New Haven Eleven Booked For Next Sunday at Vibberts'
 F1eld-Stars in Lineup

The Washington GIees of New
 Haven With the same lineup that held Jlm Ihorpe's Canton Bulldogs score less Tn their game last year will be the attraction at Vibberts' field against the Nutmegs on Sunday In securing the
 Washlngton Glees, the Nutmeg man. ager has booked a good team as the GleeS are an eleven whom the fans want to see in action. oFr years the team has been among the leaders in the state, and in the past few years the Nutmegs were not fully capable of meeting such a strong club. This is
 the first time in five years that the
 famous Glees will be seen here. Be-
 fore this lapse of time the Nutmeg
 Glee game was looked upon as the
 Dig game of the year.
 At the commencement of the sea son the Glees did not attempt to or ganize because of the fact that the Williams of New Haven had a mono ply on the Weiss Field with left the Glees without a gridiron. Due to the several reverses suffered by the Will Hams team and the lack of patronage at their game George Weiss has turned the field over to the Glees. Next Sun day will be the only time the New 1 Haven team will play away from | home
 Included in the G1ees lineup are some of the best football players in the east. Some of the we'll know play 1 CTS are Moose Miller, Jim Breslin, one time captain of the Trinity team. Johnny Friend and the f1ashy Williams player. Nolan, who played at quarter back for the Williams and several l other noted grid players.
 At last nights practice Coach Cas- isidy spent considerable time improving
 the Nutmeg aerial play. This is about
 the only weakness that was evident in
 the Nutmeg -Rambler-Tigers game last Sunday.

It will be the Kensington boys first start in many moons. He will be re- membered by New Britain boxing fans for his fine performances in local boxing circles about two years ago, particularly in the state amateur bouts held at Turner Hall.

N. B. II. 5. TO PLAY
 BRISTOL TOMORROW
Game Will Be Staged at St.
 Mary's Fairgrounds

In the team of the Bristol High school the local High school team will meet. for the first time this season an eleven which appears to be of about the same poundage and with an equal number of veteran players, aa has the Franklin Square institution, when the two teams clash tomorrow afternoon at St. Mary's playgrounds
 For severa! years past the New Britain-Bristol game haa been tho opener of the season for both teams. but this year the schedules were changed to mako the annual clash g. mid-season meeting. The teams of other years have experienced little diff f1culty in administering decisive beat ings to the Bell City boys, so thero appears on the face of the matter to be little chance of a reverse tomorrow.
 The Bristol eleven is an aggressive outfit. The team crossed the goal line of Meriden High school, a feat which the locals were unable to accomplish New Britain's win being brought about by Q field goal
 Coach George c. Cassidy vii! prob ably open the game with the follow ing lineup: Bentz. center; Rakowski and Schaeffer, guards; Capt. Feine- man and Cooley, tackles; Meucke and Zehrer. ends; Mahoney and Bray or O'Dell, halfbacks; Griffin, quarter back; Murtha, fullback.
 It ia not expected that Landino Williams or Davis will play. All three have been out with the team during the past week for few of the prac- tice sessions. Davis reports his in jured kneo to be in excellent condi- tion, but Coach Cassidy wishes to hold the halfback out of the game until the danger of more serious injury ia believed to be surely passed.
 The reorganized cheering squad | under the direction of Cheer Leader Linton will be on the grounds to lead the roofing for the Red and Gold.

HOPPE RUNS 399

New York, Oct. 21.-Willie Hoppe played some of the best billiards he has displayed this season in the con- tinuation of his exhibitions against Charley Peterson at the Ambassador Academy yesterday. During the after noon's game, when the balls seemed to be in better condition than they have been since the worlds champion started playing here, Hoppe unIeashed run of 399 that was only interrupted by bad roll-off. As he stepped to the table to make the last point he was compelled to make left-handed one cushion shot. To those at the table side it was apparent that Hoppe had stroked the ball perfectly but it rolled off just before coming into contact with the second ball.

FRENCH WILL NOT
 PLAY WITH ARMY
Cadets Will Face Yale Without
 Star FullbaCk

West Point, N. Y., Oct. 21-The last practice here for the Army eleven before meeting Yale in New Haven on Saturday was held yesterday. The workout was staged on North field, the regular gridiron being treacherous because of heavy rains of last night and this morning. There was only the hghtest kind of work. The line men held a dummy scrim mage, the backs and ends were sent down under kicks, Wood doing the bunting, and there was a long forward pass drill.
 The practice wound up with a snappy signal drill All the varsity men were in the lineup except French, who it was announced by Head Coach Daily will not start against Yale. French was out, but doing only the !! lightest of work. His absence will make a marked difference in the Army's chances against Yale. The Army will fight hard, but even the | most optimistic of the Cadets follow. | CTS do no- expect anything better l than holding Yale to a low score. Charlie Da1y said last night his
 men wouII line up against the Ellis
 as follows: White. right end; David
 son, right tackle; Garbisch, right
 guard; Greene (captain). center; | Briester, left guard; Mulligan, left l tackle; Don Storck, left end; Wilhide, quarterback; McLaren, right half
 back; Wood, left halfback; Smythe, 1 fullback
 l It is expected, however, that a number of substitutes will get a. | chance to go in during some stage of | the game, especially Glasgow, end; Goodman, guard, and Lawrence,
 Richardso Gilmore and Ives, backs.
 The squad, consisting of about 40
 men, left here this morning at 7:3o o'clock. The players will arrive at Grand Central Station at SIS, leav- ing thirty minutes later for Derby, lConn., wh gre th'y will be quartered luntil Saturday evening. The Army men expect to take a workout in the Bowl this afternoon.

GREENLEAF IN LEAD
Pocket Billiards Champion Haa Won Three Straight and Bids Fair to Re tain His Title.

Philadelphia, Oct 21 = Ralph Greenleaf of New York, pocket bill Hard champion, climbed notch nearer retaining his championship in the Ma tional Titlo Tournament at the Hotel Continental last night when he easily defeated Jerome Keogh, tho Rochester veteran, 125 to 56. This was the third straight victory for the youthful Greenleaf, who gained the American title here two years ago. He went out in sixteen innings, having high run of 27 in the third inning Keogh went him one better in making a run of 2S, but played erratically.
 Although Bennie Aiken of Kansas City led James Mature of New York, 108 to 79 in the twenty ninth inning yesterday afternoon, Mature won the match in the. tTirty-sixth inning by the score of 125 to 122. It was Ma turo's second victory in as many starts in tho tournament.
 In the second afternoon game, w. F. De Langh of this city was defeated by Arthur D. Church of Yonkers by score of 12O to 50.

TENDLER FAVORED
 TO DEFEAT KANSAS
Phila. SouthpaW Boxer Meets a
 Rugged Rival Tonight

New York, Oct. 21.-Lew Tender, left-',;- de Philadelphia lightweight, who is clamoring for a bout against champion Benny Leonard, will en- deavor to remove one of the obstacles in his patch to a title match at Madison Square Garden this evening" The Quak r City boxer will engaged Rocky Kansas of Buffalo in a battle which will eliminate one of the prin- cipals from the championship road. The boxers are slated for fifteen rounds as the principal event on a card which also includes three eight round preliminaries. Tender and Kansas have agreed to make the light
 weight limit, 1855 pounds, at o'clock this afternoon. Both boxers are pre-
 pared, in the event of victory, to push
 a campaign for a meeting with Leon
 ard for the. title.
 Tendler is the favorite in tonight's scrap. The odds his admirers are
 willing to give have receded from 2 to 1 to 8 to 5. The heavy flow of
 Kansas money compelled this de-
 crease, for the Buffalo Italian has
 many supporters who are confident
 the Bison City lightweight will emerge from the fracas the victor.
 The contest has aroused unusual at tention. The demand for tickets has led Promoter Tex Rickard to predict
 crowded house when the lads step into the ring. The popularity of the boxers, their prominence in the light
 weight title hunt, and the popular sale of prices adopted for the con test, have combined to produce a
 magnet calculated to draw the big &0 fo | nous old arena of f1sticuffs.
 Tender has worked for three weeks in preparation for this battle. Be cause it will mark his initial appear
 ance in this city, and for the reason that he expects through his showing
 to enhance his campaign for a title
 match with Champion Leonard, the Philadelphia lightweight is particu- larly eager to score a triumph. Be-
 cause of his unorthodox style, Tend Ter is regarded as one of Leonard s
 most dangerous rivals. Tender is fast and clever, above the ordinary run of portsiders. and he packs a dangerous punch in either hand. It | is expected that 15O0 Philadelphia admirers will make the journey from the Quaker City to see their favorite in action.
 Kansas, a sturdy lightweight with the torso of a midd1eweight wrestler | is noted for his ability as ring "p1ugger," a boxer whose offensive lseldom ever is discouraged by the tb1ows of a rival, and a lightweight with seemingly unlimited powers for absorbing punishment. The Bison City lightweight also is heavy hit 1 ter.
 Benny Leonard, holder of the worlds lightweight title, is expected to view the proceedings from a ring side seat. Promoter Rickard has de- c1ared his intention of seeking to ar lrange a title match between the win ner and Leonard for a future date at the Garden.

CHANGES AT YALE
Harry Cross is Placed at Center on Second Team-Hidden Replaces Into on Varsity.

New Haven, Conn.,, Oct. 2l.- Changes have been made in the plan of the Yale football coaches for Sat urday's lineup against West Point be- cause of the old injuries of seven play ers. Yesterday afternoon Harry Cross, Jr, who has been at guard and tackle when not in the hospital this Fall, was switched to center on the second team. This is interpreted to mean that Al Norris, who was rated as Yale's best snapperback when the season began, will be unable to play, even as substitute, and that Cross will oc needed to replace Landis when
 hat player, who will be started at center, retires. Norris's absence in he final games of the season would be a severe blow to Yale hopes.
 Another shift occurred when Donald Hidden was sent to left tackle with t.,e regulars, replacing Al Into, who nas been regarded as the most versa4 s1lo and powerful player in the Yale line. Into was not in good condition
 art Saturday and Hidden was sent into the Williams game. Into went through -ignals on the second eleven yester- lay
