.O'LEARY
 ISSUES DEFI TO PRINCE AND HALL

Young Johnny O'Leary has been booked for a return bout with Jack Wolfe, the Cleveland sensation, in the Ohio city on Columbus Day. SThe Bridgeporter declared today he is confident of reversing the verdict when the pair meet again O'Leary was at a disadvantage in Saturdays fight, having been booked at the eleventh hour to substitute for Art Bailey'S cancellation.
 With two\weeks training, think can beat this fellow Wolfe," said O'Leary. 'tI am also getting ready for busy winter season and would like nothing better than to take on Billy Prince or Joe Hall for starters. I have beaten both of these fellows, but I understand they are boosting around town that they can put the kfbosh on me. If they mean busi- ness am willing to box either at the next show of the Bridgeport A. & A. winner to take all. I will box them at any weight either names.'
 This challenge looks that O'Leary means business. If a bout can be ar- ranged between him and either Hall or Prince. it would doubtless be one of the best attractions the local pro- moters could stage. All three boys have a host of admirers here and are capable of putting up good fights. OLeary is also booked to appear at several bouts at the Pioneer Club in New York, and is also expecting bookings before the Newark Boxing EIub

 Included in the Stop-offS will be Hoboken and Dover.

 Baseball and Tennis Star

He was so keen1y interested in ath- letics while he was a graduate stu dent at Harvard, and Professor Billy Phelps of Yale, who was also a Harvard graduate student at the same time, today showed a picture of '.Jim' Angel playing second base on the Harvard graduata team.
 President Angeu insists that the newspapers have not had the right angle on his athletic tendencies when they insisted that he favored inter class instead of intercollegiate sports, but he told the newspaper men that he was amused and f1attered by what they said.'' As he did not as sert that he had been hurt" or in jured'' by the false newspaper state ments the reporters have christened him Sunny Jim,'' a nickname which the Yale undergraduates have hardly dared apply to the president-elect university, has already found his way to a place in their hearts.

For the first time Yale has a pres ident of the University who has been a real athlete.
 pr. James Rowland Angel, who was inaugurated last summer, has worn a college athletic uniform, has been a. baseball, football and tennis player big enough to get university insignia and strenuous enough to get on the hospital list and stay there for weeks.
 President ,Angeu was a member of the University of Michigan football eleven for two seasons, although one of the 1ightest players who ever join ed the squad. He admits that he won his position by his drop-kicking but, in his second year, he was hurt so badly that he was compelled to keep out of football the remainder of his course Yet he continued to play either shortStop or second base on the Michigan nine, and he was the Michigan tennis champion as long as he remained an undergraduate.
