BRITISH ATHLETES FLIRTING WITH U. s.

New York, Sept 26-An English and frequent international intercol- iegiate contests may result from the recent visits to this country of Revil G. R. Rudd. The captain of the OK ford-CanEbridge track team, which competed against Harvard and Yale and Princeton and Cornell, outlined his plans for a broadening of English college athletics previous to sailing for his home.
 Rudd, famous for his running feats st the Pennsylvania relays, Olympic games and the recent international meets in Boston and this city, stated that he hoped to develop a British Isles intercollegiate body modelled along thel ines of the American I. C. A. A. A. A, while there are not as many institutions to draw from as in leges and universities in England, Scotland and Wales. It is Rudd' s idea to combine them with those of Ireland into a centrally governed as sociation, holding annual champion ship games in addition to the usual dual contests of which the Oxford Cambridge meet is the most noted.
 During his discussion with some of the leading advisory athletic officers ties Rudd said that he hoped and eX- pected that once this organization was firmly established it would be possible to hold annual or biennial in ternational intercollegiate games with the winners of the I. C.. A. A. A. A. championships. Such contests would have to be preceded by a complete present English college athletic situ- atiOn

PETE HARTLEY IN
 LINE FOR TENDLER

New York, Sept. % - Another slashing contest is anticipated when Willie Jackson and Pete Hartley finally met in , scheduled rounds at Madison Square Garden Friday night. They were originally matched two months ago, but reported sick a cou- pie of times and Hartley was asked to wait They will weigh in at 135 pounds at 2 o'clock, for which $1,0O0 forfeits been posted
 Both men are in hard tarining, for victory means much. Lew Tender, the Philadelphia south Daws has prom ised to box the victor. This is the sec ond meeting between Jackson and Hartley. They fought eight sizzling rounds at Philadelphia a year and a half ago and the consensus of opinion was that the Dane had a slight shade.
 Promoter Rickard has arranged three other good bouts, eight rounds each, to precedc the main event. Leach Cross, who has not fought in the Garden in many years, will be seen against Bert Spencer. of Brook lyn. Leach says he is in great shape and expects to stop Spencer. Another member of the fighting Cross family will also battle He is Marty, and his opponent will be Marty Summers. The opener will show Jimmy Sullivan, A. A. U. champion, and Morris LUX, of Kansas City.

COLONIAL JRS. HANG
 UP STARRY RECORD

The Colonial Jrs., formerly known as the Eagle Jrs. lay claim to the junior championship of the city on the grounds of having won 23 con secutive games this season withouS> a defeat. The all around playing of Geo. Maniero and Murphy was a big factor in the winning of so many games. Leonard Rich. one of the best amateur twirlers in the city hurled in 20 of these contests.
 With the, baseball season at an end the Coionials will now turn their main attention to football. And the grid combination shapes up very strong, and expect to win the honors on the gridiron as the diamond. Manager Levinsky, is open for book ings with any of the 4o-5O pound teams in the city.

By CHICK CREATION.

The boxing game in Bridgeport will be ushered in at the Armory A. on Main street tonight where an ex- ce1lent card of seven bouts will be offered for presentation by the Puri tan A. c.
 The fistic menu consists of a fine array of local talent. With the ex- ception of Angelo and Mack, who are from Stamford, the card is an all local affair and a great deal of inter est is attached to it for that reason. Some of the best nitt manipulators in the city are slated to show their wares.
 A bout which has been creating a batch of interest is the semi-fna1 be- *tween Leo Johnson, the clever col ored Scrappr of the Acorn, A. c. and Billy Prince. Park City'S premier featherWeight. This bout which is the first meeting of Johnson and Prince, is one of the best matches ar ranged around these diggings in many months. Prince has whipped all featherweights hereabouts with the exception of Johnson, while the latter has been setting a smart fast pace of late. Johnson is one of the very few good colored fighters in New Eng land and always gives the fans a good run for their money.
 Young Mack, formerly Maruke, Connecticut bantamweight cham pion, who has in his last few months won over such boys as Jimmy Burns, Jack Fforio and the like, is also on

 Another bout which is causing g more than ordinary interest is the setto between Joe Hall and Young Mcdonald, old neighborhood rivals of the South End. Hall and McDon- old have already met three times and the feud has not been settled. Every time these boys face each other they hammer away hammer and tongs from gong to gong.
 middleweights when Eddie Edwards of the Lennox come together Another scrap which promises action aplenty will trot out Danny O'Connell, who has boxed Mcdonald and Young OLeary and Dug Pudel, a promising g youngster of the Columbia A. c. Johnny Blansield, Billy Princes sparring partner will trade wallops with Art Lee of the Ienox.
 Pete Dunn, who has been training very hard for his bout with Angelo, is expected to give a good account of himself. Dunn never speaks about what he's going to do and what he's not going to do to his opponents. He just gaes in there and gives his best.
 As it is the first show of the sea- son and an appealing card like this is being offered. a bumper crowd is an- ticipated.
 Terry Lee will referee. Jack McGee announce and Mike O'Connor keep l time.
