CHANEY OUT AFTER
 KILBANE'S SCALP
Tex Rickard Belt Would Meet K1bane for Title

Andy Chaney, the New York feath- erweight, finds himself in a position similar to that of Jack Dempsey. Chaney has defeated every feather weight of note in the country. The result is tlAt promoters find 1t an inn possibility to secure featherweights who will consent to box Clancy.
 Clancy won the Tex Rickard featherweight elimination tournament at Madison Square Garden recently, by winning referees decisions over Sammy Sieger, Charley Beecher and Tommy Noble. Johnny kilbane re- fused an offer of $5o,ooo from Tex Rickard to box Clancy I5 rounds to a decision. Chaney holds two news paper decisions over kilbane. Hence meet Clancy.
 Eddie Mead, Chaney's round man ager, figures that Kilbane will be forced to defend his title against Clancy. "If Andy can successfully combat in the junior lightweight di- vision, the press and public will de- mand that Kilbane meet Clancy or announce his retirement from pugil- istic activities" says Mead.
 Clancy is now open to be booked to meet any junior lightweight in America. Johnny Dundee has re- fused offers from Tex Rickard and Roy Green, New York and Boston promoters, to meet Clancy in bout to decision, the winner to receive a $2,5oo diamond d-studded belt, em- blamatic of the worlds junior light weight title. Dundee is the first chap that Clancy aims to swap wallops with. If Dundee continues evading the issue, Chaney will gradually elim- mate the rest of the contenders Then Kilbane must come out of his shell.

NEW WORKERS GET READY FOR SIX DAY
 BICYCLE TOURNEY
Plans Under Way for Annual Tire Out" Races at Madison
 Square.

Preliminary speed trials between some of New York's best dvercoat moochers and the special cops of Madison Square Garden were held up and down the gallery steps this week i'll preparation for the first six-day bike debauch of the December To qualify for the bike race every moocher will be required to skin the heater off a sleeper without moving him out of the chair. There are some who claim the knack of taking custo- mer's shoes and trousers too, given plenty of time and one slap with a leather shot-sock
 New York didn't realize the six-day race was SO close until the Garden folks announced that several expert entomo- logists are now in Central Europe, comb ing, as 1t were, the vivacious Balkan countries for talent, old and new.
 A few of the new racers don't know bike from a bung-starter but that's a small matter of detail to be seen to by the operations department. Most of them will get handcuffed to the mess table the first night out, anyway, and never be seen a11y more on the track The point in promoting a six-day race IS to get a Bulgarian entered to draw the Bulgan- ian element, a Pole for the Poles, some Italians, some Dutch, Belgains, French men, Swiss-or here's the Atlas, help II - from New Jersey and last year there was an American but he hadn't enough coun- trymen in New York to cheer him through one sprint.
 Harry M. Stevens, caterer of Madl- son Square Garden, is raising a large litter of machine -whelped hot dogs to feed the chivalry of Mulberry Bend during those six strenuous days and nights They are a fine full-bodied strain with Cordovan coats, a breed blend combining the best points of the Deutsche blutwurst with the wiry strength of the old familiar Coney Island air dale. Near beer will be served with an eye-dropper at 40 cents a drop and no change given
 It seems, also, that the scouts while searching Europe for six-day bike riders have collected some new wrestling speci- mems and these are to be shown here during the winter if it's all right with the health department which might ob- ject, being finicky about sanitation. Some are he1ieved tO he Turks and others have that distinct Bulgarian odor.

NEW HAVEN AND BRIDGEPORT
 SOCCER TEAMS IN FURIOUS TIE
GAME ENDING TO I THRILLS CROWD OF 5000 AT BEAVER PARKS FIELD SUNDAY.

Before a crowd of at least 5000 the New Haven Soccer team and Bridge port Sons of St. George Soccer team played each other to a standstill at Beaver Park, Sunday afternoon, with a score of one goal each. It was the fastest and by far the most interesting game that has been contested this season both teams being pitched to the highest note and the feeling at times between both players and spec tators was very decided. Two weeks before New Haven won 5 to I at the same field.
 New Haven scored the only goal of the first period, although it was only the splendid defense work of the wis itors that prevented them from mak- ing the tally larger. The second period was faster and even more ex- citing than the first. Ten minutes from the start, Bridgeport by sheer desperation, got the leather down to New Haven's goal where battle royal took place. In the scrimmage Jones put it through. While in the melee New Haven's goal keeper got knocked out and the locals were com pelled to play with 10 men. In spite of this handicap the locals more than held their own until 20 minutes later Johnston gallantly took up his posi- ton between the posts and the game again became hot and exciting. York, the referee, had his hands full from then on and Is minutes from time he ordered New Haven and Bridgeport player from the game and both sides were playing one man short. Lineup:
 New Haven. Bridgeport.
