such legislation as bunk. tfWhat
 the hell does it all amount to?"
 Jack profanely asked the soIons.
 'The men who are shouting loud
 est for the reduction of the sal-
 ary limit will probably be the
 first to break it,' said Jack, tuck
 ing a pair of caIiouSed thumbs
 under his suSpenders. ''When
 club owners run their own teams
 instead of letting some manager
 run it for his own interests at
 the expense of their pocket
 books, then the salary limit will
 mean something."
 Keeler rounded out one of the most brilliant and honorable individual records in the annals of major league baseball. 'FWee Willie was a sterling athlete and a gentleTnanly player and the predecessor of Cobb Sis1er and Ruth was never known to have been fined for rowdy tactics on the field KeeIer had many admir- CTS among Bridgeport fans who re- member his remarkable brilliant achievements on the Yankees and old Baltimore Orioles. Keeler Is now up against it.'' He is a sufferer from heart trouble and cannot travel much. He was able to attend the final game of the worlds series. but the excitement was 8 bit too much, and he has been confined to his home since.

Disappointment was in store again yesterday for local football fans by the second postp ponement of the Bridgep contest. The man appears to be getting in all his bad behavior at the latter part of the season.
 There was no disgrace attached
 10 the defeat of the Jackson Stars
 yesterday by the CraSho Juniors.
 The Stars have marked up a To-
 cal football record that is likely
 to stand for some: time. 1t being
 the first time fin six seasons the
 latter team was beaten.
 With the conclusion of the college football season no team appears to have ctean-cut claim to the Eastern gr1diron title, is the view of the ma jority of experts. Penn State seems to be the strongest in the East, but Cornell, Lafayette and Washington and Jefferson have fine records. Bunch this situation with the triple tie be- tween Yale, Princeton and Harvard the season is shy of decisive results.
 Jack Mack, part owner and
 manager of the Worcester club,

 League when he riddled the
 proposition to reduce salaries for

MaIc0na AIdrich
 Is Great Player

Wonder if football goers this year appreciate just how good player Malcolm AIdrich was? To Bill Hanna's way of thinking he was the greatest backfield man of all time except Ned Ma han, and that includes 30 years of observation. Greater than Coy, Thorpe, Barrett, Oliphant, Thorne, Osgood. Weel<es, EclSer- sail, Stevenson, Casey, Davies, Butter1vorth, Ki1Iinger. HoIlen- back, Gipp, Heston? Never saw Heston or Gfpp, but better than any of the others. A wonderful defensive man in addition to his varied offensive skill.

 stage any more shows until New Years or thereafter. It appears that the Dwyer and Lewis combination have also eliminated themselves in the so-called elimination featherweight Roach a Conner.
 Young Roach looks to us like a proper handling. He is a gamester and has a good wallop. All he re- quires is a, bit of season in the pre- Hminaries.
 Joe Delaney There.
 Joe Delaney in his two looming out" performances has uncorked a punch of the Jack Dempsey variety and should experience no difficulty in getting. meal ticket money around these diggings if the boxing game experience a revival. Delaney is a rugged chap-a young Hercules-and promises to give his brother, Jack, @ run for notoriety.
 PudeI Deserves Attention
 Doug Pudel, newcomer in the featherweight division, who has fig ured in only two bouts in which he scored a win and a draw is deter mined to reach the top of the ladder and is training consistently every day at the Columbia A. c. PudeI who gave a facing to Young Desmond in the latter's home town, Danbury, and who drew With Danny O'COnnell, George Washington Dwyer's protege, at the recent Puritan A. c. show, de- clares he is open to meet any boys in the feather class, including Billy Prince, Joe Hall, Young Luby and Pete August.
 Knows What K. O. Means.
 ''Knockout" Al Jennings (no re1a- ton to ::Bandft A1') of Black Rock, who gained the distinction of being kayoed in all of the six fights he parti- cipated in, has wisely quit the boxing game and started to master~the rudi- ments of carpentry. Young Mister Jennings should make bigger hit driving nails than being hammered in the ring.
 Seriously Speaking.
 The only way boxing can be raised to it's former height of popularity here, it appears to our way of thinking others a1so-is for Managers Joe Smith and Al Jennings to get down to brass tacks and agree to a match. Boquet For Bennett. Johnny Red" Bennett who made a financial success of the Puritan A. c. bouts in the Armory A. A. Is being urged by many of his friends and ring followers to put on another program.

Cornelius Clifford is due to leave Bridgeport next Satur- day and will be absent from Fairfield avenue about three weeks.

BY GEORGE F. FIRsTBRooK.

Glad to hear that Johnny "Red'' Allen presented satisfactory ex- so1ons for his failure to go on with his bout with Georgie Lee, of Worces- ter, recently. It appears that Aliens 8 contract was sent on here without any mention of weight in the document. Allen has always been adverse to fighting boys over his weight, which is his right, and that was the main point on which he cancelled his bout with Lee. Terry Lee was the diplomat in the case. Now we hope "Red'' will get busy at his profession.
 Has Weafer Gone South?
 Bud Weafer has been among the absentees-so has his manager, Bill Smith-on Pug Row since the Nor walkers defeat at the hands of Phil Bloom recently in Hartford. The pro- posed Bogash-W bout looks to be a corpse for some time to come.
 Everybody Likes Patsy.
 Patsy Bogash liked for his good natured traits, although without en- tgagements, is keeping himself in Patsy's business is fighting. He never shirks in the ring and was never known to wiggle out of a bout. Local fans would like to see Joe Smith push Patsy to the front at faster gait. Patsy's sterling fighting qualities would no doubt be relished by New York ring fans. .s McAvoy On Deck. Jack McAvoy, the local heavyweight aspirant, who underwent an operation recently for nasal trouble, says he ex- poets to be in fighting trim within a few weeks. Nat Margolis, his man ager, has several matches in view.
 Hire a Hall.
 This talk of Young Ahearn being entitled to a draw with Jim Bones in their recent bout is making George
 Washington Dwyer strut around like a
 mad hen. Nothing to 1t but Bones,' '' said Dwyer. ''If these wise crackers around Billy DeFoe's training camp believe Ahearn can beat Bones I will cover all of the money they can show.
 Tn a 10-round bout Ahearn wouldn t
 know where he was with Jim. Money ! talks. So, if there are any of Ahearn' s
 packers who want to talk business
 they don't have to chase me around
 to do it. There has been so much

 studded belt contest between Bones and Ahearn Doe Owens should give
 this pair consideration for his pro-
 posposed show.

According to recent advices from the Pacific Coast. Ty Cobb insists on carrying around Flight" as his mtd- de name, but Ty knows by this time rowdyisrn will not be tolerated in the California Winter League, Of which Frank Chance is president. Chances action in clustering a $50 fine on Cobb for abusive language toward Umpire Billy Phyle and causing the forfeiture of game had the effect of subduing the Georgian, who has figured in scraps while on his Pacific Coast sojourn.
 A few days previous Cobb had rumpus with a fan in the bleachers who had called him yellow" ac- cording to Cobb's friends. Ty tried to get to the offender, but could not locate him, but another fan did find the tormentor and to show his friendship for Cobb soaked the bleacherhe on the nose, thus vtndi- eating Cobb's honor.
 Cobb's San Francisco team had not been going any too well and the fact that teams managed by Hornsby. Sis- Ter and Hellnan have been showing him their heels evidently has gotten on his nerves.
