BROWN

Providence. Oct. 27 - Brown sup porters have been greatly cheered over the prospects against Yale at New Haven next Saturday by reports that the Bears star fulIback, John iSpellman, may be able to play in spite of his injured knee. .Spellman has been the. most consistent ground gainer on the team.
 The addition of Monk at end also has materially strengthened the squad. The end problem has been the bugbear of the Brown coaches since the season opened and Monk has lifted a large part of the burden by his showing in the past three days. Monk has football brains and is a hard, sure tackler.
 Enthusiasm over the coming game is running high at Brown. So great has been the demand for tickets from Brown supporters that the college has opened a ticket office. Brown will be we'll backed when it's team trots into the Bowl.

Jr. Soccer League
 Contest Saturday

The second game of the Bridge port Junior Soccer League will be staged at Seaside Park on Saturday afternoon when the HoIlister Thistles will play the Bridgeport City. Jrs. at 3 o'clock. The game is expected to be a keen1y contested one in view of the fact that all are East Eide boys and the City Juniors defeated the St. George Juniors in the opening game last week by the score of two goals to none. The referee for this game is Harvey Calliss. Owing to the High school team not being ready to play until next week it means that the St. Georges team will lay idle.
 More teams are wanted for this league, the age limit is 1S years of age, and applications for member ship Should be sent to Secretary Joe Booth, 51 Burroughs street, or te1e- phone Barnum 4604.

Salary SIicing
 RunsOrs Reach
 Eastern League

fCeports that have been going the rounds in several minor league circuits that players will he forced to submit to salary cuts next season have also crept into Eastern League circles.
 From upstate to-day comes the report that several Eastern League magnates are in favor of reducing stipends~ for 1922 ten per cent, but this could not be verified in Bridgeport, owing to the inability to get in touch with President Clark Lane of the local club.
 However, the matter is sure to come before the Eastern League moguIs when the annual meet ing is asked in New Haven in December. It is reported that George Weiss of New Haven and Jim C1arEn, the Hartford, mag nate, are opposed to any such program in the Eastern League, as with the exception of Albany the league enjoyed a prosperous season, despite the financial de- precision.

 May Try to Modify Law.
 Owing to the requirement. of the new State boxing law calling for a 5000 bond on all boxing shows to be posted steps are going to be taken strictions modified for the benefit of the smaller clubs. The new code practically puts prohibition on the "Iittle fellows" who have condu ucted smokers in the past and gives a monopoly of the boxing sport to the married class. In this respect the new code Is declared to be unfair. In nutshell the small fry are frozen out.
 According 60 reports the situation will be placed before the State Board at near future session. It is also said the members of the Commission look with favor upon the plan.
