PALITZ NOT TO MEET
 CARNEY AT MYSTIC ARENA

Dave Palitz, New London welter- weight, will not meet Billy Carney at Willow Point Casino Wednesday night, as the Mystic A. A. planned. Palitz and Carney were to star on boxing program, but the main bout is off the cards, so far as Palitz is con- cerned.
 Palitz' trouble is with his eye. Mike Morley of Hartford opened up an old cut over Palitz' right eye in their recent tangle at the Lyceum theatre. The cut is now in bad shape and it will be impossible for Dave to go on "Wednesday night.
 The promoters anxious to get Pal itz and Carney together, will attempt to get these boys into the ring in the near future Efforts to match the pair for previous dates were unsuc cessful. A Palitz Carney match would undoubtedly be a great drawing card, for there are many fans hereabouts anxious to see the pair get into the ring. Carney has a commendable rec ord, for he has fought some of the best.
 That recent snarl at the Lyceum won't be forgotten soon by either Pal itz, who was declared the victor, or Mike Morley, for the formers eye will bother him for some time to come, and Morley had to have stitches taken in the back of his head after the bat tie.
 The Palitz- Morley scrap has stirred up good deaf of talk in local sport 1 ing circles, the consensus being that ] a draw would have been a satisfac- 1 tory decision for Referee Billy Moran to have made.

 if we could strengthen the club, he said. Mind you, we must strengthen the club to make deal. That's what Huggins says and that's what say
 Do you contemplate trading Babe RuthT' he was asked.
 Well trade any man if we can strengthen the club" the colonel re- peated.
 where do you think the club needs to be strengthened g was another query
 well, it's a good ball club, but if we can get better man at any posi- that position, we'll make trade II we can," he replied.
 Asked if he thought that Hugglns reported impaired health would pre- vent him from continuing at the helm the colonel answered in the negative.
 T don't think SOL he said. Hug gins isn't sick. He's a delicate man, you know, and he's run down. He needs a rest, that's all"
 From well informed quarters the report is consistently repeated that Ruth Is to be given stiff discipline. He was almost total failure in the worlds series, at least at the bat, though he did make a pretty sacrifice Tn yesterdays game that endpleu Yankee runner to score later. Not only for his work in the worlds series but for the constant tub of hot water in which he steeped himself all this season is the Bambino to be pun ished, according to these reports
 Similar stories predidt something dire for Bob Meusel, who was Ruth's partner in exile in the fore part of the season when they were kept out of the game for fiouting the authority of Commissioner K. NJ. Landis. Some critics assert that Meusei was indiffer- ent throughout the worlds series.

SPORT NOTES

Now that the Worlds Series are over and baseball has gone for an, other year. the college football teams are coming into their own.
 Although the series of 1922 has passed into history there are those wiseacres who persist in telling how it should have been done and are still sending up a terrible vail over their financial errors.
 The sporting public in Eastern Connecticut hopes that Terry Lee of Bridgeport, who is to referee the Car ney-Palitz bout at Mystic, will pull no boners as was done in recent show not far from here.
 Lott O'Halloran, race secretary of the Stafford Fair, says that there will be some fast steppers on the half mile oval during the next three days. Must be so becuaSe LOtt'S a good judge of horse-1 flesh.
 It costs money to run a football team even though it is a high school team, so let's get out and attend the Academy games this fall They need the support and the public should take more interest in local high school athletics. You'll see some good games, too.

BALTIMORE WINS FOURTH
 CAME OF HUITTLE SERIES

Baltimore, Oct. 9-Baltimore won the fourth game of the Little World Series from St. Paul here this after noon. z to 8. With the score tied in the ninth, three men on bases, and one out. McAyoy of the Orioles, broke up the game with homer into the right field bleachers. It was his sec- ondh homer of the series, he having broken up the first game with a cir cult clout. This victory puts Baln- more further in the lead, three games to one. Groves and Benton, who started on the mound, were both knocked out. Parnham went in for Baltimore in the sixth and held the Saints scoreless for the remainder of the game.
 Hall relieved Benton in the ninth after Walsh had doubled and had made third on short single by Bent ley. After Boley went out to first Bishop was purposely passed, filling the bases. Then McAvoy broke up the game with his homer.

 According to these reports, Collins was to come to the Yankees in trade ,for Rob Meusel outfelder, and Aaron Ward, second baseman, both Of whom played throughout the Worlds Series that ended yesterday, in addition to each consideration. Local reports in cluded Babe Ruth in the deal ana eliminated Ward. |
 -Huggins will manage the team in goaa if he wants to-" Colonel Ruppert frankly declared.
 aOf course" he added, we'll have to come to a financial agreement, but that shouldn't be difficult. The Yan- kees never decrease a mans salary thev increase it. Pshaw, I don't see how these reports originate.
 Any club would like to have Eddie Collins. He's a great ball player but" and the colonel smiled broadly. Mil Ter Higgins can manage the Yankees if he wants to-"

YALE STARTS PRACTICE
 FOR THE IOWA GAME

New Haven, Oct t9-Yale started practice today for the game with Uni- versity of Iowa next Saturday with three first string men absent from the squad. Although Head Coach Tad Jones is said to be training the Blue with the Harvard game as the chief point in mind, the injury of George Beckett, Charley O'Hearn and Eddie Bench has not brought cheer to the Yale coaching staff.
 Beckett sustained a broken bone in one hand in the North Carolina game Saturday. and Bench twisted a knee. O'Hearn has been out of the game with a pulled tendon. With O'Hearn and Beckett on the side lines, the out
 look is that Newell Neidlinger will start the game at quarterback against the .Hawkeyes on Saturday. He was shunted to that position from half
 back last Saturday after Beckett was hurt. It is believed O'Hearn may be able to play for a short time Saturday, but Beckett and Bench are expected 1 to be out for more than two weeks. . Captain Jordan, who has been out
 with bone bruise, is expected to be | in good shape for the Iowa invasion,
 and Mallory will be at his regular full l back position. With Neidlinger at quarterback, Wight will be the first 1 choice for the other halfback.

He was once a resident of Brooklyn and served through the Civil War as private in the 18th New York Volunteers.
 Mfr. Welty died rather suddenly on September % from cancer of the liver at his home in Canton. Ohio.

MARKET WAS STRONG

New York, Oct 9-Resumption of the upward movement of prices in today's stock market was given added impetus by another series of demonstrations in special stocks, several of which were carried to new high records.
 Standard Oil of New Jersey was the individual feature. This stock, which had gained more than B points last week. registered a net advance of IT today 1-2, the days sales exceeding 70,000
 U. S. Steel common was another fa- vorite. touching 10S 1-4 and closing at 107 3-8, net gain of 5-S, the sales exceeding 100000 shares.
 Speculative belief that the govern ment's new taxation program will in- volve a levy on the undistributed sur plus of industrial corporations to take care of the government deficit is re- sponsible in part for the recent activity in the shares of companies with gigan- tic surplus accounts. 1t is pointed out that by distributing the surplus, the ex- tra tax may possibly be avoided or, If made retroactive, that the individual stockholder and not the corporation will pay the bill in which case the aggre- gate tax, assuming it is a graduated one would be considerably smaller. The last annual statement of the Standard Oil company of New Jersey showed surplus of s5s2,o21, ,s32, while the U. s. Steel cor{oration's surplus on December 31, 1921, was S50S, ,926,95 In each case the bulk of the surplu, was earned in the last five years. Bidding up of U. S. Steel also wa. 1 influenced by reports of large increast In the monthly statement of untitled or | ders, which will be made public at noo1 | tomorrow, Steel production is now sait

 Firpo's work in the ring yesterday came as a surprise to the sporting writers and the public. The writers in their articles of today dilate on the improvement the boxer showed as compared to his skill to his visit to the United States.
