SCHAEFER TAXES FIRST GAME

of Ski in France will be recognized by the State Athletic Commission here upon receipt of official notification from the French Boxing Federation. Riekard said yesterday that he would not positively abandon his plans for bringing Ski here until official word of his suspension had been received in this country. At the same time, how ever, he Is negotiating with Beckett in order to be prepared for the can ceiling of the projected bout between Ski and Kid Norfolk
 Rickard was impressed with the showing of Gibbons in the latter S recent bout with Billy Miske, rival St. Paul boxer. Miske won on foul but only after being subjected to a severe trouncing by Gibbons. The manner in which he performed against the sturdy Miske has given Rickard the idea that Gibbons probably would defeat Beckett, who does not measure up to the standard of the average second-rate American heavyweight, Further, Rickard is convinced that Gibbons would force Dempsey to ex- tend himself in Q title bout to de- cision. Gibbons, according to the pro- moter. is prepared to take on any box CT selected by Rckard, in an elimina- ton match leading to a clash with Dempsey.

DETROIT PLAYERS SEND
 APOLOGY. TO OFFICIAL

Detroit, Mich, Nov. 13-A letter of apology has been sent by the board in control of athletics at the University of Detroit and the members of the University's football squad, to E. H. Greene, a linesman in the recent game between Detroit and Springfield col lege at Springfield, Mass, it was an- nounced here tonight. The board also announced it had disciplined the De- troit players involved in an alterca- tion with Greene following the game.
 The boards investigation disclosed that player Vreeland of the Detroit squad, approached Greene at the close of the game and profanely commented on his ability as an official. Greene is said to have struck Vreeland and the player returned the blow. Other members of the Detroit team were criticised by the board for failure to interfere.
 Regret was expressed by the board that Greene failed to l5se more or derly methods of retaliation" when he was criticised, and added that be- cause of the action of the official, it is inclined to be more lenient toward an offense that would have warrented Vreeland's suspension if Greene had brought the affair to the boards at tention in an orderly manner.

SKI REGARDED HIS ACT
 AS A HUGE JOKE

J. Cuny, who was the victim of Bat ting SillTs attack. has joined Des- camps, manager of Georges Carpen- tier, in urging an acquittal, saying: -"Of course it is deplorable, hut is he entirely responsible He holds title too heavy for him. He is child who has been allowed to play with a gun.
 Descamps said Carpenter had all ways upheld the dignity of boxing.
 Don't rob him of the chance to recover from Ski that which he has lost" he pleaded.
 Their entreaties had no effect on the boxing officials. The color question wals in no way involved.
 The culprit, before judgment was announced, declared: When was plain Ski no attention was paid tc my tricks; they were only laughed at. But since I became champion people get angry"
 His manager, Hellers, said: Tt was bound to come sooner or later. Ski has d heart of gold, but nerves that he cannot master. He thought that his action would prove him a true sports man in the eyes of the spectators.
 He has often declared that, if nc longer able to box, he would sell shoe backing and be quite as rich. and in- sisted he would prefer to abandon his pugilistic titles if, not allowed to live as he liked"

B INDOOR BASEBALL
 TEAM WINS FROM MARTIN TEAM

The Battery B indoor baseball team tackled up another scalp on the tepee Monday evening when they swamped Zoon St. Germain's Boomers of the J. B. Martin Co.,, by a score of 29 to ,. The game was real game for the first four innings and then the velvet men blew up and from then on it was a walk over for the soldiers.
 This was the fastest game this sea son. The mill men starting off in fast style. The first three innings going scoreless, then the soldiers machine got started and from then on it was clock work.
 Never chance was lost for a double play If possible the soldiers played faster ball than last week in their game with the Nuggets.
 Sergeant Stew Wilson again finished the game in the box, striking out seven men and allowing one to walk.
 Lemieux at third and the Breaults at short played errorless ball.
 Coleman and Mills led in stick work hitting safe every time up.
 Due to the fact that the rules for in- door baseball are very complicated the base umpire gave several poor decisions for both sides. In sportsmanship the soldiers knocked off twenty per cent. of the score.
 Zoon the old timer, was all over the field, making a double play unassisted.
 Murphy for Taftville, starred in kick ing, nothing suited him, but as We know him of old, little attention was paid to him.
 Several battery men supported the wis itors prominent among them Labrecque who went so far as to interfere with the ball. giving the visitors one of their runs
 On Wednesday evening the soldiers play the Naval Reserves under It Craven. Sgt. Wilson in calling atten- tion to this game stated that he would do all possible to hold his men down but he realizes that when soldier meets gol something is bound to sbreak and witt 155 nm. guns to back them the soldiers are more than likely to send the Sea men CD home seasick. Admission is free and if possible thert will be an orchestra there to furnish th' gobs with some consolation.
