MAYS ID STAY WITH YANKEES,
 SAYS HUSTON

New York, Nov. 16-The question ''what is to become of Carl MayS?' which has been agitating baseball cir oles for the last week, with rumors that he was to be sent to the minors denied by equally unverified reports that he was to go to the Cincinnati Reds. appeared to be settled today. Col. T. L. Huston, part owner of the Now York Americn team has an- nounced that Mays will remain with the Tanks.
 It has been reported that waivers had been asked on the submarine pitcher. with a. "gentleman's agree ment'' among the major league clubs that no claims would be put in, and Mays would go to the minors. An other report stated that the Reds had blocked the move by expressing willingness to take Mays. and that the waivers were then reScinded.
 Without denying that an effort had been made to send Mays to the min ors Col. Huston said:
 "I've got two bets I want to make about Mays. I want to bet first of all that he will be a member of the Tank ball club next year. TheA I want to double that amount and bet Carl will win at least 25 ball games for us That's all I have got to say about this.''

G0LDSTEIN-vILLA
 BOUT TONIGHT

Pancho Villa, the sturdy little Fili- pIno. who whipped Johnny Buff for the Amerfcan f1yweight championship several months ago, tonight will have the honor of reopening Madison Square Garden to Gotham's fight fans. Villa will meet Abe Goldstein, an as- piring bantamweight, in the fifteen round wind-up of one of the best cards Frank F1ournoy has presented this season.
 Villa is not stalking his champion ship on tonights issue, as he has agreed to permit Goldstein to come in at 116 pounds. However. it is possible for Goldstein to make 1t a real championship battle. This he can do by making the American fly weight limit of 112 pounds this after noon Rumors have emanated from the Go1dstein camp that this is what the willy Willie Lewis has aimed to do ever since he secured the match. A championship with the possibE- ity of a crack at the aging Jimmy Wilde and his world title is worth the sacrifice of few pounds if Goldstein could be strong at the weight. Sew cra1 days ago Goldstein is reported to have weighed publicly at 115 pounds and close observers were of the opin- lon that he may have had a few pounds of tea lead secreted about his person He weighed in full ring cos. tune to make that low notch.

Yale Grid Followers Say Bulldog Will Defeat Princeton
Princeton May Need More Than Fighting Team" To
 Beat Yale On Saturday

Doubtless, Wisconsin is not feeling altogether genial over the Illinois re- verse and will go to Ann Arbor in the frame of mind of a party with nail in his shoe It will be a great battle but Michigan should win.
 All will be serene with the unde- feated teams not already mentioned, the Army because it draws Bates as an opponent. West Virginia because It plays Virginia and Cornell because it does not play at all.
 In the middle west, the Iowa Hawkeys would seem to be at least two touchdoWns better than the Ohio State Buckeyes while if it is pos sib1c for Notre Dame to lose to But Ter it is altogether likely that Nick Altrock is often mistaken flor Wally Reid.
 It is not impossible. however, that Vanderbilt might have it's Georgia and that Grinnel will make Drake step high, wide and handsome The dope says otherwise but the dope was ever a gay deceiver.
 Georgia has played good and bad football in beating off various south ern rivals and in losing to Chicago and Auburn while Vanderbilt, in holding Michigan to a score1ess tie, achieved one of the big moments of the eTidiron season.
 Out on the west coast the only un- beaten entry is the California Bear. It is not in the cards for Nevada to break the continuity.

 TEAM FOR TIGER
 TILT ANNOUNCED

New Haven, Nov. 16-U. N. SD Only a light workout will be given the Yale varsity today in preparation for the game with Princeton and early tomorrow the team will leave for Trenton, to await the big test on Saturday
 Although it is almost certain that Neidlinger will be given the call at quarterback, Charley O'Hearn has been going in for intensive bunting drills all week and his work in this respect has been one of the encour- sging features of the present situation at Yale.
 From present indications the team will start the Princeton game as fol- lows: Eddie and Deever, ends; Mil Ter and Diller. tackles; Cruikshank and Cross, guards; Lovejoy, center; Neidlinger, quarterback; Neale and Scott, halfbacks; Jordan, fullback.

ATTRACTIVE BOUTS
 ON DANBURY CARD


 Leo Johnson, will headline the box ing show in Danbury tonight with Harry Peterson of Stamford as his opponent in a ten-round bout Peter son is substituting for Young Luby, the local Lighter who will not be allowed by the State Athletic Com mission to participate in two bouts in three days. Luby boxed at the State Street Casino Tuesday night.
 The Johnson and Peterson alterca- tion should be a humdinger as the Contestants are two real fighters Both are clever and both pack a hefty wallop. Johnson, because of his splendid showing against Luby recently is being favored by local fans to whip the Stamfordite. Johnson is cool, clever, and foxy and skilled puncher. He makes all of his op- ponents around these diggfnS look foolish with his cleverness
 Nick Petite, will meet Young Dun dee of Port Chester in an eight-round seZai-windup. In another tilt Young Toronto, also of Bridgeport will trade wallops with Eddie Ginty of Danbury for six rounds

WILLARD FAILS TO
 FLASH OLD FORM
 IN 2 EXHIBITIONS

Los Angeles, Nov. 16-Jesse Willard made hs4 first public ring appearance last night since the day, three years ago. when Jack Dempsey wrestled his heavyweight boxing title from him. In the opinion of sport writers, the big Kansasan failed to show cham pionship form.
 The former champion boxed two exhibition bouts of two rounds each with Tom Kennedy and Joe Bonds, Los Angeles heavyweight, as the fea- ture of boxing program given at the Hollywood American Legion sta- dium for the benefit of assistance league for ex-service men.
 W. G. McAdoo, former secretary of the treasury and Mrs. McAdoo, daugh ter of former President Wilson, were among a number of socially promin- ent persons who attended. They were given an ovation.
 Willard received a rousing recep- ton. His two opponents, although large men, looked small beside him. Kennedy made the better showing, swinging four or five hard rights to the jaw, but Willard merely smiled and retaiiated mildly.
 Willard was quick on his feet and his rapid sparring, as one writer ex- pressed it, gave one the Idea he was not far. from being in fair fighting trim'' = -

 Saturday. So, also, may some of
 the other unbeaten football

 add to the general hilarity.
 The Tigers, the Wolverines and the Presidents, however, face the high hurdle of the day. It will astonish no one if the latter are knocked over by Pitts. Indeed, the prevailing i'm precision is that Pittsburgh is due. As for Princeton, the fact is recognized that it has preserved an unbeaten record at the expense of Harvard and Chicago, because it is a fighting team. It may need more than that to beat Yale.
 Reckoned along the fallacious line of comparative scores. Michigan is all of 27 points better than Wisconsin. The Wolverine, still to have its goal line crossed, beat Illinois 27 to 0 and the latter hung a to o defeat on the Badgers as late as last Saturday.
 That, of course, proves nothing be- yond the fact that vinegar will not turn sweet particularly if you are careful to keep it on ice.

Jack Field Sees Yale
 Workout

Jack Field, of Bridgeport, former Yale coach. and group of other oldtime Eli gridderS were at New Haven yesterday and watched Coach Tad Jones put the Bulldogs through g. dummy scrimmage in the rain in preparation for the annual battle with Princeton on Saturday. Followers of the Yale eleven are optimistic and predictions are rife that the blue will be victorious.
 A dummy scrimmage was the heav- jest work of the Yale varsity at the field in the last hard work prepara- tory to the Yale-Princeton game Saturday. A heavy rain fell through out the afternoon, but the practice was held out of doors so that the team will have the experience of nlaying in the rain if Saturday Is a bad day. The team had previously practiced in the armory this fall dur ing rain storms.
 The varsity played with the follow ing lineup through the greater part of the dummy scrimmage: Eddy. left end; Miller left tackle; Cruickshank right guard; Diller right tackle; Hull man, right end; Neid1inger. quarter back; Neale. left halfback; Jordo on, fulIback; Denver, right halfback.
 During "a part of the dummy scrim- mage Scott was at fu1lback and Deav- CT at right end. It is probable that both Scott and Denver will start the game against Princeton.
 Against this lineup the second team played with Luman and Hart, ends; Joss and Greene. tackles; Herr and Pillsbury, guards; Landis center: Becket. quarterback; Haas and Knowles, halfback; Cochrane. full back.
 Besides the dummy scr1mmages there was a long practice in kicking. bunting. There was also some prac- tice in breaking through and some work in running back punts.

LITTLE BOXERS Soung COrbett and s'IAid' Broad Give Three Round Exhibition at


 Young Corbett and Kid Broad. sometimes known as George Rothwell and Charles Broad, were the attraction at the coli scum at Pleasure Beach yester- day afternoon when about 1,4O0 people assembled to see them box and to see the Sacred Heart base ball team trim" the St. Joseph's 6 to 5. The three-round go of the little fighters was lively enough and though the men were overweight ithey made quite a snappy exhibition. The game of ball preceded the boxing bout.
 At the beginning of the ninth inning the score was, tied, each team having four runs to it's credit. The Hearts then broke up the hoodoo and the score was 6-5 at the end of the game. The game was well played and except before and during the game, there might have been a differ, ent score. The Hearts won the cha ampionshfp two years ago. Last year the St. Josept's took it away from them and so yester- day the Hearts had to take it back again.
 The interest in Young Corbett and Kid Broad is considerable. They have lmet previously and have showed that they are pretty fast youngsters. The three rounds had to feel for his wind because of the exertion. Broad also showed the effect of not having had a glove on to box in seven months. Still the ability to move hands, feet and heads at the The crowd was satisfied with the exhibition

By GEORGE E. FIRs1BRooK.

Lieut.. Jack Gerrity of the
 Bridgeport police department was
 clever mittser around these
 parts about sixteen years ago, in
 the opinion of some of the old
 time fight fans. George Cole of
 the Atlas baths in recounting
 some of Gerrity's featS in the
 ring declared one of the best bat
 ties ever staged in these regions
 was between Gerrity and George
 MulIgan in Perry's Hall, Fair
 field.
 According to Coles account of the fray the scrap was fought on the same methods employed by Gene Del mont in his fight Tuesday night with Kid Kaplan. De1mont waded through the shower of punches for twelve rounds in the hopes of planting a hay maker against the Silver City boy, but failed.
 Gerrity fought Mulligan somewhat on the same lines but was successful and furnished one of the most sensa- tional climaxes that ever topped off a fight hereabouts, in the opinion of Cole. Mulligan started off like a whirlwind and was leading nearly all the way with Gerrity on the receiv- ing end. Along toward the sixth round the fast pace set by Mul1igan Che fought the same style as Kap1an) began to tell and Gerrity finally wore him down, landing knockout in the last minute of the tenth round.
 Cole is also a booster of Teddy Fabric. of Fairfield, world war vet eran who was also a. live wire in the ring in his fighting days Fabric won two out of three bouts with Joe Marks of New Haven. Those bat ties were, f1ercely fought and at tracted the attention of fight fans throughout this section of the State.

 v Johnson has promised to drop a into the major league meet ing This. it seems. is to take the form of a demand that the American League either force the five large minor organizations to swallow the draft in toto, or suffer a boycott.
 Such action would break the major minor agreement, by the terms of which the American Association. the Pacific Coast League. the FnternatiOn- al League, the Southern Association and the Western League were declared immune firm the draft and automat- ically, would line up Johnson and I1andis on opposite sides of the fence.
