the twelfth Chanev battered Her man so hard in the last two rounds way. According to several of the New York papers. had the bout gone another round, Chaney would have recorded a sure knockout. In one Of Meade's boy pretty shaky in the knees, but the toll or the bell helped Clancy to strafghten himself out.
 What McKetricl< Says.
 Dan -McKetrick, Herman's mana ger, was asked about this bout in
 Teriden by a local promoter and the man who has a piece of Jack Dempsey declared that the Andy Chaney of that time would have lick ed any opponent in the world. Me Ketrick said that he believes Clancy has grown stale. but is of the opinion that he is not through vet and that Meade's boy has several good bouts still stored in his system.
 The result of Monday nights go only tends to substantiate McKet- rick's statement that it was not the real Clancy tha. Kaplan whipped in New Haven on that frigid night. There are many fight fans in the stiate who would like to see Chaney and KapIan come together again.
 There is a chance that this return n7atch may be staged, possibly in the Garden, as h. Is known that Chaney is more than willing to meet kaplan again

 It was only the next night after Kaplan won from "Kid'' Sullivan of Brooklyn in the Garden that Jack Bernstein received the decision over Herman at the Pioneer A. c. of New York Kaplan's bout was in a Fri day and Herman's on a Saturday.

mentioned of the obstacles which the tema had to encounter this season, and expressed his confidence of a chma pionship eleven in 1923. He complimented Coach Eddie Reilly for his fine work and said he hoped the little mentor would be back with the Red and Black next fall.
 Commissioner Lynn W. Wilson of the Board of Education, in a short address, stated that the Education Board is in back of all athletic ac- tivities in High school and all under takings will be given full co-opera- tion by the board.

When the Eastern League
 Tlagaatcs meet ill New Haven
 on Dec. 2S, they will consider
 the appeals of several ''outlaw''
 players for reinstatement, aC-
 cor6iing to reports. It is undcr-
 stood that Proxy Dan O'Neii at

 matter up with Judge Landis
 and paved the way for the sev-
 eral clubs interest to receive
 their men back into the fold.
 There are some sweet ball players outside the pale, who would look good in F. L. uniforms. They include Ned Dameron. crack first sacker of the Albany club. and Chet Sweatt ana Tamm of the same team, who jumped to the Oil league last season; Catcher BIl Fish of Pittsfied. who skipped to the railroad circuit in 121; Eddie" King. brother of Ken King, and Earl Potteiger, both of w Worcester, who went to the Steel leagues during the war; Petey Bur- nett, formerly of Waterbury. but at the time of his jump to the Steer lea gues with Springfield; Eddie Len nOX with Springfield; Bob Nesse nger of Pittsfield who has applied for re inStatem ent, and Lefty Harrington of There are probably others. too. whose names are not remember ed.

It has been often contended that Newfield Park would be an ideal spot to hold boxing shows. but the O'Rourke stipulation proved an effec- tive prohibition on the sport there.
 Herman-KapIan Bout Aftermath.
 The fans are still talking of the Neriden show last Monday night in which Babe Herman won a decisive verdict over Kid Kaplan, in the face of Kaplan's recent triumphs and the uninpressive record of Herman since his pilgrimage from California to the East.
 Peering into Herman's past since he settled in the East. it is surpris- ing indeed to learn that his perform ances have been nothing to rave about. In fact there is nothing on his escutcheon to show that he is a. really sturdy piece of fighting ma Monday night in putting the hooks into the Silver City pride.
 Herman's most important engage ments in the ring in the East nave heen with Billy Defoe. ANdy Clancy Vincent Pepper Martin and Jack Bernstein. Against these four mitt- swingers, the Californian has turned ir a poor report. The only one over whom he succeeded in gaining the award was Defoe, the St. Paul veter- an, who has been shuned into the background of late months with the result that little is heard of him in the way of fistic activity. Tn the other four bouts he finished on the wrong end, his most diSaSt rOus black mark on his record being the knock out he received at the hands of Vim cent Pepper Martin. who stretched him out for the full count in the very first round.
 Chaney Wins Thriller
 Andy Chanev whipped Herman in the Garden in what was voted by New York newspaper experts as one Of the m ost sensa tional bouts ever seen in the celebrated Temple of Swat. Chaney and Herman fought like wildcats with the blond Balti- more boy scoring a well-earned v1o- tory
 Both fought viciously from the clang of the gong in the first round until the end of the proceedings in

CHICAGO CUBS 'LObDINC UP" WITH
 YOUNG BLOOD FOR 1923 CAMP PAICN

The Chicago National League club will enter the 1923 pennant chase with team made up of more young players than any other aggregation ill the major leagues. The Cubs will also have one of the youngest, if not the youngest, pilot in the Big show" Bill Killefer who will man age the Bruins, being only 34.
 Forty players will report to Killifer for Spring training at Catalina Isl- and. From this array of talent it is expected to build a team which will be an improvement over the 1922 combination, although the latter made 8 fair showing. Among the fourteen pitchers on the roster who will strive for permanent places there is only one veteran. Grover Cleveland Alex snder. the grand old man of the mound. Alexander was handicap D. ped with a sore arm for a part of the 1922 campaign, but still has enough pitching proWess to be hear-

tily feared by opposing teams For the four infeld positions there will be ten competitors, with only Charley HOllOCheT at short assured of his place in advance. However it Is moro than probable that when the Cubs take the field in their first game of the 1923 season Ray Grimes will be performing around first base as he is too powerful a hitter to be easily displaced.
 Ten players also will battle for the outffeld berths. and the Bruins may have some new faces in the outer garden when the real Play bauu' sounds. The catching department should shows to great advantage in 1923 with OFarren, who has devel- oped into one of the best backstops in the National League. on hand to do the bulk of the work. O'Farren will likely have as his assistants a younEs CT by the name of Wirts and Leo Hartnett.
