LOSES IN
DECISION BY
lands
Judge Upholds Ruling Of Ma
tional Association Favor
ing Coast Clubs.

CHICAGO, Nov. IL. Charley
Deal. once the undetermined third
saclxer Of the Chicago Cubs, is
having his troubles even yet.
Charley took the third strike
with the bat on his shoulder
and Judge Lands was doing the
flinging. In other words, the
Judge affirmed decision Of the
National Association against Deal
after Charley had claimed $1,000
was coming to him from the Los
Angeles or Vernon clubs and also
that salary was due him.
Charley started the year az a
member Of the Angels. He became
i'll, he claims, and no salary was
forthcoming during that time.
Moreover, he said the Los Angeles
club promised him a bonus Of 81 900
for signing. That also was missing.
No written agreement was made
and Los Angeles denied IL
Charley finished up the season
with Vernon. That club did moth
ing for him. Then he protested
against his mistreatment, but the
L. A. officials say he never was
too i'll to keep him from playing.
Charley filed his claim and the
National Association turned him
down. So did the high commits
sioner.
Deal previously charged he was
framed" out Of the majors. The
truth was that he was brittle
type Of athlete and couldn't travel
the big league distance a6 In days
gone by. As q result the Cubs
sent him to Los Angeles.

PRINCETON NOW
TURNS TOWARD
YALE CAME

PRINCETON. N. J., Nov. 49,
The Harvard game has come and
gone, leaving behind it a band of
beaten but not discouraged foot
ball players. There is an atmos-
phere Of quiet around the Princeton
campus, but the general feeling is
that Harvard outplayed the Tigers
and deserved to win. At present
the team and undergraduates are
turning their attention to the con-
test with the unbeaten Yale eleven
in the bowl next Saturday. Coach
Roper has no excuses or alibis to
offer about the game.
1.-THE game speaks for itself.
Harvard played nagnificently and
we were beaten. Most of the
Princeton players came through
the contest in good shape. We
will try to forget what has hap
pened and turn our attention to
the Yale game, which is, after all,
the only logical thing to do" was
the extent Of his comment.

THREE FRENCH.
BOXERS LAND
FOR ACTION
Rumor That Georges carpen-
tier Will Sail This Month
for America.

NEW YORK. Nov. 1.-THE adj
vance guard of the French boxers
has arrived.
The new arrivals are Robert
Daspillion, Charles Raymonde and
Robert Diamant. They are train
ing under doc" Hirsch's direc-
ton in Yonkers.
Georges Carpenter, 30 Daspil-
lion says, is expected to sail for
America about the middle Of the
month. The French papers all de-
clare that arrangements already
have been made for Carpenter to
meet Tom Gibbons or Gene Tun-
ney in Madison Square Garden.
Daspillion also gives the enlight-
ening news that Eugene Criqui
also has planned to come to Amer
lea before the close OF the indoor
season, but now probably will
have to postpone the trip because
of a badly injured hand he recent
ly suffered in a charity bout with
a Belgian boxer. It had not been
thought In this country Criqui
planned to return to America be-
fore the next outdoor season.
Those who have seen the little
Frenchmen in action at the Holly
wood Inn Club in Yonkers declare
that Daspillion and Raymonde will
make 1t interesting for any Of the
American bantams and feathers,
and that Diamant may yet prove
Of real ring caliber.
In their workouts the three
Frenchmen have shown a world
of fire and combativeness, with
considerable skill, science and hit
ting power as well.
Raymonde claims a fourteen.
round knockout victory over Bug.
Ter Lake, who now is British cham
pion, and Daspillion, just before he
left France. whipped Mascarr. the
latest French sensation, who the
French papers declared another Le-
doux.
When Daspillion was asked why,
with the Mascart victory as a.
feather in his cap, he didn't stay
abroad and take advantage Of II, he
replied:
''Ther0 10 1lLLIe money In France
or in England. Eugene Criqui, who
is my friend and who I once was
sparring partner Of, advised me to
come to your country.

Raymonde and Diamant to come

our best to prove we are real

Surgical Operation
Puts Kline In
Condition
PITTSBURGH, Nov.

PITTSBURGH, Nov. 12.-
Frank 'fDash" Kline, former
star football player on the Nc
Keesport Olympic team, is
prancing about again after what
physicians declare is a remark
able surgical operation.
First, seven and one-half
inches of Kline's left shinbone
was removed. Then the shin
bone Of the right leg was split
and a strip exactly seven inches
and half an inch wide was re-
moved. This latter piece was
fastened into the space be-
tween the end of the left shin
bone.
The operation was performed
by DR.. Henry B. Thomas, Of
Chicago. Two years ago Kline,
noted as the fastest football
player in the State, suffered
q fracture Of the left leg;
necrosis attacked the bone.

NEW YORK HOTELS CAN'T
HANDLE ARMY-NAVY CROWD

NEW YORK, Nov. 12.-Saturday,
November "a, the day of the Army
Navy football game. will be one of
the biggest days New York has
ever known, according to Roy Car
ruthers, managing director of the
Waldorf-Astoria, who bases his
prediction upon the unusual num-
Der of requests for reservations
which have come to the Waldorf
for rooms on the night of the foot
ball classic.
"It is safe to say that we have
had requests for reservations three
times in excess of our capacity"
says Mr.. Carruthers. 1--WE have
already spent more than 5000 In
telegraph tolls refusing reservations
which we cannot accept. In many
cases we have endeavored to Sc
cure accommodations for guests at
other hotels, but that is becoming
increasingly difficult, and the indi-
cations are that many thousands
will be unable to secure accommo-
dations Of any sort on the night of
the big game"

ENGLISH RUGBY CLUBS
AFTER SOUTH AFRICANS

English rugby football clubs are

Huddersfield, Wigan and Halifax

haIroack in the Transvaal and
recognized as one Of the best in the

FRANKIE RICE TO END
DISPUTE WITH GARCIA

BALTIMORE, Nov. 12.-When
frankie Rice, local cave man., and
Bob Garcia, army champion meet
for twelve rounds before the Olym-
pic Athletic Monday of next week
at the Fourth Regiment Armory.
it will end a long -drawn-out CON
troversy among the friends of the
two boys.
Several weeks ago the two were
to have met, but sickness on the
part of Rice forced him to cancel
the bout at the last moment. Some
caustic things have been said on
the part of Garcia's followers. some
going SO far as to say that Rice
feared the army champion.
Last week the State Boxing Com.
mission ruled that Rice must carry
out his contract to box Garcia be.
fore entering any other agreement
to meet any other boy.
Rice is burning up under the
criticism of Garcia's friends, and
although not much of a talker. he
is quoted as saying that he will put
Garcia away before the limit and
show the fans that he was really
sick and not trying to run out of
fho match. 4

suit Of the fight. because, Of COURSE,
West was returned the winner.

was the battle staged at Brighton
