PLANS WORLDS
FINEST GOLF
COURSE

NEW YORK. Oct. 29.-The great
Elizabethan manor of the late Will
lam Rockefeller at Tarrytown may
be converted into clubhouse, which
would mark the center of one of the
finest golf courses in the country,
il negotiations certain New Workers
are carrying on today are successful.
1t is proposed to buy the entire es-
tate and to build an exclusive golf
community on it which would rival
the fashionable clubs and courses on
Long Island.
Oliver Hartman and Percy Rookie
Teller are reported interested in the
project. The purchase price was
said to be about 100000. The
initiation fee at the club probably
would be $4,000, so as to assure it's
permanence as "a rich mans club"
The course probably would be laid
out under direction OF the comm,
tee which planned the Congressional
course in Washington.

NAMES SEEN
ON HORIZON
Leas, of Princeton, and But
terWorths, of Yale, Send
on Youngsters.

Next year may see a Lea for
Princeton against a Butterworth
for Yale again after the passing
Of generation. That would make
the old boys bark back to the
early eos and bring back some
sweet memories Of the days Of the
smashing, crashing, old style game.
Biffy Lea, 1t will be recollected,
was All-America tackle at Prince
ton in 1894 and 1895. Frank But.
terworth was All-America fullback
at Yale in 1898 and 1894. In 1894
Lea met Butterworth time after
time in great scrap which was
won by Yale, "a to 0.
Now Ben Butterworth, son Of the
famous Frank, Is tackle at Yale
and has played in some of the
games this season. Last fall Ben
was the star of the freshman team.
BY 1924 young Butterworth is
expected to be a lipeman OF the
old Yale stamp.
Biffy LEAFS son is q member of
the Princeton freshman team, and.
Judging from the way he stood
out in the scoreless tie with Mer-
cerbsburg last Saturday, B fly Junior
will be among those present when
the Tigers Of 1924 take the field.
So in 1924 1t may be Butter
worth smeared Lea on the next
play" Or Lea took out Butter
worth neatly" Football is all the
richer for the revival of the old
names OF the old line ups.

GIANTS TIGHTER
THAN PULLMAN
WINDOW
Division Of World Series Re-
ceipts Show They're No
Spendthrifts.

Ball players have never been
known for their freedom in spend
ing.
The majority are reputed to be
al close with their money as
Shakespeare's well-known gentle
man in 1.-THE Merchant Of Venice. e
The action OF the New York
Giants in splitting their series
checks would tend to bear out
that belief, says the Observer in
the Philadelphia Evening Ledger.
Jim Tierney, the travelling secre-
tary, who looked after the boys on
the road and lid a lot to relieve
them OF small troubles, was not
given a penny. Eddie Brannick,
the genial little secretary, was
voted $3.50.
Apparently the Giants believe in
keeping the money strictly among
the players, though even there some
snubbing was done. HuntZinger and
Leete were given only $3.50, but
Denny Gearin, who was with the
club but a short time and who
pitched one complete game, re-
ceived $1,000.
The action of the Giants IN this
case were not surprising. They
had shown on other occasions that
their pockets were lined with fish.
hooks, as the saying is.
Tierney had proved himself q
good fellow and had done a lot
of favors for the players. He had
right to expect that he would
be declared in" on the cut.
The Yankees didn't forget their
travelling secretary, and gave Mark
Roth a check for $1,000, but Tier
Giey wasn't even handed a thank
,ou" for his seasons work.
OF course, all ball players are
not like that, but the Giants this
year certainly lived up to all tales
and traditions that have grown

Of the second boxing show Of the
season at the Fourth Regiment Ar
mory tonight, when thirty-eight
rounds of boxing will be on the pro-
gram. The bout win go over the
12-round route and will be staged by
the Olympia Athletic Club. The fans
Of the city have long awaited this
bout. Benny Franklin, promoter Of
the Olympia Club, ever on the alert
to satisfy public demand, has ar
ranged the fight.
Rice figures to knock Garcia out.
He has trained faithfully for the
bout. This is something unusual
for the Baltimore boy, for he usually
goes into his fight with more con-
fidence than training.
Garcia, who Is always in first class
shape, predicts that he will win the
fight. He is basing his judgment on
his two victories over Williams.
Williams Is a far more experienced
man than Rice, and Bob figures that
Rice will not offer NE same clever
opposition that the former champ
had up his sleeve.
In the semi-windup Chick Ward.
the pride Of the Tenth ward, will
exchange blows over the six-round
route with Mickey Mooney, of Tren-
ton, N. j. Ward fought a draw at

they are Edwards and Rosenberg.
Both have come to the fore after
Impressive showings against the
best boys in their division. They
have taken on all Corners and have
emerged with their colors flying.
Tomorrow nights bout will be a
severe test for both. A defeat will

One Husky Woman
With Club Routs
Grid Team

PITTSBURGH, Oct. 29.-The
Casey Independents, q leading
semi-professional football team,
was defeated yesterday after
noon in a brief encounter with
q militant woman with a club
in one hand, a rock in the other
and fire in both eyes.
The Caseys had assembled in
East Lacock street, little used
on Sunday, to practice a few
plays. An ill-directed kick sent
the ball against a window of a
nearby residence. A wrathful
woman of middle age emerged.
Aiming herself with a wicked
looking fence paling and a big
piece Of cobblestone, she pro-
claimed in few well-chosen
words what would happen if
practice was resumed.
The husky grid warriors saw,
heard and meekly withdrew.
The debacle was complete.

Notre Dame went back to South

defeated two representative Eastern
elevens.

he has succeeded. His backfield is

The plays are beautifully timed and

star against Boston College. He
scored his teams lone point after

Boston College will play Marquette
