M'TIGUE DEFENDS TITLE THIS FALL

NEW YORK, Oct. 1S.--Mike Mo TIgue, light heavyweight champion of the world. today signed, with Pro- moter Tex Rickard to defend his title in 15-round match with Gene Tun- ney of New York, holder of the American light heavyweight crown, in a 15-round match at Madison Square Garden on December 10.
 The match, which has been hang ing fire ever since McTgue. returned fnom Ireland early in the year, with the title he wrested from Battling Ski, was clinched at a conference between Rickard and the Nval man agers, Billy Gibson for Tunney and Joe Jacobs for McTigue. -
 McTigue has had but one decision match since he won the 175-pound crown. That was his recent affray with Young Stribling at Columbus, Ga, where Referee Harry Ertle of Jersey City. declared the contest a draw. McTigue was forced at the point of a gun to go through with the match after an attempt had been made to call it off because of an alleged injury to the champions left hand in training. Before and after the contest McTigue and his party were the storm centers of popular outburst.
 McTigue accepted Richards terms today after receiving an offer from Jim Coffroth, promoter of Tia Juana. Mexico, for fight there either with Battling siki or Tom Gibbons of St. Paul.
 Tunney regained the American light heavyweight title from Harry Greb of Pittsburg, now middleweight champion in a 15round match at the Garden last winter.

Muddy Field Slows Up Play And Many Fumbles
 Result

JACKSON, Miss. Oct. 1s.-CSpe- cial. = The Birmingham Southern Panthers won a meagre victory over the Millsaps Majors here today on the state fairground field. The score was to and was 6attled on a mud-soaked field. With small but noisy crowd to witness the two teams played slow game. The mud slowed up play considerably and caused many fumbles.
 Both touchdowns were made aft CT blocked punts by the two teams. Capt Big Hoss9 Candy and Aubrey Miller were the stars of the contest.
 Rain fell throughout the whole game and at one time it was decided to postpone the game. The Partners showed a weak offensive against the Majors and their passing game, up- on which they largely relied was useless on account of the wet ball. The Majors line held strongly in the pinches and the battle was an even one.

 California

NEW YORK, Oct. 1S.-with the last pay checks and their "cut" of the worlds series in their rolls. prac- tically all of the Giants and Yankee players had departed from New York today. Most of them went home to widely scattered points.

 Miller Huggins, manager of the champion Tanks, said he would re- turn soon to Cincinnati and then would make. 8 trip to Los Angeles.
 Both the Giants and the Tanks will train in California next spring, ac- cording to reports Resignation of Kid Gleason as manager of the White Sox caused much speculation in baseball circles here. Gleason. it is thought, will remain in the Amer ican league and it would be nc sur prise to see him at the head Of the Detroit Tigers next year.

BAYLOR HIGH IS TRAINING H AR D
 FOR ENSLEY GAME
Expect Tough Battle With
 Yellow Jackets ln Chattanooga

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. Oct. 1s.-- Special )-Baylor schools football team of this city is going through its hardest and most consistent training of the season in preparation for their encounter with the fast Ensley High school eleven of Bir- mingham here Saturday.
 So far this season the Baylor eleven has managed to win two of their three starts. Their defeat was at the hands of the husky Nashville Central High school team. Coach Jimmy" Rike, who has coached Chattanooga teams for many years with goo results, Is banking his hope this season. in large degree on his two exceptionally fast midget backs Bill" Bush and Curly Gfroerer, both of whom are as fast as streaks of lightning ant are expe- rienced men, each of them having made the local mythical all-city se- lection for the past two years and have kept up their good work in the early games this season. The Baylcr squad this year contains 12 letter. men, and several formidable new corners.
 
 the first string eleven are: Happy Hill, a guard, weighing only about 40 pounds; Butler, at center, and the Hanks are well cared for by Ernest Alley and Dave ("Chick") Landress, each of them having at one time made the all-city team.
 Coach Rike relies chiefly upon the forward pass and running ability Of his team Roy Witt at fullback, a heavy man, is the principal battering ram. for his team on plays thrt ugh the line, most always tearing off a few wards as a result of this attack. The writer, who witnessed the Cen tral- -Ensley scrap last week, believes that the Baylor Ensley teams are about evenly matched in weight and speed. It is cinch that the Baylor line will have a hard time stopping the rushes of Lowery ct al. for Coach "Jim" Bryan's team. The Ensiey outfit also have a bewildering for ward passing attack, which will more than likely cause the Rikemen considerable trouble. The ence unter will be played Saturday afternoon at 2:SO o'clock on Chamberlain 1ield, the home of the University Of Chat tanooga Moccasins.
 The probable lineup of the Bay lorites follows: Landress, left end :; Llllard, left tackle; Cantrell, left guard; Butler, center; Hill, right guard; Shando, right tackle; Alley right end;s Bush. quarterback; Gtroe- rer, left half: Gardenhire, right halt. and Witt fullback.

Bulldogs Entrairl
 For Jackson To Meet Choctaws

Coach Harris G. Cope. trainer of the Howard kennel, picked 23 thoroughbred Bulldogs from the lot and entrdined with them Thursday night for Jackson, Miss, the camp of the Mississippi Choctaws. These self same Bulldogs will be biting at the heels of these selfsame Indians fri day afternoon at the state far grounds in Jackson.
 If for no other reason, the Bull dogs should take Ine Sippians' scat because they twisted the tail of the Panthers here in the Magic City last weekend, and it should be a source of revenge to Magic City fans to have the Baptists bring home the bacon to the stamping ground.
 A notable fact of the list read by Coach Cope at skull practice We'd nesday was that the names of Toby Stubbs nor Frank Norris, letter men, were not announced. This is due to the fact that neither of these two men have been to the two practices held this week. Polly Scoke1 will be the half back berth of Stubbs' with Goose Williams on the flank of Norris.
 The team will throw it's full strength at the Mississippi Baptists, with Ham" Stevens. star quarter back. and 'Bo, 3rindley in his old place at snapping back. Neither of these two veterans entered the Au- burn game and Brindley's backing of the line was sor-,y missed as was Stevens triple treating.
 The probable lineup to start the fray. in Jackson Friday will be: Captain shelton and Williams. ends Kelly and Garfield, tackles; Brooks and Rains, guards; Brindley, center; Stevens, quarter; Scokel and Me- Carthy, halves; Lollar, full. The re- serve strength carries along in cludes Sheppard, end; Lasseter and i Dandy tackles; Lent Brewster and Spieer, guards; Claud Brewster, cen- ter; Tinklepaugh. White, Gaylord Bolen and Weber, backs. Manager Dick Nunnelley was taken along to look after the trunks and the gen. eral comfort of the team.
 The Bulldogs have never had in recent years annexed contest from the Choctaws and are anxious to do the same this year. They will be handicapped this week by the fact that only two Agood practices have 1 been put in, light one C., Monday l and a regular scrimmage on Tuesday with skull practice on Wednesday and the general previous days rest on Thursday.
 The Bullpups were unable to schedule game this week and as i a result they will idle, their record i still being 5p0tieSS,

PAPYRUS AND ZEV PHYSICALLY ALIKE

NEW YORK, Oct. 1S.-So far as physical measurements go, Zev, the American horse, and Papyrus, his English opponent, are about evenly constructed.
 It is probable that Zev is some what lighter than last August. the latest figure available, when he weighed 1,070 pounds. 30 more than Papyrus and generally heavier than three-year- in training. Through the heart Papyrus is the stouter.
 Their respective measurements are;
 Papyrus-Height. Is hands, 3 inches; girth, 73 inches; between eyes, "A inches; point of hip to hook, Al inches; cannon btne. SA inches; withers to ears, 33 inches; fore arm. IS inches; withers toepoint of shoulder, 29 inches; withers to croup, 30 inches.

Tigers Ready 10 Sweep Down For Big Battle Here

SEWANBE, Tenn, Oct. 1s.-Crouch- ing. in the hay mountains of south ern Tennessee, a Purple Tiger is to- day ready to leave it's lair and creep into the iron-ribbed hills to the southward for their annual setto with the Alabama Crimson Tide.
 Birmingham, Saturday will be the scene of the thirteenth annual Se- wanee-University of Alabama foot ball scrap-always a fight to the naught. A contest heralded as one of the sorth's collegiate classics
 Today the Tiger tappered off its week of training and of grind-a week spent in toll following the de- feat handed them by the University of Texas last Saturday down on the Lone Star state plains
 Sewanee will be the fighter of old Saturday when they face the Grim son Tide-eleven victories and two draws out of the past eighteen bat ties serve to give the Purple Cats con- dence in meeting the Tuscaloosans.
 "Sewsnee's right" is the cry that today Is sweeping the mountains, and at dawn this afternoon, the Tigers were en route to Birmingham for the battle. A large number of students are accompanying the team to the Alabama metropolis for the affair, eager to see their eleven up- set the experts predictions that the Tide is set for a victory.
 To Heinie Powers in the back, Se- vance will turn her hopes Saturday for returning the ball through the Crimson. To the charges of Miller, and others of driving line caliber, will Sewanee loop to crash holes In the Alabamians' defense.
 The same lineup that opposed Texas is expected to start the game.

CHATTANOOGA TO PLAY MERCER AT
 MACON SATURDAY
Coach MeAIIister Running Team Hard For Big
 Battle

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Oct. 1S.- Special. .)-coacf1 BEilf McAllister's University of Chattanooga eleven, which will play Birmingham South ern college soon at Gadsden, Ala, Is becoming primed for their annual set-to with Mercer universitFs strong outfit at Macon Saturday, The Moccasins have had a stormy season to date. They maNaged to defeat the week Bryson eleven by a score of 3o to 0 in their first start. But they met their Waterloo in the form of Bo McMillian's hefty Centenary col lege gridiron stars at Shreveport In their second game of the season. be- ing route with 46 to defeat.
 At home last Saturday the McAl- lister-Talman combination received their greatest surprise of the season when the reputated weak Cumber- land football team, coached by Roger ("Thug") Murray, former star with Sewanee, piled. up a big lead upon them in she first half of the game, but the University of Chattanooga athletes finally man. aged to get going, the score at the finish standing 19 for all.
 Much hope is felt in the Moccasin camp that Capt. Harry Cate. depend
 
 past three years, will be able to play against Mercer Saturday. He Is threatened with blood poison from a series of boils on his srp and it Is extremely probabis that This condi- ton will not justify his being used in the Mercer game. Cate is especially valuable to the team in tossing for ward passes. always an essential part of the McAllister style of attack. He has an edCe in the bunting, too, on his running mates and there Is no other player on the University of Chattanooga teah to match his broken field running as he has an unusual ability to twist in and out among his enemies.
 Connie Givens, at quarter back, Is playing his usual rast game for the Moccasins this year. running the team in a fine fashion and always making his share of the gains. Pete" Anderson, subbing for Cate, Satur day, showed lot of class and will more than likely stick with the first team at some other position in the backfield for the balance of the sea- son. Viers and Bill" Dyer are the mainstays of the line with skinny" Daniels and King showing good form on the ends. Among the newcom- CTS on the University of Chattanooga team this year are four exceptionally fas. backs, Baxter and "Tubby'' Ter rell, Smith and Wyatt, the latter be- ing knocked out for some time by the terrible Knee during the game last Saturday.
 Coach McAllister announced to- day that he will start the following lineup in the Mercer game: Daniels, left end; Dyer. left tackle; Wallace, left guard; Viers. center; White. right gu-rd; Gray, right tackle; {; King, right end; Givens quarter back; Barnes, left half; Williams, right half; and either Cate or An derson full back

COLLINS MAY BE
 WHITE SOX PILOT

CHICAGO, Oct. 1S.-Eddie Collins. captain and second baseman of the Chicago White Sox probably will be selected to succeed "Kid' Gleason as manager of the club, it was reported Tn baseball circles tonight, although President Comiskey of the Sox would not confirm or deny the re- port. Comiskey said no announce. ments of Gleasons successor prob ably would be made until after the annual meeting of the American league here in December.
 Collins has been with the Sox for ten seasons and on numerous occa- slons successfully directed the club tduring Gleason's absence. Collins at one time was under consideration tor manager of the New York Yam kees but trades involving his trans fer to the Yankees fell through.
 Collins is regarded as one of the bralnest playest in the game. He finished the 1923 season with an un- official batting average of 1862 and , led the league in base stealing, de- ] apite an injury in midseason that forced him out of the game

PRINCETON, N. J.. Oct. 1s.-Em- ploying plays used by Notre Dame in it's previous games the "Omelettes, Princeton's scrub eleven. made seven touchdowns m practice yesterday against the varsity, and undergrad uate hopes began to dimish that Princeton would beat the Indiana university in their intersectional game Saturday.
 The val sity also scored making three touchdowns, but this was more due to the weakness of the scrub de- fense than to any fault of imitation of the Indians attacking ideas. Par ticularly were the Omelettes able to work forward passes. Coach Roper put his backfield candidates through bunting practice. candidate for a guard position will be determined today and he may get into the game.

SPRING HILL WILL PAINTERS DEFEAT PLAY ON SUNDAY MILLSAPS z TO 6

NEW ORLEANS. Oct. 1S.-The an nual. football game between Spring Hill' college. Mobile and Loyola Uni versity of this city, will be played here Sunday as a result of a com bination of unusual circumstances. Loyola and Tulane University are adjacent. only a narrow street sep arates their athletic fields and Tu- lane is scheduled to meet Louisiana Tech Saturday, Loyola and Spring Hill desired to get together at the same time but the prospect of two sets of battling warriors and two mobs of howiing spectators almost within whispering distance of each other was too much to worry over. Then, too, many fans wanted to wit ness each contest. Loyola and Spring Hill athletic authorities settled the question by scheduling their game for Sunday
