We remember also the squawking from New York after the last bat tie in the Brass City. but we haven't heard any loud Wailing over the fact that Delaney was not handed the decision in his fight with Paul Berlenbach last Friday night. It ap- pears to us that if there was q squawk raised about the Kaplan- Herman bout last summer, then there rightfully should he a loud and racuous shout over the decision last Friday night.
New Britain herald., 1925-12-15

This Is q physiological advantage the New York fighter holds over the Connecticut boy and is q great help to him when the two are fighting. Kaplan believes that he will put Herman away and if he fights from the beginning the way he ended up the last bout in Waterbury Herman will have q hard time keeping his feet.

Owing to the closcness of last Friday nights decision and the be- lief of many that New York boYcrs are favored by the judges, Kaplan's camp is pervaded with the feeling that the champion will have to win decisively. A close battle, they think. will result in the title going to Herman and this Is important 10 Kaplan.

Herman. at that time. appeared to US to be too cautious and where he could have stepped out and beat Kaplan with margin that could not be doubted, he failed 10 seize his opportunities and therefore received an adverse decision
New Britain herald., 1925-12-15

Herman is n tough customer for Kaplan. The pair have met seven times in all and both know each others style of action. Both are bound to win Friday and as there Is a lot of bad feeling between the two, the fight will be a fight and not merely a boxing match.
 Memories of the last battle be- tween the pair staged at the East ern league ball park in Waterbury last August 2, give us the impress sion that if Kaplan fights Friday nights fight like he fought the last round of the battle in Waterbury, Herman will have 10 step fast and furious to overcome the lead the "kid' is sure to pile up

Pursuing the comeback" which has earned him the title of leading pitcher Of the league this year, Stanley Covcleskie. another product of the Pennsylvania coal mine dis trict, bids fair to be the champions mainstay in the title series. "Covey" won three world series games for Cleveland again Brooklyn five years ago. He has more then repeated his pitching record of that season this year to late, breaking into the select few of 20-game winners.
 Coveeskie, who is one of the few remaining spitballcrs in the majors, is also one of tho hardest working moundsmen. He is always in the game, trying as hard with two men out and no one on as with the bases filed. His major league career has been spent entirely with Cleve- land and Washington. He came 10 the champions last winter In trade for Pitcher Speece and Outfeldcr Carr Smith. Speece has twirled only fair ball while Smith has passed out of the Cleveland lineup. Cove leskie was born in Shamokin, Pa, July II, 1891. He started pitching with Shamol>in in 1908 and after a few years in the minors went to Cleveland in 1916. He pitches and bats right handed.

MCINNIS-pRATES

John Phelan (Stufy) McInnis, S5 years old and one of the most famous players on the Pirate roster. is very likely to see much service at first base in the world series. Only he and Eddie Collins, the Chi cago manager, survive one of the history's greatest infelds. the old Philadelphia American $1OO, 900 combination, which also included Jack Barry and Frank Baker.
 Mclnnis, a native of Gloucester. Mass, appeared in the professional ranks with New Bedford and Haverhill of the old New England league in 1908. The next year found him in Philadelphia and for nine years he remained there, suc- cessor to Harry Davis. In 1918, his usefulness considered at an end, Stuffy McTnnis was traded 10 the Red SoX and baseball men regarded the deal as gift, but while there he made one the games greatest marks, one error being charged against him in an entire season.
 Boston traded him to Cleveland in 1922 in deal for Joe Harris and Elmer Smith The Indians released him internationally later that sea- son and he went 10 the Braves where he hit .315. Before the pres ent season started he announced dissatisfaction with salary matters and was dropped, to be signed by Pittsburgh. He has been hig fac tor in carrying the team to tho pen nant

Tide Of Enthusiasm Threatens to
 EnGull Ticket Office Again

New York, Act. 1 Rl-A tide of football enthusiasm which has rush ed on apparently unchecked threat ems to cngulf the ticket offices again this season despite the fact that sev- eral great structures dedicated to the college sport have been or are in process of building 10 meet grow Ing popular demands.
 Ten millions, it was reliably esti- mated, saw last years football cam paign from coast 10 coast with thousands more turned away from the most important games, but in- creased facilities in every section of tho country arc expected to add twenty five to fifty per cent to this astonishing total when the last goal Of 1925 is kicked.
 Harvard, by erecting a horseshoe shaped structure of steel and cement twenty years ago, started the move mcnt which has swept across the United States and now finds gigantic stadia, monuments to the remark Iable growth of football in all sections of the land. The million dollar stad- ium is common now to the Pacific Coast and Middle West as well as tho cast.
 Today it is estimated that the eastern territory alone has increased it's capacity to 1,0O0,000 seats for any single football day this fall, with New York's three great baseball parks, Braves field in Boston and the Baltimore among the enclosures available for the sport.
 Yalc's famous bowl, seating 74,- 900 and the big structures at liar yard and Princeton each accommo- dating around 55,000 still rank among the largest in the east but it is in Pennsylvania that the main cX- amples of newer development are found. Here, the universities of Pennsylvania and Pittsburgh arc in- vcsting in projects that involve $2,- 000,000 each and will eventually provide in each case seating room for 100000.
 Franklin Field, Pennsylvania's athletic grounds, will have it's cap acty increased 10 70,000 before the middle of this season, with stands accommod odating 1OG,000 as the untiT mate aim. Pittsburgh's costly new bowl already can seat 70,000, will ultimately take care of 100000. In the hillside of the campus, Pitts stadium is regarded by experts as one of the finest in the country.
 West Virginia which erected but did not dedicate it's stadium last year, plans to care for 50,ooO with the addition of an upper tier Brown University of Providence has raised half of a structure which will care for 4o,0O0 eventually. Holy Cross also has half completed a stadium designed to seat SS.000 while Lafay- cite intends to have stands accom- modating 10000.
 On the Pacific coast, California s new stadium is the largest with act ual seating capacity of So,oo0 besides standing room, while in the middle west, Illinois has a sH,o00,o0O stadi- nm. Ohio State and Michigan also have dedicated big modern struc- lures.
 As indications of the growth and size of footbalI structures. thc fol- lowing list of more important stadia in the east is Of interest.
