Successful Life

The following statement made by II.
G. Wells in an article in the American
Magazine Is considered by many as
the most practical definition of a sue
cessful life: Wealth, notoriety, place
and power are no measure of success
whatever. The only true measure of
success is the ratio between what we
might have been and what we might
have done, on the one hand, and the
thing we have done and the thing we
nave made of ourselves. on the other

Pitt and w. and ]. Will Clash
Before Big Crowd
Nov.

PITTSBURGH, Oct. 29.-The an
nual battle between the Panthers
and Washington and Jefferson Is
in the offing and will be played in
the Pitt stadium Saturday, INovem-
Der Z. A capacity crowd is expected
at this game, as almost the entire
population Of Washington county
will migrate to the Steel City to
cheer for the Red and Black.

The Johns Hopkins University
eleven of Baltimore is the attraction
at the Pitt stadium this week and
crowd of between Is, 600 and 20, 900
is expected. Johns Hopkins was
met for the first time in football
last year at the Baltimore stadium
and gave the Panthers a very in

and xes-man, has been given the
air. We found the following ac-
count in Western paper:
exit Rob Roy Benton, of the
Bentons of Benton Harbor, from
the encourage of one j. Dempsey,
champion heavyweight of the
world.
According to reliable gossip
along Spring street, the man
who startled San Francisco a
month ago with the announce
ment that Jack Dempsey was to
fight Harry Wills for Floyd Fitz-
simmons had been dropped, sunk
and completely forgotten.
"In fact, when Dempsey opened
up his big ham and egg Juggling
joint in the, Barbara Hotel, last
Thursday night, Mr.. Benton and
his big stories were absent. Even
Joe Benjamin admits that.
Dempsey is said to have dis
covered that Benton was a liza
bility, and not an asset, and as a
result found Benton a position
outside his immediate family
circle, which Benton is said to
have protested against. How
ever, SO far the story is one of
the usual Benton secrets"

Ell WILL TURN
FULL POWER
ON ARMY
Ignores Custom in Opening
Up Before Games With Har-
ward and Princeton

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Oct. pa
Contrary to custom in past years
when Yale has taken the Army
game in her stride for the Big
Three contests and has tried to
save all her tricks for Harvard
and Princeton unless defeat stared
her in the face, Yale will put every
thing she has on the field against
the West Pointers. Dame fortune
has been hard on Yale this year.
With a team, defensively rated the
equal of any rival, when figured
man for man, fumbles and bad
breaks at the crucial moments have
dimmed Yale's chances to make loot
ball history.
Al victory over Army. fresh from
a 27-to-O triumph over Notre Dame,
would re-establish Yale as a first
class team and contender for East
ern honors. Consequently the array
of new formations which Tad Jones
has drilled into his men will be
turned loose Saturday.
Yale has opened up only once this
season-in the last moments OF the
Penn game when criss-cross and
a new pass formation were Succeas-
full enough to net two touchdoWns
and work the ball to the 5-yard line
for the winning score when a fun
BILE threw the game away. With
Tad Jones putting most OF his cards
on the table Saturday there should
be mighty battle, and lots Of
interesting sights for the Harvard
and Princeton scouts incidentally.
Saturdays game will be the
twenty-fifth clash between Army
and Yale. Since the series was
started in 1898, Yale has lost three
times, in 1904, 1910, and 1911. In
1922 and last year there was a
7-to-7 tie. Two years ago Yale
rolled up 81 points in the last half
after trailing Army, 10 to 0.
More than LOO cadets. including
the United States Military Acad-
envy band Of ninety-two pieces, will
make the journey here to see the
game. They will leave West Point
at 1880 a. m. Saturday in "a fleet
Of motor busses and will reach New
Haven in time to drill in the bowl
before the game.

CHICAGO, Oct. 29.--With Harry

be done in the wayaof repairs 70 the
White Sox outfield, II that worthy.
team Is to flourish during the lsSo
championship season. Possibly
Thomas GulIey is the person who
can provide the needed skill.
Guiley is one of two newconning
outfielders who may amount 20
something. The only drawback with
Thomas is the fact he is no speed
merchant. He was in 126 games
last season and swiped only TWO
bases. certainly not startling Per-
Torrance.
GuIIey is within an inch Of :, sing
six feet tall. He throws right
handed and bats left, and admits
being twenty-six years of age. he
was with Cleveland in 1922 and
1923, but spent last season with
Little Rock, from which club the
White Sox purchased him. In 126
games in the Southern Association
he made 80 runs, 176 hits for 29l
bases and had a. batting average Of
.377. His hits included 80 doubles.
is triples and IL home runs. he
played 125 games in the outfield
and had only five errors.
Young Jules Mallonee, who was
with the Sox for time last season
and was sent to New Orleans Of the
Southern Association, will return in
the spring. He hit 1856 for the Dur
ham, club. He stole 80 bases In
eighty-one games and made 70 runs.
OF course, that league isn't as fast
as the Southern. Mallonee was sick
after he went to New Orleans and
played but little there, finally going
home for rest. He is well again
and will put up a fight for the
spare field not to be occupied by
Mostil or Falk They are certain
of their jobs.
Ten of the players purchased or
returning to the Sox are pitchers.
They need only one more finger,
but more important j. an additional
outfielder who can hit, and q couple
of infielders. The winter is long
and trade may be made.

7 RACK GAMES

BASEBALL
Pitt Foresakes Diamond for
Cinderpath and
Lacrosse

PITTSBURGH, Oct. 29.-With
baseball abolished at Pittsburgh Uni
versity, special attention will be
gwen to the development of lacrosse
and track during the spring. The
Pitt Stadium provides wonderful
quarter-miIe track and 220 straight.
away, and with Frank j. Shea, OF
II 3-5 seconds quarter-mile fame as
coach, the Panthers will eventually
be a national figure in that very
important branch of intercollegiate
athletics. She had $50 men out for
the track team last year. even with
the poor facilities furnished. 1t is
expected to have the crowd in
creased to 400 or 500 for this spring.
The reason for abolishing base
ball was that it was found impossi-
bic to arrange schedule. When
the Pitt Stadium was constructed it
was decided to try to boost base
ball, playing the games in the
stadium, which provided an excel
lent field. AS there were FEW insti-
tutions in the Western Pennsylvania
district which supported baseball,
communications were sent to every
school within a radius Sof 400 or 500
miles, asking them to take trips
into the Pittsburgh district.
It was impossible to get any of
these teams on the schedule, fthe
month Of May being a poor time for
college teams to go on the road. A
schedule was finally arranged con-
sisting of about fourteen games,
four with West Virginia flour with
Carnegie Tech, and two with Penn
State as the nucleus.
The bottom dropped out of the
entire baseball situation when Car
negie. Tech announced its intention
of giving up baseball. This took
four games away from the very
meager schedule, and when the facts
were presented to the athletic
council it was decided it was fool
hardy to try and continue the sport.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1925-10-29

At any rate, the night Dixon
and Murphy met, the clubhouse
was packed, and at the ringside
were Murphy's friends and hackers,
accompanied by thugs of all de-
scription.
O'Rourke had tough time in
his corner, trying to attend to
Dixon and keep some of those
nearby at a distance, so they
couldn't blackjack the darby.
At one time during the fight,
when Murphy began to weaken,
there were wild scenes at the
ringside, and Patsy Kerrigan, the
noted middelweight of his day,
attempted to Stub O'Rourke with
a loaded cane. Jack McAuliffe,
the lightweight champion, who
was sitting close to O'Rourke,
grabbed Kerrigan's arm and prob
ably saved O'Rourke's life. Dixon
won the fight with knockout
in the fortieth round.
Years rolled by and Jack Nc
Auliffe, greater than ever, was
appearing at Madison Square Gar
den, offering $500 to any man
in the world, weighing 1873 pounds,
who could stay three rounds with
him. George Dixon was holding
burlesque show at Miners
Bowery Theater, and in the COM
pany at the time was Joe Wal
colt, the famous Barbados Demon,
who was being taught the finer
points of the boxing game by
Dixon and O'Rourke.
Joe happened to see the posters
which McAuliffe had ali over
New York, offering $500 for any
man who could stay three rounds
with him, and was quite excited
about it.
mat evening Walcott went up
to O'Rourke and said: "Mr. Tom,
wish you would. let me off the
show little early tonight. There's
fighter named McAuliffe offer
ing $500 to anyone weighing 1873
POUNDS who can stay three
rounds with him. / can win that
5000. I'll stay three rounds with
him. There's no man living that
can knock me out"
O,Rourke almost dropped. He
thought of the great favor Nc
Aulltte had done him years be-
fore, and knew what Walcott
probably do to Jack if he
got into the Garden ring. He
told Walcott that If he dared to
go up to the Garden, he would
fire him out of the show, and
Joe decided to stick with the
Dixon show.
A week or so later, O'Rourke
invited McAulfife down to the
Bowery Theater to see Walcott
tight. Joe, at that time was
knocking out three or four men
a night. After taking a peek at
Walcott, O'Rourke told McAuliffe
the story.
Jack slapped Tom on the back,
and said, "That's favor ri
never forget, Tom. That fellow
would probably have stopped ME
in three rounds"
