Wednesday evening, Leo Weber,
living on the Elliott farm on the
Mccormick Lake road, about two
and one-half miles from Sank Cen
tire, was held up by masked high
wayman and relieved of his watch

When nominations for president
were called for at a recent meet

Frank M. Minette was recognized
and in glowing speech proceeded
to name James A. Caughren, the
well known capitalist and public
spirited citizen, as the head of the
organization for the year of 1914.
The presentation of Mr.. Caughren's
name was something of a sur
prise in most quarters but the
membership soon realized that the
selection would only be a partial
recognition of his splendid work in
behalf of the city to the past, and
he was elected by a unanimous
vote.
Frank Schwartz, who has been
employed in The Boston Store for
the past five years, resigned his
position with the firm last week
and left Monday for points in
Montana, where he expects to take
up land.

land match which finished in a tie, with Jack Prancny and Bill Dun leavy featuring for their respective teams.
 Tony Pope and his North Enders were all showing real form last week and every man finished up with a score over 300, to have a game pinfall of 1899. Bill Caya- naugll led the assault with 345, while Verrikcr saved one game for his team with a 119 single. The North Endcrs hit 571 for high single.
 Al Hadley came around just in time to prove the real hero of the week. With his team down by what appeared to be certain de- feat, Al started knocking them night off and won the first game and the Lord men fell right in step after that and walked home with four games and undisputed possess sion of first place. Dr Kilduff turn ed in some good bowling, but with tough breaks and no support he could not break into the win column.
 After a very poor start in which the "Undertakers" only hit 305, they came back strong in other two games with Frank Feelcy and John Mulville leading and broke even for the night. Jack Reilly's men had piled up enough lead in first game to insure themselves of pinfall.
 --:-
 Tom Collins, our new captain, proved himself to be real captain and finished up with marks in the last boxes of End game to col- lect 57 pins in these boxes and win game for his team by close score. It also meant pinfall as the pinfall was settled in their favor by one pin. Joe Bellville featured in other two games for the Plumbers who won by and pins respec- lively.
 Here is a score that looks good for the season. Joe Harpin'S team who have been showing great form since season opened, had . three game pinfall last week of 1850. Tom Murray led the parade by creating new individual high three of S79. With these nice scores the "Tail- Ors'' were only able to take three points, from COOke's team all or whom finished over 100 in the final to hit 56S without the handicap. These score sheets looked like real professionals.
 Frank Leary and Bill Cunning ham finished up with marks in 10th box of End game to give their team a small majority and enabled them to break even with the East End CTS who took final contest by a good margin to also win pinfall. None other than the Exalted Ruler saved the Chase entry from complete upset last week, Bob Wa ters hitting 123 to take first gRnle, after which Pat Gribbon, John SculIy and Art Young warmed up.

OBERLANDER QUITS FOOTBALL JOB FOR MEDICAL CAREER
Coaching "TOO Tough on Family" Says Wesleyan
 Mentor

Middletown, Conn, Nov 23-(UP) Jim "Swede" Oberlander, foot ball coach at Wesleyan university and former Dartmouth All-America backfield star, will quit the grid iron to enter the medical profess sion.
 Oberlander is making this shift in order to provide properly for his wife and two boys, he told the United Press.
 Wesleyan won the little three championship this season, but Oberlander declined another Wes- leyan contract as well as lucra- tive offes for other schools. He will enter the Lakeside hospital at Cleveland, Ohio, as an interne on January 1.
 Football coaching is a precari- ous and uncertain profession when a man has a wife and family to provide for" he explained. From now on, I'm going to devote myself to medicine. No matetr what I'm offered I will not succumb to the football coaching bug. It's fine thing to play around with, but it's tough on the family"
 Oberlander, famous as a Dart mouth player in 1925 and 1926, has been with Wesleyan since 1890. He was unusually successful with his teams. In addition to football, he supervised physical education and did some track and field coaching. Meanwhile he completed his medi- cal education at the Yale medical school.

COMMISSION JUNKS| SIXTHROUND BY RING REFEREE
Third Mans Decision Over- ruled For First Time in
 Gotham History
BY JACK CUDDY Limited Press Sfaff COrresDOndent)

New York, Nov. 23.-(UP).- Harry Lenny, manager of Raymond Impellettiere, giant American box CT, today was angled for a title fight with Champion Primo Car nera. Impellettiere was defeated lest night by Tommy Loughran in one of the most unusual bouts in ring history.
 Lough the Philadelphia phantom, who formerly ruled the light heavyweight division. won the 10-round decision before 5000 fans at the Coliseum, but only after he has lost the fight technically--for half minute-in the sixth round.
 Sudden Stop
 Referee Pete Hartley, former Durable Dane" of the lightweight division, halted the bout after two minutes and 10 seconds of the sixth round when blood-smeared Lough- ran was on the verge of a knock out. A smashing right uppercut from the 255 1-2 pound Impellett- tiere had split the lip and staggered Tommy.
 But Brig. Gen. John J. Phelan, chairman of the New York boxing commission, thought otherwise. He leaped from his ringside seat, his face crimson with anger. He waved his program frantically and shout ed at Referee Hartley. He ordered the fight to continue, and Commis- sioner Bill Brown agreed with him. Thus, for the first time in New York's history, 8 referees decision was overruled.
 Good Comeback
 Laughran came out fighting for the seventh. He launched a slash ing, stabbing attack that bewilder- ed the big fellow and pulled the fans out of their chairs cheering. Although Tommy weighed only 1S5 3-4 pounds, nearly 70 less than the giant, he completely out-fought him in the last four rounds.
 The United Press score sheet credited Loughran with six rounds to Impellettiere's four. Tommy won the second, third. seventh, eighth, ninth and 10th.
 The giant was impressive in the early rounds. Boxing experts ad- mitted he was the fastest Super heavyweight" on record. Five years of gymnasium training made him an excellent boxer-but a poor fighter.

Early in 1891, MacPhail had re- tired from a varied business career to purchase what was left of the Columbia American association baseball club. The team had not won a pennant since 1907, 50 ener- getic red-head didn't even buy good will in the deal.
 With a franchise in his pocket, the contracts of few second-rate players and the privilege of leasing a rundown ball park, MacPhail started in quest of financial back ing.
 He tried one major league club, but that club did not care to en- large it's farm system. He was ready
 to try another club when he met Walter Jones, a former business as-
 sociate, in Chicago. Jones sug- gested that he contact Branch
 Hickey, vice-president and general
 manager of the St Louis Cardinals,
 and secured an appointment with
 Hickey for him.
 The result of the Rickey- Mac | Phail conference was St Louis ownership of the Columbus club,
 and the club presidency for Mac
 Phail-his first venture in organ
 ized baseball.
 Had not fate sent MacPhail into Rickey's office, he might still be
 running the Columbus club, or he might have given up what at first seemed a gigantic task. He might never have entered major league baseball.
 MacPhail's term as president of the Columbus club was short and turbulent, but it was marked by speedy, outstanding results. The team had finished sixth in 1880. In
 his first season, it rose to fourth place and a new attendance record was established at the park. MacPhail was removed as head of the club in the middle of the 1883 season, but the team he had helped buip dwent on to win the league
 championship and the Little World series.
 It was MacPhail's unwillingness to agree to anything which might work to the disadvantage of the Columbus club which led to his
 difficulties with the Cardinal or ganization. He had boundless en- thusiasm and 8 passion for carry- ing out his numerous ideas quickly. He was a baseball personality in
 his own right; not a hired hand. " MacPhaail served as chairman or

 Cambridge, Mass, Nov 2s-(UP) Harvard coaches were standing pat on the lineups of A and B teams and indications were that the start- ing lineup against Yale will be the one that has been working together this week. Yesterdays workout was about the same as the one held Tuesday when the players started with a drill on fundamentals, and followed with a passing workout. a long defensive drill against Yale plays, and short but intensive sig nal rehearsal. The entire squad. including the injured Frank Lane and Dave Cheek, will be in uniform but it was expected that the lat- ter two would get into the tussle only long enough to earn their letters.
