DUNDEE TO GET $7,5OO AND 37.h%
 FOR TITLE BOUT
Signs to Meet Callahan in Boston December g.
 Buckley's Guarantee

Boston, Nov 17.-UP)-vince Dundee of Newark, N. J.,, who recently won the world mid- dleweight championship from Lou Brouillard here, has signed to defend his crown in 15-round bout in the same ring against Andy Callahan, Lawrence southpaw, on December 8.
 It will be Callahan's first title bout, but the chunky ,sngger will not be without his following. He holds the New England welter- weight and middle-weight cham pionships, winning the latter honor by drubbing Brouillard before he won the world title.
 Little Fellow
 Callahan, who now weighs but 154 pounds, will probably lose several more pounds in training for the bout, and may be giving away
 as much as 10 pounds when he en- ters the ring. This, however, will
 be in Callahan's favor, since at about 150 pounds he is at his best | fighting weight.
 While terms for the bout were not announced, it was reported that Dundee will receive a $7,500 guar antee and 71R per cent of the gate while Callahan will receive the challenger's share of 121a per cent. The same source reports that Johnny Buckley, manager of the challenger, had agreed to furnish the guarantee after Max Waxman, Dundee's manager, had demanded $10,000. The Boston Garden man. agement, promoters of the bout, had declined to include guarantee in the contract.

 MINOR LEAGUES CURRENT STATUS
Best in Four Years Says Cardinal Big=wig-Of=
 ficers Get More Coin
BY STUART E.. JONES United Press Staff COrrespOndent)

Galveston, Tex, Nov 17-U.P) The annual convention of the National Association of Profession al Baseball Leagues will be wound up to-day.
 Only routine business was before the convention proper, chief of which was ratification of the cleo tion of Dan Hill, Asheville, pres- ident of the Piedmont League, as representative on the executive committee of Class B, c, and D leagues. Hill succeeds Dale Gear of the Western League.
 The executive committee, after session which lasted almost all night, practically cleared its slate.
 Undecided
 It appeared probable the con- vention would close with the Shaughnessy play-off plan still a controverted matter as far as al least one league is concerned. The International League recessed its meeting last night without having definitely passed on the plan.
 Frank Shaughnessy. it's origin ator, said sentiment stod six to two for the system in the International circuit. He expressed certainty some kind of play-off system will be adopted when the league meets in New York next month.
 The league reelected President Charles H. Knapp, head of the Ball. timore Orioles, to a sixth term. April IS, was set as the opening date of the 1884 season.
 Moonlight and Roses
 A optimistic view of the base- ball future was taken by Branch Hickey, vice-president and general manager of the St Louis Cardinals. Addressing the convention last night Hickey declared the minor league situatio his better than at any time before in, the past four years"
 On the platform with Hickey was William G. Bramham, Dur ham, N. C., attorney who yesterday was reelected president of the Ma tional association and given $2,- 500 advance in salary.
 Also reelected with salary in- crease was John H. Farrell, AL bany, N. r., treasurer of the asso- citation. Mike Sexton. Rock Island, III, former head of the organiza- tion, was elected permanent hon. orary president. Louisville, Ky, was selected as the 1894 convention city,

FOUR HANDBALL TEAMS FROM "
 WIN AT MERIDEN

1 Six of the Y. M. c. A. handball teams journeyed over to Meriden last night and came back with four matches won and total of 10 out of IS games. The feature game was that between Howard and Holloway of Waterbury against the famous Warner brothers of Meriden. It will be remembered, too, thath the Waterbury boys took over this same pair in the state meet last year, when previ- ously it. was impossible to touch these boys. Jackson and Wall took over White and Angletti, Sova and Coppola defeated Peterson and Crater, Summa and Greg. Lynch won from Backstrom and Sinio, Maistro and Levine lost the first match of the evening for Water bury to Demario and Miribella and the old-timers Walsh and Velte lost to Edwards and Vanderbury. Quot ing Tom Walsh: "The court was too slow for us. Their wooden backstop put us to disadvantage. Our fast balls, in a good court would have had them daffy. Wait until they come to Waterbury and we will show them.'
 The Meriden Y entertained very nicely after the matches with sand witches and coffee. A return match will be held in Waterbury next Friday.

SCALLY TO START
 AT PIVOT POST
 AGAINST CROSBY
FOetsch to Have Chance at Tackle With Tuckey
 at FullbaCk-
fspeciaI to the Democrat)

Naugatuck, Nov 17.-Tom Scally will probably start at quarterback against Crosby high Saturday, Coach Peter J. Foley said to-day. It is possible that there may be another lineup change, Foetch go- ing in at tackle. Hitherto Dick Tuckey or Minnicucci have handled the calling of signals. Foetch weighs 175 pounds and apparently Foley thinks he is good material. A rally was held to-day at the high school gymnasium. Princi- pal Charles P. Slade and Edward Kehoe, science teacher, giving talks. Various members of the team including Capt Dick Tuckey, D. Minnicucci, D. Kirk, F. Ed monds, Ed Enamait, D. Cowan, Louis Kechkes, Emmett Mooney, Larry Weyh, J. Daikus and Mama ger Jack Edmonds. The cheer leaders did their stuff, the band played and even more enthusiasm was shown than at the meeting of the previous week.
 Field in Shape
 Recreation field is in good shape for the game and although Nauga- tuck supporters are Loyalty hoping for victory many have lost some of the confidence they showed last week. They believe Naugatuck will do better than it did in Wa terbury but admit that Crosby stands a good chance to triumph.
 Practice was held yesterday by the locals and will be held to-day. Indications are that if the field is in any kind of good shape, the Naugatuck team will show 8 much wider variety of plays than it ex- hibited last Saturday.

Naugatuck, Nov 1.-The We'd nesday night division of the Uni versity Bowling league at the "" this week put Frank Lobdelps com- bine in first place when they won four straight from William Noble's. George Warmers team is in second

The idea being to beard the bor- ough lion in his den, Crosby's lads are full of the old fight and will be in the game every minute. though the absence of Mistura, Dunn and Dolan is something to think about. It was bad enough last week, but now it's worse, though the Crosby packers figure that if the Scho- fielders could outplay Naqgatuck with two good men out of action, one more less should not mean the game. Then, there's always Renzo and in his milder moments, Coach Pete Foley of Naugy will admit that he hasn't, or had, a player who can touch him at the grand old game of football. Certainly the mild-mannered Crosby boy was the cream of the crop last Saturday and is sure to figure in the game from start to finish for he doesn't bend easily.
 Ends Set
 Mulligan and Murphy will start on the wings for Crosby while Mo- Grath looks like the halfback start ed, with Joyce and DeSantis in re- serve. Officials have been agreed upon, all that remains is a good football day, for without game al Yale bowl, the crowd will take care of itself. Two o'clock is kickofl time.

When youthful Dennis K. Stan ley. Florida alumnus, took over the coaching reins for his alma mater this season, he set about drilling the Gators in the play diagramed here.
 This play, Stanley tells me, is the nearest approach to a power play from the Florida balanced line and puts plenty of pressure on the opposing tackle.
 Ball is snapped to No. 1 back, who cuts to the right and goes through between the opposing guard and tackle after the follow ing has been done:
 Back No. cuts over and, with the right guard who has pulled out of the line, smears the oppos- ing left tackle who has been per- mitted to come through. Back No. 1 partially blocks the opposing left end and goes on down to block out the opposing left half. Back No 2 and the Florida left end go through to smear the opposing fullback.

' -
 New York, Nov 1.-The old Herr professor was a worried man when we stopped by today to pick up his football selections. We spied him standing on his head on his front porch reciting his favorite bit of verse, Come into the gar den, Maud" .E '..
 The professor always strikes this stance when perplexed.
 Whats the matter sweet heart, we asked. .tt5
 "It's this (delated by the edi- tor) money situation" he replied. Two months ago I was worth $8.37 and knew it. Today-well, who knows what I'm worth? The pound used to be worth $3.5O and now it's worth $5.50. The French franc, which used to be worth 6.9 is worth 6.5, and the Polish zloti is worth 16 cents, and the Russian rouble is all tangled up in the in- ternational whiskers.. It's driving me utsnay."
 We suggested that he change his zloti and rouble into slot machine slugs, whose value never changes. But the professor didn't like the idea and said he's stay on his head until he found one that he did. Knowing the professor will be on his head forever if he has to. wait until he, himself. has an idea we appeal to you. The best suggestion will entitle the sender to acoupon, fhich, when filled out and returned with a certified checl for $50, will bring him six (6) aer. ial views of Kansas City, taker from a height of 500 feet and clear ly showing the Union station.

SpHtsandC
 from the w. M. Co. Loop

The Engineers bOwled the Smith Plumbers into the celler by taking three games. The Engineers are still keeping up their winning stride and it looks as if it won't be long before they will be in first place, so the EStimators better watch out, because they are two games ahead of the Engineers. Gazey who has been a sustitute for nearly every team in the league, took the place of Professor Burt and came through i'm fine style. There didn't seem to be much noise i'm this game and I guess the req son was that the "Rush System"
 was working perfectly and the Plumbers tried in vain to win. The Smith Plumbers must have forgot ten to get in their huddle, or was it because Husted didn't bowl? Bill Dwyer was high man for the Plumbers with score of 294. Bob
 White continued bowling his good scores for the Engineers and he was high for his team with S17 for the night.
 We wonder what happened to the Estimaters!n They lost three games to the Production Boosters. They have been changing their lineup too much lately and the team didn't seem to click at all during these games. There wasn't one man on the "Travy" Estimat- ors who bowled 100 in any of the the fast-riding Estimators have finally hit their snag and lost their first three games this year. Palmer and Travisano were high for the Estimators with 2S0 and Captain
 Roy Krom was high for the Boost CTS with 324. We'll, the new handi- cap may have some effect on the Estimators during the next round. Bill Caligan's Cost Team slipped again tonight and dropped two
 games to Mulholland's Chasers. E. P. COpp was on deck tonight after phOning Bill Caligan from New York this afternoon that he would
 be there. The Cost Team seemed quite encouraged because they won the first game by rolling 51S. Per- haps it was because Caligan rolled against an average and didn't have any competition. The second game, the ChaSerS decided to use sub to SC if they could stop the Cost out fit, and they called on "Pio" Shea
 to fill in. It was too much for the
 Cost team and they lost the second and third game. It is rumOred that Shea will he regular on the Chaser's team. The Cost team will have to try some new tactics in the
 next round to try and regain first place which they held some time ago. Captain MuIhOlland was high
 and "Anchor Joe" Dubiel bowled BOA for the Cost. It was heard that COpp will go i'm hiding again until
 the Cost Team improves. We SUD-
 pose that he is waiting for the
 team to move into first place again.
