Special to the DemOcrat)
 New York, Nov. 16-Harfy New man, former all-American quarter back from Michigan and all-League ster for the past two seasons, makes his 1895 debut for the New York Giants tomorrow when the Nation al League champions defend their Eastern Division lead against the Boston Redskins in the Polo Grounds.
 Newman came out of retire. ment this week and is ready to take his place in the starting line- up as the Giants battle their strongest rivals for the berth in the Ed Throp Memorial trophy Headed by cliff Battles and Bill Shepard, high scoring back from Western Maryland, the Redskins threaten to tie the Giants for the lecd fl victorious today. Defeat for the champions would put them in virtual tie for second place with the team which was runnerup to them for the title.
 It will mark the second meeting of the two clubs this season and their eighth since the Marshall club entered the league. The first meeting this year resulted In a 20 to l2 victory for the Giants but Dale Burnett, who scored two ot the touchdowns, is out of action for three weeks because of broken ribs. The Giants have beaten Bos- ton four times, lost twice and tied once, but in all these contests the margin of difference has never been more than Q touchdown, so closely matched have the two teams been.
 Standing
 New York has won three and lost one, Boston has one victory over Brooklyn and two defeats on It's record 50 a win over the Giants would put the Casey coached club on even terms in the losing column with the titleholder.
 Ken Strong, who injured his ankle against Brooklyn, will be available for duty against Boston and he is anxious to get into the fracas for in Boston two weeks ago he was roughly handled on the field and came to blows after the game with Ernie Pinckert, former Southern California star.
 The struggle will mark the first Ney York appearance of Bill Shep- erd, high scoring college back of the country last Fall. The Western Maryland star, who played sensa. tionally against the Bears in the Chicago all-star game, will be al halfback for the first time thi! season. Eddie Casey has found new quarterback in Ted Wright which relieves sheperd of sigma calling worries and he is expected to be doubly troublesome now. Witt sheperd and Battles, all-Leagu' halfback( as his running mate thu Redskins have two of the bes running backs in the circuit.
 In the line too they have Turk Edwardrs, giant tackle, who it ranked almost on @ par with Bill Morgan, the Giants stalwart all- League tackle.
 A special train is bringing some 300 rooters down from Boston.
