HARDEST GAMES ON SATURDAY'S SCHEDULE FOR LOCAL SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES TEXRICKARDTO HAVE REAL CLUB Famous Proinotor Is Also Thinking He Will luy Madi son Square Garden i New York, Nov. 8. A boxing club operated along the lines of the Na tional Sporting club of London Is Tex Riclcard's Idea of whftt New York needs in order to put the sport on the plane it should bo. The big promoter at present is negotiating for a five years' lease on Madison Square Gar den and expects to close the deal with in a few days. As soon as the stock holders get together and vote on the matter Receiver McCall will issue the necessary documents. Rlckard hinted that he might even go a step further and buy the Garden outright. "I believe New York ought to have this fine big arena for public gatherings of all kinds," he said. "For a long time I have had the idea In my head to get a number of wealthy men together and buy the property. All but the main hall could be sold again in small lots. The arena itself would bo a paying proposition if managed properly, but the rest of it is merely going to waste. Just Like Iyonclon Club "T think that a club run along the lines of the National Sporting Club of London would be a big success. Box ing could be made immensely popular ff it were handled by responsible per sons. There always is a big demand for the right kind of matches, but the respectable element will not attend bouts at the smaller clubs because of the surroundings. "Over in London they have the right idea. The National Sporting Club con trols the sport aild the boxers and their managers are not allowed to dic tate. The men back of that organiza tion have the good of the sport at heart, and they pay the fighters Just what they are worth. There is no at tempt to misrepresent the ability of the boxers. There is no sidestepping dangerous opponents, but every cham pion is compelled to meet the most formidable contenders at stated inter vals. There Is no reason why New York cannot have the same kind of a| club." DILLON* TRAINING FOR GIBBONS | St. Paul, Minn., Nov.

PENNSYLVANIA'S GREi4r j HOWARD BEftgX PENNSYLVANIA 4 Howard Berry, said by experts to be one of the greatest football p'.ay ers the country has known, is back in the line-up of the University of Minor Leaguers Seeking Change in Agreement New York, Nov. 8. Bent on doing several things to the National agree ment, primed with suggestions of many sorts, broken in pocketbook but not in spirit, the minor league base ball magnates of the country begin to-day to step into the limelight. They are on their way to New Orleans, where a week from to-day they will open tlieir annual meeting. The minor leagues have been in a bad way for a long time, and many a bush town mogul has oeen spending his night without sleep trying to figure out a plan whereby baseball can be made to pay in the smaller towns of the country. Nearly every one of them has planned some sort of a sug gestion and the air at New Orleans is going to be full of them. New York is entertaining its share of the minor magnates to-day, several coming here to take a steamship for the Louisiana city. Jimmie McHill, owner of the Indianapolis American Association club, and his manager, Jack Hendricks,who spent election day in New York, will become members of a party which will sail to-morrow. Ed. G. Barrow, president o fthe In ternational League, will make the trip down the coast and ex-Governor John K. Tener is expected to be aboard. Redistricting plans are part of the rumors flying around regarding possi ble reorganization of the small ujr cults. These reorganizations as plan ned call for splits in present circuits that are almost unbelievable. Drastic measures wil be suggested and there are some magnates who believe at least a part of them will be adopted. The minors feel they haven't been getting good treatment and they want some changes in the National agree ment. Also, Dave Fultz has a bone to pick with the magnates, and some new demands already are in possession of the National Board for submission at the New Orleans meeting. Some of the minors want represen tation on the National Commission. Make Lumber Repairs Now Replace all rotten pieces before winter begins in earnest.

Al though the Yalo bowl will hold more seats when the Harvard football eleven plays here on November 25 than ever before, tho Yale football management admits tho impossibility of caring for the large crowd. The order given by the committee of 21, which has charge of the bowl, to build about 9,000 more seats is being carried out, but applica tions for tickets from Yale and Har vard alumni and undergraduates, which closed yesterday, cannot be filled. In permanent seats the bowl con tains exactly 60,617. The additional seats which have been ordered and which are being constructed on the parapet of dirt which, piled up, gives tho bowl its shape and Its name, will bring the seating capacity to about 69,000 people. As there are some 40,000 alumni of Harvard and some 20,000 graduates of Yale alive, the Yale management cduld do llttlo better than distribute one ticket td each graduate, If all should apply for seats. So few really apply that tho Yale managunont is giving four to each alrfmnus, and to each un dergraduate, for that matter, this year. It will be readily seen from the above figures that It Is impossible for the football management to go beyond the alumni and undergraduates to any extent In distributing the tickets. Harvard has already asked Yale for 24,000 tickets and this amount will be sent to Cambridge. • When Harvard played here two sea sons ago, in the opening game in the Bowl, about 69,000 people were pres ent, the 60,617 permanent seats being tho same as at present, and about tho same number of temporary seats being built. Last year when Princeton plaved here the Tiger alumni and undergrad uates took only 7,000 tickets. Yale sold 48,000 and there were only about 55,000 people in the bowl. Applications have already closed for tickets to the Yale-Princeton game in Princeton next Saturday week. The formal applications from Yale for tickets to that game numbered 11,300 and it is now certain that Yale will take half of the 34,000 tickets for that game. This means that the Palmer Stad ium will be filled for the game for the first time. For the Yale-Harvard game here in two weeks sixteen special trains will be run from New York citv, four from Boston and five from Hartford. Dr. Dumba, Recalled as Austrian Envoy, is Dead Geneva, Nov. 8. Dr. Constantin Dumba, 56, formey Austrian ambas sador to the United States, died yes terday says a dispatch from Vienna It was announced Saturday in Vienna that Emperor Francis Joseph had ac cepted Dr. Dumba's resignation al v lenna. • Dr. Dumba was appointed Austrian ambassador to the United States in January, 1913. He had served in the diplomatic service of his country for many years. In September, 1915, Ambassador Dumba was recalled by his govern ment at the request of the State de partment of the United States. He left New York, Ocober 3, 1915. STATE STARS ARE BUSY State College, Pa.. Nov. B.—Penn State's coaches are laboring hard to get the Blue and White eleven in shape for the fray on Saturday. Yes terday they went through a painstak ing drill to familiarize the injured players now back on the line-up with the new plays which the rest of the .*quad learned a week ago. It will re quire three or four more davs for Ege Higgins and Captain Clark to find themselves in State's new offense. Harry Robb, the right halfback, who has done State's best open field work this season, suffered a serious muscle bruise in the Geneva game, and it is doubtful whether he will face Lehigh. In the signal drill to-day Harlow used Jones at rieht half and restored Ewing to the quarterback position. HAS TWO WORLD'S CHAMPS The world champion ball club and the world champion fighter are now under the same control. Harry Frazee, who has Just figured in the purchase of the Boston Amer ican League baseball club, is the financial man of the syndicate which manages the affairs of Jess Willard, Tom Jones and Jack Curley, acting as his agents on the road. It was Frazee who put up the money for the Cuban trip which resulted in the overthrow of Jack Johnson, and it is Frazee who has Erected the financial part of th. cnampion's career ever since his victory. MONTREAL TEAM IS NOW FOR SALE Opinion Prevails That Inter national Circuit Will Under go Shakeup Toronto, Ont., Nov. 8. Sammy Llchtenhein, the owner of the Mont real baseball club, Is not optimistic over the immediate future of the In ternational league, which, he declares, ia suffering from a temporary depres sion. Too many people are playing golf, visiting moving picture shows and taking afternoon rides in auto mobiles financial good of the Barrow credit. Only two clubs In the International league made money last season. Mr. Lichtenhein says some thing will have to be done. It had been true, too, that the circuit was not a compact one, and traveling ex penses in consequences ran up Into big figures. May Drop Some Cities It had been suggested that some clUes be dropped and ofhers admit ted in older to make a more compact circuit, and he would not stand In the way of this scheme being accom plished. Mr. Llchtenhein made it plain however, that he was willing to sell his franchise solely to help the Inter national league round out its cir cuit As everybody knows baseball is a holiby of Montreal club owner, and unless a Meal of this kind is made he will certainly be found next sea son again in control of the Royals.

HARDEST FIGHTS FOR MANY TEAMS Central Meets Stcelton Next Saturday; Wilkes-Barre Here Scholastic and college games sched uled for Saturday are of vital impor tance. The results will, it Is the gen eral belief, forecast the season's cham pionship winners. Central plays Steelton on Cottage Hill Held. This will bo the final con test between these teams. The first game ended in a scoreless tie. It will be the last home game for Steelton. Tech will entertain Wllkes-Barre at Island Park. The coal barons have been showing fast form, but thus far lost to teams; in Tech's class. Harrisburg Academy, this season's big local surprise, will play Yeates School eleven, of Lancaster, In this city. Captain Phillips and Coach Schlichter aro training hard for this game. Lancaster will send a large delegation. With College Teams The Princeton-Harvard combat at Cambridge is the first leg on the east ern championship. Yale will meet the 'undefeated Brown team, Pennsylvania will play Dartmouth, the team that actually outplayed Princeton; Cornell meotr Michigan, a western power, and Pittsburgh, that defeated Pennsylvania 20 to 0, will bo further tested by the powerful "Washington and Jefferson eleven. , The fact that Princeton will be rep resented by a veteran eleven In the Cambridge stadium commands tho re spect of Harvard men. The Tigers' strength is not underrated by those who saw last year's combat at Prince ton. Princeton's victories over Tufts and Dartmouth by small scores have" not created tho impression at Cam bridge that the Nassau eleven will prove easy. On the contrary, Harvard j men believe that the Tigers have be i gun to find themselves and may bo ex | pected to play their best game on S&t --j urday. The Tigers showed signs of a I brace In the game with Bucknell, al | though the latter team did not provide strenuous practice. | BUCKNELL OX SHORT END I New York. Nov. B.—New York Unl | versity employing all Its cunning and I speed In the third period of its game with Bucknell College on Ohio Field, yesterday swept the battered and bruised Penneylvanlans Into a 13 to 0 defeat. Bucknell presented a team that was shattered In a battle at Princeton last Saturday. Her ends were mauled unmercifully and two halfbacks were .aid low by the Tigers. Bucknell came out of Princeton with a broken arm and a crushed nose, with minor injnrles to others. It was n beefy team that lined up against New York, but it lacked lighting spirit. With all her weight in the line Buck nell had trouble stopping the dashing attacks of tho home eleven. TWO POPULAR BOOKS According to the British press, two of the books which have proved most popular with the British "Tommy" in the trenches are "The Thirty-Nine Steps," and "The Power-House," both by John Buchan, and the latter pub lished only last week by the George H. Doran Company. Both these novels are swiftly moving stories of peril and adventure—tales "to take a man's mind off his troubles." WELLY'S J CORNER Now that the election is over foot ball fans -will have a chance to figure out who will be the soason's winner. The game on next Saturday's schedule will show some decisive dope. The hardest gamo in this vicinity will be played at Steelton with Central. Physical Director Horace Gelsel of the P. R. R. Y. M. C. A. who is recognized as one of the cleanest cut athletes in this vicinity will be a busy man this season. In addition to his classes he will look after the training of Junior and senior athletes, is plan ning for Borao rare winter swimming sport- ,and to-night will help in ar ranging for the basketball and bowl ing season. Reports from Joss Wiilard are that he Is after a battle for Thanksgiving. He also makes the announcement that he will remain In the ring for another year. It looks as If the champion's bank account has been dwindling too fast for comfort. The big fellofcr wants to retire with enough to be on easy street. The report from Montreal that there is likely to be a change In the Inter national League circuit is not surpris ing. It was expected last year but owing to the cleaning up of the Fed eral outlaws, nothing could be ac Leopold, of Bavaria, Likely to Become King of Poland Washington, Nov. 8. The king of Poland, will be a Catholic, it is dc l clared on high authority here. The preference, it is said, is for an Austrian archduke or a Bavarian prince. Leopold, of Bavaria, it is believed, will be chosen, as he has two sons, and his wife. Princess Gisela, is the daugh- I ter of Emperor Francis Joseph, of Austria-Hungary. In her veins, it Is said, flows the blood of the ancient kines of Poland, with whom the house of Hapsburg formed a marriage al liance. READYMADE DIMM Kit While we are waiting for some uni form system of headlight regulation, there aro many attempts to satisfy varied ordinances and at the same time insure plenty of light for safe gen eral driving. Frosted glass, reflected rays of sorts, and a dozen other at tempts have been made. In central Illinois one very simple satisfactory safeguard has been found in using Bon Ami or some other sim ilar wash for the upper half of the lenses. It takes the place of a dim mer, if you do not have one, and so far as records go, has never caused an arrest by an over-zealous small town official.

Rexford, author of "A-B-C of Gardening" and "A-B-C of Vege table Gardening," died a few days ago In Wisconsin. For sixty-three years Mr. Rexford had written for publica tion, and was probably the oldest liv ing American writer on horticulture. compllshed. It. is now understood that the major league magnates after settling their troubles will suggest changes in minor bodies. This may affect the New York Stato League. The Barrow organization Is no longer u money-maker. Major backers who found the Internationals a good placa to use as a farm, now find it mors profitable to keep in close touch with the New York State League and other Class B organizations. Central high under the direction of Coaches Smith and Harris are having some busy sessions. When Stcelton faces the local eleven on Saturday it will be a new line-up for Central. While similar to that of last Satur* day, it is said thero will be soma other changes during the game. Marts showed he was better in his new posi tion, and Gregory is looking more llk a real star every day. There is some talk on having tha Central and Tech players numbered for the Thanksgiving day game. This it is believed will prove a popular move. If numbers are used they must be adhered to. When changes ara made announoers should tell the pat rons so they may follow the changed line-ups. When used right numbers are a big help in a game from a, spectators standpoint. INTENDS TO KILL ALL AMERICANS Villista General Death of All Captured by His Forces El Paso, Texas, Nov. B.—A Mexican refugee from Chihuahua City, who ar rived here last night, brought confir mation of reports that Villa bundita had soaked the hair of two Mexican women in oil and had burned them at Santa Rosalia on October 20.
