HARDEST GAMES ON SATURDAY'S SCHEDULE FOR LOCAL SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES TEXRICKARDTO HAVE REAL CLUB Famous Promotor Is Also Thinking He Will Juy Madi son Square Garden New York, Nov. S. A boxing club operated along the lines of the Na tional Sporting club of London Is Tex Rlckard's Idea of -what New York needs In order to put the sport on the plane It should be. The big promoter at present Is negotiating for a five years' lease on Madison Square Oar 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. Rickard 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 be a paying if managed properly, but the rest of it is merely going to waste. Just Like London Club "I 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 If 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 and 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 GRE AT FOOTBALL STAR <? \\l -s W * *£ ' - | HOWARD* j&ERgV. Howard Berry, said by experts to be one of the greatest football play 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 leaguo 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 their annual meeting. The minor leagues have been in a bad way for a long time, and many a bush town mogul has been 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. Jimmte 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 coadt 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 cir cuits. These reorganizations as plan ned call for splits in present circuits that are almost unbelievable. Drastic measures wtl 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 Yale bowl will hold more seats when the Harvard football eleven plays here on November 25 than ever before, the Yale football management admits the 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 tlie 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 the 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 could do little better than distribute one ticket to each graduate, if all should apply for seats. So fo\r really apply that the Yale management is giving four to each alumnus, 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 2 4,000 tickets and tills 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 60,6X7 permanent seats being the same as at present, and about the 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 city, four from Boston and five from Hartford. Dr. Dumba, Recalled as Austrian Envoy, is Dead Geneva, Nov. 8. Dr. Constantin Dumba. 56, former 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 at Vienna. 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 squad learr.ed a week ago. It will re quire three or four more days for Ego, Higglns 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 Wlllard, 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 la 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 Lichtenhein, the owner of the Mont real baseball club. Is not optimistic over the Immediate future of the In ternational league, which, he declares. Is suffering from a temporary depres sion. Too many people are playing golf, visiting bioving picture shows and taking afternoon rides In auto- for the 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 £one. 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 cities be dropped and others 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. Lichtenhein made it plain, however, that he was willing to sell his franchise solely to help the Inter national league round out its clr ouit As everybody knows baseball is a hobby of the Montreal club owner, and unless a deal of this kind Is made he will certainly be found next sea son again in control of the Royals. > Spectacular Plays on Few College Gridirons Here are some borrowed statis tics concerning spectacular runs of the season thus far: From kick-oft, 9 5 yards—Beck, , Penn State, vs. Bucknell. 9 5 yards—Robb, Penn State vs. West Virginia. 90 yards— Brooks, Brown vs. Trinity. 80 yardr—Anderson, Colgate vs. Rhode Island State.

HARDEST FIGHTS FOR MANY TEAMS Central Meets Steel ton 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 field. This will be tho 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 Wilkes-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 meetr 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 the 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 the Impression at Cam bridge that the Nassau eleven will prove easy. On the contrary, Harvard men believe that the Tigers have be gun to find themselves and may be ex pected to play their best game on Sat urday. The Tigers showed signs of a brace in the game with Bucknell, al though the latter team did not provide strenuous practice. BUCKNELL ON SHORT END Now York, Nov. B.—New York Uni versity. employing all its cunning and speed in the third period of Its game with Bucknell College on Ohio Field, yesterday swept the battered and bruised Pennsylvanlans 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 laid low by the Tigers. Bucknell came out of Princeton with a broken arm and a crushed nose, with minor injnries to others. It was n beefy team that lined up against New York, but it lacked fighting spirit. With all her weight in the line Buck nell had trouble stopping the dashing attacks of the 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 tho election is over foot ball fans will have a chance to figure out who will be the season'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 Geisel 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 some rare winter swimming sport ,and to-night will help in ar ranging for the basketball and bowl ing season. Reports from Jess Willard 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 fellow 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 oral 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 de 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 Glsela, Is the daugh ter of Emperor Francis Joseph, of Austria-Hungary. In her veins, It. Is said, flows the blood of the ancient Ulnars of Poland, with whom the house of Hapsburg formed a marriage al liance. READYMADE DIMMER While we are waiting for some uni form system of headlight regulation, there are 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 ore very simple satisfactory safeguard has been found in using Bon Ami or some other sim ilar wash for the upper half of the ■lenses.

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 ma£ affect the New York State League. The Barrow organization is no longer a money-maker. Major backers who found the Internationals a good place to use as a farm, now find It mor* profitable to keep In close touch with the New York State League and other Class B organizations. Central high under the direction ofl Coaches Smith and Harris are havinfl some busy sessions. When faces tho local eleven on Saturday it will be a new line-up for Central. While similar to that of last Satur* day, it is said there will be somt other changes during the game. Marta showed ho was better In his new posi tion, *nd Gregory Is looking more Ilk* a real star overy day. There Is some talk on having the 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 are made announoers should tell the pat rons so they may follow tne changed line-ups. When used right number* are a big help In a game from ek spectators standpoint. INTENDS TO KILL ALL AMERICANS Villista General Promise* Death of All Captured by His Forces El Paso, Texas, Nov. B.—A Mexieatf refugee from Chihuahua City, who ar rived here last night, brought confir mation of reports that Villa bandit* had soaked the hair of two Mexican women In oil and had burned them at Santa Rosalia on October 20. The refugee claimed to have talked with an eye-witness of the tragedy. He also reported General Uribe, Villa commander, had declared at Santa Rosalia that he intended to kill all Americans and Chinese caught by his forces. General Francisco Murgla, com pnanding the reorganized Carranza di vision south of Jimlnez, is proceeding northward against tho Villa bandits in the Santa Rosalia and Jimlnez dis tricts, according to a message received from General Jacinto B. Trevlno, by Mexican Consul Eduardo Soriano Bravo. General Trevlno also denied the report that Villa troops had taken Torreon. INDIANS IN FAST SCRIMMAGE Carlisle, Pa., Nov. B.—The Carlisle Indian football first eleven were pitted against the reserves this afternoon In a fast 4 5-mlnute scrimmage. The pre liminary fundamental exercises were thoroughly covered and all of the Red skins were given a chance at punting and receiving the ball. A number of changes may be made In line positions before the ond*>f the week. There Is little necessity of Introducing the "ghost ball" at Carlisle, as the players get only about three-quarters of on 1 hour's work. ~ 11
