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."

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.

Not Enough Seats at Yale
For Big Harvard Game
New Haven. Conn.. Nov. 8. 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.

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

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

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

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

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
