TWO-GAMES-IN-ONE FOOTBALL AT ISLAND SATURDAY; LEVINSKY-DEMPSEY BOUT TONIGHT
"Battling Levinsk" Fights
Jack Dempsey Tonight
Barney Lebrowitz. better known
to the fistic world as "Battling: Le
vinsky," a native son ot Philadelphia
and a kill-joy to all heavyweight as
pirants, arrived home yesterday with
his manager. Danny Morgan, ready
for his eighteen-minute bout to-night
with Jack Dempsey, the western
wonder, who recently decimated
Fred Fulton in eighteen seconds and
is. therefore, now talked of as Amer
ican champion.
If on the level, this should be one
of the best ring encounters witnessed
in many years, but you can never tell
an umbrella by the cover. Manager
Morgan, at least, is sure that his bat
tler will be on his feet at the end
of six rounds. lie says that his
prodigy is too clever to run into any
of the western's swings, "and, while
Dempsey is swinging. Bat will be get
ting in those stinging lefts which
have accounted for so many of his
victories over much harder hitters
than Dempsey."
"I don't fear those fellows who try
to end the tight in a punch," con
tinued Levinsky's manager. "They
are the kind that are made for fel
lows like Barney. 1 expect the bat
tler to show Dempsey a few points
in the gentle art of boxing when they
meet. Of course Bat may not knock
out Dempsey. but it is a cinch bet
that Dempsey will not knock out Bat
and if, at the end of the bout, the
papers don't say that this western
phenom has been outpointed I will
be a verymuch disappointed and sur
prised man."
Dempsey came froth his training
quarters in Long Branch early this
morning. He is just as confident of
victory as is Levinsky, but says that
he has a hard proposition before him
to knock out such a clever man as
he is going against to-night. In a
talk with him at his quarters yester
day he said:
"Lot of people think I should be
able to positively knock out Levin
sky. Do you know of any one who
has done so? Levinsky has met vir
tually every heavyweight •in the
world, yet he has never been knock
ed out. Yet they expect that I ought
to stop hint.
"I want to prove to the fans that
I didn't fear Bat when he had the

Peace May Not Be
So Very Near, Says
Premier Clemenceau
Paris. Nov. 6.—M. Clemenceau the
premier, was accorded a wonderful
ovation in the Chamber of Deputies
yesterday as he read the deputies
terms of the armistice with Austria-
Hungary. He also said terms had
been submitted to Germany.
"The terms to Germany," said the
premier, "are what President Wilson
"himself recommended to us for the
security of our tboops. the mainten
ance of our military superiority, and
the disarmament of the enemy inso-*
far as that it is necessary to prevent
a resumption of hostilities."
M. Clemenceau declared that '
peace might not be so near as some
might think but that he could, how
ever. assure the Chamber that "the
fate of the peoples henceforth was
fixed." There was prolonged cheer
ing when the premier announced
that the Allies had obtained the use
of all means of typnsport in Austria-
Hungary.
M. Clemenceau, was hailed as the
"father of victory" as he mounted I
the tribune to announoe the terms of '

By JAMES CLARK
(First Winner of Brooklyn-Seagate
Marathon, Holder of Many Long
Distance Amateur Records
and V. M. C. A. Physical
Director at Camp Upton.)
X JEW YORK'S soldier boys who
went to Camp Upton are go
ing to be better men after the
war, because of the physical train
ing received there. It has been
wonderful to watch them develop;
to see the pale office worker be
come the bronzed fighting man—
the fellow with a punch.
To work with the army officers
In getting our men In the proper
physical condition for the great
task before them is only one of
many things that has to be done,
but it is of supreme importance.!
Therefore it was with a great deal
of pride that I found myself se
lected to represent the Y. M. C. A.
in this particular work. If any
successes has attended my individ
ual efforts, it has been due mainly
to the ready response of the boys
themselves and the whole-hearted
support of the regimental officers
who appreciate the efforts of the
"Y," the K. of C., the Jewish Wel
fare Board, the War Camp Commu
nity Service and kindred organiza
tions which are working together
in the United War Work Campaign
for (170,600,000 to enable them to
continue their activities. Every
American should contribute to this
fund.

the Austrian armistice. The deputies
all stood. The ovation lasted several
minutes.
During: the address following the
reading of the armistice terms there
was intermittent cheering, especially
when the premier spoke of the ap
proach of full victory, the defeat of
Austria-Hungary, and the complete
glory of France. The usual 'Socialist
interruptions occurred, but the aged
premier remained unperturbed, de
fiantly smothering the taunts of the
opposition. The Chamber passed a
resolution providing that the speech
of M. Clemenceau should be posted
throughout France.
"What I have done," said M.
Clemenceau. "it is France that has
done it. I have only made the best
use I could of the instruments
France has given me. The Superior
Council at Versailles has drawn up
the terms of an armistice with Ger
many. These were sent yesterday to
President Wilson, who. if he ap
proves them, will make them known
to the imperial and democratic gov
ernment."
At this point the house burst into
laughter.
"It will then be time enough for
Germany to address herself to
Koch," the premier added.
It was here that the premier de
clared that the terms to Germany
were inspired, as were those imposed
upon Austria, to prevent a resump
tion of hostilities in case Germany
should break her word.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
I be left to the sports committee of j
: the campaign.
A golf match between those old !
rivals of the links, WaKer J. Travis I
and Kindlay S. Douglas, is now as- 1
sured.
Douglas reaffirmed yesterday his i
willingness to meet Travis either in
singles or in a foursome, and it now
j remains only for Cornelius J. Sul
livan. chairman of the golf commit
; tee for the drive, to arrange the
date and the details,
i As Travis declared himself in fa
vor of a singles match on Wednes
day, and as Douglas stands ready to
: do his part, no matter what the con
| ditions. a singles match it is sure
to be.
In all probability this highly inter
t esting battle will be waged over the
I Garden City links on November 10
! or November 17.
This year's international six-day !

den the week of December 1-7 may 1
Ibe held over a paper track. A well- !
known manufacturer has made a
1 proposition to lay a track such as
has been in use in Paris for several
j years. It is claimed that a papier
j mache track has more durability, in
sures greater speed and costs much
1 less than a wooden track. The in
. ventors promise a demonstration be
-1 fore November 10. Right now it is
i only a question of securing the prop
! er material. A 10-lap track requires
about 40,000 square feet of material.
It is built in sections and can be put
into shape for racing in five hours.
It takes about 48 hours to construct
a board track and it becomes worth
less after a race.
Pittsburgh, Nov. 6. —The Univer- '
sity of Pittsburgh squad worked out

' noon in preparation for the season's
inaugural next Saturday against
Washington and Jefferson. Scrim- i
j mage took up the biggest part of the 1
; afternoon, and when it was over ;

1 pleased. However, he would give no
i inkling of the lineup,

j his veteran backtield, consisting of
! Captain McLaren, Gougler, Easter
day and Pitler. If any change is
I made it probably will be In favor of
i Tom Davies, the Kiski star, who has
been showing great form in all the
practice sessions.
In the line there will be at least
tour veterans, with Stein, Mervis and
i Harmon, new men, to fill it out.
Penn and Georgia Tech scoiwfc will
not see much of Pitt's play that they
are not already familiar with, for
j Warner will keep as much under

the season.
Changed Her Mind in
Casting First Vote
New York, Nov. 6.—Mrs. Carrie :
Chapman Catt, president of the Na
tional American Woman Suffrage
Association and Miss Mary Garret
Hay, president of the New York
City Woman Suffrage party, cast
their first votes yesterday. Mrs.
Catt said she went to the polls de
termined to vote for Governor Whit
man because "he stood by us and
I am going to stand by him."
After she voted she announced
she had, however, split her ticket,
having "suddenly changed my mind
regarding voting a straight Repub
lican ticket."
"I have labored thirty years to
get a vote," Mrs. Catt added. "I
feel that the privilege of voting was
worth all the struggle and thi
cost."
It was reported that more than
25 per cent, of the city's woman
voters had balloted by 10 a. m. am.
jubilation was expressed over thio
showing.

Picked Soccer Team
of Canadians to Meet
Bethlehem Steel
w York, Nov. B.—The inva
sion of the United States by a
picked soccer team representing
Canada to play the champion Beth
lehem Steel Company at Harrison
field. Harrison, N. J„ on Novem
ber 17. has stirred up tremendous
enthusiasm among all soccer men
in and around this district. The
entire proceeds of the game, which
will attract a large crowd, will
be handed over to swell the Uni
ted War Work funds.
The offer, which came from the i
Tofonto Sportsmen's Patriotic As- ,
sociatlon, an organization which
handled the sports end of Can- i
ada's War Work fund, was adapt
ed at a special meeting of the
New Jersey State Football Asso
ciation.' held in Newark, N. J., last
Saturday.
Chairman P. J. Mulqueen con
ceived the idea of sending a Can
adian team here to aid in our
campaign.
The famous steel . workers will
be put to a sgvere test in tackling
the Canadians, as the players from
the Dominion have many star
artists in their ranks.
All the expenses of'the visit of j
the Maple Leaf boys will be borne
by the patriotic sons of Canada,
which is deserving of the great- ;
est praise, and their generorsity i
would at least be rewarded by a I
record crowd turning out to see
the first game against a Canadian [
team on American soil.
