"While the or ganization expects to realize some thing from its investment, it also desires to place before the fans something that will bo a suitable return for their money," McConnell says, "and only boxing of that kind will he countenanced. "There are possibilities of boxers throwing us down, but with us such a thing will only occur once for any man that we secure to fight, for a return match will be awarded no person who does not give satisfac- j tlon in his first appearance. Sport Is Popular "Boxing, the Oliver Twist of sportdom, which for years has been used as a football by professional reformers and maltreated in the house of Its supposed friends, ap parently has emerged from its drab days of a miserable existence find is about to take its proper place in tho brotherhood of rough, vigorous pas times. "Always keenly In favor with the patrons of sport requiring skill, strength and courage, yet for years boxing has been shunned by the better classes of the community ow ing to the unsavory methods of those who have dominated the sport in the past. Fighters Improve "But, following the great conflict in Europe, boxing promoters and managers and the boxers themselves, to a largo extent, have mended their ways and are conducting the sport in a commendable way. True there still is riom for improvement, but the trend is in tha direction of a higher standard all around, and the future prospects of the sport are in deed rosy. "I feel confident that the persons who attend tho opening show of our organization in the Chestnut Street Auditorium hero Friday night of this week will agree with me that we are doing all we can to attain that higher standard."

" Chicago Tickets All Gone; No Issue Until Thursday Chicago, Sept. 23.—Arrangements for conducting the world's series, made at the meeting of the National Baseball Commission in Cincinnati, yesterday, are highly satisfactory to Charles A.. Comiskey, president of the Chicago Americans. "Playing two games in Cincinnati and then coming here for three is all right so far as I am concerned," President Comiskey said. "If wo had won the toss for the opening games it would have been all the same to me." Approximately 20,000 applications for world's series tickets have piled up at the White Sox park and must be returned to the senders, as the reserved and box seats have been sold. There has been the usual pro test from disappointed applicants in the method of awarding the tickets, but officials explained there was no other course to pursuo. The pennant race in the Amer ican League cannot be settled be fore to-morrow, as neither Chicago nor Cleveland plays until that day. Chicago lias five games remaining. Tho percentage figures show that if the White Sox win one or Cleveland loses one Chicago will win the pen nant. If Chicago loses all five of its games, and Cleveland wins four, the flag will go to Cleveland. The Cleveland Club reduced Chicago's lead to four games yesterday by winning from Washington.

Coach Paul Smith put tho Maroon warriors through tho hardest scrimmage last night. Each evening will see a slackening of the heavy work until signal practice will be run off Fri day night. Last night Coach Smith made sev eral changes in ho 'Varsity lineup. Garrett was played at center, and his place in the backfield was taken by George Gcrmcr. When Garrett is at right half back, Johnny Smith will be tho pivot man. Heck Uond I'unter Carl Beck has been featuring the work outs by his splendid punting. Ho will do the booting for the Ma roon team. Wilsbach and Lingle are as dependable as ever, and will make life miserable for opposing lines and ends. Tech never had their equal or any one team. Beck, Lingle and Wilsbach are an unbeatable trium virate. Undoubtedly Captain Frank and Arnold will start at tackles. No one so far lias been able to displace them. Half a dozen players have a chance at guard. Comfort and Hoff sommer so far seem to have the call, but Ellinger, Pleam and Eaton are on the Job at all times. Comfort Is the Terre Haute lad who Joined the squad this season. He will be a valuable adjunct to the Tech line once ho learns Coach Smith's style of play, and becomes accustomed to tho Eastern method of stopping an offensive. Two on Injured List "Zip" Mallck has a bad bruise of his left leg above tho knee due to a kick. "Snaps" Emanuel has been suffering from bruises for several days, but was able to be at prac tice last night. Books, a Junior, has been showing flashy work, and may make a place at end or in the back field. "Midge" Matter has been showing good form at end. Although he is handicapped by his lack of weight, he will surly earn a try-out in one of the earlier contests. Erd ley is also an aspirant for a wing position. Allentown High will be the attraction Saturday, and the largest turn out in the history of Tech is expected. Let U. S. Dictate Peace by Control of Panama and Hawaii, McAndrews Says Washington, Sept. 2 3.—America's future military policy as advocated yesterday before the House military committee by Major General J. W. MeAndrew, chief of staff of the American Kxpeditionary Force throughout the war, should call for "peace on the Pacific on our own terms."

Although Genernl McAndrews told the committee he was "loth to disagree with tho general staff," he took issue with its reorganization plan on the basis of an army of 509,- 000 men, proposing instead a force of 300,000 "at tho utmost." While joining with the general staff in advocating universal training for 19-year-old youths, General McAn drews disagreed with its proposed three-month period of training, de claring it was "inadequate" and should be at least six months.
