Of Year
NEW YORK, Oct. 11.-—Jack
Dempsey, heavywelght champlon of
the world, is not going to be seen
in action any more this year, ac
cording to the plans being made
by his manager, Jack Kearns.
. It has been announced by Demp
rey's pilot that Jack has signed
for an engagement with the Sells-
Floto eireus, ‘which will net the
title holder $2,000 a week for elght
woeks' work, with a possibility that
he may get twelve weeks out of
l the tour. '
~ Dempsey’s action in signing with
the circus means that there will
“be little activity in the heavy
weight division during -the re
minder of the present year. How
ever, this will give the lesser lights
among the big fellows a chance to
get together in an elimination
tourney, the winner of which would
then be in line for a crack at the
championship. |

a
| CHICAGO, Oct. 11.—Charley Co
miskey, owner of the Chicago White
Sox, was all ‘het up” last night over
lthe rumors in circulation that his
iplaym‘s threw a game or two to the
Cincinnati Reds in the world series
just ended. |
YT will give to any man $20,000 who
will unearth any real information to
‘the effect that the White Sox threw a
game to the Reds,"” he announced. T,
am positive my boys fought hard
every inch of the way, and that thvy}
were anxious to win the series. If it
is found that they did not play on the
level, I would be the first to want to
know of it, and | have that $20,000 to
offer for any information of that
Kind.
“There is always some scandal fol
lowing a big sporting event. Just be
cause my c'ub was a big favorite to
win, and then lost, there are some
who believe they did nat try to play
their best. That is not so. However,
I do believe the White Sox to be
stronger than the Reds, but I saw
the games, and 1 must admit my club
did not play as good ball as the Reds
and deserved to lose,
“The so called experts should be
positive they are right, when they
announce in the publie prints that the
world series was not decided on its
merits,” the Old Roman concluded.
Charley Comiskey has been con
nected with the American League
since it started, and is recognized as
one of the greatest baseball men in
the country, and never has he been
known to be connected with any sort
of a game that was not absolutely
above board.
SOME STRIKIG OUT.
Twenty-one sirike outs in a ten-inming

Fifth Division 1
AUBURN, Ala., Oct. 11.—~Drake
Field is going to be the scene of
a good combat this afternoon when
the Tigers attempt to take a few
victorious bites out of the record
of the Fifth Division soldiers.
These said soldiers come well
recommended by their past actions
and should furmish food of = the
very toughest variety for the
Plainsmen.
Since the game was moved here
from Columbus plans are being
made for a large crowd of rooters
who were planning to go there.
They are certainly going to. see
some good football, as the Plains
men are beginning to realize that
it is time they were showing the
stuff they have on hand or take
the consequences: .
This week should fit them for
most any kind of game. Up to the
very last minute Coach Donahue
put them through their very best
paces. Eveéry night after serim
mage they were given a stiff signal
drill. If ‘things should not result
50 well Saturday it is certainly go
ing to bé no fault of his. |
The line has been given some
very pointed instruection in the art
of charging and working together.
The wvarsity linesmen were split
into two groups. They had to
struggle with each other for the
larger part of an hour.
The backs have not been neg
lected by a long shot, and they
came in for their share of the in
struction in smashing up the de
fense and in the manly art of
breaking up forward passes.

BACK IN ’l6, CICOTTE TRIED TO
TEACH ELLER THE SHINE BALL
By HARVEY WOODRUFF.
(Item-New York Times-Chicago Tribune Service.)
5 HICAGO, Oct. 11.—“ Didn’t we have him once? asked a fan in the
C upper grandstand of his néighbor just after Hod Eller had
fanned Williams, Leibold and Eddie Collins in the third inning,
after performing a similar favor for Gandil, Risberg and Schalk in the
ond of a recent world series game. The conversation was plainly
audible in the press box. .. .... ..
“Didn’'t we have who? And who the—— is we?” growled the dis
gusted fan interrogated.
“Whv, Eller, of course. Didnt the Sox have him once?
Yes, they had him back on 1916, and Eddie Cicotte tried to teach
him to throw the shine bail, but Eler was a big boob and couldn’t learn
anything. At least that's my dope.. Anyway, they let him go.
The fans dope was correct in part, at least. Eller did make the
spring training trip with the Sox in 1916, having been secured from Mo
line, where he had played two seasons. The Sox were pretty well sup
plied with slabmen and Eller barely survived the training trip, being
returned to Moline in April. That fall he was drafted by the Reds, and
in 1917 won ten and lost five games for Cincinnati.
Whether or not Cicotte imparted any of the mysteries of the shiner
to Eller may be doubted, but certainly Eller was tbout the freshest
minor that ever came up for trial. If he had been a freshman at college
he was the type who would be hazed. He was not offensive, except as
reshness is always offensive to a seasoned player. Instead, he was the
butt of all the jokes it was possible to pull, including acting as referee
at a badger fight. g
N " SATURDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1919,
By JACK VEIOCK,
International News Sporting Editor
NEW YORK, Oct, 10.—Football is
back again, stronger and more pop
ular than ever before, .
It came hack with a post-war rush
that was altogether characteristic
and by the time the curtain is rung
down with the playing of Turkey
Day games the grand old collegiate
sport will have enjoyed one of the
best seasons it has ever seen, unless
all signs fail.
The war failed to hust football. It
is true that many a player who
answered the call to the colors was
“downed” for all time before the big
gest contlict in history was settled
in favor of the allies, But there are
more football players today than
ever before.
The armg and navy spread the
gospel of fßotball in training camps
for two years. Thousands of husky
young Americans who had never
played the game got into uniforms
and worked with company or regi
mental elévens. In the big army
|camps, for ‘instance, it was nothing
to see 700 football teams running
‘through signal practice of an after
noon. ¢ ;
~ College stars from the biggest
schools in the country played with
the new men, taught them the fine
points of the game and coached the
teams. The result is hundreds of
really good football players who
might otherwise never have donned
the molesking were developed, and
scores of these players are to be
found among the many who are
playing collegiate football this fall.
TEAMS PLAY TODAY.
The world series a thing of his
tory, footbali now holds the spot
light. Saturday will see practically
every biz eleven of importance in
action against smaller teams and in
the Middle West particularly old- |
time rivalries between elevens of the
“Big Ten” will be renewed with all
of their former glamor. Many of the
big elevens have already played sev
eral games of . minor importance
Here in the KEast the “Big Three”
will not be ready to battle for su
premacy among themselves until No
vember arrives, but many important
games are to be played, starting Sat-;
urday.
Harvard, Yale and Premceton willl
all be seen in action. The Crimsoni
eleven will lock horns with Colby at,
Cambridge, while Yale takes on
North Carolina University at New
Haven, and Princeton tackles Lafay
ette at . Princeton. The champion
Pittsburg eleven has a hard game
scheduled against West Virginia, a
team that has been coming fast dur
ing the last two or three years.
The Army will have a game on its
hands, too. The Cadets take on Syra.
cuse in the first important game of
their season, and while they are bat
tling the lads from the Salt Lake
City the Navy will be busy with
Johns Hopkins at Annapolis. Colgate
will meet Brown, Cornell will play
Williams and Columbia will take on
Vermont at Columbia. Penn will play
Delaware. X
| WESTERN GAMES.
~ In the West several big games are|
‘going to attract attention. Three
games in particular stand out on the
schedule. They are the Minnesota
‘Nebraska contest at Minneapolis,
' where Doc Williams’ charges will
tackle the Cornhuskers in a contest

TAD’S TID BITS—By Tad
NEW YORK, Oct. 11.—“T've seen -
a lot of great fighters,” said Leo
Flynn, pushing back his iron kelly,
“but take it from me, big or little,
white or black, the grandest of the
lot was little George Dixon. He
was my idea of a wonderful fight
ing machine. I know that a lot of
the fight fans today never saw
Dixon. He's been dead ten years, ;
¥ou know, but his fights will live:
or ten more, and then some. g
“I liked Gans as a fighter, too.
He had almost everything but
speed. Dixon had everything that
Gans had, with speed added. You
must remember, too, that Dixon at
98 pounds was fighting big, strong
boys. He put on a bit of weight
later, and then kept on giving away
weight He was fighting big, husky
lightweights along with the feathers |
all the time, and was first uqder
the wire nearly every trip. :
“There isn't a fighter today who
can rip with that old left the way
Dixon eould. He could rip a left
to the body and upon the chin and
then shoot a right over before a
fellow could say ‘scat’ He was a
hitter, a boxer, a ring general, and
was cooler than a lemon and soda.
“Kilbane? Yes, a great boy, but
Dixon would have taken him.
Dixon was a better feinter and bet
ter hitter. Kilbane, I admit, can
sock, but he can’'t use the left as
Dixon did. There never was another
left like Dixon’s. It was murderous.
That old rip to the stomach was
poison to any one.
“Yes, siree, put me down as a
Dixon man above all others. There
were great fighters, but I can’t
think of one who was a master of
every department of the game like
‘Little Chocolate.””

AN OLD-TIMER CHIRPS.
Dear Tad:
1 read your article the other day
in which Eddie Graney says that
Jim Corbett was the star of our’
heavyweight boxers [ think that
Mr. Graney knows something at
that. I saw Corbett at his best
when he beat Jake Kilrain, He
made a show of Jake if ever a show
was made. I can't imagine Jim Jef
fries even touching Corbett at that
time. i
Corbett was 24 years of age then, |
and he was uncanny in his work. |
Jim Jeffries was 24 when he won
the title from Fitzsimmons. I should
liked to have seen the cumber
some Jefries meet Corbett at that
time.
The only fight that'l can think of
that would compare with this was
the night that Jem Driscoll made
a monkey of Leach Cross here in
New York.
Yours for the old-timers,
J. COONEY,

CRACK CUE
TOURNEY,
NEW YORK, Oct. 11.-—~When th{
seven leadink balkline players ol
America meet in competition at th(
National American Billiard Cham.
pionship tournament, ‘which com:
metices here October 20, billiard lovi
ers will have settled for good a num:
ber of arguments an@ disputes as t(
the comparative ability of the varioui
players.
Chief among the controversies to bl
ended by results of the play at th{
Astor will be the Schaefer-Cochran¢
Hoppe dispute, which has occupiel
the center of the stage in the hil
liard world for a long time. It ha{.
not been many months since Welkel
Cochran, the youthful marvel, wal
clamoring for a match with Hoppe
his backers claiming for him that ht -
had earned the right to meet thi
champion for the title. Words fley
tast for a while, but much to th!
disappointment of tne oilliard fans
who were eager for the match, 'i‘
never materialized, and in spite of al
the efforts made no one was able t(
bring the two cue wizards to an un¢ «
{erstanding. ’
Young Jake Schaefer is another of
the younger players who has beel
asking for a chance at the title
Many times a matcn betweery
Schaefer and Hoppe has been in th
making, but has always come t]
nothing. There are thousands o
billiard fans throughsat the countr}
who believe that Schaefer will sucs
ceed to the titles held by his fathern
and their belief has been strengthe«
ened by recent perYormances, espes
cially Schaefer's run of 307 In th¢
exhibition match with Welker Coch!
ran.
Again, many have never been sat«
isfied with the result of the Cochrany
Schaefer matches and have wanted ¢
real test of strength between the twu‘
representing as they do the cream o,‘
the ability of the younger players™
The recent contests played by them
took place in billiard rooms and wer¢
not under the championship condi
tions they will play under in thi
tournament at _the Astor Hotel. Th¢
match between Schaefer and.Cochrat
should furnish real proof of the com,
parative ability of the two and wil
be watched with as much interest a
any scheduled in the tourney, for i 1
would be a hard matter to tell whick
is the better of the two players at thd
present time.
