MEKE. NEW YORK. Sept. 17.-Kpling Borne years two ha wrote something about "Eut la East, Weet la Wert, an1 never the twain ahall meet' ' At that it looked aa If he waa right Tha eastern collegea ware o darned uppish that they absolutely refused to let their foot ball playara mingle with the youth who crabbed off their learning In tha annaet ration of these United Btatea. But that waa some yeara ago. Times have changed. Tha East began meeting the West three or four yeara ago, and alnoe then there haa been a gradual In crease In the gridiron meetlnga between the foot ball warrlore of the big eastern and weatern universities. Thla aeaann there will be eleren Interaeetlonal meet lnga and next year there will be more, The time la coming when tha foot ball champion of the Eaat will play the font ball champion of tha West to decide the championship of tba country. It'a a de mand that tha foot ball enthusiasts have been making for yeara, and one that aoon Is to be anawered. Staging a champion ship foot ball battle would be no greater tank than staging a world aeriea baae ball game. ftosae Object Plaa. noma foot ball experts, who object to the schema, say that tha plan cannot be worked out becauae no aoourat rating eaa be secured. They aay that a half sloasn taama la each section Justly can Claim the title of champion each year. We disagree wits them. Thar seldom haa been a time when ana team in tha Eaat and another m tha Wast did not kave a clear, unolouded elalm to tha title tit champion of that particular fiction. . Harvard waa tha eastern champion laat year, Nona could dispute Ita claim. Chi cago ruled In tha west-and ruled alona. It defeated tha beat team It was pitted against. Tha Harvard-Mlohlgan meeting at Cam bridge on October 81. of course, will take rank as tha atellar foot ball attraction of tha year. There la lntenae Interest In this battle all over tha country. Tha great Harvard machine of laat year, which wept everything before It, haa not been broken by graduations. Brlckley will ba tack In his old position at fullback. Ma rian will be ona of the halfbacks. The choice-of the ether rests between Hard wick and Bredlee. both members of laat year's team. Logan, tha 1911 quarterback, will ba back at his old position, as will I'ennock. tha 1911 All American guard. With Michigan It la different. Gradua tions wracked tha 1911 team that made uoh a great ehowlng. Sevan of the best men on that team. Including Jimmy Craig, tha AU American halfback, will be among tha missing.

Chicago's militant lightweight Is on the verge of realizing his fondest a fn fa 1 1 1 ifl a ring meeting with Freddie Welsh for me world a lightweight chamDlot.shn. . - ' maicn nas not been consummated as yet for Frederick, at tha present mo ment, la too busy reaping the reward of hie great victory over Willie Kltchlo to be molested with auch trivial matters. But there la hope. , Welsh has promised White an opportunity to talk over terms Just aa soon as Freddie Urea of the glare of tha calcium. Right now Weleh is tell ing the dear American public, from be hind tha footlights, how ha won the championship from Ritchie. Ha describes tha battle ao vividly that he leavea no question In tha mlnda of hla auditors but that ha waa entitled to tha decision. White, like Barkus, la wlllln'. So Is Welsh, for that matter. Bat It will take mora than a day's coaxing to induce Freddie to affix his signature to a set of articles calling for a championship fight Already Welsh la In receipt of a flat offer of $10,000 to fight White In Milwaukee. Aa yet, Harry Pollok. for Weleh. haa. not stated whether thla figure suited the champion. Tom Andrews, the Milwaukee fight promoter, was in town the laat week. Hs earns halt way across tha continent for tha express purpose 1 of securing Welsh's consent to a mill with Whits. When Andrewa abandoned Beer City ha had In hla pocket White's algned contract to meet anyone the promoter selected tor a battle on October tth. Hra of tha Class. Andrews had but one roan in mind as White's opponent and that man was at the head of the lightweight class; none other than Freddie Welsh. White, In all probability, knew what was bussing around In Andrews' cranium, and he un hesitatingly signed the contract. With a match between White and Welah but a matter of a short time before it becomes a reality, It would not be amlaa to else up White's chances with ths chsmpton. ' The writer Is of the opin ion that Whits would make a better showing In a limited round contest against Welsh than Ritchie did when his title swayed In the balande. White can deliver aa powerful a blow aa Ritchie, and he Is far superior to the ex-champion when It narrows down to pure, unadul terated boxing. Also, White can absorb punishment As an aaslmllator of hard punches. White la not far behind Nelson in hla palmiest daya; but tha time will never come when White will have to be tha recipient of aa many daslng knocka aa the Dana submitted to. White haa absolutely nothing to fear from the Welsh person. The Briton may be in a class by himself when It comes to ring wlsardry, but he la not endowed with a wallop, tha punch aoporlfic. White's fortunes in tha bout would de pend entirely upon his ability to land on tha elusive Freddie, and White has yet to meet a US-pounder that acted like a ahrould In evading him. Kaoeka flat Local Pride. ' Meanwhile, White la not wasting his time while waiting for Welsh to assent The Chicago marvel la doing the Nomad atunt by traversing the western coun try, and stopping off at Important rttlea and knocking out the local prides. White la now claaaed aa the beet of American llghtwelKhta. and It Welsh Is reticent In agreeing to a match, public clamor will make the champion altar hla atand. Welah haa been In this country leas than a month, but In that abort time he haa been fairly deluged with offers to fight New York wanta htm to fight Cross; Andrews Is after him to subscribe to a match with White; Milwaukee ta seeking the champion to take on Ad Wol gast; New Orleans desires him tor Its " j'i way io spena your noon hour, especially during raluy weather.

For the pre liminary round the playera will be m.-H In aectlona of aeven. so that at the start very ono will be assured of at least six games, with the white pieces In three of them. The winners will then enter th. final round, unless tha large number of sections should make a semi-final round advisable. The entrance fee will be $1, and suitable prises will be provided. vnn me return of Frank J. Marshall from abroad, a auggestlon has been made by A. B. Hodgea. a former United st. cheaa champion, that a maatera tourna ment be arranged In New York. Kup chlk, Chajea and Jaffa would ba among the entrlea for such a competition.

Bo far, the limitations established by the rules of the western organisation bar all playera from the eastern and New England atatea, but if that associa tion ahould continue to produce playera of tha stamp of Jofforaon, no doubt the bara will in time be let down. The result will be practically the formation of a national Instead of a sectional organiza tion. With regard to the desire of Jeffer eon'a admlrera to ace him pitted against a leading eastern player, A. Kupchlk, champion of the Manhattan Chess club stands ready to play him a match. Hla backing would come from the membere of the Manhattan and Progressive Chesa clubs. Dr. Emanuel Leaker, wori'd'a chesa ohamplon, la reported to have returned safoly to Berlin, his home, where he Is at present. When war broke out the ohamplon and Mrs. leaker were in Switzerland, and aa the Swlsa troopa were mobilising, they at once aet out for the border. It waa no child's task to maka tha trip, according to tha ohamplon'a ac count, but they finally reached their des tination In aafety. Nothing- haa been heard of Canhi.o- slnce the outbreak of war. but it i. s. Jectured that he attempted at once to go to Buenos Ayrea. For the purpose of decldlna th mi... tion of chesa aupremacy In New Ens-land a championship tournament of eight en tries naa oeen held at the rooms of the oosion cnesa club. The championship remalne yet undecided, aa J. F.

Kline's' final position, however, depends upon an unfinished game with H C Daniels. In which he has an advantage! but which still la in the handa of the tournament committee.

Gunboat Smith Up Against Eeal Test in Levinsky Match NEW YORK. Sept. 36 Some Idea of how boxing 1 going to prosper hers thla season will be gained when Gunboat Smith and Battling Levinsky come to gether on October 8. Thla match la the first of any Importance' alnce last spring, and for that reaaon ahould attract a big attendance. If auch provea to be tha case other bigger and better matches are aura to follow.. On the other hand, ahould the bout fall to draw well It will discourage promoters from attempting to stage more costly attractions. The., bout will also serve to teat the public's regprd for Gunboat now that he haa returned from England minus the white heavyweight championship, which he left In the keeping of Georges Car pentler. Since that affair Smith's real blllty la mora of a mystery than ever. Apparently Smith, for all his terrifo swings, is helpless before a speedy boxer with a clever defence. As defensive work happened to be Levlnsky s long suit the matter ahould be cleared up aatlefactorily this tune. Certainly, If Gunboat cannot put a atop to Levinsky. he may as well drop all pretensions to the leading honors. Lev insky haa shown repeatedly tha he Is not unbeatable by the better class of middle weights. Yet In many respects he re sembles Carpentler, and if his superficial cleverness proves too much for Gunboat Carpentler's victory will no longer ba re garded as the result of an accident, even by those who are now disposed to take that view of the reont battle In London. On this account Smith cannot afford to toss even a close decision if he expects to maintain prestige. If Levinsky wins. Gunboat s refusal to go through with the Young Ahearn match will look blacker than ever. Even now It Is difficult to see why Smith turned down 13,000 fur a Job that apparently waa not worth mora than S5. On the other hand. If Smith beats down Levlnsky'a defence he will have done something none of tha other big fellows have been able to accomilsli. In that case Smith will regain his loat standing, for although Battling Barney ia a rather uninteresting person in the ring. It cannot be denied that hs knowa how to protect himself. ' At any rate he Is not at all likely to fall a victim, to a chame awing be aald that he haa built up a reputation on no more capital than a haymaking and it Smith la successful It can no longer right. Tourney problem No. 38: Kt-RS, One good variation la aa followa: lKt-R, K-R7; 2Kt-Kt eq, Kt-Kt6; 8Kt-Kt4ch, K R8; 4Kt-K3. Kt-QSch; 6K-B sq. any; 6Kt KtS mate. Tourney problem No. 36, P-Kt4. Loyd made this problem In 1868 at the Morphy chess rooms. He says: "It was quits an impromptu to catch old Dennis Jullen the problemist, with. He used to wa-er that he could analyze any position ao aa to tell which piece the principal mate waa accomplished with. So 1 offered to make a problem which he was to analyse ana ten which piece did not alve the mate. He at once selected the queen's knight's pawn as tha most Improbable Piece, but the solution will ahow you which of ua paid for the dinner." The theme of atartlnfr a white pawn on ita own square and making it give mate by promotion waa not absolutely new with Loyd, aa Wormald had ahown how the task could be done a couple of yeara before him. Wormald claimed a knight, which is, perhapa, even more of a trick, but it Is also more evident, as It requires the presence of the black king at closer range. Loyd'a problem remains to thla day the most surprising rendering of the theme, because black la required to make auch unexpected movea to defeat the series of threats and bring about . the main play. The march of the pawn is more like the play In a helpmate prob lem, where both aldea co-operate to bring about the mate. The principal variation la as follows: lP-Kt4. R-B4ch; SPxR, P R7; 3P-B8, B-B2; 4PxP, any; BPxKt and mates as a queen. Problem No. 39. BLACK (four pieces). rum Ea k iaa m m s i r m-m '-vi l-.'i -.M ti 'T't .f'T liJt Lkji fc nb Fielding Ci.
