But with Brlckley hora du com bat, only a few of the stauncheat Har vard supporters feel that the Crimson will triumph over the Malse and Blue. The Harvard team was built around T.rirkley. Tha i-reat fullback was Ihe main cor In tha Harvard machine. With that cog removed tha machine seema minus its power and It tremendous drive. To Brtckley more than anyone else Is due the credit for Harvard's treat allow ing during the last three years. Brlckley" boot beat Tale and Princeton last year, and it was figured that Brlckley- boot might repeat against Michigan. Tha Harvard team during tha last three seasons has not been drilled ta make touchdown against Its atrongeet foe. It hasn't been drilled to smash through the enemy's llnea and smash and smash agala until It has carried the ball ever tha line. Its main drilling ha been to get th ball to within twenty or thirty yards of the rival line and to leave th rest to Brlckley and hi boot. Brtckley Does Heavy Work. Barely hss the Harvard team at tempted to carry the ball over the line of It powerful foe since Brlckley Joined the squad. Coach Haughton probably figured there waan't any use In talcing a clianoo on having his men battered In a fierce fight In th shadows of th goal posts when ha had Brick ley's toe to lead Harvard to an easier and less dsngerou way -to victory. Brlckley's absence from th Harvard lineup leave Harvard' without a real drop-kicker. Mahan has soma skill In that line. So ha Hardwick. ' But neither has more than ordinary. Haughton now la face to face with tha task of drilling th Harvard team Into becoming a touch down machine. Tie realises that he must amool It not only to carry the ball to th twenty or thirty yard line, but then carry it over tha Una II ha no "Brlckley now to forestall a bitter battle within th ton yard line.

My RfHMDE. NEW YORK. Oct. M.-Th ancient sport of boxing Is in a precarious condition out In California. The ring game Is doomed, from all Indications, in the stste which has fostered more championship battles than any other commonwealth In the world. V Little did Arthur Carroll, a preliminary boxer, know that when he delivered the blow that resulted in the death of his opponent, "Bill Huddle," ne.veral week ago. that h was also delivering fh desth blow of boxing on the Pacific coast Huddle expired from the effect of a beating he received st the hands of Carroll In a Pan Francisco ring. live men must stsnd trial for the un fortunate happening. True, all five will most likely be exonerated of blame, ss the coroner's autopsy showed that death wss due to a cerebral hemorrhage. Nev ertheleas those opposed to boxing have a mighty weapon to bring about a cessa tion of boxing in California. Whether or not the. ring game ia to survive' will be determined within a fort night. 'Supporters of the antl-prite fight referendum Isw to be voted on at the November election were quick to seise on the trsgedy as an argument, and they will be depended upon to preaa their point with vigor until the polls are closed. Net the First Tlaae. This is not ths first time the ring game. has been on trial In California. Periodi cally agitation are started against box ing ther. but In every Inst a no the leg islators, after reprimanding ths promot ers and warning them against unscrupu lous dealings, have permitted the game to go on. Every year, however, added pressure Is being brojight to bear on the law dla pensers to abolish boxing In Cal'fornla. Iat winter a metsur wa Introduced to stamp out the game. A counter bill waa submitted, and th lattsr passed by the margin of a single vote. 8o It can readily be seen how dangerously close to oblivion the sport of boxing is In Cali fornia. Despite this untoward state of afalrs coast prompters are going along If the sport were never to be .threatened. They ar busy arranging all sort of matches, but a yet not on ha been definitely consummated. It may b that th promoter are showing a bold front to mask underlying fears. Meanwhile boxing Is thriving in this glorious metropolis. Everything presages the most successful winter the sport haa ever enjoyed her. Ther ar a number of reasons for th' optlmlstlo outlook, but chief among them I the fact that a new era has entered the sport with the ad vent of Jame Johnston aa manager of th Show association, which will bold forth In the amphitheater at Madison Bquar Garden. Johnston Is not a newcomer In th pro moting field. II ha successfully en gineered many big match,'- but - at mailer club. Th Qarden mogul needed a man who could stage boxing mntche without losing money for them. John ston was selected, and a better selection could not have beep made. Johaaaa Has Wide "cope. Johnston has a w'de scop of things pugilistic, and hi theory Is that "a boxer Is not worth on penny more than h can draw In at the bos office' With this legend In mind Johnston ha announced that any boxer who perform for him will hav to fight on a percentage baal. No more guaranties will be given. Bay Johnston: This ultimatum for I consider It such goes for Mlk Gibbons, Freddie Welsh, Johnny Kllban. Kid Williams, -ach Cross and all th others who havo pre tension to championship. If they think they can attract larg gatherings to see them In action, they will be tha benefi ciaries; for th mora money they ran put Into th coffer the more they will be paid for fighting. Fair enough. Isn't itr Quit fair nough. Is th opinion of the majority of us. Johnston was Installed a boss of the Garden less than two week ago, but he I already at work arranging for the best match In sight First be desires to settl th "whit hope" dlsput by bring ing together Jess Wlllard and Uunboat BnVth, th two leader of th heavy weight class. Thla meeting would doubtless fill the Garden to capacity. But a little hitch arises In th arrangements. Johnston, of course, will glv no guaranty, adhering to hi laudable percentage scheme. Hew ever, Jim Buckley, manager for Hmlth, Insist on fT.foO for hla charge to dlaplay his wares Buckley doe not make thla demand of Johnston, budsslre to have Wlllard' mentor, Tom Jones, com across with that sum. Buckley claim Jones promlaed to guarantee Smith 17,500 If the gunner woud consent to meet Wlllard several month back. Now Buckley wants Jones to keep hi promise, Po It Is up to the loquacloua Jon whether we ar to see a battle that prom ises to settle the "wlhte hope" Question, for the time being at least.

Legore waa such a dtam:n-l luin'nsry a a school boy a few year ago that h and Frit, who now play with Jo Tinker's Chicago Federal leagu team, at tracted the attention of no less person; than Connl Mack. Fit finally waa tured Into th professional fold, but Legor wa ambition for a college career" and fntered Yale Instead.. At Mercersburg, as well as being a star foot ball and base ball niitn, he was rated as the beat tennis player In the -school, and played on the basket ball team as well. It Is his basket ball train ing that makes hie handling of the pig skin so sure and his passing accurate. ' Yale seem to have drawn tha .prlxa of the year ill Leg ore. W do not bulleve that Harry I apt to outshine Ted Coy pn the gridiron, but he la apt to prove every bit a valuable. In fact hi play ing I very much on the Coy order. He is a good line smasher, a fine open field runner, one of th bent men w hav ever seen with the forward pass and th best kicker, barring th unfor tunuTvJlrk'kley, that the year ha shown.

Yale ha labored with end of little ex perience, and Liegore' good kicking has been a big aid to them. Legore Is Consistent The beauty of hi play for Hlnkey thus far has been hla consistency. Appar ently he haa no weakness. Agalnat Maine. Virginia and Lehigh he has been the nuoleua of the Ell offense and has yet to Incur censure. The Yale attack this year la replete with complicated passing plays. Legore I has been the most successful man on yie squad In handling the ball for triple passes and forward heaves. Ills ability In other branches of aport bids fair to make him the moat valuable man seen at New Hsven In many a year. In this respect, he 1 opt to outclass Coy or Kllpatrlck. Coy was almost a base ball player. Ted could pitch a little, but never enough to make him a regular on the varsity.

"I hava given my word to the Chicago Federal league men, Wee.gh.man and Tinker. that-I will talk with nobody un til they have named their terms," replied Evers. "But I will also promise to com back and accept your terms If they equal tho Chicago figures." "Your word Is good enough for me, my boy," responded th Boston - magnate. "Go up to the Knickerbocker and see the Feds, a a you hav agreed to do." Ever promptly left Gaffney and ten minutes later h wa closeted with Oll mor. Wesghman. Tinker, Knabe, Han Ion and other Fed.

Beanrater Declare that Mysterloa Player I F.n tltled to Ten Khare of Prise Manejy. NEW YORK, Oct 21-Base ball fan In Oakosh, Painted Post. Cohocs and other Outlying precincts, have heard All about the miracle wrought by George Stalling. They know what Jelhnny Kvera has accomplished for the "Boston Braves and what Hank Gowdy's batting average wa In. the world's series. The pitching of Dick Randolph and Bill James waa discussed with no more fervor In big leagu cities than It waa in Kokomo, Kankakee, Keokuk, or Kala masoo, and "Babbit" Maranville provided inspiration for every schoolboy shortstop In the country. A tan Is a fan. no mat ter where lie takes root, and he thinks he knows all there 1 to be known about championship teamM. Nevertheless and notwithstanding, It Is asserted that not one base-ball tan In ten know who Fred Mitchell Is. Mitch ell's nam appears among the list of twenty-six Boston players who split up nearly $75,000 for beating tho Aihletlc. He wa a big factor In Baaton'a aensa tlonal victory, and George Stalling ay he Is entitled to ten shares of the prise money instead of one. Mitchell is no less a mystery to the amall town fan than he ia to a great majority of enthusiast who saw the Brave perform in National league cities last season. He is a world's series hero whose light' haa . been hidden under a bushel. Modest and retiring, he shuns publicity. Mitchell's Record. Now that yoit are all pin and needle to know who thi "Mysterious Mitchell" Is, her i hi record. He once worked for Connie Mack, is a former Yankee catcher, and now haa a job for life with George Stagings, whose man Friday h Is. Next to Evers Stalling gives Mitchell more credit for moulding tho Braves Into a great team than any other member of that remarkable family. After the third game of th world' series Ktallings . wa . standing In th lobby of tha Hotel Tlaxa In Boston re ceiving th congratulation of base ball men from all over th country.' A smooth featured, swarthy, stocky man of about thirty-five strolled along. H nodded to Stalling and did not even atop to join in the conversation. "You fellows have had a lot to say about me," remarked Btalllngs to some base ball writers, "and you have given a lot of publicity to members of my team, but you have all overlooked one of my tar. . There l;e goes. I consider Fred Mitchell the most valuable lieutenant any manager ever had. ill coaching of my pitchers Is responsible, as much as any other factor, for the .wonderful success of the Braves.
