bulk of sympathy with the Big Red team. Cornell downthed the Crim son last season, and the Ithaca elev en is even better this fall. Cornell has a game later in the season with Michigan and Yost has the best team the Wolverines have boasted for several campaigns. He will have an excellent chance when his pupils meet Cornell, barring in juries. So, should Cornell down Harvard, Michigan would bulk large by thrashing Cornell. Garry Herrmann is still trying to land a bull moose for his private zoo in Cincinnati Garry is not interest ed in what Barney Dreyfuss says about the national commission. Ban Johnson says he could tear John and his National league administra tion to pieces if he wanted to, but refrains for fear of hurting the game. All of which holds us goggle-eyed as we wait for the gents in question to unburden themselves and tell what they know about each other, if anything. But, rooting under a mess of per sonalities, it is plain that Dreyfuss has logic on his side in a demand for a change in the make-up of the na tional commission and that does not mean any question as to the per sonal integrity of the members. But it seems fair that this trium virate, which handles some of the biggest questions in the game, ques tions which, through the placing of players, have an indirect bearing on the outcome of pennant races, should be without personal interest in the game.

Some time ago Jimmy Kilroy, North Side fight manager, wrote a letter in here to the effect that he was retiring from the ring game. Knowing how Jim loved the game, we didn't print it, figuring he would come back when he had gotten over a spell of discouragement he was la boring under then. Jim is back. He has matched his lightweight, Andy Williams, with Rabbit Hedlin, the fight to take place before a suburban club some time in the near future, probably Nov. 16. Final arrangements will be made to morrow. No love is lost between Williams and Hedlin and the fight should be a hummer. Johnny Griffiths outpointed Jimmy Duffy in ten rounds at Buffalo. Both men were willing to fight, but Griffiths-did the greater damage. o o THESE MEN THINK AT LEAST $1,000,000 OF WILSON New York, Oct. 27. Cleveland H.
