Hoosier Who Won 7 of 11 Bouts In Australia By K. 0., Resumes Mauling.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Dec. 17.—Milburn Saylor has started on another knockout campaign. The sensational lightweight, who won seven bouts out of eleven in Australia with sleep producers, stopped Harry Donohue, of Peoria, 111., in the ninth round of a tenround contest the other night with a single punch—a terrific right to the jaw. Manager Ray Bronson is now out to convince the boxing fans that the Hoosier lightweight is the hardest hitting l?.3-pounder in the business.

Sayior'a knoclccut proclivities have made him one of the most dangerous hitters in the division, and he is experiencing some trouble in getting work with the boys.

One of the features of Sayior'a last two engagements was that he accepted the matches on only twenty-four hours' notice. He first substituted for Freddie Welsh and gained a thade over Mickey Sheridan in Grand Rapids. Milburn then took Tommy Gary's place on the card witn Harry Donohue, with the result as already mentioned. Donohue is

chap who knov\*3 all of the tricks of the game, and Sayior'a achievement was a noteworthy one.

The Indianapolis lightweight is after Freddie Welsh, whom ho claims to have scored a knockout over, enly to have the referee give the bout to the Englishman on a foul. His manager, Bronson, does not care where the match is staged, but a^ks that the weight bo rot more than 125 pounds at S o'clock the afternoon ol" the battle.

Over-anxietv is held to be mainly responsible for "Chick" Hayes' defeat at the hands of Frajikie Burns in New Orleans the other night. Brorison ,was vnable to accompany Hayes, owing to the two matches which Saylor had on the card, and "Chick" over-trained for the bout. The little fellow was far from himself. He will take a short rest and then go after Burns for another battle.

TURKEY TEAMS CLASH.

The Y. M. C. A. Turkey league schedule will be resumed tonight with a double-header basketball bill between the Runs and Trot3, and Leaders and Feathers. In addition, the Gobblers and Crease will clash on the track.

Beer a Body Builder in Appetizing Form

The time has passed when we take our castor oil and quinine straight. Nowadays we have sugar coated pills and oil sandwiched between layers of a pleasant "chaser." Modern civilization demands its food as well as its medicine in the most palatable form.

A given quantity of nutriment can be obtained more cheaply from bread than from beer. Likewise there is as much food in a rump steak as in a porterhouse, but we usually choose the latter.

Beer supplies the demand for a food, similar to bread, in agreeable form. While it nourishes the body it also pleases the palate of the consumer.

Beer fills the modern conception of wholesome, appetizing food. Try a bottle with your meals.

POSTPONE POLY GAMES

By Charles N. Sieve.®"*

Because of a student council meeting and the inability of several of the players to appear, the Rose Poly interclass basketball games scheduled for Wednesday evening were postponed until tonight.

A number of the athletes have black eyes, skinned knees, elbows, etc., and therefore do not feel in the best of condition. From all indications, the sophomores have other reasons for not wanting to play. During the entire series they have not won a single game and probably will not play tne juniors in the final game. The seniors, however, are still keen to meet the junior team and have had no loss of spirit because of their previous defeat.

"I QUIT FEDERALS

ST. UOUIS, Mo., Dec. 17.—Edward Konetchy, former first baseman for the Pittsburgh Nationals, will remain loyal to the Pittsburgh Federals, according to a statement he gave out today after a conference with President Gilmore, of the Federal league. "I desire to inform the baseball fans of this country that I signed a contract to play first base for the Pittsburgh Federals for the seasons of 1915-'16-'17, and that I am more than satisfied with the terma of this contract," said Konetchy. "The Federal league has given the opportunity to all ball players to better their conditions and I am satisfied It i3 a permanent organization."

FACES BATTLE

State Normal faces a. hard game tonight, when the Teachers will stack up against the fast Middletown Independents. Coach Westphal's five has an early season victory over Middletown, but the contest was a battle throughout and tonight's setto promises to be hotly contested. The Teachers are liked to win, but not without a struggle.

Knauth and Shriner will team at the forward positions, with Stiffler at center, and Wann and Royer at guard.

Notre Dame Easy Victor

NOTRE DAME, Ind., Dec. 17.—Notre Damo was an easy victor last night in the second basketball game of the season. beating the Arkansas Aggies, 29 to 10. From the first the Aggies did not have a chance and after The first half, when the score stooel 1* to 5, the second squad of the gold and blue went in and s.hot three baskets to every one by the Aggies. Daly of the second squad, with three goals to his credit, did some exceptionally fine passing and shcotii g.

Row/and to Manage Sox

CHICAGO, Dec. 17.—Clarence Rowland, last year manager of the Peoria Three-I league club, today signed as manager of the Chicago Americans for a term of one year.

Jack Johnson has not specified whether he will use an aeroplane or a submarine in fighting Jesse Willard.

The Feds" have dealt the Cardinals another terrific blow by taking Catcher O'Connor. Inasmuch as Wingo caught seventy games and Snyder nine-ty-eight games last season, the National league averages did not have room for O'Connor's work behind the bat.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex., Dec. 17.— Brownsville, Tex., has been asked by Jack Curley, promoter of the JohnsonWillard fight, to submit a proposition for holding the fight on the border. Dr. W. J. Dougherty left for New York last night to submit Brownsville's proposition.

BOSTON, Mass., Dec. 17.—One-story cement stands, capable of seating ap-

roximately 15,000 spectators, will be at the Booton National league club's new baseball park in the Allstone district. President James E. Gaffney naid today that the grounas would be constructed something after the manner of the Yale bowl.

Bresnahan said that seventeen players on the club's reserve list would be retained.

POIY ACTION PLEASES BUTLER.

INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 17.—No surprise was caused among the members of the Butler college athletic board yesterday when it was known that Rose Poly had voted to pay the |12!3 forfeit for failure to play Butler this year. The Butler board left the matter to the best judgment of the Rose Poly board and is pleased with the action of the Terre Haute school.

IN OUR SET

All the Phillies need, says a Philadelphia exchange, are a catcher to replace Dooin, a first baseman, a second sacker, a shortstop, an outfielder and two pitchers. In other words the club has a third baseman, ground keeper and sufficient turnstile guardians.

MAKE

GREAT CUT IN SQUAD

Boss of Giants Has Thirty-Two Players Who Must Be Placed Before May Day.

Thirty- two members of tne present New York Giant squad will nave to be separated from President Hempstead's payroll before the first of May. At the present time, Johnny McGraw has fifty-three players under contract, and under the rule recently passed by the National league only twenty-one can be carried after May day. There is sure to be a big scramble for a good many of these lads when McGraw starts swinging tho axe. For years the management of the New York team has b«K?n paying the high prices and corralling the besi young playing talent in the country. There is no doubt that in the past few reasons McGraw has had many better players on his bench than were to be found in various petitions on other teams of the major leagues. Last year was a fine one for the Giants, as tho National league look ihe player limit eff the clubs so that the youngsters could r.ot hop over to the Feds when being ordered back to the minors. This winter the magnates seem more willing to take a chance on the surplus material going to the Federal league than they do on having the receipts cut into by too many ball players. Before the first of May comes around McGraw will have to ask waivers on thirty-two players, and it's a cinch that many of the other big league clubs will weigh in with demands on a good many of these lads. All of which will help strengthen some of the weaker clubs, tend to make a better race in the eld league and, incidentally, give the minors a chance at those players who do not hurdle.

Another example of the cutting down of expenses, as now being exemplified in the major leagues, is the letting out of "Germany" Schaefer, the veteran infielder, outfielder and clown of tho Washington Nationals. The former lias boen of little use to the Nationals fer come time, as far as his playing ability was concerned, but it was believed his antics served the purpose of keeping the other players in good humor and thereby helping them in their fght to keep around tho top of the American league. Buc coining right down to facts, Schaefer was little more than a pensioner, and in these days of baseball war and high salaries, there is little chance of keeping any pensioners on the payroll.

The passing of the crisis in his fight with pneumonia by Johnny Evers will be hailed with delight by fans in ail parts of the country. Even the most aident admirers of the Athletics in the recent series willingly paid tribute to the great work of the Boston captain, who has been popular with the fans ever since he broke into tho famous Cub machine. Never of a rugged physicue, the Iittie second-saclcer has always made up for his deficiency by a large supply of nerve, and this Is what has evidently come to his rescue at this time.

Federal league scouts arc said to have offered Maranville, of the Braves, $10,000 for three years, but the latter is said to have turned them down. It is no easy matter to lure a olayer who has just raked in big coin in tho world's series, with prospects of repeating noxt season.

MINNESOTA COACH STICKS

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn.. Dec. 17.—Dr. H. I* Williams, coach of the University of Minnesota football team, today was granted a contract for three years more at a salary of $4,000 a year, but subject to being revoked in case tho plan for athletic '"expansion" should Interfere. Sig Harris, assistant coach, was continued in his position.
