NOVIA OUT TO KAYO BRENNER Quakers Manager Sends Warning, Declaring His Protege Best Bantam in State, Johnny Loftus, manager of Sammy Novia, the Philadelphia bantamweight, who meets Len Brenner, of this city, in the feature bout of a show to be staged by the Lancaster Boxing Club in the Fulton Opera House on Monday night, dc Mares that his protege is the best bantam weight in the State and that he is willing to back up this claim by ma'chlng Novia with all comers.

Novia is a great fight tr, says Loftus," because he has a good head and is willing to Hu is a hard puncher and 2j fast. He has one ambition at present and that is to show Lancaster fans his kayo punch. Tell Brenner that he better bo right on Monday night for Novia intends to knock him out if there is a possible chance. With Novia and Brenner both in the same frame of mind, Mr. Fistic Fan can look for something out of the ordinary in the way of punch slinging on Monday night.

Novia has done some big things fisticaliy as was shown not long ago in his bouts with Bobby Wolgast and A1 Gordon. He has improved much since then and both Wolgast and Gordon have refused to meet him in the ring. Novia realizes that a victory over Brenner will mean much in advancing him along the bantamweight route. It requires no excitement of the imagination to see the local boys laurels transferred to the blond brow of Novia, in the event that he should put the skids under Brenner. Both boys realize the seriousness of the situation and are perhaps more concerned than anybody else.

Both have put in strenuous training licks for the past two weeks and are In great shape. national league YESTERDAY KESrLTS. Phillies, 10; New York, 6 (10 Innings). Brooklyn, Boston, 1 (first game). Brooklyn, Boston, 1 (second game).

Scores: ROBINS EMULATE BRAVES OF 1924 Dodgers Are Sensation of League Establishing New Record for Doubleheaders. NEW YORK, Sept. 5. (By the Associated Press). The Brooklyn Dodgers of 1924 are emulating the Boston Braves, of 1914.

It was Just ten years ago that the Boston Braves, trailing the whole field on July 4, began their famous drive that brought them under the wire first In September. (And over across the Brooklyn Bridge theyre saying that history repeats itself every decade. It was on Sunday, August 24, that the stalwart shoulders of the mighty Dodgers were last pinned to the Axminster. And they were well nailed at that killing, the Cardinals administering a double defeat to the Brooklynites, the second game going to the Rickey employes, 17 to But since that humiliation the Dodgers have won exactly 13 straight games, eight of them in the last four days. The record books fail to show any other performance similar to that of the Dodgers In winning four consecutive double-headers on as many days.

When this sensational winning started the Dodgers were well heeled in third place, seven and one-half games behind the league-leading Giants. Today the Brooklyn team stands In second place, three points behind the Giants. The Dodgers yesterday won a pair from the Boston Braves, jumping from third to second place when the Pirates skidded against the Cardinals. Tnd Brooklyn's victories were decisive, the first game going to the Ebbets employes, 5 to 1, and the second laking the same route, 9 to 1. St.

Louis thumped Pittsburgh. 9 to 5, and the slipping Giants lost a decision to the Phillies 10 to 6. The Cincinnati Reds, fighting desperately to land in the first division, blanked the Cubs, 3 to 0. Down in Washington they're thinking of running Walter Johnson for president on an idepedent ticket with Stanley Harris as his running mate. The Senators yesterday, with Walter Johnson feeding the pills, administered the ether to the Boston Red Sox while the Yankees were knocked unconscious by Connie Macks Athletics.

The Washington club won, 12 to 5. while the Yankees trailed the Athletics 8 to 3. Chicago and St. Louis started an argument which tjas curtained in the second stanza due to excess moisture. Washington now enjoys a lead of two full games over the ambitious Yankees.

ENGLISH GROOM MANJjF PARTS Jimmy Faukner, Who Cares for Polo Mounts, Is Father of Thirty Children. WESTBURY, L. N. Sept. 5.

Short, stocky, ruddy of complexion with a wealth of English accent, Jimmy Faukner. stud groom for the Rritlsh International polo team Is a man of parts. Looking not a day over fifty, Jimmy can boast of seventy-one years. The little Englishman has been married twice and is a true disciple of the late Theodore Roosevelt, with a strong disapproval of race suicide. He proudly hoasts of no less than thirty children, fourteen boys and sixteen bonny girls.

Five of his sons gave their lives for England In the World War and when Jimmy talks of this, It Is with a flashing eye that speaks volumes. A great responsibility rests on the broad shoulders of Faukner, who, with a string of forty-six polo ponies to look after, finds himself busy from morn till night. Every pony in the string is under his direct care and receives all the attention of a pampered child. Nine of the string are ramed by Faukner as the best of the lot. Th-y are: None So Pretty, I.

X. Story Teller, Bubbles, O'dearla, Petti Sing Tobiana, IDoreta and Lady Bird, the apple of Jlmys eye, who, according to Jimmy is as intelligent as most human beings. "A sporting chance" is the way Faukner put it when asked regarding the chances of the team in the Coming matches. KRAFT AFTER 50TH HOMER GALVESTON, Texas, Sept. 6.

M. and by appointment Bell Phone 92W. Landisville EPHRATA MEETS COLUMBIA OWLS Lancaster High Is about to be-ome a member cf the Pennsylvania iterscholastic Athletic Association, 'his became evident yesterday, with umerous reports circulated about the chool, combined with the expressed pinions of both City Superintendent t. E. Gress and Coach Ralph I.

Shock on the issue. Official announcement by Prof. B. W. Fisher on this itest move is expected sometime uring the day.

Another verification of the rumoi exposed yesterday, at the month-y meeting of the school board. In a etter to the board, Coach Shockey equested that a fund of $500 be estab to comply with the require-nents of the P. I. A. A.

It was also dated in the communication that the inly thing in the way of finances to dart the present foot ball season a standing debt of $700. Former Coach H. D. teller today made known the fact that the ledger was evenly balanced at the time of his resignation. "I know of no Handing debt' of $700," he asserted when so informed last evening.

"New foot ball and basket ball equipment was ordered, and I believe the shipment has come through. This is the case every' year, but payment can be made during the playing season. In discussing the P. I. A.

Coach Shockey thought that the entrance of Lancaster High would be a good thing. "We do not necessarily have to join the Central Pennsylvania League. I would much rather play independently. But the p. I.

A. A. helps one considerably In arranging the schedules. More schools can be booked and better teams brought here. Aftd after all is said, the fee is but two dollars." Eligibility rules were the keynotes of many rumors afloat yesterday.

The day of the post graduate seems to be doomed forever, while three units of work is required of the players. A passing grade of 80 or more decides scholastic eligibility, the age limit being 21 years. Prior to entering the P. I. A.

the faculty alone passed upon the eligibility of high school players and wrangles frequently took place, especially after the Penn Tournament. While never before a member of th) P. I. A. the school did membership privileges in the Central Pennsylvania League, some nine or ten odd years ago.

At that tifhe, Reading, Lebanon, York, Gettys burg and Harrisburg comprised the circuit. After heated arguments over playing men rated as "professional. Tech admitted the charges, but claimed that nothing could be done, as Reading and Lebanon were also giilty of aimilar charges. Rather than to. submit to such steam roller tac-tiis, Lancaster High withdrew.

Practically the fame thing occurred thjs year, resulting in Reading High leaving the League. Thi3 time Gettys bdrg and York were the guilty parties, playing ineligible men. At a meeting in Harrisburg, it was decided to disregard either teams claims for the As neither were anyways running, the "penalty" proved less than a joke and this action gave T0ch the championship. Reading High however, dropped out befor the sea-eoji was ended. STATE GRIDMEN NUMBER FORTY All Are in Training Camp.

Coaches Face Problem of Developing Sub Linemen. STATE COLLEGE, Sept. 5. With 11 of the expected candidates now on hand, the Penn Slate foot ball squad numbers over forty and is at it full strength. While some additional players may report with the opening of coliege, the men who are now taking part In the early practice are almost sure to land tne varsity berths.

The backs seem to be in the majority this fall and the dearth of substitute line material offers a re problem fur ie coaches.
