FOR STATE CHAMPIONSHIP KING Vs. DOHFRTY. Lightweights Will Battle Fifteen Rounds Next
 Friday Night.

The Connecticut Athletic club will next Friday night present one of the best boxing cards of the season, secur- ing for the big show Mosey King, Yales boxing instructor, and Jeff Doherty,, who are scheduled to go fif- teen rounds to a decision.
 This battle will really determine once and for all the title of champion light weight of Connecticut, as both Doherty and King claim that honor. The fact that these boys have agreed to box winner take all insures local fight fans of 8 slap, bang mill, for the decision of the referee, Hector McInnis of Bos- on, will be handed out on points, and the outcome of this mill is at present very much in doubt.
 Jeff Doherty started training last week. He has blished camp in West Haven near the shore, and is working faithfully to get down to weight. Part of his daily program is a dip in the Sound, after boxing with several of his sparring partners. Like all the big fellows Jeff believes in road " OIh dllu ldS duu6Q d IlNE Illle tramp through the country to his daily work.
 Mosey King will have the backing of big crowd of New London sports, as Nose comes from. the Whaling city and is a great favorite there He is doing his training at the Yale gym and his friends claim that he Is much fast CT than when he boxed Doherty here last March.
 In the semi final mill "Dodo" Maher of this city will meet Abe the News boy" of New York, the bout is carded for eight rounds. Maher is favorably known to local sports and has a large following. If he beats the New York init pusher he will be matched with Jeff Doherty before some local club.
 As curtain raiser, Young Ryan of Cambridge, and Kid smith of Provi- dence, will mix it for six rounds. These boys are boxing for a big side bet and as they have cleaned up all the preliminary fighters in Massachu- setts and Rhode Island, they may be depended upon to put up a slashing exhibition.

OPTION TO TRANSFER GAMES
HUMPHREY PRIVILEGED
President Tracey and All Managers but Durant
 Present.

All of the State league baseball teams except Waterbury were represented at the meeting held last evening in one of the small rear rooms of the Garde ho- tel. The humidity was intense and the magnates tried to pull off the work which was supposed to come up at the meeting in as quick time as possible, but In the one hour in which they were in session only one real matter of i'm portance was discussed. The managers were all willing to allow Manager Humphrey the option of transferring all of hls home games to other towns. The question had been up to this time unsettled and was of considerable im- portance.
 President Tracy was in the chair and the teams were represented as follows: P. H. Prindeville, Holyoke; Dan O'Neil, Springfield; J. H. Clarkin, Hartford; c. J. Danaher, New Haven; Gus Soffel Norwich; Charles Humphrey, New London, and James O'Rourke, Bridge port. John Kennedy, the supervisor of umpires, was also present.
 From about 8 o'clock until S.45 the managers walked about the hotel in deep meditation. At o'clock the meet ing was called to order. The New London question was discussed for nearly three-quarters of an hour, final ly resulting In the managers being unanimous in allowing Humphrey the transferral privilege.
 The umpire question and the forfeited game yesterday afternoon were only just mentioned at the meeting, Man ager Danaher had an informal talk with Dan O'Neil concerning the pros poets of the game being played over again. Whether Danaher will be sue eessful in his attempt was not decided last evening.
 In the midst of the talk between Dan- aher and O'Neil several of the man. agers jumped up and made dash for the 10:4O train, thus spelling the chances of that question being settled at this meeting. Umpire Crocker, probably by reason of his injuries, was not present to defend himself at the meeting.

VALE NINE LEAVES TONIGHT.
  In Preparation for Firnt of Harvard Championship Series.

The Yale baseball team leave this evening for Boston, where they will rest one day before the first of the Har- yard championship series The question which causes the most trouble to the Eli followers is. who will occupy the box on Thursday. Van Vleck seems to be the only man who has shown any consistent work. and he will probably pitch part of the game if not all. Mey- CT has rheumatism in his legs, and his arms are not their usual form, and, therefore, Yales hopes in him arc somewhat dampened. Tn the practice last Saturday almost all the players who ever tried to pitch were put in the box and given trial. Among the most competent was Lippitt This youngeter struck five men out. among these being Church and Kinney. If Lippitt could continue in the form which he showed on Saturday there is no doubt but what he would have chance in one of the Harvard games.
