of the floor, but lost his balance and
fell backward with his bulky opponent

be badly hurt. The referee declared

WillettS OutclaSSed
In Bout With Lucas

LANCASTER, Jan. 3.-Willie Lucas
and Sam Willetts went six fast rounds
before the Lancaster Athletic Club, and
the former entirely outclassed Willetts,
who was substituted for Fred Corbett.
While Lucas played most of the time
for Willetts' head, using a wicked left
tab or uppercut, varying his tactices by
an occasional right swing to the jaw.
Willetts played almost entirely for the
body, but did little harm. Willetts was
pounded numerically in the fifth round,
and Lucas had him grogGy when the
bell tapped. While Sammy stayed the
limit he was weak in the final round.
In the preliminaries Johnny Welsh
knocked out Young Russell, and New.
Campbell knocked out Sammy Parks,
all local lads.

BIG BOXING ARENA
FORMALLY OPENED
President Sends Regrets to
O'Brien for His Inability
to Attend.

PdILAnELPHIA, Jan. 3.-"The Presi-
dent appreciates your kind invitation,
and regrets that engagements here pre-
vent him from accepting" Such was
the message transmitted from the White
secretary for President Taft. to Jack
O'Brien, proprietor and manager of the
American Athletic Club.
1t was one of the many features cleV-
erly conceived by that astute, skillful
exponent of boxing to make the opening
of his palattal arena mark an epoch in
the sport in this country.
Mayor Reyburn and Director Clay
were there in their official capacity.
Each climbed through the ropes, and
not only commended the crowd for their
loyalty to the sport OF boxing, which is
now rated as a national pastime, but
also thanked those present for their
tribute to the good cause, for through
the courtesy of Manager O'Brien the
entire net receipts, which. with contri-
buttons, amounted to $1,09S.25, was
turned over to the fund for the i'll
fated firemen's families.
Director Clay emphasized his speech
with the fact that, now that boxing In
Philadelphia was within the province of
the law, he deemed ii the duty of the
department of public safety to regulate
ii, and he hoped that nothing would
ever occur to cause its abandonment or
discontinuance.
A. J. DreXel Biddle was introduced as
a Democratic patron and advocate Of
the sport. He said: The opening and
patronage of such an arena as the
American Athletic Club presents could
not help but elevate the pastime. Phila-
delphia Is now in the limelight and the
eyes of the entire world of sportsmeu
are now turned toward the Quaker
City"
Floyd, formerly amateur middleweight
champion, who officiated as referee of
the first bout. The bell tinkled, and
Tommy Carey, of Port Richmond, and
Johnny Hogan, of Southwark, shook
hands and the curtain was rung up on
the mammoth arena

Those who saw the dual swimming
meet at the Y. NJ. c. A. are loud in
their praise of the aquatic ability of
the Argo Club of Philadelphia, which
carried off the honors from the Nautilus
Club of this city.
Spectators are unanimous in their be-
lief that had it not been for Schaal, of
the winners. there might be a different
story to tell today. This young man
proved to be a verItable dsh, winning
two events, finishing second in two
others, and being a member Of the
winning relay team.
Due credit must be given TO Boss, OF
the Nautilus Club, who displayed re-
markable staying powers in the under
water swim. He won this event by
swimming the length OF the tank three
times, his nearest competitor, Schaal.

Ministerial Battery.

Cleveland will boast of a min
isterial battery on the spring
training trip, and mayhap dur
ing the 1911 campaign.
Earl Yingling, Nap southpaw, Sc
cured from Toledo, and John
Bradley, catcher, drafted from
Johnstown, Pa, are the sons Of
clergymen, says the Cleveland
News. Their fathers are justly
proud of their offspring's ability
on the green sward. 1t is within
the range of possibilities that we
will hear Umpire Billy Evans
yell during the coming season:
"The battery for Cleveland is
Yingling and Bradley"
If this comes to pass, wonder if
one of several piratical cussers
in the American League will be
able to shock the modesty of the
ministerial battery pair with a
choice volley of blankety blanks?

Tech After Mulligan
To Coach Track Team

Indications appear to point to the Sc
lection of James V. Mulligan as coach
of the Technical High School track team
for the coming track season.
1t has been known for some time that
Tech has been after Mulligan, and 1t is
thought that If one or two slight objec-
tions can be removed. Tech will get a
first-class coach. Captain Thrall and
Manager Giles have been at work dur
ing the holidays endeavoring to obtain
a suitable place to train, and II is said
that the Arcade may be used.
Should Tech get Mulligan for track,
there is little doubt but that the team
will acquit itself well in the coming
winter meets here and in Baltimore.
With the long time ahead before the
annual high school spring meet Tech
should rapidly develop a, team worthy

The form the Regulars displayed in
the final half of their game with the
Rovers is the topic of conversation at

gan the second half in whirlwind style
and by system of password that baf-
fed their opponents. together with ac-
curate goal tossing, the team succeed

lost no time in seeing that her sisters

Now Mrs. Nathan sees nothing in
