the 1913 season at the Hotel Victoria,
New York, yesterday afternoon. 1t

President Ed Barrow had fixed up.
The opening day card on Wednes-
day, April is, is as follows:
Toronto at Newark, Buffalo at Jer-
sey City, Rochester at Baltimore and
Montreal at Providence. The sehed-
ule, as usual, consists of 154 games,

knocked Kimball to the mat in the
first or second round. The latter
weighed Just about ten pounds more

proved no handicap for the clever
Victor, who jabbed the Fighting

from the game for several months.
His services in local rings will be
sorely missed, for he was one of the
cleanest and cleverest lads that ever
entered a ring hereabouts. With his
hands in fine shape there are few at
his weight who could excel him at
either hitting or cleverness.
The other bouts, which numbered
nine, were highly interesting, and the
big crowd on hand was furnished
with an evening of excitement.
Young Diamond outslugged frankie
Saunders, of Elizabeth. in one of the
main bouts. Diamond was the ag-

to hit the cool "Betsytowner' enough
