WELSH ARRIVES
 TO FIGHT PACKEY

Freddie Welsh, who regained the English lightweight, boxing champion ship and the Lord Lonsda1e belt from Matt Wells since he left, these. shores several months ago. returned to New York yesterday on the Mauretania for an extended stay. Welsh is not signed for any bouts, but his man ager Harry Pollok, is in a receptive mood for offers from promoters here or elsewhere.
 Welsh will remain in New York until after the bout between Joe Riv CTS and Leach Cross. He plans to rest for a few weeks, as he has fig tired in five bouts during the past five weeks so he will not enter a gymnasium until he signs for bout. He recently fought three times within a space of seven. days, and all the bouts were carded to go twenty rounds, but Welsh won two -of them in less Than the scheduled time.+
 Tom McCarey,F the Los Angeles promoter is trying to engage the English champion for a bout on the difficulty getting an opponent such as he desires. Welsh said yesterday that he would like to get into the ring again with Packey Mcfarland, whom he has fought three times, but the best he will allow Mcfarland as re- gards weight is 133 pounds at o'clock in the afternoon This is the weight Packey agreed to make for Ad Vel gast- more than a year ago, but he has not attempted it since; Welsh now tips the beam at 137 pounds, but says he can make 133 pounds ringside with out weakening himself.

SENATOR'S WIN
 FROM PHILA. CLUB

Washington, D. C., March 2s.- @Joe'' EngeI and Bert Ga1lia, two youthful pitchers of the Washington team, held the Philadelphia Nationals safe at all stages here yesterday, and Clarke Griffith's men won handily in their first exhibition at American League Park. The score. was 6 to 2. Washington used it's regular lineup, including two catchecs and like number of twirlers, while the Phf11ies sent sixteen men into the contest, a trio doing slab duty and four acting as futile pinch hffters.
 Laporte was the only. man on either club to do much stick work, getting two doubles and a single: The field ing of the Nationals, however, was brilliant and errorless. In every de- partment Washington outplayed it's opponents from the old circuit, and this despite the fact that the visitors used two of their best conditioned slabmen. George Cha liners was given the worst treatment, being found for seven safeties, which included d dou- b1e and a triple. :-
 The game demonstrated that the Nationals are in prime shape. They played with n1dseason speed; while the PhiIlies, though far from bad, suf- fered in comparison.

The vet eran of the diamond; who was sent to the discard last year after the long est active career in baseball history, is forty-six today, having been born in Gilmore, O., March 29, 1867. Cy is the owner of considerable property in Ohio and expects to spend his remain ing years as a farmer, although it is said he entertains ambition to be- come a baseball scout. Cy things he would know an incipient baseball star if he saw one, and he certainly ought to- Young tried to live up to his name last year and gave old Pop Time hard fight, but in the end was sent down for the full count Back on the farm he omciated as a pitcher for rural nine and the opposing team, made up of country. lads, knocked him out of the box.
 Young's remarkable physique, his indomitable will, his extraordinary generalship and his good habits were responsible for his staying in the game as a pitcher for nearly a quarter of a, century. He stands nearly an inch over six feet, weighs 225 pounds when in the best trim, and is possessed of strength that might, if it had been turned in another direction. have made him a heavyweight champion of the world. His eyes, large and gray and slightly protruding, sparkle with keen wit, his straight, firm mouth shows his grim determination

FOX's LYRIC THEATRE
CBy the Fox Lyric Press Agent.>

NA0y l40 O& AS0nDsJ
 great many people go on the prin- ciple that the best religion is the way you live, and by the same token the
 best acts in vaudeville are the acts that please most of the people all the time irrespective of whether the afore- said acts are branded t'big time, small tirne' or ''any old time" For the bill the first half Of the comin g week at the Lyric Theatre William Fox is sending six acts and three of the acts are credited with playing all of the time .''- Two of them were headlined over. the .Orpheum circuit of theatres considered the biggest of the big time; another was 8. feature act in every Keith house in the United States, and with all of this in mind and a full knowledge on the subject Mir. Fox believes that they are not any too good for his circuit.
 Heading the bill will be Ernest Cos sart and company in the novel sketch idea, f'Why Be Sober?'' and when you see the sketch you will agree that the title is a logical question. A bon vivant is having a night Of it and filled with the water that bubbles he conceives a brilliant idea of an il- lumtnated keyhole. He calls. to him many friends and assures them they can get in on the big invention and make a barrel of money. The propo- sition looks good to them and they all decide to invest. Next morning when he wakes up sober he has forgotten what the idea was all about and then the trouble begins. It takes six peo- pie to present the sketch and it is one roar from start to finish.
 As a special feature of the bill MT. Fox is sending to Bridgeport a favor ite dancing act, the Moffett Clare Trio, without any question the most artistic dancing act before the Amer jean public. Moffett and Clare were the pioneer society cabaret dancers and preceded Maurice and Walton by two years. They have been the spe- cial feature of the Orpheun bills from Chicago to the coast and have been tuning of the act is beautiful and the dances are all original It is the most expensive dancing act playing the Fox time.
 It is hardly necessary to remind those who know vaudeville that the Olivatti Troubadours is the billing of one of the best known musical duos in vaudeville. Both here and in Eur ope these two real artists have been a sensational hit and they were that right in this city less than two months ago. One is a wonderful guitarist and They have never played second place in popularity to any act on any \bil1, and that is some record.
 Koishaw and Ivine will present a novel singing and dancing act mostly with a Scotch flavor, and another neat act with beauty, youth and talent combined will be that offered by the Ashley Sisters. Finally there will be Helen Primrose, best of all the big crop of single singing comediennes.
 That completes the bill barring the always enjoyable six photo plays and with the prices of admission charged by Fox in mind it must be conceded in advance that it is a mighty big bill to offer.
