JIM COFFEY CLEANS
 ALLEN UP EASILY
Tom Gibbons, Brother of Mike, Makes
 Debut in New York.

Jim Coffey. the Dublin giant who calls himself the Irish heavyweight champion. landed the haymalxer in quick order in his bout with Whitey Allen at the Fairmont A. C., New York, last night. Coffey was schedul- ed to go ten rounds with his white hope' opponent, but galloped away with the honors in less than a round of fighting. He connected with a right swing to the jaw. sending his opponent to dreamland in the opening session.
 Coffey showed from the start he out classed his opponent. He rushed into Allen after the handshake and landed two hard rights to Aliens jaw. Lanky Jim then crashed several blows to the body and followed that with the punch to the jaw that ended the mill.
 In the eemi-final bout of ten rounds Tom Gibbons, brother of the elusive St. Paul middleweight, outpointed Joe BorreIl in fast mill. Judging by Toms exhibition of speed and skill in last nights contest 1t won't be long before he will be drawing large crowds as result of his ability.

 While pastiming at Memphis the MiIIers rode out to the yard in two autos. President Coleman was stand ing with Joe and watched the gray haired heroes helping each other out of the first auto with many a crealx and groan.
 Are these your ball pIayers?" Mir. Coleman asked.

There he grabbed an axe and chopped a perfectly good roof off the house be- fore any one could stop him. The fire was in the chimney. Rube did all the damage.

He was hard press ed in the fifth and ninth. In the fifth Moose Miller singled and went to sec ond on RoIlinE's sacrifice He tried to score on a short single to lett, but Bron1o SiIzer and Bomtes napoed nam at the plate on a good relay throw
 Tn the ninth the danger was more acute. Joe Pope commenced with a hot one past third base and Barr sac rificed. Tuckey shifted his gum anp ranned the heavy hitting Foster. Roll ing lined to Bowman and the game was over.
 The Mechanics won the pastime in the seventh. Eddie Burns expired on a long fly to Kerr. Russell bounded a hit off Pitcher Eurch's glove and went to third on Tuckey's single to right. After Lied had famed, the double steal was tried. Pope dropped Narle's throw and Russell scampered home.

YALE ELEVEN TO HAVE SCRIMMAGE Coach Jones Orders Two Weeks of Spring Practice
 Games

New Haven, April 3o-For the first time in Yale football history there will be two weeks of scrimmaging at the spring practice. It is largely expert- mental in its scope and embraces to test some Of the theories of Head Coach Howard Jones and Captain Henry Ketchan It is in no sense rugged or protracted enough to be a test of endurance.
 Captain Ketcham said that 1t would be followed by a drill of several days in bunting and drop kicking which will draw to close the most exten- sive spring work ever uapped out at Yale.
 Five coaches are with the squad regularly, almost as many as appear at the customary fall daily work They include Head Coach Howard Jones. his Iieutenants Carl Gallauer, Douziass Bomeisler and Captain Spaldins of the eleven last fall, ana pr. Billy Bull, who has charge of the kicking game in every variety Of the play.

KILBANE-DUNDEE
 DRAW VERDICT IS
 KISSED BY CROWD

Los Angeles, April 30->Johnny Dun dee was given draw at the end of his twenty round fight last night with Johnny Kilbane, the featherweight champion Kilbane apparently out pointed the challenger in every round but the Italians desperate twentieth round finish, in the opinion of Referee Eyeton, earned him draw. The de- cision was unpopular and the crowd voiced its disapproval in strong terms.
 Kilbane led in the fight by rounds.
 Dundee is a great dancing master. He jumps around, goes in the air and half the time the crowd couldn't tell whether he was hurdling trying the high jump. In the early rounds Kilbane jabbed Dundee frequently and opened a cut over the New Workers s eye. In the ninth 8 hard left brought the blood from Dundee's mouth.
 Kilbane took things very calmly and improved as the fight went on. In the 14th he drove Dundee to the ropes with a vol1ey of blows to the face. Kilbane continued to hold his advan- tage and in the 20th Dundee made a desperate effort. He jared Kilbane with a hard left to the jaw and was landing rights and 1efts on the cham pion's face as the bell rang.
 Following the KiIbane-Dundee fight here, last night, there was riot just outside the enclosure during which a young man, as yet unidentified, prob ably was fatally injured by being struck on the head with a stone. Sev- eral shots were fired by the police after the crowd outside had hurled stones.
