YOUNG M'AULIFFE
 IN CONDITION TO
 BEAT BANTY LEWIS

Fans desirous of securing ringside seats for the Acorn A. c. a1l-star box ing show at the Park City rink, March 27, which the ten-round bout between Young McAuIiffe, the popular local featherweight, and Banty Lewis, e New York, will feature, will do well to secure their pasteboards at once, as Matchmaker Fritz Hartmann reports that they are selling rapidly.
 Davy Ryan, the local middIeweight, otherwise known as the fighting black smith, is still hitting the training stunts conscientiously. Kid Lewis, the Waterbury midd1eweight, who is to oppose Ryan, is in the best of form according to advices received from the Brass City. Joe Walcott, of this city, the swift welter, is all ready for his eight round go with Battling Larry Ryan, the hard-hftting New Yorker and Young Jackie Robinson writes in from Derby to state that he is now down to weight and is feeling fine for his six round entertainment with Kid Allen of ths city.

MATTY BALDWIN AND
 EDDIE SMITH IN DRAW

Eddie Smith, the Yorkville slugger, held Matty Baldwin to a ten-round ar=w ia a fast bout in Bill Browns Gymnasium, New York, last night MattY had the better of the early ses- sions, but Eddie came strong in the closing rounds and gained an even break There were no knock-downs and neither one of the fighters was marked to any extent. Smith cut Baldwff1's lip in the second round and puffed one of Matty's optics in the seventh.
 Baldwin forced the lighting, but was bothered by Smiths awkward style. The Bostonian is a good judge of dis tance, but he missed a lot of punches and found great difficulty in getting to the, tough Yorkville lad.

BROOKLAWNS ARE
 BEATEN BY RIBBONS
MORRISON AND HURLEY STAR FOR WINNERS AND FRANKEL
 AND TREAT FOR LOSERS.
(By Wagner)


 The first game for the championship of Bridgeport, Stamford, South Nor walk and New Haven, was played at Brooklawn last night when. the Blue Ribbons and Brooklawns clashed to decide the question of supremacy in basketball. In view of the fact that players from the four cities mentioned above were in the lineup we violate no confidence in saying that the teams are almost playing for the worlds championship. Both teams imported players for the occasion and the out of town experts did well.
 The Ribbons were the favorites in the betting and they brought home the laurels by 31 to p. In the first half the Brooklawns had the better of the argument. They displayed better passing ability and were ahead by 13 to g when the second half started.
 Then the Ribbons began to hit their stride and they soon tied the score. Once on even terms they gradually in creased their speed until they left the Brooklawns far in the rear. Pat Hur- ley, and Jim Morrison did the bulk of the work for the Ribbons. Morri- son who is a very dangerous shot, threw them in from all angles and his playing was frequently applauded- Hurley didn't get going in the open ing session but in the second stanza he tossed four into the curtains.
 Canl1 was anOCnSr brOOA1dWn SIdI' He is fast floor worker and his two goals were timely. Heating at guard played the best game he has shown this season. Bierbaum, Burdick and Leavy also did we'll at the guards.
 For the Brook1awns, Franke1 and Treat excelled. Each registered four baskets and Frankel also delivered two fouls. Bob Hoffman had his troubles e1uding Heating and did not play up to his usual standard.
 Peachy Graham was a hard worker at guard.
 Leavy and Ludwig exchanged hay makers in the second half following a little rough work in scrambling for the ball. The referee put them off the floor. Al Burdick of the Ribbons dis located his shoulder and retired for repairs. The work of Doc Hull of New Haven, who acted as referee, de serves praise. He was impartial in playing. The next game of the se- ries will be decided March 27- The lineup:

 BaIdemero Acosta, the 16-year-oId Cuban boy, who has proved one of the sensations in the Washington training camp, has an interesting past record. The youngster comes from fighting stock, and after learning few facts in regard to his ancestry, those in the camp had no further cause to won der at his unusual gift of nerve, res ponsibIe in the main for the success he has attained on the diamond thus far. His father, at the present time outskirts of the city of Havana, is highly regarded and well known on the island, mainly through his eff forts in the struggle for independence shortly before troops from the United States took a hand in the proceedings some IS years ago.

TITUS FUNERAL TODAY
Will Be Buried At Greenwood Gene
tery-Lodges Arrange To
Attend In A Body
HUNDREDS PAY LAST TRIBUTE

The funeral of J. K. Titus was
held from the home this afternoon at
2:30, three lodges turning out in a
body and hundreds of friends paying
last tribute to the departed brother.
Rev. S. E. P. White officiated at
the house services and the Indepen-
dent order of Odd Fellows took
charge of the services at the grave.
The lodges of which the diseased
was member held special meetings
last evening and all have completed
arran gements to be present at the
services
The remarks reported to have
been made by Mr.. Titus to friends
before his death as published in the
Pioneer last evening are significant
of the fact that he alone new his
condition best, and that his friends
did not fully realize and appreciate
is illness. That they were of a serious
nature is evidenced by his sudden
departure to join the loved ones gone
before.
