BOXING NOTES

Johnny Coulon, the bantamweig ght
 champion of America, will have 8
 new rival for the worlds title in that
 class providing he wins from Kid
 Williams of Baltimore when they clash
 in Los Angeles in June, in the person
 of Clrley Walker, the latest British
 bantam champion, whose defeat Of Digger Stanley, the former champion.
 came as a big surprise to the follow

 Charlie Ledoux contest for the Euro
 pean championship and that he will.
 ner of the Coulon- Williams title match at Los Angeles. Walkers manager is prepared to put up a, side-bet for Walker to box either Coulon or Will Hams within the next three months and if necessary will sta.keS $25, 600 on the issue. This is going some for a two-day old champion. A Yankee who saw the Walker match says: 'I do not share the confidence of those behind Walker, who did not convince me on Monday night that he could beat Digger Stanley on his merits
 much on Stanley's chance against Coulon or Williams. The ex-cham- .pion is very bitter against the referee for ruling him out in his bout with Walker and he certainly has some
 grounds for complaint. There can be no disputing the fact that he did hold a lot during the bout,s though it seemed to- me that Walker was nearly as much to blame. I have | seen far more c1inching in a. title bat tie at the National Sporting club than occurred on Monday, but-the princi- l pals have generally escaped losing 1 their chanca. Certain irresponsible writers make d vast amount of fuss over the tendency of boxers to hold, | but they overlook the fact that in
 modern boxing a certain amount of l clinching is unavoidable. Providing
 that a boxer does not foul or hit in holds, do not see why he should be disqualified, but until referees are subject to some sort of examination,
 I suppose we iii Europe will have to
 submit to their vagaries''

 bert batted .314. Tn 1910 Jake be-, came the regular first baseman of the Dodgers. and he has been on the job ever since. Besides leading the league in batting, Daubert stood second among the circuits first lbaggers in fielding last year.
 Daubert is undoubtedly the star first. baseman of the game since Hal Chase hit the slide. Hal could pull off more sensational plays than Jake has ever accomplished, but the Californian was cratic, while Jake is highly depend able. Daubert is better ,swatter than Chase at his best, and as good in rum ming the bases. although not as speedy as Prince Hal
 Before the opening of the present season a dinner was given to Daubert and Robinson at which the former was presented with a mark of appreciation in the substantial form of check, said to have been for $1 900. There was wild excitement in Brooklyn last January when it was. rumored that Jake might jump to the Federals for a. consideration of $30.000 for three years, but fears were quieted when it was announced that Daubert had contract with Brooklyn covering the years of 1913-14-1E.

FRENCH THINK GUNBOAT
 SMITH MAY KNOCK OUT GEORGES CARPENTER

Ever since the Georges Carpentier Gunboat Smith match was first preached, speculation has been rife in England and France regarding the merits of the American white hope. Many and various are the opinions set forth Apparently the French fans have been following Gunboat's ca reer closely as they appear to have formed a more accurate estimate than that of the English critics.
 In England, Carpenters chances are rather favored Gunboat is said to be extremely slow in action, al though his hitting power is admitted to be above the ordinary It is thought that he will not be able to land on the clever Frenchman.
 In Paris, however, G1nboat,s prow- ess is rated highly Carpenter is ad- yised to keep away frorf1krh American and to rely upon his skill and foot work to avoid Smiths danger ous blows-which all admit will quickly put an end to Carpenters ambitions, if they land clean1y. It is predicted that should the fury of the battle get the better of Carpenters judgment, causing him to mix it, he will be knocked through the ropes by the Americans savage onAanugnt.

YALE CREW DOES MILE AT RECORD
 BREAKING SPEED


 Notwithsta nding a, choppy sea, which made it impossible for the first and second Yale varsity crews to race a distance of four miles, as. originally planned TaleI first boat actually GOV : cred the mile in the record time of 4 minutes. 15 seconds, yesterday. ! After theT@ boats had coXered the mile the coaches deemed it wise to call off the race on account of the rough water, which was getting chop pier with the rising wind.
 As result of this showing there has sprung up a feeling among the undergraduates that Yale may spring a. surprise at New London in June, even though Gia,ninni has only been on the job a year.
 The races since the last shakeup, which resulted in Captain Denegre 5 being shifted to the second boat, have all revealed that Yale has eight men who know few things about rowing. That stamina, which was so painfully lacking last year. has been shown in abundance by the first varsity since the< beginning of the. month.

REBEL OAKES NEW MANAGER
 OF PITT FEDS

@s Rebela OakessI uthessf6rmer St. Louis Cardinal. no longer is acting manager of the Pittsfeds.. He now is the real manager. It has been hinted for sew eraI days that Doc Gessler, the former Superba. player, who has been manas- ing the Pittsburgh F'ederals, was ts be let go. but no definite statement was made until yesterday, when one or the Pfttsfed pitchers said that Gessler, who is at his home in Chicago, had permanently been canned and Oakes officially made manager.
 Oakes showed he was on the Joo in Brooklyn yesterday when he called IIrnpire Brennan's attention to the fact that some of the. Brookfed play CTS were grinding the ball into the mud at-or near the end of each inning, so that a new clean and more lively 1bau would be put in use while the Brookfeds were at bat. Brennan put a stop to such tactics at the end of the seventh when he saw Maxwell grind the ball into the turf with his heel.

JAKE DAUBERT. STAR FIRST
 EASTMAN, sTARTs BOTH YEAR

Jake sDaubert, the great Brooklyn first baseman, will begin his thirtieth year tomorrow Daubert put LleWe1- Iyn, Pa, on the map by choosing that town as his birthplace on May 14, 1885. Tn his youth something hap pened to, stunt his growth, and he reached an altitude of only one inch over six feet. Last annum Jake led. the National League in batting, among those who took part in over a hun dred games, with average of 1850. Daubert has swatted over the 300
 mark since 1911, when his average was 1907. Tn 1912 he made. it 30s
 Daubert wore his first professional uniform in Kent, in the Interstate League, in 1907. The club disbanded after a couple of months, and Jake went to Marion, in the Ohio & Penn sylvania. circuit. At the close of the season he was swapped to Cleveland, and the Maps turned him over to Nashville, in the Southern League. The next season he. started in a, Memphis uniform, but the Tennesse metropolis lost his services when a Brooklyn scout saw him in action. At Memphis Dau-

ELI TRACK TEAM MAY BEAT HARVARD


 New Haven, May 13-Ya1e's track team was marshaled yesterday for the last time before it's meet with liar ward in Cambridge next Saturday and the material was looked over as a final step in the campaign. The out look was pronounced excellent for Winning the dual meet. While the track management realizes that over confidence is to be guarded against, it believes that the form shown by the Yale competitors, should assure victory.
 The meeting will be the twenty third between Yale and Harvard and the Crimson now leads with two more victories than Yale. having twelve to Yale's ten. This season ' ale, which won both the freshman and the var sity meets last season. is stronger than before, while Harvard is clearly weaker, as the clean-cut victory of Cornell over the Crimson last Satur- day indicates. Yale is now hopeful to some degree of taking the intercol- legiates, although such a prospect has not been cherished here in years.

PLAYERS DEMAND MORNING PRACTICE
 WHILE ON ROAD

Members of the Baseball Players fraternity are preparing a novel pc fition which President Fultz will be asked to file with the National com mission According to custom,y a visiting team is not permitted to in dulze in morning practice.s The home cffv reserves the exclusive right to u<se the grounds before noon, so that the visiting team must remain idle at the hotel until the ball park is reach ed shortly before o'clock
 The players, who are handicapped in this way, declare that such meth nesz are both unfair and harmful to them. They seem to tldfnk that the rule is out of date and that in justice to the men who pay salaries teams on the road should receive equal prfvrleges with the clubs at home. As some of the magnates are unable to see the wisdom of this argument. the players who have been discussing these conditions for some time, have decided to act for themselves.

Today in Pugilistic Annals,

1s05-James J. sJenrfes, having de- feated Fitzsimmons Corbett, Sharkey. Ruh1in, 11unroe, and all other good heavyweights. and finding no other worthy antagonist in the field, an nounced his intention of quitting the ring. Jeffries expressed the opinion that his vacated title should go to the winner of the battle between Marvin Hart and Jack Root. to take place in Reno the following July. Hart was the victor. but he soon went down to defeat before Tommy Burns, and the Canadian held the honors against all chalIengers until his defeat by John son in 1908. Jefrries, who had been running a. thirst parlor in. Los Angeles since his retirement, then decided to "come back and recover the title for the white race. with what result the gentle reader wots of.

JOE JEAlNNETT
 SAYS JOHNSON MAY BEAT MORAN


 Joe Jeannette, the co1ored fighter, arrived yesterday from Paris with his wife and child after being abroad seven months during which he said he had boxed six matches.
 .sI won five said Joessan lost one against iBalla the Australian who is some lighter believe me
 What do you think of the chances of Frank Moran against Jack John son ?. he was asked.
 ssWell, I tell you it's just this way If all the stories that are going around about the way he has gone to pieces through drink and other kinds of dis sfpation are true it ought to be easy for Moran to whip him.
 .sBut.' here Jeannette became very impressive in his manner, on the oth- CT hand if them stories ain't true as if he felt sad at the prospects of what would happen to the white hope" if the latter version proved to be correct.
 Jeannette was informed by the re- porters that there was a prospect of Gunboat Smith going abroad to fight the French boxer Carpenter in July and was asked what he thought of the match as to the winner.
 tI think that Carpenter has a good chance,'' said the coIored fighter. ssEIe is a good boxer and has a very good punch can he stand punishment wel1?'s ss.s.sYe es, he is game enough. Tn the match had with him Carpenter stood up, although his face was swollen to an awful size and he could hardly see, but he fought on. I think that he has a good chance to beat Smith,

 It was great batting practice for the Giants, with Jim Thorpe in the role of chief master with the willow.

Dyer, with a single and a triple, and Don1in, with two hits were the other hard .hitters among the Gothamites.
