twenty rounds In this city on July I. under
the auspices OF James Coffroth. Smiths
manager. James Buckley. had planned TO
take the Gunner abroad In the spring. but
the matching of Frank Moran with Jack

Before Buckley would agree to the bout
with Willard. however. the latter's mentor,
Tom Jones. agreed to pay $1,000

Jones, therefore. will gamble with Coffroth
on the gross receipts. which they believe
will amount to a large sum. Last year
Smith got hairline decision over
willard In twenty rounds here.
Willie Ritchie has made another match
with Harlem Tommy Murphy
Tonight Richie decided he couldn't

a. A. Y. as represented by Its president
Alfred ]. Lii This refers to the situation
OF preparation for the olympic games Of
1915. The Information has been received
by cable that the German Imperial Par

preparation OF $50 900 toward the games
and also that the Duke OF westminster's
committee In England has refused to re-
ceive further funds.
No sooner had these announcements
been made than President Lii got busy
by beginning the campaign for the funds
necessary to send representative team to

instructed Secretary James f. sullivan to

Mr.. Peters continues: II feel 1t my

with the Board of Tax Commissioners
and had the assessment on the city house
reduced by $4,000. thus saving the club
about 1920 a year.

Three Are Even -.

Jack Britton of Chicago outpointed
Mike Glover OF Boston last night In "A
ten round bout at the National sporting
Club. Britton was more aggressive than
the Boston man throughout He had
shade the better of every round but the
third. eighth and ninth, which were even.
In the first round there was little but
sidestepping and ducking by either
fighter. Glover landed u right swing to
the head In the second. but was unable to
find resting place for "A number of left
and right uppercuts. A few light ones
were landed by both fighters In the third.
During the fourth, nth. sixth and seventh
the Chicagoan put on full speed ana
landed often. He forced Glover against
the ropes and hit him on the head ana
body frequently.
In the eighth and ninth Glover fought
hard but missed many chances by failing
to follow up. IA fault OF which he was
guilty all through the fight. His efforts
however. were enough to even up these
two sessions. Britton went at his man IN
the final session hammer and tongs and
by his skill increased the slight lead that
he had for the rest of the bout.
In the semi windup six round anatr,
Billy Calvin easily outpointed Billy Lewis.
Calvin had cleverness but lacked power.
Lewis looked like as II he might be able
to hit hard. but ne never had chance
to land any Of the numerous vicious
swings he started,
