YALE WILL PLAY
 NEW HAVEN CLUB
Arrangements A Made For Spring Series Between Eastern
 Leaguers and Ellis.

New Haven. April 1s.-I1ast night Manager Cornell of New Haven made arrangements with Manager Bacon of the Yale varsity club to play a series of two games. Yale and New Haven will meet at Yale field Monday and Tuesday afternoons, the games to start at o'clock.
 Although Yale won two out of the four games played on the Easter trip south, beating Mt.s St. Joseph 12 3 and Catholic University to ?, and lost to Virginia two games, 10 to 4 and 8 to 5, the Yale boys are in good shape owing to the hard work in the warm climate and should give the New Haven team g. hard fight. This will be the first exhibition game of the season for Manager Councils team and it will give him the first real chance to size up his recruits and also get an eye on the veterans of last year.
 Manager ConneIl announced that he expects to work his veterans Jensen and Thomas against Yale in the box and will use Clyde Waters. his vet eran catcher.

Mccoy may prove his champion ship rights, some day. although l doubt it very much, but until he does so he will have no more claim to the honors than any of those have men, toned
 No matter how foxy 8 manager happens to be there are times when he pulls a 'sb1oomer." Jack McGui- gan, who runs things for Leo Houck. took his fighter away out to Califo or mia only to have him stopped by Bill ly Murray, the young Sacramento novice It was Leo's first try at a long match, and McGuigan eagerly accepted the bout with Murray. then unknown outside of California It the derby distance. Everyone knows what happened.
 Jimmy Dime made the same mis- take with George Chip, only in the latter instance the element of luck probably entered into the result. A teriool, Mccoy and Young Joe Chip boxed ten rounds at the same club, and young Chip won the popular de- ois1on. Jack Dougherty asked for a return match, which was granted. However, just about this time George 8 broken hand, was looking for a bout to try out his injured maulie be- fore tack1fng any of the classy men in the division. So 1t was arranged that George would s'sub'' for little brother. Both the club and Mccoy and his manager were more than willing It meant a good house for the promo ters, and it offered Mccoy chance to get more for his end if a loser than he could get for winning over an op- ponent of less renown. Also there was that long chance of putting one across and IeapinE into fame with one swipe. And that's just what happen ed. Mccoy, considered a third rater, landed the lucky punch and down went Chip.
 This is, one of the many reasons why boxing has a, firm grip on the af- fectiops of the sport loving public There is always an element of uncer- tafnty about a boxing match, no mat ter how one-sided it may look on the dopet A clever boxer may be match ed with a fighter of little skill but tremendous punch: the match may look all in the clever one's favor. Still there is always the chance of the sIugger getting a haymaker across and spi11ing the dope
 The soft things are not always as soft as they seem to be. If anyone doubts this statement let him inter view Messrs. McGuigan and Dime on this subject.

With but three dissenting votes the
Legislature OF Mississippi has needed the
demands OF the people of that State in
enacting' into law one of the best and
most progressive banking measures ever
offered before body of Lawmakers.
In its framing many of the important
features of similar laws of other States
were embodied, including the guarantee
OF deposits, which for some time has been
30 satisfactorily in vogue in Kansas, Ne
braska, Oklahoma and Texas. The lat
ter provision, however, does not take ef-
feet until the coming year, time being
given banks to conform to changed con,
ditions.
Louisiana already has upon her statute
books good and solvent laws regarding
banking, but it needs, and must have,
q law guaranteeing deposits. Necessity
demands it, aside from the fact that the
principal is most admirable.
Then, too, without it Louisiana banks
would be very much at disadvantage
with those of Mississippi and Texas offer
