 In order to equalize matters the Intercollegiate A. A. A. A. should lift the ban against freshmen competing in championship contests for the Penn relay meet It is reported already that Cornell University athletic coun- cil has decided to lift the ban against freshmen for this race, and is doing so solely because of the knowledge that Oxford is going to use at least one first year student.

 Of course the Giants did not show Tan any speciaI consideration when they Iearped what his recent battle had been. but he gave them a. battle all the way and tanned some of their best batters.
 Ferdinand Schupp, the rising young southpaw, who rose clear of the earth in recent ninth-inning finish at Gal weston, tanned the Oilers. Sehupp is the first Of McGraw,s furIers asked to go the full route, and he finished as strong as he started.
 Nine of the Oilers succunbed to Schupp s benders and he limited them to five blooms, only one of which was for extra bases.

HOMMEY WINS BOUT
 FROM KNOCKOUT BROWN

Packey Hommey and K. O. Brown.
 two lightweight boxers. had a slug fest for ten rounds in the main event at the Empire A. C., New York, last night At the finish, Hommey had earned the popular decision by a small margin.
 Both boys were only slightly dam aged after their strenuous bout. Brown the one time conqueror of Ad Wolgast, showed that he had gone back fully 50 per cent. in his boxing, and his terrific knockout punch whiAh had
 earned him his prefix of K. O., was missing.
 Young Brown earned the honors over
 Benny Leonard of Harlem in ten fast rounds. Brown proved too aggress- i've for the Harlemfte and carried the fight to his opponent for the entire ten sessions.

have been considered at any time in heir careers as suitable opponents ed the French champion scarcely more than a year ago.
 If it is true, as has been reported. that Carpenter will be forced to quit the ring altogether while. doing time, in the French army, it is indeed un- fortunate. Professional pugilism can i'll afford. particularly at this time, to lose such promising representative as the youthful F'renchman.
 Now that Johnny Coulon, the ban tam champion, has signed to box Kid Williams on June g, it is hoped that the latter's 1oud-mouthed manager will make himself conspicuous by his silence until the match has been de- cided. Of all the pests that the game has known in years this fellow is about the limit. I understand Cou- Ion will insist that Williams man sager make good on that bonus of $1,- 900 he promised for the champion s signature. Serves him right He has been annoying Coulon, and the public as well, with his blatant bel lowing ever since Johnny has been on the sick list There is little doubt that Williams is a great fighter, but admitting all that he will find him. self a, heartily disliked youngster if he doesn't gag this fellow in the fu- ture.
 The boxing commissioners have re- quested the sporting editors ofNlocal and up state newspapers to. disregard telephor1fc and other messages giving the results of bouts, unless sent in by accredited representatives of said sporting editors.
 The. commissioners would not find this necessary if they permitted the referees to render decisions Such decisions would be official and the papers could print the names of the winners and losers without fear of mistake.
