See Inconsistency.
Sc You are disloyal to your city
if you support Mr.. L. H. Nord for
SENATOR says Mr. Wilson, but he does
not accuse himself for being dis
loyal by opposing home man, Judge
l.. G. Pendergast, for a member of the
house. Mr.. Pendergast's friends can
not help but see the inconsistency in
this and are not at all backward
about expressing themselves.
'In his attempt to discredit Mr.
Nord he brings into play some COM
ments Mr.. Nord might have made
and elabOrates on the point, endeav-
oring to show Mr.. Nord as a Backus
tool If Mr.. Wilson did write a let
ter to Mr.. Backus intimating any
thing at all, and Mr.. Backus did re-
ply to that letter stating that he
would support a home man, why
should Wilson come out in his paper
accusing Mr.. Nord as Backus tool
One could hardly blame Mr.. Backus
for making the Wilson letter public
after such a statement. I expected
to read the letter in the Sentinel this
week, but was extremely disappoint-
ed as were many others. If such
letter exists the public oughtto know
it's contents.

upon first hand information I
have learned that should the voters
of this district send Wilson to the
senate, he would meet with direct
opposition on the floor of that house,
on practically every proposition
which would benefit this district, and
especially an appropriation for the
normal school, Is this an argument
in his favor?

BOXING NOTES.

DR.. Louis Wallach, we'll known to
the patrons of boxing as Leach Cross,
earned $2S,0o0, net, in the ring during
the last ten months. This sum is
$4,000 in excess of the amount that
Willie Ritchie, the lightweight cham
pion, earned. These figures were di-
vulged by the recent certificates filed
with the United States Internal Reve-
nue. Bureau by both boxers. Accord
ing to the certificates Cross will be
forced to pay tax on $2S,000. while
Ritchie will pay on $4,000.
Tom O'Rourke, manager of the Ma
tional Sporting Club, New York City,
declared off the bouts scheduled to be
held at the club Monday night and
refunded the money paid for the tick
cts by the fans who had braved the
storm. ORourke declared the bouts
off because Jack Geyer, who was
matched to box Porky Flynn, was
snowbound somewhere in Pennsylva-
mia. The railroad officials were un-
able to locate the train as all tele-
graph wires between here and Phfla-
delphia are on the ground. JACK Cur
phey who was matched with George
Rodel in the semi final, reported i'll with
the grip. With two of the four COM
petitors i'll or missing, O'Rourke wiped
the programme out.
Dave Kurtz of Newark, n. j.. and
Patsy DeLucea OF Boston are to ap-
pear in the main bout in the next
show in Lewiston Friday evening, un-
der the management of the Pine Tree

and considering the rate both have
been travelling at, lately, knockout
viii not he surprising. In the semi
| final. Young Clancy and Cy Goodwin
will clash. Goodwin knocked out Kid
Dennis at Lewiston, under the guise
of Clancy, and since both boys have
made good showing at Augusta, loc-
| al fans are anxious to see them work
| together Young Colin of Lewiston
| and Young Butler of Bath will go six
rounds, as will Young st. Hilaire and
Young War Eagle, both of Lewiston.
Word was received in New York
from Los Angeles Monday night that
Joe Rivers and Freddie Welsh have
been matched to box twenty rounds at
| Tom McCarey's arena on March II,
The weight agreed upon was 134
pounds, ringside. Welsh held out for
1856 pounds two hours before the
match, but rather than lose chance
which may lead to a battle for the
championship with Willie Richie. he
agreed to forfeit the pound of flesh
Joe Chip, brother of George Chip,
made good the reports of his ability
by outpointing AL Mccoy at the Broad
way Sporting Club. New York last
Saturday night. He was fast and
willing at all times, and kept Mccoy
moving at top speed throughout. The
latter, boxer of fair ability. and
fighting one of his best battles, held
his own for the most part, but was
not quite up SO standard. The two
have been rematched to box at the

Koji Yamada, George Slosson, George

With spikes a-ripping up the town,

The House of Lords had put its mace
Conveniently behind first base.

Was just politely bland.

And simply made the ozone sing,
They cried. in echo of their King,

O universal language, which
Makes any foreign tongue more rlch.

A Few Base Hits

as l can learn good, sound baseball
men are at the helm in each of the six
cities, and the thing looks like a go

trying to hamper the new league py

of the Colonial League cities, and were
TO apply for territorial rights, Mr.. Muir

that's all there was to it.

A. A. u. Plans to
Raise a $l0O, 900
Olympic Fund.

Plans for the collection of big Am
ateur Athletic Union fund for the
American Olympic team of 1916 were
outlined Monday at New York at
conference between President Andrew
J. Lill, Jr., and Secretary James E.
Sullivan of the A. A, u. 1t was de-
cided to open the campaign for 1916
funds with a circular letter to each
club the assessment of q given sum
on each and every member of such
club and allied organizations.
The letter will be forwarded to the
secretary Of each club with the re-
quest that each organization fix the
sum which it's members will be re-
uuested to pay toward the support of
the athletes who will represent this
nation at Berlin two years hence.
1t is the idea of the A. A. u. off,
cials to leave the amount to the dis
erection of each club in order that the
voluntary tax may be graded in ac-
cordance with the financial standing
of the club and it's members. Individu-
al subscriptions ranging from ten
cents to So will cover the probable
range, although there is no minimum
or maximum fixed.
Neither will these payments inter-
fere with the funds subscribed from
the A. A. L, treasury or the clubs
holding membership in the organiza-
ton. All these points are clearly eX-
planned in the letter which President
Lii has already drafted and will for
ward to the five clubs and allied
bodies of the A. A. u. within the next
few days.
The Amateur Athletic Unien OFF,
cials hope to collect close to 100000
from within their ranks during the
next eighteen months by means of a
carefully planned and persistent sub
scription campaign. The cooperation
of other organizations such as the
public schools athletic leagues, recre-
alton and playground associations will
be enlisted.
It is hoped that the children enrolled
in these organizations throughout the
country can be enlisted to contribute
one cent each with the idea of cncour-
aging a proprietary interest in the
team and in its efforts to win the
worlds track and field championship
in Berlin.

NEW YORK STICK MARKET.
Features of tho Days Dealing in All
the Leading Stocks.

New York. March Am increased de-
mand for stocks today revealed the scan
tiness of the floating supply, and al
though buying was not heavy an advance
of fair pI oportions was a chieved. Com
mission house business was on a larger
scale and execution of moderate
amount of purchasing orders at the out
set brought quick response from the
market. Traders who had taken a bear
ish position recently attempted to cover
and their bidding forced up prices fur
ther, Trading grew quieter after the first
hour but prices were held up throughout
the day with a degree of firmness which
showed the sustaining value of the short
interest.
Despite the lack of outside interest in
the market, investment brokers said that
purchasing of dividend paying stocks had
been going on steadily, and the amount
of stocks which have found their way
into the hands of investors has had an
appreciable egect upon the floating sup
ply.
The Steel stocks were especially strong.
Absorption of these stocks was stimulat-

that Harry Vernon, who pitched such

years ago, has signed with the Brook

got all tangled up one day In that
technical situation confronting pitch
er when the bases are filed and Hans

BASEBALL NOTES.

Charley Ham is credited in the New
York papers with being captain of the
Harvard nine in 1912. On the contrary,
Bob Potter was captain that year,
and Ham lever was captip.
Christy Mathewson didn't even make
a grandstand play out of his Federal
League offer.
Cable dispatches from London state
that Englishmen say our baseball is
monotonous. That's what Americans
think of cricket, so the Britons have
nothing on us. But at the same time,
we are willing to acknowledge that
cricket is a great game. 1t will never
suit American taste in popular way
because it lacks the punch" and
thrills of baseball, which appeal to the
American temperament. One advant-
age that cricket has is that a man
can keep on playing it past middle age.
The American when he gives up base
ball, If he desires to keep up exercise,
tries golf. We are not insular in our
viewpoint toward the sports of other
countries. The growth of golf and Soc
Ger in this country absolves us from
any such charge.
Ambrose Kane of Whitman, former
Concord and Brockton outfielder, Sc
lected as playing manager of the Fall
River club in the now Colonial League,
will send a contract to Raj Kelle-
her, Brockton semi-pro outfielder,
who received a tryout with the Brock
ton team last spring. Kane has his
eyes on Eorlire Smith of East Bridge
water, an outfielder. Smith was with
the Brockton club for short time last
season. Delmar Orcutt of Arlington,
former Brown third baseman, and two
years ago with Brantford, will be with
Fall River.
New Bedford Standard-Judging

will be nothing left down east for
