MANY PUGmIsTs HAVE HAD
 MONUMENTS OVER GRAVES

This is JeIn Mace's birthday, and 1t will be nttingfy observed by the friends of the late pug1list by the decoration of the monument which has been erected to his memory in Norwich. Mace, who was champion during the greater part of the period from 1862 to 1872, died in 1910, at the ripe old age of eighty. He fought over 506 battles, losing but twice and that to men he later defeated, and made near ly million dollars during his ring career He died poor, dependent on Ia government pension and the free- will offerings of his many friends, but he was gay as a lark to the end, and could put up a good exhibition of boxing when well past seventy. Tn his youth Jem was a professional fiddler at country fairs, and hissviolin was his lifelong passion.

CHIP IS PUT AWAY
 BY AL M'COY
Unknown New York Fighter Now Claims Middle
 weight Title.

Al Mccoy of East New York, who has been doing most of his fighting at the Brooklyn clubs, knocked out George Chip, the claimant of the mid Frank Klaus, in one minute and twenty seconds of fighting before a big crowd at the Brooklyn Sporting Club in Brooklyn last night. The knockout came suddenly and the crowd could hardly realize what had happened whens the referee tolIed off the ten seconds and assisted the Pittsburgh fighter to his corner
 Mccoy just landed two blows on Chip, but these were enough to send the claimant Of the ttt1s to dReam- land. Up to the time he struck the first blow Mccoy was on the defen- sive. Chip had Mccoy inS g neutral corner and the local fighter worked his way to the center of the ring. Chip landed a light right to, the stomach, then Mccoy landed a right to the body. and like a flash whipped over a terrific left to the Jaw. Chip staggered for moment and then dropped to the floor. It was a short and snappy blow and carried plenty of force behind it.
 Chip laid prone on his back and the referee began to tell off the sec onds. At the count of three the Pitts burgh fighter made an effort to rise- He managed to raise his head and stayed in that position until the referee counted ten- He was then as- sisted to his corner, while the crowd cheered and made a. rush for Mccoy.
 Before the fight began nearly every one expected a victory for Chip, and many of McCoy's most ardent ad- rnirers were under the impression that the East New York lad would be lucky to stay the limit with the Pittsburgh fighter.
 But Mccoy showed no effects of the hgitson, Friday night. and he can now lay claim to the mtddleweisht title.

There have been organizations of all kinds; ;*ti1at is, in the sporting hne,, wherein promoters and others have. taken the leading part, but now there is a movement on foot to start an or ganization for the purpose aof protect ing and promoting legitimate sports and to put the high pedal upon s1Hegf-' timate ones. It is intended to have the sporting editors of the various pa pers in the east and west in this or ganization. Jay Davidson, one of the we1l-known. sporting writers of Los Angeles, Cal, has interested himself, in this movement and he is supported by other sporting writers of the coast cities His idea is to form a nation al body to exercise a general super vision over sports, especially in box ing. wrestling and racing.

BROOKLYN WON'T
 GIVE UP SEATON
Turns Down Offer of Hendrix For Former Philadelphia
 Pitcher.

Walter Ward. Treasurer of the Brooklyn Federal League Club, left yesterday for New Orleans, where he will join Manager Bill Bradley, and together they will have a conference with Joe Tinker about the Seaton case. Seaton, who has signed with the Brooklyn team and accepted $5,- 900 advance money. refused tos play with Brooklyn, and wants to play with Chicago.
 President Weeghnan of Chicago and Manager Joe Tinker are back ing Seaton,s and are very anxious to have the Brooklyn club relinquish their claim on the player. Yesterday, President Weeghman offered Pitcher Claude Hendrix for Seaton- Hendrix is the best pitcher on the Chicago club, and it was only after long con sfderation that Tinker consented to the offer.
 : Weeghman's overtures. however, will be turned down by the Brooklyn club. according to what Vice-Presi- dent George Ward said last night. Mr. Ward said that seaton was their property and they would insist on him reporting to-the Brooklyn Feds.

M'FARLAND AND
 GIBBONS AGAIN
Great Boxers May Meet In
 New York Next Month.

There is strong probability that the glove contest between Packey Mo Farland and Mike Gibbons will be held in New York before June. The re-en- trance of Billy Gibson, the former manager of the Garden A. C., into the boxing game at the new Stadium A. c. at St. Nicholas Rink is an encouraging indication that the big bout will be staged there. The bout has been the subject of country-wide discussion since last Winter. and the boxers fail ed to agree, on the, financial details of the match when Gibson tried to ar range it at Madison Square; Garden.
 Gfbson's new club. the Stadium A C., will probably receive the sanction of the. Boxing Comnission ir1st the near future, and hesboxing promoter is al ready looking ahead for several big bouts. Gibson and NfeFariand are close friends and if the Chicago boxer consents to box at all it will be- for Gibson. AfcF-arland is now in Kansas City and is in frequent communicable with. the new Stadium's nlanager. Mo Far1and and Gibson have already planned to take trip to Europe in June. so it is very likely that the bout will be decided before that time.

NICK YOUNG FOR
 LOWER SALARIES
Old National League Heads
 Views on Baseball War.

Washington, April 7.-Nicholas E. Young, the grand old man of the great national pastime, and better known as .sUncle Nick to the fol- lowers of the sport in general and to his friends in particular, is rather un- communicative in his views regarding the chances of the Federals carving themselves a place in the realm of major league baseball
 MT. Young whose home is in Wash ington, and who, for IS years, was president of the National League, the longest tenure in that office by one man, has a recollection that covers pretty lengthy period of time, and it takes a comparatively small leap for him to get back to 1901, when the American broke up the exc1u- siveness of the parent organization.
 Baseball has grown so rapidly in popularity since first became inter ested in the game that I don't think it safe to say when and where it will stop making advances" said Young.
 .I doubt very much, whether or not the Federals make good or fail, if more than few of the clubs gain 8 fair return from their outlay this sea- son. Salaries have been boosted to such a high notch that with the pa tronage divided to any extent. some are bound. to feel the drain.
 Take, for instance, the sum of $18,5O0 the Boston Red Sox are said to be paying Iris Speaker. He may be worth this much money if his abil- ity is strictly compared to some of the other players who are wearing big league regaHa, but it certainly is pushing the stipend to mighty near the top-most rung.
 .'I venture to say, that no matter what the outcome of the present wrangle, tangIe, or imbroglfo, or whatever you choose to call 1t, may be, the time is drawing near when maximum salary will be agreed on, and it would not be at all surprising to me if the players themselves would be the first to ask for such ruling.
 'sYou know you can kill the goose that lays the golden egg, and while these baseball wars have always worked to the benefit of the men who play the game, I fear that a reaction is due unless a curb is applied. But anyway, I hope to be able to be on hand when the Nationals and Red Sox clash in the opening game of the sea- son here on April 22.''
