-HE basketball championship IS
now held by the Y. NJ. C. A. team,
\ as a result of a victory over High
school at the "Y' gymnasium on Sat
urday night, the final score being 20 to
is. The game, which was one of the
hardest fought contests Of the season,
was played before a crowd which over
flowed the galleries and filled all avail
able space in the big gymnasium
School Of mines and Cactus club met in
the first game of the evening, but the
fans were out to see the championship
settled and did not enthuse over the
other contest. which was won by the
the first time the mining students were
able to break into the win column dur
ing the league season.
An analysis of the score Of the big
game shows the High practically pre-
scented the victory to the "Y ," four of
the latter's points being scored on foul
baskets In all. seven fouls were called
on the High school and only two on the
Y. NJ. C. A. The many penalties against
the High school can be attributed to
the fact that the guards were taking nc
chances on the Y. NJ. c. A. forwards
getting within shooting distance, and
went rather farther on several OCcas-
ions. than the rules permit. Their
checking was hard and occasionally the
boys checked too hard and we're caught
at It.
Team PIay IN Evidence.
At that the students appeared to
have the game sailed away until the
second period was about half over Y
NJ c. A. then began to get away from
their checks and their team play came
into evidence. Prior TO that time, the
checking on both sides had been too
close to permit either team to work
any very brilliant plays. The High
school boys were caught mapping sew.
crsl times on throwins, failing to cover
their checks and enabling the "Y" to
get by with some long passes into dam
gerous territory. This weakness in
covering checks on the THROWN was
very noticeable for about half the sec
ond period. but il was enough for the
opposing team TO overtake the students
and finally to get I'm front.

Jew YORK, March, This story
nj is written with the assumption
n that meantime nothing crops up
to hinder Jack Johnson and Jess VIII
lard from engaging in their proposed
45-round battle for the worlds heavy
weight championship at Juarez. Should
unforeseen circumstances prevent the
staging of the titUlar contest. IL would
be transferred to Havana, where the
Cubans are at present being initiated
into the vagaries OF the ring game
Assuming once more than Johnson
and Willard are permitted TO go
through with their maneuers at Jua-
rez it behOOves us to place before the
boxing jury convincing evidence to
show that Jess Willard has an even
chance of defeating Jack johnson
thereby regaining for the Caucasian
race the worlds heavyweight crown.
Casual followers Of matters pugilis-
tic have scoffed at Big Jess ability
to cope with the mighty Senegambian-
We herewith produce some facts that
seem to give the giant Kansas COW
Puncher at least an even chance with
the champion
ViIIard,s Size Counts.
The more salient facts are these;
Willard is ten years younger and is
generally accredited with being able
to believer a more pow srful blow than
Johnson. Also, Jess weighs 20 pounds
mere than the black, but whether this
viii be an advantage or a detriment
remains to be seen.
Then. again, Willard towers some
thing like ) 81 inches above Johnson,
who is no lilliputian, and the white boy
has the enormous reach Of SO u
inches.
DelvinC still farther into the dope"
Willard has never been knocked out
OF even knocked down during a ring
encounter, while Johnson has sensed a
knockout. And anyone who has ever
caved in under a sleep-inducinE wallOp
will tell that he never Overcomes the
apprehension of suffering another
knockout.
Comparison OF Victories.
While the class of opposition Willard
has confronted during his few years in
nevertheless a noteworthy fact that he
knocked out q Of his last SO Oppon-
ents. Johnson on the other hand. has
put away only Is adversaries in his
IS years in the boxing game.
It is also a fact that Willard does
not know his own strength He has
killed one man with a punch, Bull"
Young being the unfortunate victim Of
Wizards death dealing right upper
cut the blow with which Jess hopes
to beat Johnson.
What Willard Lacks.
Willard has every natural advantage,
but is sadly lacking in three essentials
experience, EeneralshiB and skill
And these are the factors that may
cost him the fight.

WINS GRAND RIX
Resta Leads by Three Laps
at Finish of Slow Auto
y Race at Big Fair.

San Francisco, Cal, March Id. Resta,
an Italian automobile race driver. en-
gagged Saturday in his first American
speed struggle and won the Grand Prix
in seven hours, seven minutes and 81 IL
seconds. He was three laps in the lead.

Louis Disbrow, No. y. fifth. time
7:34:51 Resta's share in the prize was
$4,000 The other drivers shared $4,000.
Rain Makes Track Dangerous.
Rain. which began falling soon after
the race started, made the track slip
perry, and forced 4 slow pace. Resta' S
average was only 81 II miles an hour
for the distance. which was a fraction
over 400 miles.
Earl Cooper was forced out in the
second lap by a broken connecting rod.
Oldfield was eliminated about the mid
die of the. race by engine trouble. Ed
die Pullen, winner OF last years race,
and Ralph De Palma, were forced out
long before the close.
Drivers Take Chances.
Those who stayed in the race ap-
peared to drive With reckless disregard
for their lives. The veterans who with
drew from the slippery course eX-
pressed amazemcnt that there were no
fatal accidents.
De Palma drew up in front of the
grand stand at 500 o'clock and an
nOunCed he had quit the race. He said
there was nothing wrong with his car,
but that it was foolish TO continue in
the face Of such great danger. Resta
led most of the time after the 18th lap.
There were 80 entries originally, but
several withdrew before the race
started.

CHARLES WEBER, catcher of
the University Of Michigan nine,
showed the right spirit when he an
nOunced, of his own accord, that he
had played Summer baseball7 and
had received pay for it. He asks that
the university take a stand on this
matter and permit students who play
baseball for money during the sum-
mer holidays to keep their amateur
standing in college sports. Practic-
ally ali the members of the Michi-
gan athletic board were in accord
with Webber's proposition but an
nounced that "they felt Michigan
was not in = position to take the
lead in abolishing the rule forbid
ding summer baseball" Surely if a
big university cannot take the lead,
a small one can hardly be expected
to. A great many university stud
ents are selfsupporting and have to
take some employment during the
summer holidays. Many of them
can make enough in playing base
ball during their vacation to carry
them through the following school
year There is no faint in pro
fessional baseball-prOviding always
that it is openly professional and not
amateur" with the pay slipped out
on the quiet-and the only real OBJ
stacle to the universities permitting
athletes to maintain amateur stand
ing in college sports, after playing
summer ball, is because some sons
Of rich men object to "associating
with men who have played baseball
Or a living" Such is life.

pEAnv EoR NEW JUMP.

Civilization in Russia has advanced
in much the same manner that the
Russian army is retreating- great dis
tances at one jump. Peter, the Great,
started reforming his mobiles, not by
trimming their huge boards but by
shaving them off. The nation passed
from the influence Of vodka in a day
as the result of an imperial edict.
Students of Russia now express the
belief that another of these spasmodic
advances is due. They base this be-
lief on the interest taken by the COM
mon people-the peasants-in the war
and everything pertaining to 1t. They
hear that at every wayside station in
Russia at which train stops, peasants
of both sexes besiege the station,
stretching out their hands to the pas
sengers and crying, "Give us paper"
The desire to read and to learn what
is going on in the world, has become
SO apparent that Estate paper to be
printed and put into the hands of
every one in the nation, Is being adj
.vocated. If this were done, 1t is be-

Review Of Reviews.
IowAs COAL PRODUCTION.

Coal production in Iowa in 1914
showed decrease of one per cent as
compared with 1913, the output in
1914 being 7,451,022 short tons, val.
ued at s13,384,07O, according to fig.
ures just made public by the United
States geological survey. Iowa Is
largely an agricultural state and its
crops were plentiful In 1914 and the
loca, coal mining business was al.
most normal. The smaller demand
for coal In the east caused larger
quantity of coal from West Virginia
and other eastern states to seek mar
kets in the northwest, displacing Iowa
coal. Illinois coal also invaded the
local Iowa market, both in the home
state and in Missouri, Kansas and Ne
braska, resulting in the slight decline
of Iowa's production.
The number of men employed In
the coal mines of Iowa increased from
1871 In 1913 to 16,057 In 1914, and
the average number of working days
increased from 1876 to 204.
Iowa is no exception to the states
of the interior province in which
powder mining by shooting from the
solid Is practiced to reprehensible
degree. and the record in that respect
in 1914 is worse than in either 1918
or 1912. The quantity Of coal shot
off the solid in 1914 was 5,b45,S42
tons. or 74.4 per cent Of the total; in
1913 it was 1913 per cent and in 1912
90 per cent
