BOTH FIGHTERS READY.
Joe Shugrue Meets Champion Welsh at Madison Square Garden Tonight.

There is a general interest among boxing deVotees in the bout at Madison Square Garden tonight, which will bring together Freddie Welsh, the lightweight champion of the world, and Joe Shugrue, who stands at the fore front of the aspirants for the title This will be the second meeting of the two men in the ring and should prove an even greater attraction than their first battle in the Garden. That proved to be q victory on points for the Jersey boxer and Welsh showed in form that was far from what should have marked the work of a champion. In a certain sense. however, the match was unsat- isfactory.
 In a bout several days before the event with Shugrue, Welsh was report ed as having hurt his right hand and the certainty of this seemed to be borne out when he boxed Shugrue. He kept his right idle for most of the time, and when he did land with it did not appear to put much force behind the thrust. There was no question that Shugrue outboxed the champion and that he showed an ability that the injury to Welsh, however, left a doubt in the minds of the big gather ing in the Garden as to which one was really the better if both were in the pink of condition.
 There is every indication that that doubt will be dispelled in the bout to- night. The reports from both men are that they have been training hard and are in the best of condition to put up a fast encounter. There is one point that must be remembered, and that is that Shugrue is a boxer who is inn proving with every battle and that Welsh has reached the top of his form. Hence Shugrue will be a harder man for the Britain to beat than was the case in the Garden bout. For all that Welsh will be in condition to give him a hard battle, and if anything he still has a shade on the boxing technique. Shugrue may be confident in the knowledge of his past victory, and no doubt it will stand him in well: but if he goes into the ring with the idea that he understands Welsh's style of boxing he may be a greatly surprised boy. Welsh is a versatile boxer as has been evidenced on many occasions. He never boxes a man twice in the same way, and the generalship which he may employ tonight may be some thing that will cause beWilderment to the Jersey lightweight. Shugrue, on the other hand, will be more of an open book to the Briton.
 On the last occasion Shugrue forced the match from the first round. He will probably employ the same tactics in this second encounter. He has an eye on the lightweight championship and knows that for the present his only way of winning it is to put Welsh out within the ten round limit. That will be an incentive for him to put forth a determined effort, for the gain meas ures far more than he can possibly lose Welsh will undoubtedly be more careful and not take the chances that he did against Willie Beecher when the latter substituted for Charley White.

HOSPITALS AND BELGIAN
 REFUGEES AT PAU
Described in Letter Received from France by Mrs. Edward Johnson.

Some brief but interesting glimpses of life in France during the present war time are given in a letter re- ceived by Mrs. Edward Johnson from close friend i'll Pau, where Mrs Johnson, with her mother, Mrs. Isabel la Thomas and her son, Frank Ed ward Johnson, were when the war broke out The letter is postnlarked Pau, Bass-Pyrenees, and was received here during the past week:
 A few extracts follow:
 We are having such a busy time that there never seems to be a free half hour for correspondence. Miss Leadbetter has most kindly sent us a huge supply of most beautiful Scotch wool for knitting and we know so many of the men who are going to the front now. A good many of them are Workmen of ours and they are so glad of helmet and a pair of socks and then they go and tell others so that We are overwhelmed with requests and have to knit for dear life to keep up with them at all. The helmets are nice and warm and we knit on a good long piece, back and front, to protect the chest ana between the shoulders, and we make nice long-legged socks, like English ones. Our poor little Jean Gan employe) has never been heard of since he left in August. His mother hO was never mentioned among the killed. But there was a fearful num- Der who lost their lives in those first days. Now it seems to be going bet ter
 There are a good many hospitals in Paul The Ulster contingent of doc tors and nurses have a very nice one in a big villa on the Tarbes road. I went there yesterday for a fete given for the wounded. They had a fine time and seemed to enjoy it like boys. There were presents and sweets for each and huge crackers which had whole paper costumes of very brilliant colors in them, and there was a good deal of fun dressing up the invalids who could stand.
 Then there was quite a nice little concert, patriotic songs and recita- tions The French soldiers have been learning "Tipperary' and joined in the chorus
 Besides the Irish hospital. there is a beauty in the Palais D'Hiver, where all the American contingent of doc tors and nurses from Baltimore are. Also Mrs. Ridgway and Miss Curtiss have hospitals in their villas. Only St. Andrews church and the Scotch church are open so far and we have quite good congregations. The doctors and nurses swell us up a. bit. There are 1, 300 Belgian refugees in Pau. some of them quite destitute, but people are very kind to them.

Split Season Killed.

President O'Rourt1e has decided that the failure of the New England league to adopt the split season schedule may make it impossible for the Eastern association to favor it. He wrote to President Murnane of the New Eng land circuit previous to the meeting of that circuit and informed Tim that the Eastern was considering the split season project. The New Englanders did not appear to like this idea. which many baseball men regard is pro- gresSive move.
 In case the Eastern should adopt the split season 1t would make complf- cations regarding the post season se- Ties with the New England pennant winner. The two leagues close their season on the same day and are then supposed according to their signed agreement, to start their series be- tween the flag winners
 But of the Eastern divided it's sea- son in two parts it would be necessary in case two different clubs finished first in each heat to have g, series between the winners to decide the league title. This would make the season q. week or ten days longer than the New Eng land

thing will be to get him accustomed to the altitude which will not take long. He is in good physical condition, 1 am told, and will be ready for the fight on time
 Curley cabled Johnson Saturday to get ready to come to Juarez in a few days by way of Tampico. General Villa says he will meet you there as serted Curley in the cablegram. Curley has been told by representatives of General Villa that he need not worry in the least about Johnson, as Villa means to take Tampico in ample time for Johnson to land there and come to Juarez through Villa territory The fight is one day less than a month off but Curley evidences no uneasiness about Johnson not being here. He says he believes General Villa win keep his word.
 One of Villas officers said last night: '1t is now a matter of Veracity be- tween General Villa and Carranza The latter has said that Johnson cannot reach Juarez without coming through the United States. General Villa has said that he would bring him in through q Mexican port. General Villa usually keeps his word and he will this time"
 Curley laughed at the story that Johnson was to enter Juarez through the United States disguised as a Pull man porter. This big smoke couldn't get ten feet into the United States without being recognized said Cur officers are watching for him every where. l believe that General Car ranza would let him come through a Carranza port if that is necessary. Some influential Americans are work ing on him now to get his consent

WILL NOT CHANGE DISTANCE.
Sentiment lnsures Four Mile New London Race-camp Against Hen ley Idea Here.

Walter Camp considers that it is un- likely that Hale and Harvard will re- duce the distance of their varsity race at New London. It has, he says, been rowed for many years. and now there is a set of statistics for the event which forms an interesting bases of comparison, and a shortening of the distance would upset all of this, with the result that something in the tra- ditional sentiment of the regatta would be lost, and such a change would never meet with the approval of either grad uates or undergraduates His own ob- servation. he says. has never led him to the belief that there was any injury in the present distance. The recent proposal, which has been vouched for by many from various colleges, of aping the English Henley regatta, he considers, is absolutely without a place here, for many years anyway.
 In speaking of this latter subject he said: Those who would inaugura.te such a. plan in this country cannot be familiar with the conditions of the Henley regatta. In the first place we have no course that would at all com pare with Henley and the entire at mosphere of that event would be lack ing. I was at the regatta in England last year. and while stopping in Lon don could run out to the course, see the races I wanted to and return later for the trip to and fro takes only about an hour- Where in this country could a course be found which would answe in such a. respect? It is this easy accessibility which is a striking fea- ture of the English Henley.
 Then, as to the course itself. there is no opportunity for duplication The Henley course is never affected seri- ously by what we would term unfayor- able weather conditions. Nearly all of the time it is a calm stretch of water, and even when there is a wind, it raises but @ little ripple on the sur face, which we would call absolutely nothing as compared with the condi- tions under which some of the races in this country are rowed. And we could not reproduce the picture the beauty of that Henley course, with it's many attractive boat clubs. no matter how much we tried. Those who go to Henley are content to take up a place somewhere along the course and view the races from there. I don't think that would be a satisfactory method on this side We want the observa- tion trains, so that we may keep right up with the crews and see the event from start to finish. Then, too, a week of rowing would hardly find favor in the colleges.
 Rowing in the universities. I think. is continually improving, and we will hardly adopt an innovation such as copying Henley for a long time, at any rate. Perhaps there are not so many colleges competing as years ago, but certainly there are more men taking part in the sport

AT THE AUDITORIUM
Vaudeville and Motion Pictures

tduOeNiilS anu mOIiOn FlCtufSS-
 The management of the Auditorium theatre have secured the Bedore Mus ical company which appeared here re- gently for a return engagement this week and on Monday they pre- sented the Battle of Almost. an act sparkling with genuine humor and running for one hour and a quarter. Tommy Levene who made such a hit with his comedy acting when the company was here last kept up his reputation as a funmaker and kept the audiences conVulsed with laughter. The scene was laid in camp near a battlefield and the boom of big guns combined with the rapid gaIloping of the war steeds added a realistic touch to the production. Cassie French, the dainty little actress, carried out the part of the leading lady admirably and Miss Mcdonald. the Victor song bird, who has been added to the cast since the show was in Norwich last was heard in number of pretty song numbers which was augmented by a chorus of pretty girls.
 On Wednesday there will be com plete change in the show.
 The feature photoplay was The Heart of Magdalen in two reels with Edna NIaison. The others were Sissy Dobbins, Oil AIaSnate and a comedy film, the Rural Demons, featuring Billie Ritchie.

By virtue Of the fact that it did not play 8 game. Princeton retained it's lead in the intercollegiate basketball league last week. but Cornell by de- feating Pennsylvania moved perilous- " close to the Tigers and if the Ith- acans should be fortunate enough to trounce the PrincetonianS when they meet for the first time Friday of this week, Cornell will gain undisputed possession of the lead.
 Columbia defeated Dartmouth in the only other game played during the week, but as neither team is looked upon with favor, the victory of the Blue and White will probably not have much bearing on the league race, especially for first place. Columbia meets its test of fire this week when 1t opposes both Yale and Pennsylvania. The New York five journeys to New Haven tonight for it's clash with the Blue and meets Pennsylvania on its home floor on Friday. Success in both games will put Columbia in the run ming, but it's play against Dartmouth last week was not of sufficiently high calibre to warrant hopes for victory. The last games of the week will be the Yale-Dartmouth match at Hanover on Saturday.
 GIcNichol of PennsyIv ania retains his position at the top of the column of individual scorers. He is the most deadly thrower from the foul line the league has ever seen. Brown of Cor nell is second with 16 field goals to his credit. McNichofs total is TO points and Browns 66. These two are thirty points or more ahead of the field and have the race to themselves. Wallace of Pennsylvania has the unenviable record of having had more points scored against him than any other player

MAKING KICK OVER
 SHORE LINE TRAINS
New Haven Paper Voices the Protest
 Over Present Accommodations.

The long expected protest against train service to Shore Line points along the New Haven road has developed and there is every indication that rail road officials will make changes that will give people to the east a chance to get in and out of their towns at a convenient hour, says the New Haven TimeS-Leader.
 Under the schedule that has been in effect on the Shore Line for some time it is impossible to reach New Haven from Westerly or New London before 10.3o and that train is all too fre- quently late. and the New York train connecting doesn't wait. A train has left Saybrook Junction at 6.2o a. n., req ching here at 40. But Saybrook is nearly IS miles west of New Lon don. There really is no service from New London to New York between 315 in the morning and S.56. Going eastward the person who fails to get the 4.o+ D. m. train cannot get to New London till S.54 D. m. There are two accommodation trains east bound daily on the Shore Line. and only one west bound.
 One relief that the railroad may grant to eastern Connecticut people is to have the train leaving Saybrook at 6.25 6. ul leave New London at 5.55. 4 corresponding east bound train would also be put on. Then New Lon don people will get to New York at 9.44.
 When New Londoners objected to the idea. of an extremely early morn ing train, A. B. Smith, general passen- ger agent suggested that travellers start for New York the night before. He says that is what Springfield peo- pie do.

Step Taken in Right Direction.

Of chief interest to the public in connection with the annual meeting of the football rules committee was the fact that the committee went on record as favoring the numbering of players. It recommended that all players should be numbered, but this was not made mandatory. However it shows that the solons of the au- tumnal sport realize that the specta- tors are 8 big part of football and that their interests should be looked after as well as those of the players.
 Whether the colleges and 1niversi- ties which have heretofore turned deaf ear toward the importunities of their football cohorts, will send their ways and improve the game and help in the work of increasing interest in football is something that the future alone can decide. There is no way that the football rules committee could enforce such a rule. but the fact that it has recommended it is expected to carry a great deal of weight.
