Schulman's appeal for loyalty and
faith in President Wilson and his pol
icies In the present crisis. DR.. Schulz
man pointed out to the sailors that 1t
was privilege to serve the American
flag in this time of war and that Amer
lea was safe as long as il had at its
helm q man Of the sterling worth OF
the President.
"Our flag symbolizes the highest as
1irations and noblest ideals Of men,
said Dr. Schulman. at can be said
that American democracy, for which
the flag stands, is the greatest hope on
earth to-day for mankind. Our coun-
try is great because it symbolizes hu-
manitv as a union OF races"
Rabbi Schulman praised President
Wilson's statement that there could be

Fleet His Answer to Critics.
"The navy and its head have been
the target Of much criticism OF late,
some from those honest in their be-
liefs but sadly ignorant or misln-
formed, and much from purely parti-
san and political sources which had no
interest in facts whatever. AS for such
criticisms as concerned myself, l have
kent silent. Time must Justify or time
condemn. The splendid condition OF
the ships for which you are respon-
sible. the splendid discipline of the
crews which you have established, make
to-day a far better answer than any
thing I could have been able to say.
"A few days ago a new organization,
hearing the name of the National Sc
curity League, issued an open letter
announcing the result Of investiga-
tons" and published to the world this
statement:
Investigation discloses. it is as
serted. that the navy IS neither ade-
ouate nor prepared for war; that II Is
inadequateiy manned, is short OF am
munition and has no organized reserve
of trained men, that the submarine
fotilla exists chiefly on paper; that
fast scout cruisers, battle cruisers,
aeroplanes, mine layers, supply SHIPS
and transports are lacking. and that
target practice has been neglected or
altogether omitted
Secretary Proud OF Ships.
ar the gentlemen who signed the
above libel of the navy had known
the real truth, their signatures would
never have been appended. II they
had not been misled and misinformed
they would have written instead:
Investigation discloses that the
navy is efficient and prepared for war,
hat our ships are we'll manned; that
the supply OF munitions is vastly larger
thar ever before. and the capacity OF
our plants has been practically
doubled; that the last Congress author
lied a naval reserve which is in proc
ess of organization; that we have sew
! cnty-four submarines authorized, built
or building which are the equal OF
those of any other country; that
we recognize the need for more
fast light cruisers; that we have.
lately ordered eight aeroplanes and
a dirigible out of a million dollars
specially appropriated by the last Com
gress for aviation; that within the last
two years the navy's mine equipment
/ has been more than doubled: that we
are adding yearly TO our force Of auxll'
Iaries; while more time has been de-
voted this year TO target practice and
mrneuvres than in many years past.

TO-DAY IN PUGILISTIC ANNALS.

1S1S-Tom Spring defeated Ned Ned Painter in 31 rounds at Mickle- han Downs, Eng. Spring, afterward champion, was then at the beginning of his career as a fighter, while Pain ter was a veteran and the popular favorite. The meeting between the pair was the result of a fight be- tween a young brother of Spring and kid nephew of Painter. The lads, who were sailors, were settling their differences with their fists, and Spring's brother was getting the best of 1t when Ned Painter interfered This aroused Tom Springs fighting spirit and he wanted to fight Painter then and there, but was induced to put it off a week or so, when he could make some money out of the rookus. Few thought Spring would stand a chance against the experienced Ned Painter, but Tom was the victor. Later the same year they fought again, and this time Painter turned the tables. Ned quit the ring inn mediately after the victory, and Spring soon afterwards became the recognized champion.

ANDREWS ANXIOUS >> TO MEET TAYLOR
Challenges Him to a Bout in This City From One to Twenty Rounds
 A Knockout King.
Especial to the HeraldD

New York, April ] 1.-Willic An drews, the New York bantamweight, who is creating quite a stir in the bantam ranks of late, is on the war path and is after a crack at Jimmy Taylor, the boy who made such q hit in New Britain a few weeks ago when he outpointed Young Marine in fifteen-round bout.
 Andrews and his manager. Billy Pepey, are brimful of confidence that Taylor 'would be the easiest kind of picking. Pepey further states that he Is ready to box Andrews against Fay Tor in New Britain at any distance from one to twenty rounds.
 Regarding Andrews it must be said that he is one clever performer with a knockout punch in either mitt The best proof of Andrews wallop can be noticed in his record Andrews has over twenty-five knockouts.
 Pepey's protege has defeated every bantam of note with the exception of Champion Kid Williams who re- fused to meet him on numerous oc- oasions. Andrews last fight was with Eddie O'Keefe, the crack Phil adelphfa boy, whom he outslugged ir ten fast rounds at the Long Acre clut few weeks ago. This boy O'keefe is the lad who has conquered the best boys in the country and has the reputation of holding Featherweigh' Champion Johnny Kilbane to a draw

JOHNSON FOLLOWERS
 KEEP COIN IN JEANS
Fear He May Not Go Distance
 With Willard.

Havana, April 1.-While Jess Will lard's popularity is steadily gaining with the Cuban sportsmen who daily throng his conditioning camp there seems to be little betting on his chances. Willard's friends claim that it is because there is no Johnson money in sight. Just why this is 1t is not hard to understand. Johnson's S admirers were they sure of his stay ing powers would make him favorite at prohibitive odds. As is is Johnson rules favorite at to ,.
 Those who have made the rounds of the camps cannot get away from the fact that Willard looks formidable. His hitting has done the trick. All of his sparring partners are battered up so that they were forced to ask for layoff today. This, considering the fact that Willard is always holding back his punches, has caused the Johnson men to sink their bankrolls deeper into their jeans, with the result that the price is more likely to shorten than lengthen.
 Johnson Laughs All Day.
 Johnson doesn't seem to be 8 bit concerned about his portly middle. Jack carries his weight gracefully and he doesn't seem to geet winded even in the hottest camp scrimmages. He has been spending a deal or time in blocking the straight rights that his partners are urged to shoot at him. He laughs his way through each days work and seems to have absolutely no fear of the result.
 Only the management seems to know anything about the advance sale. The reports of great blocks of seats being sold come only through the publicity department of the ven ture. The management claims to have received nearly a hundred cablegrams from the United States in the last two days requesting reservations. A Cuban student body has been reported as having taken a block of 2.0OO seats. All the largest clubs in Havana are down for sections of 200 seats or rrore. According to the promoters Monday will see ont of the greatest fight throngs ever gathered in the his- tory of the game.

WANTS WHITE WINGS.
But Troy First Wants to Know Who
 Owns Them

Manager Lew wachter of the Troy, New York State league cl:.b, has written to President O'Rourke of the Eastern association asking if he can secure Pitcher Jensen, Shortstop Pope and Catcher Jensen, Shortstop know to whom the players belong and is anxious not to get in wrong. George Cameron informed the Troy manager that he would dispose of the players but somebody wiser in baseball lore gave Wachter the tip that the men were the property of the Eastern association.
 President O'Rourke informed Wach- ter that all players not released be- fore the league meeting of March 19 were the leagues property. So the three cannot be sold by Camron. It was stated recently that Jensen had been sold to Jersey City, but the tran saction won't stand.

SHEfPSHFAD TRACK
 GOES FOR $2,24Q,ooo
VIII Be Used for Auto Race Course
 and General Sports.

New York, April 1.-The sale of the Sheepshead Bay racetraCk was consummated yesterday at a total price of $2,24O,O00. A cash payment
 of $2OO,0OO was made by the new
 Sheepshead Bay Speedway company to the Coney Island Jockey club. clos
 ing the deal which had hung fire for several munths.
 Actual operations towards the new development of the big race course
 will begin next Monday. A score
 of workmen will be set to work re-
 moving all signs of the horse to make way for the automobile. The track
 is to be turned into the worlds great est autom obile course. Though the course is to be laid out for automo- miles will be a half mile shorter than the one at Indianapolis, 1t will be con
 structed so as to permit greater speed. James c. Nichols, an automobile deal CT, who is promoting the scheme, said yesterday that automobiles could take the turn at a speed of no miles an
 hour. Drivers are compelled to re- duce speed considerably taking turns at the Indianapolis motordrome. The turns of the new track will be banked to twenty-four feet. Those at In dianapoliS are only fifteen feet high. Two-Mile Course.
 The Sheepshead Bay auto course will be two miles in circumference
 and eighty feet wide, made. of con-
 crete and steel. The concrete will
 be mixed with an ingredient expected to prevent speeding machines from
 making ruts in the track.
 Next to the track itself the big fea ture of the enterprise will be the grand stand, which will be the largest ever constructed in this country, it was said yesterday. It will seat an army of 100000 persons without crowding This gigantic structure will be of steel
 and concrete.
 It is planned to have the stand built for Labor Day, when the motordrome will be opened with a series of au- tomobile races among leading Ameri- can and foreign drivers. The event is expected to bring together more ] of the worlds crack drivers than any previous event.
 The space inside the big auto track is to be used for other sporting events, football games and other winter sports, as we'll as aviation meets in sum- mer. E-
