JACK WELSH NAMED AS REFEREE
San Francisco Man Selected Meeting of Principals and Promoters Ofciate at Big Pugilstc Battle-Physi- clans Declare Johnson's Physical Condition Remark able-WiIard Displaying Excellent Footwork and More Snap in His Punches.

Havana, March 25.-Jack Welsh of SaE Francisco has been named as referee for the Johnson Willard fight. He was selected at a meeting of the principals and promoters tonight and the promoters sent cablegram to him asking his acceptance.
 Tom Jones was spokesman for Will lard; Johnson acted for himself. Welsh was selected from a list of 14 men. Harry Sharpe of St. Louis and Mike Donovan of New York also were fla vored.
 The proposal to name a substitute or an alternate was deferred until word should be received from Welsh.
 A physical examination of Jack Johnson by an American physician to- day disclosed the fact that the heavy weight champion, who is to meet Jess Willard in the ring on April 4. Is in fine condition and is enjoying perfect health.
 The physician declared that the fighters condition was remarkable for a man 3S years old. In addition, John son has been exhibiting an abundance of spirits and is looking forward with confidence to the coming fight.
 The usual routine marked the after noon work of the two men.
 Johnson has shortened his schedule, finding that he is losing weight too fast, because of the climatic cond1- tions. This afternoon he punched the Dag and had eight rounds With ms sparring partners.
 Willard worked harder. His sched- ule was similar to that of yesterday. He showed excellent footwork and un- usual snap in his punches. He says he is fully accustomed now to the changed conditions from Fl Paso and expects to increase his work daily to the mid dle of next week and then to decrease it gradually.
 Plans have been completed for stands at the Mariana race course to accommodate between 10000 and 30,- 000 people. There has been a good sale of the cheaper seats to Cubans. It is expected that the boxes and ring side seats will be sold principally to tourists and fight enthusiasts from the United States.
 The betting on the fight has not been very extensive. but the small bets so far laid make Johnson the favorite at from 2 to 1-2 to l.

No Action Taken on Vacancies.

New Haven. Conn.,, March 25. - No | action was taken by the directors of the Eastern Baseball association here today in filling the vacancies caused by the forfeiture of the New Haven, Hartford and Springfield franchises. In making this announcement, after two hours deliberation behind closed doors, President ORourke added that no steps would be taken until word had been received from Secretary Farrell of the national association, to whom the matter had been referred
 There are applicants for franchises in three or more cities, O'Rourke said. but the applicants are desirous of hay ing the legal entanglenents unraveled before attempting to take hold. O'Rourke reiterated his former state ments that the league would surely start this season, but admitted that the opening would be delayed 10 days or more. It was learned from other sources, however, that O'Rourke's feel ing of optimism is not shared by at least two of the directors. It Is said that there is a growing sentiment in favor of discontinuing the league for the present season.
 The meeting was adjourned subject to the call of the president.

EDWARD HANLoN CUTS
 FEDERAL LEAGUE
Baltimore Stockhoider Has Sold Gu Fearing the League Would Go or the Rocks.

After helping to organize the Bal tinore Federal League club, which forced Jack Dunn and the Interna- tfonal league to abandon that city, Edward Hanlon has disposed of his stock, together with that of prouni- nent hotel man and no longer is identified with the business affairs of the Terrapins It is true that Han lon, who leased a ball park to the Feds in Baltimore, remains the land lord, but in playing that role he is running no great risk Hanlon for merly collected rent from Jack Dunn, but the transfer of the Orioles to Richmond last season was followed by the cutting up of the old park into building Lots. Han1on has not att tended a Federal league meeting for some time, which is believed to be due to a sudden lack of interest in the affairs of the Gilmore circuit.
 When HaIlon, who is a baseball man of wide experience, consented to invest money in the Terrapins g. year ago it was ascertained by enemies that he would not subscribe more than $20,000 and that his real purpose was the leasing of his property directly op- posite the park for which Dunn had been paying rent to Hanlon for sev- eral years. At first Hanlon was en- thusiastic over the Federal leagues prospects. He marched at the head of a brass band with Gilmore and the Wards when Washington park, the

home of the Brookfeds, was opened in May. But in midsummer Hanlon a wise old owl, admitted to J. J. NfcCaf- frey and Joe Kelley of the Toronto International league club that the Feds could not succeed as a third major league"
 According to the story now in cir culation, Hanlon became disgusted with the way the Federal league was handled and at the end of last season he decided to sell his stock in the Baltimore club. He succeeded in get ting rid of every share and then he quietly disposed of a block of stock owned by a well known hotel propri- etor. Persons who are close to the situation in Baltimore say that Han lon sold out fearing that the Federal league as whole would go on the rocks. In view of the financial trou- bles of the Feds in Kansas City and Indianapolis Hanlon evidently saw the handwriting on the wall.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET LESS ACTIVE, But Prices Forged Ahead, Many New High Records Being Scored.

New York, March 25.-Dealings in stocks contracted considerably today, but prices continued to forse ahead, numerous new high records for the year being scored The advance com prehended many representative shares in the railway classes, such as Atch- ison, St. Paul, Great Northern, North ern Pacific and Louisville and Nash vile, these showing gains of one to two points at their best.
 Union Pacific retained it's leader ship, with a substantial advance over its high price of the previous session and Southern Pacific, Baltimore and tional list also went to higher levels. Offerings for foreign account were again 8 factor and probably a res training influence, particularly in Union Pacific and United States Steel. Sales through London thus far this shares, but the precip5tate liquidation which was feared on London's accept ance of this markets minimum prices has not yet materialtzed.
 Other strong points in today's trad ing included the anthracite shares, those comprising the former Gould group. Industrials and specfalties were comparatively inconspicuous, the metal stocks failing to make further response to another advance in the price of copper to 15 3-4 cents. Final prices were mostly under the top level but the undertone yielded little of it's firmness.
 Withdrawal of one of the most prom fnent financial institutions from the exchange market contributed to great CT strength in quoted rates on a1- most all foreign markets. Another $1,000,0 900 gold was engaged at Ottawa and $500,000 additional gold was taken from Japan's store of the yellow metal. The gold inflow from Canada, largest of any week in over year, was re- fiected in the weekly statement of the Bank of England, which reported a bullion loss of over $11, ,000,0
 The Atchison system contributed a noteworthy statement of earnings for February, showing a net gain of about $750, 900.
 Total sales of stocks amounted to 443,900 shares.
 Bonds were more active and higher, total sales, par value aggregating S2.- 9O9, 900.

| ROWING AUTHORITIES
 REACH NO AGREEMENT
Yale Harvard Unable to Decide Whether to Have Second Varsity Fights or Four Dared Varsity Race.

With all other arrangements com pleted, the rowing authorities at liar ward and Yale have not yet arrived at any conclusion as to whether one of the three races on the big day of the regatta on the Thames shall be a contest between second varsity eights as was the case last year. when the Harvard crew won and subsequently went to Henley and won the Grand Challenge cup, or whether there shall be return to varsity four cared crews. as had been the custom for some years previous to 1914.
 It was stated at Harvard that liar yard was in favor of a return to the varsity four-oared race, in the belief that there was more honor coming to the oarsmen rowing in a varsity four in which they are assured of their initials. than in second varsity eight, for which initials are not awarded as general thing. Yale, however fayors the second varsity eight idea And there the matter stands at the present time.
 Whichever race is decided upon, it will be rowed downstream in the morning of June 25. from Red Top to the navy yard, about 1915 o'clock. to be followed by the usual race for freshman eights from the navy yard to the bridge The big varsity race will be rowed upstream, presumably about 4.30 o'clock in the afternoon The course last year was also up- stream.
 On the day before the varsity race will come the usual freshman four cared race either scrub four-oared or scrub eight-oared race, to be made up of freshman and varsity sub stftutes. Whether the usual graduates eight race. which has been a sporting event for so many years, will be, un- dertaken again next June has not been decided. It has frequently been diff fcult to get enough alumni oarsmen together to man the eights, and for that reason it may be abandoned.
