kIJBANE AND DUNDEE WIN.
Featherwcight Champion Defeats Wal
 lace and Callahan Loses Bow.

New York, March 31.-JOhnny Xiii bane, the featherweight champion, and Johnny Dundee proved a drawing at traction last night at the Broadway Sporting club of Brooklyn when they performed before the biggest crowd that has ever attended a boxing bout staged by the club. An hour before the first pair of glove artists stepped into the ring the clubhouse was packed and only a favored few secured ad- mission after that time. It was a near-riot, and the reserves were called out to disperse the disappointed fans. About 5000 persons saw thirty rounds of good boxing and fully that number was turned away.
 The featherweight champion took the measure of Eddie Wallace of Brooklyn in the most approved fashion after ten rounds of clever milling, and Dundee repeated his performance of a few weeks ago by giving Frankie Callahan a good lacing after a con- test that aroused the 1ive1iest enthu- siasm among the spectators.

AMERICAN LEAGUE
 RACE WELL BALANCED
Will Furnish Better Race Than
 Last Year, Says RCksy.

St. Louis, March 31.-'Though the Browns are an improved ball club, they may not finish as high in the American league race as they did in 1914"
 The foregoing paradoxical exprcs- sion may be attributed to Branch Hickey, who is not hitching his wagon to d star this season in his pre-sea- son summing up of the American league race.
 In this connection it is we'll to re- member that last season before play began the ex-collegian said the Browns would do well to finish out of eighth place, and in the final adjust ment of percentages it so happened that the Browns finished but d few games out of third place.
 Rickcy's Reasons. The reasons Hickey advances for his 1915 conclusion are:
 That the American league race will be much better balanced than it was last season.
 That Eddie Collins should make a sure first division team of the Chicago White SoX.
 That Philadelphia, despite the loss of Collins and Baker, too, if he is lost, still will be a first division con tender
 That Detroit has the intrinsic abil- ity to go far in the race.
 That the Red Sox look like the most formidable team in the league.
 That Wasnington's pitching staff and defensive ability should keep it in the first division.
 Obviously that leaves but two clubs New York and Cleveland-that Hickey feels sure of beating on the go-in.
 If this were true the Browns would finish sixth, one position lower than they gained last season.
 However, there are several points indubitably in favor of the Browns. In contrast to last season, Hickey will start the present year with ais infield constructed save for first base.

VIGOROUS OPPOSITION
 TO NEWSBOY BILL
Legislative Committee on Educat ton Hears Arguments on Measure Re
 quiring Badges and Conditions.

Hartford, March 31.---Vigorous op-
 position developed at a hearing yes
 terday before the legislative commit
 tee on education this afternoon to 6
 bill which would require newsboys
 under sixteen ysk of age to.secure
 adges before b&ng permitted to
 work on the streets in cities Of more
 than 25,ooo population. Thasobposi-
 tio1l was lead bysJonn C. Collins of
 New, Haven, who said that forty years
 experience in work among: boys had
 shown him the danger of regulation
 of this charaGter when there were no serious sevils to be eorrected. Others who opposed the bin were Miss Mary Hall, a 1nember of the bar$pf Hart ford county, who has been for many years interested in the Good4ill club of Hartford; Superintendent .Anes of the Brown school of Hartford. and former AldermAn James D. Hart of New Haven.
 Several newspapers about the state were also represented in opposition to tn bilI,* but most of their opposi- tion was withdrawn when d subsu- to the bill, but most of their opposl- ] ey of the state board of education, l which eliminated the clause Which prevented boys under sixteen from selling newspapers on the street be- 1 fore o'clock in the morning.
 MT. Cheney stated at the opening 1 of the hearing that he introduced the i original bill at the request of the 1 Child Welfare league. He offered a 1 substitute, which he said had the en- ] dorsement of the state board of edu- 1 cation. . This bill provided only that ] boys, or girls under sixteen who sold 1 papers on the street must secure a 1 badge from an agent of the state 1 board of health and that special 1 schools be established to look after l their education.
 1 Many of the speakers referred to 1 the many successful men who have 1 started out in life as newsboys. The l boys, they claimed, should be en- icouraged instead of discouraged from ] becolning newsboys.
 Captain Andrews, manager editor l of the "Hartford Times,' and Will 1 liam J. Pape of Waterbury. publisher l of the ''Waterbury Republican, dis 1 cussed the bill from the newspapers l viewpoint.

kfTCHfL IMPROVING
 - 2. FOR HIS BOUT APR. 6 Nil Box h North Adams if He Shows We'll Against Nelson.

1 Eddie ketchel of Grand Rapids continues to improve for his bout with Frankie Nelson of New Jersey in this ] city on April 6. Ketchel put in / long workout yesterday at Skritulskys 1 nall while a large audience sat aro'nu
 and admired. Jack Kerin, #ocai boxer, put on the mitts for two 1'u 'unds and considering that he was not Ill training he put up a creditabe snow Ing. ketchel was light op h1nn ana did not tear loose at any Mne during their brief battle.
 Ketchel is the local fevorite for hls hfteen-round go win Nelsoh' ai though the New Jersey boy Is plckeo
 to win by some on account ol HIS
 past record, which credits him With
 draw bout against Jack BrlttOn. At
 any rate the two should put up a
 classy article of le boxe.
 John sullivan, matchmaker for
 North Adams best boxing club, was
 in town yesterday and told Jack
 James, KetcheTs manager, that he would put ketchel up against young Dyson of Providence at North Adams if the Grand Rapids 1ightw eight earned draw with Nel- son. Sullivan is skeptical about Ketchefs chances against the Jersey boy, although he hopes to be pleas antly surprised as he believes ketchel would be a good drawing card in North Adanis. Sullivan has been re- sponsible for some of the best bouts staged in North Adams.

 Tommy McGlynn of Chicago, a 122 pound boxer, was a caller at the Herald yesterday. McGlynn and his manager, John Burke, are touring the east looking for engagements. The boxer appeared at an East Hartford smoker against Dick Ryan Monday night and believes he had the edge on Manager Camps protege. When told this Camp smiled and said Ryan won easily. McGlynn has met some of the fastest youngsters in the south and middle west.
 Camp claims that the reason Joe Ryan had such as easy time with Young" Romano at the last boxing show under Fay's auspices was be- cause he wore light gloves while Romano was equipped with heavy maulers. Judging by Ryans work he would have whipped Romano had his knuckles been covered with feathr CT pillows.

 In the Fitszimmons case the New EYOrk loxing commission decided that forty is the age limit for fistic knights, Eand, under that ruling, Johnson has Ebun three years to go. In the mean time, of course, much may happen, and then, much may not. Of course, Johnson may relinquish his crown to another African, but this is case where any change is for the best The |~pugilistic world is suffering from too much Johnson.
 | If the Smoke retains the champion ship five days longer he will have equalled the best modern age record for heavyweight title-holders. Bob Fitzsimmons Was five days past his thirty-seventh birthday when Jim Jeffries took the pugilistic honors away from him. No other heavy weight champion of the Queensbury era has come anywhere near the re- cord of Johnson and Fitz. Jeffrles was thirty-five when he was defeated by Johnson, and had retired some years before. Corbett lost the big title when he was thirty, and Sulli van was nearing his thirtyfourth birthday when Corbett gave him his quietus in New Orleans.
 Among the older school of Ameri- can champions, Paddy Ryan was de- feated at the age of twenty mine, and Tom Allen at thirty-siX. Joe Gooss was forty-one when he lost to Paddy Ryan in the memorable S7 round bat tie in West Virginia. At that time, however, Goss was only a claimant of the American title, and had never been generally recognized as cham pion. Among the old-timers of the British ring the champion of forty was not so rare as now, although even then l few men were at their best at John- sons present age. Altogether and large it seems that Jack must soon take the count from Father Time. Colored champions, as a rule, have not lasted very long. Joe Walcott was an exception, for the Barbadoes Demon was past thirty-four when he lost the welterweight title, and his passing as ring star was more due to the accidental shooting of a hole through one of his hands than to the ravages of time. George Dixon lost the title of featherweight champion at thirty, and Joe Cans was thirty-threc when Battling Nelson took his meas ure. Peter Jackson was all in at thirty-two. Tom MoineauX, the fa- nous American negro fighter of cen- tury ago, was early victim of dis sipation.
 Such considerations give us hope. At the same time, there is the mel ancholy fact that Sam Langford is still on the S11111,yf Si1n oF %hi~>+,,

The school was opened in the fall

third floor of the Ullery building on
Main street. One year later, in he

such an extent that two more rooms
were added and the latter part of De-

occupy seven rooms, using the entire

the school in that building and in De-
