.RITCHIE AND TED LEWIS TO MINGLE
 |. TOMORROW NIGHT

New York, Dec 27-The holiday hstic attraction for this week is scheduled for tomorrow night at Madison Square Garden, when Ted Lewis of England, and Willie Ritchie, the former American lightweight champion, will clash in a ten-round bout. Both boxers now belong to the weIterweight class, although a few months ago they were among the top- notchers of the lightweight division.
 With their increased weight they will enter the ring weighing close to 142 pounds, and the winner will be generally acknowledged the welter- weight champion.
 Lewis is one of the c1everest two- handed boxers to invade this country, and is regarded by experts as a won derful1y shifty man. Ritchie has been among the foremost in his class for several yearss and while he is not as scientific as his opponent he is hard CT puncher and will have his hands full in winning from the Britisher. The we1terweight class has been neg since boxer of any prominence held the title.
 Frank Moran and Jim Coffey, the two heavyweights, who will play a re- turn engagement at the Garden on Jan. 2, will be at the ringside, as they will both attend a meeting with Jim my Johnston, representing the Garden
 management. for the purpose of de- posting $500 each as a guarantee to carry out their contracts.

LEAGUE WILL
 HELP S0MERS
 IN GLEVELAND

Chicago, Dec. 27-President John son of the American league has called a speci al meeting of his baseball mag mates for Wednesday in Cleveland, yEithsthts hope of clearing up the fnan- cial distress which surrounds the Cleveland club. Now that peace has been iesta blished in the national game, Johnson thinks the creditors of Chas. Souers president of the Cleveland club will be more easily satisfied, and that it will be possible to keep Som CTS at the head of his club.
 The main reason for the special meeting is that all the league mem bers may take an active part in the plan to keep Soaners in the organ izatfon but there are a few other tended to. things which were to have were interrupted by the rush message from New York calling the men to the peace meeting.
 There are some new angles of the game also to be taken up before am other season begins. for the signing of the peace treaty has changed con ditions entirely and the league will proceed on it's 1918 campaign along entirely different lines than it would have if the Federal league still exist ed. As a number of the Federal league stars are wanted by clubs in the American league. Johnson thinks it will be well for the members tot get together and thrash out the matter also.

PALMER AND BOSSE PUT UP
 LIVELY SCRAP
CBy Wa agner.)

Ducky Holmes, the East End sport ing nagnate, asks no odds of William Jennings Bryan or any other word painter. Ducky mounted the rostrum at the Casino on Christmas afternoon and in a few thousand well chosen words told the fans why there was a delay in staging the Palmer-Bosse bout The audience must have liked his chin music for they gave, him a great hand
 The bout was worth waiting for at that There seemed to be a slight coIdness between the boys and they went at eaeh other like a, couple of wolves Bosse was aiming to get the good night punch over and he did put Palmer to the carpet in the sixth but the bell saved Palmer at this critical time. Palmer landed frequently on Bosse but the blows apparently did no damage The advantage rested with one boxer and then with the other so a draw is the~only fair verdict.
 In the semi-fnaI Al Ketche1 out pointed Willie oCondon of the Acorn A. c. KetcheI displayed more fighting spirit than people thought he had. He went right after Condon but Willie showed a tendency to clinch at every opportunity.
 Jerome Hennessy of Jersey City made a big hit by his fast tactics. He put it all over Willie andrews of the Acorn A. c. in the six round prelim- mary.
 I There was a fair sized crowd on hand but it appears as if the fans don't care for afternoon shows. The re- ceipts amounted to $835.

TELL FULTON TO
 MEET WINNER OF
 MORAN-C -COFFEY e

New York. Dec 27-Dominick Tortoric and Tommy Burns promot- CTS of the WiIlard-Fulton champion ship match here in March, have noti- fled their representative, Thomas An dreWs- of Milwaukee, that Fred Full ton will be longer be considered as Willard's opponent unless Fulton meets the winner of the Moran~Cof- fey match, to be held in New York, January r, and eonYinces the fans of the East that he is qualified to meet the champion. Tortoric and Burns will not bid for this elimina- ton bout, or at least are not consider ing doing so at this time, as they believe it would be worth more to the New York promoters
 If such a. match is not arranged Willard will be asked to meet the winner of the Moran-Coffey fight. This is the fight the promoters want if the winners terms are considered reasonable. Tommy Burns telegraph ed Tom Jones, manager of Willard, advising that the promoters, prompt ed by sentiment of press and public, could no longer consider Fulton and asked Jones if he would consent to send Willard against Moran.

Hinkey Saved Princeton Game.

From New Haven comes the story that Frank Hinkey saved the Prince ton game in the final thrilling period by withdrawing Jim Sheldon from the line at the time Princeton was crash ing down the field for what looked like touchdown. It was Hinkey who noticed how the Tigers were gain ing through Sheldon, who was becom- ing exhausted. Hinkey informed Tom Shev1in and Walden was rushed in to replace Sheldon. Then Princeton was repu1sed and shortly afterward came the famous tumble which saved Yale. It is, estimated that $5O,0O0s which Yale men had bet on their team, was saved by Hinkey's action.

George Tyler Was
 25 on Christmas Day

George Tyler, the southpaw twir1er of the Braves, was a Christmas gift to hs parents twenty-five years ago. Tyler was born in Derry, N. H., and first played with Lowell in 1910, going to Boston the following season. While some people might object to having a southpaw wished on 'em by Santa Claus, Tyler is a steady, dependable sort of chap, without the eccentricities usually associated with left-handed pitching ability.

 COACH IN HOCKEY

New Haven, Dec. 27-Aubrev c. Grove, the new head coach for the Yale hockey team, began his duties by scouting in New York the other night when the Princeton team play ed St. Paul's. He watched the Tigers very closely and does not think that Yale has much to fear from them
 Grove said there was an impression abroad that Yale had a team of world beaters this season but he said that while the team was undoubtedly a good one, he would not call it a phe- nomena1 team by any means and it would have to be worked over a great deal before any championship would loom in sight.

 The .Richmonds are not the cnIy ducal house of England descended from King Charles IT. and his rais- tresses. While that ruler had no children by his lawfu welded spouse he recognized no less than a dozen offspring of his sweethearts. James Duke of Monmouth, natural son of King Charles and Mrs. Lucv Walters, was the ancestor of the present Duke of Buccleugh. The dukes of Grafton are descended from Henry Fitzroy, son of Charles II. and the Duchess Of Cleveland. Another son of the Ouch ess of Cleveland was created Duke of Northumberland. The dukes of St. AIbans trace their descent to Charles Beauc1ero, whose father was King Charles and his mother the famous Mel Gwynn.

We don't pretend to. say who was at fault in the argument which caused the delay in putting on the<main bout at the Casino, Christmas afternoon. But there is one thing certain The boxing business will be killed as dead as a. doornai1 if these last minute ar guments between promoters are not stopped. Ducky Holmes, who was running, the show, says the agreem ent with Palmer called for Bud to receive a, certain percentage but when. he saw the small house the boxer wanted $2Oe to go on. Billy Hogan, manager for Palmer, declares Bosse failed to make the weight and Palmer was not oblig- ed to go on unless he received greater inducements. >~ Anyway, Holmes did the right thing%in staging the bout even if he did EoseA$12o by the opera tion.~ In the future the promoters should argue everything to a finish be- fore the show and then run their bouts without delays.
