JESS WILLARD
 POOR DRAWING
 CARD ON STAGE


 New York, April 19-It is not inn probable that Jess Willard. the new heavyweight champion, will be seen in action at one of the local clubs before the fall. The theatrical en- agreements of the conqueror of Jack Johnson and his appearance at box ing clubs have not been crowned with the success it was expected they would be. Willard closed a weeks engagement at Hammerstein's thea tre last night but there was no great rush for seats during the week, while his appearances at Baltimore, Phtia- delphia, Mount Vernon and at the St Nicholas Rink in this city were not financial successes.
 Willard starts out on a western tour this week and unless the western sporting public evinces a greater de- sire to pay to see Willard. than the eastern sport lovers did the tour may be abandoned and the champion will then be at liberty to pick up some easy money in and around New York. tS
 Willard could command a big guar antee to box Jim Coffey, Al Reich, Colin Bell, Charles Weinert, Tom Me- Carty, Carl Morris, Porky Flynn and ether so-called contenders for the ti- ~Ie. Several boxing promoters ap- preached Manager Jones and Willard last week with a view to arranging a bout outdoors during the latter part of the summer, but nothing will be done in the matter until the result of Willard's western trip is known

EVERY PITCHER ANXIOUS TO TWIRI
 NO HIT CONTEST

When Rube Marquard pitched that no-hit game against Brooklyn at the Polo Grounds on Thursday he did something which is the ambition of every pitcher who ever -twir1ed in the nqaojr leagues. It is no easy task and a no-hit game in the major leagues today is a deserving credentia1 for ad- mission to the baseball hall of fame.
 It is more difficult task to pitch a no-hit game nowadays than it was years ago. Batsmen. while they don't hit any harder and in many instances not as much, are smarter and trickier. The feat is performed occasionally in the minor leagues
 In the list of no-f1it games in the
 major leagues in the past dozen or more years, it is a significant. fact that four of. the Giant pitchers have real ized this ambition. Mathewson stands unique as being the man to pitch. two no-fit games. He pitched the first in 1901 against St. Louis and again in 1905 he twirled a no-hit game against the Chicago Cubs.
 George wiltse, the veteran south paw, who is now manager of Jersey City, pitched a remarkable game against the PhiI1ies in 1908, when he Itraveled 10 innings without allowing a hit Big Jeff Tesreau got into the charmed circle of pitchers in 1912 in Philadelphia when he shut out the Phil1ies Red Ames pitched against Brooklyn for nine innings In the open ing game in 1909 without allowing a hit, but he lost the game in the thir- teenth inning.
 "Nap'3 Fucker of Brooklyn, "no pitched against Marquard when he made his record on Thursday, has a no-hit game to his credit. In 1903 Fucker didn't allow Boston a single hit Last year the performance of young George Davis. the collegian of the Boston Braves, when he pitched a no-hit game against Philadelphia, was l a remarkable piece Of pitching for a novice.
 I s.smol<y" Joe Wood of the Red sox. | of course, is among the no-hit. pitch 1 CTS Wood pitched his no-hit game
 against St. Louis in 1911. Big Ed walsh pitched a no-hit game against
 formerly of the Athletics, let Cleve- l land down without a hit in 1910. Two
 members of the Chicago White Sox
 team, Scott and Benz, both have no-
 hit games to their credit. Benz pitched
 his classic against Cleveland in 1914,
 and Scott pitched his against Wash
 ington last season.
 Earl Hamilton of the St, Louis
 Browns pitched a, no-flit game against
 Detroit in 1912, while George Mullen,
 the former Detroit twirler, made no-
 hit game record for himself against St.
 Louis in 1912.
 l One of the great pitchers of the pres
 ent-day game who has never been able | to pitc ha no-hit game is. Walter John II son, the Washington speed king It IS difficult to understand why Johnson has never been able to get within the charmed circle He has come very close to it a number of times, but has never had quite that little bit of base ball luck which helps out on such mo- Imentous occasions.

GIANTS WIN FROM
 JERSEY CITY TEAM

New York, April 1s.-The Giants jorneyed to Jersey City yesterday, and in the presence of some 5000 fans defeated George Wi1tse's Skeeters by to 3. It was by no means a one sided game, and not until the eighth inning did the Giants get the runs necessary to win. Brainerd slashed a double to right, and when Grant tap ped out an infield hit went to third He scored when Thompson eneaved the ball against the stands, and Grant scampered across the plate when Robertson drove one of Thomp- sons curves to right
 Malcolm Barry, who holds down the first sack for Jersey City, showed his contempt for Kfrkmayer's pitch ing when he drove out a triple in the third inning. General Huerta and his staff were interested spectators at the game.
 There was an abundance of excite ment in the fourth inning, when the Jersey City club took the lead by a score of to 2, and, although the Giants tied the count in the fifth inning, it looked as if WiItse's team was going to win out until the eighth, when the Giants got two runs and won the game.

ANNIVERSARIES
 OF RING BATTLES

1894-Joe Wa1cott knocked out Tommy Tracey in 18th round at Bos- ton. Walcott, t'the Black Demon" was then just beginning to make a name for himself in the ring, while Tracey was an Australian, a foster brother of Dan Creedon, the great rniddleweight, who had had but two previous bouts in America, in which he defeated Billy Gallagher of San Francisco and Mike Harris. The white boy gave the sawed-off cuIlud lad a great battle. The bout was to be rounds, with the referee having the right to order 5 rounds more if necessary. Tracey held Walcott about even in the Is rounds, and the referee ordered them to go on, but in the 18th Joe landed the punch that sent Tom s championship aspirations glinmering- The Australian afterward fought a draw with Joe, but was knocked out by Tommy Ryan and lost to George Green and Kid Lavigne. After rettr- ing from the ring Tracey became a boxing instructor in Portland, Ore.

YALE WILL
 STAND PAT ON
 BASEBALL TEAM

New Haven, April 19-Yale will stand pat on it's baseball lineup for the present. Till close before the series with Harvard and Princeton it is unlikely that any changes will be made in the lineup of the nine. Not many are expected, as Way and Hunt CT are picked as the regular battery and Bush, Milburn, LeGore and Reil- ly, as the frst-string infield. That Vaughan, Captain Lou MiddIebrook and Hanes are below their last years form and Captain Middlebrook, although brilliant in fielding and timely with the stick, is below aver age in both departments of the game. He has already made three errors. against only one for the whole of last season, and his batting average $ only 200. Easton is putting up A formidable game for the outheld and is a live dark horse possibility.
 Nudge. who was regular catcher fast season, will not return to college this year. He went to his home in the west several weeks ago and is now out of condition. for baseball for severalx weeks. This will bring the brunt of, the catching upon Bill Hunt CT; who was distanced by Nudge in the competition last season. Hunter s work is much steadier than last year, when his throwing to bases was very cratic and his batting poor. Johnny Castles, the footbaIL tha1fback and former freshman catcher, has won second-string selection as backstop. He was catcher for the second nine last year. Castles is inclined to be slow. Brophy has been drilled by Coach Frank Quinby for several weeks.
 Spencer Pumpelly, who sprafned his ankle three weeks ago. is still unable to pitch. He was believed to be the most promising possibility for the pitchers box next to the vet eran Pie Way. Underwood and Dick Watrous will alternate with Way and Gurney. Larry Walsh and DangIer have been kept on the squad. Un- defwood and Watrous are extremely promising, although by no means fin ished veterans.

SAY MACK HAS SIGNED
 REILLY AND LEGORE OF YALE
They Have Agreed to Join Macknen at Close of College Careers.

New Haven, April 19.-Accord ding to a. report received from Philade1phia yesterday. Harry LeGore- and Johnnie Reilly, star infeiders of the Yale baseball nine. will be with the Phila- delphia Americans at the close of their college courses. It is a known fact that Connie Mack has been dickerinS for both of the Yale heroes and it is very probable that the tall Tiogan now has an option on .LeGore. Y es- terday the big fu11back of the Blue football eleven, who fought so game 1y, but hope1ess1y{ against Harvard's powerful eleven last fall, was non committal on the subject of options, although he stated that he has sever al offers from big league managers. Reilly. however, emphatically de- nied that he had given his promise to Mack or any other manager He frankly expressed his intention of en- tering the professional side of the game when his college days are over, and said that the highest bidder would get him.
 When asked if it were true that Mack held an option on his services he replied:
 NO, sir, it is not They've all been after me, but I have given no one my promise. I intend to go with some big league club, but I am not partial to any. It is question of money and the one that bids the high est is the one that will get me-
 Have you received an offer from Mack ?'' was the next query.
 'eYes, I have and from several oth- CTS, but I will not go for the money that was offered me so far. | do not care to name the figure they have ten dered.''
 LeGore, husky, black-haired youth of medium height, was inclined to be silent on the subject. Head nitted that the scouts have been af- ter him, but stated that he doubted if he would turn professional. CT intend to enter business, and if find that I cannot make a success then I will enter the big leagues. ] have had several offers, but do not care to state from whom
 Further than that he was non-con-

WILLARD FIGURES
 IN PARLIAMENT RECORDS OF CANADA

Jess Willard has the unique distinc- ton of figuring in hansard-the off cial minutes of Canada's sedate House of Commons On the day of the Ea- vana fight the House was engagad in an important debate, in which Pre- mier Borden and Sir Wilfrid Laurier took part.
 The member who had the floor was procee eding in serious vein when a page put a note on his desk. The M. P. glanced at it and said:
 'cFsor the information of the hon orab1e gentlemen I may say that Will lard won the fight in the tWenty-sixth round" (Great applause.)
 After it had subsided the speaker went right along with his remarks, in the record of which Wi11ard's vic tory became part.

M'FARlAND AND
 GIBBONS; COFfEY AND REICH SIGNED

New York, April 194Two important boxing contests will probably be staged in thas city within the next three months. William Gibson an nonuced yesterday that he had match ed Jim Coffey, the Dublin Giant, to box ten rounds with Al Reich at Mad ison Square Garden on May 5, and 8 dispatch from Chicago yestreday stat ed that Packed Mcfarland and Mike Gibbons had accepted the terms of the Bronx promoter
 Gibson has not received any con- f1rmation of the announcement, but he has been expecting the acceptance of the two boxers for some time. In the event of the news being accurate Gfb- son will stage the McFariand-Gdbb bout probably outdoors around July 4
 The fact that Caffey and Reich will settle their differences will be gratify- ing news to the followers of the box ing game. Several attempts have ebep made to match the rival heavy weights, as they are probably the best pair outside of Willard befort the pub lie, and the winner of the contest will be considered 8 worthy contender for the championship.
 Coffey's ring career has been little short of. phenomenal and he has work ed his way to the top of the pugiIistic ladder by sheer merit. Reich enjoys an enviable reputation, although he received hard jolt from Dan Flynn in their ten-round bout last week Reich was sadly outclassed in this contest
 Mcfarland and Gibbons are regard ed as the two cleverest boxers in the world. Many efforts have been made to match the pair, and the boxing en- thusiasts have been anxious for a chance to see the men together in the ring. They agreed to box before the club offering the best induceAents, and Emil Thiery, McF'arland's man ager is authority for the announce ment that Gibson's offer had been ac- cepted. The weight will be 145 pounds at o'clock on the afternoon of the contest.

ITALY HEARS GERMANS
 ABANDON OFFENSIVE

Rome. April 19.-Omcial comnuni- cations received. by the Italian cabi- net and statements made by Germans in official circles have given the inn nression here that the German gem eraI staff has abandoned plans for general offensive movement on the French front and has decided simply to maintain the defensive. This in formation has caused a deep impress sion here, because it is believed to sig nifv that Germany has no hope of penetrating further into French terri- tory.

UTICA CHAMPIONS
 HERE TOMORROW
 TAKE ON RIBBONS

The worlds champion Utica ba.s- ketbalI team will appear at Colonial hall tomorrow night to start a series with the Blue Ribbons. The local boys see a chance to capture the worlds title and are going right after the Utica champions from the sound of the opening whistle. The hall will undoubtedly be packed with fans who have been following the victorious career of the Ribbons all season.
 So far the Ribbons have cleaned up all corners but they are going against the hardest opponents they have ever faced when they tackle the Utica boys tomorrow. Last season Utica came here for series and sim ply toyed with the Ribbons. At that time Manager Leavy's aggregation was not so strong as at present. The Ribbons have perfected passing game and their shooting is much bet ter than last year.
 Those who saw the Utica stars in action last year will recall them as the 1speediest bunch ever seen here. They are marveIs of accuracy in shooting. Utica won the New York league championship in 1914 and was two games behind Troy when the league disbanded a short time ago, Since then the Utica players have been on tour. There will be preliminary tomorrow night. The big lineup: Blue Ribbons Utica Clinton, lf., Friedman Beckman, IT. .lg. Fox Leonard, c.. Cone SWenSon, ug .rf. 1ng1is Roach, rg. If. Sedran
