TOMMY BURNS PICKS
 WILLARD TO WIN.
Thinks the Hope Will Restore the
 Title to White Race.

Tommy Burns, from whom Jack Johnson won the worlds heavyweight championship, recently looked from his feet inches into the altitude0 his 5 feet into the altitudina1 eyes of @ new Richmond who is going to fight Johnson with the hope or re- storing the championship to the white race and said to him:
 Jess, if you don't win from John son I will never try to pick another winner in the ring. I think you are absolutely sure to win. |"
 Jess Willard looked down from his 6 feet an dencouraged Tommy to go on. He was listening to one who probably knows Jack Johnson better than any other.
 T fought Johnson wrong" contin- ued Burns. 'I played into his hands, thinking I could outgame him. If 1 had baxed him I could have stayed the limit and won the decision, for Johnson. I think. is the poorest champiGp am 3pa we deFets eyer have ea had i'd man, but he won't fight.

 English Racing Vii Continue.
 The Jockey club has decided to continue racing in spite of the war in England.
 The only change from times ot peace will be the necessarl curtail- ment of some social functions in con- nection with the Epson and Ascot meetings.
 A special meeting of the Jockey club was held at the residence o1 Lord Derby in London recently to decide this question, on which public opinion is divided so widely.
 After an exhaustive discussion the club confirmed it's decision of six months ago that the continuance ot racing was necessary to the interests of horse breeding and of the thous- ands of men employed in connection with the sport

HARTFORD AND SPRINGFIELD
 FOR INTERNATIONAL LEAGUE
Rumor of Transfer of the New Jersey
 and Newark Teams.

New York, March 18.-A persistent report that the International League was to take up with the National As sociation of Minor League Baseball clubs the question of the transfer of the New Jersey and Newark clubs to Hartford and Springfield was denied tonight by Edward G. Barrow, presi- dent of the league.
 Barrow asserted that his circuit was fixed for this year, and that he had no intention of preaching the sub ject of a change to the New England cities. The rumor that Hartford was to be taken into the International League gained credence from the fact that Barrow had carried on executive negotionations with James Clarkin owner of the Hartford club, which with Springfield and New Haven was declared out of the Eastern Assoc1a- tion on Tuesday. Clarkin has dispos- ed of four of his star players to Jer- sey City, the latest being Pitcher Rieger.
 Barrow also asserted that he had not yet fixed a date for the succeed ing meeting of the league. It was re- ported that the reorganization of the Newark club would be started next week with the announcement of the appointment of John HummeI of Brooklyn as manager.

New Haven Club Releasing Members
Forecasted That New Haven Will Not Start This Season in Eastern Baseball Associaton-Unconditonal Releases Given to Two Mainstays of the Team-Remainng Players Will be Released Shortly.

New Haven, Conn, March 1S.-That the New Haven club of the Eastern Baseball Association will not start this season was forecasted tonight when official announcement was made of the unconditioal releases of two of the main stays of the team for two years-George Sherwood, third base man and Clyde Waters, catcher. It was said. unofficially, that the re- maining players will be released shortly. Manager Conneu was re- leased recently.
 The action is an aftermath of the meeting earlier in the week at Hart ford, when three of the directors met with President O'Rourke and de- clared forfeited the franchises of the New Haven, Hartford and Springfield clubs.
 An adjourned meeting of the league is to be held here tomorrow, when it is expected action will be taken to fill the vacancies. As the league is now constituted, there are only three clubs, Bridgeport, New London and Pittsfield. President ORourke claims applications will be received from three cities for franchises.
 It was said here tonight that ncne of the busted clubs will be represent ed at tomorrow's meeting. The clubs are represented by counsel and it is reported the matter will be taken di- rect to the national commission for adjustment.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET SHOWED STRENGTH,
Dealings in Securities Were on :
 Broader Scale.

New York, March 1S.-Dealings in securities today were broader and far Tn excess of the previous days total, but the movement of prices was more conIus1ng- Reading was again the most prominent feature, owing to it's continued heaviness, making a max mum decline of 1 1-2 points, with some recovery in the final dealings. United States Steel also was heavy, being singled, out with Reading by the short interest.
 Canadian Pacific reflected further pressure. which may have originated abroad. and motor shares, with the exception of Willis Overland fell back on marked decrease of trading. Beth lehem Steel repeated it's daily perform ance of attaining new high price at 68 3-4 and the copper group rose apprectably. Gains elsewhere were in stocks that command little public sup port.
 There were some interesting devel- oDments in the foreign situation, de- mana sterling declined to 4.79 3-S, a traction above its low quotation. Ac- cording to reports current in exchange circles, a prominent national bank has sold from SIG, .000 to s15,0OO, 900 of french exchange to one of the lead Ing trust companies, the latter In turn oe1ng a heavy seller of sterling. Re- neWed weakness in Italian exchange directed further attention to the atti- tude of that country in connection with the war; Announcement was made of the successful sale of the s1O,0o0, 600 German government 1-2 months note recently offered here
 Another gold engagement of $5oO.- 900 from Japan offered proof of this country's growing influence in the worlds money markets. The Bank of England, whose weekly statement showed further loss of gold, has sold some more of the metal, which is likely to come into this market by way of Canada Local brokers were interested in the news that the London exchange is to post a revised list of prices tonor- row. It is expected that our stocks will figure prominently in the revision. London's markets were quiet, with un- deriving frmness. Mixed prices were registered for Americans today.
 Total sales of stocks amounted to 219,600 shares,
 Bonds were heavy. with weakness in obscure issues. Total sales. par value, aggregated $2,174,000.
 U. S. bonds were unchanged on call.

4 CREWS TO RACE
 AT PoUGHKEEPSlE. Three Fights Quit the Meet-Corneil, Syracus, Columbia and Penn Sole Survivors,

Indications point to a four-cornered race for the intercollegiate rowing championship on the Hudson river this year, with Cornell, Syracuse, Co., lumbia and Pennsylvania the only colleges to be represented when the start is made within the shadow of Crum Elbow, June 28. An effort is being made to interest the winner of the Pacific Coast title, but unless this is done only the quartet named will face the s<<rter.
 Wisconsin has definitely abolished competitive rowing. Washington Un- iversity declines to make the long trip through great expense entailed and the inability of her oarsmen to be- come sufficiently acclimated to give a good account of themselves after the long trip across the continent.
 Annapolis will not enter because of the ban on races longer than the Hen ley distance and there appears to be no possibility of securing the entry of the other crews for the rowing clas- sic.
 With the exception of Columbia all are working on the open water. The
 MorningSide champions plan to get their first rover rowing within the next few days. Coach Ten Eyck ot the Syracuse crews has the work of constructing a varsity crew partially under way. For the past two weeks the men have been rowing on the out jet under varing weather and water conditions. despite handicaps pro- gress has been made.
 Pennsylvania, second in last years race, is regarded as the most danger ous factor at present. Coach Nichalls has retained seven of the men who rowed in the varsity shell last year and, with but one man to develop should give the other contestants 2 merry struggle for honors.
 Columbia, after making rowing his. tory by winning the championship last June after lapse of 21 year: l loses six of the men who rowed tht boat across the line ahead of all com peitiors- and placed Columbia on thu | highest pinnacle in the rowing world Coach Rice faces the stupendous tasl | of finding six men to take the place! | of the oarsmen who brought victor. | to the Morningside school.
 l Coach Charles Courtney of Cornel who has furnished more winners fo
 the varsity race than any other coacl l in the intercolligate world, has tn
 entire junior and freshmen crew! from which to select men to fill tn
 places left vacant by Films, Gillmal | Spransy and Bird. Both the Cornel
 freshman and junior boats won tn
 races in which they participated, fiv l terial from which to choose his varsi l ing Courtney much high-class ma | ty men.

 He suggested that the commission recommend the selling of these Indian lines. investing and safeguarding for any incompetent Indians the revenue from the sales.
 Professor Austin said ninety per cent. of the contracts between land lords and tenants in Texas are verbal and fifty per cent. for one year only, with the result that neither tenants nor land owners are able to improve agricultural and living conditions on thousands of farms The custom of tenants, he said, in mortgaging their crops ahead on notes which nearly all fall due in October and NOcember means their .ecOnOuic bondage"

OKLAHOMA FARMERS OWE
 MONEY LENDERS S6o. .o0o, 900
Federal Action Suggested as an Ef-
 fective Remedy to Usury,

Dallas. Texas, March 1S.-Two wit nesses today before the federal com mittee on industrial relations, at it's land question hearing here, testified that they believed landlords are not responsible for hardships in the pres ent land tenant system. These wit nesses were E. J. Giddings, an attor- ney of Oklahoma City and Professor Charles B. Austin of the University of Texas.
 MT. Giddings said that in Oklahoma farmers owe banks and ,other money lenders s60, 100000, of which about $40, COG, 900 is loaned at usurious rates He estimated that usurious rates ranged from twenty to two hundred per cent. and suggested federal action as an effective remedy to reduce usury
 Describing conditions in the former Indian Territory section of Oklahoma as extremely bad for tenant farmers he said:
 "This is not due primarily to tyranny by landlords nor to lack of thrift in
