PENN WON'T LET COACH NICKALLS
 OF CREW RETIRE

Philadelphia, Pa, July 2.-The University of Pennsylvania Rowing Committee will not consider the resig- nation of Vivian NicAalIs, the rowing master, and he will be asked to fill the remaining term of his contract which expires in the fall of 1916-
 The English coach sent in his resig- nation early in the spring, when the second call to arms came in England. The soIons at Penn kept him back, and Nickalls, learning that he was past the age limit, forty years, de- cided to remain. but said he would retire after the Poughkeepsie regatta Consequently he asked the rowing committee to release him. The com rnittee to a man thinks that Nickal1s has the system and that only wretch ed luck killed his chances this year, and they will not permit him to resign
 this season. They will not even con sider the matter at the meeting of the committee.
 Billy Chickering captain of the Red and Blue crews, is anxious to have the big Englishman re-engaged, for he exonerates NickaIls completely from all blame for the poor showing made by the Pennsylvania crews in the Poughkeepsie regatta.

GUNB0AT@ SMITH
 LOSES FIGHT 70
 CHARLEY WElNERT

New York. July 2-In one of the most interesting bouts between heavy weights held in New York for some time Charley Young Weinert. of Newark, decistvely outpointed and de- feated 'fGunboat'' Smith, of Califor- mia, at Ebbets Field last night The youngster from Newark, jabbed, hook ed and slapped Smith continually, making the veteran appear in the light of a novice.
 Weinert was a decided improve ment over his previous starts, boxing cleverly both defenstvely and offens- ively- Especially did Weinert make Smith look bad when trying to con meet with his wild swings, each of which fell feet short of their mark. Weinert was a finished boxer up against a one punch product of the ring, and he never at any time was in danger. winning as he pleased.
 Weinert forcefu1Iy drove Smith back to the ropes repeatedly after the fifth round, and the Gunner took refuge in rushing into clinehes to save himself A hard right to the jaw in the sixth rocked Smith and sent him staggering on to the ropes. Smith managed to use his straight left jaJb at times, and this blow had the cut on Weinert,s cheek bleeding contin- uaI1y.

ROCKER DEFEATS
 GIANTS BY USING TEASING SLOW BALI

New York, July 2.-Three Giant pitchers -Messrs. Jeff Tesreau, Rube Sehauer and Ferdinand Schupp- failed to check the attack Of Gen Wi1bert Robinson and his Flatbush Clan on Gen. John McGraw and his former National League champions over at Ebbets Field yesterday, with the result that the NGcGraWttes dropped their second straight game 70 the Robins, this time by the score Of to 2. Only a few points now sepa-- rate the Giants and the Robins for sixth place.
 Old Nap Fucker, the once great southpaw of the Robins, was the chief gunner for the boys on the wre,ng side of the bridge. old Nap just slow-baIIcd the Giant batters to a slow death. Particularly so when the Giants got on the. bases and threatened to dent the home plate. Twelve hits the McGrawites corFa1led off the slow teasers of Fucker, yet they managed to score only twice Nap and his knuck1e ball apparently has something on the Giants. for the other teams has mauled the south paw numerically this season.

After winning several anna teur lightweight title tournaments pulled off by Billy Madden, McAuHffe challenged Jimmy Mitchell to fight for the American professional cham pionship- Mitchell refused, and Jack claimed the honor. and defended it against Billy Frazier, whom he knocked out in Boston in 18S6 The following year Harry Gilmore gave Jack a hard tussle, and he also fought draws with Jimmy Mitchell, Billy Frazier, Martin Snee and Jim Car ney, the English lightweight cham pion. The latter had the best of it !in "A rounds, but the referee called 1t draw. His next big contest was with Billy Myer. the Illinois s'Cy- clone and in 1880 he knocked out Jimmy Carroll in the filth round at San Francisco. In 1892, after suc- cessfuIly defending his honors against Myer, Frazier and Young Grifro aJck retired undefeated

Your true diplomatist Is nothing II
not touchy concerning his own dignity

was negotiated in 1899.
The war between Austria and Tur-
key, which led to the siege Of Vienna
by the Turks, had just been brought
to an end by the battle Of Zenta, in
which Austria was victorious. Prince
Eugene at once gathered the diplomats
Mt Karlowitz, in Croatia, to dictate the
terms of peace, but for weeks the con-
gress made no progress because the
representatives could not agree as to
their proper positions in the council
hall. That the representative Of EN-
peror Leopold should have the seat OF
honor was taken for granted, but the
other parties to the congress-the
Turks, Russians, English. Dutch, Poles,
Venetiaps-all clamored for the next
highest seat.
Finally the situation became SO crit

would never be negotiated. So drastic
