PROTESTS AGAINST
 USE OF IRISH NAMES
James Buckley Wants Commission to Put 8 Stop to Fast Growing
 Practice.

New York, Jan. 20-James Buckley l the boxing promoter, appeared before the State Athletic Commission yester- day as the champion of the Irish race First of all, MT. Buckley explained that he was an American citizen, but was also of good old Irish stock. He proposed that the commission pass a rule prohibiting fighters with unpro- nounceable names from taking Irish names. MT. Buckley stated that any man, no matter what his race was, who could not get along on his own name was no good
 He cited several instances of fighters who have brazenly taken Irish names simply to hide their own nationality and make an appeal to Irish-Ameri- cans, who as class are fond of box ing. He said it was a disgrace to the Irish race. Chairman Wenck of the commission agreed with MT. Buck ley that it was not the right thing for those who decided to enter the prize ring to take an Irish name. If there was any Way to stop it, Chair man Wenck said he would be glad 70 do it.
 Chairman Wenck stated that he has appointed a new staff of inspectors, Twenty-Five to serve in Brooklyn and twenty-five in New York The commits s1oners will meet the inspectors at their offices today and tomorrow and and will give them emphatic instruc- tons about their duties. The com mission has appointed William A. Smith supervising inspector for New York, with John l.. Mccarthy as his assistant Charles $. Williamson has been aDpOjnted SuperViSinp ipSpector in Brooklyn, with Charles Schoenecll as his assistant.
 The commission also announced that boxing in the state ormories was a dead issue. The Seventy first Regi- ment, which was the only military or ganization to receive boxing permit. has decided to surrender it's license to the commission.
 The Grupp Athletic club of 116th street was granted a boxing license and the Little Falls A. C., which ap piled for a permit to hold boxing shows, was refused one It seems that the Little Falls club has already held one boxing show, although. it had ra- celVed no license. For this violation of the state law the application v:os rejected.
 The case against the Genesee A. c of Syracuse for permitting a boxer who is said to have been physically unnt to appear at their show was tab led until the commission goes to Svr.- cuse on Jan. 2S to hear all the evi- dence in the case
 The commission has not finished ;+., revision of the boxing rules but these will be announced in a fau, a,,r.

When Old Doc Time beckons up the highway of sport they all follow-the braves and the best with the rest of the field that. has served its term under the banner of the game.
 So for 1916 it will be of some in terest to see just how many drop from the ranks or fade into the mists where even the greatest are soon forgotten hy a ficl1le public that only remem- hers what you are today-not what you used to be. The past counts but little in a game that moves with such swiftness where so many come and go and where the places of those who fall are so quickly taken by others waiting for the chance

1 in a position to tally at this point. J. i Humphreys, the big Princeton cover l point drove the puck more than half | way down the rink in the directio on 1 of the Yale net, after taking it from l Gould. The rubber missed the net 1 and went sailing to the back board It rebounded almost directly in front Of the Eli goal, and Cushman, break ing through the Yale defense, pushed It past Yorke and scored the first point for Princeton.
 Ford put up a sterling exhibition for Princeton at goal, and while he did not appear quite as brilliant as Orke, for the reason perhaps that he was not called upon so frequently to ward off attacks, he was just as ef- fective.
 ale fought hard to get the upper hand at this stage, but the issue was settled in minutes and 23 seconds af- ter the start of play in the second half when Peacock accepted a back pass from Sheen at an acute angle for the Yale goal and, with a difficult drive poked it into the net which had been left unguarded when Yorke took part in scramble for the puck
 Three centre men were used by Yale in their efforts to triumph. Van Nos trand, who started at this position was relieved by Buchanan and when the latter was shifted to right wing to re- place Armour, Dickey came into the fray.
 There were only few moments in the second period when there was neither a Yale nor Princeton player spraWling on the ice. The referees overlooked a lot of rough work, for one side was as guilty as the other.
 Captain Peacock played a splendid game for Princeton and kept the rub Der in Yale territory most of the time by ms sterling work. Humphreys was also a strong factor on the offense and defense for the Orange and Black seven. Hills, Schoen, and Scully were always in the middle of the fight. The lineup and summary:

A syndicate of Provi- dence men, headed by John A. "DaH' Cannon. the former Brown UniVer- sity athletic star obtained an option on the Grays, but this expired Tues day, the syndicate failing to purchase the club. The Providence club has teen regarded as the farm for MT. Lannin's worlds champion Red Sox.

Five Pitchers.

Five of these belong to the greatest contingent of pitchers brought for ward in fifty years of play-Mathew- son, Brown, Walsh, Fucker and Plank. What a staff that would have made for any club with all five in their Lrime!
 This doesn't mean that all five are to go, but no one of the five is certain to start another campaign beyond this springs mobilization. Mathewson is still doubtful in regard to his neck and shoulder trouble, where his nerve centers are badly worn away. There is a chance that 1916 will be his clos ing campaign. All depends on how the old salary whip and adjacent neck muscles thaw out this spring.
 Walsh has been practically out of it for two years. But last season he vas able to win a game or two. 1916 will probably wind up his career. Miner Brown had a good season with the Feds, but the Three-Taloned mar vel is now forty years old, and he, too, is edging toward the shadows Ed Plank, one of the games greatest rlarvels was still almost as effective as ever, although he had passed his fortieth year. But the Gettysburg Guide is closer to the border at last. Nap Fucker has had arm trouble for the last two years, so no one can tell what 1916 will hand him before October. But of the five pitching stars mentioned, who have served an average of more than twelve years, at least three are doomed to hand in the old uniform and take their places with the birds that used to be.
 Wagner and Lajoie.
 The requiem has been sounded for Hans Wagner and Nap LajOie ever since Hector was a pie-eyed pup. When we were still a toddling infant we recall that the sportive gossip of the day was to the effect that old Hans and cid Larry were about through.
 But each year they come back and crack the pill on the proboscis or spear the festive grounder with aban- don and eclat. Still they can't go on forever. Their places in balldom s sun must soon be taken. Hans is forty-one Or more. Larry is forty. They have served twenty years each on the skinned plots back of the green turfed infe1d They have outlasted the average player by nearly a dozen seasons.
 Both DE ana powerful, they have stood the strain of the game where smaller frames would have curled up. And through most of this period not even Doc Time could blur the bright ness of their batting eyes. They may go through 1916 and hold their places without a slip. But to go on beyond into another campaign is hardly prob able. Although, so far as the Flying Dutchman is concerned, we refuse to predict his finish until a full month has elapsed after he has turned in his uniform and nailed his old glove to the cabin wall.
 AS for Hal Chase, one of the greatest of all first basemen, Hal seems to be pointed toward the minor border Hal, through his excessive Hopping from spot to spot and league to league, isn't the most popular bloke in the game with the controlling powers. Most of them would be much obliged to observe Hal drop out for good,so another star is fairly sure to fade this summer.

Willard in the meanwhile has inn proved immensely. Like a traveller starting from the south pole he was forced to head north. And Moran is, of course, we'll above MT. Morris, the Sapulpa Spiral.

The Narragansett Bay Yacht Rac- ing association is making an effort to arouse interest in yacht racing for next season. It is said that a mistake had been made last summer in abolishing prizes during the race week, for the erroneous impression was created that the rule applied to all the races of the year, and as a result the competition fell off con- siderably. During the Lext season it is expected there will be plenty of cups and prizes.

Further complications have arisen over the Newark club of the Interna- tlCna1 league. Charles H. Ebbets of the Brooklyn club at one time owned the team, but he transferred all the stock to a company headed by Messrs. Solomon and Medicus. It is stated that MT. Ebbets still has an interest in some of this old stock, although the franchise was declared forfeited ty the league. Mr. Ebbets, it was said yesterday, will apply to the Ma tional Commission to ascertain if the stock which he posses still has a value in the baseball market. If it has, he intends to collect.

 Manager Stallings of the Boston Ma tionals announced yesterday that it had not been found possible for his club to exchange training camps with the New York Americans. The Braves had arranged for spring head quarters at Miami, Fla, but stallings desired to return to his old camp at Macon, Ga.
