URGES MORE BABES FOR
RICH; FEWER FOR POOR

New York, Dec. 26-"If the nation is
to sustain and prosper, every married
woman capable of bearing children must
as an average bring to maturity at least
three" said DR.. Robert ]. Sprague, of
Massachusetts,, in a paper read before
the American Genetic Association today.
Ten thousand scientists are attending
the meetings of the society and of the
American Association for the Advance
ment of Science.
What the nation needs, Dr. Sprague de-
clared. was birth control among the very
poor classes and birth release among
the upper classes; an equalization Of child
bearing.

SPRING SERIES
 IN NEW YORK
 AROUSES FANS

New York, March 8-If spring basea ball games are to be regarded as accounting for anything, we may this year have the first real city champion since the American league invaded the town in 19O3 The Giants have, of course, met the Dodgers often enough, the Yankees have played the McGraW clan, and the Superbas have met the local American leaguers, but never have we had a set of contests such as is scheduled for early next month.
 The Yankees and the Superbas will open their series on Tuesday, April 4, and will also play on the 9th and the 11th. On Friday, April z, the Yankees and the Giants will inaugurate their first spring series at the Polo Grounds and will continue it on the 8th and the 10th. It is figured that these ante season games will give local fans a rather clear impression as to which of the three home outfits is the best and which deserves the runner-up posi- ton.
 When the series between the Giants and the Yankees was arranged it was not hailed with general delight. Those in enforced attendance at previous meetings of the Manhattan clubs branded the series as 8 foolish piece of business, but happenings since then have vindtcated the judgment of the club officials.
 When Ebbets Field was opened three years ago, the Yankees, under the new leadership of Frank Chance, drew a $16,O00 gate for the series with the Dodgers. How much more ought the fYanks and the Giants attract if the weather is propitious? The addi- tions to the Giants and Tanks have created new interest in both outfits. The only danger lies sn the possibility that the series will take the edge off the opening of the championship sea son here. That would hurt the Yan- kees, who will start the ball a-roIIing with Washington on April 12.

Gandil Should Be Great Help To Lee
 Fohl In Cleveland
Ruffalo Enquirer )

When Arnold, Gandn joined the Washington club upon Decoration day, 1912, the Nationals were in sixth place with a percentage of .457, having won IT and lost 21 games. With e1l- actly the same team except that Gam dil had replaced Flynn upon first base, Grifffth's aggregation proceeded to come west and set a league record of IT victories. It won one at Boston Memorial day afternoon, took four straight St. vLouis,4 the, same mum Der at Chicago, ditto at Detroit, three in Cleveland. and returned home to win the seventh in 3, row from the Athletics.
 Those / 1T consecutive victories aal- vanced the Nationals from sixth place with a, mark of .61s and Clark Grif5th always has averred that GanddI did it. Gandil, himself, made 27 hits in the IT games.
 Because Gandi1 has gone back as a player but little since 1912 is one req son why Manager F'ohl asked James C Dunn. the prospective president of the Washington first baseman, as the Indian manager believes that Gandfl. may prove to be just the man that Cleveland needed, just as Washington needed him in 1912.
 'T can point out to you,'' said Fohl, a few days ago, ''where we lost 20 games last year because of mistakes at first base. With a player with the intelligence of Gandl and his mechan- icaI ability, first base should be played as it has not been played in Cleveland since George Stovan was in his prine.''

QUITS YALE CREW
 BECAUSE OF HIS
 COLLAPSE IN RACE

New Haven. Conn. March S.-Reg- ina1d G. Coombe of New York city, called by Guy Nickalls, head coach of the Yale University crews, the most perfect oarsman of his age, has with drawn from the Yale rowing squad and from the varsity crew, and has begun work as assistant to Charlie Wiman coach of the freshman eight. k Coornbe rowed No. in the race against Co1unbia, last fall on New Haven harbor. and collapsed just af- ter the one-rnile mark. Examinations by physicians after the race and since that time have shown beyond any question that the collapse was a ner- vous one, and one which in all prob ability would not recur in years of rowing.
 The retirement of Coombe from com petition for the place in the varsity boat was entirely voluntary and made after nearly four months of consider atfon by the young oarsman, who be- lieved that there was a, possibility that his presence in the boat in some fu- ture contest might have a bad psy- chological effect on some other mem bers of the Yale crew because of his collapse in the Columbia race and that it would not do for the self-confidence of future crews to have him at No. '.

Athletics Have Bunch
 of Unknown Recruits

American League fans will find the score card a handy adjunct wherever the Athletics appear this season. Little strangers galore will be shipped to Jacksonville for spring training and even Connie Mack will need an identi- fcation bureau for ready reference during the early hours of the pennant campaign.
 In scanning the list of talent assem- b1ed on the Quaker City machine, it is found that only one of the new corners is a heavy swatting person.
 Stel1bauer, outfelder from the Three I League, hit 1901 in 196 times last season Catcher Murphy, late of the New York State League, sIugged ,292 and Pick, outfie1der from the In ternational club, clubbed .291.
 Perkins, another maskman, hailing from Raleigh, topped all rivals, in fielding in the North Carolina circuit with .390 in 115 engagements
 The six hur1ers, all but two coming made mediocre showings. Majors with 12 victories and one defeat was second among the he1ders in the Georgia Alabama circuit, while Myers with 29 and 0 ranked first in the North Car o1ina organization Ray, another pro- duct of this circuit, trailed 29th among 30 slabmen with eight winners and 20 upsets against another tough season

Ollie o'Mara 24 Today

Ollie O'Mara, the clever little Rhortstop of the Brooklyn Dodgers, will pass his twenty-fourth base in life to-day. having been born on March 8, 1892, in that dear old St fAooey. The Mound City trolley league, which has turned out many good players, was Divers alma na- ter. Ins1911 he was offered a job in
 a regular league by the Hannibal club of the Central Association. Ol- lie shortstopped so successfully in Mark Twafn's town that in the latter part of the 1912 season he was bought by Detroit He didn't fit into the Tiger scheme and was shipped ov to Providence, but the Saints also decid- ed that he wasn't ripe and released him to Evansville. Ollie was re- called in nid-season, but was again sent back to the Central League, landing with Fort Wayne. In 1914 Squire Ebbets bought him, and last season, the little fellow demonstrated that the Squire had used his bean when he made the deal. O'Mara, was the regular shortstop of the 1915 Su- perbas and his work helped a lot in the great race made by the club.

CROWD SEES BATTLING
 BOXING BOUTS
(BY Wa agner.)

With Wild Burt Kenny hurl1ng rights and 1efts in all directions you were as safe around the ringside last night as you would be in Verdun. Dumb Dan Morgan, seated in shirt sleeved majesty by the ringside, had to duck a few haymakers. In fact Kenny hit everybody but Battling Le- whisky with whom he was supposed to be picking a, quarrel
 The gallery fans didn't think the boys were very bIood-thirsty and there were frequent catcal1s and ready wit ticisms, such as ttOpen the c1ute,'' and Kenny, you're wanted on. the phone" After seeing Kenny and Levinsky put on their act we know why the Strat- ford squire can box seven or eight bouts a week. He had every move of Kenny's filed away in the card index.
 Levinsky simply fddled around and when he felt inclined he gave Kenny a jab. Kenny did a lot of rushing but his sense of direction was bad. If you sent him to Southport he'd wind up in Hard's Corner. There was not enough action to suit the crowd and voicing their opinions. If any de- cision had been given it would have gone to Levinsky by a wide margin.
 The rooters, who crowded the Park theatre, saw several bouts that pleas ed them, however. The serni-fnal be- tween Bud Palmer of this city and Battling Kunz of South Norwalk was a. whir1wind. Kunz did much better than in his last appearance here. He went right after Palmer from the start and outpointed the local boy. The boxers weighed 138.
 Kunz is a hard hitter and he planted a fine collection of punches on Pal mer's face The latter took his pun ishment gamely, however. and fre- quently assumd the aggressive when a more tinid boxer would have been willing to quit. It was Kunz's bout
 The fans nearly raised the roof with their shouts during the Al Ketche1- Chic Brown affair. Brown is a, two handed battler who is willing to force the fighting every minute. He found Ketchel willing to meet him halfway and the result was that the excitement was never allowed to die out Even in the c1inches the boys whaled away at each other. They weighed 133.
 Brown in the early part of the bout carried the walIop to Ketchel and had In the last five rounds Ketchel inn proved vastly. He bothered Brown with his left and returned blow for blow. A draw would be a fair yer dict.
 Referee Terry Lee stopped the pre- lininary just as the last round started, as Young Brown was giving Young Johnson a bad beating.
 The crowd was the largest that has attended a local show in recent years and the members of the Clover A. C., who put on the card, were e1ated. The promoters are entitled to credit for carrying out the arrangements so per fectly. There were no annoying de- lays between bouts.

WILLARD AND
 MORAN TO BE
 READY AT 9.3O

New York, March S-Jess Willard end Frank Moran will enter the ring for their 1o-round battle in Madison o'clock. Tex Rickard has said it, and Tex Rickard always means what he says As a rule the main bout at box hng shows is put on at 10 o'clock, un- der a rule of the State Athletic Com mission which sets that hour as the latest tirne..
 The man who deals in big things, whether xcattIe ranches or boxing bouts, has set his heart on having everything run as smoothly on the I night of the bout as a, hwin-six motor. land to avoid any possible delay will linsist on the men facing each other Ia 4.1n hslf sh our earlier than the usual I sek timeA
 This decision is sure to meet with lths hearty approval of those who are lplannfng to see the battle The pre- EIirninary bouts will serve simply to whet appetites, and the sooner the lbig men are ntroduced the happier Ethe crowd will be.
 TO avoid possible congestion about tthe Garden on the big night, and to make it easier for those who hold ma their seats Mr. Rickard decided yesterday to put the $5 and $3 tickets on sale four or five days before the bout, instead of on the same evening. l as originally planned.
 No wiser decision could have been made. The number of these cheaper seats is limited. and in all propapllty s six times as many men will try to buy them as there are tickets to go around TI5s would invite serious conse- ! oiences, perhaps, and lead to d1s- i turbances outside the Garden, which l now can be avoided
 Tn a further effort to keep the I tickets out of the hands of specula- tors. no person will be allowed to buy more than two of these cheaper
 tickets. No pains areE being spared I bk Rickard and others Interested in handling the boa @ pEpkE ct he pub
 All the $10 seats have been sold and of the boxes, including the two new rows lately put in, only 14 are
 left. There are plenty of SEQ and SIS seats left. however, and some $25 arena seats, which it is insisted are as good as any in the house
