ANNIVERSARIES
 OF RING BATTLES

1s52-John Morrissey won on foul Mare Island, Cal. Morrissey, who la- ter became champion of America and afterwards a member of Congress. gained his first experience as a fighter while working as a deck-hand on Hud- son river steamboats. He went to was induced to meet Thompson, an English boxer. who was also known as Bot McLaren. There was much i'll feeling between Morrissey and Thomp- son. and they fought to satisfy a per- sonal grudge as well as for the s2.OOO hung up by the pioneer California sports. The great majority of the crowd backed Morrissey, but it was eufIy apparent that the Irishman was a novice at the game compared with the Englishman. Thompson knocked Ncrrissey down time after time. and when it was seen that the Hibernia n didn't have a chance to win fairly the crowd grew ugly. Revolvers and knives were drawn and flourished. and the EngIishman was warned that if he hurt MorrisSey he would be shot full of holes and carved into mince meat. The prospect didn't appeal to Thomp- son, who had few friends at the ring side to help him if matters reached a crisis, and in the 11th round he laid down and quit.

BOSTON VESSEL TROPHY WINNER
 AT MANHASSET

New York, Aug. 31.-Boston has won khe coveted Manhasset Bay Cup, and the trophy which seven Class P yachts from New England waters came down here to capture will rest dor a year at least m the trophy room of the Quincy Yacht club at Quincy, Mass. Ahmeek, sailed by the best sailor of Boston's Corinthian crowd, Charles Francis Adams, won the tro- phy on points by finishing first in the first race of the series, sailed in a hawling gale; third in the second, sailed in the lightest of winds; and fourth in yesterdays final race, which went through the stages of a fairly fresh wind, drifting match in dead calm and, at last, a good smart breeze from the southwest. This gave her 37 points.
 Mamma, the defender which repre- eented the Indian Harbor> club, scored but 34 points, finishing third in the first race, winning the second, and finishing seventh in yesterdays race. The next highest number of points, 31, was Gop " Wasaka, representing the South Boston Yacht club, which was second in the first and third races and tenth in the second. The latter yacht with ich Addison G. Hanan last year won the cup on Lake Michigan for the Indian Harbor Yacht club.
 Yesterdays race was won by Anita, the light weather boat among the New York representatives, owned by George Cranberry, and representing the New Rochelle Yacht club in the series. She was admittedly tht forlorn hope of the eefending fleet, but her owner and Fred W. Goeller, who was at the ti'ler during most of yesterdays race, showed winning tricks to all the other shippers and she won rather because of superior sailing and a good bit of luck than because she was the best boat in the fleet, which not even her owner will claim.

TWO PAIRS IN TIE AT SHENECOSSET
 FOUR BALL MATCH

New London, Aug. 31-Daniel F Healey of St. Andrews, paired with Jock Hutchinson of Pittsburgh, run- ner-up to Chick Evans in the national open championship at Minikahda, won the amateur-professiona four-ball contest here yesterday, after a tie with H. s. Lake of Hartford and Macdonald Smith, former metropoli- ton open champion. The amateur professional contest is a preliminary to the Shenecossett open tournament, which starts and ends here tomorrow with 36 holes of medal play.
 At the conclusion of the first round 1t was found that Smith and Lake had card of 3s out and 33 in for a total of II to balance a 35 out and 36 in for the same total credited to Healey and Hutchinson. The last named pair played the steadier golf, conf1ning their attention to getting every hole in from three to five strokes. Lake and Mcdonald Smith, however, took sixes on the outward Journey, and it took a liberal applica- ton of threes on the homeward trip to reduce the swelling sustained by the score before the turn was reached.

Philadelphia, Pa. Aug. 31.-Manager Mack of the Philadelphia Americans announced yesterday that Outf1elder Walsh had been released to the Bos- ton Red Sox.

WAR DEPT. CALLS
 I5,ooo SOLDIERS FROM THE BORDER

Washington, Aug. 31-Orders foI the return to their State mobiliza- tion camps of 15,OO0 national guards issued last night by the War Depart ment.
 Gen. Funston was directed to return three regiments from New York, two from New Jersey, two from Illinois two from Missouri and one each from California, Oregon, Washington and Louisiana.
 Twenty-eight companies of coast artillery troops also were ordered back to their stations, most of them being on the Atlantic coast.
 More Coming Home
 Secretary Bakers statement about the recall of the National Guard troops said:
 '1n view of the fact that substan- tially this number of troops who have not done patrol duty on the border are now on their way there. it is felt that this number can be spared. In a few days, if transportation facilities remain undisturbed, the department intends to order home some more regiments, and possibly to replace them with troops DOW in their mobi- lization camps in the several States. "
 Regiments to be sent home were not designated by number, and it is understood that their selection is left to Gen. Funston.
 Department officials think there is ample force on the border now to in- sure proper protection, and with the immediate gravity of the Mexican situation constantly lessening. it is not considered necessary to strengthen Gen. Funston's command.
 To Give All a Chance
 The policy now is to give all of the State troops called into the Federal service opportunity to see service on war footing along the international line.
 Withdrawal of Gen. Pershing's ex- petition in Mexico, which is expected to follow soon after the meeting of the MeXican-American joint connnis- sion at Portsmouth, N. H., probably will lead to the early return home of all the guardsmen. Pershing's troops. added to the regulars on the border, army officers think, would make the patrol sufficiently strong unless some new trouble developed.

 OVER THE WARD ESTATE

Joseph B. Morse of New Haven, former trustee of the Lucinda J. Ward estate, was sued in the civil superior court yesterday for $25,000 damages alleged to have resulted from his di- verting income from the estate to his personal use.
