Sixteen Games viii Be Played
in Southland by "BHI"
Garlou's Crew.

| BuCKHANNoN. March 1S.-The
Wesleyan baseball schedule as an
nounced complete by Director STAINS
bury today is the finest that has ever
been arranged for any Wesleyan ath-
letic organization. Thirty-two games
ure on the card, and sixteen of those
will be played on one extended jaunt
into the South. This trip starts next
! Tuesday and the entire number OF
games will be played against the. very
best opposition to be found in the
southland. The two weeks of vacation
decided upon by the faculty yesterday
is especially advantageous to the base
ball men as It makes this delightful
trip possible with the missing of only
two days OF classes.
The other features of the schedule
are the West Virginia and Washington
and Jefferson games. West Virginia
plays ono game here, one is played in
Fafrmont and the other in Morgan
town. All three of the series with
Washington and Jefferson are staged
on theSWesleyan field here. Last year
West Virginia won three straight from
Wesleyan but the Methodists hope to
turn the tables the coming season.
The Washington and Jefferson series
resulted. in an even break both in 1914
and 1915 and Wesleyan expects to
break the tie during the coming con-
G!cts.
For three weeks or more regular
practice has been going on here for
the team. In spite OF the snow and
rain practices have been held each day
and between forty and fifty men have
constantly been ont for the team. As
a result the pitchers especially are in
good shape the galaxy OF stars TINT

NEW YORK. March lS.-Chairman
Wenck, Of the New York State Athletic
Commission, stated today that the ar
ransements made by the management
of Madison Square Garden and the
promoters of the Willard-AIOran. bout.
which is to be fought here next SAT-
urday night, are satisfactory in every
detail to himself and the other two
commissioners. He expressed gratifi-
cation at the manner in which the
sale Of tickets had been conducted.
He felt assured, he said, that the po-
lice arrangements as we'll as the en-
forcement Of the non-smoking rule,
issued by Fire Commissioner Adam
son, would insure the safety Of the
spectators and prelude as far as pos
Sible unfnyorable criticism.
The sale Of tickets has been so brisk
that every seat has been disposed of
with the exception of the gallery res
ervatioEs, which will be put on sale
next Thursday. No tickets will be
sold at the box Office on the day of the
bout and no one without ticket will
be allowed to pass the police lines
that evening.
Willard took brisk walk and a
couple of short runs in Central Park
this morning. Later, he went through
bout Of ten minutes with the pullies,
punching the bag and shadow boxing.
He boxed three rounds each with
Hempel. Monahan and Rodel and then
wrestled with Rodel for three minutes.
The champion worked fast all the way.
Moran celebrated his twenty-ninth
birthday by taking three mile run
oven the Westchester roads early in
the morning. He took only light gym
nasium exercise this afternoon and
boxed five rounds in all with his three
sparring partners. The Pittsburg man
never looked in better condition. He
is careful not to overdo any Of his
many stunts and he is anxious to en-
ter the ring as heavy as possible, but
declared today he did not think he
could reach 205 pounds. He turned
the scales today at POI pounds.
