 OF RING BATTLES

1S6O-Jem Mace began his battle with Bob Travers on the Thames, Eng. The famous, gypsy warrior was then at the beginning of his career. His oppo- nent was one of the best knwon negro boxers of that period, and had made a, good record in many big battles. The fight was for $500 a side, and a big crowd of fight fans accompanied the warriors to the scene of the contest. The fight had scarcely commenced when the authorities put a stop to it, and an adjournment was taken to- an- other county, where the battle was re- stunned on the following day. The black man made a good showing in the early rounds, but his blows scene d to have little effect on the gypsy, and after 57 rounds had been fought in 91 minutes the cullud gent got discour- aged and just naturally hunted a soft place and pumped himself down on it without a blow being struck. Bob's packers begged him to get up, but the black was obdurate, and insisted that he had had enough fighting for one day This fight greatly improved Jem's reputation, and a little later he took on Bob Brettle and wiped out the stain of defeat in an earlier contest with that reduobtable ring warrior.

FOREST HILLS TO

 FOR TENNIS TITLE

New York. Feb. 21-America's blue ribbon lawn tennis event, the 1916 al1-comers, will be held on the courts of the West Side Tennis club, Forest Hills, Monday, Aug. 28, and following days. The clay court cham pfonships will be started at the Lakewood Ten his club. Cleveland Monday, June 26.
 The date for the premier event is virtually the same as was chosen last year. It will bring the important part of the tournament on Labor Day, Monday, Sept. 4. With the fair weather that characterized last years tourna- ment, Labor Day this year should see the semi-ffnals in the singles and prob ably the challenge match in the dou- bIes.
 A feature of the meting at Forest Hills this year will be the democratic innovation of the junior and boys championships. Sectional winners from all parts of the country will as- senble at Forest Hills to fight it out for the championship and to help in terest the younger generation in the game. Predictions are freely made in tennis circles that the United States has by far the greatest number of competent junior players among the nations,

GOOD BOUTS FOR

YALE GOES BACK
 TO 3RD PLACE IN
 BASKETBALL RACE

New Haven, Feb. 2-Pennsy1vania. marched a step nearer the title in the intercollegiate Basketball league race by defeating Columbia last week, but the steady playing of the Princeton five and the return of Cornell to the court, each of which scored victories in the last six days, may dnterpose se- rious obstacles in the path of the Quakers in the final games of the se- ries.
 Yale, by reason of it's defeat at the hands of Cornell, dropped back to third place and, with a record of four games won and three lost, already seems well out of the trimming.
 The Princeton and Pennsylvania clash on Wednesday night, and this game should go far in determin in 2 the ultimate standing of the Quakers A victory will virtually clinch the title for the Penn five, for it would then only have to break even games to earn at least a, tie for the title Should Princeton win, however, it would be in a fair way to displace the Quakers.

RICHARD DENIES
 WILLARD TOO ILL
 TO BOX MARCH %

New York, Feb. 21-Tex Rickard, who is promoting the WilIard-Moran bout, denied today the reports of a probable postponement of the contest on account of the condition of the heavyweight champion. Rickard said that he had been in communication over the telephone with Willard s manager, Tom Jones, at Chicago, this morning.
 Jones assured me- said Rickard, that Willard had not suffered a re- lapse but ons the. contrary, he was much better and had been able to be out of bed yesterday. Jones expects to have Willard here by the end of the week, and I am positive that there will be no hitch in the arrangements now made toy have the men meet for 1os rounds in Madison Square Garden March 25.''
 Chicago, Feb. 21-DeniaI that Jess Willard was so ill as to make his ap- pearance in the ring with Frank Moran in New York March 25 doubt full was made today by Tom Jones, manager of the heavyweight cham pion. 'tA11 this talk about Jess being too i'll to train for the fight is wrong'' said Jones. Willard was reported to be suffering from the grip. At Will lard's home it was said the champion was suffering from neuralgia. It was also said that he had made no definite plans for beginning training.''

Heavyweight All over
 The only changes are in the feather weight, lightweight and welterweight classes.
 In revising the rules, the conmis- sion eliminated a lot of unnecessary verbiage and sinnplihed the code to a great extent. The rule which Chair man Wenck tried to have rescinded, prohibiting mixed bouts, is still in ciuded in the code. The rule forbid ding referees decisions is also in tact
 Under the new system, boxing cIuos will be watched by the inspectors closer than ever before. The tickets and box office statements will be care fully scrutinized, so that the state will be sure to get it's 1-2 per cent from each boxing show.
 In order to suppress the practice oa boosting prices. which has been done at some of the boxing shows, the com mission has passed a rule which pro tides that the price of tickets shall be printed in large type and displayed above all ticket sellers windows and shall not be varied
 The commission also prohibits the sale of tickets through boxers, their managers, or seconds. This practice , has been in vogue here for some time Many managers of clubs used it as a means to increase attendance by re- fasing to engage a boxer except with the understanding that he and his seconds should dispose of a certain number of tickets.
