KANSAS CITY BOXER SHINES.
Roy Hclton Knocks Out Meyers of
 New York in First Round.

Boston, April 4.-Trial bouts in the national amateur boxing champion ship tournament furnished plenty of sport for the 5000 spectators as sembled in Mechanics hall last night. Roy Helton of the Kansas City A. C. proved the sensation in the 145 pound class. He dallied with +. Meyers of the Union Settlement A. C. about a minute in their first round and then uncorked a left hook that put the New Yorker soundly to sleep. In the same division Elmer Laplance of Detroit won over George Harrison of Boston, Engene Brosseau of Mon lreal defeated A. Colaianni of Pitts burg and Martin Burke of New Orleans defeated Mark Coretts of Roxbury.
 Tn the 125 pound division Dave Brown of Toronto won from Fred Hamilton of the Union Settlement A. C. of New York. George EtceH of the Union Settlement won from Mike Snyder of Boston in the 10S pound class. Ben Volger of the Educational Alliance, New York, defeated Will liam Corbett, the New England 113 pound champion. The crowd jeered the judges for giving the decision to Joseph Vetke of Detroit in his bout with J. Sullivan of New York.

Another Shock.

Tn the course of the evening two ether men dropped in but the visitor failed to catch their names. They were both fashionably dressed, yet without any touch of f1ashiness.
 Tn conversation they were quiet, pleasant. aggressive in argument and well Versed on the general topics of the day. They talked very little baseball. Their diction was without q flow. There was a certain dignity in the bearing of both that was dis tinctve
 The visitor was surprised to hear they were ball players. ''Umpiring, he said after they had left. must he pretty easy now with men of that sort in the game. Who are they?"
 When he heard that they were Johnny Evers and Lee Magee. two of the hardest fighters, two of the most aggressive. scrappy stars of the pro- fession, he came near fainting.
 'I give it up,' he said. "If that first fellow was a peaceable player and these last were Evers and Magee, there's nothing left in appearances"

The college baseball season really starts this week. Brown, Dartmouth,
 Yale, Williams, Holy Cross, Tufts and others will play their first games in the next few days and most Of the . others have already mixed in tussles with rivals.

The Navy again has Blogett, it's crack pitcher of a year ago, ard Inc appears to be in for another fine season. Amherst, on it's southern trip is shaping up well for team that went South from indoor practice only and when the weather became more suitable for baseball Amherst will surely make itself look live and snappy.
 Tomorrow Holy Cross will open it's season at Princeton. This is an especially hard game for an opener and the Worcester boys mays find some trouble in trying to connect with Links twists. Brown will open

 Rhode Island state will be the first of a long line of victims. Coach Harry Pattee seems to have an unusually fine set of candidates this spring. Dartmouth will open up with Ford-

\ Case ill Point

Here is a case in point. While we were at a Southern training camp this spring a visitor who knew very little about baseball came up to the room one night. While he was there one of the players dropped in for Il snort flaming bee. He had a big chew of tobacco in his mouth, a cap pulled over one eye and a fine output Of profanity in his general conversa- ton.
 After tho athlete had left the visitor remarked: Say, I'd hate to umpire a game with that fellow in il. I guess he is one of the tough type that would bite off an car if things didn't go to suit him."
 He was surprised to hear that the player in question was one of the most pleasant hammered entries in the game, and had never been ut off the field, rarely protested a de- cision and was never on the hunt for any sort of trouble. It was over his bean.
