ANNIVERSARIES
 OF RING BATTLES

1911-Jess Willard knocked out Ed Burke in 3rd round at Fl Reno, Okla This was the second ring battle of the future champion, and although Jess was still awkward and slow he showed a considerable improvement over the form he had displayed in his first bout with Louis Fink at Sapulpa, which he lost on foul. In the weeks that intervened between his first and second bouts, Jess did a lot of thinking and training. Having no knowledge of Jess other than what they had read about the Sapulpa af- fair, the Ell Reno sports didn't expect much from the cowpuncher, and they were somewhat surprised when Jess landed a clean knockout in the 3rd chapter. Having demonstrated that he had punch, Jess was anxious for another whack at Fink, his first an tagonist and a match was made. The fight was staged in Oklahoma City about three weeks after the victory of Jess over Burke, and instead of Jess acting as receiver general, as in the previous session, he waded in and gave Louis a thorough drubbing, end ing the fight with a left jab in the 3rd round.

SHORTEN LIKELY TO
 BECOME UTILITY MAN
 IN RED SOX OUTFIELD

Boston, March 7-Char1es H. Shor- ten. the outfieIder secured by the Red Sox from the Providence Club of the International League last year sent his signed contract to President J. J. Iannin of the worlds champions yesterday. Shorten, whose home is in Scranton, Pa, writes he is perfectly satisfied with the conditions named in the contract which carries an increase over the figures of a year ago, be- fore he was turned over to the Provi-, denee club.
 Shorten was with the Worcester club in 1914 and last spring went south with the Red ESox. He had trou- b1e with his arm at the start, the cold weather at Hot Springs making it inn possible for him to show his best. He was turned over to Manager Dave shean. of the Providence club and was star, hitting, throwing and fielding well enough to have Owner Lannin recall him for the Boston Club atathe tail end. of the American LeagER season.
 Just what Manager Carrigan. will doE Ith Shorten is not known, be cause the club now has Speaker, H66per, Lewis and HenriksonE There is no chance of him beating out Duff, Iris or Harry; but it is possible he may be carried along in place of Hen rflxson, as it has been intinnated waiv- CTS have been asked upon the Can ton boy.

COMMISSION
 TO DECIDE JOHNSTON'S
 KICK AGAINST BROOKLYN

New York, March 7-The supreme court of baseball has been asked to rule on the case of Jimmy Johnston, the hard hitting outhelder whose two year contract with the Newark club of the Federal league at $4.O0O a year was assigned to the Brooklyn club when the peace agreement went into effect.
 The papers were mailed yesterday to Cincinnati by Dave Fu1tz, president of the Baseball Players Fraternity.
 Charles H. Ebbets, chief owner of the Brooklyn Superbas, offered John ston a contract calling for $3,OOO a year with the ten-day release clause included. This the player refused to sign, largely because of the ob- jectionabIe clause, and as MT. Eb- bets was tnsistent and no. agreem ent could be reached, Johnston decided to stand on his old Federal league con- tract.
 The National Commission must now decide a question which will es- tablish a precedent for a number of cases of the same kind and which may be far reaching in it's effect.

KINGSTON AGAINST
 RIBBONS TONIGHT

When they face the Kingston, N. r., five of the Interstate league tonight, the Blue Ribbons will use the same lineup that beat all corners last sea- son. Leonard will be back at center in place of the deposed George Smith and Roxey Roach will return to guard. The Kingston boys won the championship in the first half of the Interstate season and are likely to up- set the Ribbons.
 Johnson and Bruggy, the speedy forwards, are apt to bother the Rib bons Tome, the center. will make Leonard hustle, and the Kingston guards are also good. The Ribbons have a bad habit of willing at the finish but it is hoped that they will fight to the bitter end at Colonial hall tonight The usual preliminary will start at 7:45.

STRANGLER LEWIS PUTS SEVEN WRESTLERS DOWN
 IN ONE HOUR CONTEST

New York, March 7-Strang1er Lewis, who agreed to throw four wrestlers in an hour or forfeit $500 to each, kept his agreement last night in Madison Square Garden. Lewis or the management increased the mum Der to seven, but as Announcer Joe Humphreys told the spectators, none of them were champions. Lewis dis posed of the whole lot in about twen- ty minutes.
 The first victim was Hans Fuerst, who lasted exactly two minutes, when his shoulders were pinned to the map with a body hold. Soon after Albert Miller was introduced, he was downed with a body hold in the record time of three seconds.
 VogeI, Nelson, Schil1ing and Far mer Bailey were the others. The last named made the best showing, as it took Lewis five minutes and thirty five seconds to throw him with 8 body and scissors hold

Phi1adelphia, March 7--Bert Niehon of the Phfuies may not be 9 John Evers nor even a Jack Barry around second base He seldom gets his pie
 ture in the papers, and when he does his appearance is not charming. Even more they talk now and then of the PhilIies needing a second base1nan to fully round out theet team All of which indicates Bert is 1luf rated as a star exactly, but just the same he seems to get there, and that's the main point. Bert has been knocked about a good deal in his time, up and down between majors and minors like the end of a. teeter board. but after every down he always comes back smiling, and he continues to smile. He will be the PhiILes' second baseInan again this year and will do, his full share of the wor4not gracefully, but with that sort of Wagnerian effectiveness that counts. And the man he succeeded probably will be on the outside look ing in, which is just another testdmon- iaI that Bert Niehoff has made good

GIANTS HOPEFUL
 OF SETTLING WITH
 KAUFF VERY SOON

New York, March 7-President liar ry Hampstead of the Giants curtailed his vacation and returned to his of fee yesterday presumably to adjust the Benny Kauff tang1e. The New York club paid big price for Kauff and is anxious to have him report at Marlin to get in condition for the coming season.
 Kauff has been stubborn in his ne- gotiations with the club, but it was statecd yesterday that the matter would be settled to Kaun's liking within a day or two.
 Kauff is training much after the fashion of Jess Willard and Frank Moran. Each morning he leaves his hotel in F7orty-f1fth street and takes a long run through Central Park. In the afternoon he goes to the New York Polo A. A., where he does gymnasium work for more than an hour. He skips rope, boxes with his trainer and punches the bag. Kauff said yesterday that he is in better condition than most of the ball play CTS in the south. It is expected that Ka.un will make peace with the New York club within the next few days.

HOT WEATHER IN
 TEXAS PUTS STOP
 TO GIANTS GAME

Marlin, Texas, March 7.-The Giants swe1tered in summer heat yesterday afternoon, and for the first time since he has been training his team here Manager McGraw felt it necessary to curtai1 practice game on account of hot weather. After five innings had haoo played, and four pitchers had been used up, the manager instructed Umpire Charley Dooin to declare Jim Thorpe the team winner over an az gregation headed by Rube Benton. The score was to 2.
 At that time a reading of the ther- mometer made McGraw seek the shade himself for a, few moments. It was 90 degrees in that shade, and much hotter in the sun, which bIazed down on the red-faced athletes.
 The Giants have never experienced such splendid training weather here. In fact, yesterdays temperature was a. but the heat was quite enervating, and it came on too quickly to be appreciat- ed by some of the players, who were moping around in various stages of spring fever.
 A home run by Sandberg, following a single by Thorpe and a double by Rodriguez, settled the practice game. Anderson and Perritt worked for the winners and Benton and Schupp for the losers.
 George Burns is the only regular outfelder here, and for the present George Kelly and Jim Thorpe may play the two vacant positions.

 PARODY ON fBOOLA'

Boston, March -''Bowl-a 5Bowl-a." is the way Harvard has revised the name of Yale's stBoo1a Boola' song in a revision that will be rendered at 1916 athletic contests. The parody was sung for the first time at the March banquet of the sophomore class last week. Well, again we seem To have the best team. And it's nobody's funeral but Yale's. They've shot their bolt And got such jolt You can pick them up at all the
