FANS SEEIHREE
 GOOD FIGHTS AND
 FEW KNOCKDOWNS
(By Wagner.)

ssssN toNs " $le5 11k33Esl
 Whsn far sss for a seal ln the front row ana then fails asleep there must be something the matter with the box fighters. And the night blooming fans who gath cred at the Park theatre last night were inclined to agree with Fritz that the Ketche1-Drummfe bout was noth- ing to tell the neighbors about.
 There was too much clinching to suit ths Pagulace In fact Johnny. Drum Sidney Clfnch him face without falling into the Yankee Boyss arms fora front parIor salute: FDrummte presents the strange case fof a boy who can fight if he wants to- But he doesn't want to when shes apS fpears before the crowned heads of around for 8 rounds and in the slast two sessions gave KetcheI a fine lac ing. The remainder of the time Drunrnte counted the house or thought of his bankrol1
 To sKetchePs credit it smust be said he WAS willing to mix 1t up and give the fans a run for their money. He early rounds but the Jersey City boy wasR't taking any chances. He hung on at tsewery opportunity and as he was Ketchefs master at close quarters Al had little chance to distinguish him self. Ketche1 made a good showing but Drummie was too clever att i'm fighting. Drummie's style is not pop ular In this city,s however, and al- though hes earned@ decision over Ketchel. the Yankee Boy will be a bet ter drawinE card than Johnny.
 In 4he semi-fnal Hugh Ross earned the p1audits Of the crowd by staying 10 rounds with Cowboy Charley Shands. Ross was hoored four times on. He is a clever fighter but lacks the steam in his blows Shands is a terrific hitter and even the swings he missed made a buzz like an electric fan.
 Kayo Moran, tho pride of East Bridgeport, knocked K 70. Palitz of New I5ondon.,to the canvas in the first round Of their six round affair Moran. who was taking part in the second bout of his ring career, thought his nights work was over and he started to walk away. His seconds yelled , that Palitz was getting up at the count of six so Moran went back to his 5oh He beat Palitz in the re- mainder of the bout. Moran has a great punch. He is, of course. in experienced in ring tactics but will undoubtedly make a name for himself if properly handled
 In the opener Kid Proto of New Haven beat Eddie Kelly of this city.
 With the exception Of fke main af- fair the bouts were exciting. The show was conducted with promptpess as all Matchmaker Holmes undertak- ings are. The crowd was of fair

Jim Coffey to Take
 On Jack Geyer Tonight

New York, April 1s.-Jim Coffey has picked out old stager for the first lap of his comeback dash toward Jess Willard and the heavywei ght championship. Those who have seen Jack Geyer perform in the West as- sert that the Roscommon boy will taste many a hefty punch to night at the Stadium A. C.. Furthermore, Geyer launches his best wa1lop from the right hand, a blow that Coffey al ways has had the most trouble avoid ing.
 It may be remembered that Al Reich caught Coffey flush with a right punch early in their battle and Moran toppIed Coffey twice with straight rights. All his training bouts have been organized to perfect Coffey's de- fence from right hand blows and his showing with Geyer will be watched with interest, because the Irish lad is keen for one more try at Frank Mo ran.

Killifer, Alexander's Battery Mate, May Be
 Through With Game

Bill KilIifer, the famous battery mate of Alexander the Great and one of the best backstops in the business until he put his wing on the blink last Fall. is thirty years old today. Bill tore the muscles in his throwing arm in a game last Labor Day, and since then his wonderful whip has given him a lot of trouble. Ki1ifer has been taking treatment in Los Angeles and New York during the off season, and at times the injured wing has seemed to be all right, but it is still a question whether Bill can stand the stress and strain of a long campaign. If he is forced to quit the game for good his loss will be a great blow to the Phillies. Killifer made an ideal catcher for Alexander, and they con stituted one of the best battery com binations the game has ever had.
 KilIifer was born in Paw Paw, Mich, April 13, 18S6,N and made quite a reputation at school and college be- fore he turned professional. His first engagement was with Kalamazoo, in the South Michigan circuit, in 1907. He finished the season with Jackson, in the same league, and in 1908 went to the Texas League he went to the Coast League and played in a number of games with the San Francisco Seals. In 1909 he returned to Texas and join ed the Houston club. His work a backstop left little to be desired, and in the Fall he was sold to the St.. Louis Browns. He spent a year in the Mound City, and then went to Buff falo and was purchased by the Phil lies from the Bisons. 'tRed'' Dooin's s broken leg gave Bill a, chance to catch regularly for the Phils, and he had developed into a star when the un- fortunate accident last September put him out of commission.
 Baseball seems to be in the veins of Do brother, Wade, has shown consider able ability and made a fair record last year in the outfeld of the Gin cinnati Reds.

(By W agner.

It was stated today that the Rem ington Arms officials have decided not to negotiate further with the Bridgeport club regarding the sub lease of Newfeld park but will con tinue plans for their new park, which they announced some time ago.
 The Arms people will put a fast team in the field and expect to play Saturday and Sunday games. Of course they realize they cannot bring big league clubs or any other mem Eers Of organized baseball here as an attraction but they will book good semi-pro clubs If they had come to terms with the Bridgeport club 1t would have been possible for the Arms team to play against organized ball clubs on Sundays when Bridge port was on the road.
 Neal Ball had a conference with the Toronto club owner in New York a few days ago. The local boy told the magnate he would retire rather th an play in Toronto but the forrper Red Sox star was <assured he would have to report or quit active playing. Ball is anxious to manage the Bridge port club and either he or Tommy Downey has a chance for the posi- tion.
 Players signed for the Bridgeport club have been ordered to report here on April IT. Newark oA the International league. will open the exhibition season with two games on Good Friday.
 Of the former F-ederals who took part in yesterdays games, Bill Lou den made the best showing. He got three hits for Cincinnati against the Cubs. F7ack Of the Cubs made two hits and so did Rousch of the Giants Ed Konetchy of the Braves also tore off a, couple.
