HANDS
 WALTZ TRIMMING
 IN NEW HAVEN GO

FCBy "OId Man Grump" at Ringside.)
 The special train that pulled out of New Haven bound for Hartford short ly after midnight last night carried a gloomy bunch of Capitol City sports for had not Young McAuliffe of this city just handed a sound facing to Sammy Waltz, the much eoverrated Hartford featherweight? Indeed he had and sammy's upstate friends had one consolation. They were lucky their pride was not knocked out.
 McAuliffe captured 12 of the 15 rounds and tie other three were even He strained a ligament in the
 muscle of his right arm in the sec ond round which severely handicap ped him. It was evident after the second lround that Waltz was no match for the Bridgeporter. In the third round Mac put a solar plexus and two stiff jo1ts on Waltzs jaw and as the Hartfordite staggered about the ring in dire distress, some wag yelled, ttAw, leave him for the pie lures, Mac
 Tn the fourth round Waltz slipped to the floor as Mac landed a left on the jaw. It was not a clean knock down. Ten seconds later Mac pro- cured a clean knockdown at Waltz's expense when he drove a wallOping right against the point of Wa1tz's chin The latter was c1eanly floor ed while McAuliffe's followers from this city shook the rafters with ap- plause.
 In the sixth round Mac put seven wicked Iefts over on the chin of Waltz without the latter landing a clean blow in the round. In the eighth round Mac lifted the Hart fordite off the canvas with left to hhe jaw. The ninth round was amusing to the McAuliffe contingent of rooters. Waltz rushed Henry to | the ropes with a, heavy push and1the Hartford fans roared their approval 1 Waltz did not even land a punch in l this wild rush. In the tenth round l Mac. drew blood from waItz's nose 1 with repeated left jabs. The 11th and 18th rounds were McAuliffe's rby wide margins. In each of these | rounds he beIted Waltz about the ring and the latter showed the marks of an amateur. The 18th was Nc round by a, shade but in this | round Waltz drew blood from Henry's noses
 The last two rounds were even and | in these canters Waltz made his best showing of the evening. In the 14th

FREDDY WELSH IN BOUT WITH BENNY
 LEONARD TONIGHT

New York. March 31-The second worlds championship contest within six days will be seen at Madison Square Garden tonight Freddie Welsh, lightweight champion, is to defend his title for ten rounds against Benny Leonard, provided the bout lasts that long.
 But for the excitement caused by the ten round contest between Jess Willard and Frank Moran in the same ring last Saturday night the affair or this evening might be called the most important ring engagement of the season for local fans. Certainly there is every reason to believe that from a standpoint (of skill and. size the main elements that go to make up ring contest-the lightweieht battle should prove far more attrac- tive than the heavyweight bout turn ed out to be.
 Never since he won his honors rom Willie Ritchie in London has

he lifted McAulfffe off his feet with a hard right uppercut to the point of
 the jaw. Mac was turned complete
 ly around by the force of the blow
 but the lacing he gave that man Waltz
 during the remainder of that round
 was a caution to the Hartfordite. The last round was even with both boys as fresh as a daisy at the final bell. It was McAuliffe from start to fin ish.
 The articles called for 125 pounds ringside. McAuliffe weighed 123 IA in ring costume. Waltz tipped the scales at 124 1-2 ring costume. It was one of the cleanest fights seen in the Elm City in some time. Waltz giv- ing ground to the Brtdgeporter from the very start and the latter fighting a clean n1asterly battle. McAuliffe's coolness of manner during the entire bout. His showing last night was a wonderful improvement over previous fights.
 K. O. Palitz, of New London, stthe roughtest and dirtiest fighter in the state," said a New Haven man, got the decision over Battling Kunz in a 10 round encounter. PaHtz took five of the rounds, Kunz had two of them and the other three were even Kunz weighed 134 and PaIitz< 142 Five times during the bout PaIftz was warned by Referee Dave Fitzgerald to stop wrestling and three times he was cautioned after deliberately foul ing kunz. Kunz put up a game bat tie but was outweighed. He was loudly cheered as he left the ring while Palitz was hissed from the arena.
 A special train of four coaches brought 500 rabid followers of Waltz to the Elm City while the Bridgeport attendance was estimated at between 600 and 700 There was exactly D. 659 people in attendance. At the ringside was Dave Ryan, former well terweight of this city. Dave is now swinging the hammer in his black smith shop at Commerc and Silver streets in New Haven.
 All in all it was good entertainment ana the Br1dgeporters who made the l trip were we'll paid for their trouble. | They had plenty of McAuiffe money which was being offered at to 1 at | the r1ngs1de, but they were unable to | find any gamesters would would take the bets.

STOW STARS AS
 GIANTS WIN HOT
 CONTEST IN TEXAS

Fort Worth, Tex, March S1.-The k4Gaants got off to flying starttin their smnal game with the Fort Worth Pan- fafternoon, and by grace of that cir Icunnstance squeaked through to vic- tory to the score of to 3.
 Ray Kramer and Ferdie Schupp, gzwho twir1ed for the big league team, struck out round dozen of their op- ponents, but Schupp had one of his bad innings. Extra base hitting laid the foundation Of the victory for the Giants. In the second Artie Fletcher flaced the leather over the left centre field fence for a home run. Rousch singled in the same inning, Ngut to Isecond and scored on a single by Kra- Inner.
 Tn the fifth Doyle trip1ed and regis tered when Kaun drove a, long fly to the out1eId, and in the seventh FTet- cher singled and was driven home when Wendell hit the right centrefieId fence for three bases. The Panthers hit the delivery of Kramer frequently, but he had little difficulty in prevent ing any scoring. Ray kept his hits scattered, and the few times that he was in difficulty he struck out the bat ters.g Benny Kaum gathered in a sin gle for himself and had a sacrifice f1y to aid his average.
 The Fort Worth team has given the Giants the stiffest battles of any Texas league clubs. There are several pIa.y- CTS on the team that will make, the big league next season if they keep up their good work. Stow and Manda look especially promising. Bobby Stow made the star play of the game He ran at least half 9 mile to gather Mer- aSie's twisting fly in the eighth inning

Harvey Russell won't wear the spang1es of the Bridgeport club this season. The ladies' favorite has been awarded to New London by Secretary Farrell of the National association after a claim for the young backstop's services was filed by the local club. Russell jumped to the F'edera1s from Bridgeport in 1914. He played two seasons with the Ba1t1mo ore outlaws as second string catcher.
 When peace was declared a rule was passed that players who had been de- cIared free agents by the Federals should revert to the clubs in organ ized baseball from which they jump ed It was upon this point that Bridgeport based it's claim to Russell. Secretary Farrell ruled that Gene Me- Cam of New London had purchased Russell
 Bridgeport is also making a fight for the services of Pitcher Bill Her.. ring, who Iabored in the Colonial league last season. Secretary Red-t dy announced. last week that Herring had. been signed but Worcester also claims the player. When Fly Brewer was negotiating for the Worcester club he signed Herring but when the deal fell through Herring supposed he was a free agent so he accepted terms with the local club. The club which first filed with Secretary Farrell no tice of Herring's acceptance will get the player.
 Elmer Smith, the youngster who, played the outf1eld for Waterbury in 1914, is hitting hard for Cleveland in the exhibition games. Incidentally Cleveland seems to have picked up a good pitcher in Bagby, who held C4n- cinnati to three hits yesterday.

New Haven. March 31-James T. Collins, who is one of the executors of the Cameron estate and who vir- tually controlled the baseball inter ests of New Haven for a number of years, has taken over the Eastern League franchise and. will see that New Haven has a first class team in the league this season.

If the Progressive nomination had been

I don't intend to vote for Wilson.
I feel to the very bottom of my
heart that H. G. HASTINGS'S
ARTICLE STRIKES THE VERY
KEYNOTE FOR OUR HOPE for any
national legislation in our favor,
when he says, Gas you have often
said in substance):
$50 long as we are slaves to any
political party, we get nothing; and
the very best thing that could hap
pen to the State of Georgia and
other Southern States would be for
them to be just as uncertain as to
their vote in Presidential elections
as Indiana or New York. When that
time comes both the big parties will
fall over each other to do things for
us when we call for it.
The Crime of 1914.
And if that had been the case in
1914, the brawny farmers and their
children. who sWeated in the heat
and sI,ivered in the cold to make and
gather crop, would not have seen
themselves robbed of it, as they
were, and themselves and children
often deprived of even enough cot
ton clothes and plain food to give
them simple comfort, which they had
so justly earned by honest toll, while
the big brokers got the crop for
nearly nothing; ard then the same
congress, by special legislation, in
their favor enables them to raise the
price and fatten on countless thou
sands of gain.

If the Progressiyes had rendered me their

efforts to break up the Solid South by taking

old Commonwealth rise from the political

~ made the statement THAT you would have
accepted the Progressive nomination for Presi-
dent just after Roosevelt declined it, if you had
been asked to- You surely don't think that Mr..

elected before, and conditions now are about the
same as they were then. So please explain to your

ings a little bit from now on for

such will be, even in the "Solid

(Comment)
1t was a scornful disregard of the
people when the Trustees unani-
mously appointed Jim Price, after
the people had voted their condem-
nation of him.
The official report Of the Public
Accountant makes black case
against Price and Worsham, but the
Ring was determined to keep Price
in luxurious position.
The Experiment Station is an ex-
pensive farce, but Price is some
thing worse than a farce.
