under the age of 22, that there were more enlistments of boys under l. than there were over 19 and that there were enlistment of 2,150, 900 boys under the age of 21. am in favor of uni versal military; training in the regular army, playing no favorites, granting no certificates of exemption to those who are serving in the National Guard nor to those who are attending miIi- tary and naval academies, nor to any one else for any cause whatsoever save physical disability. I believe in one year enlistmentS in the regular army of all young men at some time between the ages of IT. and 22. I be- heve that in such an army there will be no great harship in that kind of an army there will be no snowbirds, men who enlist in November and de- sert in May. In that army there will be no industrial failures. men aIx- iously waiting for their SIS per month and their keep. Men in that army under the uniform of the United States when off duty will be welcomed every where, in theatres and places of amusement. Young ladies may walk down the streets with prefect propri- ety with privates of the United States and rest under no suspicion.
 The uniform of the United States would cover alike the son of mill ionaire and the son of a day laborer, the son of a minister of the gospel and the son of a gambolier. Such an army a real democracy should have. Such an army real democracy should have. Such an army this great gov ernment ought to have. (applause.)

ROBINS HAVE SHORT
 WORKOUT AT SPRINGS.
Storm Stops Hot Springs Contest
 Seats for Red Sox Series.

Rain, followed by a "norther,'' broke up the practice of the Robins at Whit tington park Thursday afternoon, but not until they had a short workout and played six innings of a seven in ming game.
 Rube Marquard was opposed by Jack Coombs and there was no comparison between the two world series stars Marquard put it, all over Jack from the first to the last inning and showed more form than any of the other vet erans up to date.
 Coombs, on the other hand, was greeted by home run drive from the bat of Fabrique in the very first in ming. The 1ronnfan was hit hard all through the game, and several fine catches by his supporters saved two or three runs.
 With the starting of the seventh in ming the storm broke. and Manager Robinson chased his players back to their hotel.
 Extra. benches, seating fifteen hun dred persons, were placed in the left field to accommodate the large crowd thafo is expected to attend the first Brook1yn-Red Sox game at Whiting ton park on Sunday. These with the regular seating capacity of twelve hun dred, will hardly accommodate the crowd. Twenty to twenty-five thou sand visitors are in the city, with no place to go Sunday, except the ball game.

TEX RIc<ARD sIpe ON GARDEN LEAsE.
Mccracken and Tex Hsady to Sign
 Contract At Minute,s Notice.

The latest development in the Madi- son Square Garden situation was sprung yesterday, when it became
 one side, who once aspired to the own Eership of the building, and Tex Rick
 ard and Sam McCracken, on the other,
 were bidding in opposition to one an
 other for years lease on the prem
 McCTacken,. who was in conference
 with representatives of the New York Life Insurance Company owners of the building, for several hours yester- day, announced that he and Rickard
 were ready to close at minutes mo-
 tice with the owners. McCracken and Rickards are men of few words and when they talk big figures it issonIy
 when they are ready to back up the talk with coin of the realm.
 This was shown yesterday when McCracken attached his signature to a contract for the lease of the Gar, den and at the same time handed over a. certified check to cover the tran saction. All it needs is the signature of the New York Life Insurance Com-E pany's representative to start things rolling. With Rickard and McCrack- en at the helm, New York fight fans would be assured of good bouts, fairly conducted. between the best men in the ring today.
 r But the owners Of the Garden did not close with Tex and Sam yester- day.. MT. Browne, the worlds cham pion optimist secured a final chance to talk business. and he was closeted with members of the finance depart ment of the insurance company until 5 o'clock in the afternoon.
 The Squire of Goshen has decided that if he can't own the Garden or Influence somebody else to acquife title, the next best thing is to get a years lease, and, to give him due credit he is putting up a sturdy fight to achieve that little thing. He talked to such good effect yesterday that the NeWf York Life's representatives de- cided to sleep on his offer last night and make definite announcement to- day. So we must wait until this aft ernoon before we know whether Sam or Tex or Grant Hugh are to run things from ringside seats.

WENCK REMOVED FROM OFFICE
Governor Whitman Says Chairman of State Athletic Com Unfit for Position No Successor Appointed Governor Hopes to See Boxing Illegal -Wenck Claims Ha Frame-s1p.

Albany. IN. r :, March 16.-Governor Whitman late today removed from of- flee Chairman Frederick A. Wenck of the state athletic commission. on the ground that he was unfit for the po- sition by reason Of ~his character and previous dealings with others.n The
 executive dismissed all of the other
 charges brought aeainstk the chairman
 by three Nefx York boxinE bout pro-
 motors. incldding one -cf sattenpted
 It was announced at the executive chamber that probably no successor to Wenck would be appointed, as the governor hopes to see boxing exhibi- tions declared illegal in this state be-. fore the end of the present legislative session.
 The charges, preferred by Harry M Pollock, John J. White and Patrick T. Powers were heard by Franklin Lord. findings. in which the governor con- cured, were summarized as follows:
 sT deem the commissioners action in borrowing monsy rrSsa a,sI 2 nanager ol td promote a fight: endorsing his note in order to enable him to promote said fight; taking free tickets, especially in large numbers, for boxing matches and from those interested in the Madison Square Garden for other entertain ments or shows. to be improper. I, therefore. recommend that this charge is sustained. EA E
 The charge referred to is as follows: That the said Frederick A. Menck is by character and previous dealings with others unfit to hold the position he now holds.''
 MT. Lord found that MT. wenck had borrowed $400, which he afterwards re- paid, from Bob Moha's manager; that he assisted in the arrangements for the Fulton-Re fight, and endorsed John J. Mack's note for $2.500 during the preliminary dealings: that he on at least one occasion accepted 70 tickets for bout from the promoters.
 MT. Wenck's defense to the bribe- soliciting charge, which was dismiss ed, was that he was the victim of a 'sframe-up.n ].
