KIL1ANE's ACTIONS
 BLACK EVE TO GAME
Record Crowd of Fans Suffer as Re- suit of Champion's Sailing Ttetics Says Bob Wilson.

Johnny Kilbane, featherweight champion of the world placed a. black eye on the boxing game in this state by stalling and clinching tactics in his bout with Eddie Wallace in Bridgeport recently. The failure efforts pS)ved a big disappointment to those fans who damned the Park theatre of that city in hopes of see- ing the champion give them a fair run for their money. Instead, Kilbane just carried Wallace along until late poncnt after he had won the envy of practically every person in the house. The fight. if you would care to term it as such. proved one of the juciest lemons that has been foiSted upon the fans in several years. In view of the gest house since the famous Sailor Burke-Jack Jackson fight ten years ago, it is reasonable to believe that the fans will not fall so hard the next time a champion is billed to appear in this state
 Connecticut has long borne a clean name in the fight game. To be sure it has been the victim of fakes and otherwise unsatisfactory bouts, but everything considered, boxing has been. conducted on a far better basis right here than in most states. The game h1s prospered in New Haven, Bridgeport and Waterbury this season champions and near champions, have not been allowed to invade these parts and rrag off all of the money without giving something in return. The Bridgeport affair should serve as a lesson to those promoters. who are also victimized by the f1y-bq night champions who consider nobody but themselves.

War Means No Sports This Year
College Athletic. Will be Abandoned Hostlites Are De clared by Consress-Baseban Masnates Have Made No Announcement.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.

intercollegiate athletics threatens to become atrophied. Princeton. through Dean Howard McC1enahan, chairman of the board of athletic control, has announced that military training and service will take precedence not only over athletics, but in case of actual hostilities over academic activities all so. Harvard long ago decided to close up as university and to open as a military institution as soon as the president and the congress let slip the dogs of war. The Crimson's ath- letic gements would be seriously hampered anyway, as many leading
 Harvard athletes are marked for inn
 portant positions in case of hostilities.
 Among these are the following var
 ball: H. B. Cabot, crew. and J. E. Ab-

 Columbia. has gotten into line with
 the unofficial announcement that all
 contests, meets and games scheduled
 with other colleges would be aban-
 doned in case the periseope of an overt act" appeared on the troubled interna tional seas. Harry Fisher, the graduate manager of athletics at the Morningside institution, is sponsor for the statement that the Columbia ath- letes will turn to more serious things as soon as they are needed. if not be- fore that. F'ordham will undoubtedly pursue the same line of action. and has already organized a Red Cross section.
 keepsie this June is at present hang ing in the balance. The stewards of the intercollegiate Rowing association will meet today and give out a final decision on this point All signs point however. to the abandonment of the Poughkeepsfe regatta. the Childs Cup race, and all other college rowing con- tests in the event of war;
 On the Pacific Coast the colleges have already felt the impetus toward service. T. Arthur Younger, graduate mana ger of athletics at the University of Washington. has addressed letters to various managers in the Pacific coast conference, recommending the 9 abandonment of all athletics upon the declaration of hostilities and the re- plies he has received indicate that his

HOUSE LEADERS HAVE
 BEGUN CONFERENCES
On Legislation Bearing on the Inter-
 national Crisis

Washington, March 2S.-House lead CTS, democrats and republicans, began conferences today to pave the way for quick action on appropriation bills and legislation bearing on the international crists, regardless of which party or ganizes the house when the extra ses- sion begins Monday.
 Speaker Clark, democratic leader kitchin, republican leader Mann and Representative Fitzgerald agreed ten- tatively that the big appropriation bills which failed at the last session of congress should be re-introduced in the form which they originally passed the house, acted upon without delay, under a suspension of the rules, and sent to the senate. They also agreed that should either party organize the house the minority representation on all committees should be raised sev- eral members.
 Democratic members of the ways and means committee of the last con- gress who will serve in the incoming congress conferred on committee as- signments for their party, confident that, as heretofore, their caucus will name them to make the selections. The meeting was executive, but it was un- derstood an .@reement was reached to re-assign all committeee chairmen of. the last congress who will serve in the coming congress, and advance most of the democratic ranking mem bers to chairman ships.

lead will be followed unanimously. The mobilization of the Second Washing ton Infantry has already put the Unf- versity of Washington track team hors de combat. Captain William McDon- aid and two other mainstays are now in uniform at the armory.
 Turf racing will not be abandoned unless conditions absolutely demand it. It is felt by the racing authorities that this sport is so useful in devel- oping cavalry remounts that it will probably be encouraged by the gov ernment. However. there is a rumor to the effect that the autumn amateur meets may not be held. The men whose interest and money back these mounts will be the first to take up arms and it is pointed out that the meetings could hardly be a success without their support.
 As far as professional baseball is concerned, there has been no official action as yet to indicate that the league schedule would be suspended, It is significant, however. that Presi- dent John K. Tener of she National league says that in the event of war, baseball will be second consideration with magnates and players. Captain T. L. Huston of the Yankees, who was the prime mover in having the base ball clubs take up the military train ing in the southern camps, is of the opinion that the baseball players will be among the first to enlist.

USEFUL INFORMATION IN
 THE EVENT OF WAR
Ia Being Gathered by the American
 Embassy in London.

London. March 2S, 2.15 D. m = The entire staff of the American embassy, some of whose members are devoting all their time to the work, is preparing information for the government at Washington which is expected tC be useful in the event of war. The in formation covers economic rather than military features of war preparations. The subjects have to do with trans portation, finance and organization of new departments such as. those of munitions and blockade. A feature is being made of war work for women, especially in munitions factories.
 special committee of the newly organized American chamber of com merce called at the embassy today to offer it's services in any capacity. Most of the members of the committee are above military age, but all represent long residence Eere has given them valuable experience in regard to British methods. The transportation measures taken in England in consequence of rying more men and freight than ever before in their history, will be an im- portant feature of the report.
 Among the other problem suader considera ton is that of internment in which the embassy has had a large experience in its capacity repre- SentativeS of various belligerentS. The recent relinquisEment of the interests of Germany releases several members of the staff for this purpose an1 they are now supplementing their knowledEP by obtaining the requisite information from the British government.
 The embassy staff also is making a report on the British censorship The American government already is in possession of a report made by Ameri- can army officers on the British sys- tenn, which consists Iarge.y of exam pies of things which should n3t be done by a censorship.

Stomach NOt Helped By Artificial Digestents
Doctors Now Advise Mnanesaa for Acid
 Tudarestlom


 Just how foolish 1t Is to Indiscrimf- nately dose the stomach with drugs and medicines Is often not realized u,stil toe late. 1t seems so simple to swallow dose of some special mixture or take pepsfn tablets. or other artificial digest ents after meals and the folly of this druggfng is not apparent until. per- haps years afterward, when chronic dyspepsia has developed gastric ul- cers have almost or entirely eaten their way through the stomach walls. Re- grets are then unavailing.
 It is in the early stages when indi- gestion. dyspepsia. heartburn, hatu- fence, etc, indicate excessive acidity Of the stomach or fermentation of food contents that precautfon should be taken.
 Tn excessive acidity digestents are unsuita bIe and have little or no Influ- ence upon the harmful acid; thar is why many are discarding them and advising sufferers from indigestion and stomach trouble to get rid of the dan Eerous acid and keep the food contents bland and sweet by taking a little pure bisurate magnesia instead.
 Bisurated MaRnesia is a pleasant. harmless, antacId which can be eadily practically tasteless and a teaspoonful taken in a little hot or cold water af- ter meals will usually be found quite sufficient to instantly neutra1i2e eN- cessive acidity Of the stomach and thus relieve the distress to which 1t is giv ing rise.
