fore-because there are more of them.
That's the only reason-for all men always did dress

DUNDEE SHADES
 FRANKIE CALLAHAN

New York, Feb. 21.-A spirited ral- ly in the closing founds of his ten- round session last night at the Broad way Sporting Club of Brooklyn gave Johnny Dundee, the popular local Italian lightweight boxer, a slight shade the better of the honors over rFankie Callahan, a rugged Brooklyn lightweight. It was the first appear ance in this city of Dundee since his Knockout at the hands of Willie aJck- son. and the only thing that saved him from losing the popular decision was his almost superhuman. effort in the closing four sessions Up to that stage Callahan had an edge in the matter of points, but with his sensa- Stional burst in the seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth rounds, Dundee cut down this. advantage and turned the tide in his own ssavor.
 Though Dundee won, his margin ofevictory was by no means convinc- ing or decisive. It was not the same rushing, aggressive, spectacular Dun- dee that performed at the Brooklyn club last night. In his place there was wary boxer who seemed con- tent to let his adversary do the bulk or the aggressive WOrk ana leading, and contented himself with holding desperately in the clinches, instead of hitting with both hands in vigorous style in the manner of that has char acterized his previous performances.
 Up to the seventh session there was only one period when Dundee adopt cd his sensational crouching style of milling, and this was in the second session, when the little Italian at- tackled Callahan in surprising fasston.

GREAT RALLY BY
 SHEEPSHEAD BAY
 DEFEATS RIBBONS
(RY Wagnerl

<Last week George Norman was a rS ging lion against thee rack Jas pers This week he impersonated a lamb He was playing with the Sheepsheads against the Blue Rib bons at Colonial hall last night and couldn't do a strike of work because Walter Swenson followed him around all night. Everywhere that Swenson went the ball was sure to go.
 But even without the aid of Nor mans educated shots the Sheepshead players were good enough to beat the Ribbons by 21 to IS. It was hard fought game which pleased the large crowd Norman's only contribution to the entertainment were four foul throws. Chris Leonard, who has been joshed good deal because of his failure to show Harvey up, cut loose and gained the decision over the Ribbon center. yfe caged two goals and two from the foul line. His basket in the last few minutes of the second half clinched the victory for the visitors.
 Roxey Roach was not quite up to his usual standard but Joe Dreyfus gave a rattling exhibition. Two long shots by him in the second half put the SheepSheads in the running. Reich was also a dangerous player. Jimmy Clinton sent word that he was unable to come so Hobey Fyfe of Jersey City was paired with Beck man on the Ribbon forward line.

m GUT DOWN ENTRY LISTS
 OF BIG TENNIS TOURNAMENTS
Only Those of Established Ability Will Be Allowed
 to Compete for Famous Cups.

New York. Feb. 21-That a general
 movement to Aurtail entries, at various national championship tournaments IS
 deemed necessary is shown by the re-
 cent action of the tennis and golf as-
 sOciations. It has become apparent
 that in order to prevent such compe-
 titions from becoming top-heavy ana
 long drawn out; some form or llmlta-
 tion in either the entry or play must pe adopted. At the annual meeting or Che United States National Lawn Ten
 nis association that body went upon
 Tacord as favoring such a move py adopting new regulations governing
 the championship tournament to De
 held at the West Side club. Forest
 Hills, l.. T., beginning Thursday, Aug.
 Y ,s3
 These will prove of great interest
 tO tennis players because they change the character of this event to the ex- f2emt that entrants will now be required sfo show some qualifications to justify their competing for the national title. Nhese qualifications are not so strict ; ;as to change materially the open char acter of the tournament, but they do prevent those who might be fairly de- ecrfbed as having worse than an out ] side chance from entering, merely for the sake of playing in the national championship.
 !: When the tournament was shifted from Newport to New York it was 4eH thatSin such large tennis center many players might enter, influene ed . Sn part at least by the desire to secure . players ticket for the matches and to have the distinction of competing In this event, although without a pos ability of coming through. Practi- cally there has been some tendency { to restrict the entries by having them made through club secretaries and this has helped to prevent the tournament being clogged by the presence of some who could not be considered as serious

American League Is Not So Much Better
 Than The National
Bill Hanna in the New York ryera1d

Bill Hanna in the New York Herald says:
 "A statement was made in a Chi cago paper recently that the Ameri- can league is 50 per cent stronger than the National. The American league is stronger-there is no req sonable doubt of that-but to my way of thinking fixing that superiority at 50 per cent. is overstating the situ- ation absurdly. Twenty-Five per cent. is enough, and I don't think the American league is 50 per cent. stronger than the American associa- tion.
 'The American league is stronger than the National, but just the same and notwithstanding should the two leagues merge National players and managers who would be grabbed by the American in something less than two minutes are McGraw, Stallings.

M'COY ORDERED
 TO MEET DILLON
 BEFORE DARCY GO

New York, Feb. 21-Com1nissione Frank Dwyer. of. the State Athletic Comqnission, wired to Chairman Wenck yesterday that he voted to compel Al Mccoy to fulfil his Brook lyn engagement before he can appear at the Garden. This vote settles Me- Coy's appearance against Darcy on March 5 unless he tackles Dillon pre- viously. Grant Hugh Browne then announced that Jack Dillon would be substituted for Mccoy, so as to make use, of the arranged date.
 Mccoy announced yesterday he was willing to meet Dillon and also to keep his Garden engagement. Ac- cording to the Garden management the contract read that Mccoy wasn't to do any boxing until he met Darcy Mccoy denied this and also claims that it is impossible for the Colnmis- sion to rule against him and hold him off for a Dillon battle, as that ruling would nullify his contemplated bout with Dillon. The middleweight champion is going to hold the Gar den management to the agreement to protect his end.
 
 uation is rather complex. It looks that the Garden folks will lose plenty of money whichever way the wind blows. Mccoy and Darcy would hardly draw the amount of the guar anteed purse ($3O, ,o0O), while a Dill lon-Darcy match would not draw a jitney more. The midd1eweight champion will demand some sort of a settlement, providing his contract pro. tects him, and will hardly be modest in his demands. With Dillon the only handy opponent in sight 1t is certain he will double his request for appear ance money.
 Though Mccoy wasn't considered seriously as an opponent for Darcy the substituting of Dillon won't boost the match, as the latter is not much of a card around these corners. i! He lost the popular decisions in his recent battles and his exhibitions were convincing enough to show he was standing on the mat of the "also ran' clubhouse

ROSS STARTS TO ]. TRAIN FOR SCRAP
 WITH TEX KELLY

Hugh Ross has started training at Battling Levinsky's camp in Stratford for his bout with Tex Kelly, which
 will be one of the principal events in the boxing show to be held at the
 Park theatre next Tuesday night un- der the auspices of the Bridgeport Sporting club. This bout is booked for ten rounds and as Kelly is a
 rough and ready scrapper Ross wants to be just right when he enters the ring.
 The star bout will nave Young Mo Auliffe of this city and Johnny Hayes of New York in the points. Hayes has appeared before some of the leading New York clubs. He is of the aggressive type so his work is sure to please the fans Hayes sends word that he is training at Grupp's gymnasium in New York. McAuliffe is already training and as he always keeps in first class trim he won't have to exert himself much to get in Ito shape for the encounter.
 It looks like a great mixup be- tween Battling Kunz of South Nor walk and Frankie Conifrey of New York. Conifrey has displayed his skill in thisI city before. He is a hard worker who is always willing to swap punches -Kunz has decision over Conifrey in bout that took place short time ago in South Norwalk. This affair is a ten rounder. The opening engagement vii be a six round affair between Johnny Sharpe of this city and Johnny Bennett of Newark, N. J.

contenders.
 This restriction was not entirely ef- fective, however, and it became nee. essary to draw up more drastic entry conditions These were presented at the annual meeting, and the delegates
 from clubs all over the country seemed to be cordially in favor of the idea, as 1t went through without opposition.
 Consequently the following stand as
 the qualifications which will determine
 the acceptability of entries for the na- tional championship i'll 1917: Entries shall close on published l ginning of play.
 Entries shall be open to players in
 good standing belonging to clubs or
 associations having membership in the U. s. National Lawn Tennis associa- tion, as follows:
 T. Players who have been ranked by the U. S. National Lawn Tennis
 association, during any of the five years preceding the tournament, or
 who have at any time been ranked in
 the first 20.
 "2. Players who in the last three years preceding the championship have been semiffna;lists or better in any two tournaments sanctioned by the U. s. N. l.. T. A.
 "3. Players who have in the current playing season played in not less than three sanctioned tournaments, and have, made a reasonably good record. Committee of management of the tour lnament to have the power to rule on the value of a players record.
 "4. Players who do not qualify in any of the above classes but whose lentry is acceptable to the executive committee by reason of residence in ] foreign countries, promise of skill, or other circumstances deemed sufficient to cause exceptions in their cases. "Entries shall be made through the secretary of a club belonging to the iU. $. NIL. T. A."

Coach Hollenback of
 Syracuse Football Is
 In Bad With Faculty

Syracuse, N. r., Feb. 21.-The selec- ton of William Hollenback to succeed himself as head coach of the Syracuse football team by the athletic govern ing board on December 2 was against the wishes of Chancellor James R.. Day, head of the university.
 It was learned. last night that Dr. Day will use his veto power to oust Hollenback. During the past two weeks Dr. Day has had several con- ferences with Frank J. O'Neill of New York, former coach here, and Alfred R. Cobb, captain of the 1917 team. It is said that pr. Day is anxious to have O'Neill return as coach.
 Yesterday Dr. Day summoned every of the football team into his office and asked for opinions about the retention of Hollenback Definite iac- tion on the matter is expected within a few days.
