MOOSE SHOW IS
 COMPLETE AND BILL LOOKS GOOD

The Moose A. c. card for the boxing show to be held at the Casino April B is completed and 1t looks as if the ring enthusiasts are to see some lively bouts. The star bout will have former Champion George Chip and the Zulu Kid of Brooklyn as principals. Chip has appeared here on two previous occasions and scored knockouts each time His slashing style made hit with the fans. The Zulu Kid was seen in action against Silent Martin re- gently. He is a willing battler who will give Chip a busy evening. This bout is scheduled for ten rounds.
 The sem1-hna1 will have Battling Kunz of South Norwalk and Tommy Marengo of Boston in the points The South Norwalk boy needs no intro- duction to local rooters. He is in there giving his best all the time. Marengo is hard hitter so he and Kunz ought to have a busy ten round session.
 Another ten round affair will have Tommy Martin of Dan'bury and Bud Palmer of this city inside the ropes This should produce plenty of excite ment. These will be a four round opener between Young Hogan of this city and Louie Bogash, also a local boy. The committee in charge of the show consists of William Cashan, chairman; Sammy Hollis, Ed Crowley, John Farmer, Sr., and R. R. Phelps.

GUNNER MOIR GAINED FIGHTING KNOWLEDGE
 AS ENGLISH SOLDIER

Gunner Moir, former heavyweight champion of Great Britain, was born in London, 38s years ago today. The Gunner whipped all the best men in England, and also made a victorious trip to Australia, before he met his Waterloo about 10 years ago at the hands of Tommy Burns Eugene Cor ri, the famous English referee, refers to him as ''good- -natured Gunner. with the pulverizing punch, who re- quired only more speed and science to raise him to a very high place among pugilists.' Moir came of a London working class family, and in his youth enlisted in the army as an artil- leryman.
 He took up boxing soon after join ing the colors, and in India he licked all the top notchers in the army, and returned to England with the Indian Army championship to his credit Early in 1097 he won the heavyweight championship of England by whip ping Tiger Smith, but later in the same year he was defeated by Burns, and in 1909 he was knocked out in the first round by Iron Hague. Moir was still good enough in 1911 to put Bombardier Wells to sleep, but in 1913 he was knocked out by the Bon- bardier. r

MAILS AND GETz OF DODGERS ARE
 SOLD ON WAIVER

New York, April 17.-Brooklyn Ma tional league champions did a little spring house cleaning yesterday and announced the release of four players Upon asking. for waivers on some of his surplus stock Owner Ebbets dis covered they were in big demand. Neither Gus Getz, former regular third baseman, nor Duster Mails could be run through the waiver gantlet.
 The Cincinnati club calimed Getz, while both the Pittsburgh and St. Louis clubs refused to pass Mails into the minors. Duster was awarded to the Pirates. Infielder Lewis Malone has been returned to the St. Paul club of the American association, but the Brooklyn club retains an option on the player. First Baseman Warren Adams, procured from Winnipegs originally and recently, returned by the Pirates, who had refused to waive on him, was sent to Oakland on the Pacific Coast to join OhMara, Trimmer man, Goodbred and other Brooklyn refugees Brooklyn also retains an option on Adams.
 The release of Getz came as a sur prise. After >Rotoby appointed Mowrey as Getz's successor at third base early last season Gus still did valuable ser vice as a utility man. Matty may give Getz 8 chance to play third on the regulars.

OAUBERT'S WIFE
 PERSUADED HIM
 TO TRY BASEBALL

Capt. Jacob Daubert, the demon slugger of the Dodgers, will receive the congratulations of his teammates today on his thirty-second birthday. Jake was born in Shamokin, Pa., and was voter and a married man before he began to play ball for a living. As a matter of fact, Jake would prob ably be a coal miner yet if he hadn't married young. It was his better half who urged him to exchange the dirty habiliments of a miner for the uni form of a ball player.
 7 Jake had played on a local team in Shamokin, but he didn't think he had the stuff to get by as money player until Mrs. Daubert persuaded him to take a chance. After few seasons in small circuits and a trial by Cleveland, he made a hit as first baseman and slugger with Memphis in 1909, and joined Brooklyn the following season.

CHIC BROWN GETS DRAW IN BATTLE
 WITH DRuMMIE

New Haven, April 17-Chick Brown, the sensational New Haven light weight, signalized his return to the boxing game after layoff of five months, by holding Johnny Drummfe of Waterbury to a draw in the fea- ture attraction of 15 rounds at the Arena last night. Both boys waged a fast fight from kickoff to curfew there being little to choose between the two at the end of the battle. Brown fought one of his eyer-popular old-time battles, forcing the fight and taking advantage of every opportunity that presented itself. Drummie. on the other hand, was always ready to mix it and proved that he is still a clever and game youngster.
 The showing of Brown was an inn pressive one. He Jumped into the ring chuck full of pepper and conf1- dence and carried an air that would lead one to believe that Drummie was courting an uncomfortable evening.
 Several times during the night Brown jumped out of his corner be- fore it was time and he was always on top to meet Drummie coming in. Browns left hand, as usual proved his chief method of attack. Time and again he used these 1efts with good effect and thorough effectiveness. He seldom missed with his left as it us- ually met it's mark on Dummies un- protected face or body. Drummie at- tempted to box Brown several times but the local boy did not relish this style and fought. It was fight and Brown made a fight of it.
 One of the surprises of the bout was the great strategy used by Brown

BAKER, NOT HURT so BADLY AND HE
 MAY PLAY SOON

New York, April 17-J. Franklin Baker was in uniform in the morning practice of the Yankees at the Polo Grounds yesterday and did some bat ting. / An X-ray examination showed that the thumb on his left hand was not broken by that pitched ball on Saturday, as diagnosed at first, so that he may be back at his regular place at third base within two or three days. The thumb was dislocated and bruised, but the inflammation was re- duced under treatment and he counts on playing in short order. It was pretty sore yesterday, but not sore enough to cripple him. After the morning military drill and a short practice Bill Donovan, manager of the team, decided that it was too cold and raw for a game in the afternoon and asked that it be postponed.
 Clarke Griffith, manager of the Washington team, was not averse to the game being called off. as the out look at the time was mighty gloomy, but later both he and Donovan rather regretted the decision, as the sun came out about noon and warmed up the atmosphere in a way that led three or four hundred fans who made the journey to the grounds express some thing more than surprise that the gates were closed. fs

YALE FEARS FOOTBALL IS
 DOOMED FOR NEXT SEASON Only Early Termination of War Could Allow Sport
 To Be Resumed.


 New Haven. April 17.--Ya1e, to- ge e.her with universities which acted in concert in calling off intercollegiate sports, has not great expectation that football will be played next fall. al- though a. present no plans of any sort have been considered regarding the game. With the war closing early in August there might be some chance of organizing a varsity eleven for the fall, but not a very bright canoe. Af-er August 15, 1t Is held that Yale's participation in the intercollegiate gridiron game would be out of the question So, of course, with Yale, Princeton, Cornell and other colleges that are now out of extra-mural sport.
 Tad Jones, the football coach, is now engaged in business in Ohio; Billy Lauder. of the baseball team, Is in South Norwalk, where he has business interests; John Mack lives in New Haven, and Guy Nickalls, of course, is a citizen of England. All these men hold contracts with the Yale Athletic association, and undoubtedly the terms

 Titzel was at top form after the opening inning. Young also pitcher a great game for Williams His in- field, however, blew up in the pinches or Penn would have only crossed the plate on one occasion. Penn only hit Young's curves for two hits a single by Johnny T1tzel and double by Johnny White. This is the third vic- tory of the Red and Blue team.

BLUE RIBBONS TO
 TAKE ON EASTON
 PLAYERS TONIGHT

The Blue Ribbon basketball players will have a tough job tonight when they stack up against the fast Easton, Pa., five at Colonial hall. The Easton boys gave the Ribbons fine facing when the teams met here a few weeks ago and the locals hope to reverse things tonight.
 Judging by what happened in the last game between the two clubs there is bound to be some excitement. Gar ry SchmeKe and Smythe of the Eas- tons are two of the biggest forwards in the game. They can shoot from any angle and when they dash down the floor they are apt to send oppos- ing players sprawling. Leo Malone plays center for the visitors Manager Leavy of the Ribbons will have Stretch Harvey back at center. Nor man, who was off form last week, promises to show some of his old skill tonight. The main game will start at 8:30 and there will Joe the usual pre- liminary.

Harry Niles, a player who was con- sidered 0klite a speed merchant In the big leag Nes a few years ago, has been released by Kansas City. He played with the Yankees, Red Sox ana Browns in the American league and just fell short of being a star.
 The National league season 1sn' very old but Alexander has already been beaten. He took off his hat to Barnes a young member of the Braves pitching staff, yesterday. In spite of the fact that the Braves made only seven hits and had five errors they won the pastime.
 Manager Bill Donovan thinks Shocker will be the Yankees leading pitcher this season. The youngster relied chiefly on @ spitball last season but has developed f1oater since then. He has good control and is always cool under fire.
 Harry Burke ought to make good with Harrisburg, Pa., in the New York State league, where he has been secured for a tryout upon the recom- mendation of Tommy Downey.. He did good work for the U. M. c. team last season. Downey batted hard for Harrisburg last year and expects to have another good season. He will play second base.
 Ping Bodie, the former White Sox outfelder, is enjoying a comeback with the Athletics. Bodie was all ways good hitter and he proved yes- terday that he had lost none of his skill when he made double and two singles against Babe Ruth of the Red Sox.

4cording to the opinion of physicians. will prevent him from denning spikes in competition.
 Baker is member of the Irish American A. c. at the present time, but he became famous in the world of athletics as a member of the New York A. c. He first burst into prom thence in 1913. when he won the na- tional half mile championship. He duplicated the feat the following year, after he had won the English half mile championship and several other important middle distance races in a short trip abroad just before the out break of the war. In June 1915,
 Baker was injured in a motorcycle eccident at Travers island and was unable to run again until last sum- mer. In the meantime, however, diff ferences had arisen between him and the New York A. C., and he cancelled his registration with the club. He ran his first two or three races in 1916 as an unattached athlete and finally joined the Irish-Anerican A. c. at the beginning of the indoor season.
