TRUE LOVE OF SLOW GROWTH
But, Having Powered, There Is No
Test Which 1t Cannot Pass With
Triumph.

True, lasting love is little slower
in starting than is false love. 1t is a
little more dignifed; a little more
truthful and pure from the start. 1t
is less disturbed by jealousy and
trif1ing differences. 1t is more sturdy,
though less 1amboyant. 1t is less

= When love has passed its second test

Foolish fellow. His love fails in its

Former Champion Ertle IS 21 Years Old But
 Only Midget in Size

Although he has not and never will reach the stature of a regular man. Johnny ErtleA the bantamweight championship claimant, attains man. hoods estate today in the matter Of age, this being his twenty first birth day. Johnny was born in Austria, but she is true blue American. The St Paul Kewpie broke into the fight game in 1913, and went along without . defeat until the spring of 1915, when he lost the decision to Pal Moore in an eight round bout in Memphis. In- cidentally. Moore has also outpointed Pete Herman, the New Orleans ban tam championship claimant
 Ertle won the bantam title in Sep tember, 1915, when Kid Williams fouled him in the fifth round of . bout in St Paul. While the Balti- more Dane loudly declared that he had been jobbed, and there was some disposition to question Kewpie's right to the title, the fact remains that un- der the Marquis of Queensbury code Ert1e became the bona fde champion.
 His career since then has not been particularly inspiring. Al Shubert held him to draw in a New Bedford bout, and most of Kewpfe's victories have been over second raters. Kid Williams continued to claim the ban- the Dane lost his last hold on the title when he was defeated by Pete Her. man not long ago.

IS MATTY FRYING TO DON PITCHING
 SpANGLES AGAIN {?

Cincinnati, March 21-Does Matty pine to pitch again? Is the Old Mas ter unsatisfied with the glorious rec ord of the years, unsatisfied with managerial honors, anxious to go back there on the slab and show the younger generator how it should be done?
 Maybe so and maybe not. Matty is such a sphinx, such a marvel of re- ticence and modesty, that no man can say what he really means to do. Per raps he wishes only to keep himself in good physical condition; perhaps he only seeks to give the youngsters pitching lessons, so that some of them, during the great summer that is yet to come, can emulate his skill.
 Last fall Matty said he had aban- doned the pitching hill forever. When he came into Cincinnati a few days ago he admitted that he go in if the staff should be so crippled that he ab- solutely had to take the slab. And now he's working out-not too hard, of course, but with evident interest and marked determination. Whats the answer?

DARCY MAY BOX
 CHIP BEFORE CLUB .DUT IN MIL WAUKEE

! New York. March 2l.-Les Darcy Inc Australian middlew eight champion who was barred from appearing Ill Ihis state by recent edict of GOV krnor Whitman, arrived in thls clly yesterday after prolonged absence The Australian put up at the Hotel Enlddeott. where he intends to main lain temporary headquarters.

B. T. O'Sulh- lkan.f
 The Australian, however, knowing that he has no chance to obtain a bout anywhere in New York, intends to arrange bouts for. himself in the West, and h~ is at present making plans to this endl 1t is probable that he will make his first American ring appearance in a bout at Milwaukee, possibly against George Chip, the New kastle, Penn, middleweight. whom Darcy knocked out before departing from Australia.

FULTON
 FROM GIVING UP
 HIS OLD MANAGER

New York, March 21-Fred Fulton is being pursued by the law. The Wisconsin courts have decided that Fulton must live up to his contract made with Mike Collins, in which he agreed to share part of his ring earn 'ings over a period of five years. Full ton broke with Collins, declaring that Mike had not dealt fairly with him in financial mattrs.
 Collins immediately took the mat ter to court and word came from Milwaukee last night that he had won his suit, which restraints Fulton from boxing under any management but his.
 Fulton is now under the manage ment of Frank Force. a Minneapolis newspaper man. Fulton is in New York preparing for a bout with Carl Morris.
 Force said last night:
 They'll have to come and serve us with their restraining orders. We are not going out to Wisconsin just yet. Fulton will never box for Col lins as long as he can hold his hands up Collins didn't treat him fairly. We are going right ahead with our matches around New York"
 Fulton finds himself in much the same canoe that Carl Morris and Al Palzer bobbed about in so long. Pal ger broke with Tom O'Rourke after signing a five-year contract, and he has not been able to engage in a big bout since
 Carl Morris broke with Billy New man, and every time that Carl essay ed a bout, no matter where, Newman was there to attach the receipts on the strength of a court order.
 Morris fumed and fretted, but finally he arranged with his present manager to buy Newman's contract for sum said to be $5,000! This is just what Fulton will have to do if Collins deems it worth while to come to New York every time Fulton boxes.

BASEBALL GROWS MORE POPULAR IN
 COLLEGE CIRCLES

New York, March 21VThe import ance of baseball in the list of college sports is shown by the steadily in- creasing number of games scheduled each year by the various college and university teams of the different sec tions of the country. In no other branch of intercollegiate competition is so much activity crowded into few weeks of play as in the baseball sea- son.
 Nor is the play confined to any par ticular section or group of states, as college baseball teams now make long intersectiona1 or transcontinental trips playing game after game with various varsity hines en route. No better ex- ample of this feature of the sport need be cited than the trip to be made by the Stanford University team this spring, which will bring the Califronia college players as far East as New York.
 The total number of games played by college teams throughout the United States each season runs into thousands although there is no way in which to reach an accurate rec ord in this respect. Some idea of the number of contests scheduled. how ever may be gathered from the fact that more than six hundred games will be played by the leading college teams of the New England and Mid- dle Atlantic States thia spring

Jack McAuliffe And Jimmy Carroll Fought
 Great Scrap in 1890

Jack McAu1iffe, the old time light weight champion, had one of the stiffest bouts of his career twenty seven years ago today, March 21, 1890, when he tackled Jimmy Carroll in San Francisco. McAuliffe was the victor, but it took him forty-seven rounds to batter English Jimmy in- to submission. Carroll, who was call ed English Jimmy to distinguish him. from Brooklyn Jimmy Carroll, a great middleweight of that period, had been LaBlanche's second in the French-Canadian's bout with Jack Dempsey the previous year, and it was on Carroll's advice that La Blanche used the pivot blow which deprived Dempsey of the middle weight title.
 McAuliffe and Dempsey were great friends, and the former decided to get revenge by licking Carroll Demp- sey was McAuliffe's second in this af- fair. Carroll tried several times to land g. pivot blow on McAuliffe, but failed, and Dempsey unmercifully jeered him. English Jimmy later be- came the manager and trainer of Bob Fftzsimmons, and was in charge of the freckIed fellow when he won the middleweight title

SLUMP
 IN BASEBALL BUT
 DO WELL IN DRILL

Macon, Ga. March 21-The Yankee regulars slumped yesterday. They made botch of their afternoon game with the second team. The latter ar- ~ay, with a. great deal better pitching and cleaner fielding, won six-inning scrap by the one-sided reckoning of 8 to 0.
 The pitching was confined to young sters, and by three of the four who of11ciated was admirably done. Mon- roe and Love for the second team and Ferguson for the regulars were first class on the mound, but Enright, who pitched the last three rounds for the regulars, was the dam that failed to hold. The hitting was light and non- productive, except for an outburst of slams and nisplays in the fifth inning, when the second team gathered seven rurs.
 Bakers batting streak came to an end. After batting safely in every game up to yesterday, he drew a blank facing the Monroe-Love pair. Monroe is strengthening his chances of being retained by Donovan this year. He has made an excellent inn pression in the spring practice. Ara gon, the Cuban, hit safely again, making eight straight games in which he has connected for at least one bingle. Magee gathered two hits, and has become one of the leaders with the ash.
 But if the Yankees played shabby baseball, they went through their morning military drill, with Col. B. V. Smith, U. s. A., looking on, like f1n- ished troopers. They manouevred with dash and precision, and their capital performance was at once a source of surprise and pleasure to Colonel Smith, who had no idea they had become so adept. He congratu- lated them, expressed his confidence in them to win the Ban Johnson $500 prize, and in the course of his talk on the field told them that "this country must get down to big league stuff in preparedness or go to the bushes as nation"

JIM FLYNN LOSES
 BOUT TO DEVERE

New York, March 21-Jim Flynn, the Pueblo Fireman, lost to Bob De- were at the Pioneer Sporting club last night in 10 rounds simply because Devere had youth. weight. height, reach and the punch. Outside of that James got along in his usual game fashion. He took a thrashing, but he took it with stoutness of heart that at times made even Devere quail.
 Jim was no match for his rangy foe in anything but luck. He didn't take a back step unless he was knocked back. At times it seemed as if the brave fireman would surely go down under a perfect lombard ment of rights and lefts, but Jim al- ways had his little pockets full of fireworks.
 When it looked like the lowering of the asbestos curtain, Jim would sud- denly come to life and drive Devere to the ropes, on the ropes, through the ropes, in fact, all around the ropes.

HICKEY STIRS UP
 TROUBLE JUMPING
 TO THE CARDINALS

St. Louis, Mo, March 21-Only the cut and dried fornlality of an election which probably will be held at the Mercantile club today remains before Branch Rickey, former business man hger of the St. Louis club in the Amer- lean league, becomes president of the new St. Louis, club of the National league.
 With this election the final chapter In the first volume of one of the most remarkable baseball deals in history will have been written. Rickey signed three-year contract with the Car dinals calling for $15,000 a year on Monday. At present he has one year contract, with the Browns.
 The new prrsident-to-be of the Car ddnals denied categorically last night that he is in any sense contract jumper. Phil D. Ball, owner of the Browns, in an open letter to James c. Uones and w. R. Billheimer of the St. Louis Nationals fiatly accuses Hickey pf vaulting over the contract fence.
 Hickey declares that there was a verbal agreement between him and Ball that he was a free agent at any time that he had a chance to better hinself, and Insists that he is able to Z .
 He further asserts that Ball knew of his Negotiations with the Cardinals md khat as late as Monday morning wished him good luck and asked. in fact, that he (BalD be allowed to help draw up Rickey's contract in order that the latter would be thoroughly protected. He ad!ded:
 Mr. Ball and I disagreed over the saiary question. He told me that he could get 8 flock of business managers at $2.300 who could do my work We mscuAsed the question of salary sew sral times. II felt that my showing with the Browns which the books will gertfy-entftled me to the 5000 a year I asked. He finally forced me to Eign for $7.50o
 When the chance came to better myself had no hesitancy in acting, m view of the verbal agreement.''

RIBBONS CAPTURE
 STATE TITLE BY BEATING NORWALk
(By Wagner)

(By WaSuer)
 The sounds of revelry that issued from Colonial last night were not merely Jack Speidel and his fiddlers three engaged in playing They're Wearing Elm Higher in Hawaii" The tumult and the shouting also included the glad cries of the 2,000 'rooters who had just seen the Blue Ribbons down Norwalk 28 to 26 and thereby capture the state professional basket ball championship.
 Opposed by the shrill voiced girl fans. from Norwalk, the local enthusiasts had to strain the old vocal chords to get a hearing during the game but after the contest they gave the welkin a fine ringing. The contest was one of the most exciting seen here in years and Prof. Dan Guilty almost toppled from his chair in his agita- tion.
 It was a good thing Manager Leavy signed Norman and Dreyfuss to strengthen the Ribbons Otherwise Norwalk might have gone home beat ing the tin pan of victory. A player of Norman's calibre was needed to make good for the absence of Beck man and Dreyfuss was necessary in the defense department. Norman alone got IA points, ten of them on foul throws and Dreyfuss made four Both played brilliantly.
 Although on paper the Norwalk players would appear to be inferior to the Ribbons they gave a clever exhi- bition and outplayed the Ribbons un- til the latter part of the second half Leonard was particularly good, ex- ceiling Stretch Harvey in every de- partment. Holman was another Nor walk star. In the first half, when each team was allowed to assign one player to do the foul shooting, Hol- man rang up ten points. He made two more in the second half Ash mead had his hands full with Nor man and did not accomplish so much as last week.
 Eddie White. the youthful forward, enthused the fans by his splendid work and Swenson furnished the us- ual brilliant defensive display. His shooting of three successive fouls in the last half gave the Ribbons the slender margin of triumph.
 In the first half Norwalk set a rapid pace, steady foul tossing by Holman and long shots by Leonard and Hol- man keeping them in the lead so that att he end of the session the visitors were ahead by 16 to 13. The Rib bons passed them in the second period, however, which gave the local cheer ing section chance to Timber up.
 Ward Brennan proved a capable and impartial referee The score.

After cutting down Il consecutive strikes, he had the misfortune to see the ten pin stand out on his twelfth attempt which otherwise robbed him of a perfect game.

TO TEACH sFIINTOIsM

: TokiO, March 20.-Miss Toshiko Sakamaki, young Japanese woman, Is leaving for the United States to pearch Shintoism, the great Japanese religion on ancestor worship. She will settle in Los Angeles, and while her initial efforts will be to revive Shinto- ism among the Japanese in California she will strive generally to convert Americans. She explains her mission as that of endeavoring to counteract the tendency of young Japanese wo- men to neglect the beautiful man ners and customs of old Japanese ci- vilizatfon." She is the first Japanese woman Shinto missionary to visit America. Many times sought in mar riage she has always declined, declar- ing herself welded to her couse.

PATERSON LIKELY TO MEET
 RIBBONS IN INTERSTATE SERIES
Winner of Second Half to Play Local Basketball Team for League HonOrs

If Paterson should lose its remain ing -four games, which at the rate the men are travelling appears very un- likely, the Turner's could pass Pater son by winning their four remaining contests. By Paterson winning one and losing three, the Newark Turner's would still have to win four in order to make the race a tie, while if Pat erson breaks even 1t would not be pos sible for the Newark Turner's to even make the race a, tie.
 As soon as the present half is defi- nitely decided, the games having no bearing /on the final outcome will be dispensed with, so that the play-off series between the present winners, and Bridgeport, winners of the hon. ors in the first half, may be started immediately. The series will be the best three out of five games, and as Bridgeport has kept it's entire team intact since the close of the first half, the indications are that the play-off games will be equally as interesting as those staged one year ago.

JEFF TESREAU IN
 CLOSE CALL WHEN
 STRUCK BY, MOTOR

Marlin, Texas, March 21.-Big Jeff Tesreau narrowly escaped an accident yesterday morning. He was pulled out of the way of a speeding electric motor car on the track of the Houston and Texas Pacific railroad by his brother -in-law, .tPoll' Perritt, just in time to avert serious effects. The car struck Tesreau glancing blow on the hip, but he escaped without being even bruised and he suffered no i'll effects from the jar.
 Perritt, Anderson and Tesreau waiked along the railroad track to the club house after the morning practice. A freight train was being started, and the noise of it drowned the sound of the approaching car, the motorman of which did not sound the warning whistle. TeSreau, who was nearest the track on which the motor was driven, afiled to hear the car, but Perritt, who was on the outside of the trio of pitch CTS, got a, glimpse of it and, appre- ciating the danger, jumped to Tes- reaUs side and grabbed him by the arm. Tesreau pitched the last five in ningS of the game in the afternoon between the Giants and the Fort Worth team of the Texas league, and while he was hit hard, he had his usual speed.
 William Brennan, the umpire, who deserted the National league to um- pire for the Federal league and was chief of umpires Of that organization, has been appointed official umpire of the long series of games to be played by the Giants and Detroit Tigers. Brennan arrived in Marlin yesterday morning, and after conference with John U. McGraw was accepted as the arbitrator. Hughey Jennings of the Tigers, had previously agreed to ac- cept Brennan. He officiated as the umpire of yesterdays game here. The Giants won, to 6.
