YANKS DOWN
RED SOx after
THRILLING RALLY

Boston, Mass, April esterday
afternoon when the Red Sox cleaned
I'D three runs in the fifth inning of
their game with the Yankees and took
a to 2 lead, everything looked dark
for Bill Donovans' warriors. Prosper
ity, however was too much fo- the
worlds champions, who were cele-
brating Jack" Barry Day" with a
banquet and al that sort Of thing. BY
means Of some healthy walloping and
q break or two of luck, the Yankees
tied the score against Ernie Shore be-
fore the eighth inning passed, and
then walked into George Foster S
pitching for garrison finish Of three
runs, which corralled the game, 9 to
g.
The Sox did some lively hitting
against Cullop early in the day, but
Slim Love was equal to the task of
holding the champions back while
the Yankees were putting on their
winning touches along toward dusk
The Sox made a dozen hits and the
Hfghlanders made nine, but six Of
these came in the last three innings,
when Red Sox miscues and battery
weaknesses presented opportunities Of
which the New Workers were not
slow to avail themselves.
The Donovan finish was a very
CLASSY affair. The score was to
when the fun started, Gilhooley work
ing Foster for g. pass and High clip
ping a single to left. Maisel also
singled through the infield and Gill
hooley scored, but only because
Catcher Cady dropped Lewis throw
to the plate. The throw had been
dead on the mark.
Bakers single to right then
Brought High across, after which
Maisel squeezed home from third on
Magee's slow tap down to Barry.
Prior to the finish both teams played
DANGEROUSLY loose ball, but the Yam
KEGS surely had the punch at the
end

CHIP WASTES
NO Time GIVING
KNOCKOUT BLOW
(By Wagner.)

Somebody told George Chip he was
wanted on the phone SO he gave Val
Sontag a quick finish in the little dis
pute at the Casino last night. In the
second round Chip leaned one ponder
Gus paw against Sontag and the fav-
orite son of Seattle, Wash, heard the
birds singing in the trees. Then it
was a case Of everybody rushing for
the trolley cars.
Although Sontag had previously
outpointed the Zulu Kid, the man
originally selected to oppose Chip. the
Seattle boy was no match for the
burly Chip. When the Zulu Kid was
injured, however, the Moose A. c.
matchmaker had to get somebody in
a hurry and he declared Sontag was
the best opponent in sight. The bout
proved to be a disappointment, how
ever.
A substitution in the semi-f1nal also
took all the pep out Of that event.
Battling Kunz always works hard to
please the fans but he couldn't give
a very satisfactory exhibition against
Billy Richards, who replaced Tommy
Merango. Richards held Kunz con-
tinually and in the first two rounds
the crowd Kissed because there was
no action. Then Kunz let loose and
punished Richards so badly that the
latter quit at the end of the fifth.
The audience didn't like this affair
and didn't hesitate to say so.
The best bout of the evening was
ten rounder between Bud Palmer Of
this city and Johnny Martin Of DAN
bury. These boys were slow in warm
ing up but they went at a lively clip
after they got started. Martin sew
eral times rushed Palmer to the ropes
but the East Bridgeport boy always
came book and his body blows were
damaging to Martin. A draw would
be fair verdict in this event. Louie
Bogash beat Young Hogan in the four
round preliminary which kept the
crowd good natured.
The audience was only of fair size
and it is probable the promoters of
the show lost some money.
Young McAuliffe was given a fine
reception when he was introduced. He
accepted the challenge of Billy
Hughes but it will probably by three
weeks at least before McAuliffe's in
jured hands will be right again.

Sporting Chatter

Medical science has made wonder
full strides in the last few years, but
no serum has been discovered that
will cure an umpire or southpaw
pitcher.
Begins to look as if the Central
League Of Europe would be reduced to
a Glass D circuit.
Ferocious plasterers and belliger-
enough class to tackle Jess willard,
somebody should now dig up mill
tant nilliner.
The best man never wins in a
heavyweight battle these days, because
the best man is too busy with the cir
Gus.
Rabbit Meanwhile and Memo Lei
bold are said to be the shortest play
ers in the big leagues this year, but
wait until some of the speedy spend
ers get going good.
The Russians have won their fight
for liberty from the autocracy, but
they still have to put up with a lot of
heavyweight wrestlers.
If New Work abolishes the Boxing
Commission. they should at least have
q Fighting Commission to govern hos
tilities.
The raucous cry of the rooter will
be heard tomorrow along the north
ern Pacific coast. when the North
western League gets into action. This
old circuit, which started as the Pa
cific-Northwest League in 1901, has
had to make many shifts to survive,
but this years lineup Of cities is the
same as in 1915. Vancouver at Ia
coma, Butte at Spokane, and Great
Falls at Seattle, is the inaugural day
program. Seattle promises a novelty
in the way of a Chinese player who
had made a great reputation in Ha-
wall.

HARVARD DECIDES
TO START SPORT
ACTIVITIES AGAIN

Cambridge, Mass, April 24-Har-
wards program in sports this spring is
to continue intramura1 athletics and
informal contests with other colleges
in baseball, track and crew, according
to an announcement made last night
by Fred w. Moore. graduate manager
of the Harvard Athletic association.
There appears to be feeling here,
especially among the athletes, that the
college authorities acted too hastily in
abandoning Intercollegiate sports, espe-
cially since it now seems likely that
the government will discontinue mill
tary training here this month.
Coaches Duffy, Haines, and Dono-
van were at their respective quarters
today. Twenty men reported for
baseball, and As fot track work.
& Mr.. Moorse says:
''It has been the experience of Eng
land and Canada, both at their uni
versities and with their armies in the
field, that it is not desirable to cut out
athletic sports, however serious the
situation. With a long period of pre-
paration before us it is decidedly un-
necessary and unwise to do so here.
Even in the present unsettled condi-
ton there is no reason why we should
put an end to those normal activities
which we may with fitness continue.
The track work and rowing will COM
thinue at the convenience of the men
reporting. In the absence Of the
usual spring practice the football men
not in other sports should report for
work in the field events.
while we are preparing for war let
us not completely forget the occupa-
tons Of peace which may, to certain
extent. be Of value in the great work
we are undertaking.

BrooklaWn Club to
Vote on Site For
New Tennis Courts

Tennis playing and proposed loca'
ton Of new courts at the Brooklawn
Country club is the engrossing topic
among the members today. The deci-
sion Of the club to resume the play
that has been neglected for two years
during the construction of the new
clubhouse, the appointment of a com.
mittee to superintend the campaign
and a division Of opinion over loca-
tons chosen by the board of COVER
nors has resulted in a call for spe'
cia1 meeting Of the club.
The meeting will be held at the
clubhouse Wednesday evening, April
25, when it is expected large attend.
ance will be present. The club vote
will decide the location which must
be permanent.
In circular being issued to every
member Of the Brooklawn club it is
asserted: ''Some time ago it was voted
by the board of governors to build
new tennis courts on the location
shown by the chart herewith. Re-
Gently, however, 1t was felt by the
board of governors that the location
of the courts had best be determined
by a formal vote of the club, so the
previous action was rescinded and
the matter referred to the club mem.
bership to be acted upon at the meet
ing of April 25."
The tennis committee has unani-
mously recommended the location of
the courts approximately southeast Of
the clubhouse, near the present 18th
green Of the golf course. The rea-
sons which are said to have actuated
this choice is that the cost Of grad.
ing would be less than elsewhere, that
play may be witnessed from the club.

DRAWS
WITH NORRIS
IN GREAT BOUT

New York, April 24-Carl Morris,
and Jim Coffey, fousht ten rounds last
night at the Manhattan A. c., and
the big boys ended with honors even.
Morris kept clinching and roughing
most of the way, but when it came
down to fine work Coffey had the
shade.
Jim put up a wonderful fight, fin
ishing strong, after looking like going
under in the earlier stages. In con-
sequences Of his showing he still dis
putes Carts claim to match with
Jess Willard for the worlds cham
pionship. Morris advantage of al
most 25 pounds was the handicap
which almost upset Cuffey, this. and
the Oklahoma mans worrying style.
Weighing PA pounds and looking
as fit as ever in his career, Morris
tugged and mauled and smashed as
best as he knew how until he had Jim
tired and with his legs apparently
likely to buckle. In the fourth
round Coffey's supporters began to
ioak as if they were about to act as
pallbearers at the funeral of friend.
It looked like an unmistakable signal
Of distress when in a nix-up COffeys
knees buckled. Jim looked little bet
ter in the fifth round, but with this
over he appeared to regain courage,
strength and speed.
In the sixth round Jim changed
his tactics shifted from a lead to
body attack, and while it is not clear
that Morris was in the least distress
ed, it is a fact that from this point
COffey's fortunes began TO improve.
The last round found the Irishman
fighting with his second wind, and as
he hooked and swung and smashed at
the face Of the charging Morris, his
admirers roared themselves hoarse.
A wrangle as to the referee began
almost with the opening Of the doors
and continued until the last preim-
mary was pretty we'll through. Bill
Brown was the early choice, but Cot
fey had seen how Bill allowed Morris
to rap his strangle holds about the
person Of Fred Fulton and did not feel
like having any of that sort of medi.
cine.
Eventually Jim Buckley was Sc
lected as the third man in the ring
and at the finish he declared it was
one of the hardest jobs he had ever
tackled without going into hard train
ing. Buckley interposed his bulk be-
tween the giants successfully, and
here is another reason why Coffey was
not showed under. Jim showed far
better generalship than had Fulton
and is entitled to lot of credit for the
showing he made.

Cyrus Townsend Brady
To Give Address Here

Cyrus Townsend Srady, the noted
writer and lecturer, will speak in
Bridgeport next Tuesday evening. He
will deliver his war addresses at the
parish house of Christ church at 7
o'clock on that evening, when the.
Mems club will hold a meeting.
In his youth Mr.. Brady was in the
United States Navy and when this
war broke out he offered his services.
He was too old for active duty how
ever, and to do his share for the coun.

until he met Sandy Ferguson in Bos-
ton in 1909. Sandy knocked AL out
in the fourth round.
Kubiak then tried his luck in Paris
but Joe Jeanette put him to sleep,
and Sam McVey repeated the trick
On his return to America in 1910 Ku-
biak was knocked out by Sam Lang
ford in New York and by Morris Har-
ris in Philadelphia.
In 1911 the big Teuton twice fought
Joe jeanette, and was twice knocked
out Later AL defeated Carl Morris
in Atlanta, but lost to Jim Savage in
the same city. 1t is to be said in
Kubiak's favor that he was one of
the few hopes who dared to tackle
Jeanette, Langford and McVey.

FEW GERMANS HAVE

HISTORY OF THE RING

While many Americans Of German
descent have won success in the ring,
very few natives of the Kaiser's en-
pire have accomplished much as pugi-
lists. Al Kubiak, who was born in
Germany 80 years go today, April "a.
1887, Is about the only native Teuton
who has founght in the heavyweight
ranks, and Al wasn't very much of
scrapper. A big fellow, standing we'll
over six feet he lacked boxing skill
and several other qualities necessary
to the successful heavyweight. Kubiak
began fighting in Tampa, Fla, about
10 years ago, and was not defeated
