LEONARD MEETS
 JOHNNY NELSON IN NEW YORK TONIGHT

New York, June 1s.-.Benny Leonard
 will take part in his first bout in 9 New York ring tonight since he won the lightweight championship of the world from Freddy Welsh. He will meet Johnny Nelson, a rugged PhM- adelphia, lightweight, ateafhe Harlem Supporting club, and an 1nteresung contest is anticipated. a.
 Leonard fought Nelson in Philadel- |phia several months ago, and Nelson, who stands high in the estimation of the Qaker City fight fans, made a
 creditajble showing. He is reputed to
 be Q. hard hitter and wages that sort of an aggressive battle which gener- ally satisfies the demand for action on the part of ring enthusiasts He stands up we'll under punish ment, and upon his arrival here last night declared that he had trained hard and faithfully for the match. He lis under the lightweight limit of 1S3
 pounds, and in discussing the bout di- |rected attention to the unexpected re- suit of the Johnny Dundee Willie
 Jackson. fight in Philadelphia
 Nelson was a spectator at the bout which saw Dundee knocked out for
 the first time in his ring career, and so impressed was he by Jackson's s
 hurricane methods that he has decided to follow suit in tonight's contest. He intends to take all sorts of chances with the hope of landing a knockout blow. In other respects this Nelson is Ia moderately ambitious young man.
 Leonard oltpointed Nelson in their previous bout, which was over a six ron1id route. TonigH1t's contest will be a ten-rounder.

ONLY. '. ONE ''Y" MAN Al YALE NOT YET
 IN U. s. SERVICE

f { J |.
 New Haven, June 1S-Yale has tNnsa a census of it's athletes and' has Hound that only one who won his "Y'' is still In college. War has claimed all except this individual, whose name tis withheld because he feels keenly his Inability to go to the front with every other member of the football, baseball, rowing and track teams. For private reasons and under faculty ad- vices he has remained in college till ico-nmencement. which began today. but he has in reality affixed his sig nature. of an enlistment blank and will join military regiment before many days.
 Yale's action in canvassing the uni- versity for atheltes was to learn the chances for resuming intercollegiate athletics next fall. especially as re- gards the football schedule, which was arranged early this spring.
 The census has made it clear that the schedule cannot be played. No elaborate formal list of games can take place, and a meeting of the Yale Athletic Council will be held here dur ing the commencement exercises to take formal action the situation. Yale wants athletics this fall, but has no athletes and has no time to

 There will be little opportunity left for athletic practice, yet the under < grnduates are clamoring for sports in ! some form.

 1t was stated by member of the Yale Athletic Council that the meet ing of that body next week would be devoted to a thorough discussion of the situation and that at that time the question of a thorough revision of intercollegiate sports would be iconsidered. It is felt that the war !! has made the time ripe for consid- ering college sports on a new basis.
 Yale appointed a committee two years ago to consider the checking of abuses in athletics, and the report Recommended abo1ishing many extrav- akant features of sports as now con- 1ucted here and other leading uni 4 versailles. High priced professional coaches and extensive retinues of coaching .staffs were condemned. No action has been taken on the report. bnt there are indications that when athletics are taken up after the war < efforts win be made to remove some of the features which have been re- garded as objectionable by the facul- sties and alumni of the three univer- sities.

Carl Morris Fails to
 Please Spectators By
 His Clinching Tactics

Carl Morris. the heavyweight, is proving to be great disappointment to many of his admirers Every time he gets into the ring the bout turns out to be more of a wrestling than a boxing match. The recent exhibition between Morris and Frank Moran in New York confirmed this statement. It was catch-as-catch can boxing match if ever there was one. Science had no part in it and the spectators all enjoyed a good nap, as they got tired of seeing both these men push each other around the ring Morris just sort of slugged his way to victory in this exhibition which was absolute ly devoid of interest. Incidentally
 the fight fans were not a bit back ward in letting their sentiments be- come known

GIANTS HAD FINE
 RECORD ON TOUR
 OF WESTERN END

New York, June 1s-The Giants won 10 games and lost five in the West. They had a successful trip and an eventual trip. In St. Louis and Cinr cinnati they ran into charges of rowdy, unsportsmanlike conduct on the field Since then, however-that is, in Chicago and Pittsburgh-therei have been no such accusations, and those who suffer from McGrawphobia will. grasp the opportunity to shout that the Giants behaved all right with McGraw suppressed.
 Some declared that defeat in Gin cinnati provoked the Giants to rough tactics, but then they were winning in St. Louis. where rowdysm also was charged. As for riding opponents, which many consider low. roughneck tactics and discreditable to any team starting them, the Giants have con- ducted themselves at home as we'll as any visiting team, and if they have done any riding don't think for 8 minutes that they are the only ones who have.
 McGraw's men outplayed everybody in the West except Cincinnati. The Rets made them stumble, just as they made the Phillies stumble The Giants lost their lead in Cincinnati and so did the Phi1Hes. The pitching wasn't of the best in the West, but the mound department is looking up since Perritt and Tesreau have recovered from ill., ness.
 For the most part the Giants played exceedingly well behind their pitchers. The batting was timely and the field ing sharp. Fletcher has been going in fine fashion at the bat and in the field, .also Zimmerman, and Robert sons hitting improved when he was dropped to lower place in the bat ting. That move, which included the advancement of Kauff to third place, worked a material improvement. Mo Carty broke his leg, two pitchers were i'll and McGraw was suspended for 16, days, yet the Giants are doing dis tinctly better work than they were doing at home. They seem to fight hardest in the enenay's country.

BIG LEAGUE BITS

Whether you like it or not, you've got to take off your hat to little Fred Maisel of the Yankees. His work , at second base is steadily improving and he is developing into one of the stars of thee egame.
 A-- J.
 And speaking of second basemen. there's Pep Young of the Tigers. Pep is proving that there is more than passing importance in his name.
 Washington fans have been breath ing easier since President Ban John son of the American League assured them that the Washington club would be retained in that league, despite the fact that the attendance at the capital is so meagre as to fail of paying ex- penses. Johnson excuses Washing tons lack of interest at the present time on the score of business pertain ing to the war, and he is undoubtedly right. So the hopes of other cities of getting into the American League are dashed for the .resent, at least
 Napoleon Lajoie, manager and sec ond baseman of the Toronto Interna- tional League club, is all excited over that UldInOuQ studded Maltese SIOSSi gift of the American League. for which he played many years. Presi- dent Barlow of the International League and Arthur A. Irwin, business manager of the Toronto club. are both very fond of Lajoie and credit him with having done much for base ball in the Dominion.
 A more serious game than base- ball is now occupying the personal at tention of Capt. T. l.. Huston, part owner of the Yankees. Capt. Hus- ton is completing preparations to go to France with a regiment of en- gineers from Detroit. Needless to state, he is a most enthusiastic fan and one of the most popular men identified with the game. Capt. Illus ton saw service during the Spanish American war as a railroad and bridge builder in Cuba and his ability as an engineer will be devoted te bringing victory to the Allies.

GREAT RALLY IN SEVENTH PLEASES
 NEWFIELD CROWD
(By Wagner.)


 Those Worcester boys may not be the greatest players in the league but they certainly are the worlds premier kickers They gave Umpire Tex Er- win an earful yesterday, talking to him in groups and mixing the mob scenes with short speeches by single athletes. The umpire as usual won all arguments.
 Because Gloomy Gus Gardella missed the train, Manager McGinley had to go into right field himself. The an cient gentleman was greeted with bright remarks every time he came to bat but he took it on the umpire. There was plenty of hitting and the crowd of over 5000 voted it the end of a perfect day when the home club won by s to B.,
 Dug Smith began the festivities for Bridgeport and for four innings he was a real performer. He stubbed his toe in the fifth and after the enemy had scored twice Manager Krichell sent Gingras to the hill. This proved a good move as Gingras prevented further scoring during the remainder of the game.
 McQuillan, one of the best pitchers in the. league, was on deck for Wor- eester. He bothered the locals except in the seventh. Hank Bracket, Cor coran and Egan got two hits each. IT addition Bracket won applause in the eighth by @ superb running catch od Helfrtch's fly. Bracket fell and spur around on his ear after getting the ball.
 Here is what happened in the sew enth when the locals were behind by 3 to ?. Bracket singled, Corcoran was | eyorP filling the bases. Then Deininge1 doubled to left. scoring Bracket and oCrcoran. Briggs hit brought Lear and Deininger in. That sent the fans home to supper with fine appetities. The score:

 It was brilliant pitchers battle but, Clancy finally defeated Farrell. Clancy, the former High school star has won his last six starts and the Nationals success is due entirely to his fine box work. Clancy had IS strike-outs.- The, other features were the two base hit by Kie1y and the home runs by Clancy and McGran.

M'GRAW'S CASE BEFORE DIRECTORS
 OF LEAGUE TODAY

New York, June 1s.-The case of John McGraw, who charges President Tener of the National league with partiality to the Philadelphia club, was taken up at special meeting of the board of directors of the National league in this city today. All of the clubs are now represented on the Nboard.
 The National league wired McGraw to be present at the meeting to be held this morning. He was told that it was most important he should at tend. Secretary Foster, in reply, wired to the. league that it will be impossible for tMcGraw to be in New York today, as he is the big feature of an exhibi- tion game to be played by the Giants in Wellesville, N. r.. where McGraw started his career.
 The New York club has formally withdrawn it's protest of McGraw's s punish ment for punching Byron. Hampstead, according to Western re- ports, took this action on the advice of McGraw, who says he is willing to take his medicine. However, he also still stands to the remarks he made in Pittsburgh last Friday, in which he severely criticised Tener's policy

RED SOX SLIPPING.

Manager Jennings of the Detroit club says the Red sox have blown and are not to be considered as a factor Tn the American league pennant race.
 Jennings may be putting the case a little too strongly but at any rate the Red Sox have been slipping badly in the last three weeks.
 Against the western clubs the Sox won only three games out of 12. They even lost two out of three to the St.
 Louis Browns considered the weakest
 of. the western crowd Writers think the trouble is lack of reserve pitching strength. The Sox have foar fine
 hurlers in Ruth, Leonard, Shore and Mays but the relief pitchers, Pennock,
 Jones and oneor two others, are not of high califbre. Many managers claim four good pitchers are enough for any club and 1t may be possible tha the Sox singers will come out of their | slump and start winning again.
