J. Henry Walters, chairman. said yesterday that he had the assurance that eight of the fifteen members would vote for the bill. t@e
 The measure had been pigeonholed by the committee for. weeks, while waiting for action by the assembly. on the identical G. T. Davis bill. The lower house having twice beaten the Davis bill, the senate will have to act on the Slater bill. It is almost cer- tain to pass the senate, but. like the Davis bill, is due for fight in the assembly.
 Governor whitman will use all the powers of his office to force the anti boxing legislation through both houses. He has conferred with Speak CT Sweet, and it is understood that he has not only served notice on him that he wants the Slater bill sent to him to be signed. but has expressed his displeasure in no uncertain terms over the fate of the Davis bill. While pressure from the executive chamber and the speaker will un- doubtedly have its effect on many recalcitrant assemblymen, not a few of them have declared that If another nti-boxing measure is brought up in the house it will be beaten worse than ever. '+t -,
 Governor Whitman expressed satis- faction today when informed that Les Darcy, the Australian fighter, had enlisted in the American Aviation corps at Memphis.
 "I am very gratified,'' he said. ito learn that Darcy has enlisted. and sincerely hope that others of the pro- fession will follow his example, as I am quite sure that their service can be of the greatest value to their country in her time of need"

There is a we'll founded rumor go- ing the rounds that Benny Leonard and Freddie Welsh, two of the great est lightweights in the world, will be secn in action against each other in 20-round bout in Bridgeport on In- dependence day, says the Bridgeport Telegram. If the match is made and permission is received from the city and state authorities to conduct the bout the men will meet at the old circus grounds under a tent. Seating arrangements could be made for about 10000 people. and it is expect- ed that if the battle is staged this number would attend it. The only hitch in the deal is to secure the consent of the state officials It is as- sured that the city authorities would
 not interfere. There are many influen- tial business men of the city interest ed in the bout. They will probably try to induce Governor Holcomb to approve of the arrangements

Cullop Again Proves an Enigma
 to Barry's Boys

Boston. April 24.-Jack Barry, the young manager of the worlds cham pion Red sox. dedicated day set aside by Hub fandom to do him honor to forcing a game on the some what unwilling Yankees. The final score was 9 to 6.
 For some strange reason Barry fln- ally decided to start a highlander against New York. Doubtless he anticipated a stiff defence behind Nick Cullop's southpaw offerings. Nick. who was mixing his first start of the year. had been poison to the Hubbites all last season. He wasn't up to his 1916 form by q long way And his case was complicated by a sies e-like support. Now York's dam aging errors ruined whatever chance Nick might have had to get off to a flying start. The score:

George Chip, the Newcastle middle weight, knocked out Val Sontag of Brooklyn in the second round of a scheduled ten round bout before the Moose club in Bridgeport lst night. Sontag, substituting for Zulu Kid, who was unable to box because of an ab- scess in his right ear, proved no match for Chip. who hit him when and where he chose. Chip knocked his man down for a six-second count in the opening round and in the second landed fussilade of blows to the body and face that finally put Sontag down and out for five minutes The bout, which attracted the smallest crowd of the year, was disappointing all through. In the. semi-final bout Billy Richards of this city quit at the end of the fifth round to Battling Kunz, lightweight champion of the state. Richards consented to box Kunz at five hours notice, substitut- ing for Tony Marengo, who is i'll. Kunz held the whip hand all the way while the bout lasted.

 Morris fought like stevedore. He showed a. willingness to take a punch fo land one in every round. Often Cofrey jolted him with rights to the inv. but Morris always kept pressing forward.
 In a finish fight Morris certainly would have worn the Irishman down. Tn the ninth 1t looked as though Coffey were ready tosdrop.
 The slender Irish boy wabbled as ha went to his corner. but he came hack fighting mad. He sent rights , and lefts to Morris jaw. jarring the big Oklahoman. Coffey's friends were son their feet yelling. =s
 For a second 1t. looked as though Morris might be battered down. But Morris reeled forward instead of backward, forcing Coffey to the ropes. Referee Buckley forced them apart and just as the gong sounded Coney sent in a last smashing right to the jaw.
 Morris made use of his superior we,eht all through the battle, some tsmes almost wrestling Coffey through the ropes. In the open fighting Coney had the better. The Irishman hooked hetter in this bout than in many that he won easily. He showed stamina end endurance which his critics dio not admit was in him.

USE CORN STALKS.

Corn stalks and straw are going tC
play an important part in solving the
live stock situation this year. The
high price OF feed has forced great
many cattle raisers to sell their stock
and cOnfine themselves entirely to the
grain farming.
Concerning the importance of the
corn stalks. railroad sending ont its
agricultural letter says:
Farmers should be aroused to the
value OF corn stalks as feed and
urged TO cut and shock corn before it
Is too late. Experiments have shown
that field cured corn makes very
good ration for cattle when fed with
oil meal. AT the Nebraska station ten
steers with an average weight OF 976
pounds at the beginning OF the test
made an average daily gain Of 2.33
pounds each for five months on an
average daily ration of 2G1 pounds of
corn and 2.3 pounds OF oil meal and

LUMBER SUBSTITUTES.

years lumber will not amount to more
than half OF all our building material
Much OF this change has been due
10 the growing scarcity Of lumber. But
more OF It Is due to TIE merit of other
stun. The superiority Of steel, brick.
tile. stone and concrete for business
buildings OF cement instead OF blanks
for Sidewalks of tile or composition
instead OF wooden shingles for roofs
needs no comment. The new material
is more permanet and more freprool
Thus, despite their higher initial cost
they are generally found more eco.
nomical in the long run. The ten.
dency to substitution, says Forest
Service report, has affected about
every purpose for which wood is used

Nevertheless our forests are still
