NO TITLES ARE
LOST IN BOXING
SHOW AT PARK
(By Wagner.)


The three titles are still in the
safe although some scoundrels tried
to take them away from our bows at
the Park theatre last night The
rascals were given the hand and foot
except in the case of frankie Conf
Trey who took a mean advantage and
spoiled the evening by getting a de-
c1sion over Light weight Champion
Battling Kunz of South Norwalk. But
as kunz was not knocked out he still
retains his precious title.
Hugh Ross, who holds the middle
weight honors, nearly dropped his
crown. An upstart named Tex Kelly
from New York who fights in the style
favored by Cowboy Charley Stands,
almost pushed Ross from the throne.
Kelly had lots Of steam in his
punches and had loss backing up at
tunes. The bout as a whole was as
tame as chess tournament and the
pest thing to do is call it draw
and try to forget it,
|, Young. McAulfffe. who puts feather
weight champion on his letter heads,
was also handed a surprise package
Johnny Hayes of New York, although
ne appeared innocent in the first two
rounds, came to life suddenly and be-.
gan to lombard McAuliffe The local
BOY Weathered the storm and by great
work In the lattr part of the fight
earned the decision.
Ali three of the main bouts lasted
the scheduled ten rounds. 1t was
expected that Kunz, because Of his
superior height and reach, would
overwhelm Conifrey but so such
thing happened. Kunz did a lot of
rushing but instead OF giving ground
Conifrey planted a fine collection of
swats on the South NorwaIk fayorite
son. Kunz's face was cut and he was
a pretty tired boy after Conifrey had
hacked at him for ten rounds. Conf,
frey was clearly entitled to the
honors.
McAuliffe started at Hayes as if
he would quickly finish the New
Yorker. About the third session he
began to slow up and Hayes came to
the front. After he had landed a few
that rocked McAuliffe the East Slider
became annoyed. y He chased HAYES
around the ring and in the last half
or the affair had the better of things
by wide margin.
Ross showing against Kelly was
great disappointment. 1t is probable
kelly's awkward style is what made
Ross cautious. At any rate he did not
have his usual supply Of pep. A wild
man like Kelly who is able to deliver
a haymalSer any time is apt to make
any of the clever boxers of the Ross
typ go slowly. But on his showing
last night Ross doesn't deserve better
than draw.
In the preliminary Johnny Bennett
and Johnny Sharpe appeared in
four round draw that was a good
thing to sleep through. A large crowd
saw the show, which was conducted
by the Bridgeport Sporting club. The
gallery and balcony were filled but
there were some vacant seats in the
orchestra.

ST. LOUIS CARDS
REPORTED FOR SALE

st. Louis, March "Details Of a
scheme to sell the franchise, players
and grounds Of the St Louis National
league baseball club were discussed
last night by James c. Jones' attorney
for the club. Jones said he had OBJ
tained the consent Of the owner, Mrs.
Helene Hathaway Britton, to dispose
OF the property for $350,0O0. Jones'
idea is to sell stock to the general

season ticket will be issued, the
ticket to become the property of some
one under Is years of age.
The scheme also embraces sort of
boy scouts annex, The boys who re-
Nceive stock are to be formed into a
cadet corps, consisting of infantry,
cavalry artillery and machine gun
troops a bugle end fife and drum

SIDETRACK MCCOY TO LET
! JACK DILLON MEET Les DARCY
Commission Gives Ruling Against Champion
Governor May Still Prevent Bout

New York, March If Les Darcy
is permitted to make his debut next
Monday at the Garden he will have
Jack Dillon as his leading support.
This was practically decided yester-
day through an informal opinion
handed the State Athletic Commission
by Deputy Acknowledgement Ober-
meier. The opinion upholds the
management of the Garden in its
action of substituting Dillon, for Al
Mccoy, and also adds that the latter S
only remedy is am appeal to the
courts.
The opinion was really an answer
to the appeal of Mccoy to the COM
mission for protection in Mondays
bout. The middleweight champion
forwarded his request a few days ago,
claiming his contract still held.
Mccoy demanded that the commits
sion see to it that his rights weren't
trampled upon He asserted there
was no fair reason why he should be
sidetraoked and Dillon brought in as
"a substitute.
The contention of the Garden folk
that his engagement with Dillon
Tuesday night invalidated his con-
tract was fatty denied by Messy. In
his opinion Attorney Obermeier went
on to say that when the commission
ordered Mccoy to box Dillon the
Garden management deemed the ru1-
ing to be tantamount to an official
cancellation of it's contract with Nc
Coy. 1t then proceeded to sign up

Albany, March Frank B. Lord,
counsel to Governor Whitman, spent
today studying the defense act of
Australia. AS the result Of his dis
covery, and as the result of inferma-
ton received from the State Boxing
Commission, it is believed Governor
Whitman Will act at once to prohibit
the prize fight between Les Darcy and
Jack Dillon, scheduled to be held in
Madison Square Garden next Monday
night.
Darcy did not run away from con,
scription for service in Europe The
proposal to adopt CONSUMPTION was
beaten by vote of the people of Aus

managerD shipped as stowaways,
Darcy travelling under the alias of
Leslie Dawson.
Though not legally liable for SER
vice in Europe, Darcy is an TAB
sconder from military service in his

liam Holienbach as coach, of the Syr-
acuse University football team, mem
bers of the football squad almost to a
man yesterday signed a petition adj
dressed to Hollenback himself, re-
questing his resignation.

Gin view of the feeling and dis
content that has arisen among the
football players, students and alumni
of Syracuse University, we, the un-
dersigned feel that it is for the best
interest of all that Hollenback resign
and we petition him TO do so.''
A similar petition was given to
Chancellor Day before noon It is
not known what action the coach
will take, but it is generally believed
that he will resign, especially since
the sentiment of the members of the
team has been so outspoken against
him.

MATTY GIVES UP
new YORK FLAT TO
LIVE IN CINCINNATI

New York, March 1-Christy
Mathewson, who for almost II years
made his home in New York, yester-
day left this city for Cincinnati,
where he will reside during his term
as manager of the Reds. The former
star pitcher Of the Giants, who was
the hero of many thrilling baseball
contest at the Polo Grounds, wass far
from being overjoyed at leaving a
CITY in which he gained all his fame.
"You know it means a lot to me to
have~to quit this town, the town that
gave me my reputation" said Matty.
ct have remained here as long as
could. I have been here since boy,
and fully realize that all my success
on thed iamond was due to the splen-
did attitude of my New York friends.
I'll be back frequently, but it won't
be like in the old days.
cit is not that regret to go to
Cincinnati. On the contrary I'm de-
lighted to think I have chance to
lead major league club. But it is
just that feeling that all of you have
had when you had to leave the old
familiar sights that are so interviewer
with your earlier days.
After spending a few days in Gin
cinnati Matty will go to Shreveport,
La, to superintend the training of the
Reds.

M'CRAW Gets
TO MARLIN AND
INSPECTS CLUB

Marlin, Texas. March with the
arrival of Manager McGraw yester-
day things began to hum In the camp
OF the Giants McGraw who was due
here Tuesday night, missed connec-
ton at Houston yesterday and was
several hours late. However, he came
in time to direct morning practice at
Emerson Park. He was accompanied
by Mrs. McGraw and the irresistible
Germany Schaefer, who will be MS
guest here. Schaefer donned a uni
form, but will not be carried as
PLAYER though he may establish some
connection with the club later on.
A change in the weather shortened
the practice yesterday afternoon. The
sky was overcast all day and the tenn
perature fell twenty degrees in the
morning. The players had been at
work about an hour yesterday after
noon when a drizzling rain set in. It
was clear last night, however, and
warm. McGraw said he would be as
well satisfied with COON weather the
first few days, as the players would
not then be tempted to overdo things.
y The manager put on uniform and
self. The morning session brought
all the pitchers in brief review before
McGraw, and in the afternoon Catch
err Mccarthy and his assistants again
warmed up the entire staff. McGraw
did not permit hhy pitcher to remain
on the slab more than five minutes.
He was much interested in Jim Mid
dleton, as he had never seen the
Louisville man in action before.
q At the close Of afternoon batting
exercises McGraw lined up some in
field combinations and kept them
busy for half hour, rain finally
stopping his operations The first in
nel1- cansistfd at Holke, first nase'
Rodriguez, second base; Kilduff, short,

There is nothing more restful than
playing billiards with Willie-except

Porto's Illness May
Handicap New Haven
Bowlers In Big Event

4 New Haven, Mar New Ravens
chances of finishing up among the
leaders at the big bowling tournament
at Grand Rapids this month were
considered unusually bright until last
night when it became known that
Joseph Porto, one of the mainstays of
the team is confined to his home with
a heavy cold. Porto contracted the
cold the night of the Benefit concert.
Porto's condition has caused con-
siderable alarm in the bowling ranks
as ih is feared that he may not be in
shape to do himself justice at the
tournament. A year ago Porto was
taken sick several weeks before the
tournament and left the hospital in
q weakened condition, to accompany
the team to Toledo.
Although Porto's illness is not
considered serious, his physician has
ordered him to take every precaution
or he may be forced to forego the
pleasure of going West. Porto, how
ever, says he will make the trip if he
has to be carried to the station on a
stretcher-

BIG ed WALSH
MAY REMAIN AS
COACH AT YALE

New Haven, Mar. 1T was re-
ported in Yale baseball circles last
night that Ed. Walsh, former pitch
ing mainstay Of the Chicago club Of
the American league, may be asked
to sign a contract to coach the Yale
pitchers during the college season.
Walsh has been coaching the pitch
ers in the Yale cage during the past
few days under the proviso that he
might quit when the baseball season
opens.
The Blue pitchers have benefited
to a great extent by Walsh's coach
ing and in some quarters it is felt
that he should be made permanent
member of the coaching staff There
is little doubt but that Walsh would
accept if the matter of salary could
be adjusted satisfactorily.
\ Walsh has come to New Haven
during the past few years to assist in
the coaching, but his position with
the White Sox forced him to leave
just at time when his services could
be used to the greatest advantage.
This year Walsh is free agent and
it will not be necessary for him to
leave on any certain date. He has
already passed up several offers to
manage minor league ball clubs.
Walsh has always taken consider
able interest in Yale baseball In
past years he has come from his home
in Meriden and spent many hours
With the Blue stars and near-stars.
The former. iron man has host of
friends here who believe that he
would prove valuable asset to Yale
If he remained with the team
throughout the season.
Walsh was prominently mentioned
for head coach of the team at the
time Frank Quinby was deposed in
favor of the present coach, Billy
Lauder. Lauder and Walsh, it is be-
lieved, would build up winning COM
bination out Of the promising talent

Dartmouth Likely
To Name Hawley As
New Football Coach

New Haven, March las successor
to Frank W.. CavanaAgh as football
coach at Dartmouth, Jesse Hawley, 90.
for several years coach Of the Univer-
sity of Iowa elevens, probably will be
named by the Dartmouth athletic
council
In this appointment the Chicago
alumni, especially Walter e. McCor-
mack, '97, will have had considerable
voice. Hawley was the choice Of many.
OF the western men after the 1914 sea-
son, when Cavanaugh asked for a
larger salary than the athletic council
would give him, and the difference in
the figures was made up by subscrip-
ton among the graduates.
Groups of the western alumni, it is
said, declined to be identified with this
fund, on the ground that Hawley
could be engaged for the sum the ath-
let1c council was willing to expend.

CUtL0P'S CLEVER
HURLING PLEASING
TO YANKEE PILOT

Macon. Ca, March 1-Squatted
upon the weayher-beaten railing In
front of one OF the box seats at the
Central City ball grounds yesterday
afternoon was wild Bill Donovan,
manager Of Col, Rupperts ana Capt.
Huston's noble troupe of athletes
known as the Yankees and American
league pennant aspdrants. Heavy
black clouds hung overhead and every
now and then raindrops spattered
against his face. But Smiling Will
liam did not mind the rain or the
black clouds, for he was focusing his
eyes on his big assortment Of pitch
ers who were cutting loose for the
first time this year.
All Of the twirlers, from Bob Shaw
key down to Alex Ferguson, the
young semi-pro from Bloomfield,
pitched at least five minutes to the
batters, and were instructed by Duke
Farrell, using baseball expression,
to put something" on the ball.
Nick Cullop, the lefthander, was
the first to occupy the pitching
mound at the afternoon session.
Nick mixed them up in great style
and Donovan,s we'll known emile be-
came broader as the batters made
fruitless and vain attempts to
straighten out his slow curves.
Furthermore, Cullop bowed more
speed than usual, far more in fact
than seemed safe SO early in the
training season. He looked ready,
however, to start the battle for the
American league pennant right now. .
This will be a great advantage 70
Donovan and the team, as It Will be
remembered that it was month or
so after the season started last year
before Cullop pitched his first game.
It is probable that the opening game
Of the seayon a, the Polo Grounds on
April II will fall on either the should
ers of Cullop or Shawkey.
Shawkey, like Cullop, is in fine
physical condition and will be ready
to pitch whenever called on by Dono-
van. Bob has been here for several
weeks with hia wife and looks the
picture Of health Much of his time
has been occupied in playing golf.
Bob McGraw, the six-footer from
Clorado Univer sfty. impressed Dono-
van by his work yesterday. McGraw
is an overland pitcher and his mo-
ton is free and easy. He brings both
hands over his head and then shoots
the ball down with considerable
speed. Hell was the only one Of the
pitchers who failed to use a curve
ball.

YALE BEATEN BY
PRINCETON IN FAST
HOCKEY ENCOUNTER

New York, March Princeton
rushed from behind in the third and
decisive hockey match with Yale at
st. Nicholas Rink last night, and at
ter three extra periods Bill Hum
phreys, the Tiger rover, slammed
home the goal which beat the Ellis by
to 2. Not In many year has such
an emotional, hysterical college hoe
key game been played in New, York.
The rink was jammeds with a crowd
which had strong Princeton flavor,
and the place was in an uproar
from the time the puck was first put
into play.
In the first period Yale shot two
goals, and had what looked like a
comfortable lead. In the second
period Hills was substituted for Comey
at Princeton's left wing. Hills show
ed HIS deep appreciation Of this change
by shooting the Tigers' first tally.
This lone goal gave Princeton just
that necessary confidence which was
lacking when Yale made her early
rush. The Humphrey boys, Bill at
rover and big Jack at cover point,
began to tear holes In the Yale team.
Before that second half had ended,
Bill Humphreys was planted violently
on the ice by an Eli enemy, and he
got so angry that he picked himself
up out OF the melee OF players and
quickly shot the goal -vhfch tied the
score.
The st. Nicholas Rink began to
shake under the roar Of the Princeton
cheers when the second half ended
with the score tied, at 2 to 2. Then
followed two extra periods Of five
minutes each, during which neither
side could score. Yale almost grab
bed the game on one play, when
Henry Ford at the Princeton cage fell
down in front Of his station as the
puck merrily bounded it's way toward
the net. Ford, still sprawled on the
ice, reached out with his stick and
halted the puck just tong enough to
save the game for the Tigers
Princeton developed more agrees
siveness as the game wore on into ex-
ira time, and big Jack Humphreys
was mountain which stoou IN Yaie's
path to victory. This JACK Hum
phreys, at coverppint, was the most
important part of the Princeton out
fit, and he, all by his lonesomeness,
held the highly excited Yale players
at bay just about long enough 80 give
his brother Bill time enough to shoot
goal from whirl jof human mael-
strom OF players in front of the Eli
cage.

is reliably stated that fewer BAH

does not appear to have been a howl.
ing success. Between these facts and
the breaking out of a revolution last
month one may readily observe the
relation of cause and effect. Altar
years of baseball enthusiasm, the
fans simply had to zee a fight some
way, and, with the umpires and play
ers no longer mixing it, what was left
but a revolution?
