JAKE KILRAIN WAS
 PROUD OF BELT HE
 DEFENDED so LONG

In the old days of bare knuck1e fighting a champion who didn't have an ornate and expensive belt couldn' t have got by at all. In Great Britain Lord Lonsdale has revived the old practice of giving elaborate belts to the champions in the various divisions but on this side of the Atlantic a pugilistic champ doesn't care whether he has belt or not.
 Today is the 58th birthday of Jake Kilrain, who was the original holder of what was perhaps the most scrumptious and valuable belt ever made. Jake, a native of Long Island, whipped lot of good heavies in the early sos, and repeatedly challenged John l.. Sullivan to battle. The Bos- tonian was slow in coming to terms, destinies of American pugilism de- clared Kilrain the champion.
 The belt emblematic of the title was presented to Jake in Baltimore about thirty years ago, and Kilrain successfully defended it against Jem Smith, the English champion. Fiji nally, in 1889, Sullivan challenged Kilrain to ght for the belt and $5,O0O a side, and they met at Richburg, Miss, Sullivan winning after a. hard battle lasting seventy-ve rounds.
 A description of this belt, published at the time of it's presentation to Kill rain, was as follows: ''It is fifty inch es long and eight inches wide, and

The affair between Cans and Sullivan was the main affair of the evening" and the other scraps were not down on the bills. Spike Sullivan was a dura- ble, hard-headed Irishman, and a lot of people, including John l.. Sullivan, thought he could lick Cans. John L.. hated negroes in general and Cans in particular, and he was in Spikes corner, telling him how to give the black master 8 facing.
 The advice didn't take, and SuIli- van was given such 6 drubbing by Cans that in the fourteenth round Charley White. the referee, stopped the fight to save Sullivan further pun ishment. At that Boston politi- clan named Donnelly hoped into the ring and struck the referee, while John L.. started in to lick Cans him. self.

BROWNE SECURES
 LICENSE TO HOLD BOUTS IN GARDEN

New York, Feb 9-Grant Hugh Browne received his license to con- duet boxing in Madison Square Gar den from the Boxing Commissioners yesterday. With that little matter off his mind, Browne set about looking
 up a real referee for the contest. Bill
 Brown was his choice, and on Mon day night when Weinert and Fulton walk to the centre the grizzled major domo of the Brown farm will tell them what's what in his usual grim way.
 Bob Adamson, New ,York's Fire ' Commissioner, has promised to- aid lBfowne in his determination to stamp : out smoking at all, boxing contests conducted in Madison Square Garden under his management.
 Browne stated yesterday that he swin ask for a detail of fire fighters Ito see to it that the stogie brigade lives up to his ruling. Browne seems ito have started something. Ip1nedi- Rtely on the publication of his resolve Ito prohibit smoking, the Boxing Com lH1issi took up the reins and an- tnounced that they would pass a rule twhich would stop smoking at all State contests.

GIBBONS TELLS WHY
 BOXING OUGHT TO
 STAY IN NEW YORK

New ork, Feb. Billy Gibson, the promoter, advances the following rea- sons why the sporting public should be made the jury to determine the life or death of boxing in New York state:
 That there has been a general inn provement in the sport in the past 20 years, and that the boxing game was never before in a healthier condition than it is now.
 That no sport supported by the public should be condemned unless by that public itself. as boxing has re- ceived the undivided support of the public and if the game is held in ill- repute by those who support it at the box office, they, quicker than any one else. could sound it's death knell by refraining' from attending the bouts.
 That of all the boxers from the pre- liminary boys to champions in their respective classes, about 75 per cent. are a sober, clean-living lot, abstain CTS from liquor and tobacco and are morally clean.
 That, compared with the status of the sport today as against 15 years ago, it is the same old story-the sins of a few are being visited on the many.
 That the game has been gradually elevated as is borne out in the fact that boxing for few years back has been part of the gymnastic curricu- lum of our big and little American n colleges.
 That the unfortunate conflict abroad has brought to the surface the fact thaX most all of the opponents of box ing there answered the call of their country and have distinguished themselves as well. r
 That in a similar circumstance in this country, the American boxers would be- among the first to respond for they have time and again proven that they are made of the proper r1etal of American citizenship.
 That supporters of boxing will aid the game in it's present plight and that Governor Whitman may see his way clear to give the sport another chance.

TO. DECIDE UPON
 AMATEUR RULING
 IN TENNIS TODAY

New York, Feb. 9-The annual meeting of the United States National Lawn Tennis association was held at the Waldorf-AstOria this afternoon.
 From the number and variety of matters to be brought up for discus sion and action by the delegates it is expected that the meeting will be ab- orbingly interesting. More impor- tant than anything else scheduled is the proposed action concerning the amateur rule.
 There is known to exist several which have openly signifed their in- tention to take violent issue with the expressed wishes of the executive committee on the amateur rule ques- tion. These units were aligning their forces yesterday in preparing for the battle ahead. Together with the executive committee they are op- timistically confident of the re- suit.
 The difference of opinion is practf- cally this:
 The executive committee desires to existing amateur rule which, sum-
 
 who capitalize their tennis fame.
 The Pacific Coast Association in addition to several other units of the national organization, will oppose this on the ground that any legislation which would debar players and sportsmen like Maurice D. McLaugh- lin and William M. Johnston, both of whom are engaged in the sporting goods business, would do the game more harm than good. Mclaughlin and Johnston are both former na- tional champions.
 In addition to these forces, there is another faction which proposes a compromise. Richard Norris Will Hams, 2d, the national champion, is the leader of this body, and his sug- gestion is that those players already engaged in the sale of tennis and oth- CT sporting goods shall not be affected by the proposed changes. Upon this condition Williams and his constitu- ents will support the executive com- mittee. l.

MONDAYS SHOW WILL TELL.

The fate of boxing in New York state may be determined by the man. ner in which the Fulton-W einert bout is conducted in Madison Square Gar den next Monday night. Boxing en- thusiasts could not have a better man than Grant Hugh Browne to represent their cause. The wealthy sportsman who has taken charge of the Garden promises many reforms, which if car ried out, will do much to elevate the sport.
 He declares members of the fire department will be on hand to en- force the new rule against smoking. This may be hard to do for New Workers have become accustomed to smoking at boxing matches. Noisy seconds will be silenced and no rough necks will be allowed to keep ticket holders from their seats. It is hoped that a show carried out along these lines will cause some of the opposl- ton against boxing in New York state to die out. The reforms men, toned above have been in force In this city for some time. In fact writers from New York papers say the shows are conducted much better here than in the big city.
 Rabbit Maranville, the Braves. shortstop, will be losing some of his popularity in Massachusetts. He was supposed to head his All-Star basket ball team against a team in Spencer, Mass, last night but failed to appear, much to the disgust of those who paid to get in.
 Last nights crowd at the Caslno boxing show was the largest of the season and probably the largest that ever saw a fistic carnival in that hall: The spectators behaved quietly ana the whole affair indicated how well

CORNELL TO ROW
 PRINCETON; TAKE
 HARVARD OFF LIST

Ithaca, N. Y., Feb. 9-For the first ; time since 1905 Cornell and Harvard will not meet in dual regatta next spring. This was made known yes- 1 terday/ in an announcement by Charles B. Treman, chairman of the Cornell Rowing Committee. Inability 1 to agree upon a date satisfactory to both is the cause. Cornell offered a l.three-mile race instead of the cus- tomary two-mile race.+ but Harvard ! refused to row at all on May 20, the date desired here.
 It also became known in local row ing circles that if war is declared and a volunteer army is called, all rowing activities at Cornell will be suspended, as many of the oarsmen will join the army.
 MT. Fireman made the following statement today:
 We sincerely regret to announce that there will be no Harvard Cor nell boat race in 1917. Harvard was invited, as usual, to row in Ithaca on our spring day, which is May 26
 this year .but the Harvard lowing authorities declined the invitation be- cauee. of the date. They offered to row on any earlier Saturday, but as spring day is university holiday the date could be changed.
 Cornell then offered to row three miles instad of two, if the longer dis tance would be more in conformity. at that date with the Harvard general plan of training, or to make any other change except date. However, after gcorrespondence, it seemed bet ter to drop the race for the present year. The Cornell Rowing Commit tee sincerely hopes that this annual race will be resumed in 1918.
 Princeton University has accepted an invitation to row Cornell at Ithaca on spring day. Negotiations are also under way for race with Yale on another date"

AMERICAN LEAGUE TO HOLD PLACES FOR MEN
 WHO WANT TO ENLIST

Chicago, Feb. 9-The American 1eaEue will hold positions for the 1 players who want to enlist in the army in case of war and President Johnson of the American League an- pounced last night:
 Mot only would we release these players" MT. Johnson added, "but we also would look to the welfare of their dependents. Contracts will not stand in the way of American League play CTS who wish to fight in the defense of their country. We, would encour- age the spirit to enlfst.''
 President Johnson said ~ that the league would not suspend in the event of war. He called attention to the fact that the National League during tho Spanish h-American conflict con- ltinued it's schedule.
 "I approve of the suggestion made by Capt. Huston of the New York club in regard to military training for ball players: Capt. Huston would have certain hours set aside during the training season for military drill. It would set, a good example for lptters in military preparedness"

(By Wagner.)

Knockout Eggers must have left his place on Avenue A, New York. He didn't have any torpedo to sink Young McAuliffe at the Casino last night and at the finish of 12 round bout the East Side boy was adjudged the winner on points. The affair was not as exciting as it might have been because of Eggers' tendency to hold in the later rounds.
 What made the spectacle thrilling from local standpoint was Me- Auliffe's rally after he had been giv- en a severe facing in the first two rounds. Judging by Eggers' tactics in these rounds and the manner in which he cut McAuliffe's face it look ed as if the local boy would take a trimming. It is characteristic of McAuliffe that he fights better when under pressure and he proved this last night.
 He went right after Eggers, begin ming with the third session, causing the New Yorker to give ground fre- quently. Eggers had habit of sticking out his face and, grinning at Mac as if daring him ito do his worst. As the fight progressed the grin was not so wide and about the 18th round you couldn't see it with out your tortoise shell cheaters.
 Eggers impressed the spectator as hard hitter but rather sluggish in his actions. He held McAuliffe too cheaply and when he saw he was fac- ing a tough opponent he concluded to play safe. That was the reason he did so much c1im bing McAuliffe
