DILLON DEPARTS
FROM NEW YORK:
GARDEN BOUT OFF

New York, March Grant Hugh
Browne, athletic director Of Madison
Square Garden, yesterday encountered
another obstacle in his new venture
as boxing promoter, and at a late
hour last night was compelled to an
nounce that there would be no boxing
in Madison Square Garden this even
ing. He had received word from San
Marburger, MANAGE Of Jack Dillon,
the Indianapolis light-heavyweight,
that the latter, as a result of some
kind of dispute had boarded train
for his home in Indianapolis. This
action on the part of the Hoosier
boxer automatically Cancelled his
scheduled bout with Jim Flynn, the
Pueblo heavyweight.
Since Browne did not have enough
time to arrange another substitute
card for the Garden, he decided to
keep the arena in entire darkness to-
night A ten-round bout between Ted
(Kid) Lewis, the English welter-
weight and Albert Badoud, the Fran
co-Swiss boxer, had also been arrang-
ed for tonight, as semi final to the
Dillon-Flynn engagement, but this
also was abandoned
In explaining his attitude in regard
to the action Of Governor Whitman
in prohibiting Les Darcy, the Austral-
IAN boxer, from appearing in a bout
in this State, Browne announced that
he intended to make a determined eff
fort some day this week to see the
Governor and try to convince him that
his action was a gross injustice to
Darcy.
IT feel sure that if I get a few
minutes with Governor Whitman I
can convince him that Darcy's leav-
ing Australia was perfectly legal, and
i, was accomplished under circur1-
stances that in no way would justify
the charge that he is Stacker"
said Browne last night, IT expect to
be able to announce within a short
time," continued Browne, "the receipt
of a letter from the military Governor
of Australia, stating the exact facts
concerning Darcy's departure from
his native land.
with this letter feel confident I
can convince anybody that there was
never any intention of compelling
Darcy to enlist for army service in
Australia, and to prove also the fur
Their fact that Darcy, before his depar-
ture, toured Australia, giving boxing
| exhibitions which netted something
more than $500, 900 for relief work.
Darcy is at present making his
home at Brownies Browneleigh Park
estate at Goshen. N. Y, where the
Australian put in several weeks of
training for his Cancelled boxing ex-
hib1tion with Jack Dillon.

YALE AND HARVARD TO
PLAY THIRD HOCKEY GAME

New Haven, March 5.-As a result
1rday night at hockey, another game
will be necessary to decide the series
between the rival teams. Yale won
the first game here by comfortable
margin while the Crimson turned the
tables to the tune of to at Boston.
No date has been set for the third
game.
Ylale's hockey had undergone a COM
plete change in all lines of attack and
defence during the past three weeks,
and the easy manner in which the Ellis
disposed of Harvard and the freshman
team, the strongest Yale ever had, led
the entire university to believe that

Cleveland, March 5-Joe Wood, the
smoke ball hero of at least two worlds
series, is on. the job again. That may
not mean much to the casual observer
of sporting affairs, but to players and
others on the inside it means defi-
mite triumph for an athlete who has
stood on the grounds of honor and
lost more than years salary thereby.
All of last season Joe Wood laid off
and did not draw one cent of pay. He
was on the reserve list of the Boston
club and would not agree to terms.
Neither would he agree to be traded
until he definitely assured that his
arm would be in shape to carry him
through. But, biggest of all, he turn

Charles. Monroe Tesreau, the big
finger of the Giants, is a product Of
the Ozark mountain region Of Mis-
souri,, where he was born at Ironton
% years ago today. The "Ozark Bear"
spent his youth working in the lead
mines at Perryville, Mo-, and pitched
for a miners ball club. In 1909 Jeff
was offered job with the Texas
League, and in two seasons he played
with four clubs in that circuit-Gal-
weston, San Antonio, Houston and
Shreveport. In the latter part of the
1910 season Shreveport sold him to
McGraw, but in 1911 he was sent to
Toronto for further seasoning, re-

years.
just when Yale was counting most
on this championship Princeton upset
the dope" in true Tiger style, and
now all the honor Yale can hope to
have will be a victory over Harvard
for the second time this year.
The talk of making hockey at Yale
major sport has met with more IA
vor this year than ever before, prin-
cfpally on account of the recent good
showing of the Yale team, but it is
not believed that the ''Y" ever will be
given, however, in this branch of ath-
letic acticity.

of that sort that he threatened to make
Joe a free agent unless something was
done for him this season.
In the meantime Wood set about to
get his arm in shape. After trying
everything he consulted a specialist on
muscles. Examination disclosed that
the smaller pitching muscles and the
nerves leading to the right ram had
become punched along the spine, due
primarily to a cold. This condition
was eventually removed by massage.
The return Of Joe Wood to the
game means that Cleveland has a
chance for the pennanr. After sign
ing contract the smoke ball hero
left for Cleveland. Joe, you know,
lives in New York in the winter time.
1t was iris Speaker who insisted on
the signing Of Wood, and he believes
. that Joe will have the goods. He be-
Ieves it because Joe says so.
