downcast but in order not to disap- point the fans it was decided to get Kilbane. The champion demanded a guarantee of $1,O0O and $250 ex- penses. Wallace has met Kilbane twice before and has held his own on both occasions.
 The other bouts on the card look good. Tommy Shea of New Haven will tackle Johnny Best of this city in a 10-round affair. Johnny Hayes of New York will meet Billy Hughes of this city in another Hereunder and there will be four-round plelim- mary. Because of the prominence of Kilbane and Wallace it is expected the show will attract fans from sur- rounding cities.

GUS CHRISTIE GIVES
 BUCK GROUSE BEATING

New York, March 21-Buck Grouse of Pittsburg twice was knocked through the ropes and three other times was floored by Gus Christie of Milwaukee at the Broadway Sporting Club last night, but at the end of ten rounds Grouse was on his feet and willingly exchanging punches Displaying recuperative powers be- yond average men, Grouse absorbed every kind of punishment and thrived on it. Though whipped, Grouse put up an interesting tenth round battle that all but carried Christie before it.

BOBBY STOW IN
 GAME. WITH GIANT
 CLUB GETS HOMER

Marlin, Tex, March 21-Batting pyrotechnics by Davy Robertson, Ben ny Kauff and Walter Holke featured the victory of the Giants over the Fort Worth Texas Leaguers yesterday afternoon by to G.. However, not all the big hitting was done by the New Yorks, for the Partners got some healthy licks off the delivery of Jeff Tesreau, who succeeded Slim Sallee. McGraw used his real lineup, even to the hurlers.
 That first round proved hitting carnival, with Robertson and Holke contributing the major factors. Each of the stalwarts damned a drive over the ramparts skirting right field by a margin of thirty or forty feet. Rob- ertson loosened few shingles on the peaceable cottage of an esteemed citi- zen, while Holke topped off couple of stray branches on a live oak a few paces further along toward center field
 Sheriff Sallee was officiating for the Giants from the hurling mound at the time. The Higginsport law preserver had subdued the opposition in it's half of the first round and proceeded to curb the batting proclivities of the Partners through the remaining three rounds that he served.
 Tesreau followed the eminent Sher- if and probably it is just as we'll that "SaT'' expunged the opposition suc- cessfully while his mates were mac ing the offerings of a young man by the name of Applegate. Big Jeff fail- ed to de1ude the minors. Possibly it was because Jeff once operated in this league and the Fort Worth boys knew him.
 Tesreau moved along smoothly through his first session. But in his second round Bobby Stowe, the short stop for the opposition, poked a drive over the right field fence for the cir cult.

LEAGUE STANDING

Paterson continued it's winning streak in the IInterstate Basketball league and scored it's thirteenth con- secutive victory on Sunday afternoon by adding New York to it's already long list While this contest does not clinch the pennant for Paterson, it makes the task of capturing the title considerably easier for the Silk City representatives.
 The Newark Turner's stopped Jersey City's aspirations to land the honors in the second half by defeating them for the first time this season, and as a result the Rees men are now in pos session of second place.

Park Club Ranks

washington, March 21-The scores at the end of the seventh week of the National Rifle competition show the Peters Rifle and Revolver club of Kings Mills, Ohio, was leading the civilian class with an aggregate score of 6,95O. The ranking organizations were the Park club.

Miami, Fla, March 21-The manner cavorting about the infield and lin- ing them out in the spring training indicates that this will be the banner year for the star shortstop of Man ager Stallings' aggregation. Some of the stops and throws made by Maran- vile caused even the blase onlookers to applaud. It was only short time ago that Maranville affixed his sigma ture to a Boston contract, and it look

 The Pirates have refused to waive on First Baseman Adams, a Brook lyn recruit, and he will join the Pitts burg squad at Columbus, Ga. Brook lyn had arranged to farm Adams to Oakland, Cal, and he had made the trip to California before word was re- ceived that he had been claimed by the Pirates. Brooklyn and Oakland must divide that bill for railroad fare to the coast and back.
 Outfielders Duffy Lewis and Harry Hooper of the Red Sox are two of the last holdouts on the squad, went from California to Hot Springs, Ark, to talk business with Owner Frazee but he refuses to receive them unless they first send their signed contracts to his hotel
 Benny Kauff had an enjoyable af- ternoon with the bat at Fort Worth, Tex, yesterday when he made two singles and a homer. Benny raves over a homer but doesn't think much of singles. "A single is a sucker hit" says the former Bridgeport outfielder. Although he. made a poor start at Marlin, Brad Kocher is doing better with the Giants now and the New York Sun says he has a good chance to remain as third catcher. Kreuger, from the Western league, who once had a trial with the Yankees, is Koch l CTS rival for the job.
 Harry Moves, who played with Hart ford a few years ago, will be captain of the Marlin Arms team in New Ha- ven this season. Mike Doherty, the old Eastern umpire, is working in the factory and will try for first base.

Presbyterians Win
 From East Side BoyA

The Presbyterian Pioneers beat the East Side Pioneers in a basketball game at Presbyterian hall last night by 19 to 12. The work of Melow- borne of the East Siders and Walsh and Steele of the Presbyterians fea- tured. On Saturday afternoon the Presbyterians will tackle the Troop One team of Stratford.

 The Braves expect to get into mid season form in their transforming trip with the Yankees. They will play exhibition games in many of the small towns, and every man on the team will be asked to do his bit. Stallings is confident that the team that beats the Braves will win the champion ship.

TROY FIVE COMING

The Troy N. Y. basketball team. one of the best aggregations in the east, will visit this city next week to tackle the Blue Ribbons. Accord ing to an announcement made last night the Trojans will play two games here, the first on Tuesday and the second Thursday. Troy has been strengthened by the acquisition of Chief Muller and Dick Leary of the Uniontown, Pa., five which recently gave the Ribbons lacing. Inglis, considered one of the best forwards in the game, will also be with, Troy. The Ribbons will probably be strengthened for these contests.
 McCANN GETS PLAYERS
 Gene McCann, the New London manager, has been visiting the camp of the Phillies in St. Petersburg, Fla. He has been assured he can have Catcher Fish again and two Cubans, as previously announced. The player he wants is Outfielder Candy, a youngster who is said to be a won der.
 George Pennington, the chubby twirler with Lawrence, Mass, last season, is going at a fine clip for the St. Louis Browns. In recent game against Denison of the Western as- sociation he twirled four innings with out allowing a hit, struck out four and gave only one pass. Chris Leonard, the Norwalk center, was so disgusted with himself when he missed a double foul toss in the second half of last nights basketball game at Colonial hall, that he threw a difficult goal immediately after. One of the local girl rooters was so elated over the Blue Ribbon victory
