C0LLEGlANS MEET TO DECIDE SPORT
 OUTLOOK FOR YEAR

New York, April 6-To discuss the outlook for intercollegiate sport dur ing the remainder of the college terms graduate athletic managers Of the Eastern universities held con- ference this morning at the Martini que Hotel. The meeting was to have been held yesterday, but the inabil- ity of many of the officials to reach the city in time caused a postpone ment. Although moss of the college athletic associations already have declared their intention of abandoning an schedules with the declaration of war, the opinion is gaining strength that such action is not necessary and that the colleges should reconsider their hasty decision.
 Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Cornell, Columbia, Pennsylvania and Syracuse are to be represented by graduate athletic managers. A complete can vass of the situation is on the pro- gram. It is anticipated that the dele- gates will vote in favor of retaining a tentative schedule of intervarsity sports from week to week, with the idea of continuing competition, unless the governments military authorities consider an abandonment of sport would be advisable.

YANKEES START
 SERIES WITH THE
 BROOKLYNS TODAY

New York, April 6-New York is to have it's first major league baseball game this afternoon if the weathe permits. the Brooh1yns and the Yan- kees being scheduled for the first of three exhibition games at Ebbets Field.
 Both Bill Donovan and Wilbert Robinson have whipped their teams into fine shape, and some real mid summer baseball is looked for.
 >In the South, where the Yankees have been playing a series with the Boston Braves, Donovan's men have had no little trouble against left handed pitchers, so Brooklyn will profit by this tip and make use of Rube Marquard and Sherry Smith, while the Tanks are so anxious to hold up their end that Shawkey and Cald- well are pointed for actiom
 Brooklyn fans are anxious to get a glimpse of the Dodgers new short stop, Tavern aF'brique. The princi- pal change in the Yankee lineup will be Fritz Maise1 at second base in place of Gedeon. Last year the Yankees and Brooklyn played two games, each club winning one. The teams are scheduled to play today, tomorrow and Monday at Ebbets Field.

|APPLEBY BREAKS
 BILLIARD RECORD

New York, April 6-Playing in true Class A form. Edgar T.SAppleby last night established a record average of F19 3-13 for the Poggenburg Memorial Billiard Cup competition, now in the ] final round robin at Maurice Daly's l rooms. In completing his 260 points in 13 innings and defeating c. R..
 Lewis. who made only 49 of a fequir-
 ed no. Apleby showed cue maripu-
 1ation of a high class, making clusters l of 56, 53. 40 and B and playing with perfect timing and touch along the chalk lines.
 l In his run of 53, which was put to- gether in the fourth inning t2e worked ! away with freedom until confronted by lineup. It was another such ob- stacle that caused him to break down
 after running 56 caroms in the 18th inning. By this time, however, he ! had the game we'll in hand, and in the next inning he ran out with an unfinished cluster of 33.
 ;, Appleby declared at the finish of the i game that his form came as a great
 surprise to himsef He had spent
 most of the afternoon playing tss.sa!.y ! and after this sort of. exercise hA was prepared for a disjointed game of
 billiards.

RED SOX JOURNEY
 WITH BROOKLYN
 REALIZED $I6,000

Indianapolis, Ind, April 6-The last game between the Boston Red Sox, worlds champions, and the Brooklyn Dodgers, National League champions, scheduled for Washington Park here yesterday afternoon was cancelled be- cause of rain.
 When the tourists awOke and found the city in the grip of torrentia1 rains arrangements were immediately made for an early departure and the Dodg- are to play exhibition games before 11:4O. The Red Sox left for Ohio, where in Toledo and Columbus they are to play exhibition games before returning East to open the season with the Yankees on the Polo Grounds next Wednesday.
 Presidents Charley Ebbets, of the Dodgers, and Harry Frazee. of the Red Sox, expressed satisfaction with the result of their spring trip. Of the II games scheduled nine were played, rain being encountered only in Kan sas City and Indianapolis. The Red Sox won five games and the Dodgers four.
 Attendance figures for the entire trip were placed in the neighborhood of 3O,O00. It was perhaps the most successful, joint tour ever undertaken by big league clubs. The financial reward was something like $16,000, which was equally divided between the two organizations.
 Harry Hooper, star rightf1elder of the Red Sox, joined his teammates early esterday. His 1ong-delayed presence in camp was caused by ill., ness of his wife in California.

(By Wagner.)

After showing Battling Reddy his entire line of samples, Young Mo- Auliffe wondered at the finish of their bout at the Casino last night if Reddy is human after all. McAultffe be- labored Reddy with plain and fancy punches from the first round until the tenth but for all the good 1t did he might as we'll have been punching the bag. Reddy was fresh at the finish and hadn't lost any of his fea- lures.
 The bout was a lively one which kept the spectators enthused. AL though McAuliffe forced the battle in the majority of the rounds Reddy must be given credit for his good de- fensive tactics. He had the skill to move his head or twist his body just enough to avoid the full force of Nc Auliffe's blows.
 Reddy was not afraid to launch wallop at McAuliffe, either. In the last few rounds he frequently put over a, few that had steam in them. Mc- Auliffe piled up big lead Tn the early sessions, however, and was en-

YALE CREW AND PENN TO MEET IN
 PHILA. TOMORROW

New Haven, April 6-When Yale and Pennsylvania crews face the starter on Saturday on the Schuylkill course, the first and last race of the rowing season may, be getting under way. Harvard, Yale, Cornell, Prince ton and Columbia have announced their intention of canceling the row ing contests. The Navy will surely not have a crew, and there is little doubt that all the other college crews, except those on the coast, will follow suit.
 The Yale-Pennsylvania race, how ever, is certain to be rowed. Coach Guy Nickalls, provoked by the show ing of the first crew, has threatened to send what was his second crew to the post against the Quaers, as the second crew has been defeating the varsity boat with consistency.
 Pennsylvania will have a boat1oad of giants, as the smallest man is more than six feet tall and the largest is considerably over 6 feet 5 inches. Rowing experts who have seen Penn in practice say there is a great deal of power in the boat, but that the men do not, as yet, know how to use their strength.

RED SMITH MOST
 DISTINGUISHED OF
 FAMILY IN SPORT

Perhaps the most distinguished of the Smith boys-offspring of Old Man Smith-now cavorting on the diamond is J. Carlisle Smith, sometimes known as Red The third baseman of the Braves was born in Atlanta 27 years ago today, and played with An derson, $. C., and Nashville before he became a big leaguer with Brook lyn in 1911. Red has been with the Braves since August, 1914.
 The Smiths were very prevalent in the National League last year, and this looks like another good year for the family. Six of the eight clubs of the old circuit had Smiths on the payroll at some time last season. Aside from J. Carlisle, however, Sherrod Smith, the Brooklyn twirler, was about the only one of the Smith boys to show very much.
 The Smith boys have been promin-

 Morris went into the ring deter mined to keep as close to Fulton as possible. It was one way of escaping F'ulton's damaging left hook At close range Fulton was woefully weak He has been so schooled in the art of long-distance hitting that he was talk en completely by surprise once Mor- ris began to carry the fight right up to his chest.
 Instead of stepping around, em- ploy1ng some of his boasted footwork. Fulton foolishly tried to meet Morris at his own game. He wasn't equal to the task. Fulton's fistic fall came as distinct shock to those who had predicted that he would surely beat Jess Willard.
 Mike Collins, who once managed Fulton, admitted after the fight that he would never have matched FA1l- ton with Morris, as he was convinced that Fulton could not stop the cour- ageous Oklahoma giant It l., even conceded now that Frank Moran would surely have knocked out Full ton had they met.

titled to the decision. Although the East Bridgeport boy had his old time aggressiveness his timing of blows was not so accurate as in some of his recent bouts. He gave the fans a good run for their money, however.
 The semi-final between Willie Schaefer of New York and Billy Richards of this city was rather dis appointing. Both boys looked big enough to start something but they never did. Most of the time was spent in clinching or making harmless taps. A draw would be a fair ver- dict.
 Tn the preliminary Bud Palmer and Charley Pitts, both of this city, stag ed an exciting mixup. Palmer rushed matters at the start but Pitts improv- ed as the bout went on. At the con- clusion of the tenth round 1t was the general opinion that he had outpoint- ed Palmer.
 The show was we'll conducted under the auspices of the Irish-American A. c. There was a large crowd on hand and the club officials probably made enough to buy coffee and cakes for 8 while.

This committee would number about 30 and would act as Board of Censors NThs governor promised to consider the suggestion. The bill repeating the Boxing Law came up in the Assem- bly, yesterday for final passage, but it was agreed to defer action until next week.

FRED FULTON ELIMINATED AS
 CONTENDER FOR RING TITLE
Poor Showing Against Morris Puts Minnesota Boy In
 False Alarm Glass

New York, April 6-Poor Fred F'ul- ton. He didn't get very far up the ladder of pugilistic fame after all. His exhibition of ringmanship at the Man haitian A. c. on Wednesday night brands him as utterly lacking in championship timber. His brilliant performances against Reich, Cowler and Weinert must now be considered mere flashes in the pan.
 There were those who predicted that Morris would make the big plas- terer quit, and quit he did, for his deliberate fouling of the Sapulpa giant was tantamount to waving the white flag high above his blond head.
 He used his unsportsmanlike blow to save himself from the ignominy of R knockout at the hands of the big locomotive driver. He was ready to drop from sheer fright and exhaustion when he employed the tactics that stopped Morris's headlong rush 10 victory.
 There has always been suspicion that Fulton lacked gumption. It ney- CT was so evident as the night he sat down in the middle of the ring ct New Orleans and started to cry in his fight with little Porky Flynn. The men who chronicled that affair said that no such astonishing spectacle was even seen in ring.
 Flynn, not a hard hitter by any means, had peppered Fulton's ribs soundly, and to get away from the blows Fulton actually squatted in the centre or the ring and began to cry

WILLARD MAY BE DETAILED TO HELP
 SECURE RECRUITS

Chicago, April 6-Jess Willard's telegram to President Wilson, in which the champion pugilist offered to fight for his country created quite a sensation here.
 Immediately after Willard's patri- otic offer became known in Chicago, Capt. F. R. Kenney, the recruiting commander here, dictated a letter to big Jess, offering to aid him in ob- taining a lieutenancy in the Officers Reserve Corps of the United States army.
 Willard is on his way to Norfolk, Va, from Chicago, but it is expected that he will ba informed of Capt. Kenney's offer by wire.
 It is planned to detail Willard as a recruiting officer while a regiment of Chicago athletes is being formed. Later the champion may be assigned, to a regiment for some real fightinr

Harb Mccoy, Scrapper
 From Australia, Took
 Name from Kid Met Gov

Herb Mccoy, the Australian light weight, was born in Melbourne 25 years ago today. Herb is also known as Kid Mccoy, but his real inoniker is Herbert Wilson. When he became professional scrapper back in 1910 lie assumed the name of the once fa- nous American welterweight and middleweight boxer, Kid Mccoy.
 The Australian has been knocked out by two American boxers, Joe Shugrue and Milburn Saylor, and the Frenchman, Jean Poesy, also put him to sleep a few years ago. The original Kid Mccoy. whose real name is Nor man Selby, took his ring name from that of a. villain in nelodranla, and since then the woods have been full of fighting McCoys. There are several of them in Australia besides, Herb, and quite a few in America, the cele- brated being Al Mccoy, the middle weight title claimant, whose real name is Al Rudolph. fENk
