Boxers Perform
AT Sandy Hook
Walker Springs Surprise by
Defeating Tomasulo-
Gilday a Winner

The soldiers in training at Fort Han
COCK, near Sandy Hook, watched the
amateur boxers of the Metropolitan As
soclatlon perform in a special tourna-
ment TOR their benefit in the fort gym
naslum last night. The majority of
the bouts went the regulation three
rounds, giving the several thousand sol =
dlers who packed the building much to
enthuse over. Several. contests ended
IN technical knockouts, when the ref
cree called halt.
Most exciting of the bouts was that
between Archie Walke~, Irish -Amcri-
can Athletic Club, the Metropolitan As
soclation Of New York State champion.
VINO defeated James Tomasulo, of the

cation, IN special bout at 11S pounds
Inc defeat was a surprise to Tomas sulo
who was one of the local team of ten
boxers that captured national title in
Boston last December.
Keeps Opponent at Bay
Walker kept his rushing rival at bay
by the good use of left hand lab,
while he also scored often with rights
and lefts. Tomasulo, however, kept
rushing his opponent continually, his
blows carrying more power when they
landed. The third round found both
boys mixing it hard, with Walker the
popular victor~at the end
-Four rounds were necessary before

Ban Johnson
AndHenchmen
Here To-day

Ban johnson and his henchmen oi
the American League, at the annua
schedule meeting, to be held to-day
at the Hotel Wolcott, will be con.
fronted with lot of serious fence
building if this junior major organi
zation is to maintain its customary
prestige and balance.
When the season closed before the
last world series it was apparent tc
the most Indifferent observer that
the junior major organization had be-
come topheavy. Two teams-the world
champion White Sox and the Boston
Red Sox-boasted most of the class
of the whole merry-go-round. Detroit
had kick, but no guard because of
lack of pitching talent.
Boston and Chicago will start the
1918 season practically as strong as
they finished last year. Detroit, Cleve-
land, St. Louis and Philadelphia have
all been hard hit through enlistment
and draft.
Boston was quite as hard hit as the
others, but Frazee got on the job and
corralled bunch of fine talent. To
do it he dismembered the Athletics.
Now cry is goino up from all quar-.
ters to rid the league of this verita-
Bile White Elephant. Connie Mack's
tailenders, unless succor is furnished,
must become a menace to the whole
combination.
While they are about it, the Ameri-
can League magnates will offend no.
body in these parts if some of their
generosity is turned New York's way.
For years obstacles have been placed
in the path of the Yankees. Miller
Huggins is not calling for mercy. He
is grimly saving wood, and has
framed in his minds eye a number of
trades and purchases that would great
ly benefit the local American League
cause
Higgins makes no bones over the
fact that he is cunning for a couple
of seasoned outfielders. One of these,
it is believed, is Ullie Walker, of the
Red Sox. Mack was to have gotten
Walker in a combination of players
in exchange for Bush, Schang, Strunk
and McInnis, but that original deal is
off. Two of the Red Sox players con-
cerned have enlisted since the big
trade was made. Connie insists on
having the field for his selections in
creased accordingly.

April 26 Is Military Day

Friday, April 26, will be Military
Day at the twenty fourth annual relay
carnival, given by the University Of
Pennsylvania on Franklin Field. At
the request of several of the military
and naval camps the relay management
has decided to put on several events
of a military character and, in fact. to
make this feature of the first day of
Pennsylvania great athletic fixture.
The military authorities are being
consulted, but it is practically decided
that on April 26, in addition to the reg

the final match tomorrow afternoon

Both Piel and Harmed played spec
tacular squash from scratch. Piel util-
lied a change of pace and frequent
smashing to good advantage, while his
varied game puzzled Harmed. The lat

returns to the back wall corners and
sharp smashes off the front wall Piel
scored on placement shots often and
displayed an uncanny ability to work
his rival out of position.

the opening game, smashing hard and

angle. Piel soon recovered himself and
