YALE EXPECTS To
HAVE SPORTS
THIS SPRING

New Haven, March ii The Yale
Arcl"lic council announced yesterday
that The "Y" would be given to play
ers who take part in games against
Harvard and Princeton. Last week
the council voted to award the "Y''
to track athletes who win points in
the intercollegiate 1t IS probable
that the letter Will be also given to
point winners in the proposed Yale
HarvaTd-Princeton track meet, and
to oarsmen who row in the race
against Harvard.
Hals will not fellow Harvard's ex-
ample and curtaIl any of her minor
tears this spring. Soccer football
t:nn's, and lacrosse teams have al
ready been organized, and a profess
siona1 coach has been engaged for
The tennis team. Yale's enrolment
has fallen below 1900 students, as
against S,4OO when this country en-
tered the war. The graduating classes
in both academic and scientific de-
partments this year will have only
about one-fifth the usual number of
students.
In spite of the decreased attend
ance, Yale will make strenuous cf-
forts to organize every minor spring
spa. team, except possibly in golf.

CAPT. FLEET CHER
NEARLY LOST
RIGHT finn

Sedalia, Mo, March 14-The Giant
roundup came to a martial baseball
head yesterday when Capt. Arthur
Fletcher circled around rockies and
regulars in the Union station at st.
Louis prior to scampering aboard the
train that will carry half the Giant
muster into Marlin at o'clock to-
night.
FLETCHER was in happy mood over
the prospects of getting into action.
Indeed he is a lucky man that he
will be able to lead the first cheers
at Marlin Friday morning.
Several days ago while tinkering
around the radiator of his light run
ming domestic automobile, Fletcher
attempted to calculate the speed of
the whirring fan in the radiator and
narrowly escaped losing two fingers
of his all-important right hand. The
fingers were painfully cut and bruis-
ed, but not in way to interfere with
his playing or throwing.
Of the new recruits there is con-
siderable interest being taken in the
f1inging debut of Michael Koran of
Cohoes, N. Y.

orS, military men, clergy:nen and col
lnSe I - fessors, read communications
received by him from them, all ex-
pressing the sentiment that boxing
was good, morally and physically, and
that it was needed.
One letter which he submitted to
Chairman Pratt of the Judiciary Com
mittee to read, but which was not for
publication, was from General Per-
shing, commander of the American
forces in France. 1t was written at
the front. OF 500 replies, only two
were against boxing. Governor Whit
man had admitted to him, he said,
that boxing was a great thing.
1.-THE Governor told me that he
would regard himself as criminally
negligent if he did not see that his
boy was instructed in boxing" said
Mr.. Rafter.
Mr.. Rafter pointed out what the
professional boxers are doing for the
war in their instruction work at the
various army environments. He con-
tended that if the sport was good
enough for the Federal Government
| it should be good enough for the State
of New York.
One of the typical paragraphs he
read from the mass of communica-
tons came from Supreme Court JUS
tice Hasbrouck of Kingston. I'm in
favor of having every fellow cultivat-
| oil +o +ba fins of his fingers so he can
lick his weight in wildcats" he wrote.
That's the proper sentiment" de-
clared Chairman Pratt.
Robert Bdgren of New York, a
member of the Commission on Training
Camp Activities, said it was entirely
illogical to have conflicting laws, one
sanctioning boxing in military camps
and the other prohibiting the game
outside.
James P. Holland, president of the
State Federation of Labor, but not
speaking as its representative, con-
tended that a widespread knowledge
of boxing would largely do away with
the gunner and that ''the more box
ing you have the less use there viii
he for doctors"
Still another labor representative
Peter Brady of New York, said thai
a man who knew boxing made a bet
ter trade unionist. Ex-Assemblymar
John R. Powers of Rochester, Billy
Gibson, manager of Benny Leonard
worlds lightweight champion, ant
Charles J. Harvey, secretary of the
old boxing commission, also spoke il
favor of the McCue bill.

Alexander checked his baggage

ion he had reached.
The former Philadelphia star is I'M
derstood to have told friends, how
ever, that he would not sign unless
given the $4,000 he is demanding.

FORMER PUGILIST
LEGISLATOR MAY
GET BACK BOXING
Assemblyman McCue Expects to Put Boxing Cams Back
In New York-Legslature Will Make
decision Tomorrow.

Albany, N. Y, March 14.-Boxing,
game under adversely, staged what is
believed to be a Successful come
back" in a long drawn out battle with
its recent conqueror-the Legislature
here yesterday. Having received a
knockout blow last year, the sport got
another chance before the Assembly
Judiciary Committee at a hearing on
the bill reviving it, introduced by AS
semblyman Martin G. McCue of New
York, an old-time pugilist. The result
is expected to be a decision today for
renewal of boxing. A poll of the COM
mittee last night indicated favorable
action.
. Spectators, sporting men, promot-
ers, sporting writers, labor represent
atives, and men speaking for Uncle
Sans fighters in the training camps
presented weighty arguments as anti
dotes to the "sleep pill'' handed to the
game by the 1917 Legislature.
There was no opposition expressed
to the McCue measure at the hearing.
The committee was appealed to report
the bill for patriotic reasons. Mem
bers were told that boxing is needed
to fit physically the men who have
shouldered the nations arms and to
condition them for the campaign over
the sea- Proper regulation of the
game speakers declared, is all that
is needed to place it on the same high
plane with the other forms of ath-
letics which Americans enjoy.
The whole trouble with the Frawley
law, which legalized boxing, the com
mittee was told, was maladministra
ton by the men appointed to regulate
the sport.
THE trouble lay with the commits
sioners appointed to supervise the op

FRED FULTON is
MATCHED WITH
De MPSEY

st. Louis, March 14-Fred Fulton
was matched yesterday afternoon to
meet Jack Dempsey in an eight
round, no-decision bout on May 80.
Jack Bulger, representing New
Jersey promoters, made the match.
The contest will take place at
Newark, N. j., if the weather is IA
vorable for an open-air- battle, but if
an indoor meeting is necessary it will
be held in Atlantic City.
In case Fulton is matched to box
Jess Willard on July 4, the bout with
Dempsey will be called off.
Fulton and his manager, Mike Col
Inns, prepared to start for Kansas City

the champions signature to an agree
ment to fight on July 4.

Sporting
Chatter
Observation-Disclosures

Although Johnny Dundee was given
the decision over Harry Carlson the
other night in IL round go at Bos-
ton, the Hub City writers think a
draw would have been the popular
verdict. Carlson entered the ring with
O. plaster on a cut over his left eye,
but he stood up gamely and gave
Johnny all he could handle. He land
ed frequently but his punches seemed
to be lacking power. Dundee with
his jumping tactics landed some hard
blows with his right to Carlson's back
and head but Harry came back with
some strong hooks to the jaw.
Fred Fulton's championship bubble
came near breaking the other night
when Tom Cowler put him down in
the first round for a count of nine
with a right to the jaw. 1t shows
that Fred's jaw isn't made of iron as
it was supposed in his bout with
Frank Moran when he let Frank put
his Mary Ann to his chin for - sue
cessive wallops. Fulton was groggy
in the following round from the eff
fects of the punch and for the next
three rounds Cowler had the best of
the milling until he received a right
uppercut flush on the jaw and took
the count of 10.
