REFEREE FINDS
 BOXERS TAKING

Meriden, April 24.-Referee Dave Fitzgerald took drastic action last night in the main bout of the Lenox A. c. program when he stopped the battle between Barney Adair, the York lightweight, and Walter Bart lett, the Hub boxer, because he de- clared that they were faking, and making little or no attempt for a de- cisive victory.
 The Adair-Bartlett bout was sched- uled to go F rounds, and opened up in fair shape for the first two rounds. After that, Adair had no trouble in reaching the Boston lightweight when and how he pleased. In the clinches, he ripped home kidney punches in rapid succession, mixing up short chops to the stomach and an occa- siona1 swift uppercut at close range. In the leading, Adair 1anded with his 1 left frequently. All that might be said of Bartlett was that he is a good receiver, for he. hardly reached Adair with one good blow throughout the fight.

PENN. RELAY RACES
 START ON FRIDAY

New York, April 24,-Eastern fol- levers of. track and field athletics are awaiting the University of Penn sylvania relay games to be held April 26 and 27, with more than the usual interest this season. The PennSyl- vania carnival is the annual weather vane by which the prospects for the sport is judged and owing to war time conditions the attendance, en- tries and performances will be sub jected to closer scrutiny than is or dinarily the case. This is particularly true of the three national college re- lay championship races which are the premier contests of the two-day race meet.
 The drawings for these events show that to-date twenty college teams have been listed from the East and five from the Middle West. This is fully up to the standard of past and more tranquil seasons and if al the teams line up at the starting mark the contests should provide thrills ir keeping with the previous records 1T these events. AS to the time that vii be made only the actual performance! will answer this question, although i appears reasonable to assume tha:
 passed as conditions at the various
 colleges have not been conducive tc l intensive training this spring.

LOU TENOLER ON NEW HAVEN CARD
Temple A. c. Secures Star Philly lightweight for
 Jackson Battle

New Haven, April 24-The f1stic world has been introduced to sensa- tions such as Bill Brennan, Mike O'Dowd, Jack Dempsey, ct als., but in recent years no boxer has come in for more publicity and honorable mention that young Lew Tender, the Philadelphia southpaw lightweight.
 The Temple A. c. of this city, the club that decided to make it's initial show the best ever produced in New England, has strengthened its original carl1 1G0 per cent. by signing Tender to meet Willie Jackson of New York in the 15-round bout to a decision that features the program. When it was learned that Irish Patsy Cline could not show here next Monday night at the Temple A. c. show, Matchmaker Joe Mulvihill dug his cleats into the ground and secured the boy who beat Cline and the greatest and most sen sational lightweight in the world to- day, outside, perhaps, of World S Champion Benny Leonard. And yet there are many of the leading experts of boxing who believe Tender can beat Leonard and is the next world S champion.
 i New Haven boxing fans have long been crying for a chance to see Lew Tender in action. Several local clubs made strenuous attempts to book this star boxer, but Matchmaker Mulvi- hill came home from Boston Monday night with the signed articles of the great little battler and also the con sent of Manager Bagley for Jackson to box Tender instead of Cline over i the 15-round route.
 It goes without saying that this is the greatest boxing match arranged in the east in some time. Little per haps dH7, the fans think that Manager Glassman could be induced to allow Tender to go 15 rounds to decision and especially against such boy as Jackson, the fellow who knocked out Johnny Dundee, Chick Simler, and beat up scores of tough and classy llightweights. It's a big surprise tt New Haven fans as we'll as fans through the east and in New York who will flock to New Haven nex1 Monday night to watch this great bout.
 Tend1er and Jackson are down tc box at not over 135 pounds at three o'clock in the afternoon, and the toy: will weigh-in at Fitzgerald & Ma ,lone's gymnasium in George street
 Tendler is expected here today ant will work out to give the local fans { chance to look him over. He is con ceded to be the greatest and classics southpaw that ever drew on a glove and is the most logical contender fol the lightweight championship of tht world.
