 In spite of the heavy drain which the war has put on Canada efforts ara being made to revive the Canadian League, which was disbanded in 1915.
 One of the most memorable dates in baseball was April 22, 1898, when two no-hit games were pitched in the National League. Jay Hughes of Baltimore, then in the National League circuit, blanl0ed the Bostons, while Theodore Breitenstein, the once great twirler, turned the same trick on the Pirates on that great day 20 years ago today 'The" at that time wore a Cincinnati uniform. That was the secontd time in their history that the Buccaneers had been trounced without getting a safe smash: at the ball.
 There have been 61 no-hit games played in the major leagues, a little over half in the National League, while the others are divided between the American Association---not the present organization of that name, but the old major A A----the old Players League, and the American League. J. Lee Richmond was, so far as the records show, the first major league tWirler to turn the no-hit trick. That was in 1880, when Richmond was on the pitching staff of the Wor- cester club, then in the National League Twenty-seven Cleveland men | facesd Richmond in that game and were boZvled over, worcester winning the game 1 to O. Richmond gained the no-hit priority. however, only by & mater of a few days, for less than 2 week later John M. Ward, fired vita envy at the great feat of Richmond, did the same thing for Providence, with Buffalo in the role of victim.
 Old Cy Young was the first pitcher in the American League to win mo- | hit game in nine innings. That was in 1904, when Denton, in Boston uniform. shut out the Philadelphia Athletics. Addie Joss, the famous Cleveland twirler who died in 1913, was. the hero of another great con- test in October, 1908, when. within nine innings, he prevented a single man in the Chicago White SOz from Ireaching. 4tnitial bag.

Boxing fans all over the state are turning their attention to New Ha- ven:. For some time the Elm City has been looked upon with much fa- vor by outside promoters and fans and especially since boxing was laid at rest in New York. But the reason for New Haven claiming the undivid-
 ed attention of the boxing fraternity at the present time is owing to the fact that Willie Jackson and Irish Patsy Cline, two of the best light weight boxers in the world today, are matched for a 15-round bout to a de cision there a week from tonight. This announcement is enough to claim the attention of the boxing world and those who can make the trip to New Haven on the 18th will probably do so. | New York is much excited over the big bout which is to take place under the direction of the Temple Amuse- ment company, a newly organized club of New Haven business men. The men interested in the company being well known and financially solid, promises that the big attrac- tion will be properly handled and run off like any such big event should be.

Howard Baker-no dear fans, not our own Howie Baker but fellow with the same monicker-haS been signed to pastime in Paul Krichelis outer garden this season. The suang- CT comes here from the Little Rock club of the Southern league, where he has been playing for the past five years. His home is in Northamp- ton, Mass.
 Last season he took part in 14S games, made TIT runs, 155 hits and stole 31 bases for an average of .279. His fielding average was 957. with 231 putouts, SS assists and twelve er- rors Outside of this he played good baseball.
 Manager Krichen said yesterday the fans will like Baker when they get their glimmers on him. He was tired of playing in the Southland and decided to make a change which would bring him nearer to the folks in Northampton. Krichell secured him through Kid Elberfield. manager of Little Rock after spending $19.04 for telegrams.
 Secretary Jimmy Kelly of the To- calls started gang of men at work this morning fixing up" at Newfield park. The cold wind that blew across

Jess Willard, heavyweight cham pion of the world, is too old to fight for Uncle Sam. He says so himself. That little difference, which a world war makes to so many craven spirits, has added just about ten years to the circus champions estimate of his age. Willard is tottering on the verge of 40, he says in defence of the charges of slackerism that have been laid at his door.
 Yet Jess is not too old to f1ght---for Willard. He proposes to appear be- fore the public in defence of his title on July 4, a day which means some thing to real patriotic souls. He will exploit his weather-beaten frame, his 1 doddering steps and his silver locks for stacks of gold that sportsmen could put to far better use right now in Liberty bonds.
 True, Willard believes he has an ace in the hole. He believes his prospec- tive antagonist, Fred Fulton, cannot sustain such a clip as Jess is liable to put over to the jaw.
 It was unofficiany announced last night that Pete Hartley, the new dur able Dane, will oppose Lew Tender, the latest Philadelphia sensation, in the star bout of F rounds on the card to be presented by the Arena A. c. in New Haven the second week in May. Hartley fought Tender in Philadel- Iphia a few weeks ago, the referee stopping the bout with the exDlana- Ition that he was in no condition to continue Hartley claims that he was the victim of raw deal and now seeks revenge.

good demonstration OF the ease OF

Mr Patton has made a record for
electric car sal"s during the month
q March The reason for this sue
ccssful drive they say is the
change In the viewpoint Of the man
OF the house He has decided that
one gng car In the family, which he
alone can drive, is not sufficient for
the entire family needs. and many
men are getting tired OF being called
away from their business To fulnll
their obligations TO the family with
the one car for which he acts aH

The rgical solution is gas car
