BOXING BILL At
ALBANY FAILS

Albany, N. Y, April 11-senator
Robert F. Lawson's bill which would
take amateur boxing contests out of
the restrictions now imposed by law
on prize fighting and permit admis-
sion fees to be charged, was defeat
ed in the Senate tonight, % to 16.
The vote, however, was reconsid-
cred and the bill will again be press
ed for passage probably today, when
five Democrats absent at last night
session are expected to vote in favor
of the measure and enable it's pas
sage.
The penal law which makes It a
Imisdemeanor now to have connection
in any way with prize fighting, would
not apply to amateur bouts of not
more than four rounds of three min
utes duration with five ounce gloves
under the laws on the bill.
The measure, however, provides
that amateur bouts must be sanction.

from a number of the clubs met in
Springfield late in February Four
other clubs have yet to decide def
nitely whether they are to enter, and
it is expected that two or three more

PLAY TOMORROW

Yankees are now sure of taking a
majority of their spring games with
National League clubs. The prelim-
mary schedule calls for eleven games
with the Boston Braves and two with
the Robins and Higgins men now
nave rung up. seven victories over
clubs from the rival league. Contin-
ued reverses up to Sunday next, when
the 1nterleague programme is COM
pleted, cannot change the result.
The Yankees are now displaying a
decided reversal in batting form, as
compared with their efforts during the
last four days of last week, but the
Braves, likewise are so sadly def.
cient in attack that the falling off in
New York stick work has not beer
very costly.
Higgins is getting away with vic

are quite likely to be in the back.

POLLOCK PEEVED!

Harry Pollock is peeved over theI
way the reports about the Lew
Tendler-Patsy Cline were sent out.
Here is Pollock's yarn received in thisI
mornings mail: II
Sporting Editor Times:
The practice some managers oil
boxers make of rushing to the tele-'
graph office Immediately after a conf
test, and flooding the wires with mes
sages to papers all over the country.
telling how far their men won, is
most deplorable. It also, very often,
works a great injustice to some boxer
whose manager does not resort toI
such tricks. This was forcibly illus
trated the other night when "Irish'1
Patsey Cline boxed Lew Tender in
Philadelphia. Cline beat Tender but
when we reached New York-haying
left Philadelphia on the midnight
train-We were astounded to find the
papers containing reports that Tend
Ter had won the battle. Some of them
even went so far as to say that Lew
won by a big margin. Tenders man
ager had evidently written wires to
all the Gotham papers before the
match took place.
I am enclosing you a couple of slip
| pings. One from New York paper
which sent its personal representative
to the ringside. He reported the
contest correctly, saying Cline won
handily. The other is a Philadelphia,
| picked out at randum. Again Cline
won. It's about time boxing authorf-
ties and clubs banded together to bar
managers who resort to such prac-
| tice. Very truly,
| Harry Pollock,
Manager Irish" Patsey Cline.

YANKS ENJOYED
GOOD WORKOUT

Chattanooga, Tenn, April 1.-THE
final game of the Brooklyn Boston
Red Sox series was spoiled here yes
terday by a heavy rain storm and the
Dodgers started back to Brooklyn
where they will play their first home
exhibition game against the Yankees
tomorrow.
Manager Robinson's payers will
come home in good physical trim and
the Brooklyn leader is pleased over
their good showing against the Red
Sox The club had run into bad
weather for the PAST few days which
may have bad effect on the good re-
suits which were obtained during the

GIANTS EVEN
SERIES With
new ORLEANS

New Orleans, April 11.-Effective
pitching by Slim Sallee and Fred An
derston and prolific batting by the
Giants hitters gave McGraw's club
4-to-1 victory over the Cleveland In
dams here yesterday. The New York
players made II hits off the pitching
of Coveleski and Lambeth, the upper
end of the batting order hitting the
ball freely.
The Giants hit their proper stride in
taking yesterdays contest, and the
victory evened up the series. Each
club has won two games and played
one five-inning tie. Although he
limped slightly, Benny Kauff refused
to stay out of the game and made a
hit and talliei a run.
p Andersons pitching was a pleasant
surprise to NcGraw, for, after he re-
lieved Sallee in the sixth, the Indians
didn't get a hit Two of the -four hits
they made off Sallee came in the
fourth inning and resulted in the In
dams only run. The Giants pounded
Coveleski hard, and the pitcher, who
last season was the shut-out king OF
the American League, was the VIC
tim of nine hits and issued three
| passes,

Hal Justin Is Peeved
Over Portland Deal

Hal Justin, the former Springfield
pitcher, who twirIed for Toronto last
season, is peeved over the action of
that club whereby they covered up
their players through the medium of
the Portland club of the Eastern
League and the new Providence club.
It seems that Mccartney of Toronto
sold his players just before the dis
bandment of the International League
to Providence, and they in turn sold
from Portland through the sale of
players now go back to Providence
from Portland through the sal e of
of the franchise and players effected
last Monday, the understanding being
that they are returned to Toronto by
Providence now that the new Inter
national League is organized.
Justin was of the opinion that he
was a free agent, and regrets to
learn differently. He may not play
in organized ball this year, as it was
announced that he had signed to pitch
for the Hendees in the Springfield
Shop League.

Two States Toss Moth Jess WardFred Fulton Title Bout
peanuts, Popcorn
and Thrift Stamps!''

Chicago, April II - Thrift
Stamps, peanuts, popcorn" will
be the cry of peanut boys in base
ball parks throughout thee ountry
this season if the club owners of
the various leagues act on the
suggestion of the National War
Savings Committee.
President Johnson of the Ameri-

instructed the club owners to in
stall booths for the sale of War
Savings and Thrift Stamps and
that candy vendors would carry
the campaign through the crowds
if possible.
Thomas j. Hickey, president of
the American Association, also
said that the plan would be placed

Plenty of Room in France
For Willard and Fulton
Governor Lindsey of New
Mexico Hurls Bombshells
at Fight Proposition While
Governor Boyle of Nevada
Says Nothing Doing"

It begins to look, after ALL as though
the only way Jess Willard and Fred
Ferocious Fulton will be able to go
through with their proposed cham
pi6nship battle on July 4 will be to
climb into suits of khaki and emf
CRATE to France, with the other
thousands of young men who are go
ing overseas to jab the Kaiser's
hordes into inconsistencies.
During the course of preliminary
training as soldiers, Jess and Fred
might enter the military boxing
championships, and, if both came
through undefeated to the finals, they
: could fight for the championship of
the division to which they were at
! tached and at the same time decide
! the worlds heavyweight title.
} When Colonel Josevh Carson Miller,
of Oklahoma, came East recently, he
was hunting a place iEs which to stage
the heavyweight battle. Many, many
fat and luscious offers were made
to the colonel by Eastern promoters,
or those who thought they would
LIKE to be promoters, but when it
came right down to carpet tacks,
these promoters were just conversing
money-they didn't have it to spend,
or even to offer. After chasing
I will -the-wisps around here for
more than a week. Colonel Miller
started back for the West.
In Chicago, two Or three days ago,
the Oklahoma rancher declared that
there were three cities anxious to
hold the Willard Fulton fight, and he
named them, as follows: Las Vegas
N. M, Reno, New, and Denver, Col
Yesterday came the bombshells-
two of 'em. Governor Lindsey Of
New Mexico was asked if he would
give permission for the holding OF
the championship bout in his state
His reply was short, but he said E
whole lot: "The Willard-F'ultor
fight cannot be held in New Mexico
while I am governor"
Governor Boyle of Nevada was ever
more emphatic when he was asked
how he regarded the proposal
willard and Fulton cannot fight il
Nevada on July 4 or any other date
They have my unqualified permission
however, to go to France and fgh
the Boche any time they are ready
was the way the Nevadan expressed
himself.
This leaves only Colorado in tn
reckoning, according to Colonel Mil
ler's own statement of last week. ant
so we just can't help blossoming RICH
out into poetry, to wit:
Three little fight states, ready 70
their cue;
The Governor of one said mix!
and then there were two.
Two little fight states, basking in tn
sun;
The Governor of one cried Scat!
and then there was one.

FANS WAITING FOR
CRYOF "PLAY BALL

Evidently the fans are hungry for
the national pastime. The announce
ment that the Yankees will play the
Robins at Ebbets Field tomorrow and
Saturday has swamped the Brooklyn
clubs officials with applications for
reserved seats and complimentary
tickets. These games will introduce
the teams led by Miller Higgins and
Wilbert Robinson to the metropolitan
baseball public for the first time this
year. The Yankees are rapidly pre-
pairing for the opening of the Ameri-
can League season in Washington
next Monday, while the Robins are
nearly ready for the first battle at
the Polo Grounds with the champion
Giants on Tuesday. If the weather is
fair, the games at Ebbets Field should
draw large crowds.
