Stage Set for Battle Be-. tween Lew Tender and Willie Jackson at Arena in New Haven-Red Allen to Box Tommy Marengo in Semi Windup.

The stage is all set for one of the classiest boxing bouts ever staged in New England, which takes place this evening at the Arena in New Haven under the direction of the newly or ganized Temple Amusement company. Lew Tender, the sensational south paw lightweight of Philadelphia, and Willie Jackson, the New York won- der, are down for 15 rounds to de- cision and boxing fans all over the country are anxiously awaiting the result of this important clash to de- eide which of the classy 1ightwe eights is entitled to a bout. against Benny .Leonard for the lightweight cham ptonshfp of the world.

Ring Activities

In sharp contrast to the attitude of Jess Willard is the position taken by another champion, Johnny Kilbane, the holder of the featherweight title He has been busy teaching the sol diers how to box and recently said:
 Boxing has proved it's valde in the United States army, and I am proud to have been one of the many in- structors. We all know it's use in bayonet work, both In the attack and defense, but it also can be used for other things. I hope to see it adopted officially by the government
 Are you going to fight again?" he was asked.
 ''I am not, and you can make it as strong as you like," was the reply q am in this war game for keeps and will stick until it is over. have been offered 1000 to appear in one bout but have turned it down. I want to help others and not myself in these times. Why, if I decided to box some opponent I would have to train for a month or so, and what would happen to my work in the camp? No, there will be no more boxing for me except before my class of soldiers. That's all I want.
 "I can't see that Fulton Willard bout that is taking up so much space in the newspapers. I don't believe it would be the best thing to stage it at this time. The big fight in France is enough to think about now, and the promoters and fighters would confer a big favor on the public by forgetting all about it for three or four months" 1"

FIsTIC HISTORY

An April fool joke that was pulled off thirty days late was the bout be- tween Bob Fitzsimmons and Ed Dunk horst, which took place in Brooklyn eighteen years ago today, with the Brooklyn fans cast for the role of suckers. Dunkhorst had never taken part in a. real battle when he met Fitzsimmons He was a giant in stature, and weighed something less than 300 pounds, but not a whole lot less. Jim Jeffries, who was then training for his fight with Corbett, engaged Ed as a human punching bag. One Sunday the reporters at Jeffs training camp, being short Of news for the Monday morning papers, "interviewed'' ,Jeffs trainers, and sent out a story to the effect that Dunk horst was the. coming champion of the world. It was a joke, but the sport public 'enamoUed of Eds size, took it seriously, and clamored to see Dunkhorst in action.
 A Brooklyn club offered Ed a match with Fitz, and Dunkhorst, who was crazy like a fox, expressed his willingness to mop up the ring with the lanky one for the sum of $1,O0o.
 Ed knew he would stand no chance
 with Bob, so he wisely demanded that the coin be paid over before the bout.
 Fitz let the human mountain go
 one round. and then in the second inning sent over punch to the jaw that sent Ed down with 2 crash that l broke window glass a block away
 and sent people out into the streets
 to avoid being buried in the ruins
 when the next quake came. Ed got
 his thousand and afterward took par
 in a number of minor bouts.

BIC LEAGUES TO
 PLAY IN NEWARK
Ban Johnson Schedules Reg ular Sunday Games at
 Harrison Ball Park.

Trouble is brewing between the major leagues and the new Interna- tional league over the Newark terri tory. The American league has sent out orders that regular championship games are to be played at the Federal league park in Harrison, just outside of Newark, regardless of the fact that the new international has scheduled many games at Weidmayers Park in the same city.
 Ordinarily the major leagues would not invade the territory of another clubs protected under the national agreement, but the attitude of the International League during the last winter in failing to settle up the af- fairs of the defunct organization made a verey bad impression on the Ma tional Commission.
 It is understood that the National and American leagues offered to turn over Harrison park to the new In ternatioIral league for their Sunday games but it is said the offer which the new league made for the rental of the park would not commence to pay for the taxes and the cost of up keep which the tmo major leagues are now paying for the idle property. | The majors are paying Harry F. Sinclair, formerly owner of the New ark club. of the Federal league an annual rental of $10,000 for a, period of twenty years for the Harrison park and they will have to put it to some use or suffer a dead loss. It is un- derstood that the new international will not pay the price which the ma jors want. for the property. The ma jors are expected to play champion ship Sunday games there. The Fed eraI league park in Harrison can be reached in thirty minutes by the Hud- son Tube.
 The American league has already made it known that it will have games at Harrison this summer. It was planned to play a game there yester- day between the Yankees and Wash ington, but Washington was not able to fill the engagement because of a game previously scheduled in Provi- | dence.
 It is likely that on next Sunday the Yankees will play one of their regu- lar games with the Boston Red Sox
 in Harrison. The National league has
 not yet made anay decision about
 playing in Harrison on Sunday, but it
 is certain that it's attitude will be
 the same as that of the American
 league. and that when the Giants and
 Brooklyn return from their first Wes-
 tern trip they will play at the old . Federal league grounds.
 The new International league is
 scheduled to open it's season on May
 s, but this decision by the mapors
 may result in a withdrawal of the Newark club from that city. It is certain that the International can not ) hope to compete successfully with the major leagues in the same territory.

Veteran Cyclist
 Starts on Grind

Newark, April 29-Frank L. Kra- mer, former national cycling cham pion, started in on his 21st year of active competition at the Velodrome here yesterday afternoon by beating Bob Spears of Australia in one-mile match race, Kramer made an aus spicious start, winning two out of three heats.
 Kramer won the first heat by the length of his front wheel. In the sec ond, Spears rode around him on the back stretch winning by more than length. Kramer then came back in the last heat and took this one by four open lengths.
 Ali Brenda took the five-miIe open from Percy Lawrence, Jackie Clark, Jake Magin, Francesca Verri, and Reggi McNamara, who finished in that order. The haIf-miIe handicap went to Charley Piercey.

Uncle Sam Solves Batting Problem by Taking 36
 Pitchers From Big Show.

Uncle Sam seems to have solved the batting problem of the major leagues. Your uncle down in Washington con- cluded the big leagues were top heavy with pitching talent, so he executed a neat little raid on the twirling corps of the circuits of Messrs. Tener and Johnson and swore the captured pitchers into his own service. By taking 36 men from the various big league staffs Uncle Sam has made the hitting much easier for the survivors. Of the 36, 21 are from the American League and IS from the National
 Every club in the big leagues has given up at least one pitcher.
 The pitchers of the various big league clubs now members of Uncle Sam's fighting forces or who will be in the National Army the end of the month are as follows:
 National League-Brook ooklyn, Pfeffer, Smith, Galore, Miljus, Mitchell; Gin cinnati, Toney, Ruether; Chicago, Alexander; Philadelphia, Rixey; St. Louis, Hortman, Goodwin; Pittsburg, Evans, Ponder; New York, Jones, Stryker; Boston, Scott.
 American League-Cleveland K1ep- fer, Lambeth, Dickerson, Torkleson; Boston, Shore, Pennock, Bader; Phil adelphia, Johnson, Seibold, Moves, Naylor; New York, Fisher, Shawkey, Smallwood; St. Louis, Koob, Fincher; Detroit, Ehmke, Oldham; Chicago, Scott; Washington, Yingling.
 Of the twirlers in Uncle Sam's ser vice, Jim Scott of the White Sox has risen highest, as he emerged from a training camp last summer with the rank of captain. Eppa Rixey of the Phillies and Len Cadore are the only other pitchers to win commissions; Rixey is a lieutenant in the Gas and lieutenant in the infantry. Eppa al ways had a hankering for chemistry and his knowledge of that science en- ab1ed him to win shoulder straps. It was necessary to replace many ot these men with minor leaguers, while regular pitchers probably will be | worked harder this season than ever before. The Brooklyn staff seems tC be the only one dented badly. Uncle l Sam took all of Connie Mack's ki6 pitchers, but he has bobbed up with the best staff he has had since he broke up his old championship team The Boston National staff looks about the weakest in the game, bu

Here and There

Rube Marquard started the season in New York as usual The former New York pitcher, now doing duty with the Ribons, received a hearty welcome from his old team mates, but that didn't stop them from knocking him all over the lot, and Uncle Robbie took him out of the box. Rube thereby gained the dis tinction of being the first pitcher in the national league to be knocked out of the box this season.
 Connie Mack picked up a valuable pitcher in Scott Perry, the former Southern league star. Perry was with the Cubs in 1916, but played inde- pendent ball last season.
 The latest star on the baseball fir mament, the Washington high school pitcher Herpsberger, ought to live to break all previous baseball records. If he can hang up tWenty-one strike outs in nine innings, as he did the other day, when he is seventeen years old, he ought, by the time he is twenty five, to be able to let the rest of the team go home and spend quiet afternoon with the family while he does a few turns on the mound.

OF
 CHANGES DEBUT

Frank Leroy Chance made his first big league appearance twenty years ago today. April 29. 1898, in the uni form of the Chicago Nationals. The Peerless leader was born in Fresno, Cal, in 1879, and had played only college and independent ball before he went to Chicago. He considered himself catcher in those days, and it was not until 1902 that he was giv- en & chance to cover first base, the position in which he gained his great est fame as a player. His record as a. first baseman has rarely been equal led and alone entities him to a place in the baseball hall of fame. He be- came captain of the Cubs in 1905 following the retirement of Bobby Lowe, and a little later became man ager of the club. Popularity with the other players gave Chance his chance to become a Peerless leader" and draw a large and juicy salary from the Cubs and later from the New York Yankees. Chances team cop ped the pennant in 1906. 1907, 1908 and 1910, and annexed two world's championship flags. In 1906 Chances men set up a record by winning lie
 games in a season, although in the worlds series they were defeated by the Chicago White Sox.
