kAY'S FATHER
 CAN'T SEE II

Joie Ray tells a good story on himself. When Joie came home with 8 big silver cup after winning his first big mile race he showed it to his father. ''Ps-sh"' said the old man. 'Ts that what they gave up for run ming all that distance? Sure, that's hardly worth running TOT. Why didn't they give you some money?''
 But I cannot take money. you know. father; am an amateur. And think Of all the honor attached to winning such a race!"
 "Oh, honor be darned!" replied the old man. They will not be giving you any honor when those pegs of yours refuse to work!' And Joie went on his way, almost inclined to take to the fight game instead of run ming.
 Incidentally Joie took another fall out of Joe Stout in a special 1000 yards race at the Kansas City A C. Saturday night in what was said to be the fastest time on 12-lap track. Joie Is becoming another Frank kra- mer for consistency. By this time Stout must become tired of viewing Joie's number in a distance race.

RIBBONS MEET
 ANSONIA TONIGHT

With the series tied, twO-all indi- cations point tonight that the fifth game of the professional basketball cham pionship between the Blue RlP- bons and Ansonia lives at Colonial hall will be one of the hardest fought contests staged in this city this sea son, Both teams will be prepared for the most stubborn opposition, but no change will be made in the ineups
 Both Manager Leavy and Wright will be on hand with enough reserves to make it interesting for the oppo- s!tion. Ernie Reich, however, will take Wassmer's place at left forward for the Ansonian aggregation. Relch' who Is a brother to the once hopeful white hope" named Al Reich, Is an progressively fast player and in all his appearances on the local floor has at tracted considerable attention.
 The Ansonians are confident Of vic tory tonight, their last victory over the Ribbons being accomplished so cleanIy and oIeverly that they feel now that they have got the edge on the locals This, however, is disputed by Manager Jack Leavy who Is cer- tain that his team will again jump into the lead by taking tonights games. He said that he had heard from all his players and that they all reported themselves being in the very best physical condition.
 Ward Brennan will referee agaSn tonight, while Joe Waters and J. J. Hines will hold the ti1nepiece. The game will start promptly at 8:so and will be followed by dancing with music furnished by Professor Quilty's orchestra.

As the result of the splendid show ing he made Saturday night against Joe Yelling of Chicago, Paul Doyle of New Haven has been offered a match with that lightweight for next month at the National A. C. in Marie vile, F. l. over the 12-round route Jack Bulger, WeIing's manager, has turned down the match, however.
 Louis Bogash of this city has start ed training as his manager has sev- eral good bouts in store for him. Man ager Driver left tor " for Boston to witness the ail-star card at the Ar mory A A in that city. He also ex- poets to match Bogash with Chick West of Holyoke and Sergt. CharIr= Pitts with Billy Carney for bouts i . the Hub.
 Bogash. by the way. will in all bability again meet Terry Brooks of Boston within two weeks Nego- nations were opened today with the matchmaker of the Lewiston. Me. club for a second meeting between the two week from tonight. Rogash defeated Brooks decisIveIy in Boston in February
 Manager sammy Driver and his battlers, Larry Williams, Louis Bo- gash, Red Allen and Sergt. Pitts will have nothing to do with any of Leo r. F1ynn's men, according to q state ment made by Driver today. Sammy has consequently turned down a match between Pete Hartley and Louis Bogash at Derby on April 24
 Promoter McNuIty of Derby has practically consented to postpone *he date of his fight at the Sterling thea ire there. He had originally selected April 24. but on the request of the fans will probably hold the show either week earlier or q week later The main bout will in all probability De a 12-round bout between Louis Bogash and Johnny Clinton of New York.
 Lew Brown announced today that his lightweight, Chic Brown of New Haven, will surely be one of the principals in the star bout at show to be held at the Arena, there on April 24. Brown has accepted a. good percentage for his protege's ser vices.
 Jack Bulger told the writer in New Haven the ether day that Joe weIung stands ready to meet Johnny Dundee any time, anywhere and for anything. Jack has a bone to pick with Johnny Several months ago when the two met in Boston Scotty Monteith, who was then piloting Dundee, grabbed $250 representing the weight forfeit be- cause Joe was 8 pound overweight
 Dick Boadman of Buffalo just to prove to a few inqufsitive persons that he is no lightweight has decided to accept g. match with Battling Red dy of New York at Milwaukee on April II. He has a1s0 agreed to make 18o pounds ringside for the New Yorker.
 Ralph Brady of Syracuse has ap- parently made up his mind to get rid of the easier boys before running a chance at the championship as to- morrow night he will meet Tommy Tuohey of Jersey City at the Pine Tree A C. in Portland Ralph hae been guaranteed $500 for his end. Young Montreal of Providence will have his hands full on April when he meets Young SoIsberg of New York in 12-round bout at Jack Doherty's National A. C. in Marie vile, R. I.

ESE DDIT1 MORGAN of PhiIadeI- E phia" was advertised to box Frankie Britt at Lowell. The Boston boxing experts knew that the "Eddio Morgan" who met Frankie Britt was not the original Philadelphian. Yet they permitted ths public to be hum bugged and then when Eddie steps forward with a clean bill and proves concluslvely that he was not in Low eIl, Doc Amy apologetically attempts to exonerate Frankie Britt, the pro Nmoter and everybody else concerned d with the following expIana ton:
 "In connection with the recent trouble at Lowell concerning the
 non-appearance there Of Eddie
 Morgan of Philadelphia it would
 be of interest to know why Nor
 gan failed to discover that he
 was not boxing in Lowell until
 after he had learned of "his''
 defeat there by Britt It would
 be unfair for Morgan to pre-
 sume that had Britt lost the bat
 tie that he (AforganD would
 have thrown out his chest and
 remained modestly quiet over the
 victory. In any event, the bout
 was widely advertised for more N- than a week in advance and was
 copied by New York papers. It
 is surprising that Eddie failed
 to see or hear of the fact that
 he was booked to box in Lowell
 until after the affair there had
 taken place.
 Tn concluding the subject in justice to both Britt and his R manager, it might he said that the wha1er has yet to pick op- Y ponents, fought more decision
 battles in 1918 than any other
 boxer of class in the world and
 has seldom given the fans any cause for dissatisfaction. With
 the various clubs in the East the word of Britts manager has been sufficient to bind match. While

e ONE ONE OF these days Jack O Johnson, former heavyweight champion, IS going to surprise sport dom by actually coming into the States and surrendering himself to the Federal authorities, who have been seking him for several years. Jack has fled Havana and IS now in Mexico, but from a friend now living in Mexico this morning I received the appended letter with the information that the Mexicans, too, do not desire the colored man as g. permanent guest:
 Friend Rog:-
 "Jack Johnson, hear here, has arrived in this country and intends to stay here indefinitely. have been here several years and think, I understand the people in this country and from what I have heard 1 don't think that Johnson will be in Mexico very long. He is not wanted. One thing Is certain and that is that he will under no condition fight in this country. There Is no one trying to persuade him to enter the ring, either. They know better than to attempt to
 
 son as one of the principals.
 Johnson was taken unded ar rest while in Havana. and spent several days in tail there. He was released only on condition that he leave the country at once. That's why he has wished hlll- self on Mexico, but Mexicans have no room for the like of him and don't be surprised if some one of these mornings you read that Johnson has turned himself over to the Federal au- thorities in the States.
 'I learn from several folks close to Johnson that he is lone some for the sight of his old haunts. With his mother dead, he talks of nothing but dem good old days in Chi He can't re- turn to France, for he evaded military service there. Spain has thrown him out and England will lock him up if he attempts to step on its soil, so, Rog, 1t looks like the husky old boy Will ~ soon be in the States again. but not as a chanp.on-as prison CT. an outcast, long sought on the charge ct violation of the Mann White Slave Act.
 You probably have heard that boxing is booming down here That is not so. I read in a coup le of the San Antonio papers that I glance at once in a while that boxing was booming in Mexico Now that is most assuredly not so As q matter it is a fact. Mexicans haven't seen boxing bout in so long, they will never again learn to appreciate one. h Down in the Panama zone, how ever, am told that the boys are staging boxing entertainments nightly and Iromoters there arc receiving big prices for admission to their shows. The United States soldiers too. are conducting box ing shows down in Empire City in tho Canal Zone.

ID OxING PROMOTERS In and h around Boston suppose them selves to be a trifle moro intelligent than those in other sections of inc country. But we didn't know that they are as crooked as the worst in the game. A fine trick the Low ell promoter played on Eddie AIorg;-L of Philadelphia last week, aided and abetted by a couple of crooked man agers and go-betweens from Boston!
 Frankie Britt of New Bedford has been made by two men. And Ray Cass is neither one. Britt has met all the flop artists in the country. He has had more easy marks, who were bought and paid for. as opponents than any two men in the ring today. But that was not enough. They had to use the name of one of the ganest and best little scrappers in the coun- try with which to pad his record.
 Imagine yourself being out of the boxing gamo for any length of time and then some morning getting up and learning that you" had been knocked out by some ono something Ike a three or four hundred miles from where you really were. Anyway, that was the experience Morgan had last week.

George III. was even more enthus- iastic in his admiration of boxing than his predecessors, and 1o5 years ago this year gave a boxing show to celebrate the triumph over Napoleon. the spectators including the rulers of Prussia and Russia, who were then visiting England, and many other notabIes.
