In Memory Of Chauncey
Ernest Leathers

We deem ourselves utterly unable
to give adequate expression to the
{ feelings of our hearts in the sore loss
we have sustained in what seemed to
and efficient teacher, Mr.. Chauncey
! Ernest feathers. He was a young
man of unusual ability, of kindly dis
position, of genial spirit, of untiring
effort for good, all of which rapidly
drew us to him. Now that he is
gone, We do not know how better to
express our feelings than to say, we
loved him, and we keenly feel our
! loss. However, we shall think of
him as just gone a little ahead of
US, our leader still, to the Promised
Land; for to such as he was
There is no death; what seems so is
transition;
This life of mortal breath
Is but a suburb of the life Elysian,
Whose portal we call death"
Our temporary loss OF him is
great, but each one of us feels as did
! the poet for a friend
lnI cannot feel that thou are far,
Since near at need the angels are;
And when the sunset gates Unbar,
Shall 1 not see thee waiting stand,
The welcome of thy reckoning
hand?"
| We, the members of Grace Church
Baraca Glass, assembled in our class
room on Sunday morning, February
8, 1919, do solemnly resolve:
First. That, in the death OF
Chauncey Ernest feathers, we have
lost an efficient teacher, wise lead
er, a warm-hearted brother, a true
and helpful friend.
Second. That we endeavor to fol-
low his leadership still, until the last
one of us has crossed the river, and,
on the fiowery escarpment of hea-
ven's eternal landscape, we stand
with him again and sing the songs of
everlasting triumph and victory.
Third. That we tender his broken
| hearted companion, his bereaved pa
rents and all his loved ones, our
| warmest, sincerest, heartfelt sympa-
thy, and commend them to the Hea-
venly Father, Who works all things
together for good, to them that love
God"
Fourth. That we pray for his lit
tie infant boy 20 follow in the foot
steps of the father to conservation
and usefulness of life.

CUE DISPUTE TO
 BE ARBITRATEO
De Gro and Cannefix Consent to Plan For a Peace
 Conference.

New York, May 12-The De Oro- Cannefax controversy as to foul shot charged by the veteran against his opponent during their three cush- ion title match at the Friars club is to be settled by arbitration. When the question was submitted to the of f1cials of the Brunswick-Ba1ke collen- der Company, Honor of the champion ship emblem, j. was said that the mat ter would be handled by the board of directors Of that corporation. De Gro suggested that 1t would take consid- erable time to get the board of di- rectors together and suggested that each player name an umpire, and these to select a referee, the three thus named to constitute a board of arbitration. The suggestion was ac- -cepted by the Brunswick company, and the celebrated case seems in a fair way of settlement. De Orc an- nounced that if the board thus form ed decided against him he never again would mention the matter.
 The entire dispute hinges on the question as to whether the referee of the match, Albert Cutler. erred in de- ciding that the balls should not be replaced after foul stroke by Canne- fax. oTIna tazA-~ JAAA tAA vs1IkA AAI kA

' s THE Jess Willard-Jack Dempsey match a prize fight?
 It is most emphadcally not a prize fight
 What is a prize fight?
 Now Sou're talking. But let's begin at the beginning.
 A prize fight is NOT a boxing match Any attempt on the part of any one attempting to show where prize fighting and boxing are one and the same thing are absolutely talk ing from mere ignorance of what constitutes a boxing match. Neither are the terms synonmous as some people would want us to believe.
 The Jess Willard Jack Dempsey match is NOT a prize fight for several reasons
 A prize fight means simply fighting for a prize. And the present day fighters or boxers do nothing of the sort Ten or 12 years ago there were prize fights We call them prize fights because the participants fought for a. prize
 By this I mean to say that when a promoter approached a boxer or his manager with a proposition involving g a match with somebody he usually put up a certain amount, which was to go to the winner. That Is, this promoter would put aside S50s0OO, of which s3O,Ooo or $40, 900 would go to the winner and the rest to the loser In that case the pugs fought for a certain amount-the prize being the larger amount which was to go to the winner.

TIPS AND RAPS
 ON LIVE SPORTS
By GEORGE c. HAWNLAN.

E9 EALIzING the folly of turning the AA Arena into a garage the local owner of he New Haven auditorium has finally made up his mind to let well enough alone. This means a lot to Connecticut, for the Arena is the only large auditorium where this state could hope to stage anything worth while in the line of sports and theatricaIs.
 However, it will continue to be the home of big boxing shows, if Joe has has his way. Sherman's mission in New York yesterday was to line up managers of first class boxers who will show in the Elm City within a short while. Regardless of whether or not Governor Holcomb signs the boxing bill, the sport will be resumed there.
 If the governor does not sign the bill, 15-round bouts will be a fact in New Haven The four-round meet ings were to be kept in vogue only until such time as the governor de- cided what to 10 with the bill. If the governor vetoes the measure New Ha- ven will go back to 15 rounds. If the bill becomes a law, however, only eight rounders will be permissible.
 rEl HE victory of Sir Barton in the
 Kentucky Derby on Saturday was a triumph not only for the horse and it's owner, Commander J. K. L. Ross, who unfortunately did not see his favorite win over Eternal and Billy Kelly, the supposedly best bets, hav- ing been called away from the track because of illness in the family, but also for Johnny Loftus, the jockey and John E. Madden, the trainer
 It was a wonderful ride that Jockey Loftus rode and only because of its master hand was the three-year-old able to come through with victory. The victory also proved the astute- ness of Trainer Madden, who bred the l colt and had been proclaiming him all along one of the best in this country His victory was not at all surprising for he finished second to Dunboyne in the F'uturity of last sea- son and early this year gave promise of being one of the best colts on the American turf.

" oDAY we have no such purses A

ODA4 we ndNS hOf SLlI11 PuASCS- \ promoter guarantees or promises to give a boxer a certain amount There is no prize. It's compensation for services rendered. In the old days scrappers used to fight for hours merely for q few dollars Nowadays boxers know what they are to receive before they start preparing for a bout. In other words prize fighting means just what 1t says-battling for a certain prize.
 For a minister or reformer to at tempt to say that present day boxing is prize fighting is not a statement of facts. Boxers nowadays are not prize fighters A boxer today wants to know what he Is to get before he signs for a match.
 Jess Willard and Jack Dempsey will NOT figure in a prize fight. Neither can they be called prize fighters. Willard will receive $1OO.- 900 for defending his title against a logical ontender-Jack Dempsey who will receive S27,0OO. The two will be paid for SERVICES REND- BRED by Promoter Tex Rickard.

HanOeQ ana aLSO aETaDge IQe DOA1uB shows that are to be held there. IT OR some unknown reason there has been considerable talk and speculation current here regarding the possibility of Sapper Cohen of this city stopping Mickey Travers of New Haven There have been a few who have been so far taken away with the splendid way in which the Sapper is coming along that they for get that Mickey Travers is no lemon, nor one whose ability must be given only passing consideration
 Personally I don't look for a knockout by either lad. I look for ward to a stiff battle between a clever boxer and a hard-hitting slugger. believe that the Sapper is clever enough to keep away from the New Ravener's wicked blows. And be- lieve also that Mickey is versed enough in boxing not to attempt to box the Bridgeport. for if he attempts this chances are ? to l that he will lose.
 Cohen is an enthusiastic lad but he knows that he will be meeting the toughest lad his weight in Connecti- cut Bridgeporbers have not seen anyway. All I do know is that 1t will take mighty good boy to beat Mickey Trayers

EFT US take the Chick Brown M Benny Leonard fight for ex- ample. Brown went along a round or two boxing cleverly. He landed some hard blows, but these were ex- pected. Then he landed an even harder wallop on Benny's jaw. This blow stunned Leonard for the time being-stunned because he did not think it was in Brown to hit so hard and because the blow came unexpect- edly.
 But this blow intoxicated Brown with nfidence-confidenc that proved his undoing. He stuck his chin out deliberately and the cham Dion clipped it once, clipped it twice and the third clip saw Brown crum- pie down into the floor for the count.
 Was it the punch that knocked Chic out?
 W'e'11 say no. It was the shock that followed his surprise at being hit so unexpectedly and quickly by the champion. Had Brown fought the champion instead of sticking out his chin of which he was so confi- dent he perhaps would have lived through the ten rounds. But he didn't
 We've seen Brown take harder blows on the chin than those raps of Leonard. But coming from a, cham pion and so unexpectedly, they shocked the New Havener to such an extent that every spark of confidence in him was killed. He was dazed by the punch and knocked out by the shock, if you please.

\ F A knockout is scored I will be disappointed - and surprised. of course; disappointed that one has been incompetent enough to allow the other to put over the dreamland knockout is scored. It is not always [ the best boxer who scores a knockout Knockout victories are deceptive. The general impression is that the boxer who scores a knockout is superior to the one who has been rocked to sleep. MereIy because tOpnotcher hap pens to make one single mistake that tresults in his knocking out is no con- elusive evidence that his opponent is superior.
 Ring history is crowded with incl dents that bear me out Many have been the cases where a, practically 11n- known boxer has come along and knocked out an admittedly superior Toe. But in most csTos such a kuock- out is purely and simple an accident. And the individual knocked out usu- ally comes back with a clean victory.

NH TCE1EY TRAVERS may outslug lVA Sapper Cohen and the latter may outbox the New Havener, but we don't expect a knockout. However, there are exceptions. The Sapper Is brirnfuI of confidence that he will win and win via the knockout route. He underesdmates Mickeys hitting abil- ity
 And it's this fact, Sapper's under estimation of Gickey's hitting ability that may beat him. One solid punch landed somewhere on the Sapper's an atomy may shock him the same as Benny's clean clip shocked Brown in to defeat. One cannot be too certain these days.
 We've seen the Sapper in exhibf- tions; but Wednesdays match is far from being an exhibition. It will be a test of skill at boxing. Mickey has the punch and Cohen has the science. Now, who will win?
 Personally, we will look to the two to go over the full distance. We be- ieve the Sapper is too clever to allow the New Pavener to slip over either rnitt with a terrific wallop and also that Cohen does not possess a. wallop sufficiently hard to stop a tough nut like Travers. But we do believe that they will be in there returning punch for punch.
 From where we sit it looks like an even thing.
