IN ALL probability boxers of this A city will oppose a number of well known talent from New York and Philadelphia late Saturday afternoon and early that night in a novel out door show to be held at the City Hall plot, Broad and State streets for the benefit of the Victory Loan. Las- Monday directed attention to the in activity of athletes and particularly boxers and baseball players to boost this loan.
 The other day we ran across sev- era1 boxers and their managers and these offered to give their services for the outdoor show suggested Ia tass column. It is understood that Mayor Clifford Wilson is heartily in favor of such a novel means of bringing in subscriptions. The ring has already been offered. All that remains now is the sanction of the Liberty Loan Committee and this is expected to be given today.
 The idea is that for every total
 subscription of $10, 1000 two even
 ly matched boxers will box four
 two-minute-round bouts. The

wanted the bout for Cleveland but there was too many obstacles and rather than run the risk of creating dissension. Tex and Matt looked around elsewhere in Ohio for site and finally hit on Toledo.
 Within the next three or four days Hinkle will in all probability be named referee for the big fight. Matt has already announced that what money he would ordinarily receive for his services as referee will be do mated to some childrens charity in stitution. Matt is the most popular promoter in Ohio and an honest, straightforward, fearless referee. So far as our informant has been able to learn none of the pincipals hold any grievance against Htnkle and will welcome his selection

A MOTHER interesting piece of in 4 4A formation announces t h q Princeton lost 19 sport heroes on tn battlefield. The college athlete indee, paid a big price in this last war Judging from the article that appear d in this newspaper The article part, reads as follows:
 If a table were to be compiled of the recognized athletes of America who served in the pres ent war, it would probably show that the college athletes, more than any other class. rallied promptly to the nations call. Princeton alone lost 19 sports heroes killed and ten wounded and Yale's athletic toll was 13 wounded.
 The Yale athletes killed were Albert D. Sturtevant captain of the 1915 crew; Alexander D. Will son, captain of the 1916 football team; John W. Overton, captain of the 1917 track team; James F.

A meeting will probably be held to- morrow night.
 The plan to organize the faster in dependent teams of this city has met with much favor and the only prob lem offered is the selection of mines to constitute the circuit. At pres ent there are more than g. dozen teams that are anxious to be includ- ed in such a league. Not all can be accomm odated.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, May S.---The Georgia Tech golf team made a clean sweep of it's golf tourney with liar yard at the Brae Burn Country Club course yesterday. The Southerns won all six matches.
 Bobby Jones, the Atlanta. youngster who made such a, creditable showing in the national amateur champion ship, defeated Wales, the Crimson tsar, up and to play. Jones turned in a card of 78, which was exception, ally good, because the course was wet and heavy.

T ODAY I received late issue Of 1 the Stars and Stripes, the A. E. F. official organ. Among the many interesting features that I noticed was the au-star A. E. F. gridirOn team, which is described in detail elsewhere on this page. The team in cludes many stars and apparently these did as well on the gridirOns of France as they did in this country prior to the war.
 However. the Stars and Stripes goes a step farther and gives praise to the American athlete who has gone to the other side. And it does this by publishing the following trib- ute to America and it's clean athletes who shouldered the gun:
 One of the wonders of the world war is the way the Ameri- cans have carried their sports to the battlefelds of France and Belgium. The sports invasion of these two countries is com plete with Yankee athletic ac- tivity manifested everywhere
 But it seems that American sports are destined to make their way into other countries as well. England has taken quite liking to our basketball games and in some places baseball is making a feeble fight to gain a foothold z -' in the land of cricket and tea. Now we learn that Russian prisoners of war, hopelessIy iso- lated in the former land of the Kaiser, are to be taught Aneri- can athletic games by doughboy tutors.
 The Russians are big, strong men and we can look forward to their rapid development along modern athletic lines. What they learn while informed in Germany waiting for the end of the verbal battle over on the Quai dOrsay they will take back home.

CHICK EVANS
 WILL TAKE IT EASY THIS YEAR

Apparently just one major event in the golhng world is going to draw the attention of Charles Chick" Evans, Jr., holder of the national amateur and open titles. For some time it has been known that there was little like ihood of his getting into either the national open or the Western open contests. It now develops that he has definitely decided to pass up the Western amateur to be staged at the Sun Set Hills Club in St. Louis June 16-21.
 Instead of this Evans will enter competition in a series of Red Cross matches over several Canadian courses, playing at Montreal, Quebec. St. Andrews by the Sea and Toronto. Chick is highly pleased with his past golfng experiences across the border, and is loud in his praise of Canadian courses as well as Cana dian sportsmen.

Jesse Winters, the lean pitcher of the Giants, is making the same fine start as he did a year ago. Jesse won six out of seven games for McGraw last spring before Uncle Sam drafted him. Jesse has won his first three games for New York this spring. He was pounded hard in his first victory, but since has twirled three rat ting contests. The Giants are making 1t pretty soft for Jesse. They have averaged ten runs game for him. In three games he has received 10, 14 and runs respectively.

The Knights of Columbus have made a splendid arrangement to keep visiting doughboys and gobs in formed as. to whether or not games will be played on the Polo Grounds in New York. During the numerous postpcnements this spring it has been noticed that frequently SC ldiers and sailors have made the long ride to the Polo Grounds only to find there was no game. The Knights of Columbus hut at 46th street and Broadway will daily hang out sign Game Today or NO Game" as the case may be. As soon as a game is called off by the Giants or Yankees they immediately will notify the K. of c. hut so that the NO Game" sign may be displayed

Cy Williams, the lean Philadelphia slugger, is getting a good start in the race for home run honors in the Ma tional League. Long Cy already has three of the circuit waIIops to his credit. He hit home runs in Phila- deIphia, at the Polo Grounds and on Ebbets Field. Larry Doyle of the Giants has two circuit smashes. one of which was made in the opening game in Philly and the other on the Polo Grounds last Tuesday.

Scott Perry, crack pitcher of the
 Athletics, still is waiting for his
 first victory of the season. Nothing is breaking right for this former ''bone of contention' between the National and American Leagues. He started off by losing a 1 to 0 game to Walter Johnson of the Washing tons in 3 innings. In his next game the Yankees beat him, to ?, in 1 3 innings when perfect support would have given him a to victory. Perry got into another game in Washington in which the defeat was plastered on another pitcher. Last Tuesday he held the Tanks to one run in seven innings. but Kinsley, a youngster who finished the game, got credit for the Athletic victory.

Judging from the play of the Chicago White Sox they are will ing to let the 1918 season be for gotten. The Sox are starting in this spring as though they in- tend to regain their worlds championship laureIs of 1917. The Sox crashed So badly last year, Seven before they lost Col lins. Jackson and some of their leading stars, that many critics believed the team was disinteg- rating and needed building up. But evidently the palild Sox need to be reckoned with. They are getting good pitching; in addi- ton Joe Jackson is hitting as he did in 1911, when he finished with a rating of .40S. More power to Kid Gleason!

All the chatter that Rabbit Maran- vile and Charley Herzog have spilled around the Boston National infield this spring may be termed useless energy as it has netted nothing in actual results. The, Braves started four days ahead of the rest of the field and still have that same old nought in their games won column. Boston's games lost table now shows nine defeats. Still one must give credit to a tan-end team for keeping its head up and trying to make it in teresting for the spectators.
