feated Princeton in the last of the

Ardnore Boxing
Gard Looks Best
Held to Date

In the next boxing show which
will be staged by the Maryland Ath-
letic. Club. on March %, at Ardmore,
Maryland, some of the best bouts
of the season have been booked un-
der the direction of Manager kid"
Sullivan.
The final ten-round mill will
bring together Young Bowen, for
merly of New Castle. Pa, and
frankie Rice. of Baltimore. Bowen
has put forth some wonderful fight
ing on two previous occasions at
the Maryland club, and it is expect
ed that he will repeat. and Rice
who claims the feather weight
championship of the South, posses
ses many fine qualities.
In addition to the final ten-round
bout. Sullivan has succeeded in
bringing Chick Holbrook, bantam
champion of the District, and Young
Rice, of New York, together over a
siX-round journey.
Kid Fowler. the 121-pounder OF
Walter Reed. and Kid Davis, of the
Steel plant, will open the show
with four rounds OF nit mixing.
while Young Ray, one of Tommy
loves lads. is slated for six rounds
with Kid Stowell.
In another battle one of Frankie
Mann's light-weights. will be seen
in action against Kid Shuman. of
Walter Reed. In this fight some
fast in-fighting, mixed with hard
wallors, is looked for during their
six rounds.
Manager Sullivan has succeeded
in providing for excellent car serv-
ice for the transportation of the
fight fans to and from the club.

Court Title for
Local Clubs is
Still in a MAKE

AS Is usually the case when teams
are not organized into a league,
there is grand mixup over Dis
trict Independent basketball hon
ors. and the season Is likely to
close w/Iout an accurate decision,
as to N/lich Is the better quint. On
their <wn courts, the Yankees, Peck,
Epiphany and Aloysius, the logical
contenders, are practically unbeat-
able. All of these quints have won
from the others on their own court
and the only way to decided the
issue is that a series be played in a
neutral gym" to decide the cham
pionship. 1t is not likely that such
a series can be arranged for SO
late in the season.
Manager Haller. OF Peck Stars,
has issued a statement in reference
to the controversy for a third game
with the Yankees, which is as fol-
lows:
$50 much comment has been
caused by the early closing of our
season, We feel that in justice to
the team an explanation Is due our
friends and followers.
I'VE wish to state that while our
schedule originally comprised about
twenty-five games. cancellations by
the War Department, Linworth Ath-
letic Club, Fort Myer and others.
and the failure of several others to
give US return games on our own
floor, brought our total down to
sixteen games.
"Our failure to play off the tie with
the Y. NJ c. A Yankees was no fault
of ours, as Manager Bratburd and
the writer agreed to play same at
Carroll Institute Hall, but on his
failure to accept the only date on
which we could secure the floor.
the hall was lost for the purpose. To
insure the playing off of the con-
test we offered to use their floor
for the purpose, but we have had
no acceptance of the offer at this
time. II. S. HALLER,
Mgr. Peck Stars Basket ball"

Neuer
Gets Credit for
Dethroning King

A new champion seldom receives
credit for beating an old title-hold-
er. No sooner is the dethroned king
restored to consciousness of his drab
existence than the raucous whine
arises: He was an old 'has-been"
Whom did he ever lick?"
But the truth of the matter is he
could have whipped any other man
in the world but the one who
snatched his laurels from him.
They said John L. Sullivan was
"all in" when he faced Corbett at
enough of John l.. to make him a
2-to-1 favorite over the ex-bank
clerk. John remained as such for
many rounds. until the fans finally
realized that the Old Roman was
finally up against it.
James ]. Corbett was the only
champion who ever lost his crown
in the prime of years. James was
27 when Fitzsimmons whipped him
at Carson. Corbett beat John. l..
when he was 22 years old. So he
must have been very near his prime
when Robert the Red capsized him.
Should Carpenter whip Dempsey,
the mildewed wall about the movies
spelling Jack or some other lame
excuse doubtless will be heard. Don't
listen to it. Dempsey is but "a. and
is surely at the crest of his fighting
proficiency.
The "has-been" alibi of beaten
champions rarely holds all of the
water when the facts are carefully
sifted.

Tampa Camp Chatter

Many kids have their idols as ball
players. and 1 hope that some day
Allie Bailey Wat, the Washington
lad who is trying to make a name
for himself with the Washington
club down in Tampa, will find some
other kid who will look upon him
Is he did upon Walter johnson.
When the fans at home gave that
famous Johnson Day at the bail
park. any kid under 16 was admitted
tree. Now Watt. who was a kid
OF just Is then, decided that he
vas going to see his first profess
sional baseball game, and as his
hero was the honored man. he want
ID to show his appreciation by be-
ing on hand to cheer for King Wal
ter. who that day was to pitch
against Detroit.
Young Watt saved up his pennies
until he had a quarter. not for a
ticket. as he was under the age
and would be admitted free. He,
ike other kids who go to games,
wanted his bag or two of peanuts
and pop" so he saved and saved
until he had a young fortune.
He was up bright and early the
day the game was to be played
and was first in line at the free
gate. 1t was at a. m; he had a
long wait. as the gates were not
opened until 1870, but as he was
there with many other kids. he was
content to wait as many hours as
necessary in order to see Walter
pitch.
He had a companion who was a
great booster of Capt. Mcbride, and
the two passed many complimentary
remarks about their favorites. Watt
said TO his new-found friend that
he hoped to be able some day to
get job as bat boy for the great
pitcher-and here he is today. Not
4 bat-boy for Johnson, but actually
playing companion of the clever
twirler.
Perseverance goes a great way
among some people, and Watt was
one of the lucky ones to be select
I'd for a position when he was rec
Dmmended to Griff last spring.
Allie is backing up the speed mer-
ehant with some wonderful fielding.
He has demonstrated that he can
