JACK BRITT0N DEFEATS DAVE
 PALITz EASILY

Hartford, March Slack Britton, welterweight champion of the world, defeated Dave. Palitz of this city, last night in fast 0 round bout. Britton had the better of the bout in prac- ticaIly every round, but Palitz put up a wonderful fight in the face Of strong opposition. In the Semi-fnal, Joe Lynch of New York, defeated Sammy Waltz of Hartford in a sensational 10 round battle. Superior knowledge of the game stood Lynch well, as Waltz forced the fighting throughout the bout In the bout between Young Chaney of Baltimore and Georgie Brown of New York, Clancy scored a knockout in the fourth round of a scheduled 10 round fight.
 Terry Lee of Bridgeport, refereed the main bout, and George Mullisan the prelinlinar:es. The largest crowd that has attended a bout in this city in nearly 20 years was in attendance, over 5000 being in the hall, and near ly 1,50O being turned away.

YALE CAPTAIN
 BEST SHOT IN
 COLLEGE FIvES

New York, Mar. 9.-Once again Captain Van Slyck. of the Yale bas- ket ball team, assumes the lead in the keen rivalry this season for the honor of being the leading scorer in the intercollegiate league. After trailing Sweeny, the veteran Pennsyl- vania forward, last week by one poin Van Slyck returns to the top place with a total point score of 117, four more than Sweeny. Pennsylvania has still two games to play, however, and Yale only one more, which would indicate that Sweeny has an excellent chance of again overhauling Van Slyck and taking the first place for the season.
 As a result of the high scoring ot this winter, interest now centers on the possibility of either Sweeney or Van Slyck establishing a new indi- viduaI record. Kinney, the former Yale star, holds the high mark, ac- cording to the records which have been kept accurately only since 1906. Kinney caged forty-three field goals and A from fouls for a total of 13O points during the season of 1916.17. The best previous record was 12S points, made by Kinney in 1915-16 and by Sisson of Dartmouth in 1911- 12. Van Slyck has thirteen points to make in Yale's remaining game to equal Kinney's mark, while Sweeny has better opportunities, needing only seventeen points in two games.
 Only four games remain to be played, but since Penn has definitely clinched the title, chief interest lies in the fight between Princeton and Yale for second place. Columbia will play at Ithaca tonight, Penn will meet Yale at New Haven on "Wednesday and the week will be rounded out by the Princeton-Penn contest at Phil adelphia on Saturday. The final game will be played March 19 al Hanover between Princeton and Dart mouth.

Jackson Does Well
 Tn Beating Dundee
Gives Johnny An Awful Trouncng But Is Unable to Put Over Knockout Punch Tn Exciting Bout In
 Jersey City

New York, March 9-Displaying one of the most vicious attacks a light weight has shown in this neck Of the pugilistic woods this season, Willie Jackson outpointed Johnny Dundee by a wide margin in their eight round bout at The Arena, in the Fourth Regiment Armory, Jersey City, last night Jackson had the better of all but the fourth and eighth rounds. The fourth belong ed to Dundee and the eighth was even.
 In all the other rounds Jackson led by a goodly edge. He cufed, hooked and jabbed Dundee until the latter was compelled to fight on the de- fensive most of the time. Seldom in his long ring career has the little west side Italian been treated to such rough treatment as he received from Jackson last night Jackson strove hard to duplicate his feat of three years ago and knock out Dundee. With this uppermost in his mind he threw caution to the winds and kept crowding Dundee around the ring.
 Dundee resorted to every trick oi the trade he knew-and he knows a few-ibut to no avail. Jackson re- fused to be stopped. He refused te stand off and box with his willy op- ponent. Jackson preferred to wade in close and swap punches. In these exchanges at close quarters Dundee was worsted. In the sixth and sev- enth rounds he was forced to clinch and hold to save himself from fur ther punishment.
 Dundee saw in this bout another opportunity to erase the knockout of Jackson three years ago. Five times since this humiliation was forced up- on him, the fiery little Italian has sought to return the compliment.
 Evidently the followers of boxing scented a supreme effort last night, Dundee to even the score, and Jack son to demonstrate that his victory of three years ago was no flue. As a consequence, the Fourth Regiment Armory was packed when the two boxers entered the ringn. DUndee's admirers were in the majority, if one were to judge by the volume of noise i! let loose when the Italian was intro duced. And as the bout progressed ev. cry occasion where Dundee appeared favorably was cheered vociferously 1 Jackson, however. was not lacking il supporters, for his powerful righ hand which is a dread of boxers, i appreciated by the followers of tn 1 sport.
 The bout inaugurated a lightweight elimination series which is expected | to produce an opponent for Benn. | Leonard the champion. Lew Tend l Ter, Philadelphia contendtr; Richi | Mitchell of Milwaukee recent con | queror of Lew Edwards, Australia 1 champion, and Charlie White, a Chi l cago lightweight, are under contrac 1 to appear at the Arena.

George Sisler, one of the greatest of American referees, who judged the bett-Fitzsimmons fight and many other great ones used to tell a funny story about Jack King, one of the greatest heavyweight false alarms that ever lived, but who nevertheless thought he was wrought in the championship mold. Here is Jacks alibi for his quick defeat by Jim Hall, the famous Australian heavy, in the fall of 1901 at a show arranged by Parsons Davies in Chicago:
 Sisler tells the story this way:
 Davies was looking about for a pair of ordinary heavyweight pugs, each to stay four rounds with the clever Australian. When King heard of it he hunted up the Parson and offered to be one of the opponents of Hall. This was the chance King had been looking for and, after being booked, he called on me and said: George, you of all others have doubts as to my ability as a fighter. Today ar ranged to go OF with Jim Hall, who you will admit, is a pretty good man. but I'll show him few tricks of the game he never will forget, and I want you to be there to see how it is done.'"
 OdCA, nOWeNeT, 1n1OHIa me that he would not go on with Hall, unless he (HaT) agreed to let him stay the limit, which Davies had tip ped off to me. On the night of the fight I sauntered into Kings dressing room, and, just to feel him out, said: fT hear Hall is going to knock you out'
 "tWhat,S knock me out?' King re- ] torted in surprise. Well if that's the l case, then I'll have to swing my right on him!'"
 Jacks exhibition in the ring was 1 pitiful.

.MeuSel Looks Like
 Star For Yankees Big Californian Hits Ball Hard and Does Sensational Work In Fielding Position When Placed at Third
 Ease In First Practice

Jacksonville, Fla, March 9-"He catches a fly ball like Joe Wilhoit; he handles a grounder like Arthur Devlin and he hits like Hans Wagner" was the way a veteran ball player summed up the first appearance of Bob Meusel. the Yankees much tout. ed "Gnd'' from the Pacific Coast, yes terday.
 And that's about it. Bob is no won- der in the outfield, especially in going back after a ball, but ir the infield, at the bat and at throwing, oh boyi He covers a mile of ground-he can stand on third and land in the vi cinity of second in one spring - and his big hands scoop up the hottest grounders with ease. He has a neat underhand toss to second and a sweet overland fling to first. And at the bat, the left field bleachers at the Polo Grounds will be bombarded by many Meuse1-propel1ed pellet this year, unless all signs fail. He is a fine, free swinger. and like Wagner seems able to hit the ball hard no matter at what angle it comes over the plate.
 The initial appearance of Meusel and the announcement that practice games will begin today featured the
 Tanks work yesterday.
 Truck" Hannah was out for the first time, too, and he looks much lighter than in previous years. Tn fact, he offered to bet a, suit of clothes he wouldn't tip the beam at ITS or
 over. He did a lot of fly chasing, but
 no throwing.
 Meusel may have been bothered by | the sun when Huggins batted flies tc i him in right field, but the fact re : mains that his showing in going after l the towering ones was not impressive l He seemed to get tangled up, but per 1 haps this was because of the strange
 ness of the ground or because it is hi first workout. There was no suggestion 1 of strangeness Or rawness when he es ayed to hold down third, however. H
 acted like a third sacker to the man | ner- born.
