Peabody Rallies,
Defeats Pearson
For Racquet Title

BOSTON, March 6.--Charles C. Pea
body, Massachusetts champion, to-day
won the national amateur squash rae
quet title, defeating Stanley w. Pear
son, OF Philadelphia, who had held it
tor three years. The score of the match
was 4-1b, lib, 1872, 15--11,
15--11.
The match was one of five in Bos-
on-Philadelphia intercity tournament,
In which Pearson and Peabody were
captains of the opposing teams.
The champions hard hitting brought
him the first set easily, with Peabody,
who has been undefeated this year,
winning only four games. Pearson's
forehand stroking gave him. the second
set, although the Boston player had be-
gun to develop his more conservative
game and pressed the champion more
closely. Peabody squared the match
by winning the third and fourth sets.
The breaks of play helped out where
his place shots failed to count, and
the Philadelphian's slashing strokes
began to weaken his game. Volleys
were long.
In the final set Pearson called on
his resources Of back hand and tried
to score decisive points with corner
shots. But the Boston captain had the
better endurance. He forced his op-
ponent out Of position, and with more
speed to his kills discounted the STRAIT
egy which the champion sought to en-
ploy. n
The other matches were postponed
because the arrival of the Philadel-
phia players was delayed by the bliz-
zard. i

Contest Promises
Plenty of Action

What is expected to be one of the
best fights held at the Arena in JERSEY
City this season will take place to-
morrow night, when Johnny Dundee
and Willie Jackson, both contenders for
the lightweight title, will clash in an
eight-round bout
Jackson jumped into fame when he
knocked out Dundee in the first round
of a six-round bout at Philadelphia a
few years ago. Since then he has met
and held his own with the Lest light
weights in the country, and is out to
duplicate his Philadelphia victory over
Dundee.
On the other hand, Dundee will un-
doubtedly take this opportunity to try
and even matters, so that there should
be plenty of action crammed into the
eight rounds or as many as the fight
ers go.
Jackson is in excellent condition and
has been meeting the best men in his
class regularly. Dundee meanwhile has
done even better. He has engaged
Leonard and other heavier men, and
this may prove to his advantage to-
morrow night. An excellent card Of
preliminaries has been arranged to pre-
cede the main bout.

Bennett Sets Another
Motorcycle Record

BAKERSFIELD, Calf, March g.
Wells Bennett, the Three Films cham
pion canada to Mexico), augmented
his string of motorcycle racing rec
ords for the current year by Clipping
fifteen minutes off the best previous
figures for the Los Angeles Bakersfield
sidecar run. The Excelsior standard
bearer covered the 1875 miles, including
a detour of a mile, in hours 7 min
utes. The former record was held, ,by
Roy Artley.
Bennett averaged approximately 4o1a
miles per hour. which is regarded as
roads and mountain trails, considering
that his gears were sealed in high. Ted
Thurston was the passenger in the spe-
cial torpedo sidecar. Last month Ben
nett broke two records in the Los An
geles hill climb.
