Boxing Association
 Needed In Country

Once more the need for a national boxing association in this country has been accentuated. It develops that when Mike O'Dowd lost the verdict in Boston to Johnny Wilson the lat ter weighed 160 pounds. If there was any sort of control over boxing the announcement of this weight would have been accompanied by an an- nouncement that since Wilson was above the middleweight limit the ti- tie would not be at stake.
 However, since there is no con- trolling organization and since O'Dowd heard the announcement from the ring that the fight was for middleWeight champion without en- tering a demurrer the former title holders contention that legally he still is the champion will not hold water.
 Wilson says he will be only too glad to give O'Dowd another chance and there should be no mistakes in the return battle.

GRADED HANDICAPS
 TESTED AT PIMLICO EVENTS YESTERDAY

Baltimore, May 15 - The Pimlico Graded Handicaps, a series of three tests, each at six furlongs, in which the horses were grouped according to their class, provided an interesting feature at the old Hilltop yesterday afternoon and came fully up to the expectations of those who were re- sponsible for the idea. The races were the closing events on the program and were won by St. Quentin, Ralco and Glen Light.
 The graded handicaps were design ed to provide a fair chance for horses which have been unable to show their merit even with light impostss when sent against the first class performers. It was the idea of the Maryland Jockey Club handicapper who intro duced the novelty that many of the horses which go to the post with very light imposts as the result of the high class of horses opposed to them, are in a measure handicapped by the fact that the light weight calls for an in- then, to group the horses in three classes, A, B. and c, and then assign weights to the horses in each class in dependent of the other- classes. In that way the poorer performers would meet their kind and could carry high | enough weights so that the better class of riders could have the mounts.

College Golfers Are
 Coming Back Again

For some unaccountab1e reason golf in college circles took a decided slump along about 1911 or 1912 either because there were fewer can didates for the college teams or be- cause there were fewer men in the college ranks possessed of the abil- ity to make their play stand out in circles outside of intercollegiate play. But now there is a new lease of life
 Golfers of the stamp of Robert T. Jones, Jr., Perry Adair, J. Simpson Dean and a few others have come to the fore to help put college golf back in the rank of t-Who's Who besides which there never has been a time when so many colleges and universities have expressed the in tention of getting together teams as has been true of this season.
 Moreover, the number of candi- dates for these teams have proved a pleasant surprise to captains and mana gers. Take Harvard: When the call was issued for the varsity team there were sixty responses, not to mention that fifteen came out for the sfreshman team. That probably was an exceptional number as compared with colleges in general, but some of the others have not been far be- hind.

 The Paumonok Handicap for three year o1ds and upward at six furlongs is the feature of the programme. It has an added value of $5,000, and in quest of this prize a dozen real good horses are named to go to the post

Bristol, R.

In twenty five knot wind and rough water she scudded, with her lee rail awash, out into Narragansett Bay, around Hog Island and back.

 It was learned that a new club topsai1 for the ResoIute was almost completed. It is narrow, but lofty the new yard to which it will be at tached rising about one-third higher than that now on the sloop-

BROOKLYN WINS EXTENDED GAME
 FROM ST. LOUIS

St. Louis, May 15-If the Brooklyn Dodgers persist in their habit Of playing extra inning baseball games they will have played out their sched- uIe before the sizzling July has skid ded across the calendar-that is. they will have played TT games worth of innings at least. It was generally supposed the Robins had contributed all the overtime work they intended to for one season, but here yesterday afternoon they perpetrated another of those things. They carried the lowIy St. Louis Cardinals along for 14 full innings, finally winning by a score of to 1.
 If it were only possible to advertise these lawn fetes in advance, no doubt a big crowd would have been in at- tendance, but, as it was, only few of the faithful. or those who didn' t have any more pressing engagements were witnesses to the rumpus. The game started out mildly enough with each team scoring a run in the fourth inning. But thereafter. as the rivals battIed through round after round, with Marvin Goodwin and Burleigh
 Grimes pitching dramatically sealed baseball; it was apparent that the un- usual was afoot.
 It was a real pitchers battle, with both hurlers holding their own until the fateful fourteenth, when Goodwin finally weakened after two were out 1 Then things began to happen, and when the riot was all over and all , hands afforded an opportunity to check up, it was found that four hits coupled with three errors. had com
