Willie. Jackson To Meet Charley White New Yorker Being Groomed Tackle Benny Leonard If He Disposes of White, Who Is Tough Veteran
 Of Many Battles

New York, March 10-WiThe Jack son is now getting just Itt1e bit closer to the spot where he will be in a position to make overtures to Benny Leonard to defend his well known crown Jackson has improved con- siderably and just now looms up as one of the niftiest lightweight battlers on the horizon. In all probability Jackson will be matched today to fight Charley White, the Chicago mar vel, at the next show of the Arena A. c.
 White is one of the most dangerous 1ightweights in the game and for that reason must be considered when the discussion revolves upon a genuine rival to Leonard. The Chicago lad came within an ace of being worlds lightweight champion on two occa- sions when he fought Willie Ritchie and Freddie Welsh. For few years he laid off boxing while instruc cting in the army but has returned to his old game and has been going like a house afire in the West.
 E White was tentatively matched to meet the best opponent Promoter DriscoII could select. Now that Jack son made such a marvellous showing S against Dundee he is the best looking drawing card. Again victory over White would boost Jackson's cham pionship aspirations to the sky. White will leave Chicago within the next few days and prepare for his battle with his opponent, which will probably be Willie Jackson.

 Contest of the Year

New Haven, March 10-The final game of the season for the Yale Un- versity basketball team is scheduled for this evening in the gym against the champion. Penn five.
 Even though the Philad efphfa quintet has won the title, there is fever heat interest in the game to- night because of the fact that Capt DeForest Van Slyck of the Blue team has a good chance to retain the indi- viduaH scoring honors of the league At the present time the Blue 1eadet is leading his nearest rival, Sweeney of Penn, by four points, having a total of 117 to his credit.
 This will be Van Slyck's final ap- pearance, whereas the Penn man will have still another game in which to score, that being against Princeton. Unless Van S1ycI< shows a wonderful burst of speed this evening.

PADDOCK AND
 LEWIS BOUT IS
 CRUDCE MATCH

New York, Mar. 1o.-When Strang- Ter Lewis and Earl Caddock. the for mer worlds wrestling champion meet on the mat next Monday night at Madison Square Garden there will en- sue a clash between two men who will settle a grudge of several years standing. Only once have Caddock and Lewis met and that was two years ago in Des Moines when Cad dock was wearing the doughpoy's uni form at Camp Dodge.
 They tugged away in a two-hour match and at the finish Caddock received the decision on points. Lewis bitterly deounced the referees yer diet but that protest did not change the result A few weeks later Lewis joined the army and that prevented him from obtaining revenge upon his conqueror.
 When the war was over and both men mustered out Lewis started to get Caddock into a return match. That was impossible, for Caddock had vir- tually retired from the sport.
 It was only after the greatest per suasion that Earl accepted the cha1- lenge Now that he is to meet his former rival Caddock is working hard to improve his great form. Caddock set the huge strength of Lewis, and that in this manner he will overcome 1 his dangerous rival.

BRITISH THINK
 OLYMPIC TEAM
 WILL BE STRONG

London, March 10.-Britain will be able to send team to the Olympic Games in Antwerp in August of which this country may be proud, it is declared by the British Olympic Association in public appeal for the equivalent of approximately $15O,00O to finance the undertak ing.
 ''The time for preparation is short, as it is for all the countries en- gagged" says the statement. FFBut thanks to the magnificent training through which our young manhood has passed in the years of war. we have, in spite of our appalling loss es, rich material upon which to draw if properly developed.
 we have little to guide us as to the measure of our success in com petition with other countries, but we have no doubt of being able to send | a representation of which the country
 may be justly proud, provided the i means of doing so are placed at our i disposal.
 "All that is needed is that we
 should be able to give encouragement
 to every promising athlete, without withdrawing him from his ordinary
 occupation, or doing anything whict could impair the full integrity of hi! | status as an amateur"
 | The king is taking an interest ir | the preparations for the games ant ] has expressed the hope that every eff i fort will be made to ensure that tht l United Kingdom is represented by it
 best athletes. Incidentally, he ba: subscribed one hundred pound! 1 ($500) to the Association funds.

Outdoor Sports In
 Palestine Following
 Arrival of British

Baseball, rugby and track and field sports have gone into Palestine with the British army. Tales of the grow ing pcowess of the Jews in athletics and the extension of activities to all branches of sport were brought back to America by Morris Riv1in, who served in the Palestine campaign under General A11enby, with Com pany 'D," S9th Battalion, Royal Flu siliers of the Jewish Legion.
 More than 10000 youths, he de- clared, have been enrolled in the s.Maccabeans,' an athletic organiza- ton designed to pattern sports after the American model. A picked rugby team of the organization recently de feated a team of expert British sol diers.
 Baseball, introduced by the Ameri- can legionnaires, is growing in favor RivIin says, and track sports are booming to such an extent that min iature Olympic is being planned for a national sports day to be set late ir the summer.
 To further boost interest, American instructors with American ideas o1 athletics are to be sent to the Hebrew university at Jerusalem, which is tC be opened by the Zionist Organization of America.

Dunn Defeats
 Yank Regulars
 Minus Splitter

-asza Jacksonville, Fla, March 1o.---The iYak{kee regulars were beaten yester' day in their first game of the year whtch is a way the Yankee regulars have4 They came to grips with the SAnfgans in a seven-inning game on a fairly warm afternoon, if you sat in the SuErssh inc, andthe second team beat them, 3 to l. The Yanigans, were a trfhe more enthusiastic about the scrap than the regulars, did some good playing, and made several sen- sationaI plays:
 The teams lined up as follows:
 Regulars: Fewster, 3b; Peck, ss; Pipp, lib; Ruth, of; Pratt, 2b; Wick, If; Bodie, If; Rue1, e; Mays and Small wood, p. -e-
 Yanigans: Gaefch, cf., o,Doul, If; Ward,~Sb; Mense1, 1b; Geiser, If; Rice, ss; BierniIier. 3b; Hofmann, c; Quinn and McG9aw. D.
 Gleieh, Ward, Me1sel. and Quinn were strong points in the Yanigan play, not to mention the batting of Lefty OrDou1 and the fielding of the same player. Gleich's fielding and batting were capital and so were Wards, who played a really star game at third. Bob Meusel robbed Babe Ruth of a. base hit by jumping in the air for the Babes second savage liner and Bob was robbed when Peck n1ade Oc1oO. Peck, who has been practicing only three days, was the same great fielder at short.
 Quinn was more effective than Mays. although the latter in the sec ond inning struck out three men In succession with curve which broke over the plate with perfect control The three who wg1iffed were raw re- cruits---Geiser, Rice and Biemiller The upper half of the batting order was not to be fooled that way. Meusel at first played the bag as if to the manner born.
 Quinn during his three innings pitched entirely without the spit ball. He had a fair curve and speed, and the regulars hit poorly at both, his and McGraw's pitching. A twoIbagger by Gleich in the first inning and one by Ward, both liners, gave the Yanigans a. run in the first inning. A wild throw by Brewster started them on the road to two runs in the third. Two were out at the time, but before the third out O'DouI doubled and Ward singled.
 Mays made a two-ibagger to deep centre in the third inning and scored Ruel. who had reached first on a fum- bIe by .Biernil1er Ruth cracked out a right field twoIbagger in the fourth when he was the first man up. He tried for third on a fielder's choice and was tossed out by A1cGraw. The Babe meant business for he hit the dirt with 200 pounds of unrestrained a1Tdor and took off a foot or so of skin from his leg "A cherry already" hs remarked arising.

Matty Tells About
 First Time He Saw
 Babe Ruth Playing

'fI'l1 never forget the first time saw Babe Ruth,'' says Christy Ma thewson. we were coming up from the South some years ago and struck Baltim ore, where we were to play an exhibition game with the Orioles. met Jack Dunn and almost immedt- ately he began to talk to me about a kid named Ruth who was in his squad.
 He told me that some day Ruth would be a great player, and that he would get s10,000 for him. That af- ternoon Ruth pitched against us and did rather well. though he didn't ac- cornplish much with the stick. We had a left handler in the box and the Babe experienced some difficulty in connecting with the ball. At that, he looked proraising, and nobody scoffed at Dunr2'Sz predictions of future great ness for him. 'TIl say that Jack is quite a prophet"

 Manager Of Giants
Former Eastern League Player Impresses McGraw II Practice at Camp Catcher Gonzales Arrives
 at San Antonio

San Antonio, Tex, March 10-Mike Gonzales, the catcher, arrived at the Giants camp from Havana early yes terday. Gonzales said that he had been on the road for six days and had inspected more Southern cities than he knew existed.
 Gonzales came by way of Key West and had the misfortune to be laid up over Sunday in the stirring city of Memphis. The Cuban had no partic- ular explanation for his late arrival, but he is a chronic camp hater. He seems to be in condition and will be ready to take his turn behind the bat in a few days. Mike is needed badly, for there are IT pitchers here and four catchers will be none too many. The arrival of the Cuban completes the squad here.
 The morning practice yesterday was held on field wet from a nights rain, but 1t was a peppery practice | just the same.
 McGraw gathered the fnfie1d about | him and dissected various plays which had come up in the last few days. He l showed some of the men their errors and shortcomings and demonstrated | just how he wanted the ball played 1 The men also got their signals. One of the recruit infie1ders said afterward that he had learned more baseball ir that hour than he had known through seven years of playing the game. MaC 1 is a great professor.

PENN COACH TO MAKE FOOTBALL
 SQUAD BEHAVE

Philadelphia, March 10.-John W. Heisman, coach of the University of Pennsylvania football team, told the associated Pennsylvania clubs at it's recent conference in Wilmington, Del, he was determined to keep foot ball con ditions at the university clean and ship shape.
 'I am in sympathy with the faculty in the matter of college athletics" l" he said. "I believe young men come to college primarily for an education and not to play football or any other game. Therefore, the faculty should mot be criticized if it bars a football star for failing in his studies. I ex- pect every football man to do his college work or quit the team.
 ''I like to win as well as anybody but it must be done fairly and hon. ora1o1y. I teach clean play on the field and when a game is over I want no reflections on the coach of the university. Football is no parlor game and I believe in stern tactics and strict discip1ine.''

Cannot Recover Lap Brocco and Partner
 Gained In Bike Race

New York, March 10.---The remark able feat of the ItaAan-BeIgian team of Brooco and De Ruyter in gaining a lap on the six-day riders in Madison Square Garden at 1e:So o'clock Mon day night proved a magnet that drew a record+breakng crowd into the towns principal hall yesterday, and last night they came all, hoping per haps that the others would try to re- gain the lead that the pair had taken
 At S:20 o'clock last night Oscar Egg tried to break through, and he set such a tremendous pace for ten rnin- utes or more that the teams of Staehle and Webber, the Bowker brothers Byron and Markey, the Kid team, were Eapped. Egg could not overcome the advantage hebd by the popular lap piferers.
 l Egg and aMdden fought fur4ously to make the gain, but the Italian and Belgian riders held on like grim death. The fact that BTocco, always a six day idol, had stolen a march on the 1 greatest bicycle speed demons in the iwor1d, seemed to spread to all parts of the town and they came down upon the old Garden in great waves of hu- Imanity.
 A line of woufd-be tfcke< buyens cir- lcled the Garden waiting for a chance to get in as the e:s0 o'clock sprintl were in order. Every police officer who could be spared for the job was
 there to keep them on the move. In- side, standing room was at a pre-
 miurn. When you see them hanging
 from the girders in the gallery you Hcan depend upon 1t that there is some thing very much doing in Madison Square Garden. It was for all the world like a Saturday night finish o1
 the race.

 NeXf Bout

There is some trouble about that proposed bout between Champion Jack Britton and Louis Bogash, ,sched- uIed for bout in this city next Mon day night. Matchmaker McNab of the Columbus Boys Club said he has Bogash's signed contract calling for the local boxer to receive $1,250 or 25 per cent. of the receipts.
