IREL-AND'S BEST
 BOXER SEEKING
 KILBANE'S TITLE

New York, March 16.---Fred Jacks of Cork, Ireland, claiming the feather weight championship title of Europe, is the latest foreign boxer to seek honors and gold in this country. Jacks arrived here last Saturday on the Mauretania in search of a bout against Johnny Ki1bane, worlds cham pion. The Irish boxer is under the management of George Mcdonald, veteran English handler of fighters who is now seeking matches for the new arrival It is probable Jacks and Jack BlumenfeEd. English middle weight, will make their initial Ameri- can appearance in a Jersey City ring within few weeks
 Jacks has been boxing abroad for more than seven years, and in that time has compiled a, creditable rec
 ord, according to Manager MdDon-
 aid. So confident is the English man ager of his protege's ability that he is willing to back Jacks to the extent of S, 800 in a bout against KiLbane either in this country or England. i Jacks claims the distinction of beins the only boxer to knock out Fancy Lee. a feat Jacks says he accom- | plished in eleven rounds a year ago. Jacks and Blum enfield will soon take up headquarters at Rye, N. Y. where
 Manager Mcdonald plans to open a
 training camp, where these boxers and others who are expected to follow them across the ocean. may engage in daily workouts in preparation for their l American bouts.

RECRUITS ARE
 BEING CANNED
 IN MAJORS NOW

New York, March 16.-With the exception of the Chicago White Sox, which club did not start for it's train ing camp until last week, all of the big league teams have been putting in some hard work in the sometimes Sunny South. They have been iron ing the Winter. kinks out of pitch ing arms, unlimbering fielding mus cels and polishing up batting lamps for a sufficient length of time to af- ford the different managers a pretty good line on the general quality of the baseball material at their dis posa1.
 Of course, it is still much too early for permanent berths to have been awarded; for the crop of recruits to have been weighed in the balance and appraised at their true value, but the bosses have seen enough to know whether or not they are entitled to cultivate pennant hopes. As is usual at this season of the year the young Ty Cobbs, Walter Johnsons and Eddie Collins have been cutting a wide swath. Scarcely a day passes that some new 'tphenom'' is not discovered lurking in the tall brush of a train ing camp - a prospect brimful of promise, and fairly bubfb1ing over with ability. A little later only a few of these will remain, and those who do stick for the exhibition trips northward Or until after the real | campaigns on the big league dia- monds begin will undoubtedly shine with diminished lustre.
 It is just before the regulars begin l to loosen up that the rockies glow with dazzling brilliance. Experience has taught the veterans that the surest way of attaining the best and most lasting physical condition to tide l them over a long grind through a | schedule of 154 games is to take 1 things easy at the start. To do their unlimbering gradually and not to strain their muscles by showing all
 their stuff the first day the sun shines 1 with real warmth. They are content
 to plod along while Ehe rockies are
 out there revealing all their wares
 upon the slightest provocation. ~.
 The veterans now are beginning to
 come into their own. They have been
 taking their training :n small doses
 and now are prepared to show
 whether they have skidded back
 along the trail too far to be o1 further value in the big show or not
 The managers have been patiently waiting for the vets to get fit before passing judgment, but the day ot
 final accounting is not far distant
 and the Order of the Tin Can vii
 claim it's annual toll of new mem | H0arS

WinstOn-SaIem Plans
 Holiday to Welcome
 Shore of N. Y. Tanks

Jacksonville, Fla, Mar. 16.--W L. Dull, a newspaperman, of Winston Salem, N. C., spent. several days at Jacksonville, last week getting the color effect of the Yankees and Dod- gers. Winston+Salem's leading citi- zens have planned the biggest blow out of the towns history by way of greeting to the New York and Brook lyn teams when they play there April 8.
 ston- Salem, so close that the towns folk consider him a native son. The occasion, known as Shore Day, will honor the elongated mariner particu- larly. The Mayor of the city has de- cIared a half holiday, while two neigh boring counties have declared holi- days.
 The visitors are to be entertained in the most royal fashion. For the first time in history the Reynolds to- bacco factory will completely shut down, affording 16,00O employees an opportunity to see major league baseball contest.
 The Yankee players take no pains to conceal their disappointment over the fact that Duffy Lewis is still among the missing. They realize
 that Duffy will find it harder than ever to reduce, and are anxious for him to be fixed for the opening of the cham pionship race. The Hugmen are not overeonfident, but they realize it is within their power to qualify for the next worlds series if each player hus- ties as he should.

Lewis Beat CaddOCk 5
 Too Soon For Fans
Crowd Did Not Realize What Had Happened and Defeat
 s< ed eWrestler's Manager Protested -Londos Sefg Wins From Cheyalier

New York, March 16-Ed tStran- gIer" Lewis and Jfh Londos scored victories in the wrestling double header in Madison Square Garden last night. Lewis won with a head hold and hipIock in l hour 35 minutes and 45 seconds. Londos conquered Cheva- Her in 36 minutes and 22 seconds with a body scissors and double wristlock.
 Lewis downed Caddock with sur prising audiences after Earl had given him a terrific battle for >supre macy Few. realized that Caddock had lost, especially Gene Melady, his manager who sat in Caddocks corner. He protested to Bothner but Caddock very promptly put an end to all arguments by advising his manager to accept referees decision grace fully.
 It was practically flying fall and perhaps it was because of this that SC few realized that Caddock had been downed So suddenly had the end come that hardly a man saw Bothner tap Lewis on the back.
 When they arose and shook hands most of the spectators thought that they were about to resume the srug- gle.
 Hardly a cheer went up as Lewis sfrutted out of the ring a winner
 Immediately after leaving the ring SCaddock called for doctor and 1t was ascertained that the left end of his collarbone had been broken. Cad dock said he. realized that he was done. as soon as he hit the floor. |. Lewis got a head hold after twenty minutes of fast foot work, but ii couldn't have been the journeyman wind, for Earl pulled his head out with a pop like a, cork leaving a. giant bottle. Lewis got the hold again al half an hour, and this time Lewis clung like pine pitch to NaVaJG blanket. He is no gentle person when he has the head hold hooked on. Caddock is like an eel in any predicament, however, and after suf- fering it for five minutes he suddenly gripped an arm lock on Lewis, an6 instead of holding Caddock at his mercy, it was Lewis who suddenly bordered on defeat.
 It was a brilliant bit of quick work and in order to save himself LewiI had to let his head hold go. They were up like stags and fighting fur ious1y for telling lock. Going afte1 that famous head hold of his at the half hour, Lewis just did escape z fall. He had Caddock held in | grim lock when Earl, while still held managed somehow to get his favorit' arm hold again.
 Inch by inch he rolled Lewis ovel until his shoulders neared the floor l Bothner was on the floor besid
 them, hand raised ready to slap Cad
 dock on the back when Lewis, by 1 tremendous 1unge-a lunge that Both ner tucked in the nick of time | broke the hold.

MIKE O'DOWD TO TACKLE RATNER
 ON WED. NIGHT

New York, March 16. Mike O'Dowd, worlds midd1eweight cham pion, will celebrate St. Patrick's Day with a ten-round embrog1io with Augie Rather in St!s Paul Mike beat Augie in Newark last November and should repeat the trick. O'Dowd has scored five knockouts in the last fort night and will try to make a sixth victim of Rather. Augie, however, ap- parently is too tough a nut for Mike to stop in ten rounds
 Of all the title holders in the box ing world, none are making as big a hit with the ptrons of the sport as is Mike O'Dowd, the middleweight champion who is making his home in Brooklyn. Mike has embarked on a knockout rampage. Out of his last eight fights he has landed the hay maker five times and judging by the number of bouts Mike is engaging in and has booked for the future, sev- eral more knockouts are sure to be added to the champions record. O,Dowd does little staIling. When he steps into the ring he is full of 1 fight. This was exceptionally well l illustrated in his recent fight in PhiIa- | delphia, in which he punched the day l lights out of Jack McCarr6n. Mike 1 O'Dowd's latest victim was Tommy | Madden of Brooklyn, who was sent l into dream1and last Saturday in the
 third round of their bout in Den yer.

'TRAVERS BEATS
 BARRON IN FAST BOUT AT SMOKER
(By Les L1ev.)

In one of the fastest four round bouts ever. seen in this city Mickey Travers of New Haven, defeated Jim my F'arren of Boston in the star bout of Billy Hogan's smoker last night at the Armory A A. This bout was in terrupted three times. Twice on alleg- ed low hitting on the part of Travers and once when the referee had to tie Farren's glove. Young O'Leary and Young Mack of Hartford, renewed their grudge of last week when they met last night. This bout was T great deal faster than the last time they fought. Referee Parker called this mix-up a draw. This was good decision. Packie Hannon re- ceived the verdict over Jack Connolly, another New Havener, in the third bout of the evening". Tommy Shear of Bridgeport, received an unfair de- cision over George Proto of the Eln City in a fast bout. The New Ha- ven boy led the fighting at all times and had Shea in an awful fix several times during the bout. Jim Bones and Young Clancy boxed four funny rounds to a draw.
 When Farren appeared in the ring last night he was twenty pounds overweight. He was fat and out of shape. In the first round A11chet nlC Farren in the groin and the Boston boy could barely reach his corner Farren did not sit down once during the one minute rest period. Jimmy started off well but after he was hit low he could not. do much. Travers hit low three times and was repeat edly warned by the referee. Farren did good work in the second and 1ass rounds.
 The Young O'Leary and Young Mack scrap was a hundred times better than last week. Both boys were fighting hard at all times. There was hardly any holding at all. Mack opened Lear,y's bad eye and when it was bleed ing he. went after it all the time. Leary exceIIed at the ja7Obing game and his infighting got him lot of ap- plause.
 Jack Connolly, a returned soldier gave Packie Hannon of Bridgeport a good argument for three rounds but Hannon's terrific blows in the fourth round earned him the decision.
 George Proto was robbed of a de- cision over Tommy Shea in the sec ond bout of the smoker. The crowd was with Proto who fought every minute of the four rounds. Shea was badly damaged but he lsSted the four rounds ,rs..r q .-

NEW PARKS TO
 BE BUILT FOR EASTERN TEAMS

New parks have been promised the baseball fans of Waterbury and New Haven sfor this season although the club owners must hustle to get. them finished before the bell rings for the opening of the season.
 It is apparent that the moguls of this quintet of Eastern League clubs are banking on a prosperous season on the way. The building of the new park will mean the outlay of much
 money inS New Haven, while the change of home for the Waterbury Club will also mean the spending of quite a bit ofa the filthy lucre, al- though the site for these grounds Is owned at present by the men who have the Waterbury franchise in their possession Senator Charles A. Tenn pleton and Frank Becton. The re- pairs at Hartford and Springfield will be confined to improving the cond1- ton of the present fences that sur round these two parks and the grand stand and bleachers within these fences. but the new Albany mag mates, Michael J. Hawkins and Charles A. Hilton, will be forced to dc quite a bit of work before the old State League grounds in Rennsaelae1 will be ready for the seasons ac-
 tivities.
 The two new ball parks will be
 better located for the comfort of the fans than the ones they will replace In New Haven, in past seasons, i
 was necessary for the followers of thu l WIeissmen to travel either to Light house Point or Savin Rock in order to see their team perform, while th' new park will be situated nearer th'
 center of the city, just on the out
 skirts of Hampden.
 The park, it is estimated, will cos l something like $100, 900, taking in thu cost of the property and everything The grandstand will be constructet by a well-known builder, the sam gent who supervised the erection o the stands on the Yale Field. Owne l Weiss is confident that he will vii 1 the pennant this season and, as a re l suit is going to plan to accommo | date more fans at his new ball park | This is also the case with Water 1 bury, which expects a winning team and it is probable that the seatint i capacity of the eight Eastern Leagu | parks will total 35,0 900 persons.

YANKEES PLAY
 DUMB BALL LN
 LOSING TO REDS

Miami, Fla, March 16.---The Yan- kees yesterday lost their second spring inter-league game when the Cincin- nati champions beat them to l. The Yankees dropped down from Jackson vile to engage the Cincinnati Reds three games, and got away on the wrong foot just as they did in the Brooklyn series. They struck a cool, windy day, but played to a crowd which filled the small grand stand, crowd made up mostly of people from up their way. They had plenty of rooters, but their rooters weren't quite so blatant about it as those shouting the other way.
 Neither side could hit much against pdtching of distinct merit. The batters weren't tuned up to such pitching. Yet a base on balls off Herbert Thor mahlens forced in run and was one of the things that beat the Yankees. Another thing was tumble by Peck inpaugh, coupled with one by Ruel- These misplays at critical times sent the National League champions away in the lead, notwithstanding the Yan- lzees outbatted them six hits to three
 The only real hitter in the crowd was Ping Bodie who pounded what ever was sent up. He revelled in one triple and two singles and died at the plate trying to stretch his triple into a home run. Ping wasn't enough of a runner for that, although he drove the ball to the left field fence
 Huggins persisted in tactics in the first half of the game which were hard to fathofn He ordered attempts to steal second either with none out or only one out, and over base paths which were soft in sand, and, conse- auently footing which shackled the runners. In addition, two Yankee tourists were caught off first The offering program of the New Workers, therefore, was bad in execution and seemed to be bad in concentration.
 Carl Mays pitched fine ball against the Reds. They p-~70 one hit in five innings off the underhand maestro and one man reached first off him ir those five innings. Jimmy Ring was just about as good, but didn't have the f1awIess control of Mays. He had coolness though, and was helped by the Yankees misguided base running campaign. Thormahlen was not hit . table, but lacked control, and com pounded trouble by giving three O. his bases on balls in one inning.
 Lucue, the chunky Cuban, was yer! fast and kept the hits scattered. Rue1 besides his costly error, struck ou twice with men on bases and Vicl once The Yankees messed things good deal in pinches. They've beer doing that this spring.
 Pratt had a sore heel and Ware played third and Fewster second. Tn change didn't weaken the Tanks an. that anybody could notice. Var played a smart game at third. an, Fewster did likewise at second. Ther was more ginger in the New York in field with changes than in any pre- vious games this season. and certainl Fewster covers ground at second bet ter than Pratt is doing at present.

WILDE CANNOT
 FIND ANY NEW
 FOES TO DEFEAT

New York, March 16.-In adding Frankie Mason to his list of Ameri- can victims, Jimmy Wilde, the re- markabIe British flyweight boxer, has about exhausted the available crop of formidable boxers of his own class in this country. If Wilde's supremacy was ever questioned the doubt was rem owed with his latest triumph True, the result might have been more decisive - Wilde could have more thoroughly demonstrated his superiority by knocking Mason out but the unanimity of the unofficial decisions favoring the little Briton in dicates the amplitude of the margin by which Wilde won.
 Wilde, today, stands alone in the rings 1ightest division. He is far more .formidable than any other fly weight, of the day, and possibly could progress through the ranks of ban tamweights without endangering his reputation seriously. The slim little Briton would be compelled to con- . cede considerable weight if he went in quest of the bantanwefght title, but he is used to handicaps in the matter of avoirdupois.
 A logical match now would be a | return engagement between Wilde and Jack Sharkey, the little west 1 slider who gained a verdict over the visitor in Wildes initial American ap- pearance. Such a bout, preferably ir the East, would hold particular at ! traction for followers of the sport 1 and at the same time would afford | Wilde an opportunity to erase a blot 1 on his escutch con.
 Wt1lde's string of victories since hi: 1 memorable battle against SharkeJ
 has led most critics to doubt verJ
 strongly whether Sharkey could re peat. A comparison of the two
 boxers favors Wilde, with his unre, | 1enting, tireless. attack, his cleverness
 free, heavy hitting, speed and agility
 and his remarkably effective defense
 Sharkey is a. willing, aggressive, an(
 a heavy-hitting bantamweight, but ii
 not to be compared with Wilde il science.
