Jack McAuliffe Is
 54 Years Old Today

Jack McAuliffe, who retired from the ring some 24 years ago as the undefeated lightweight champion of the world, was born in Cork, Ireland, 54 years ago today. His great career beginning as a, lad in Brooklyn, where he was employed in a cooper's shop, and where he boxed with fel low-workers,~ is known to most boxing bugs. He fought his way to the top of the lightweight heap remained there years and retired without ever having tasted defeat. McAuliffe be- 1ieves that the boxers of today are not as long on gray matter as were the men he fought. It is the general belief that there has been an improve ment in the mentality of boxers as a class but this opinion is not shared by the former lightweight champion. The science of the boxing game has deteriorated declares McAuliffe since the paImy days of Corbett, Dempsey, Mccoy and other ring artists.
 McAuliffe thinks the boxers of the present time are rushed too rapidly, to the neglect of the finer points of the game. There is a tendency, he declares, to make brute strength and ability to take punishm ent the meas ure Of a boxer Joe Cans and Abe Attelt, he thinks were the best and cleverest of the more recent boxers.

YALE BASEBALL SQUAD LOOMING
 UP VERY WELL

New Haven, Mar. 24.-BiI1y Laud- CT, coach of the Yale baseball team, is working hard every day with a big squad of ball tossers in the cage in the effort to whip a team in shape for the Easter trip. With a wealth of material from which to select a nine Lauder isn't greatly worried over the outcome. While the gage does not afford baseball practice of the most beneficial kind, the work there has put the athletes in fine shape. Indi- cations are that the Yale diamond will be ready for a game by the time the team returns from the South.
 In the cage work the three old varsity pitchers, SeIIeck, Coxe and Robinson, have shown up well while a big youth named } Calhoun, who pitched for the freshmen last year, is a likely youngster.,
 Diamond, Sawyer and Murphy practically have c1inched first, sec ond and short respectively. There are several candidates for third base, the place left vacant through the graduation of Prann of last years championship team. Crane, Gordon, and Faherty, the last two on the 1919 team, will be the regular outfeld, from present indications while the brunt of the back stop work will be done by Peters a star catcher.
 Yale will take eighteen men on the Easter trip, Capt. Sawyer, one of the best fielding second basemen in the realms of college baseball, has shown a marked improvement in meeting the ball in batting practice, and if he continues his good work he should be one of the most valuable players on any team in years.

YANKEES SHOW
 UP BETTER BUT
 BROOKLYN WINS

Jacksonville, Fla, March 24-Four victories for Wilbert Robinson's ging- cry, well-conditioned Brooklyn team
 over the big Yankee machine that is expected to cut such a wide swath
 in the American League this year
 The fourth game, yesterday, was
 another victory for Brooklyn in a
 prettily felded, neatly pitched contest
 that went to the Robins in the last
 half of the ninth on a iuke hit, The score was 1 to 0.
 The Robins showed the same fine
 pitching, the same snappy fielding and the same earnest work at the bat
 that has characterized all of their
 games.
 The Tanks, although defeated,
 showed better than in any game this
 spring in the box and in the field,
 but the hitters were again helpless
 before the Brooklyn hurlers
 Clarence Mitchell, Al Mamaux and George Mohart, the 'tf1nd'' of the year, were the Brooklyn pitchers who went so well. Mitchell yielded one
 hit, Mamaux one and Mohart two. Mamaux was in danger twice in the fourth and in the sixth, when a
 timely hit would have hurt, but
 Frank Gleich, who was in the game
 in sam Vick's place, failed both
 times.
 Bob Shawkey hurled the first five innings for the Tanks, allowing three hits and giving one base on balls. He
 was in a hole in the fourth, when
 two hits, a felder's choice and a pass
 filled the bags with only one out, but
 a pretty play by Bob MeuseI and
 Truck Hannah ~repeHed the Robins
 Meyers hit to Meusel, who threw te the plate, forcing out one runner, and Hannah bluffed a throw to first then turned and cut down young Neis who had rounded third It was a mid summer play, nicely executed The winning run wasn't manufac- tured in any heart -throbbing manner Mohart drew Rip Collins only pass to start the ninth, and took second on Olson's sacrifice.
 Neis flied to Ruth and it looked like extra innings, but Jimmy John ston hoisted a Texas leaguer to cen tre field, and although Ruth made a gallant effort and got one hand on | the ball in a vain effort to make a shoe string catch, the pellet dropped safely and Mohart crossed the plate Roger Peckinpaugh has a lame arm, which necessitated a shift in the | lineup. Ward took Rogers place I and Meusel went to third, thus play ing his first regular game. He field ed prettily and made a nice single on his first appearance at the plate, but in the eighth with Ruth on first he struck out and Babe was doubled | up stealing, ending the last hope of | the YankS.
 Babe Ruth got one safety, a stingef l over second, off Mohart He also
 walked once and his fast grounder on 1 which Olson erred put Pipp on third l and his Baibeship on second in the l fourth, with one out. But Mouse. 1 popped to Koney and G1eich flied to | Wheat.
 1 Collins, although the losing pitcher | looked as good as any of them. He | had any amount of curves and speed and showed unlimited nerve.

 He Seeks New Mer

New York. March 24.---The Ford ham University baseball squad re- stunned it's outdoor practice session yesterday afternoon after a respite of a week due to the muddy condition of the diamond
 At present the infield problem is causing Coach Devlin no little worry. The veterans Lefevre and w.

Cochran, a young ster from Remington High school, and Hector, form erly of Clason Point Academy, have been alternating at the keystone sack and start of Xavier High School, Denaley of F'ordham Prep and J. Mclaughlin of Regis High School are being groomed for short.

Deal for Stock By Giants Will Reunite
 Schupp and McCarty

If Milton Stock should come back to the Giants on the terms now de- manded by Branch Rickey-Heinie Zimmerman and Lew McCarty and S25,000 in cash-the cardinals will have a battery which was in small measure responsible for the winning of the pennant by the Giants in 1917 and which was broken up last year Schupp and McCarty. F'erdie Schupp went, to St Louis last summer as part payment for Frank Synder, and Rick ey believes the Louisville Kid will pull genuine comeback this year. If Schupp has McCarty to handle his delivery next season he no dolbt will turn in brand of pitching much bet ter that anything he has shown since he was in his brief heydey for Me CaTty understands him perfectly and can get more work out of him than any other backstop in the league.

MORLEY, FORMER
 HARTFORD STAR. WON'T COME BACK

The decision of Bill Jennings not to play professional ball this year has deprived Hartford of a capable short stop. Jennings was well known to Eastern League fans in 1913 when he played with Hartford under the name of Morley. He played with Mime apolis last season
 The Hartford Courant says:
 '~The stage was set for a deal with the Minneapolis club of the American Association which would bring Jen- nings back to the locals when Joe Canti1lon, manager of the Mllers, who is an intimate friend of Manager Howley, wrote to the local pilot grant ing him permission to dicker with Jennings in regards to playing here again. As Jennings likewise informed Manager Cantillon that he was through with the game, the Mime apolis pilot was apparently convinced that he had no chance of inducing the old Hartford favorite to report again so he decided to let Howley exercise his persuasive powers know ing that. the local pilot was anxious to land him.
 Had Jennings showed a desire to play it is doubtful whether Cantillon would be willing to part with him as the old Hartford favorite has been recognized by many as the best short stop in the American Association. Mickey Devine, the peppery Pitts field catcher last season who threat ems to break in as a regular with the Red Sox, being a party to that state- ment. Mickey told the writer two years ago after he failed to stick in the American Association that Jen- nings stood head and shoulders over all the shortstops in the association in almost every respect.
 Jack Egan, manager of the Mffwau- kee club of the American Association also told the writer who happened to be a friend of Jennings, that Bill was one classy shortstop and ex- pressed doubt to whether Mime apolis would let him go. -.
 However, Jennings applied the fin ishing touches to the matter yeSter- day. when, in answer to Howley's s second letter, he said that as much as he would like to play for Jim Clarl<in, Manager Howley and the Hartford fans, he was firm in his fn- tention to retire and that it was prac- tically useless to try to induce him to return to the game.

N. Y. State Boxing Law Depends Upon
 Jack Dempsey's Case

Albany, Mar. 24.-Demands will be made by world war veterans in the legislature that Senator Walker amend his boxing bill so Jack Demp- sey will be prevented from boxing in this state until he has been cleared of the charge of being a draft dodger
 Otherwise the bill is likely to be killed in the Assembly, though the sentiment there plainly favors it's passage.
 The Walker bill was advanced to the third reading in the Senate last night and expedited on it's way to final passage. The ex-so1diers, however realized that under it's provisions the Demp Carpenter contest could not be held in this state, and they will meet today to draft the proposed amendment.
 Col. Roosevelt said he would like to see Carpenter make money through bout in this country, but does not want Dempsey to profit until he has cleared himself of the charges.

Ray Is Unbeatable
 For Olympic Sprints

New York, Mar. 24.-Unless Joie Ray takes a big slump between now and the middle of August, he is going to be unbeatable in the Olympic 1,5OO and 5000 meter races, as well as being Americas star in the 5000 meter team race.
 At Buffalo on Saturday night Ray was pitted against Mike Devanny- of the Mil1rose A. c. of this city, and Harold CUtbill, of the Boston A. A., in a special one-mile race, and he had no trouble in winning in the clinking fast time of 4.16. He set a hot pace every foot of the way, and clipped twelve seconds off the armory record and came within one and two- fifths of second of his own worlds indoor record.
 According to the Buffalo scribes, Ray might have beaten the worlds record had he been hard pressed. Neither CutbiIl, who finished second. nor Devaney were able to take the lead from Joie at any stage of the race.

Benny Kauff Has
 Bout With Winters
Two Giant Players Almost Swap Blows After Pitcher Reminds Outf1elder of Certain Incident That Is
 Still Hanging Over Benny

Dallas, Tex, March 24-A lively scrap between Benny Kauf and Jess Winters of the Giants marked the short practice at Gardner Park yes terday afternoon, preliminary to the abandonement of the game with the Dallas club. Winters pitched in the batting practice, and instead of throwing them over in the customary way put lot of stuff on the ball when he served it up to Kauff. The outielder could not get to the ball for good solid soak and appeared to be somewhat riled.
 That is 12 times have struck you out, Benny" Winters remarked so that dhose in the bleachers could hear it. Kauff made some retort which could not be heard, and Win ters came right back with a remark about a certain Incident which prov ed far from a pleasant one for the outfielder.
 That was the signal for Kauf to drop his bat and make a rush for Winters The ortfelder got to his quarry, but before he could land a blow other players jumped between them and called a halt. Several hun dred persons in the stands enjoyed grined because there was not a real battle.
 Last night the whole camp was talking. But there was no indigna- ton. The players take it as one grand joke But Winters has been advised not to joke that way again.

WESTERN TRACK
 WONDERS WILL COMPETE IN EAST

New York, Mar. 24.-This years relay carnival at Franklin Field, Phil adelphia on April 30 and May 1, promises to outshine any of the twenty five carnivaIs conducted by the Quak- CT institution. Definite word has been received that Oxford and Cam bridge universities, of England, will combine their strength and send a two mile relay team to compete in the American relay championship in the Penn relays. The Pacific coast will be represented by entries from Red lands University, University of South ern California and Washington Uni versity. Entries have already been received from every prominent col lege east of the Rockies
 Of course the British four in com petition against the best teams that Yale, Harvard, Princeton, Chicago and Pennsylvania can put on the track will be the main attraction, but the work of the several new star per formers who will represent the three Pacific Coast colleges will be watched with interest.
 Bill Yount, the remarkable all- around athlete, of Southern Californ- ia. will be Redland's entry in the pentathlon championship, and if he can live up to the performances cred ited to him in the west he will come pretty close to winning the college title.
 He is a fine sprfnter and broad jumper and can run a good mile, but has never given much attention to the discus and javelin. He is paying particular attention to these two events in training now, and expects to give a good account of himself when he comes East
 It is expected that Gus Pope will be one of the Washington University en- tries for the discus and javelin throw ing events. This new weight-throw- ing star is tossing the discus over 140 fleet regularly, and does close to 1SO feet with the javelin.
 The star of the University of South ern California team will be Charles Paddock. the inter-allied 100 and 200 meter champion. He will probably compete in the 1o0-yard special re- lays. He has run the distance in g 4-5 s, and only a fortnight ago won a 1OO-yard. dash on a, wet track in ten seconds.
 Joe Chapman is another U. S. c star who will probably make the triT East. He has cleared the bar in the pole vault at 12 feet 4 inches three weeks ago, and according to reports from the coast he will add severa inches to that mark with another months training.

THREE OF WHITE
 SOX STARS SAY
 THEY WILL QUIT

Chicago, March 24-Reports to club headquarters here yesterday from the Chicago Americans training camp at Waco, Tex, were regarded as eX- ceedingly 'fbearish.'

 Shortstop Risberg and First Base man GandiI still are in California. They have reiterated their intention not to join the White Sox this season unless salary demands are met.

TREASURY FAST PAYING
DEBT OF NATION

The United States Treasury makes
public the figures, showing that the
public debt was reduced in Septem-
Der by the huge sum of $237, 3l5,O0O.
Most of this reduction was made by
paying off Treasury certificates of in
debtedness. These may be likened to
temporary, bonds, running only a lew
months and having usually one in
.terest coupon. They are taken by the
banks in the first place, but the banks
distribute the. greater part OF them
among their customers. Whoever
gets one has to pay full face value. o!
course. These certificates are favor
lite short-timc investments. There are
$z,347 10000 of them outstanding.
This IS included on the total debt
which on Oct. | was $24,0S7, $50. 600.
The Government receipts for the
month approached billion dollars
100000 to be more exact The
expenditures were less than 100000
000 This large difference was ex-
planned by the fact that the demands
OF the railroads for help had fallen
off.
This is a splendid record for the
month, and follows splendid records
in other recent motnhs.
The Treasury gives warning. how
ever, that the public must not expect
as good showing for the present
month. In October large payments
OF interest have been made on the
Fourth Liberty Loan. and no income
taxes come due. The railroads also
are expected to demand more money
under the Cummins railroad law. as
their accounting will then be finished
and the Treasury will be called upon
tor the final settlement with them.
