.FRISCH STARS
 AS GIANTS WIN
 FROM THE COLTS

San Antonio, March 12-The real Giants yesterday afternoon defeated the Colts in a six inning practice game by a score of to 1.
 Jess Barnes pitched three innings for the Big Fellows. and while Mo GraW's ace of the mound did not ex- tend himself to the full. he showed plainly that he was rounding into good condition. There are no kinks in his arm and he seemed to enjoy his stay in the box.
 Arthur Nehf also pitched three in nings for the Regulars, and he, too. showed that it would not be long be fore he could cut loose with every thing he has.
 Fred Toney and Rube Benton were in the box for the Colts and Toney was the victim of a veritab1e bonn bardment. Five runs off his delivery in the second inning tell the story o4 this six-inning game. He did little more than lob the ball up-and the Giants did the rest.
 Frank Frisch, who by the way is just about the most industrious man on the squad, once again satisfied McGraw and the critics who looked on that he will be a great favorite at the Polo Grounds this year. He covers as much ground as any in- fielder in the game and can be count ed on to take care of either third base or second base in the most acceptable manner,

Wilde Will Defend
 His T it1e Tonight
Champion of England Meet Frankie Mason One of Few American Boxers Who Can Make Weight
 For British Wonder

New York, March 12---For the first time in four years Jimmy Wilde, fly weight champion of the world, will engage in a bout in which his title will be at stake. The diminutive Bri-
 ton will meet Frankie Mason, an In diana dyweight, in a 12-round contest in Toledo tonight, and as both boxers will weigh less than the 112 pound limit of the f1yweight class, the honors will go to the Hoosier in the event that he defeats Wilde.
 As the contest will be decisionless Mason can win the title only by a knockout, and the Fort Wayne youth intimates that he will stop the cham pion in about ten rounds. Ed Smith of Chicago will referee, Wilde object ing to Pecord, who was third man in the ring at the Dempsey Willard bout.
 Wilde can win no prestige by de- feat1ng Mason, as the latter holds no title. Mason has insisted for some time past that he is the fiyweight
 champion of America, but he lacks credentials. The fyweight from the banks of the Wabash never has de- feated any boys of class, and in his last battle was held to a draw by Young Zulu Kid, who was stopped by Wilde in Il rounds, when the Brook lyn youngster was at his best.

 and Johnny .Rosner in 1916. and both

Eight U. s. Cyclists Will Ride In Bike
 Races at Olympics

New York, March 12-A team of eight cyclists, composed of the lead ing amateurs of the country, will wear the Old Glory emblem in the seventh Olympic games at Antwerp, Belgium, next summer. Harold J. Dibblee, a member of the Cycling Committee, a subcommittee of the American Olym- pic Committee, divulged this feature of the plans for the coming world classic last night at Madison Square Garden. Dibblee is chairman of the Board of Referees of the six day cy- cling race.
 According to Dibblee the final try outs will be held in the East, presum- ably at Vailsburg, N. IT. on the out skirts of Newark. These tryouts will follow a series of sectional tryouts which will be held in the different parts of the country where the sport thrives.
 With respect to the road racing tryouts, officials are in somewhat of a quandary. Difficulty is being ex- perienced, because of automobile traffic, in finding favorable roads where the cyclists can compete for the honor of going to Belgium. When road tryouts were held prior to the 1912 games at Stockholm the riders raced over Long Island roads and it is possible the same section will be se- lected for the coming events.
 Subscriptions have already been re- ceived for the fund which will be us- ed in defraying the expenses of the team abroad. On the basis which is being employed in estimating the ex- penses of other teams the outlay will ! be s1,o0o man, or a total of $8 900.

Spider Roach Gives Fine Exhibition at

At the Armory A A last night about two thousand fans agreed that tha
 Pembroke smoker was the best an-
 round they had seen in a long time.
 Terry Lee matchmaker, arranged
 such 8 good card that it is sure that
 he will stay in the boxing game few
 more years In one of the greatest
 exhibitions of cleverness ever seen in
 these parts Spider Roach beat Jack
 Sheldon of Brooklyn in the star bout of four rounds. Jim Bones and Young Spirits fought four hilarious rounds to draw. Young OIeary stopped Kid Victor in one round
 Leo Johnson won over Young Don ahue in the third bout Young Mul1i- gan all but K. O'ed Young Ritchie. Now, many fans know why Red | Allen was knocked out. Roach show l ed such a grand exhibition of duck | ing and sidestepping that Jack could
 not touch him. Roach did not clinch 1 once in the whole four rounds. When l the Californian opened up he hit 1 Sheldon with everything except the waterpail. Spiders wonderful jabs
 and hooks got him lot of praise from the fans.

ITALIAN TRACK
 WONDER NOT TO RUN AT ANTWERP

New York, March 12 - Recently another report appeared, having it that Emilio Lunghi, the once great Italian middle distance runner, is in training and will be a, dangerous con- tender in the 8o-mere event in next summers Olympics. The chances are that Lunghi will not even be entered in the athletic events at Antwerp, though it is possible he may repre- sent Italy in some of the equestrian contests, as he is an excellent horse man Lunghi's chances of scoring iu any of the track events might be compared to that of a snowfall in Ecuador
 If Lunghi had no chance in the Inter-A1lied games what chance will he have in the Olyrnpics? When the Italian team was in training at Co., lombes for the Inter-A1lied meet at Joinvi11e, Lieut. Marty Geis, athletic adjutant on the A E. F. staff, asked the athelic officer in charge of the Italian athletes if Lunghi, who was captain in the Italian cavalry, would represent Italy in the big meet in the Pershing Stadium
 'Oh, no. mol" laughing1y exclaimed the Italian officer, 'Lunght is an old man, nowi He is through with track athletics. He occasionally dops his running trunks but simply to help out in the coaching of the younger ath- letes. Emilio keeps in good condi- ton but his running powers are gone Youth must be served
 The first report of LunghfB fnten- t1ons to compete again was brought here last fall by Willard Mcleod, the former Irish-American A C. pole vaulter, who served with the Y- M c. A. in Italy, Mcleod ran into his old clubmate in Genoa last spring Lunghi wore the winged fist in tracl i competition here in 1910 In thu l midst of flaming bee with Mcleod Lunghi grew so enthusiastic that h, | told Willard he was chafng to ge into action again and you'd compet. 1 at Antwerp
 1 It only took a little investigation | however. to learn that Lunghi onl
 was a shell of his former running sel l and never would regain his old cinde
 path form. It simply is for pu'blicit, 1 purposes that Platt Adams, the Ita1 ian Olympic coach, is leadin up his newspaper friends her i with tales of Lunghf's prowess. Uncl
 Sam has a flock of schooIboys wh now can spot Emilio several yards an beat him. Back in 1910 it was & diff l ferent thing

Matchmaker Tommy Palmer has arranged q card that is sure to appeal to the fans. Al ketchel and Bud Pal mer will meet in the final and star bout. Red Allen will attempt to re- gain the popularity that he lost when he was knocked out by Spider Roach, by meeting Eddie O'BrIen in the semi final bout of the smoker.
 Eddie O'Brien fought a fast bout with Palmer and although be lost, he made lot of friends here by his good work. Young O'Leary and Young Wallace who fought such a slashing six-rountIer at the Casino last month, will swap punches for four stanzas in the second clash of the evening. Young MuIligan. who is touted as a sure conner. will face Eddie Kelly, an old timer. in the opening event of the smoker.
 Johnny Lyons will do the announc- ing. Andy Parker will do the referee ing, while M. F. O'Connor will hold the watch.

BROCCO QUITS
 SIX DAY RACE;
 GOULLET AHEAD

New York, March 12 Alfred Goullet, the much hissed and booted Australian rider at the six-day bicycle race in Madison Square Garden, came into his own last night in the fourth day of the grind. The veteran fur nished most of the excitement for the assembled fans by winning majority cf first places in the evening sprints, incidentally carrying off a prize of $50 for the team achieving this feat
 The elimination of Maurice Brocco and Charles Deruyter in the early hours yesterday morning because of injuries to the Italian resulted in an evenings competition marked by bit ter rivalry and sprints packed with thrills. Eight teams automatically assumed the lead following the 7- draWal of the Itaian-Belgian combi- nation. and with the one lap advan- tage erased the race speeded up to a noticeable degree
 The evenings sprints were as fully packed with excitement as the Gar den was with fans. Upward of 12,o00 enthusiasts crammed their way into the inclosure, which was crowded with humanity from the infield to the caves. The inclosure inside the saul cer was filled with the overflow, and outside the Garden long lines o1 wouid-be ticket purchasers were herded into long lines by the police. Goullet assumed the crown lost by Brocco and Deruyter, and, with his partner consistently led the fled in the evening dashes- The Australian himself won three first places and g second, while the crowd booted and groaned and hissed in much the same manner it has every night this week

LEONARD SEEMS
 TO BE LODGING
 WILLING BATTLE

l New York, March 12-Looking over the list of Hghtweights with whom Benny Leonard has crossed 1 gloves it seems exceedingly strange that he never met Joe Yelling. Three or four years ago Leonard's excuse ! for not meeting Yelling was the en- nnity between his manager Billy Gib- son and Jimmy Johnston, who then piloted Yelling. Gibson consistently refused to have anything to do with Johnston or any of the men he ham, dled- That alibi does not serve any longer, for Yelling cut loose from Johnston more than a year ago and now is handled by Sam Hahn-
 There is no lightweight in the game with a clearer right to a title bout i with Leonard than Yelling. Joe has 1 a twelve round referees decision over i Johnny Dundee, with whom Leonard has fought a dozen times with no de- i cisive result Yelling is a legitimate | lightweight and can enter the ring
 well inside the limit He is making
 131 ringside for Benny Valger in their bout at the National A C., Philadel-
 phia- on Saturday night
 Yelling never has been decisively 1 whipped He claims never to have been knocked off his feet Yelling has fought the best men of his weight and frequently has gone outside of his class to meet top notchers, as his ! two bouts with Jack Britton, the wei terweight champion, attest The
 best any of his opponents could do
 was to shade Yelling.
 While fast and clever. Joe's rug gedness and stamina make him es- sendally a long distance fighter.
 There are many experts who a few

 They believed Joe could take all the

Say Cannefax Didn't
 Keep Contract With
 Billiard Promoters

New York, March 12----The reason for Bob Cannefax's declaration to meet August Kieckh efer in three cushion match for a guarantee of
 s7,500 is out and it's none other than that Bob is in more or less bad with the powers that be in the billiard world.
 It seems that Cannefax hasn't lived up to his agreement to make an 1S- weeks tour with Hoppe and Ralph Greenleaf, the pocket billiard cham pion, and for that has been dropped from the tour. Naturally the three
 cushion champion feels he is at lib erty to negotiate for matches where 1 he pleases and the first was the an-
 swer to Kieckhefer's challenge. l According to R. B. Benjamin, who
 is managing the tour of the cham pions, Cannefax expresses a willing ness to meet the Chicagoan in a match
 for s5,000 side and the gate receipts,
 and play to take place on tables
 equipped by the firm with which
 Kieckhefer is employed. Benjamin construes this as a violation of con-
 tract, which justifies cancellation, a | forfeiture of his title, and disbar-
 menJ from future championship i matches.
 l AS it is, it is said that Benjamin has
 asked that Cannefax's monthly salary 1 from the controlling firm be discon- ! tinued and that ro be suspended l Which puts Cannefax in bad and i started a case which is sure to occupy i the attention of the billiard world.

 WIN HOT CAME

The Blue Ribbons broke into the winning column last night by beating the Germantown, Pa.. club of the Eastern Basketball League by 30 to 29 at Colonial hall It was a lively game and pleased the fans. Jake Fuller, the funny little man, helped the Ribbons to victory. He followed Powell, the Germantown forward, so closely that the latter. could not cage a field goal. Fuller made two goals himself from difficult angles.
 Skeets Wright excelled for the Ribbons. The veteran made five goals from the floor and four from the foul line. Bruggy, the eccentric forward for Germantown, was also in good form He got five from the floor and three from the foul line The Ribbons started poorly and German town led by ten points in the first half but the Ribbons gradually caught ur and went ahead by 15 to IA before the half was finished. As Camden could not appear last night the Jer- seymen will play here next Thursday night

MAY MAKE RULE
 FOR NUMBERING
 FOOTBALL STARS

New York, March 12.---The football rules committee meets here tonight to consider numerous suggestions offered to improve the sport. It will be the first formal meeting of the committee since 1917. A plan to make more diff1- cult the one point for a goal from touchdown by shortening the span be- tween the goal posts to IA feet has been offered; while another sugges- ton would compel the kick to be made from a scrimmage formation on the % yard mark by placement or drop kick
 Division of the periods into 40 plays, or 160 for the game also has been pro posed. Another plan would award points to the team carrying the ball inside the p yard line and allowing a point for five sequential first downs. It is expected that a rule proposing the numbering of players will be pro- posed.

Golfer Made Hole In
 One On Coast Course

The golfer who cam make g, hole in one stroke is always a matter of envy to other players, and fortune is no respector of persons when it comes to this honor roll. Duffer and cham pion arc treated alike, and ofttines a man who has been playing only & few months will find that his tee shot has rolled into the cup, while the scratch golfer may never feel the thrill that accompanies a hole in one. A most unusual instance occurred the other day in California-it might happen once in a Iifetime-when Geo. w. Blanchard made the fourth hole of the Raymond course in one. The hole in question is no less than 520 yards long.
