MORLEY WHIPS PALITZ TWICE
 AND BILLY MORAN ONCE

Mike Morley of Hartford earned two clean cut decisions over K O. Palitz of New London and one over Referee Billy Moran at the Lyceum theatre in New London on Friday evening, according to those who were at the ringside. Nor ley and Palitz fought the star bout on the card of the National Athletic club and it was one of the best fights of the season but the decision of Referee Billy Moran was terrible.
 Morley led the fighting in the first eight rounds and gave Palitz terrific beating but in the last four rounds Pal itz came back strong and clearly out pointed the Hartford lad. As the tap of the final gong sounded Moran raised Pal itz' hand and then the fun began. Ihe best Palitz could have hoped for was draw but to get win out of it was ridiculous and absurd.
 Morley did not make much of a fuss but as Referee Moran came down out of the ring Morley let drive haymak- CT but Moran tucked. Palitz sec ing his friend, (advisedly) in trouble took a swing at his recent opponent and the second bout of the evening was on Morley carried the fight to Palitz and all the New Londoner could was cover up and retreat to the protection of four husky cops who stepped in and escort ed Morley to his dressing room. A large crowd waited for Moran outside the thea tre but the police dispersed them be- fore there was more trouble.
 It is a pity that :Le first exhibition in New London in some time should have ended in such disgraceful man ner. It Is this kind of a thing that dis gusts the public with the fight game. Referees who do not know the game or who are biased in their opinion are a disgrace and should be barred from any ring.

cles on the baseball situation with ref erence to the reported resignation of Coach Bernie Tommers, Ear. Blossom said:
 ''The difficulties in the Yale baseball
 camp have been satisfactorily settled. Captain Eddy, who at first opposed the return of Coach A. E. B. Tommers, has
 agreed to remain as captain and give
 Tommers his full support and co-opera-
 tion. Coach Tommers on the other hand,
 has agreed to return as coach at Q re- duced salary inasmuch as his services as basketball coach are no longer re- quired. f1t has been stated in the newspapers that Coach Tornmers was dismissed. He was not dismissed nor was his resigna- tion forced at any time. He was ac- quainted with the conditions that existed at the time, namely, that next years captain preferred a coach with more baseball experience, that this preference was shared by others, and that the graduate director of athletics felt at that time that more permanent and i lasting baseball policy should be adopt ed with a more experienced profession al coach at the head than under the past system. Facing these conditions Tonlmers felt it wise to resign. '@Tommers and many Yale baseball au- thorities later felt that, in view of his record last season coupled with the fact 1 that he was Yale graduate in good 1 standing, should count more in his fla vor than the fact of his limited base l ball experience. It was finally decid- ed that, if Captain Eddy would concur 1 this settlement would be for the best 1 interests of Yale baseball. Captain Eddy l showed his good judgment and his quail | ities as a good Yale man by consenting 1 to withdraw his objections for the sake l of harmony. There consequently exists 1 no longer between the captain and the coach anything but the best spirit of l harmony and cooperation"
 l MT. Blossom also referred to the Yale track situation and the reports that Head Coach John Mack and his assistant, Bill | ly Queal. were to be replaced and said,
 "the graduate director of athletics wishes
 most emphatically to state that no one i in connection with Yale track desires the replacement of Coaches Mack and l Queal."
 l The following members of the board
 of athletic control were selected for the ! executive committee: Professor c. W. i Wendell. chairman Dr.. James C. Green l way; Professor c. J. Tilden; Charles
 P. Luckey; J. N. Pharr, and B. P. Pel-
 ly. Dean c. H. Warren succeeded Direc- tor Russell H. Chittenden, on the board.
 The appointments of Ed Leader as
 head coach of the crew; A. B. B. Tom
 mers as head coach in baseball: Ned
 Merriam as assistant coach in track, and F. M Touchton for soccer were rati-
 fled. The board also announced that il
 hoped to appoint an experienced man fol
