Lack of any ur- gent demand was apparent, and indeed there was little particular support ex- cept from speculators who were in po- sltion to collect profits on previous sales made at higher level of prices. Un- promising views expressed regarding the threatened strike of coal miners add ed distinctly to bearish sentiment grow Ing out of the changed crop outlook In the southwest resulting from fresh sup piles of moisture. Another factor oper- ating against the buying side of the wheat market was a pronounced drop in European exchange rates.

SOME FAST BOUTS
 AT PUTNAM TONIGHT

Especial to the Bulletin)
 Putnam, March 1S-When announc- CT Dick Whalen gets through intro ducing any celebrities that may drop in and the official timekeeper Doe Baldwin jerks the rope that will for. the first time ring the new nickel plated gong, the first boxing card in Putnam under state supervision will be ready for production. This is scheduled in the Victory Theatre arena at 8: :15 sharp, Tuesday evening. The third man in the ring will be "Smiler" Liv- ingston of Hartford, who gave excel lent satisfaction when the wrestling bouts were staged here.
 The show will open with two good preliminaries in which will be seen Jeff Tetreault of Putnam and Eddie Congdon of Hartford, the latter well known in Putnam where he has often visited. This will go for rounds pro- viding no one puts over a haymaker! !! The second round prelim will intro duce Young Guerin of Putnam and Joey Gibbon of Hartford, providing the Hartford boy is able to attend, | if not there will be a good substitute. Then comes the semi final and the if nal. While the big drawing card is us ually the last bout on the program perhaps it is safe to say that in this instance the semi between Jimmie Me i Kenna of Mechanicsville, who return ed Sunday night in the pink of con dition from a training camp near 1 Woonsocket, and Red Boulay, who has 1 the support of all of his North End admirers will be of unusual interest
 This is down for scheduled 8 rounds and it will sure be a lively mill and make the star performers in the Last bout step some to hold the limelight ! The final will be over ten round

BAY STATE STEWARDS
MEET ON SATURDAY

MEET ON SATURDAY
 Once a rumor gains momentum it is hard to stop. And so it is with the re- ports regarding the sale of the Sage park track at Windsor, Conn, member of the Bay State circuit. Ever since it was learned early last week that the famous half mile oval was to be advertised for sale rumors have originated somewhere that the Bay State circuit is about to collapse and that no meetings will be held this summer. Just where these ru- mors originated no one seems to know, but that they do exist there is no doubt few minutes conversation with any number of local horsemen will prove that much at least
 Of more interest to the tracks that follow Windsor on the scheGSle is what effect will the Sage park sale have on their entry lists. If 1t were true that Windsor would hold no meetings this l season, then there may be sufficient cause for worry to the track owners at Springfield, Northampton and Greenfield For then it would be quite possible that horse owners in the states of New York | Delaware and Pennsylvania would ob- l Ject to the open week intervening between l Avon and Springfield and would in that case ship their horses to the west
 Despite these rumors, there will be | eight weeks of racing in the Bay State ] circuit this season, and possibly nine Windsor track is for sale. but meeting | will be held th'Ee nevertheless This was specifically emphasized by the pres l ent owners when they met at Windsor last week to talk over the proposed sale l The withdrawal of Stafford Springs | leaves the only weak link in the chain | but as WoonsoGket will hold it's opening meeting one week later than at first an nounced, the eight weeks of racing will l still be continuous. In other words l Woonsocket will start the season the week of June 19 instead of June 12, and l the stables will then be shipped to Avon | Windsor, Springfield, Northampton J Greenfield, W2onsocket (second meeting) and Norwich in the order named. After | Norwich gives it's meeting it is possible that Avon will repeat with another four day program the latter part of August.
 It is this which has caused President Wilson to call the meeting of the stew. | ards at the Eastern States Exposition of fees In Springfield Saturday or the early part of next week instead of waiting un til the end of the month Besides actinc | on Wilson's resignation as president, tn, | stewards can discuss the happenings O last week and make their plans accord | ingly. Entry lists for the early closin; | events of the Bay State circuit will clos
 on April IT, so whatever action Is takel
 relative to the safeguarding of the en
 tries for the tracts in this vicinity mus
 be done Immediately

ON THE HALF MILE OVAL.

Entry blanks for the Eastern States fall meeting were completed last week and will be mailed out about Wednes- day.
 Handbool1s for the Bay State circuit will be ready soon. They can be ob- tained by addressing Frank Kenney, secretary of the circuit. in Boston.
 Springfield's S5,OOO free-for-all pace is attracting a great deal of attention in official horsedom. The Grand Circuit meeting at Columbus in September is apt to feel it when it's free-for-all pace is raced.
 Allan J. Wilson says he does not see how he can remain as president of the circuit following his plans to retire from the racing game He reiterated his in- tention of resigning at the coming meet ing.
 Pneumonia claimed two horses at the Eastern States Exposition track last week, Lady Rivers and Naismith. Lady Rivers belonged to E. N. Austin of Sui field, Conn.,, whiia A. DeRose of Spring. field owned Naismith.
 Dave Warman is having great diff. culty in entering his Charley Rex in the Bay State circuit this season. The horse has a mark of 2.o9 trotting, but wher he was bought ''poor old Dave" thought he had a mark of 2.11.
 Windsor's program, announced severa weeks ago leads the circuit in purses The four $2O00 stakes to be given witt others will bring the total of the early closing events to $14.5Oo. The clas, races will be announced later.
 Horse owners in Delaware. New Yori and Pennsylvania are safe in assuming that there will be a meeting at Windsor this summer. Sage park is a racing plan ! and will only be bought by someone wht intends to race horses there. The syndicate of 10 sportsmen under writing the Bay State circuit meeting a Norwich in August met last week anc elected the following officers: President Elmer R. Pie-son; vice president, c. V Pendleton; treasurer, Gilbert L. Ray 1 mond; secretary, Albert J. Bailey. Roger Rourke of Greenfield, who wit Dave Mulcahy of Northampton Is tn most likely successor of President VII 1 son, will leave for Boston tomorrow. H is going on business concerning the Ba 1 State circuit and will also look owe Wilson's stable with view to buyin | two of the horses,

BROTHERS NOW FIGURE
 IN GOLF ACTIVITIES

There have been a lot of brothers mixed up in footbaS and baseball. Both games are full of them In football there were Robertson of Dartmouth and Rob ertson of Syracuse, Stein of Pittsburgh and Stein of w.. and J., Callahan of Princeton and Callahan of Yale, among many others. In basebai. the Coveleskies, the Johnstons. the pHlehantys, the Wheats, etc. In tennis there are the An derson brothers.
 Now these complications are assailing golf in the Kerrigan brothers George Kerrgan wins at Jacksonville. with Tommy Kerrigan only a few strokes away. And up to this tournament Tom my had gathered in most of the glory. Peter and Pat O'Hara have added some what to the complicat ons, and in the amateur ranks the two Corkrans and the two Edwards have figured for some years. But in tine main one star golfer seems to be about as much as one fam Ny can offer at one time, although Oufmet's younger brother once gave con- siderable promise.
