CONFIDENCE KEEN
 AS WATSON GETS
 READY FOR FIGHT
British Feather W ei g h { Down to Weight for Crack at Chocolates Crown

Pompton Lake, N. J. May g. To listen in while Seaman Watson is chatting sends one away con- vinced he is sure shot to de- throne Kid Chocolate in a sched- uled 15-rounder, at Madison Square garden, New York, Friday night. They will fight for the world feath- erweight championship at 123 pounds.
 After brisk workout consisting of four rounds of boxing, bag punching, rope skipping and some English calestehics, Watson al- lowed how he is going to punch Chocolate full of holes. He was very impressive in the four rounds of boxing. awo eoch against George Reilly of Detroit and Frankie Klick of California.
 A flock of newspaperment saw him do his stuff. Seated at the ring side with her nase literally buried in the resin dust was his wife, Mrs Kathleen Watson. mother of three children. She goes to all his fights.
 Real Fight Fan
 Before Watson climbed through the ropes, the fnissus was in red hot argument with Manager Char ley Harvey about some choice seats" ."he wants to sit in the very first row and she won't take no for an answer" disclosed Harvey.
 If she had her way about it, she would boss her husbands training but Harvey will have none of that.
 Watson hates to train, he loathes the preliminary boxing. o today he called 1t a day so far as sparring is concerned. From now until he starts for the battle-ground Watson will do some road work and calis- thenics.
 He weighed 127 1-2 pounds this afternoon. Deputy Commissioner Chich Goodman weighed him. He appears to be in great shape" Chich allowed.
 British Angle
 That there is great interest in London is evidenced by the cable call fo rnews. everal English cor respondents have taken abode in Doc Bier's camp to be right near their little countryman. They cable reams of stun about him every day. A round b yround descrip- tion has been ordered by two of the big papers in London.
 T will win and win easily" de- clared Watson. T saw Chocolate fight Johnny Farr last week in Philly, he isn't much. I feel great. I know am in good shape. I'll have no excuse to offer if l am licked"

-,Y HENRY McLEMORE


 United Press StafY Correspondent Goshen, N. T., May 9.-(UP)- Up here in this sleepy little village nestled hard in the Ramapo Hills, the men of the trotting horse are preparing for another smashing season..
 One of the few sports to make money last season, light harness racing, once king of the tracks, will, as usual, come to a climax with the running of the classic Hambletonian. With running horse tracks cutting their stake money to the bone, trotting men point with pride to the fact that the Ham mbletonian-their Kentucky der by-will be for $50,000 added. Here at Goshen 150 trotters and pacers of half dozen stables are in training for the grand circuit which opens in June. Early morn of yesterday found us perched on the white-washed fence that sur- rounds Good Time Park mile track, watching the trotters and Wig glers" (pacers) go through their morning workouts. Beside us (when he wasn't working horse) was Walter Cox, the daddy of all trotting men now that Pop" Geers is gone, and, one of the greatest characters we've ever met in sports.
 Cox, an owner, trainer and driv- CT, has spun some 600,000 miles or 24 times around the world, in q racing sulky. Forty of his 67 years have been spent in active participatoin in trotting, and he figures that 300 days of each of those years has sene him travel 5O miles. Judging by his looks you'd take him for 45-Cox is good for "A more laps around the earth.
 Of all the Hambletonians he has seen, Cox believes the 1893 re- newal will be the most wide open. None of the 40 eligibles this year is a standout," he said. Last year the Marchioness was the class of the field and everybody knew that, given fair break in the mat ter of racing luck. she'd win. But not this year. We've quite few of the eiigibies training here and not one of them has done better than 2:10 for the mile.
 The veteran believes that some day trotters and pacers will elim- mate the some 20 seconds that sep arates their best time from that of runners, and travel just as fast.
 "A lot of people will say I'm crazy and that trotter never will step along like runner, but you wait and see. remember when folks said trotter never would turn a 2:10 mile. When that time was bettered 2:00 was agreed up- on as the timem a trotter never would break. Lots of the trotting people went to the trouble to fig ure out how far a trotter wuld have to travel a second to run a 2:OO mile, how fast his feet would have to work, and then announced the time was impossible. Nova days if a trotter can't do mile that fast he hasn't much chance of winning in fast company"
 Cox is of the opinion that horses, trotters included, would run faster and keep in betert health if they weren't petted and pampered so. Being a man who practices what he breaches he works William H. Canes good time stable horses. every day in the year. Rain, sleet, snow and cold bothers him not one whit. The Kane horses winter at Goshen, not in the south as do most trotters, and when the track is snow-covered or frozen over Cox substitutes sleigh for a suiky and goes right ahead.

WASHINGTON HILL LASSIES CAPTURE
 TITLE HOOP TILT
North End Sextet Lose Girls Club Champion ships, IA to l-Mrs Julius B. Smith Lauds Players

Another championship to-day wrests among Washington Hill athletes, but this time it's the members of the opposite sex who receive the bouquets. for last eve- ming at Duggan school gym the hill basketeers of the Waterbury Girls Club decisively showed their su- periority over the north end maid ems in the playoff for the Girls club league honors by holding the northerners goalless in registering a IA to 1 triumph an .annexing the NJ. A. Green championship trophy.
 The winners functioned like champions and look at the box score will reveal the defensive prowess of the Abrigador lassies. To point out the individual stars of the winning combination would be an injustice unless all six were mentioned, for the unit worked like clock. The losers were out classed throughout, but they didn't give up and made their conquerors fight hard for every point they registered.
 Following the game Mrs. Julius E. Smith, a member of the Girls Club directors, congratulated the members of both teams for their sterling play and clean sportsman ship.

By the Associated Press.
Whether the administration will take
action to stabilize the dollar within a
short time was the subject of specula-
ton in financial circles here today.

mentS and financial circles avowedly
ready to aid in any steps the United
States may take, the visit of c. M. v.

of England, to Secretary Woodin Satur-
day revived reports the currency sta
bilization was the subject of the confer
ence.
Visit Paid Roosevelt.
Later, Sprague and the Secretary
visited President Roosevelt and lent
further color to the reports. The Sec
retary, however, said after the confer
ences that Sprague had called on him
merely as a matter of courtesy, and
after talking on general subjects he had
taken him to the White House to meet
the President.
The Secretary said the question Of
stabilizing the dollar had not been men
toned during the conversations with
Mr.. Roosevelt.
in the United States, Great Britain and
France has come to the fore with the
near approach of the London Economic
Conference. 1t had been assumed that
efforts would be made to stabilize the
pound and dollar prior to the con-
ference.
The question of stabilization, while
attracting much interest, as far as
could be seen outwardly, was not receiv-
ing any attention in official circles
Nevertheless reports persisted that some
such action was in the cards and would
be known within short time
