FIGHT IT
 OUT AT BEACH RESORT

Virginia Beach, Va, UP)-If early training means anything, the future boxing champions of the world will come from this seaside resort.
 Every Friday night kids rang ing in weight from 55 to 155 pounds gather in the Seaside park night club for a series of bouts under the direction of Landon ("Duck'') Hilliard, former Virginia Military Instituet football and ring star. Hilliard evolved the idea several months ago when pair of kids asked him to lend them some gloves with which to finish a fight.
 The plan of holding weekly fights which he essayed soon there after became tremendously popu- lar and fights since then have been held before huge crowds. A small admission fee is charged those who enter the arena, but there is no large profit for any one, since Promoter Hilliard re- moves his charges to an ice cream parlor after each show, and pur- chases a pint of ice cream for each contestant.
 In order to be sure that none of the fighters is injured, Hilliard ref erees all of the fights himself. and ignores the boos of the crowds as he separates sluggers when one

BRIGHAM YOUNG SCHOOL
 SEEKS TENNIS HONORS

Provo. Utah (UPy-Brigham m Young University, producer of Rocky Mountain Conference foot ball. basketball, and track teams with surprising consistency, is lay ing the foundation to capture some collegiate tennis cups.
 Athletic Director G. Ott Rom- ney has ordered construction of l2 courts on the university campus.
 Faced with depleted budget, Romney tried out a new surface material which is becoming popu- lar for courts in the inter-moun. tain region.
 It is rock asphalt, guara nteed not to wear or become spongy in hot weather. Maintenance cost Is small.
 The asphalt is considered supe. rior to cement, for it's surface pos sesses a yielding quality which is cay on the players feet. More- over, this foot ease" does not slow down the balls rebound.

ALL -IMPO RTANT Il NEW YORK-DETROIT| SERIES UNDER WAY
Tigers Compiled Some Fine Figures in Recent
 l2=game Streak
BY THEON WRIGHT United Press Staff COrreSDOndentl

New York, Aug IA - (U.P.) = Mickey Cochrane's high-powered pick -me-ups from Detroit will be welcomed at Yankee Stadium this afternoon for a check-up on the American League pennant situa- tion. Colonel Jake Ruppert's ball boys. trailing by four and a half games, want to know whether this Detroit club is a team of destiny or a fall rumor.
 There was some tendency to dis credit the team of destiny angle until a short while back. One set of figures came through, however that carried conviction. The figures were: twelve won in a row.
 If any more figures are wanted here are a few: Detroit is out-hit- ting the Yankees by 25 points; the club average is .310 against .2S5 fer the New Workers. Detroit has ten men hitting at 300 or better; the Yankees have four. Detroit has won five games more than the Tanks and lost four less, which stacks up to a Appoint advantage in the percentage column.
 Tanks On The Spot
 With five games coming up this week UGlN CtH IDt lHO CluUS, II may readily be calculated that the New Workers will have to win a preponderance of the games-in or come close to tiff they hope to view this pennant situation with clear eye when the Detroiters de- part next Friday evening.
 To-day's double header promises n hn a i'm a moments the Yankees have faced this season. If New York sweeps the first days play, they may be inspired to renew vigor, and clam Der nimbly back to the top. If they miss, it will be too bad.
 A split will not be of much help. The burden of proof is all upon the Tanks. They must beat a club that has been outhitting, outplaying and outgaming them for the last month. And tshi is pretty nearly their last chance to make good.
 Foreman Joe Mccarthy will give the Yankees quite a shakeup be- fore they go to bat. George Selkirk, who hit .350 with the Newark Bears this season, will be at Earl Combs post in the outfield. Red Rolfe will probably be at third III place of Jack Saltzgaver. MT Me- Carthy is hoping-and praying that it works.
 Big Blank
 Yesterday Washington Sem ators were bumped off by Philadel- phia go in the only game played. Itw as to have been a double header, but rain halted the second game, and also washed out Pitts burgh ands Cincinnati in the Ma tional League.
 Johnny Marcum was credited with the shutout. The Macks piled up ten hits on Alphonse Thomas, Jack Russell and Alex McColl in | the first heat, scoring all their runs. McColl and Marcum pitched shutout ball after that.

TENfPERAMENTAL UMPIRES
 WRONG FRANKIE FRESH

St Louis, Mo (UP)-Tempera- mental umpires are pain in the neck to Frank Francis Frisch, manager of the St Louis Cardinals.
 Something must be done with them," he declares. They insist they are always right and the manager or player who is arguing with them is wrong"
 Frisch is preparing to fight for the rights of major league man. agers and ballplayers to question the judgment of umpires and league executives. His first move will be to solicit assistance from the other seven league managers, and with their help he believes the sweeping power and authority of arbiters will be curbed consider ably when the 1895 season opens.
 This present condition must be changed-changed immediately" Frisch declares, "or I am afraid the fans will lose interest in the great national pastime. The man. agers must fight this battle."

KILLER BANDITS
 SUDDENLY FIRE
 THEIR ATTORNEY
Millen Brothers Caused Big Surprise to Their
 Counsel in Case

Dedham, Mass, Mar. 13-(UP) The Millen brothers, Murton and Irving, today suddenly discharged their counsel, Attorney Albert R Mackusick, refusing to see him when he visited Dedham jail.
 It was believed that the Millens, who with Abraham M. Faber must stand trial for their lives as alleg- ed killer bandits week from next Monday, would ask the court to appoint a prominent criminal law yer to take over their defense.
 Attorney William R. Scharton, it was believed, would remain as Faber's counsel.
 In discharging Mackusick, the brothers apparently were motivat- ed by desire to have some veter- an criminal attorney defend them in their fight against the electric chair on charges of murdering two policemen in the $13,0O0 Needham Trust Company Lo1d-up of Feb ruary 2.
 They had expected George Stan ley Harvey, former assistant dis trict-attorney by Middlesex coun- ty and in experienced criminal lawyer, to represent them as sen- for counsel, but he withdrew from the case last night.
 When Mackusick appeared at the jail this morning a guard informed him that the Millens did not care to see him. Mackusick left imme- diately for Boston to confer with Scharton.

SERVICES OF AIR
 MAIL HAVE BEEN
 RESUMED AGAIN
Orders of President on Safety First'' Being
 Carried Out
BY RONALD VAN TINEA United Press Staff CorrespOndent)

| United Press Staff Correspondent Washington, March 13-(UP)-- I Skeleton air mail service was or. dered resumed by the army today
 over nine key routes. Safety of the personnel was placed as the first
 consideration on all operations. The order for resumption came after a 48-hour halt of all flying operations occasioned by the sharp demand of President Roosevelt that
 the growing list of army air fatali- ties be cut short immediately.
 Feeder routes to the basic airmail network will be added as rapidly as fully trained pilots and first
 class equipment can be placed in
 service.
 The Army's experience with the
 airmail, however, was hardly ex- pected to last longer than the time required to get it well underway on an effective basis Since con-
 gress was rushing plans to give the task back to private lines. The army was called into the emergency created when private mail contracts were cancelled by Postmaster General James A. Far ley.
 The question of responsibility for the disastrous result of the army mail flying which cost the lives of 10 pilots in three weeks was under scrutiny today.
 Farley indicated that he would not share this responsibility with the statement that i've had the T. Al.o al. .t (rnptinuad m papa 2o
