EASTERN LEAGUE SCHEDULE READY Doublcheade.r on Saturday; Sunday Games at Newark and Providence CUP outstanding feature of tlie schedule of the International league this year, just issued, is the number of double-headers aside from the two names that are played on holidays. A majority of these double bills are down for decision on Saturdays, which would give the impression that the Inter national rather hopes to thus bolster up the season. These bargain matinees are un evenly scattered between the clubs, Rochester and Baltimore being favored with eight each, while Richmond gets six and Toronto and Buffalo each live. Singularly, only one double-header has i been awarded to Montreal and New ark, and Providence escapes without any. Buffalo and Rochester get the holi day plums, both playing at home on Memorial Day and the Fourth of July, and in return are scheduled both morning and afternoon on Canadian holidays, the former at Montreal and Toronto and the latter having two dates at the last-named place. Newark and Providence are big Sun day towns and the former has 13 games at home on Sunday and the Clamdiggers 12. The championship season will open on April 26 at Balti more and Richmond, and on the next day at Newark and Providence. Nat urally, the home season of the north ern teams will not open until the mid dle of May, so that good weather will favor the teams.

Next Boxing Bill Will Include Titleholders; Leo Houck on List Harrisburg fight fans are anxiously awaiting the ring of the bell to start to-morrow night's show at the Or plieutn. No better bill has been offered in any city In the East. The wind-up between Leo Houck and Jack Reck is alone worth the price of admission. Harrisburg is for tunate in getting a chance to see these middleweight* mix it up. They are two of the most expensive men in the ring. Houck'* ability is known to many local enthusiasts who have seen him in many engagements, Reck has a reputation to look after. The semiwind-up will include Jule Ritchey and Terry Howell. On the preliminary bill are Willie Green and Eddie Sullivan; Kid Smith and Kid West are a third bout to be booked to-day. Willie Lewis Breaks Down; Worries Over Son's Death New York, March 28.—Willie Lewis, the trainer and pal of Frank Moran, is a synonym for gameness himself. Early last week he was given the worst shock of his life when diphtheria snatched his 7-year-old son away from him. At the time Willie bore the blow bravely and only thought of the sufferings of his wife. But after the battle was over Saturday night, and after he had seen that Frank was safely abed and asleep, he turned to his own home and when he arrived he suffered a complete breakdown. His wife telephoned Moran late yes terday afternoon about Willie's pros tration and Moran hurried to his pal's bedside. A doctor is in constant at tendance and Willie is reported to be dangerously ill. Only those who were close to Willie knew how much he was suffering over the sad loss of his boy. But it was apparent to all that his stout heart was set upon Frank bringing home victory. He drove from his head all thought of himself and his family and throughout the battle poured words of encouragement into Moran's ears. But the human brain and frame can stand only so much, and the tension was finally stretched beyond the break ing point. It is a fine compliment to his courage that he did not crack under the strain of four days preced ing the bout.
