C. The windup will bring together two rugged battlers, Jimmy Murray, of New York, and Harry Smith, of Philadelphia, and men who saw this pair meet in a Quaker City ring say their encounter was the most ex citing bout they ever witnessed and it was because neither of the men was satistied with the reports of tlio bout that they were matched to meet in Harrisburg. The owners of the new club in order to develop some local boxing talent have wisely matched lads from this neighbor hood witli the idea that if they put up good contests the winners would be matched against boxers from New York and Philadelphia. Red Sox Leader Has Reason to Be Happy • . !'. ' T£\ zm, i I \ •: / , M £ w t. BARRY, BOSTON RED SOX. | j Boston, April 23.

He was hit hard at l : times, and cast no spell over the Yankees as in his lirst game against; them, but he got three hits in the; game, which resulted in three of; the six runs scored, the hits being a triple and two doubles sandwiched in j at opportune times.

April —"Chic" Simlar, a local Polish boy! outfought Lightweight Champion Freddie Welsh here last night in a ten-round bout. Simlar bored- into the cham pion every minute and easily beat him in every round hut one, the sixth. It was a decisive victory for Simlar. Simlar weighed 134 pounds. Welsh would not weigh in.

As For Service Rendered To look Fate in the face, However grim and dark — To take the game's wortst break, And hold the vital spark— To throw soft flesh aside, Where Trouble rules The fray, Nor make one lone complaint Along the harder way— Can you, who've drifted long, Be ready at. the call To swim upstream again, Whatever may befall? For service also means The courage to endure. Where those who come through lire Shall find the only cure. So far l/cs Darcy has been turned down in nineteen States. But he's a persistent cuss, and he may yet get by in Mexico if he can spring the proper combination. No Champions Unless some vital change develops at an early date, 1917 will present no golf or tennjs champions. This means that Chick Evans and Norris Williams will hold their posi tions at the heights unchallenged until peace returns and the onslaught can be renewed by the complete field. This will be the first lapse in championship title play that golf and tennis have ever known in America, but it was the only fair way to handle the situation. A championship won this summer, with so many stars missing, would not reflect any lasting credit upon the winner. It would be regarded more as a victory by default. Shakespeare on the Kaiser "Set all marks in the state to what tune pleased his ear" "Made such a. sinner of memory, to credit his own lie" "The strain of strutting chanticleer" "Why, then, the world's my oyster, which I, with sword, will open" "In time the savage bull doth bear the yoke" "In a false quarrel there is n.o true valor" "Thus must I from the smoke into the smother" "A rotten case abides no handling" After the War There will be no championship golf in this country until after the war. But the first championship which England holds will more than likely find the greatest American entry list on. record. We know now of any number of American players who are planning to go over for the next British championship—whenever that may be. For while Great Britain has lost many of her golfing stars, she still has a for midable array left —one capable of putting up a strong defensive fight. Ballplayers Who Slay Go Young ballplayers have become accustomed to facing the draft. Many of them are drafted by higher minor leagues and then drafted by the majors. But when the Universal Service bill has gone through many of these will face a new variety of draft. All unmarried ballplayers in all leagues, between the ages of twenty and thirty will be in line to serve, and as practically all these can pass any* physical examination many may be taken before the season is over. And the War Department or the government isn't very likely to pause and figure what effect upon the pennant race any such move would have. An umpire, enlisting, would receive no great credit for bravery. He would more than probably be accused of seeking a softer, less dangerous job. But Not Always "The apparel," says Colonel Shakespeare, "oft proclaims the man." Oft ■ —but not always. A certain well-dressed golfer in one of the Southern cities went to Au gusta, Ga., for a few days. Before leaving he purchased a new, glittering i golf outfit well beyond the ordinary. His clothes were 3 up on par. At the end of the ninth hole a dusky young caddie approached the golfer's equally dusky club bearer. "Yo' man," said the former, "sho' do dress like a golfer." "But he sho' Gawd don't play like one," was the caddie's rejoinder, who had witnessed the first nine holes. A baseball season opening with Hans Wagner retired, Nap Lajole in the minors and John J. Evers off the firing line is a baseball season, in name only. It doesn't sound like the same old melody. The Only Way The action of the golf, tennis and general athletic committee in abolish ing all championship way through the duration of the war was the only possible way to handle the situation. A championship won by some player left behind, with many leading com petitors away on military duty, would be less than nothing to look forward to. There can be exhibition matches and tournaments for patriotic pur poses, where many thousands can be raised for the lied Cross, the army or the navy. There will be a sufficient number of these competitions to keep all games j moving forward. I But a championship is another matter. There will undoubtedly be sev eral leading players in both golf and tennis unable to compete. It would not be fair to these —not fair to the game—to have the title awarded in I their absence. i Those in authority in both games are now making plans to raise Red Cross funds by coming competitions. There are various other ways to raise funds which different tournament committees should take up at the ! earliest possible moment. PLOUGH CORNELL FIELD FOR CROPS Ithaca, N. Y„ April 25. Where Cornell's fielders were expected to dig grounders out of the earth this spring, the Cornell University Ath letic Asscoiation hopes to dig wealth this season in the way of potatoes. It was decided to-nay to plough up the 'varsity baseball diamond on Alumni Field and plant a bumper crop for town use. Sensational Bird Match to Take Place Wednesday Senator Harry L. 'Washer, York, and Senator David Martin, Philadel phia, were scheduled to shoot for the championship of Capital Hill yes terday on the grounds of the Harris- Sportsman'setoardlotlun t aounta burg Sportsman's Club, Second and Division streets, but the weather conditions did not suit the senators and they postponed the match until Wednesday of next week, on the same grounds. A large cr®wd had assembled to watch the senators drop the birds and were disappoirtcd when the match was postponed. They were given a good exhibition of livebird shooting when members of the club gave an exhibition shoot. Hepler carried off honors dropping 24 out of 25 birds. Following the livebird match a number of gunners tried their aim at the clay. Stewart wits high gun, greaking 111 out of 125. SIGNS PITCHER MATTESON Elmira, N. Y., April 25. —Manager Jimmy Jackson announced that he had signed Pitcher Mattcson for the local New York State Leßgue. He is a Philadelphia boy and was once with the Phillies. They sold him to the Syracuse team at the bes'n ing of last season but he refused to report. He was assumed to be a free agent and Jackson got his sig nature to a contract. It is believed that Mike O'Neill will put in a claim for him. HARVEY WINNER OVER RIVERS By Associated Press New York. April 25. —Johnny Harvey, of this city, knocked out Joe Rivers, of Lps Angeles, in the seventh round of a ten-round match here last night. Harvey weighed 137 pounds and Rivers 138%. Both boys fought at a fast pace. In the seventh round Rivers took a count of nine after receiving a hard left to the jftw. He arose and covered, but was again beaten down. Dean Mann of the college of agri culture has been put in charge of the work, and the superintendent of grounds will attend to details. No definite plans have been work ed out for the inter-class and inter fraternity series of athletics that will keep sports going at Cornell until college ends. MARYSVILLE WANTS PITCHER A strong pitcher who has had some experience is wanted by the Marysville baseball club of the Dauphin-Perry League. League plays one game a week and position is secured for players paying from S7O to S9O a month, with extra money for game. Address Harry Stees, 2112 North Fourth street. JOHNNY DUNDEE WINNER By Associated I'ress New York. April 25.—Johnny Dundee, of this city, was an easy winner over Tommy Tuohey, of Pat erson, N. J., in a ten-round bout in Brooklyn last night. Dundee weigh ed 132 pounds and Tuohey 131.
