CHARLEY MITCHELL, ENGLAND'S FAMOUS FIGHTER, DIES --- COLLEGE TEAMS START ENGLAND'S RING CHAMPION DIES; HIS FIRST FIGHT Great Draw With John L. Sul livan; Bare Knuckle Bat tle; Boxing History How. England, April 4.—Great greatest ring battler, Char 'ley Mitchell, is dead. He was one time middleweight champion of Eng land. Death was due to locomotor ataxia. Mitchell was born at Birmingham, England, November 24, IS6I. Al though he fought many ring battles against big men like Sullivan, Cor bett, Cardiff, McCaffery, Kilrain and Rurke, Mitchell was a middleweight puglUst, never turning the scales at more than 154 pounds when in per fect cpndition. His remarkably footwork and skillful boxing offset; this disadvantage in weight, and he pryed to be equally effective as a punisher when lighting cither with or without padded gloves. First King Battle Mitchell's first ring battle was with bare knuckles when at the age of IS. lie knocked out Bob Cunningham at Birmingham, the bout lasting almost one hour. He scored several other victories during the two following years In bouts in England and on the continent. After winning the middleweight and heavyweight championships of England in 18S2, Mitchell came to America in ISS3 with the intention of challenging John L. Sullivan. The stature of the "Brunimagen Lad." as he was then called, did not impress the American followers of pugilism, but when Mitchell met and defeated Mike Cleary, a New York heavy weight, in three rounds, he was quickly accepted as an opponent for Sullivan. These two met at the Madi son Square Garden in a four-round stove fight under Marquis of Queens- berry rules, on May 14, 1883. The British boxer surprised the 12,000 spectators by meeting Sullivan's ter rific rushes in the opening rounds, and after some heavy exchanges he scored a clean knockdown with a perfectly-timed right smash to Sul livan's jaw, sending the Boston man to the ring floor amid the wildest excitement. Sulll\an's First Knockdown This was Sullivan's first experience of a knockdown by an opponent, and it happened toward the close of the first round. Sullivan rushed and toughed the visitor during the sec ond round and threw Mitchell over the ropes twU'e. Sullivan, with loft .swings to the jaw, knocked Mitchell flown twice in the third round, and with another left he had Mitchell hanging over the ropes when the police stonped the bout. Mite always insisted that liej wou'.„ have been able to continue had the police not interfered, and; he never ceased to challenge Sullivan; until the latter consented to another encounter, which took place five | years later at Chantiliy, France, on March 10, 18S8. This w;as Mitchell's greatest ring | effort. They fought with bare knuckles for $2,500 a side, and the bout lasted three hours and 11 min j.;ites. Mitchell drew first blood in the round, but Sullivan pot the credit of the only knockdown during the fight, which was declared a draw by Referee £5. J. Angle, of London. After James J. Corbett had won the world's championship from Sul livan in 1892, Mitchell challenged him for the title, and at Jackson ville, Fla.. on January 25, 1594, Cor bett knocked out the Englishman in the third round. This was Mitchell's last fight in the ring, as he returned to England and engaged in business there up to the time of his demise. Letter Teams Show Fast Race in Cage Contest In the V. M. C.

COLLEGE TE AMS I START BASEBALL This Week's Schedule In cludes Important Con tests in East X'env York, April 4.—Although there are not as many baseball games scheduled for decision by the eastern college and university teams this season as in normal years, there will be close to 300 contests played during'the next three months, wea ther permitting. About ninety per cent, of tlie institutions wliifch have supported 'varsity nines in past : years will be represented upon the diamond, but the usual lists of twen- j ty to thirty games have been cut, in many cases, to about half this num- j ber. The season was scheduled to open yesterday with Lehigh playing the j Army at West Point, and Holy Cross ; battling with the Navy at Annapolis, j The leading universities of the sec- I tion will put combinations in the i field and in some instances outdoor J practice, and a few games already i have been played. Reports from the various college centers, however, in dicate that there is a dearth of the | usual large squads of candidates, and the play is hardly expected to reach the high standard that has - marked j this department of intercollegiate | sport competition in recent seasons. Two-Game Scries ; Tn many cases the regular three- j j game series between old-time rivals have been reduced to two and no j j provision made for a third contest should the teams break even in the j ; two matches scheduled. Wdenesdayg and Saturdays are the i favorite days for staging these col ! lege games, although almost every j day of the week, except Sunday, finds 1 a few scheduled. The greatest num < ber of matches are planned for May I and very few of the college teams j will continue play after the first | week of June. The schedule for , balance of the week follows: To-day: at Baltin ore, Md., Ford- j j ham vs. St. Joseph's College: at New , York. Holy Cross vs. Columbia, j To-morrow at South Orange, X.

GAMES TO COME WHEN WAR ENDS Boxing With Wrestling Shows Increase in Popularity; Grenade Throwing After the war is over, what effect will It have had on sports in gen eral? This is a question which fre quently is being discussed in ath letic circles and the answers are as varied as the number of men who try to announce a conclusion. It is generally conceded that the war in fluence will be apparent. In the first place,, boxing and wrestling are expected to receive more attention after peace is de clared than they ever had before the outbreak of hostilities. Hundreds of men who never had on a boxing glove or could not tell the difference be tween a half-Nelson or the toe-liold have become Interested in these lines of sport through the Instruction which they have received in the var ious military training camps. Boxing More Popular Followers of pugilism are unanimous that much of the od ium which has rested on this sport in the past will pass away in view of the stamp of approval the United States government lias placed on it as a desirable accomplishment for the soldier. In fact, in a number of states where the law forbids boxing or permits it only under certain rigid restrictions, there already is talk of preparing the way to make the laws in this connection less severe and thus give the sport more latitude. Javelin Throwing Many believe that javelin throw ins, which is among the latest events added to athletic schedules, will bo followed by a bomb throwing event, both for distance and accuracy, as a regular post-war feature. This event already has been added to several programs about the country and is practically on every athletic meet program scheduled among the sol diers. The recent decision of certain camp athletic directors to eliminate from their programs such events as are not likely to be helpful in some way to the lighting man is expected by some to be the forerunner of a number of changes in the present list of events. Shot putting and hammer throwing virtually have been eliminated by the soldier pro gram by the bomb throwing. These two events are said to be of no practical value in the training of the lighting man. Trench Tossers Win; Bombs Also Victorious In th*> Y. M. C. A.
