12 VINCOME HERE FOR FINAL GAME WITH LOCAL INDEPENDENTS-BIG BENEFIT EVENT VINCOMEHERE FOR LAST TIME; ALL-STAR TEAM Visitors' Windup Will Stage Eastern League Pacemak ers; One More Event Basketball will get its semiwindup to-night at Chestnut Street Auditor ium where the local Independents will play against the Vincome five, of Philadelphia. Thera will be a great windup next week. George W. Mcllhenny, president of the local basketball association, is arranging for a Red Cross benefit as a closing feature. The attraction is likely to be,, Tech and the Independents. Vincome will be here to-night with five great stars, and it will be the last time this aggregation will be seen in action. Graff and Mac- Gregor, formerly of the Jasper East ern League team, will play forwards, Longstreet, the lanky center, who is known to all local fans, will jump center, while Zahn and Campbell, of the world champion Greystock team, will play the guard positions. Hard Game For Ixx'als This combination will be a hard proposition for the local Independ ents to conquer as the Vincome team has been playing together with this, lineup all season. This is the last game before the big game that will be staged next Saturday evening when the Independents and the Technical team clashes. The Independents have played and defeated the best teams of the coun try since Christmas, having lost but three games since that and they should give a good account of them selves to-night against this all-star aggregation. Dave McConnell and Ike McCord have fully recovered from the grip and will be in to night's fray. Dancing will follow the game. Vincome Independents Graff, f. N. Ford, f. McGregor, f. Wallower, f. Longstreet, c. McCord, c. Zahn, g. G. Ford, g. Campbell, g. McConnell, g. Charles Ebbets Will Not Stand in Larry Lajoie's Way Brooklyn, X. Y„ April K.—Charles Ebbets has decided not to stand in j_,arry Lajoie's way if the veteran ball-player cannot be persuaded to .ioin the Brooklyn club. The owner of the Dodgers still insists that La ioie is the property of the Brooklyn club, which purchased his release from the Toronto club in a perfectly legitimate manner, but if Barry has his heart set on managing the In- ; dianapolis club, Ebbets will grant ' his wish, in consideration of the veteran's long service in major league I baseball. Ebbets will not yield without an other effort to get the big French man to join his club. Lajoie's batt ing strength is badly needed by the Dodgers, now that Zach Wheat has refused to sign. The team has been none too strong on the offensive in its spring training games with the Bed Sox, which has all the more emphasized the need of a heavy hit ter like Bajoie, who led the Interna tional League by a comfortable margin last season. Before Bajoie can sign with the Indianapolis club he will have to re vert to Tronoto, and James C. Mc- Giil of Indianapolis, will have to open negotiations with James J. Me. Caffney, of Toronto, for Barry's re lease. McCaffrey will have re turn to Brooklyn the $3,000 purchase price, but probably will get as much from Indianapolis. Lajoie is said to have been offered SB,OOO a year by McGill to manage the lloosiers. fiOWLING Taylor-Kennedy league (Academv Alleys, Duckpins) Bears 609 640 620 Crescents 665 619 574 Martin (Bears) Martin (Bears) A* Tigers ll* r-s Senators 591 i>69 Mall (Tigers) Ji?

LAST OF THE OLD BARE-KNUCK SHOWING ONE OF t' WBT /?v ■~ e f.m * wv*sL < Jack McAuliffe, for years lightweight champion of the world, one of the very last of the old-time bare-knuckle fighters, is here shown il lustrating one of his deadly punches. Having sidestepped a left jab, he puts his right under the heart of his opponent. Within the past few months Mike Donovan, middleweight champion before McAuliffe was lightweight champion; John L. Sullivan, heavyweight champion, and Charley Mitchell, the British champion, have died. Perhaps Jim Corbett, ence heavyweight chapipion, and Kid ljivigne, once lightweight cham pion, are the only prominent men left who fought with bare knuokles. They did little of it. McAuliffe doesn't weigh 133 pounds any longer. He refused when this photo was taken to tell his weight, but it was some thing over 200 pounds.

Boxing in New Jersey; Commission Meets Today Atlantic City, April 6.—Governor Edge met the boxing commission to day in Trenton. The board to con trol the sport in New Jersey in cludes v John S. Smith, of Atlantic City, and formerly of Camden, who will probably be named chairman; W. E. Gann, of Elizabeth, and Ed ward S. Crain, of East Orange. The Governor expressed his views, and a general policy was outlined. An avalanche of petitions are ex pected for clubs throughout the state, but it is believed that only a limited number of licenses will be considered. The selection will be governed by conditions and prospec tive outlook for the field. Mayor Albert 11. Fisher, of Penns grove, is the first applicant for a license. Mayor Fisher is back by a large committee. The Pennsgrove petition will probably be considered at Trenton to-day. Atlantic City will likely support one good club. Com missioner.Smith has as yet received no direct bids, although out-of-town promoters have frequently in the past expressed their desire to come to the shore. The bouts must be held in the city proper, as a city or dinance prohibits boxing on the Boardwalk. This denies prospective promoters the four piers or the two large theaters. There are many big halls available, however, and it is not likely that the sport will in any way suffer from the restrictions.
