After the Johnson and Jeffri* af fair at Reno the Legislature missed a drastic anti-boxing law, grew out of the distaste of tlft citi zens for contests between whites and blacks. The humiliating defeat that Jeffries suffered at the hands of the giant negro was not relished by the patrons of boxing in that state. As the present bill contains a clause for bidding matches between blacks and whites, it appears that the objection to mixed matches still exists in that state. Although Nevada is a long dis tance from the large cities of the east, Rickard doubtless holds that the lure of a 25-round bout without danger of interference will draw boxing enthusiasts from all over the country. Willard Has Fought in Nevada Willard already has fought one battle at Reno, and should feel quite at home Uiere. He boxed a bout with a chap named A 1 Williams at Reno July 4, 1913, and won in the eighth round. Dempsey has boxed in many places in. the west, but not in Nevada, and if he faces Willard there it will be his first fight in state. Of the heavyweight bouts in which the title has changed hands Louisi ana has had two, Sullivan-Ryan and Corbett-Sulllvan; Nevada has had two, Fitz-Corbett, Jefferies-Johnson; New Cork has had one, Jeffries- Fitz; Australia one, Johnson-Burns, and Cuba one, Willard-Johnson. California, which produced two champions, saw Jeff twice defend his title, while Corbett's only cham pionship match on the coast was as a challenger of Jeff. Coney Island has had three heavy weight cnampionship fights, Jef fries-Fitzsimmons, Sharkey-Jeffries and Corbett-Jeffries.

"TtT" MUAT N* TWPfT i Historic Battle When Tech Meets Lebanon The best scholastic basketball contest of the season is scheduled for Friday night at Chestnut Street Auditoflum when Lebanon High school will send the Red and Blue squad, at present leading the league, against the Tech High school five. While it takes more than two swal lows to make a summer, it takes just two players to make a champion team according to the l.ebanon dope. Lebanon is leading the lea gue with Roadfng, and is making its record on the playing of two men. Quinn at forward is the leading scorer of the Central Penn circuit. He has a knack of tossing fouls that gives him the honor. But when Quinn runs up against "•Hennie" Kohlman, the Tech boys'say that Quinn will change his name to quince. The Tech sophomore knows something too about chucking fouls, and is sure to show the Lebanon lad how to perform from the 15-foot mark. The othee star performer on the visiting teaih will be "Poss" Miller, alias "Red."

Pittsburgh, Feb. 24.—Johnny Dun dee, of Nhw York, won by .a slight margin in ten rounds here to-night with Johnny Ray, of Pittsburgh. Ray tried hard for a knockout from the outset, using slugging tactics. The New Yorker took advantage of this and by clever boxing, won six rounds of the ten on points. There seems to be a lot of discus sion regarding the referee for the tVlllard-Demijsey fight. Other fea tures about the muss having been i used up the referee question now seems to be the leading factor in keeping the flglit before the vorac lo\A boxing fans. Some of the sug gestions regarding candidates for the job fail to take into consideration the fact that any man who is to ref eree a twenty-round fight under a July sun yvill have to be able to stand j the gaff. It also must be appre- | ciatcd that men cannot qualify only I on past performances as fighters. I This should eliminate Jim Jeffries and Jim Corbett. The question really is not very vital, just as long as the referee is a professional referee, of known honesty and ability. The fight is likely to end in a knockout-any way, and even if it should go the limit there would be little trouble in naming the winner. Dompsey said the other day, "X don't care who ref erees, just as long as he can count ten." That's about it. READING WELCOMES O'BRIE.V Reading, Feb. 24.—Pimping along with tjie aiQl of a cane, Frankie O'Brien, the Reading lightweight pugilist, who was wounded in France, was given a rousing recep tion by his friends to-day when he returned home unexpectedly for a forty-eight hour furlqugh. O'Brien's right thigh was badly cut by flying shrapnel, but he expects to recover the free use of the leg. In fact, he has not given up hope of returning to ttyfc ring when the wound is en tirely healed. M'LEAN'S GREAT DRIVE PinehurNt, N. C„ Feb. 24.—The best round that has been played on the Number Three course at Pineliurst for a long time past was made to day by George McLean, the Great Neck professional who finished in 35-35-70. Playing for the 15th, 300 yards, McLean reached the green on his drive.

Sutherland, formerly a star guard on the University of Pittsburgh football team, has been appointed coach of the Lafayette College eleven for next season.

Dr. Sutherland will begin his duties at Lafayette early next fall.

If Tech wins it will be half a game behind Reading for the lead, and .Lebanon will, go to second place. Should Lebanon be victorious, the visitors will have undisputed pos session of first place and it will be good-by to the pennant for the Ma roon players. In addition to the championship game, there will be a class league affair and the usual dancing fol lowing the basketball. Faculty Director Grubb, with the assistance of Manager "Buss" Sny der, is slowly preparing a schedule for the football team of next fall. To date Tech will go to Greensburg for the annual contest. Another trip will be to where the academy eleven will be met. Leba non High school will visit this city, as will also Bethlehem Prep. Down from York State will journey Flush ing High school. The Hudson river lads know something about the pig skin game. Whether they can tell Tech anything remains to be seen. They were champions of New York state last season hud made a great ' record. What Reading Says About Friday's Game Reading, Pa., Feb. 2 s.—'While Reading High lost at Lebanon last week, the defeat does not kill the Red and Black basketball team's chances for the Central Scholas tic League race. Lebanon is tied with Reading for first place, but the former is not counted on as a pennant contender, as the odds ai4; two to one that the locals and Harrisburg Tech will end the struggle in a deadlock. Reading has a league game this week and it will be at Steel ton Saturday night. This should be a victory for Reading, as Steel ton does not class the locals, al though basketball is so uncertain that there is no telling what may happen. It is remembered that three years ago Reading lost at Steelton, when the locals had.the pennant cUnched.and at that time Steelton f>ad the weakest team of the league. It is almost certain that Leba non will not be in it at the finish unless they turn the unexpected by beating Harrisburg or Read ing on either floor and winning all the rest of their games. Al lentown may be the team to upset the dope, us they play sterling basketball on their own floor. The peanut town team beat Leba non by nine points and are liable to repeat over Harrisburg. Read ing beat Allentown on the lat ter's floor by live points and were fortunate in playing them early in the season, as they are going at a good pace now. The locals must beat Harris burg on tne letter's floor to clinch the pennant, providing they beat Steelton and also win the remain ing home games. Harrisburg and Reading can still afford to lose one game and yet be tied at the end of the race, .while Lebanon must beat either team away from home to tie, which is almost an impossibility. His signed contract has been re ceived from Savannah, Ga., where he is living. Jackson's desertion brought forth criticism from Charles A. Comiskey, president of the club. Jackson's de parturo was followed by that of Felsch, Williams and Lynn. Felsch and Lynn have returned their signed contracts. GIANTS IN LINE Ross Voung, the Giants' right fielder, who was one of the real finds of baseball last season, has signed his contract and Baird, the promis ing infielder from Louisiana, has also signed up for the season. Secretary John B. Foster said last night that there was no real holdouts on the club, and that h e expected that the whole squad will be in the fold at the end of this week. Chase's con tract is expected early in the week. The Giants now have more players under contract than any other major league club, and Manager McGraw says that the outlook for his team is more encouraging than in many seasons. With Fletcher, Kauff, Mc- Carty, Benton, Young and George Smith and several of the youngsters in line, the club has ceased to worry about holdouts.
