EASTER! MEETING.

He said franchises would probably awarded, although he wag not certain what plans the di- rectors had in mind. Two more ap- pli for franchises have been received, but Mr, O'Rourke did not care to divulge details ai this time. Bridgeport club officials are in- censed at the action of the Boston Braves in trying to cancel the Sunday exhibition date for April 11. They have a chance to play in Jersey City jand want to pass up Bridgeport.

Until regent years the boxing game has been practically unknown in South America, and about the only ring contests staged in that continent have been pulled off by Iinglishmen and Irishmen and Yankees. The South American capitals, especially Buenos Ayres, are strong for following the Parisian styles, however, and the great vogue of “le boxe” in France has caused the lLatins of the southern half of the New World to sit up and take notice. It is not impossible, therefore, that South America may produce another world’s champion. Another? Sure. Today is the forty- third birthday of the first, last and only native of South America who has ever attained a pugilistic cham- pionship—Mr. Joseph Walcott. Joe was born April 7, 1872, in British Guiana, on the North coast of South America. Barbados, one of the Wind- ward Islands, is often given as Joe's birthplace, and in his ring days he was called “the Barbados Demon,” but Joe himself is authority for the statement that he made his debut on the mainland of the southern contin- ent. Joe has another distinction in that his ring career is the longest in mod- ern pugllistic annals. In fact, Joc is probably entitled to the record for sticking in the biff game. His pugil- istic career is usually given as begin- ning in 1890 and ending in 1911, but the Giant Killer started as a boxer in 1887, when he was only fifteen, and he fought in the ring as recently as last year. That makes twenty-seven vears as a scraper, which puts Jos- eph far in the lead of even such vet erans as Kid McCoy, with his twenty annums in the ring, and Jack (Twin) Sullivan, who is still able to put up a pretty nifty rookus after seventeen years in the game. Walcott wanted to fight in New York last year, but the boxing com- mission put the kibosh on his aspir ations on the ground that he was too patriarchal. “Lawsy,” said Joe, “them c'mishunahs done been bugs. could lick that man in just punches—no mo’, jus' three.” mebbe he could. Of all the physical freaks who ever won high honors in the rings, Joe was about the limit. He is only an inch and a half over five feet in height vet he whipped Joe C(hoynski, fthe great Jewlsh heavywelght, who stood nearly six feet, and thus earned the name of “the Giant Killer." Joe was welterweight champion of the world from 1901 to 1906. If he hadn’t shot several fingers off one of his hand while displaying his new gun at a da key party, he might have been cham- pion yet. The passing of Walcott practically marked the end of welterweight division as a live attrac- three 18| I8, 9. April 16, 17, 18,19. June2 July 4, 10, 11, Aug. 2. Sept. 5. Oct. 3.

In Walcott's day the welters included some of the greatest boxers America has ever had, including Tommy Ryan Kid McCoy, “Mysterious Billy"” Smith, Danny Needham, Matty Matthews, George Green, Rube Ierns, and others al- most equally prominent. Only one man ever got Joe's goat. That was Tommy West, the littla ‘Welshman. Although he was never a champion, Tommy had the Demon’s number, and Joe finally got so he was scared to death of the Welshman. They fought first in 1896, and Joe was lucky to get a draw. The next year Tommy whipped him in twenty rounds, and in 1900 Tommy stopped the Giant Killer in eleven rounds. In appearance Joe was a sort of pocket edition of Sam Langford, and he adopted much the same fighting tactics as thase used so successfully by the Nova Scotia black. YALE DOWN PENN, Haven College Shows Round Superiority, New Al April 7. ty of game, 5 to 2, yesterday, A Pennsylvania rally in the inning, when it practic- ally knocked “Lefty’” Underwood from tiae mound, gave it its two runs. Way replaced Underwood after two Penn- sylvanin. men had scored, and the tallies stopped right there. Speilman, who started on the hill for Pennsylvania, proved easy pick- ing for Yale batters. They hit safe- ly in the first and second innings without scoring, but In the third they succeeded in getting four hits and, coupled wtih some ragged fielding, they put three men across. Yale scored again in the fifth, when Bush drew a pass, stole second and came home on Hunter's single, Melburn's single to left, two successive passes and Bush's hit to short left gave Yale its final run in the ninth.

This was the third and Iast battle between the “Chocolate Drop,” and the cherubic 8wiss boy who after- ward became lightweight champion. At their first meeting, in 1895, Dixon and Erne fought a ten-round draw. The next year the Buffalo boy whipped Dixon in twenty rounds. Erne soon outgrew the featherweight class, and Dixon again claimed the title, but George was anxious for anoher chance at the Swiss. Dixon trained hard, but Erne was enamored of tho lights of Broadway and Coney Island and made little effort to get into con- dition. Dixon weighted 125 pounds, and Erne ten pounds more, but the latter was so fat and flabby that the negro outpointed him with ease. Erne then went after the lightweight hon- ofs. and in 1899 defeated Kid Lavigne and became champion. 1872—Joe Walcott, champion, America. 1898—Oscar Gardner knocked out George Stout in twelfth round at Columbus, Ohie. o former welter born in Demerara, South | directors | pany | sider Club in Three-H League NEW BRITAIN ENTERS THE THREE-H LEAGUE | James Hoar Will B¢ in Charge of Team From Ths iown New night meeti Britain in of the com Springfield, April 7 “placed Chicopee last Three-H league at a in the Alling Rubber store, which was culled to con- a schedule the coming sea “on A telephone call carly in the evening from Cal Dunn of Chicope announced that Chicopee would be a possibility the son, and the matter ering the Connecticut town was mediately talked The ing for New team Chicopee's only business John 17, Oates was on hand (o rep resent Windsor Locks, Michael Hickey appeared for Westtield, Skin- for Holyoke, George for ringfield, and W.
