Moran states that he expects to put the champion away in- side of ten rounds.

RIVERVIEW BOUTS Captain Hurley Somnds Death Knell to East Hartford Boxing Hartford, Feb. 18.—Boxing re- ceived a severe setback in East Hart- ford last evening when Captain Robert Hurley of the state police department climbed through the ropes during the third round of the Jack Kershaw-One Round Nolan fight, and exerci ing his authority he ordered the exhibition stopped. The action of the minion ot the law came as a bolt from the blue to the 1,200 spectators, who received the announcement of the referee quietly and filed from the hall al- though there was a few “hisses” and “catcalls.” At the time of the action by the of- ficer Kershow was in bade shape, bor- dering on a K. O. Hurley said later that he was sorry to have been forced to take action as he held no scruples against boxing, but he had been sent to the hall with complete instructions, He said that Kershaw appeared to be outclassed and to have no chance with his stronger and better trained oppon- ent. Early in the evening it was noiscd about that a member of the state po- lice was present in the hall, and for this Teason the announcer pleaded to the crowd to maintain good order. Several times during the night, “Roar- ing Red” Rorty protested against any undue demonstration. Prior to Hur- ley’s action, Dave Palitz and Joe Shea of Waterbury, talked with the official in an attempt to persuade him that both men were capable of standing the punishment that was being inflicled, but “Bob” refused to “be showed.” To the spectators who do not enter- tain a greed for gore, the action of the state official was a humanitarian one, as it appeared as if the local boxer was doomed for terrible walloping and finish the inevitable. From unauthentic sources it is r turns some trick that causes even the patient authorities to frown on exhibitions. The scheduled preliminaries were staged as carded, Kid Barbour of \Va terbury shading Bobby Reimer ot South Manchtster and Joe Ryan of New Britain and Joe Rocco of Hart- ford boxin ga draw with the hoy from the Hardware City showing the more willingness to put up an acceptable exhibition. such BAKER SHOWS HIS WARES, William Baker, the “St. Louis Kid” gave an exhibition of fancy pool and billiard shots at the Elks club last ave- ning before a large audience. His work was of a stellar order and he executed each shot with skill and dexterity. During the evening, ‘“Charlie” Gugel elected himself to show the champ up at pocket billiards, but ala: Charlie will have to be satisfied with honor of being the Elks champion, as the visitor secured a ‘“hard earned vic- tory over him. STAGE A COMEBACK Manager Pilz’'s Quintet Does Things to Capitol City Team in Decisive Manner. Having recovered from the recent defeat administered by the military boys, the New Boys' club quintet handed a sound trimming to the Pirate A. C., five of Hartford last evening in the local club gym- The boys from up the state were outclassed from the outset. Kalgren, center for the locals was in fine shape, shooting 9 baskets from the floor. Captain Polson and Camp- bell also put up a fast game. For the losers Leland and were the principal point getters. A fast game is promised for Thursday evening in this city, when Manager Pilz has arranged for the Tmperial A. C. team of Meriden to give -battle with his pets. The Silver City boys have a fine record this season and the locals will have to step some to defeat them. The score and summary: Britain nasium, score 48 to 24. next mored that the local Federation of Churches are at the bottom of last evening’s fiasco, and to many it is ac- cepted as the finish of boxing in the town across the bridge for this season at least. Coming on top of the bad mess caused by Mr, Gunning the eve- ning previous when he refused to al- low his “phony champ” Waltz to go on with Johnny Hayes of New York it is safe to assume that the lovers of the game In this city have had abonut their fill.

WENCK VOTED DOWN Decisions Not To Allowed Black-Whites Rickard Gets March New York, Feb. 18.—Unless party registers a knockout, the ten round bout between Jess Willard and Frank Moran in Madison Square Ga den the night of March will hav no bearing on the record of either pugilist. The last faint hope that a referee’s decision might widen possibility of a change of ownership to the title was snuffed out at ve terday’s meeting of the State Athletic Commission in the Park Row offices. Frederick A, Wenck, chairman of the commission, had been trying for several months to elevate the manly art. He thought ten round decision bouts would add interest to all glove contests. He thought further that colored pugllists should be allowed to box with the whites. Commission- ers Dwyer and Franey held opposite views. When Wenck presented his pet amendments they promptly voted him down by a count of two to one. This final decision came during discussion of the new rules of hox ing, which have occupied the atten- tion of the Commissioners since the first of the year. The rules will be announced within the course of few day The manager of Shamus O'Brien of Syracuse appeared before the commis- sion to press charges against Leonard. Tt was alleged that Leonard wore hard bandages that did not con- form to the boxing laws. Tt iwas shown that the referee had found the bandages to be quite proper, so the case was dismissed. Unless Willard suffers an unexpect- ed relapse the big contest will be on March 25. Tex Rickard took over vesterday afternoon the lease for that date which Jack Curley and Harry Pollock held on Madison Square Gar. den. Tom Jones wired from Chicago vesterday that Willard had improvea greatly and that he should be able to leave for New York some time early next week. Bo Remain And 25. 5 a Boise, Tdaho, Feb. 18.—The body of Tom Seymour, a former National League baseball player was found Monday on a trail leading from Long Valley west to the mountains, ac- cording to word received here yester- day. He started from his home ten days ago for a mine in which he was interested. Death was due to expo- sure. He was 47 years ago. NOT FOR YALE.
