Average Reade SPORTDOM SPARKLERS Dave Medar, the New York light- weight, decisively outpointed Harry Williams of New Haven in the star bout of 12 rounds staged before the Royal A. C. last night. The shifty New Yorker was far to speedy and clever for Williams, who exhibited flashes of his od-time form 'in only two of the rounds. Medar merely stood «off and hit the local Italian when and where he chose, but took especial pains to see that he did no fighting at close quarters. Medar used a lightning left hand with good ef: fect, piling up point after point from the clang.of the bell in the opening round. ‘Medar was entitled to honors in eight of the rounds, two went Willlams, while two were about even- ly distributed. Announcement was made last night that tentative arrangements have been -made for a duckpin series be- tween the New Haven and Waterbury teams to determine the championship of the state. Waterbury recently disposed of Bridgeport and Hartford in home and home series. The probable, lineup of the team has not been decided upon, as yet, but. will probably include such starts as Charles Johnson, Porto, Ar- dolino, Kerr and Griffing. D Jim Plerson, matchmaker of the Ryan A. C., last night announced that the Young McAuliffe-Al Schubert bout will be staged at the Arena on the night of March 29, instead of the 30th, as was already announced. The change was made at the request of McAuliffe. . Pierson is endeavoring to land Ma- lone, the Washington Glee .club foot- ball star, to meet George Connolly in the semi-final bout. ‘The Pinehurst championship tennis tournament was brought to an end vesterday by the playing of the final contest in mixed doubles and the wo- men’s singles. Miss Caroline Bogart, ENzabeth Town and Country club, and Miss Elinor Gates, Nassan Coun- try club, were opposed to each other {in hoth events. | In the mixed doubles Miss Bogart and her partner, Jack Latting, Lo- cust Valley, defeated. Miss Gates and R. A. Balfe, South Shore club, 6-4-6-4. Later on in the day Miss Bogart won the singles trophy, by defeating { Miss Gates in the final match, 6-4, 6-4. The infield division of the Giants was reinforced yesterday by Howard Baker, the mysterious third baseman, who quit baseball a year ago to make munitions and then. made a surrep- titlous return when John J. McGraw ‘was not looking. Baker was a draft- ed man and might have had an ex- cellent chance to make the New York team last year when third base- men were in demand: He passed up his chance, however, and later went to . work in a munition, factory in dgeport. He played baseball at for vecreation, but later became a member of the New Haven ' team of the Eastern league. Earl C. Ainsworth, a recruit pitcher, was released by the Chicago Ameri- cans yesterday to Richmond of the Central league. Frederick ‘W. Rubien, secretary- treasurer of the Amateur Athletic Union, declared vesterday he felt cer- tain that the new world indoor time of 312-5 seconds made by Andy Kelly, of Holy Cross College, in the 300-yard run last Saturday would pass muster before the record committee. It was remarked that the unprece- dented feat of Kelly would go for naught, as the lanes in which the athletes completed Were not separated by wooden borders. Mr. Rubien had something to say on this matter. A tidewater course along the shore of the Nahant Peninsula will be marked out for the national amateur. rowing championships, which have been awarded to Lynn,” Mass. The races will be held on July 27 and 28. In most of the previous national com- Detitions the course has been in fresh water. The oarsmen will find this wa- ter, extending from the Lynn Yacht club basin to Bass Point, well pro- tected and suitable for rowing except in the stormiest conditions. The Har- vard ‘varsity crews are now using it for their early training. Norman S. Ross, the newest swim- ming sensation of the Pacific Coast, reported to the Amateur Athletic Union yesterflay that he had left San Francisco for New York to take part in the 220-yard national title swim. The contest will be held at the New York Athletic club, Mafrch 27. Among Ross’ rivals will- be Teddy Cann and Hal Vollmer. Ross will. also be a competitor in the 500-yard title swim, to be held at Detroit, March 31. The Coast boy jumped into prominence re- cently by finishing close behind Perry McGillivray and Ludy Langer in & furlong swim in Honolulu, which was covered in the fast time of 2:24 1-5. Orson Kinney, one of the best basketball players that ever repre- sented the Blue was unanimously elected captain of the Yale team for next season at the annual banquet held at Hotel Taft last night. No other candidate was mentioned for 'the honor. 5 Ted Lewis made short work of Wil- lie (K. O.) Moore, of Philadelphia, when he knocked out the Quaker boxer in the first round of their scheduled ten-round bout at the Pal- ace Sporting club last nighti The bout lasted exactly -one minute and twenty seconds, with Lewis doing all the fighting during this time. Moore went down from a right to the stomach, and upon arising was driven against the ropes. The referee then intervened.

[} The Yankee regulars lashed out with punishing bats yesterday, at Ma- con, Ga., and won a close and aggres- sively fought game with the second team by 7 to 6. They needed a run in the ninth inning to win, and they made it. The tally resulted from hits by Pipp and Peck, who led the foray with three smashes each, and the weak first-base playing of Baumann, who made one wild throw and didn’t show much interest in a burning grounder which Pipp drove past him. Dartmouth college students will have a coursé in military training for the rest of the academic year. ' DODGERS REJECT PLAN Brooklyn Players Claiming to Be Pa- triotic, Votc Against Military Train- ing Plan Adopted by Other Teamgs. Hot Springs, Ark., March 20.—With Stengel and Wheat at practice yes- terday morning the Dodgers looked like a 26 per cent. stronger ball team. ‘Wheat took his old position in left field and Stengel played center. The game was abbreviated, lasting only six innings, the victory going to Mil- kr's team by 4 to 1. At a meeting of the players, held ifu their hotel yesterday, they took a vote on the military training ques- tion, and it was defeated overwhelm- ingly. Although' they all declared they - were patriotic, they considered that, Inasmuch as they had only a sveek more to remain here, in that time they could hardly legrn the rudi- mentary part of warfare. , % A 'vote of thanks was tendered to Sergeant Major Jesse Trontgla for his offer to drill the Dodgers. Buck ‘Wheat has had only one con- ference with President Ebbets sinte his arrival on Saturday, but nothing came of the talk, bbth player and owner refusing to move an inch. It would not be surprising if Wheat Teft for his home in a few days if there iy no new development in his case. Stengel also has only seen Ebbets once since his arrival, and then only a friendly greeting was exchanged. Keeley’s Garage Elm and Frazklin Streets. Dealer for Overland and Cole Cars.

The Lenox A.

Topping the list in Tommy Carson aend Sammy ‘Waite, in the mill that has been dis- cussed through the press for several months. The boys have agreed: to face each other in a fifteen round mill. Carson is highly touted, and his back- ers and friends are confident that the sleeping potion will be handed out be- fore the clang of the bell for the last round. There are very few fight fans in this section, who are not acquaint- ed with Waltz's prowess. In- the semi-final, a recent acquisi- tion to the candidates for a place on the Hardware city voting list in the person of Bobby Reimer, will mingle with Dave Medar for twelve rounds. Reimer has had considerable experi- ence about the state and is looked upon as the logical opponent for Champion Kunz of South Norwalk for the lightweight title. In Medar, he will meet a boy who is lightning fast, and at present fighting at top speed. Recent victories in the Elm chty stamp Medar as among the top notch- ers in the 133-pound class.

The addition of Rod- man, de Cerhea, Potter, Stanley, Otis and “Niles of last season’s freshman team, has given it a wealth of new material, and the fact that Johnny Overton and Johnny Farwell, the all-round stars of the team, are in record breaking form in the distance runs and ‘hurdles, has added to its impressiveness. Yale has remarkably promising sprinting possibilities in de Cernea and Niles. Both have run close to even time in the 100 vards and have clipped twenty-two seconds in the furlong ‘event. Heaten Treadway, to defeat KEddie Tescher of Harvard twice, but who scored fifth in the intercollegiates in the 100 vards and fourth in the 220- yard races, will figure heavily in all the Yale meets this Ricketts and Charley. Stewart are all point-scoring possibilities, 2 Yale will be weak in the middle- distance runs. . In the quarter-mile Davis . and Fennimore Cooper are dual meet possibilities, but uncertain in the Intercollegiate competition. Barker in the half-mile is the only EH possibility and he can hardly ‘hope for better than second in the dual meets and will run in his best form if he gets inside the scoring at the intercollegiates. Aside from Overton, Yale's dis- tance material is not impressive, al- though Stanley in the two-mile race is a_ possible point winner. In_-the [ fleld events Yale is unusually strong. Rodman and E. G. Grant in the high Jump are six-foot leapers. Grant is in the Broad event and G. E. Nichols for fwenty-one feet, six inches; B. J. Simonson of the freshman team last year is capable of twenty feet, six inches. Rodman may enter both jumps as a possibility for a point. Yale's traditional strength in the pole vault will be again displayed with Heyle and Nagle, each of whom is capable of clearing the bar at twelve feet. i Jim Braden, the football star, will ‘be ‘Yale's leading entry in the shot- put. He is capable of forty-five feet and 1s the logical winner of the event in both dual meets. He could score only fifth with this toss of the weight at the intercolleglates last year, but the competition this season is not likely to prove nearly so keen. Char- ley Taft, son of the ex-president, will begin training for this event at once. He has been occupied with his duties as captain of the Yale basketball team all the winter. Otis of last season's freshman team is the best hammer thrower in college, but has no mark better than 130 feej, Yale will rank low 4n this. ROBESON FEATURES Rochester Golfer Comes Through in Pinc Shape, Defeating Large Com- petitive Field in Pinehurst Golf. Pinehurst, N. C., March 20.—Irving 8. Robeson of the Oakhill club of Rochester gained the limelight on the Pinehurst links yesterday two min- vtes after he started playing golf and k't the spotlight turned in his di- rection throughout the rest of the day. Robeson made a long drive for the first holes on the No. 1 course at the start of the Tin Whistle's four- teen selected holes tourney yesterday morning, and followed it by an iron skot which reached green .and dropped into the cup for a brilllant 2. The first is a par 4 hole and has never been made in 2 before so far as the Pinehurst records show. Robeson completed the round in 36-41-77 and won chief prize of the day. A fleld of fifty players was pitted against him. He made his best fourteen holées in 63 with the aid of a handicap of three strokes. Incidentally he tled with Parker Whittemore of Brookline for the best gross round of the con- test. The Class B prise went to P. 8. McLaughlin ' of Scarsdale and to the Class C prize to J. B. Bowen of Phil- adelphia. In the afternoon, in partnership with Paul Gardner of Chicago, Robe- son played against Bobby Jones and Perry Adair of Atlanta on the Np. 3 cpurse. The Robeson-Gardner com- bination won by 2 to 1. Robeson turned in four threes in succession on the outward journey, including birdies on two of the four holes. Paul Gardner made the best round of the quartet, 356-39-74. Jones went around in 39-40-79, Robeson in 36- 44-30, Adair in 40-43-83, This was Jones' first introduction to course 3. 5 spring and | McGrath l ention=--- Robeson Clever at Golf |YALE TRACK TEAM |LANDERS QUINTET AGAIN A WINNER Skiner Chuck Company Bowlers o Are Solt Picking for Leaders Landers, Frary & Clark bowling quintet enhanced their chances for winning the Factory league chamdw pionship further last evening on the Aetna alleys, when the Skinner Chuck company five, went down to a triple defeat.
