The former champion is in a Milwaukee sanitarium, suffering from a mental disease. Wolgast, former Johnny Kilbane and ‘Matt Brock, ‘boxers have been barred from par- ticipating in future ring contests in Minnesota, it was announced yester- day by the Minnesota boxing commis- pugilists; Jimmy Dunn, Kilbane's manager, and Dunn’s entire string of sion. The annodncement said the ac- tion was taken because Kilbane and Brock had decided to repudiate a contract to fight in June and instead will meet at Cleveland, April 19, It was announced at Ithaca yester- day by the athletic committee that the basebal]l and lacrosse teams would not go on their annual Southern . tour, which was to begin 'within a few days.

West Side favorites were badly treated at the Pioneer Sporting club in New York, last night, Young Reilly and Mike McTigue, both held in high esteem in that district, receiving de- cisive beatings. Jimmy Powers ad- ministered a more severe trouncing.to Reilly than that youngster has been treated to since his first meeting with Ray Rivers. McTigue was walloped/ by Bob McAllister till the beaten man hung his head outside the ring ropes, where the elongated Californian could not make a target of it. Both the encountérs went the limit of ten rounds, Claude R. Lewis, a balkline billiard player of Class C rating, who was an added starter in the handicap tourna- ment now in progress for the J. Fer- dinand Poggenburg memorial trophy, captured the first game in the final round robin started yesterday when he defeated George T. Moon, Jr., a Class B player and president of .the Na- tional Association of Amateur Billlard Players, under whose auspices the tournament is being held. Lewis won by 115 to 166, Moon failing to get the nine more points he needed to win.. It was 'the first game of the tournament that Moon has lost. Princeton lost its: third consecu- tive ball game this season, the Tigers being beaten by Holy Cross yesterday, 9 to 5. The Tigers, though defeated, broke into the run column for the first time this vear. Lee and Driggs scored in the first inning and put the team in the lead.

ARRIVE S AT DINBR T0_ CONTINUE. PLANS Cadets Will Continue With Bascball Schedule—Canoellation, Must. Come From Opponents. West Point, N. Y., April 4.—A dec- laration of war will not materidlly af- fact Army sports, it was said here vesterday. The Cadets have just launched their baseball season -and have twenty-odd games remaining on their schedule.' If there is any hitch in the regularly arranged program it must tome from the Army’s expectant opponents. Army folks say the war game is no new things to them, and sports are the soldiers’ only diversion. The ten- nis schedule, which this year includes several outside college teams, will go on as usual. o o . In case any of the Army’s prospec- tive opponents give up sports and cancel their scheduled game because of the war the Cadets will endeavor to schedule other teams to take their places. An early graduation of the first class, which has been decided upon, will take but one regular from the Army’s baseball squad. Gerhardt, third baseman and captain, is the only first class man who will graduate. Of course, the football season is so far off nothing definite can be said of the gridiron.game, but it is doubt- ful if the soldiers will alter their plans materially: . Just now the West Pointers drill on. every day-in the week except Satiirday and Sunday, but they also manage .to''find’ time - to squeeze a baseball game in on Wednes- day afternoons. At the conclusion of the baseball season, which is'shoft, the Cadets get down to their hardest practical work in the war game and keep it up all summer, so the ‘brief time permitted for competition in 7sporting events with other colleges is well deserved. AIRPLANE PROPAGANDA Rulgars Attempt to Cause Discontent Among Serbians by Furnishing Mis- information Concerning Revolution. London, April 4.-—A despatch to Reuter’s from army headquarters in Macedonia says that the Bulgarians have been dropping circulars into the Serbian lines from aircraft which state that “because of the discontent of the Russian people with the Anglo- French alllance and their ardent de- | sire for peace, & revolution has broken out in Russia which has overthrown all authority and the emperor.” The despatch says that the Serbian soldiers are fully informed as to the ‘causes of the Russian revolution and that Serbian aviators are now throw- ing circulars into the Bulgarian lines telling. the truth of the situation in Russia. BILLY BROWN HEADS NEW ORGANIZATION Popular Wine Clerk President oii Y{illiam J. Sullivan Association The first annual banquet of the William J, Sullivan association, was held last evening in Nick Laraia’s grill ! room, the occasion being the forma- tion of the association, and also a tes- timonial to Mr. Sullivan who is soon to leave this city to engage in business in Waterbury. Twelve persons cam- | prised the party, and the evening was |- one of the most enjoyable ever passed in the eating establishment on Spring street. Shortly before 9 o’clock the business . s¢ssion was opened, with John F. Willis, acting as temporary chairman. The, election of officers re- | President, Willlam J. Brown; sulted in the following being chosen: secre- tary, John ' J. Madigan; _treasurer, : TFelix’ Sagdrino; chaplain, William J. Curtin. Plans were outlined for a number of social events to be held Quring the summer. President Brown acted as toast- master at the post prandial exercises. Those responding were Secretary John Madigan, Treasurer Sagarino, “Charlie” Maloney, Jchn F. Willis, Joseph J. Woods, William J. Sullivan, Ted Cassel, William J. Curtin, and Jack Heery.. The poetical work of Mr, Heery was a decided hit with the boys, his Kipling and Emerson reci- tations being marvelous. Jack Madigan led the Peerless Trio through a ‘number of beautiful melodies. Charlie Maloney, whose fame as a story teller has travelled up and down the line, was in the pink of condition, and as a result there were no dull moments spent. Jo@ ‘Woods has in the past been noted for his ability as a yodler and’ when called upon _last evening, he lived up to it Frank Callins, whose best work is done along the terpsichorean lines, was -forced to break away from that kind of entertainment, he having left his favorite shoes to be “fixed,” but in substituting his mellow tenor voice, the party agreed that he made ne mistake. Frank’s seleptions created a riot of applause. ' “Boss” Sullivan told stories of various brands, and had not the law compelled the proprietor te close the place at a specified hour there is a sneaking suspicion lurking in’ the minds of the meinbers that he would be at it yet. | Johnny Willis, who sparts the nom { de plume, “Honest John,” gave, the affair a gilt edged finish when called | upon for remarks. Nick Larala, honorary member of the! club also spoke. The members showed their patriotism also, by renderingtHé Spangled Banner, with ‘Chaplain ‘Curtin leading. “Auld Lang - Syne" brought the party to a close, with the usual formalities being undergone. WITH THE GOLFERS . | Carter Keeps Up His Excellent Work at Pinehurst and Wins Qualifying Medal—Maxwell Does Better. Pinehurst, N. C., April 4.—In- the second eighteen holes of the thirty- six holes qualifying round in the Nerth and South amateur golf cham- plonship yesterday, Phil Carter, who finished in 71 yesterday and started, out yesterday with a lead of four strokes over the fleld, made the num- ber three course in 78, and won the qualifying medal with a total of 149 for the thirty-six holes. Ned Beall, of Uniontown, who occupled second place Monday night at 75, dropped behind yesterday and qualified in 160. His place in the race was taken by W. C. Fownes, Jr., of Pittsburgh, former national champion, who added a round of 38-35-78 yesterday on course three and finished with a total of 151, two strokes behind the meda- list. Norman H. Maxwell, of Philadel- phia, who surprised everybody ' by taking 86 to go around Monday, pulled himself together yesterday and turned in a 75, which permitted him to qualify easily enough in 161. S, jJ. Graham of Greenwich, also did better than Carter yesterday, and ar- {rived third in 77-77-154. | AMATEUR BOKING Elizabeth Boy Shows Marvelous Clev- erness in 115 Pound Class—Results in Several Other Clashes. Boston, April 4+.—To J. Tomasello of Elizabeth, N. J.,, went the honor of winning the first amateur title in the national championship boxing tournament in the Mechanics build- ing last night. 'Tomasello, who dis- played a world of cleverness, took the honors in the 115 pound class. In the final bout he defeated Dan Looney of Cambridge. Seven other titles were settled. One of the best bouts of the night found a Kaufman of New York, pres- ent middlewelght champion, de- throned by Eugene Brosseau of Mon- treal. The verdict was in the nature or a surprise, but was a clear cut vic- tory after three rounds of spirited milling. Sam Lagonia, also of New York, was the other semi-finalist in the 158-pound class. Other New York boxers who gained vlaces in the finals were Charley Beecher in the 126-pound class, James Sullivan in the 135-pound class, An- drew O’'Boyle in the 145-pound class and John Gaddl in the 175-pound class.
