Moran’s last service was on the presidential yacht Mayflower, under former Pres- ident Rooseveit. The New York Athletic club has responded to the call for preparedness. Plans have been completed by the board of governors for the formation of two divisions of members for mil- itary and ‘physical training drills, which will be held in the gymnasium under the direction of officers of the United States army. One division wil] be formed of those members eligible for active service, while the other will be for older men, who may be called upon to serve in the Home Defense League and simiar organiza- tions. Notices of the formeation of the divisions will be mailed to every club member at once.

Albany, April 13.—Members of the assembly who are fighting to defeat the Davis bill, which proposes to re- peal the boxing law, found great en- couragement today in the announce- ment that no action in that matter would be taken this week. After many postponements it had ! been expected that the bill come up for third reading last Mon- day night. It then was announced that it would be taken up last night but there was no legislative session. The bill now is schedyied to come up next Tuesday, but it may be with- drawn. There is practically no sentiment in favor of the repeal of the boxing law either in the assembly or the senate. If Gov. Whitman sends word that he will consent to give the sport another chance the bill will be dropped and Senator Slater will withdraw his bill THE FRUITS OF FOLLY Present Weather Strengthens Argu- ment of Those Disapproving of Early Opening of Baseball Season.

Year after year the major leagues send their teams south to train in hot weather, fetch them back to the frigid zone before the winter is over and then, after hous- ing up the athletes for a week or 10 days, invite their patrons to risk pneumonia to sge a congealed brand of baseball.

There |is only one opening day crowd, and it is never a very big one, when the home team ‘has been seen in action before the championship season begins. In the early days of the American league the schedules called for 140 games and the season opened about April 2. The bad weather often lingers until after May 1, but to open on April 11 insures a number of post- poned games and sows the seed of double-headers.
