Young McAuliffe, the Bridgeport featherweight announced that he will be unable to go through ' with his bout with Al Shubert *in Bridgeport the latter part of this month. Mack’s right hand has been giving him considerable trouble. since his recent bout with Battling Reddy. Yesterday he visited his physician .|and an' X-Ray photograph showed that he had broken a smal bone be- tween the joint of the thumbd and wrist of his right hand. To . take McAuliffe’s place against Shubert, the club has secured Frankie Burns, the Jersey city, star bantam. Preliminary steps in the formation of the Elks’ Bowling association of America, to which every member of the order of Elks in the United States will be eligible to compete, were teken here yesterday at a business ueeting of the Michigan Elks’ Bowl- ing association.

Mc- | Tigue came to the locals from Toron- i to. The late Diamond Jim Brady learned fame on the turf by paying big prices for blue blooded stake win- ners. He bought accountant from Captain 8. 8. Brown for $40,000 and saw the colt win the Annual Cham- plon Stakes in 1906, among other fixtures at Sheepshead Bay. Brady aiso secured Olseau for $30,000 and purchaser Fountainbleu for $35,000 Otseau developed into one of the best three-year-olds, while Fountain- bleu won the Triumph Stakes for two-year-olds, one mile, at Brighton Beach. Brady's most popular race horse was Gold Heels, winner of the Erighton and Suburban handicaps in 1902. The Brady colors, red, white and blue, always were easily dis- tinguished. Diamond Jim was one of the most liberal patrons of the turf 1. this country.

New Haven, April 17.—Chic Brown, the sensational New Haven light- weight, signalized his return to the boxing game after a lay-off of five months, by holding Johnny Drummie of Waterbury to a draw in the fea- ture attraction of fifteen rounds at the Arena last night. Both boys waged a fast fight from kick-off to curfew, there being little to choose between the two at the end of the battle. Brown fought one of his ever-popular old-time battles, being relent upon forcing the fight and taking advan- tage of every opportunity that pre- sented itself. Drummie, on the other hand, was always ready to mix it and proved that he is still a clever and | same youngster. In the semi-final bout Charley Ber- men of this city, and Dave Medar of New York fought a rattling ten round draw. Bergen showed a big improvement over any previous effort and recelved a big hand for his work.

The runner's sho and both legs were badly bruised, and the ligaments of the left.leg were torn in a way that, ording to the opinion of physicians, i1] prevent him from domning spikes in competition. Baker is a member of the Irish- American the present time, but he bec: s in the world * of athletics as & member of the New York A: C.. He firat burst into prom- inence In 1813, when he won the na- tional half mile championship. He ° duplicated the feat the following year, after he had won the English half mile champlonship and several other 4 important middle distance races in & short trip abroad just before the out- * break of the war. In June, 1915, . Baker was injured in a motorcycle accident at Travers island and was un- able to run again until last summer, In the meantime, however, differences had arisen between him and the New . York A. C., and he cancelled his reg: tstration with the club. He ran his} first. two or three races in 1916 as an unattached athlete and finally joined the Irish-American A. C. at the bde- ginning of the indoor .season. 4 e & MANY COLLEGES ENTER .

He said so yester- day with smiling and emphatic bellig- erence. ¢ j When somebody produced a news- | paper-clipping ‘which contained a | statement by Captain F. R. Kenney, iin charge of the recruiting stations in i Chicago, that Willard had not at- tempted to enlist, he dismissed it with a contemptuous gesture of his ham- . like hands. . | ‘“About three weeks ago in Chica- i 80, he said, “I went to the recruiting | station and told them I was ready. They told me my bulk was too great, | and that they were not taking married | men just then. I went away satis- ified. 1 don’t know much about mus- kets, but I'm ready if my country needs me. I'm willing to do anything that I'm told.” % 4 “But,’ ’somebody timidly interject- ed, “Captain Kenney is an officer in the regular army. He says he has no record of your attempt to enlist.” A fighting glint, not unmixed with a humorous one, came into the big blue eves of the world’s heavyweight ring champion. , “Don't you belleve what I'm tell- ' ing you?” he asked quietly, flexing his huge muscles. The crowd of sporting writers, reporters, and adoring small boys that had gathered around Jess moved back a perceptible distance from the midget-like tent - outside which they were standing and which serves for Jess' circus dressing room.
