NOICE FAR AWAY < HELLO - 15 T — VOICE ¥ HoLD WIRE - JusT T {SPORTDOM SPARKLERS | Five bouts terminated abruptly last night in the preifminaries for the New / York state amateur boxing champion{ ships at the City Athletie club. That there were no' knockouts was due to the alertness of Referec Eddie Forbes. Fvery time a lad was in danger pf be- ing knocked senseless he sent both contestants to their corners and’ren- dered a decision. Among those who were victorious in abbreviated bouts were two Metropolitan champions. Charley Beecher of the Educational ‘Alliance stopped Pat McCarthy in the first roynd in the 125 pound class, and Robert Gleason of the Dominican Lyceum :disposed of Pat Murphy in the second round of the 1568 pound class, Outfielder Fred Bratchi, of the Co- lumbus American association club, was released today to the Springfield club of the Central league, under an optional agreement. Pitcher Niehaus, of the St. Louls Nationals, was released yesterday to the St. Paul club, of the American association. Mackenney, pitcher for Willlam Jeawell, struck out twenty-five bats- men and allowed only one hit in a game at Liberty, Mo., yesterday with Tarkie college. Willlam Jewell won, 3 to 1. . The faculty of Brown university yesterday ~authorized the athletic board of the college to carry out the schedules of the university’s athleti teams as arranged, with the under- standing that it reserved the right to cancel any or all schedules should it deem such action necessary. Faults in the schedule - submitted for the ‘approval of the Eastern leegue club owners at the special meeting held in the Adams House, Boston resulted in ‘the set of dates being turned back to the league sec- retary for further adjustment. At the same time Secretary Thomas O'Brien was told to make out a separate list of bookings. which did not take into con- sideration the listing of Sunday dates in New Haven and Bridgeport. This means that the club owners will hava two schedules to discuss when they rieet a week from today, probably in Springfield. In addition the Worcester club relinquished all claim to Out- fielder Jud Daley and voluntarily brought about an adjustment of a vexing situation which at times- threatened to cause some ill feeling among the club . owners involved. Daley is now the baseball property of the Lawrence club. Manager Jack Flynn having laid cliim to his ser- vices by virtue of his playing with Lynn last season. Freddie Welsh, lightweight cham- pion, easily bested Battling Nelson in twelve rounds of boxing et St. Louis last night. The champion ducked, ‘ — lodged, side-stepped and back-stepped 1 whenever Nelson started a blow and was not hit solidly more than half a dozen times. Welsh also showed his punishing power. His left darted to Nelson's face repeatedly, and his infighting was far superior to the ‘battler’s. The contest was not all one-sided, ‘however. Nelson never failed to meet Welsh, and never did he back off an inch. In the eighth Nelson hit Welsh squarely, but the blow appeared low. The champion backed up against the ropes, but Ref- erece Ed Smith motioned the boxers together again. Welsh, apparently angered, then began his only real at- tack. He slashed Nelson with right and left hooks and pummelled his body. Nelson soon was bleeding, and at the end of round eleven both men were crimson from a cut in the bat- | tier's lip. Nelson weighed 132 pounds | and Welsh 135. Announcement was made at the Naval Academy yesterday that all sporting contests with outside com- petitors had been called off for the remainder of this season. The war ' situation is responsible for this action. N. C. Strong, manager of the East- | ern tour of the Leland Stanford Junior University baseball team, received a message in New York yesterday from Palo Alto, .Cal, announcing the can- cellation of all Etanford athletics and the consequent abandonment of the proposed trip. The telegram read: | ‘“‘Action taken today cancels all in- | tercollegiate athletic contests. Base- | ball oft.” Stanford was scheduled to play the leading college teams of the Middle West and the East this season during & tour which was to have lasted from | six weeks to two months. i i ! The Philadelphia Nationals have protested Boston's twelve-inning vic-J tory yesterday, Manager Patrick Mo- | ran announced last night. | A decision- by Umpire Bransfleld, who déclared Pitcher Lavender of the Philadelphias out for running off the line between second and third bases in the third inning when Philadelphia scored five ; runs was the basis of the complaint. Lavender had started to cross the diamond from second, apparently be- lleving he had been called out on a play at that base, but turned and | reached third base before the ball was | thrown to that position. Manager Moran said his protest was based on l the ground that a runner cannot le- gally be retired for leaving the base line .unless intending to avoid being tagged. ' Eddie Wallace, the Brooklyn light- weight, easily outpointed Jim Moonéy, a west side boxer, who substituted for Jimmy Dufty, in the main ten-round bout at the Pioneer Sporting club at New York last night. In the other bout scheduled for ten rounds, in which the principals were Johnny Morris, & former amateur champion, and Chick Nelson of Denmark, Ref- eree Patsy Haley stopped the contest DAWNING OF .

When Carrigan startled the baseball world by letting Cleveland have the great Tris Speaker, fans in this city stormed and raved, although Carrigan claimed that he got the better of the deal. “Tillie” Walker figured in the trade, and the way that he has been lining “Tillie’ Walker is Proving ]udgment of Bill Carrigan | | T0 CASINO l]lIlNTET.

Johnny Ray of the vic- tors, gave a brilliant éxhibition of fine work, smashing the pins for a total score of 340 which included a mark of 137 in the “good night” game. Ray’'s work was a big factor in the Silver city boys triumph. Pullan with a total of 326 was next in line for: roll of honor mention. In none of | the three names, did Pullan fail to‘ put up century figures and better. Larson featured for the home boys | with three scores that totaled 332. His best effort was in the second game when he toppled the maples for a 118 score. Manager Rogers was off form, failing to put up his usual steady game except in' the opening clash. A margin of two pins in the final game between the Union Manufactur- ing company and the New Britain Machine tompany bowlers in the Fac- tory league last evening, gave the former a victory of two games. The battles were nip and tuck throughout and were watched with interest by a large crowd. ‘The .scores: New Britain 115 87— 295 86— 264 106— 332 98— 200 100— 297 476—1468 Rogers Hines Larson Foote . 108— 296 86— 269 99— 299 110— 326 187— 340 Connors Zemke. ..
