O'Dowd, Indifferent at times to training regulations, is reported to have worked harder for this battle | ®an for any previous test.

He plans to substantiate his contention this eve- | ning. | Wilson, too, has engaged in an e tensive training period for the de- fenso of his title and is ready for the test. The champion is just as eager to demonstrate he is O'Dowd’'s mas ter the 8t Paul middleweight is to prove otherwise. Wilson has been training for three weeks at Charles- town, Mass., where he makes his home, and is confident he will leave the ring tonight with his title. { In the semi-final ten-round bout Joe Benjamin, California lightweight, | will engage George Erne of Buffalo.

SCHAEFER AR AHEAD, Jake Gathers 600 Points to 216 for Cochran. New York, March 17.—Showing much of the same brilliant form that characterized his play in the recent match with Edouard Horemans, Jake Schaefer yesterday took both blocks in the 1,200-point 18.2 balkline bil- liard match with Welker Cochran at the Strand academy. The match will be concluded with an afternoon and evening session today. At the close of play last night Schaefer had a total of 600 to 216 for Cochran. The Chicago player won both blocks easily enough, the afternoon score being 300 to 28 and the evening score 300 to 188. In the evening ses- | sion he hered a cluster of 280 in an unfinished run with which he end- ed the block. / In-this run he played | brilliantly, got the balls at one end of the table and clicked off his points rapidly, with few difficult shots com- ing up. He seldom had a drive to the far end and he played steadily throughout. . Cochran had taken a long lead by the time Schaefer came to #fie table, "for he had gathered 166 by 'a clever | show of billiards Schaefer at the time had but 20 points. Cochran | Wever got another chance to shoot, as | fhe gafme was plaved in three innings, | Schaefer, having an average of 150 for | tha blogk. In the afternoon -session, Schaefer got away to a long lead early in lh(-] sessiomr and, though it required ten in- fings for him to get 300, he was al- | ways in front. Cochran could not get | sfarted, and, when he had a turn at the table, usuaily found the balls in bad position. His runs were feeble efforts and his average for the block Outdoor Practice Hamilton, N. Y., March 17.—The first good weather of the year allowed was but 2 8-10.
