Jim Coffey, the Dublin Giant, offer: t otake on Jess Willard in a 10 or 20 round bout. Coffey is trying to fill the gap left vacant by the retirement of Peter Maher, who was once thc Dpet of tae fight fans. If Georges Carpentier ever gets out of the war he will make a tour of America. Right now the French chempion is a prisoner, the Germans having captured him frying to race through the lines near St. Pol in the department of the Nord. There is an Interssting tale behind the proposed Wiilard-Johnson fight, that, if it ever leaks out, wil make good resding for glove followers. Johnson's cause for worry is how to get away with a clean skin the money it he should fight in Juarez. Several others have asked the same question. ‘The biggest boxing carnival ever held in New York ciiy is being ar- ranged for the benefit of th of New York.

A Tribute to “Red” Waller The leading writer on the Water- bury American_pays the following tribute to Red Walle Athletes in Southern California. col- leges who take money in one sport are barred from college teams only in that branch of athletics; they are still eli- gible to any other of the college teams. This was the rule adopted at Los An- geles, Cal, recently by the executive committee of the Southern California intercolleglate conference, The sum- mer baseball problem is thus solved for Southern Callfornia collegians, as the athletic playing professional base- bail in summer is only disqualified from the ‘varsity baseball squad. He can still play football or appear on the track. Red Waller, the former Bridgeport ball player who died Thursday, was of that baseball generation which had not discovered the necessity of properly caring for one's physical health if he would make sure his suc- cess on the diamond, or of husbanding one’s finances to provide for the future. The class of which he is a t¥pe, even in the minors, is rapidly being supplanted, thanks to the ad- vent of more college players than was the case a few vears ago, by wiser players who not only play the game for their love of it, but add to the longevity of their baseball usefulness, a3 well as to their fund for that day when their earning capacities as play- ers are no more, by passing up many of those things that bring momentary pleasure, but are followed later by everlasting regret., Bill Donovan’s smile_is only on the surface, according to Hugh Jennings, Who wants it understood that Donovan 1s not “easiy.” He salalls a ti:ne when novan tackled Doc Payne, Cleveland rainer, who had a “rep” as a fighter and made Dock back up. Another time Donovan became so huffy he busted with a bat a stove in the Detroit clubhouse. “No, no” says Jennings, “those New York players will not find Bill & snap. ‘WHEN YOU WANT to put your bus- iness before the public, there s no medium better than through the ad- “—ming columns of The Builetin. ..

New Haven, Conn, March 9.—Yale defeated Princeton 20 to 17 in an in- tercollegiate basketball game here to- night. Unless Yale shows a_complete reversal of form, it is believed that the victory assures the Blue of the cham- plonship of the league. Before to- night's game, both Yale and Prince- ton had been tied for first place. Each team has one more game to play. Yale's opponent will be Dartmouth, the tail-enders of the league, on the iocal floor. The Green has been defeated by the Blue in every game so far. TAFTVILLE EASILY DEFEATED NEW LONDON INDEPENDENTS.

FINANGIAL AND COMMERCIAL MARKET WAS PULL. Stocks Showed Steadiness at the Opening—Closed With Few Material Changes. New York, March 9—For the first time since the outbreak of the Europ- ean war, conditions across the water were today almost wholly sub- ordinate to events nearer home. Latest developments in the Mexican situation, as seen in the attitude of the Washington government, drew re- newed attention to affairs in the sounthern republic and excited some concern in finarcial circles, Stocks manifested steadiness at the opening, but became moderately unsettled on announcement that it had been decided to send warships to Mex- ican ports. Prices became firmer later, when it became known that ‘Washington had not departed from its policy of non-intervention in that quarter. Recoveries to the early high level were recorded, but trading grew increasingly dull, with few material changes at the close. Retirement of the Gould or domin- ant interest, from the Missouri, Pacific and St. Louis and Iron Mountain roads was reflected by considerable activity at advancing prices in the securities by properties. Later, however, profit taking in Missouri Pacific caused some shading of quoted values. Manipulaticn continued in the so- calleq commercial specialties, including the motor shares, Sears Roebuck, Woolworth, Express company issues and numerous stocks in the more ob- scure list, but was without effect on «he speculative favorites, where the movement was more narrow. Western Maryland common and preferred were. the only railway stocks to score sub- stantial gains. Canadian Pacific, Reading, Lehigh Valley and Chesa- Deake and Ohio were relatively heavy. The feature of the opening exchange. market was the strength of remit- tances to Madrid, pesetas advancing sharply because of an abrupt decline in sterling at the Spanish capital, Be- cause of the large amount of available capltal now held by local banks, time money was dull, six months loans be- ing made at 3 1-4 per cent. There was a marked decline of fu- ture or forelgn sales of our bonds. That market was irregular, with strength in low priceq issues. Our bankers announced an impending loan of $15,000,000 to the government of Switzerland in the form of one to five year five per cent. notes, the pro- ceeds to be used for purchases in this country. The notes will be offered to| the public, at a prioe slightly under par according to report. Total bond sales, par value, aggre- gated $2,417,000. U. S. bonds were unchanged on call. STOCKS. Tow.

CHICAGD GRAIN MARKET. “ON THE TRAIL”. their | the paper, and names and ad-| tol i | i CHANCE FOR RITCHIE TO REGAIN HIS TITLE. Meets Freddie Welsh Thursday Night At Madison Square Garden. One thought W be uppermost in the mind of Willie Ritchie as he sits in his corner awaiting the clang of the bell that will send him against Fred- die Welsh, the world's lightweight champion, in their 10-round bout at Madison Square Garden on Thursd: nigat. The memory of how the elusive Welsh ducked. sidestepped, gave ground and flited out of harm’s way like will-0’-the-wisp all through the round bout in London last summer, when Ritchie lost his title to Freddie, will come back to the California boy as he walks forth from his corner to meet Welsh at the Garden. Those have seen Ritchie in his recent training, and who have noted the quiet air of confidence radiating from the former holder of the title, believe he intends to adopt radically different measures this time_against Welsh. It is rumored that Willle is going to take the aggressive from the beginning and devote all his attention to connecting one solid punch with the champion’s jaw in the hope of Te- gaining lost laurels. It is o certainty that Ri attempt. to match his against the Welshman. He saw the futility of that in the l.ondon bout and he has made up his mind to knock his opponent out before the bell ends the tenth and last round. The Californian does not appear quite so fast in his gymnasium work as he did a year ago. His footwork, too, appears to have suffered a bit in comparison ith what 'he showed earlier in his career. His long lay-off has undoubtedly had its_effect on thie former champlon’s speed, but on the other hand, he has filled out until he looks more like a welterweight than a htweight. Jlis training methods weuld indi- cate that Ritchie is going to rely on the heft of his punch this time, rather than on mere speed, to defeat his con- queror. Both Dr. Jeffreys, the Pacific Coast boy's trainer, and Ritchie him- selt are confident soaner or later Welsh’s jaw will come in contact with ‘Willle's glove, and that then the title will come back to America. It is evidently the intention of the San Francisco youth to keep after Welsh relentlessly, taking whatever the champion sends over in the effort to land his own punch, and there are quite a fewboxing enthusiasts who are of the opinfon that Ritchie will be able to accomplish his purpose. OPTIMISM IN CAMP OF YALE OARSMEN. ie will not boxing skill the Return of Guy Nickalls. With Guy Nickalls back from Eng- land, crew work at Yale has become activ in preparation for .another victory over the Crimson at New Lon- don next June. Despite repeated assurances to the contrary there has been a feeling that something might intervene so that Nickalls would be obliged to stay in England, and _his actual presence hers = in New Haven has given the Blue confidence that there will be an- other powerful varsity elght. Last season the new Yale rowing policy was something of an experiment, and hopes and doubts struggled against cach othef almost up to the day of the big race, There is a different con- dition now. ~ Nickalls has proved his theory by an indelible victory, and his judgment from now on will re- main unquestioned in all that pertains to the rowing policy at New Haven. And as a matter of fact that policy has been quite cleverly outiined . It is now known that the Yale var- sity will use an English made shell, equipped with thole pins, but in ar- rangement of seats the American cus- tom will prevail, that of placing the men directly over the keel, instead of zigzag as in the usual tvpe of English boat. The performance of the Yale crew last year when it used tho thole pin rig and the corrobora- tive evidence ~ which was gathered from the performance of Pennsylva- nia_on the Hudson has been taken as a justification of what by many was considered as an absolute method. The fact that Captain Denegre and Coach Nickalls are in accord on all the main points of the rowing policy gives confidence that there will be no hitch in carrying active training along to a successful issue.

Whitted, Mann and Deal Allowed to Depart. The gration of a champion- ship baseball team does ot start as a rule until, after the championship has been won, but here the 1915 capaign has not started} and we find 't e leading factors in_the success of Athletics in 1914—Bender, Plank and Collins have been allowed to depart while several of the Braves who helped win the world's championship will be with other clubs this year. At least three members of Stallings’ team who took part in the memorable h W the Athletics at Shibe « and Fenway fleld will not be : in Boston uniforms this vear. Whitied, the hard-hitting outflelder who was sent into the lineup when a southpaw was hurling for the opposi- tion, is slated for the Phillies, along with Pitcher Tom Hughes and Infleld- Charley Deal, former n league discard, who did the pinch third-basing in the world serie and Leslie Mann, another of the right- 3 ing ouifielders, have jumped to_the Feds. Without any trouble Stallings could have prevented the hurdling of Deal anG Mann. Neither wanted to leave the Braves, but, with the National league agreeing upon a plaver limit of 21, it was necessary for the miracle man to do some cutting, and Deal and Mann were two upon whom he asked waiver: Regardless of that action the two players might have remafned with the Braves had they been will- ing to accept the terms offered, but each asked for a raise, and as such lary boosts were not forthcoming they passed up the chance to get in- to_the next world’s series and hurd- dis; a say, two years 1 { ma sponsible for the 1-to-0 v quired by the Braves at tI of the Athletics with Eddie Plank in the box.

Then again, Mann, running for Gowdy, scored the winning run for the third contest of the serfes.
