HOMER MONTY LANDED THE KNOCKOUT WALLOP Edward Lambert Took the Count Second Round at Versailles. A knockout blow, dealt by Homer Monty in the second of a scheduled eight round go at Versailles, Friday night, caused Edward Lambert to take the count and he was carried out of the ring. Lambert, although a clever boxer, was outclassed in every way by Mont¥, who was right there with the goods,’ when it came to ducking and blocking. Three times Lambert went down before Monty in_the second round. The first time he got to his feet at the seventh count, the second time Kid Wilson, the referee, got nine nts on him and the third time he ok the count. The match was pulled off in a barn out a mile and a half from the Ver- les station and was witnessed by a owd of about 150. George Malcolm, cquipped with a cow bell, did duty as timekeeper. The rounds were of three inutes’ duration, with one minute interval. Homer issues a challenge to Young Corbett of the State hospital, accord- Ing to a statement made Friday night by George Monty, and if Corbett wants to take the challenge up he may make arrangements with George. _George onty and Theodore Schultz are mak- ing arrangements for several bouts to be e¢ oft in Froelichit hall, Memo- rial day. SPORTING NOTES The fans of Boston probably are king too much from the Red Sox, ys the Boston Herald, and as they ire the most loval fans in the country they are entitled to some considera- tion. Many players who jumped to the Feds want to get back into organized ball, according to Ban Johnson. But they have no chance at all, he says. )f course Ban figures the Federal ague as “nearly all in." Benny Kauff threatens to force the slants to make good on the three-year ntract he h: signed_with them. ff played down in Danbury, Ct., day on an all-star team against a uad handled by Mike Donlin. Arlie Latham, proposed manager of the Tip Tops, one of New Bedford's two teams in the Colonial league. is hatting .106 as assistant to Mrs. Lath- managing a brand new delicates- en store in New York, according to s story. An order of expulsion against Dr. C. 1. Ergenbright of Liberty, Ind, was tered by the board of appeals of he American Trotting association which held its spring meeting at Chi- g0 recently. Twenty-two other dis- tes were discussed and disposed of. “We can see the trend of baseball,” : t ¥ says Walter Johnson, “and it isn't hard to figure that another winter see D organized seball and the Feds.

He thinks peace will come soon, but that the move must be made by organized ball. He adds that there will be peace only when the Feds are recognized as a big league. Those rowing critics who have been clamoring for ail of the college crews to meet on the Poughkeepsie should have just as good a line on the re- spective abilities of the crews in the rican Henley on the Schuykill, 22. With Harvard, Yale, Prince- Cornell Syracuse Annapolis and nsylvania booked to meet this race Pe 1 much as any other should prove where the college rowing champion- ship belongs. The construction work in Prince- ton's new football system is making progress, and the latest announcement & that four of the five coaches who ill constitute Head Coach Rush's taff have been selected. They are J. L. Cooney, Philip M. Brasher, W. G. Andrews and W. J. Shenk. With the ffth man, who still remains to be ho#en, these coaches will live in Princeton throughout the fall months nd will be personally in charge of hé work which will be assigned to hem by Ceopch Rush. Nate Lewis, manager of Charlle Whité, will not be content until he wets Freddle Welsh into a ring with is charge again. “You can talk all u want to about Welish being the hampion, but nobody can make me elieve that White hasn't a chance to weat the little Britisher over the mar- ithon route. We have met Welsh wice over the ten round distance. In he first bout Welsh claimde that he was not fit, while in thesecond White vas hardly up to snuff. All that now emains is for the two boys to meet sver the longer route” STONINGTON HIGH TRIMS N. F.

N. F, A.-TENNIS TEAM OPENS SEASON TODAY Red:and:White Racquet Wielders Play at Worcesterw-Arthur Collins Cap- tain, The Norwich Free Academy tennis team opens the season today, when they play a match game with Wor- cester academy at Worcester. This is the second year of tennis at the Academy and the prospects consider- ing the length of time the sport has been in the school are quite bright. Last year the team fared well in cap- turing three out of six matches play- ed and some of the matches were with teams that were more experienced in tennis. Arthur Collins has been elected cap- tain and holds second position on_the team, while the first position is held by Loue Stockwell, last vear's captain. The _other two meémbers of the team are Lorimer Slocum and Howarth Col- lins. Barle Hiscox of Jewett City is the business manager. The schedule arranged follows: Trinity Second here during the latter part of May; June 1, Pomfret, at Pom- fret; June 8, Putnam, here. The, court at the Academy has been put in good condition, SELLS BALL PLAYERS. Hasn't Any Team to Play Now. New London Manager H. Eugene McCann con- tinues to announce the sale of players he had signed for the season of the Eastern association for 1915,which sea- son will not start because of the re- fusal of Hartford, Springfield and New Haven to enter the league. Sev- eral weeks ago the Globe announced that the season would not start, but a general denial was made by the other New London papers, although to date the denying authorities have not seen fit to give the “news” that there will not be baseball here this year, al- though they publish from time to time the sale of players of the New London team.—New London Globe. Jewett City Plays Wauregan Today. The Jewett City baseball team will journey to Wauregan Saturday and on Sunday to play Voluntown. The Jew- FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL STOCK PRICES FALL. Bethlehem Steel Made a Maximum Decline of 29 Points. New York, May 7.—Stocks broke with extreme violence this afternoon on news of the sinking of the British liner Lusitania, presumably by a Ger- man submarine. Prices fell from 8 to almost 30 points, sreatest losses be- ing sustained by the shares which have come to be known as war specialties. Bethlehem Steel, which early in the day assumed new prominence by sell- ing up to 159, the highest price vet recorded, made a maximum decline of 29 points. Westinghouse Electric, an- other stock in the same class, broke 21 points, Amalgamated Copper fell almost 12 points and many others from 6 to 10 points. In the*final trading evidence of sub- stantial banking support was seen in the partial recoveries, which extended to 15 points in Bethlehem Steel, 13 in Westinghouse and 3 to 9 points else- where. The stock ticker was almost half an hour behind in recording transactions. The last thirty minutes was perhaps the most active and ex- citing period in the history of the ex- change, over 600,000 shares changing hands in that brief space of time. Scores of speculative accounts were sold out in the decline, which came with such force as to make calls for impaired margins a matter of extreme difficulty, In the early hours of the market extreme apathy and irregularity pre- vailed, the day giving promise of be- ing the dullest in a fortnight and prices at that time were exceedingly variable. The government report on winter wheat, which should have been a fac- tor by reason of its reassuring fea- tures, was overlooked in the excite- ment of the late afternoon. Additional gold engagements from Japan were likewise ignored. Total sales of stocks amounted to 50,000 shares. Bonds were heavy, later showing weakness in speculative issues. Total sales, par value, aggregated $4,600,000. United States bonds were unchanged. 1, STOCKS. Sates. Hin Tow. Close g W W 3500 Al Chatmers B ik S50 Amut_Covper FE 206 Am- Ac Chem 88 1300 Am.

Ted Meredith, world's middle-dis- tance champion, now a student at the University of Pennsylvania, stands a head above the best athletes in the world when it comes to endurance. He may be designated as the iron man of the cinderpath. If it were scientific- Stands Head in all but the second inning, when derful powers of endurance, the searchers no doubt would be surprised. He has a most remarkable physical en- dowment. There is not a man in the world, it is believed, who can hold a candle to America’s wonderful middle distance runner. Ted's strength bor- ders on the superhuman. Did you see him at the 1912 Pennsyl- vania carnival go through his 440- yard stunt for Mercersburg Academy in 48 4-5 seconds? Maybe, unless you were a track and fleld expert, you did not pay much heed to the cleverness of that performance. To critics who saw that race astonishment was theirs. Ted started off with a sprint and not once did he slacken that terrific pace until be breasted the tape. Did he collapse? He certainly did not, and for one who had been through such a grueling con- test his recuperative powers were won- derful. If you did not pay much at- tention to the glowing stories of the press immediately following his sen- sational run on Franklin Field, you were forced to knosv him by his bril- liant 1912 Olympic performances, when he won the 300-metre run. In that race at Stockholm he continued on to the half, establishing new world’s records for the two official distances, 1:51:9 and 1:52 12, respectively. As though this was not enough, Ted won his way to the finals in the 400-metre run and wes fourth in a close brush with Reidpath, America; Braun, Ger- many, and Lindberg U. S, A. In the semifinal heat Ted trotted to the wire in 48:8. In these world’s champion- ship events he proved his tremendous powers. At the Intercolegiate championships last year Meredith ran one of the best fields of quarter-milers ever gathered in America. In his heat he was con- tent to lope along, Jansen, of Michi- gan, taking the trial in 50 1-5. In the final it was different, and when he started no man living could have held him safely. The time here was 48 2-5, the next fastest quarter Ted ever traveled. Just to show his great ca- pacity for punishment, Ted answered the clerk’s' call for the half-mile. How he raced here will ever be remembered by those who witnessed the race. It was not generally believed Ted would be able to stand the strain after his hard quarters, for fresh men were against him here. He surprised his stanchest admirers. = At the first quar- ter he was at Brown's heels. The Yale man was running like a flend, with Caldwell, the ultimate winner pock- eted. M. S, Hayes, Princeton, was run a bit off the pole at Mere- dith’s shoulders, and just hehind the pocket came Capper, of Harvard, and the color runner, Granger, of Dart- mouth. Ted held them all eafe until the final sprint. Then it was discov- ered that even Meredith was human. He finished third, and his distance was not far behind the winner, Caidwell, who was forced to smash all existing half-mile intercollegiate records. The winner was clocked in 1 minute 53 2-5 seconds. Brown, who had led nearly all the way, was second, while Capper and Hayes were the next in order after Meredith. It is typical of Ted that he doesn’t know just how fast he can go, for he is seldom distressed. At the Canadian game last vear he was credited with a 47:4 quarter, and it is the belief of thousands in America that the long- sting record of 47 seconds flat, made by Maxy Long, on the Guttenberg race track, New York city, will go flying when Ted makes a try of it on the 440-straightaway at the Panama-Ex- position championships, San Francisco, in August. FITZSIMMONS HELD THREE WORLD’S CHAMPIONSHIPS, Banked As the Greatest Fighter the World Ever Had. - In all the history of the fighting game but one man has ever held three world’s championships, and by virtue of holding them he must be ranked above all other ringsters as the greatest fighter the world ever knew —Robert Fitzsimmons. light heavyweight. Not only did “Ruby _Bob” hold the middleweight and heavyweight championships until weight and the kick of Jim Jeffries deposed him, but he won them at periods in his life so far apart as to make it seem in- credible that any human being could stand the wear and tear of the game as long as he did. He was twenty- eight years old when he wrested the middleweight crown from Jack Demp- sey, thirty-five years old when he Wwon the heavyweight honors from James J. Corbett, and almost forty- three yvears old when he beat George Gardner in a match for the light heavyweight title. And to top that off, he was fifty- three years old last winter when the New York boxing commission arbi- trarily put an end to his fighting career by refusing to allow him to enter a ring in the Empire state be- cause he was too old. Otherwise, the lanky one might be holding ' another crown today. Fitzsimmons was the prize freak of the ring. Possessing a powerful pair of shoulders, with long arms and a deep torso, he dwindled away to ally, possible to determine Ted’s won- nothing in the legs until only the WHICH BEGINS IT8 THIRD' WEEK AT THE DAVIS, MONDAY NEXT- gt CONNECTICUT YOBK STREET, T of Naw Haven, Conny, 3 are produding the ’ BEST ADDING MACHINE that s made In*America, "WHY NOT PATRONIZE OUR.

He was always slow on his feet and shuffled -around the -ring in flat- footed style, but when he landed his awful blacksmith punch it was in- evitably curtain for the man on the Teceiving end. Fitzsimmons first came into promi- nence as a fighter in New Zealand, when he knocked out three men in one night in a fistic carnival held there. One of these was Herbert Slade, the great Maori, and from that dey Bob's reputation as a fighter was established. ‘W. W. Haughton, an old-time fight writer on the coast (now deceased), heard of Fitz, and it was through his efforts as much as anything else that the lanky Cornishman was brought to this country from Australia in the spring of 1880. From the first fight that Fitz had . in this country, his fighting career was comprised of a long string of ring succesges, the like of which has never been equalled be- fore or since his time. He reached the championship = stage at New Orleans, January 14, 1891, when he appeared in the ring with Jack Dempsey, then middleweight champion of the world. The fight was held at the Olympic club for a purse of $12,000, of which $11,000 was to go to the winner and but $1,000 to the loser, Fitz weighed in at 150 12 pounds while Dempsey tiped the beam at 147 1-2, the weighting in being done in front of the audience, The fight lasted to the 13th round, when the Nonpareil went down to a clean knockout. ‘With Dempsey out of the way, Fitz- simmons had mighty slim picking in| his own class, as there was ot a mid dleweight in sight who had' a ghost of, a chance with him. The only thingl left for him to do was to fight bigger! men than himself, so he moved bagi and baggage over into the heavyweight{ camp and shied his war bonnet into the ring with the big fellows. At this time James J. Corbett was. heavywelight champion by virtue = of his defeat of the mighty John L., sol Fitz camped on Corbett’s trail until he. landed a match with the California star for the heavyweight championship of the world. Carson City, Nev., was! selected as the battleground, and the fight was booked for March 17, 1897. Corbett entered the ring cool and smiling and looking his lanky oppo- nent over with the superior air of one sure to win. ‘He had reason for the feeling, as Fitz weighed only 165 pounds, while Jim tipped the bean at 190, but Bob won in 14 rounds, and. Fitz was middleweight and heavy- Weight champion rolied into one. It would seem that two_titles would be enough for anybody, but Fitzsim- mons wes not yet satisfied, and he im- mediately began to look around for new worlds to conquer. He found his man in George Gardner, who was then recognized as the light heavyweight champion of the world. Fitz went right after him, and the match was finally clinched. The battle was fought at San Fran- cisco November 25, 1903, Fitz gaining the decision after 20 hard rounds. In this bout Fitz broke his hand early in the fight, but that never stopped him _and he fought right on to the finish with only his left in commission.} FOR 1915 COPPER CHARLES A.
