WINDHAM HIGH DEFEATS SOUTH MANCHESTER Thread City Cyclers Win Preliminary Game. (Special to The Bulletin.) ‘Willimantic, March 22.—Windham High School defeated South Manchest- er in a lively game of basketball at the Valley Street Armory, Wednesday ev- ening.

Jess evidently had not forgotten Monahan's left hand Which raised a lump on his head last Morflay. The mark of that blow had not entirely d.ms and the big fellow got no little satisfaction in stinging Monahan today. While his defense is still faulty, illard looks and moves like a thoroughly trained athlete, and there is no question as to his almost perfect condition and his ability to inflict punishment. Moran Plowed, Through Snow. Moran plowed through snow and sleet for a couple of miles on the road in the morning and confined his boxing to a single round with each of his training partners, Madden, McKinnon and Kendall. He is on edge and to all inquirers he reiterates his confidence in his ability to beat the champion. 85 Per Cent. of Tickets Sold. With more than 85 per cent. of the 11,000 @and odd tickets sold, it is be- coming more evident every hour that the contest will be witnessed by the most representative assembly of boxing enthusiasts that ever gathered about a squared circle in this country. Owlng to the high price of seats, attend at the bout is beyond the Faanclal reach of average followers of the glove .game. Their places have been taken, however, by sport adherents who sel- dom attend boxing bouts except those between topnotchers in fistiania. Bankers and Lawyers Buy Tickets.

Owing to the fact of such large purses being given for a ten-round no-decis- fon bout and of the many outside cap- italists interested, there are all kinds of unpleasant rumors afloat concern- ing the coming battle. They may be well founded or not. But there is one thing sure, if Willard and Moran do not get in there and do thelr level best, it will end the boxing game in New York city and perhaps the state. As everyone knows there are many opposed to the scrap being fought in New York under the present condi- tlons and those critics will be out in full force watching every move of the fighters through a microscope trying to detect something irregular. They will do thelr best to prove a fake or a frame-up that's why the fight- ers and their representatives must conduct themselves beyond any sus- picion on the night of the fight. Of course Wiilard and Moran are pulling down blg money for ten rounds. No decision will be given, and it is true that should they go the ten rounds, it means more big money and even a much larger pt for a return meeting of 20 rounds in some other place. There is every rea- son in the world, which may lead one to see the financlal advahtage of the men boxing ten rounds evenly. Not only would it be & big financial bene- fit to the fighters, but to th mana- gers and promoters os well. They could all get together and pull another fight in some other place and all hands fatten their bank accounts. The boxing game is a sport; the way it i{s conducted at the present time, which is beyond control. Such Willard and Moran bde censured in New York, there is nothing to pre- vent them fighting in some other city house, huts for unmarried men, sales depot and store, jam cCreamery or <¢heese factory, central credit bank, recreation grounds and club room and village hall to provide a social center. ‘The central farm under a director would be’ equiped with implements which collld be hired by the settlers.

This train- ing, In the opinion of the committes, will be best given by the temporary employment of such men at a fair liv- ing wage on a central farm under the control of a manager apointed by the Board of Asgriculture. These would be given in addition to their wages in cash a cottage with a garden, and as soon as they showed promise of efficiency a portion of the Innd near their cottages would be let to them. Not all the advance sale of the high priced boxes and reserved seats has been made to local patrons of this type, however, for fully 40 per cent. of it has been to out of town applicants. Some of the leading clubs of the south and New England have paid for large blocks of seats and boxes. - Reserva- tions on incoming trains from these sections and fror the middle west are reported to be well bought up by pros- pective spectators who are planning to arrive here either Friday night or Sat- urday morning.

It is stated that the idea of offering $100 for a new schedule is not to make a free-for-all contest out of the pro- gram-making, but to encourage ex- perts and only experts in that line of work to show what they can do.

Trading, which was somewhat restricted by the storm, revolved almost wholly around the varying aspects of the foreign situa- tion. Developments of broader financial interest, such as the persistent weak- ness of exchange on Germany and Austria and another break in the Paris rate, excited.little attention, ex- cept in banking circles. Progress to- wards the completion of the Canadian loan, which has been definitely fixed at $76,000,000, was reported by the underwriters. Domestic news touching upon the market included the announcement of che placing of large additional orders for, equipment by railroads and week- ly “reviews of steel trade authorities ‘which offered further evidence of the increasing activity in that industry at rising price schedules. Stocks opened unevenly, hardened and feil again before midday, that brief period covering the major por- tion of the day's operations.

It is hoped to get the scheme under way as soon as possible in order to provide employment and a home for disabled fighting men now returning from the front.

These small holders would be the ten- ants of the state, and they would be subject to a certain amounj of state tutelage.
