Eighteen Eastern Colleges Drop Ath- letics on Account of War. New York, Jan. 15.—Eighteen col- leges in four Eastern states have drop- ped athletics because of the war, ac- cording to returns from a question- naire distributed by Prof. Frederick B. Well, of the College of the City of New The collegee are in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Virginia. Twenty-two colleges have eliminated all pre-season coaching and the oth- ers have cut down the period. Twen- ty-three colleges have dispensed with a training table, and the other three answering kept only for footbail. N. A. A. U. Boxing Championships to Be Held in Boston. Chicago, Jan. 15—The National Se- nior indoor track and field champion- ship will be held at the 22nd Regiment Armory in New York city March 15, according to an announcement today by Charles A. Dean, president. The N. A. A. U. hoxing champion- ships will be held at Boston, April 8, and 9, under the auspices of the Bos- ton Athletic association, Dr. Deam said. Camp Devens Match Ends in Draw. Boston, Jan. 15—A match between “Battling” Levinsky, instructor of boxing at Camp Devens, and “K. O. Bill" Brennan, of Chicago, was declar- ed a draw at the end of the scheduled 12 rounds tonight. Five Dodgers Dodge the Draft. President Charles H. Ebbets of the Brooklyn baseball club last night an- nounced that he will purchase another star for his service flag because Join P. Kelleher, another of his players, has joined the aviation corps and has gone into training at Kelley field, San An- tonio, Tex. Four other Brooklyn players now in the United States service are Cadore, Smith, Malone and Pfeffer. President Ebbets also announced that Rube Marquard and Russell had called at the Dodzer headquarters in Brooklyn and signed their contracts for 1918. Contracts to out of town members of the club will be mailed next week. SPORTING NOTES Boxing experts tell us that Benny Leonard hasn’t reached his best form. Heaven help the other lightweights when he does. ¢ Eighteen colleges have dropped ath- letics owing to the war. And still the government urged that athietics in colleges be continued. Although college basketball through- out the eastern states shows jthe effect { of wartime curtailment, the cdurt game is being well supported. A majority of the leading colieges and universi- ties are represented by teams.and a number of contests will be played with various training camp fives during the uext few months. Outfielder Kauff of the New York National league haseball club is re- ported as having signed for 1918 at a reduction. famous “wartime” con- | tract ran out last fall and it is hardly { o be expected that he would be offered the same salary for this summer de- spite the two home runs he mad in the last world series. Jack Dempsey, the California heav: weight sensation, will be seen at Bo. ton on Jan. 29, when he faces Battling Levinsky for 12 rounds to a decision. | This match will either make or break Dempsey, who has been going sreat guns in the four-round affairs out in the far coast. If he makes good he will be in line for a battle with Tred Fulton, whom he already has chal- lenged. “Cupid” C. E. Black, ex-Yale foot- ball captain, who has been captain of the eleven of the Second naval dis- % i trict, and himself a boatswain's mate of the naval reserve force, has won a commission of ensign and has been recommended for duties on vessels of the fleet which might require all round knowledge. Black will be sent to the naval academy to undergo a course. of 16 weeks, when he will be given sea duty. Despite the fact ma.t Pmmoter Shev- lin of Cincinnati is willing to offer Battling Levinsky, the Hebrew heavy- weight, a guarantee of $1,000, with an option of 20 per cent. of the gross re- ceipts, to meet Harry Kreb of Pitts- burgh in a ten round bout the latter part of this month, Levinsky has been compelled to call off the negotiations, }as he cannot get a long enough leave of absence from Camp Devens, Ayer, Mass., to meet Kreh. Having removed Texas Tate from his path to the championship, Fred Fulton will next attempt to eliminate the best light heavyweight in the box- ing game, namely, Billy Miske, of St. Paul. Fulton and Miske are scheduled to box ten rounds in a decisionless bout in St. Paul next Friday night, and there is ground for the belief that the St. Paul boy will give the tall Kansan more trouble than he hae encountered in any of his recent contests. ‘The Wilding memorial fund being raised by Australasia tennis players to purchase a perpetual trophy to com- memorate the memory of Anthony F. Wilding has passed the $500 mark and gives promise of doubling these fig- ures. The New Zealand Lawn Tennis association has been presented with the racket that Wilding used in the Davis cup matches of 1908. The racket was first offered as a trophy in a war- time tournament, and the winner deeded it o the association as ‘a perpetnal property. There %s a possibility that Grove Cleveland Alexander will be in the na tional army before another basebal season rolls round. The star twirler of the Phillies last year is 30 years old and his number in the draft is down about 6,800. He is the support of his widowed mother, but he has brothers and an exemption claim might not be allowed.

Norwich - has proved so successfui as an ‘“institutional city”—with the State Hospital for the Insane, the State Tuberculosis Sanatorium, the County Iome for Children and the State Inebriate Farm—that she might make a bid for the new State Farm for Women ‘being strongly advocated by Dr, Valeria Parker, of Hartford, who is to speak here at the annual meeting of the United Workers Sun- day next, A Menace in War Time. In the Connecticut Citizen Dr. Par- ker writes: The present war emergency has em- phasized the need of the State Farm for Women in Connecticut. The mili- tary camps and towns in their vicin- ity have attracted numbers of girls and women careless in regard to mor- als, a menace to the health and mor- als of the soldiers, one hundred and eighteen of these girls and women were sent from the vichinity of the camps during the first three weeks of service of the police women recently appointed through the state council of defence. There is little question that many of these women will remain a danger to any community in which they may live unless they can be tak- en-to a place where special care and training may be provided. Many of them have had no opportu- nity for acquiring clean standards of living in their own homes, while a large proportion are mentally weak and easily led. These women all too frequently add to the burden of illegit- amacy which the state is carrying. The State Farm for Women will meet 2 long felt need in supplyvi mg a place where unfortunate girls and women may be given an opportunity to be- come self-supporting and regain their health and self-respect. Such & Farm Assured. 1 The Connecticut State Farm for Wo- men is soon to become a reallty un- der an act passed by the recent legisla” ture. Dr. Katherine Bement Davis of the parole commission of New York states' that the bill under which the institution is to be inaugurated and controlled is the best of the kind which has ever been passed by any state legislature. It provides for physical and mental examination of all women committed and states that the super- intendent and three members of the seven composing the board of trustees must be women. The board of trus- tees as appointed by Governor Hol- comb consists of Professor Wiiliam B. Bailey of New Haven. president of the Connecticut Prison Association; Mrs. Helen W. Rogers, Hamden: Mrs. Anne Rogers Minor, Waterford: Dr, Valeria H. Parker, Hartford; Judge Walter H. Clark, Hartford; Iidward W. Haze, Haddam; John H. Goss, Waterbury. At the first meeting of the hoard, held at the capitol on Aug. , Profes- sor William B. Bailer was elected as chairman andg Dr. Valeria H. Parker, secretary. The committee ‘on .sité was appointed as follows: Fdward W. Fazen, Mrs. Annie Rogers Minor, Br. Valeria H. Parker., Mrs. Helen W, Rogers was asked to make a study of the most desirable types of buildings and report to the board. Suitable Site Desired. The first duty devolving upon the board of trustees of the State Farm for Women is the selection of a suit- able tract of land. The bill calls for at least two hundre® acres of wood- land anq tillable land to be located in an accessible part of the state and provided with adequate water supply. As the legislature appropriated only $50,000 to cover purchase of land, the crection of bildings and maintenance for the pericd intervening before -the next session of the legislature, it will be necessary to find a tract of land purchaseable at a nominal price. It is hoped. Dr. Parker writes, that some public spirited citizen interested in the establishment of this important insti- tution may offer a suitable tract of land as a gift to the state or for sale at a price which will leave a sufficient sum for building and maintenance. ——— e NO WINTER COATS PACKED AWAY at The Pasmik Co., so if you wish a i Ladies’ or Childs’ Coat, the price will never stop you.
