No flowers will be sold. No collection will be taken. No auction will be held, No one will be asked to contribute @ cent beyond the price of his ticket. Pretty good notion, isn’t tt You buy your ticket for the best show seen in New York in months, You seo world's champion boxers and con- tenders. You don't have to put your hand into your pocket once after en- ing the Garden. The show will EARN whatever money is paid for tickets. And every dollar over bare expenses will go to buy athletic foods for our soldiers, who need them more than any man outside of training camp can realize. TERDAY I heard that Harry through ten rounds. fast as he cared to. showed signs of weariness. Miske protested. of Miske's temporary distress Mad- den fought furiously through the round. But Miske came out for the fifth with a furious attack that took all the aggressiveness out of Mad- den. The rest of the fight was all Miske’s. He was much faster than Madden, a better and harder hitter. It was just a training gallop for to- ieke should be in fine shape for the vate Wellman, recently enlisted, was jsent up to run the show for the Com- mission on ‘Training Camp Activitior. And it looks as if our old friend Bill has arranged one of the finest shows he ever pulled off in his life. pt oe Sa THE EVENING WORLD, TUESDAY, JULY 16, 1918. * BEST SPORTING PAGE IN NEW YORK KNUCKLES FROM A PUNCH THAT WILL BE FELT IN GERMANY —Th WIS ONE OUGHT "To Tarcar RIGHT OFF HIS Feet.

Stevens, the well-known caterer, has a contract with the Garden by which he has all programme sel- ing privileges at all shows. I called Mr, Stevens on the tele- phone. “Do you intend to get out pro- grammes for the Army Show?" T asked. “They are already printed,” wald Mr, Stevens. “Do you intend to sell them?” “Certainly.” “Then you put us in a rather awk- ward position, as we are advertising that no programmes will be sold xnd no charity accepted.” “Why,” said Mr, Stevens Instantly, “then Till give them away, Call on me for anything else I can do to help out the show.” . “Thank you, Harry,” eald wa “We knew you were a good scout.” HE prices, one to five dollars, have made a hit with the New! York public, Last night the advance sale beat anything seen at the Garden in years, and Promoter Weliman cheerfully prophesied that the Garden will be sold out and that the Army Athletis Fund will gain something over $25,000. That means that about 100,000 of our boys in the camps, who to-day have nothing to relieve the grind of hard military training, will within! two or three weeks be able to box or| play baseball, football or basket ball whenever they have an hour to spare. If YOU come to-night, and buy & single dollar ticket, you will help tn) making 100,000 of our boys happy. | ee 1 NE of the star events on the Oo programme is the No Man's Land fight—a military training for actual battle. There are six men in the ring, all wearing big ten-ounce gloves. Tex O'Rourke donated all of the gloves for the boxing bouts, and | not to be outdone, the Everlast Sport- ing Goods Company has donated the aix pairs of gloves for the No Man’ Land battle. Afterward the Upton! tems can take the gloves back to Upton with them, and they'll go) through many a hard scrap before) they reach France. O-NIGHT’S programme: I B. F.

Shipments from Kentucky had been delayed, but now the strings which raced through tie Diue grass circult are arriving. Only yesterday several carloads of borses got in and, according to Harry Brie- Vogel, assistant to Col, Matt Winn, big improvement in the size and cal- {bro of the flelds may soon be looked for. Yesterday's racing at the Yonkers track wasn't up to the standard set &t Aqueduct by a long way, In fact it was ordinary almost to the uninteresting point, The first race for instance, was only a two-horse affair between Sea Pirate and Min- uet, with the latter the opening fuvor- ite, whereas it should have been just the opposite, The Tuckahoe Hundl- cap brought out only three horses, Bt. Isidore, Bondage and Hendrie, a to finish and they ran in the order named. Whether or not it was the condition of the track from Sunday's rain isn't known, but as a race it lacked everything in the way of a contest, Hendrie and Bondage run like a couple of crabs and St. Isidore only 1 to gallop to win. Lefore the race an utter Jack of confidence prevatied among the traineis of the three horses. Only at post time was \t de- cided that St. Isidore had a chance and the paddock habitues bad a bard time trying to land on the best-meant one of the trio, ‘The Tarrytown Stakes of $2,000 at @ mile was run in the slow time of} 1.43, Green Gold, one of the outsid- ers, won it; Kate Bright was second Sa tae ae on and Nepperhan third, The favorite, | fuvecoe ee ater oon ver the Hlmendorf, was never prominent. | about comple Miss Alexa St This colt is a 1,39 horse ordinarily, | national cha Red Cros: but yesterday he couldn't run in 1.44.| Wi! aired orry Adair Lyke rode him, and his owner had unlimited confidence in him.

CINCINNATI, July 16.—The New York Giants showed a great form reversal and defeated the Reds in the second game of the series by a score of 2 to 1. They backed! up Slim Sallpe in errorless style and | bit Fred Toney just hard enough to! win, Sallee, in for the first tiny since the Giants left New York, showed won- dorful skill limiting Matty’s hard hit- | ters to five hits, He showed no indi- Jeation of any further trouble from {his back, In which he caught a cold two weeks ago. It took a great play by Hal Chase to keep the Gtants away from the plate in the second. Doyle singled to centre, and he took third on Zim- shed a hard down the first base line.

M.C. A. Are Enlisting the Services of Well Known Sport Celeb- rities as Secretaries. By Alex.Sullivan. T is pleasing to seo the way the old-timers are rallying around the flag. Veteran athletes, boxers, football and baseball players, referees and umpires are offering their services to the various societies that are fur- nishing relief and entertainment for our soldiers. The Knights of Colum- bus and the Y. M. C. A. are besieged every day by many old stars who want to go across the seas to help look after the welfare of our fighting force, Before the end of the two cam- | Paigns for secretaries that are being conducted by both these organiza- | tions it is most likely that every well | known old-timer will have sailed for France, The Knights of Columbus are mak- ing rapid strides toward completing therr requisite list of secretaries. They are careful to engage those who by previous experience are qualified to handle men from all walks of life, The first man that the K. of C. en- gaged that is known the world over— in fact, he is the most famous sport- ing man yet engaged for this service —is Johnny Evers, the well known Jinx of the Giants. Another man known throughout the sporting world because of his iden- tification with historical events is Sam Fitzpatrick, and before the drive is over the K. of C. promises that several others equally well known will engaged for overseas work. Four names stand out among the} sports leaders of the overseas re- cruiting drive of the ¥. M. C. A, a cording to the Chairman of the com- | mittee, Herbert L. Pratt. Mr. Pratt stated that after the list | of volunteers had been sifted it was found that among them were Tom Sharkey, one-time heavyweight pugl- list; Jack McAuliffe, who retired with a record of never having taken a beating from a lightweight; Walter Dutch") Carter, Yale '96, greatest college baseball pitcher of ‘all time, and William (Bill) Roper, whose name will live long in the history of Princeton football, attack of rheumatism in the legs and if Bill Roper can arrange his busines: affairs in Philadelphia, both men | probably will be sent to the western | front to lead the fighting men in all sorts of games, from football and baseball to swat tag and leapfrog. Sharkey and McAuliffe combine such a variety of talents that it will be dificult to determine where they can be used to best advantage, The latter has made @ considerable repu- tation in vaudev and also has sev- eral reels of unusual film which he | has placed at the disposal of the Y, M. c. “The result of the campaign for | leaders in sports has by y cessful,” said Mr. Pratt. r | New York to gi n capable | of leading those homesick boys in France in healthy outdoor play, Platt ‘Adams, who has had active charge of the recruiting and will go to Frane soon, reports that he obtained seven- | ty five excellent pro ets during the week and expects to excee desired before the end of this week.” trick, the K. of = 4 Jack Johnson to the Sam is | really about the last of the old guard He is just a few months short of fifty |years old, He was born in Australia land came here when he was twenty i years old, but ts a naturalized cltizen "Tt was Sam who’ went over the top jwith the colored heavyweight and ob- at the title Ae though . | pl THEY WEAR GLOVES _IN ARMY FIGHTS TO PROTECT THEIR TOUGH If Dutch Carter can overcome an| TOUGHER CHINS. “HHS WILL BE A LONESOM!

Twenty-two years ago Sam Fits+ patrick took Kid Lavigne to London, where he met Dick Burge for the world’s lightweight title. This cham- plonship never left the U. 8. A. until Willie Ritchie went to London and dropped it to Freddie Welsh. How- ampionship is back here of Leonard's conquest of the Briton. Sam took Sharkey to London m 1902, where he fought Gus Ruhiin there during the coronation of King Edward. Sam also once managed Peter Jackson. He handled him in his fight with Jim Corbett in the memor- able sixty-one-round battle before (he California Athletic Club of San Fran- cixco. He took Peter to London jn 1890, where he defeated Jim. Smith, then heavyweight champion of Eng- land. In his day, Sam, who is now a rather rotund, gray-haired fellow, handled such men as Young Mitchell (Johnny Herbert) and a hundred other ‘flehtei reputations scarcely endured beyond the period that they were fighting. Besides his clever handling of fight- ers Fitzpatriok did quite a bit of work training oarsmen and bike riders.
