APPROACH Schoolboy Skating Meet For Evening World Trophy Marks New Athletic Era Chicago and New York Teams on Edge for Races in Brooklyn To-Day. By Robert Boyd. 'OUTH from the Middle West ver- sus youth of the Hast to-day, in ‘ine most colorful interscholastic skating meet yet staged in the his tory of national schoolboy athletics. ‘Two teams will compete for suprem- acy on the ice—one representing the thriving and pioneer metropolis of the Middle West, Chicago, the other New York, Trained and schooled under a staff numbering many of the greatest com- petitive skaters In the world, these skating champions in embryo will toe the starting line prepared fur the races of their young Lives. Regardless of the outcome to-da; whether the stalwart team of speed- sters from the Windy City triumph or their equally hardy Eastern rivals win, it marks the beginning of a new era in national interscholastic ath- letic relations, Mayor William Hale Thompson and the head of each of the municipal de- partments of Chicago arrived this morning on the Twentieth Century Limited. They will be the guests of Mayor Hylan and the Entertainment Committee at the Brooklyn Ice Palace, where the races are to take place at 2.30 this afternoon. ‘The Chicago team,arrived in town yesterday afternoon in charge of Julian Fitzgerald, Chairman of Mayor Thompson's Ice Skating Committee, and Coach MoWorthier, a prominent skater from Chicago.

Considerable interest is be- ing taken in the afternoon game, as the New York Five have been de- feating the pick of Eastern teams since the season started, They will line up with such stars as Grabel, Birdie, Grieve, Farrell and Goldman. The Knickerbocker Five has alao been playing in excellent ‘form, and hope to give the Celtics one of the hardest games they have yet com- peted in.

CHICAGO LADS GIVEN A ROYAL WELCOME HERE. At the hotel the New York boys welcomed the visitors just as they might have some of their own asso- clates returning home, Gree! were exchanged, “How do you like New York?” and “We hope the best team wins.” In all it was a friendly reception to @ group of boys who have travelled a long way, ambitious of taking The Evening World Trophy back to the Iinois city. New York schoolboys travelled to Chicago last year in the first inter- city baseball game between those two cities. New York won, and since then the Chicagoans have been anxiously awaiting a chance to even up matters with the local boys. Fresh from their sensational vic- tories over Cleveland, Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, the Windy City boys are brimful of confidence that they will carry back the victor’s share on their Westward trip home, It was a quiet, unassuming party of boys, these twenty Chicago young- sters who paraded up Park Avenue accompanied by the New York Fire Department Band, Clear-eyed and ruddy complexioned, straight as young saplings and smiling the con- fident smile of youth, they were pre- sented to Anning Prall, President of the Board of Education, who reviewed them at the Board of Education Building, 60th Street and Park Ave~ nue. Mr. Prall shook hands with each of these athletic youngsters and congratulated them individually on their being selected out of a group of over 10,000 schoolboys to make the trip east. After being reviewed by Mr, Prall the boys returned to the hotel for hunch. In the afternoon the team was taken on a sightseeing trip through the lower and financial district. They the Stock Exchange, City Hall, the Municipal and the Woolworth Buildings. CHICAGO SCHOOLBOYS HAVE WORKOUT IN BROOKLYN. Many of these youngsters who have never been outside the environs of Chicago marvelled at the metrop- olis of th¢ United States, which is rated a little ahead of their own great city. Late in the afternoon the Chicago team journeyed over to the Brooklyn Ice Palace for thelr first workout on the course where the meet will be held. Attired in maroon-colored skating togs these little men, led by their coach, McWorthier, sped around the visited the Sub-Treasury, rink as if they had spent their entire| youth circling its tricky corners. * Last night the team retired short; after dinner while the committee charge was being entertained at the Hippodrome by the Entertainment Committee in charge of William Cohan. On arising this morning the twenty boys all felt well and promised Coach MeWorthier that they would.all con- tribute their best in upholding the skating prestike of Chicago. The New York team is in excellent condition for the races ‘this afteravon, and although at the start of their training they did not show up so well, Coach Tom Howard says that he has developed the classiest team out of & group of raw novices that he knows are close to unbeatable. Three members of each team will be entered in tho eight championahip | races, a team of four competing in the relays. There will also be several fancy skating exhibitions and a hockey match. At the Commodore this evening a dinner will be given to both teams, with Mayor Hylan, Mayor Thompson and the officials from the two cities present. An attempt will be made after the races to-day to arrange for an annual series similar to to-day’s events that have paved the way to a holding of inter-city athletic meets often, whic! as Mayor Thompson of Chicago say “does more to bring the distant cities together than the promoting of any 40 other meetin the large field of atn- Seba by the Press Publishing Co, (The New York Evening World.

By Richard Freyer. ¥UDGING from the entries received J by the New York Athletic Club, to-night’s indoor games of* the Mercury Foot organization at the 22a Regiment Armory should furnish some of the best competitions of the season. In addition to a lengthy pro- gramme of sprints, middle distance, long distance races and field events, two sterling contests are promised In the headline attractions, the Buer- meyer 600-yard run and the two-mile intercollegiate relay. In the former race, Bernie Wefers No Draws in Bouts at Boston; . Referees Must Name Winner —>— Boxing Commission Believes There fs Always Some Su- periority Shown in Boxing, By John Pollock. In the future all professional box- ing bouts which are staged at the different clubs in the State of Massa- chusetts will have one of the prin- cipals declared a winner. There will be no draws permitted. The Boxing Commission of Massachusetts has Just notified all authorized judges and referees officiating in these bouts that they must not call any bouts a draw, but must render a decision to one of the contestants. The point made by the Commissioners is that there is always a shade or more ad- vantage in one man's favor which should entitle him to the decision. It is to be hoped that the ,Boxing Commission in this State will make the same ruling, as it would make the fighters work harder for the de- jon, and also put a stop to the oting which has followed many of the decisions rendered by the judges and referees in bouts held at the lo- cal clubs. Jimmy Johnston has decided to stare only three twelve-round bouts instead of four conteste at nest boxing show at the Central Manhattan Sport ing Club at Manhattan Casino on next Th night. He bas called off the Charley Welnert-Jack Moran bout. ‘The there twolverround contests will be a follows: Kid Norfolk va Piuky Tewls, coi ored heatywotehits, in the main go; Matting ve- vinsky vs. Homer Smith of Chicago, and Jack Wolfe of Clewiand vs. Marty Cotilnn, Danny Sujlivan, the licensed referce of New Jer sey and Now York State, bas Just been appointed referee of the Amateur Athiette Union boxing beuts Danny ought to be kept busy, as he will get many chances to officiate at t At the Commonw tonight, Tom MeArdie will hy the sturdy Harlem fighter, \ the promising battler, also of Hatiem, tm the mata 60 of ten rounds, Fentour ba smcoession with quick inockouts Dateien Sammy Stone in another ten-round ga ‘There | Will be three other good contests, ‘Toe regular weekly boxing show of the Ridse- to-night.

Jimmy O'Brien of Brooklyn, Tom Campbell of Yale, Stevenson of Princeton, who is con- sidered one of the best men at the 600-yard distance, and Walter Kop- pisch, the Columbia youth, will also start. From this array of talent the chances of creating a new record for the race are bright. Wefers will not confine his activities to the above contest. He is also sched- uled to start in a 75-yard handicap event. Ed Farrell, the Brooklyn ath- lete, who has shown more improve- ment in recent races than any other runner, will also face the starter in this contest. ‘The intercollegiate relay at two | miles will bring together teams from Cornell, Yale and Syracuse. The first mentioned has informed the Winged Foot Committee that they will be rep- resented by the strongest team ever turned out at that college. Thomas McDermott, Charley Irish, Charles Carter and M. E. Richman will com- pose the four. McDermott, Carter and Richman were three members of the Ithacan college who competed against the Oxford and Cambridge teams last Christmas. Carter and McDermott finished second and third respectively In this race, and there is no doubt they will offer stiff opposition to their opponents to-night. Ha! Cuthbill, the “Flying Parson” of the Roston A. A., was scheduled to compete in the Baxter mile, but the Winged Foot Athletic Committee an- nounced the out of town star would not be able to start. Cutbill injured his foot in a recent race against Joie Ray in Boston and the Hub runner feels he would not be justitied taking @ chance against such a feld as he would have been compelled to meet.

SHREVEPORT, La, March §,—The good Col. Ruppert may not be aware of it, but the team named in hi honor easily defeated Col Huston’ at Gasser Park in the first Practice game that has been played in the Yankee training camp this year, It was a six-inning affair, and the score was 9 to 3. The supremacy of the two teams, for the day at least, was decided right {n the first inning, when he Col. Rup- perts chased no less than half dozen runs over the plate at the ex- pense of Earl Johnson, the youhg right hander from the Cedartown Club. Johnson was a bit unsteady and so was the infleld that supported him. He steadied himself after a bad start, and only one more run was scored off him. In the first inning Nelson Hawks, the young six-footer from the Calgary Club, and Tom Con- nolly from Tulsa, showed the fans and Miller Huggins a sample of their hitting ability. With two on, Hawks inserted a mighty poke that sailed far over Christensen’s head, It was only Christensen's great speed in going, back to the fence that robbed Hawks of a home run, As it was, the hit netted him three bases and laid the foundation for the Rup- perta’ victory. A few minutes later the lant polly amashed a double to arte the bul hitting the fence, but to Norma that the MeMillan, promising young bal penville Club of the ue, goes the credit first real home run of the Yankee training season.

The feature event of this evening's - programme is a one-mile battle for the indoor championship. America, Italy and Germany will be represented in this event and the winner will be presented with a gold medal embie- matic of the’ world’s indoor title by Tex Rickard. In addition, the race calls for a $5,000 purse. ‘The starters will be Frank Kramer, the grand old man of the game: Orlano Piani, Abe Kauffman and Walter Rutt. It will be the latter rider’s first American appearance since he won the race in 1912. The race will be run in three heats, first money going to the rider taking two heats. According to a statement made by Rutt upon his arrival several days ago, the fans of this country will have plenty of opportunity to witness his work in the near future. He clatmed he would stay in America, and has made preparations to take out his first papers in the near future, Another important race on to- night's card will be a mixed team contest, with Brocco and Egg com- peting against McNamara and Willi« Spencer.
