ksecnard-Britton } Match Off; Would Find Out Reasons L 2V. T. Boxing Commission to Investigate Postponement of Mixed Title Bout. NEW TOEK, June 9—The New York State boxing commission, it is understood from unofficial sources, is about to make some embarrassing inquiries inbom the failure of Benny I.eonard and Hark Britton to honor the terms of an Agreement whereby they were to meet In some nearby ring June 2X The so called match is off. it now develops, and members of the commission are said to have become mildly curious as to what motives, if any, prompted the abandonment of the fistic enterprise. Ostensibly, the men declined to have further Identification with the matter when the eminent Mr. Rickard made known bis intention and desire to traus for the match from Boyle's thirty acre?. Jersey City, to the Nw York Velodrome. They Immediately spoke for money when this rather depressing bit of news was imparled, evidently feeling that a bout to a decision in New York was worthy of more remuneration than a noUecision canter in Jersey City. Rickard insisted that they live up to the terms of their original agreement, and this seemed tantamount to declaring the entire proposition null and void I.eonard and Britton immediately exited, laughingly, and Rickard turned his casual attention elsewhere. Members of the boxing commission, however, are said to have developed a more inquiring turn of mind.
AMATEUR DON’TS AND PERT POINTERS
if you are a catcher, don't get into all sorts of awkward positions back of the bat, but learn a steady position that gives your pitcher a good target to shoot at. Don't get down on on knee, or fare half-sideways. Aiway- be directly back of the piate. Give your signals with your glove and breast protector covering them, learn to help out jour twlrlers and team-mates with a good flow of ehatkfer. Don't hesitate on your throws. P Peg the ball hard and often. The opposition won't take so many chances ou the paths.

I Billy Evans Says
Navy Big Favorite in Regatta Who will win the Poughkeepsie regatta? If the Navy loses, it will be the biggest sport uraet of the year. Cornell, however, must be given much consideration. The Ithacans have a great varsity crew this year. A . . It is to be regretted that the Comeli-Harvard race was prevented because of rough water. It was the first time a race was ever called off at Cayuga for that reason. The Harvard race would hav o proved a great conditioner for The showing of Cornell may prove that the big Red crew needed the Harvard race to make it fit for the Poughkeepsie classic. The other crew regarded in high favor Is that of the I uiversity of ..ashlngton, On the Pacific coast they feel that Washington wilt duplicate on the water the f. at scored by university of California on the track. _ . , , Some xveeks ago the news was flashed from Seattle that w ashlngrton had beaten the California eight by ten lengths, establishing anew low Pacific coast record. Sueh a decisive victory over a crew like California made the Washington crew stand out. „ _ . , During the recent Intercollegiate meet at Boston I met a number of the crack athletes from the coast representing California and Stanford. I asked several of th-in about Washington and the intercollegiate regatta. All admitted that Washington had a chance, but most of them doubted the ability of Washington to beat either the Navy or In trying to dope out a real good reason why >* ashlngton ought to r>© the favorite I recalled its victory over Gallfornla by ten lengths. This statement on my part caused several of the California athletes to offer an explanation for that decisive victory, which is/ news to the East. The I'alifornia crew of this year was ore of the best ever turned out. However, shortly after the start, Howell, who rowed No. 5, got into trouble. An Injury to his back, the slipping of three vertebrae, caused a paralysis that resulted in the crew carrying the dead weight of one man the entire distance. The Navy, generally regarded rs the favorite, has a powerful crew. All the men are six feet or beater The heaviest member of the eight Is 184 and the average veight of the crew, 174. The Fniverslty of Washington eight is slightly heavier.
