E IS QUE

Oklahoma City, March 23. Hour of

the White Sox hopefuls have lost their

meal tickets and are on the way from

whence they came. After Manager Duffy and his regulars arrived here last night they found a telegram from Secretary Grabiner at Fort Worthjsay-

Ing that Donahue, Brlnker, Helnrichs

and Reynolds would leave for points

where major league dope is fed In homeopathio doses. Donahue goes

back to Hot Springs, Brlnker to Vancouver, Heinrlchs to Brandon, Canada, and Reynolds to Columbus, Ga.

With the departure of Donahue ends

the dream of "Jiggs 'about "coming

back." He will return to take charge of his billiard room and bowling alleys

in the Valley of Vapors. "Jiggs" ac

tually believed that he had a chance

for first base position, but Manager Duff apparently thought not, as It is understood that the departure of the

four was decided on before Cozniskey

left for home.

CUBBY IS WllitlER: BBOIISOII DEFEATED

London, March 23. America split even with England in two ring contests here last night. Jimmy Clabby.

who is being groomed for a welter

weight championship contest with

Harry Lewis, earned the decision over Harry Duncan, a local welterweight.

ajfter twenty rounds of milling.

. " ..b,..v

Pweight, met an unfortunate defeat at

the hands of Sid Burns. The two had

battled through eighteen rounds with

the Yankee having a shade the better of the boxing. In the nineteenth round Bronson struck an unintentional

foul and was promptly disqualified by

the referee. The ending of the bout

caused great disappointment among

the spectators, who wanted to see the

contest go to a decision.

The bouts were decided before Hugh Mcintosh's club at Olympia and were

witnessed by a large crowd.

Clabby probably will get an early

match with Harry Lewis or Jim Sulli

van, the middleweight champion. The

American is willing to give away

weight to get a chance at Sullivan. A match between Bronson and Matt

Wells, the English lightweight cham

pion, has been under discussion for

some time. It Is not considered prob

able that Bronson's defeat on a foul will hurt his chances for a go with

the conqueror of Freddie Welsh.

TAMPA IS CLOSED

Oil SHORT NOTICE, OWNERS HIT HARD

Tampa, Fla.. March 23. Racing at

the West Tampa track came to an

abrupt and unceremonious ending yes

terday with the running of the sixth

race. Severe financial losses during the past week was the prime cause in the decision to close down, but the lack

of sufficient entries, lack of public

patronage and the fact that many of the stables had been shipped away hurried the end.

The action in suddenly terminating

the sport hit the owners now here somewhat hard, as they were totally unprepared for the move. It was in

timated that the meet was on its last

legs, but little attention was paid to reports which ordinarily leap like wild fire through the different stables. For a while after the action was verified consternation reigned among the owners, as they were caught high and dry with the stables and without a place to ship or faculties to do so.

Following a canvass of the owners present it was announced that a meeting will be given at Pensacola to start on March 31. It will be of fifteen days' duration and was decided upon following the assurance of enough stables being shipped there to make the move a financial success as well as otherwise. The program of purses and races will be given out as soon as some definite action Is taken, which will be shortly. The decision to close up at Tampa was urged principally by Judge Burk, who feared scandal would result were the meeting to be prolonged any longer. As It was the dates had been extended nine days beyond the original closing date, and the promoters explained the sudden ending as not surprising in view of the fact that the extra days had already been included on the program.

to have an Innate idea that offense is the best defense the husbands usually have to be fully on their guard against the numerous blows aimed at them. "In the matter of hitting straight from the shoulder I do not find a woman to be a very apt pupil, but when a woman has a man opposed to her to steady her she is inclined to give downward hammer blows precedence over all else. It is amusing, but it is not boxing. "But if women are not very skillful Just yet there is no mistaking their enthusiasm for boxing. Most of my pupils take three lessons a week. They use five-ounce gloves and dress in blue serge shorts and loonglsh loose coats."

BRITISH GOLFING STARS WILL PLAY III CHICAGO

Jamie Braid, veteran British golf champion, may reconsider his deter

mination not to cross the Atlantic. If

he does he will be a starter in the na tlonal open championship at the Chi cago club links, Wheaton.

This Information wae brought to

Chicago yesterday by Stewart Gard

ner, golf expert of the Exmoor Country club, and Jamie A. McDonald, professional at the Glen View club, who returned yesterday from winter trips to their homes in Scotland. "i . They say the championship at Wheaton June 23 and 24 will have the world's greatest exponents of the game as starters. "It is not certain that Braid will come," said Gardner, "but it is certain that Harry Vardon, George Duncan and J. H. Taylor, the remainder of the 'big four' of the world's stars, will be here. "Braid repeatedly has refused offers to visit the United States, chiefly because he fears seasickness. The Scotch think, however, that when the other three board the ship Jamie will be along." It has been learned since the Mexican war scare caused the Mexican

j Country club to abandon plans for the ! greatest golf tourney the world ever ' knew, the Champion Willie Smith of j the big organization at Cherubusco,

Mexico, practically closed with the "big four" of golf to play in Mexico for a $5,000 cash prize list.

COURT DELAYS ROLIilG III COAST FIGHT CASE

Los Angeles. Cal., March 23. The all day legal battle waged In Justice Reeves' court yesterday between the prosecution and the defense in the case of the state against Messrs. Wolgast, Memsio, McCarey and Eyton, charged jointly with promoting and participating in a prize fight, resulted in a no decision affair. Justice Reeves announcfed that . by Monday, April 3. he , would have had sufficient time in which to settle, in his own mind, the questions of "what is a boxing contest?" and "what is a prize fight?" The defendants were arrested at the finish of the nine-round contest be

tween Ad Wolgast and George Memsic last Friday. Deputy District Attorney Ford mads it pretty clear in his argument that, in his belief at least, Messrs. Wolgast, Memsic, McCarey and Eyton had been participants in a prize fight. Attorney Harry Delim, for the defense, said the legislature had practically legalized boxing contests in a law of several years' standing, wherein it is stipulated that "boxing contests of a limited number of rounds, may be held by an organized athletia club upon the payment of a certain license fee," or words to that effect. "His Honor" called for time in which to train.

Cecil Ferguson says that the Boston Nationals gave him a raw deal and that he has quit the game for good. Mayor Gaynor of New York will tosa out the first ball when the Giants open the season at the Polo Grounds on April 12.

versity, and a committee comprising Dean E. H. Wells, Hyllger de Windt. the football manager, and W. C. Garcelon, treasurer of the athletic associa

SOCIETY WOMEN TAKE TO G0XII1G 111 EllGLAHD

Boxing has become popular among athletic English women. They are often spectators at boxing contests and they are taking lessons In boxing. One teacher said: "Several of my pupils are well known in the social world, and the reckless way In which some of them risk black eyes and cut lips is astonishing. "And my women 'boxers are not all young athletic girls. On the contrary, most of them are married women between thirty and forty. "Nothing seems to please my scholars more than a short bout with their husbands, and as most of them seem

TOMMY MURPHY STARTS TRAINING New York. March 23. Tommy Murphy, the local lightweight, who will be the next chap to try conclusions with the redoubtable Packey McFarland of

Chicago, has shaken oft his recent attack of malaria and is eager to meet the Chicagoan. Murphy began training yesterday, going twelve fas'., rounds as a trj-out. The Harlemlte'H followers. It was learned today, arc displaying considerable concern over the possible ring tactics which Packey will practice in the forthcoming bout. Johnny Oliver, Murphy's manager, said today: "There's only one thing I stipulate in the conduct of the coming bout. McFarland has a habit of fouling, and he's so tricky about It that he isn't caught. He knocked Jack Goodman out by pulling Jack's head forward with his left and hitting with the right at the same time. I watched him in the Moran fight, and he kept Jabbing the heel of his glove into Owen's .face. It's against the rules to use anything but the padded knuckles. Packey can do anything he likes. The only thing we'll insist on is that if Packey wants to use a few little tricks of this sort Murphy must have the same privilege. Tommy will meet him at his own game."
