Welterweights Sign for Ten -Round Contest; McGoorty Gets Good Worko ut for Motia Fight.

Sailor Kill Walters, the idol of the naval training station on the north lake shore, and Spike Kelly, who is well thought of by the Irish on the north side, have at last been matched. Managers George Iugdale and Fred Oilmore have been bickering and dickering these many weeks, but yesterday was the first time they ever attached their signatures to the same set of articles. The rival welters, leading candidates for the championship of thst class, are to battle ten' rounds without a decision at Kenosha on the evening of April 8. They have agreed to weigh 145 pounds at 3 o'clock and will post $100 forfeits for weight and appearance. Dugdale and Gilmore conferred yesterday for an hour with Matchmaker Nate Lewis of the Kenosha club and finally settled all disputes. The fighters will each get 25 per cent of the gross gate regardless of how the popular decision goes.

New York, March 21. The New York Yacht club today received a cable message from the Royal Ulster Yacht club of Belfast, Ireland, asking that the
