Charley White, the Chicago light weight, stopped Sam Robideau, of Philadelphia, in the first round of a scheduled six-round bout here tonight. After Robideau had received a terrific uppercut on the point of the jaw and had been knocked down three times for tlie count of nine, the Philadel phian's seconds, fearing he was in a helpless condition, stopped the fight.

C. H. A.

The Coast fans will remember well the hockey way of three years ago, when the Coast league raided the N. II. A. and copped off three of the Quebec stars? Benedict was one of the disappointed members of that coup, as the P. C.

H. refused to consider his salary demands. Benedict at that time, was under reserve by the Ottawa club, though he had not signed a contract. Lester Patrick went East after a goal tender and Benedict was among the few he approached. The Ottawa youth, then a raw recruit, refused to budge for a reasonable figure and demanded a contract calling for 1,500 for the season and a Job in addition.

The Victoria magnate tried to reason with Benedict but the latter was firm and would not stir an inch. The result was that Benedict was left to work ffir a paltry $600 which the Ottawa club offered him as second string goal tend. Con Jones brought Benedict to the Coast two years ago, along with Bobby Pringle, the Ottawa defence player, but the goal tender could not butt into the Vancouver line-up. It will he seen, therefore, that he has double grudge against the Coast clubs and Vancouver fans will witness a rare exhibition of goal tending when the world's series opens next Monday night. 1915 Racing Dates The following is a complete list of racing dates for the season of 1915: Southern Maryland Fair Association, Bowie, April 1 to April 14 (12 days).

They require their pupils to bring to school at least once each week two potatoes, two carrots, two turnips or other vegetables to be devoted to provisioning the military hospitals. No, child is allowed to bring more than two, in order that no jealousies may be created.

With the exception of the first round, in which Clabby opened a gash oVer Ahearn's eye, the English champion excelled.
