Jimmy Handler proved last night at the Arena that be could box without monkeying. Charley Johnson, whom he met on a certain occasion before, was again his opponent, and he simply wasn't iu It, from a boxing standpoint.

Although Handler nearly wore himself out punching and punching at the Phll-adelphian, it might safely be said that the latter was as strong at the finish as his opponent. The first round was very light and not at all like they boxed on the occasion of their former meeting. The second opened somewhat stronger, both mixing it up pretty well, and Handler seemed to be the most clever. Charley poked out his left, laying for his favorite right-hand punch. Handler landed three lefts In the stomach and a right cross.

crura. getting away without a return. Towards the close of the round Jobuson was floured. Handler started the next round with a straight left on Johnson's uose. Handler worked very hard and fast and tried first left and then right, hut could not laud.

Johnson landed several very hard lefts. The fourth round was all Handler's. Johnson did not even seem to be able to lay his left glove on Handler. Johnson got an awful punching on the body In this. round, but did not seem weak at the finish.

Handler if anything worked harder on Johnson in the fifth round than in the preceding, and near the close of the round he threw Johnson after clinching. The last round was nearly a repetition of the preceding, with Handler the aggressor and the honor man. No decision was given. Preceding the main bout of the evening was a six-round go between Leslie Pierce, of Camden, and Billy Payne, of Baltimore. Pierce was booked to he an easy winner in this bout, but he did not come quite up to expectations, and In the last round he lost his temper over hidr Inability to land on Payne.

He also showed very bad spirit at the close of the bout by refusing to shnke hands with Payne. For this he was roundly hissed. Pierce was the aggressor from the start, but did not seem to land with any degree of effectiveness in the fore part of the bout. Payne held out his left hand In his usual aggravating manner, but he didn't land it often. Pierce continued on the aggressive, and during the third round he put it on to the Balllinorean in good style.

Payne started in the fourth with a rush and scored a clean knock down with a righthand swing on the held. Pierce took his time getting up. and then sailed Into Payne, landing both hands rather cleanly. Payne did quite the best work during the lively part of the fifth round, but altogether there was not much boxing during this round. Payne had much the better of the last round.

The show opened with a six-round bout lietween Cal McCarthy and Steve Flanagan. Paddy Diinc.van and Jack Lynch followed In a six-rounder. The last of the preliminaries was a red-hot argument of six rounds between John Klnlow, an ex-amateur boxer of Pittsburg, and young Jack McDonald, of this city. This was a good clever go. At a meeting of the athletic advisory committee of the University of Pennsylvania, held at Dr.

Smith's office, In Chemical Hall, last night, George Megargee was declared Ineligible to row on the crew this year. Names of candidates for the crew and base ball teams were submitted, ten candidates for the ball team and over eighty for the crew. All names, with the exception of that of Megargee, were referred to the different departmental committees. The Advisory Board decided that Megargee, being a dropped student, was not eligible for the crew and not even eligible to practice. Megargee rowed No.

2 on the 'Varsity last year and was eonsiaereri one or ine oest in tne boat. When seen last evening Captain Boyle, of the 'Varsity crew, said: "In regard to the action of the athletic committee debarring Megargee from becoming a candidate for the 'Varsity crew I consider It a serious and uyfortunato circumstance which will greatly affect the prospects of the crew of 7. Megargee Is unquestionably one or. tnn cleanest and strongest men now trying for the 'Varsity. However, I feel confident that In such a decision the committee was actuated absolutely by a desire to continue the purity of Pennsy's athletics." The crews rowed yesterday In the usual order, and Coach Ward Is gradually lengthening the time of practice, the 'Varsity men now rowing about thirty minutes.

Captain Fowler, of the college freshman foot-ball team, was appointed captain of the college freshman crew yesterday by Captain Boyle. The Yale-Harvard difficulties are scheduled for absolute adjustment at the meeting tonight of the Harvard athletic committee at Cambridge. The outcome of the meeting Is uncertain to all save those In the Inner circle, but whatever It Is it will be acceptable to all in that they are heartily tired of the matter. The Indications point to the arrangement of the differences and the concession by Yale of some vital point. What this may be can only be surmised; but If dispatches from New Haven are to be believed it is the agreement to admit Cornell to the Yale-Harvard race.

This will permit Harvard to meet both, and It will be very acceptable to her. As to Cornell, there Is no reason why she should not accept the race gladly. Should she not do so, she would certainly falsify her former position, her willingness to meet all comers at any time. Not only this, she would sacrifice the opportunity of doing college sport a great good. i The two colleges are unquestionably the leaders In rowing In this country.

A meeting between the two can but be a good thing. It must lead to the improvement of that particular sport, and probably to the advancement of other branches. It may lead Yale to further concessions, and the eventual abandonment of her pres ent exclusive policy. If she should ever abandon this Idea there could be no continuance of the present collegiate dissensions, for Princeton would soon follow suit. The possibility of Cornell refusing to enter without Pennsylvania in such a race with Yale and Harvard Is unlikely.

It would be decidedly unfortunate, in that It would probably gain Pennsylvania nothing, and lose much to Cornell and college sport Cornell has no right whatever to demand such a thing, and It would be ungracious to Harvard in tie extreme. If she enter and request Yale to admit Pcnn also, it would be different; but to attempt to force Penn In would be decidedly Impolitic. Not only that, but Penn would hardly consent to enter on those terms. She would hare to sacrifice all her dignity to do so, and bring her no gain. However, If Yale accede to a request to.admlt her, after the tripartite race Is arranged, well and good, and Penn would doubtless gladly Improve" the chance.

What Is true of Penn is true of Columbia. Cornell standing by the two In the way suggested would be a mistake, and a serious one, out of which no good would come. Rumor has It Penn has challenged Yale to base ball games this spring. She has not, and will not. If Manager Brooke, of Yale, desires games he can have them for the asking, but he must ask.

The same Is Penn's attitude toward Princeton. Tuxedo's Great Show To-Morrow Night. An unusually attractive programme has been arranged for the Tuxedo Club's twenty-eighth professional boxlpg show, which takes place In the amusement hall of that organization to-morrow night. Five six-round bouts have been arranged, and the two principal oues, a double wind-up, as It were, will be between Leslie Pearce and Tom McCuen. of Michigan, and Charley Johnson, of Philadelphia, and Dick Moore, of Chicago.

"In this condition of affairs there is prom- Jse of the elimination of politics from the consideration of the tariff, and the reduction of this problem to a purely business question. Tariff a Business Problem. His advice upon the subject touched upon Tour points.

They were: We should treat the tariff question solely as a business problem: should urge moderation and conservative action in any revision of the customs laws; we should seek to obtain for every industry in this country conditions which shall at least place them upon a basis of equality with foreign competitors; we should use our influence to the, fullest possible extent in securing the substitution of specific duties for ad valorem rates.in order 10 remove as far as possible the opportunity for fraudulent Undervaluations of imports. So forcibly did his address impress the members that Charles Hoher Clark, who had earlier welcomed the delegates to Philadelphia. In place of Mayor Warwick, who was detained at the Market street tire, made a motion in the afternoon to form an extraordinary committee to mke a reort on this subject to this convention to-day. Charles Hcber Clark, George J. Sesibury, Frederick S.

Fish, J. H. Hanson and Lyman B. Jewell were appointed to serve. "I have no doubt," said Mr.

Seabury from the floor, "that Congress will listen to the rvoicu ui mi iiniuciuuiiii wnicu now milliners. oi me uium luuiieuuaj nuns in ine Lniiea States, and if it. keeps up its present rate of Increase, number 2,500 firms In two years." In tones no less forcible the report of the president touches upon other matters. Reciprocity with other nations was termed of vital importance and the association was asked to use all its influence to secure reciprocity provisions in any new tariff laws. "The principles of protection which have proved themselves so efficient in developing our Internal industries, must be applied to the restoration of our merchant marine," was a sentence which brought much applause in the section relating to the building up of a commercial navy.

Sample Warehouses Abroad. The need of sample warehouses for American goods in foreign countries was also urged and China, Mexico and the South American States were named as the most Inviting. Fears that Japan might prove a ruinous trade competitor were reported unfounded, since manufactures there were confined to few goods, which would Increase in cost as the standard of living rose. The prophecy that Japan would prove a valuable customer in the future. An exposition of the Nicaragua Canal question was summed up as follows: The Nicaragua Canal would be of great value to the United States In Its trade with own Pacific coast, the west coast of South America and with the Orient.

Under no circumstances should the control of this canal, If constructed, be permitted to pass into the hands of any of the European powers. The construction of public works of such magnitude necessitates the assistance or Indorsement of some great power, as unassisted private enterprise shrinks from so great an undertaking. The assistance of the United States Government is necessary to Insure the construction of this canal, and the control of the completed works should be vested in our government In order to prevent It from becoming a menace to our interests In the bands of some other nation. Reform in the Consular Service. There were few other suggestions.

Reform In the consular service was advised on the basis of a system of appointments and promotions based solely upon merit; tenure of during continued good conduct and competency; compensation sufficient to'induce competent men to enter and remain-In the service. Protection of American trade-marks, uniform freight classification, a national bankruptcy law with uniform regulations throughout the country, and the formation of a new Federal Department of Commerce and Manufacture, to include the consular service, Bureau of Statistics and many bureaus now In the Treasury Department, were earnestly recommended. Besides the regular convention work there iwas much visiting done to the Commercial Museum and to large manufacturing concerns. In the evening there was an exceptionally jolly crowd at a smoker given at the Walton and between singing and talking and conviviality, no one went to bed until the wee sma' hours. The convention continues today.
