This evening the team will fro against the Newport Training School quintet, representing the Maoond Naval District, and tomorrow they will clash with the Fort flvs ftt Newport Evidently the stage all set for a F-alton-Willard bout. But where does Dempsey fit? Guess the syndicate behind the Fulton forces will not take any chances with a Dempsey go for there might be an upset in all proceedings. Jack Eller was a marvellous hurdler until Joe Loomis, Bob Simpson, Earl Tompson and Fred Murray burst qn the scene.

Jack is now somewhere in rance as the first of the Y. M. C. A. training unit for Uncle forces.

Joe Eagan opines that a boxer has to go away from his home town to be thoroughly appreciated, but Joe was pretty well treated around these parts. No announcement about a B. X. A. Marathon has been forthcoming, and as the race is only a little over a month an ay, It seems about time for the Unicorn officials to set us at eaae as to whether the big grind will be held as usual this season.

Andy Ward stood out as the best sprinter last season. He did not flash any record-breaking performances over the sprints, but in tho National chantpionships at Newark he beat Andy Kelly, Morse, Loomis and some more of the reputed 9 4-5 seconds men in 10 seconds handily. Ward Is entered for the fNational indoor championships in Philadelphia, March 16, and reports from the West state that he Is running as well as ever. Over In New York today and tomorrow the big moguls will discuss the forthcoming intercollegiate championships. With Harvard not putting In bid for the games this season, it is almost a foregone conclusion that Philadelphia will get the meet.

George Orton, who, along with Frank Ellis, will manage the Penn relay games, wants navy relay team to compete April 27. Camp Dix and Camp Devons also are expected to be among lha starters. Back to earth will be yell this year, and we sure are going to miss that Braves utility player.

ALL GARMENTS MADE IN MY OWN SHOP Opm TuMday, Tkunday Nlfhlt TOM WILSON LTD. BY PAUL H.

SHANNON The Red Sox team lost three more veterans yesterday when Connie Mack, insisting upon his pound of flesh, refused to make any change in the terms that forced the Boston club to hand over Larry Gardner, Tillie Walker and Forrest Cady to the Philadelphia outfit in exchange for Stuffy WILL MISS GARDNER passinR oC at least one of this trio will be sadly lamented by Boston fans. While the loss of Walker and Cady miKht be accepted with cheerful resignation, the grolng; of Gardner, onu of the most powerful batters on the team for years, one of Its most dependable members and a model player in every way. will be severely felt. The Vermont loss is one that can be considered almost Irreparable at this particular time. Inasmuch as the enlistment of Barry, Janvrin.

Cooney and McNally has broken up the infield. With Gardner and no player of anywhere near ms calibre to replace him, the Red Sox are in a very ticklish position. One of the very few New England boys upon the club, Gardner has been a star practically since he first broke into professional baseball, and his dreaded war club has been a powerful factor In bringing the three championships to the Hub. Joining the Red Sox from the University of Vermont in 1908, he was let out to a New England league club for that eeason, but in the spring of 1909 rejoined the Sox, and since that time has been rated as the best third sacker in the American league for all around value. It was his lengthy drive In the series of 1912 that let the winning run In for Boston in that memorable eighth and deciding game.

It was bat that helped to defeat Eppa Rlxey, Mayer and Alexander in the series of 1915. and it was tremendous home run drive off Rube Marquard In Brooklyn In 1916 that settled the fate of. that clmmpionshlp battle. Walker an In-and-Outer Walker, the outfielder to go, is an in-and-outer, and his departure will not be taken so much to heart. Walker came here from St.

Louis to take place, two years ago, gave a great account of himself the first season, helped to land a then stopped. year he was anything but a consistent per former, either at the bat or in tho field, and his work was signally disappointing. Cady, the catcher to depart, has played in three championships for Boston and worn a Boston uniform since the spring of 1912. He has slowed up much of late, was not reckoned as a first string backstop and would have been disposed of anyway, had not Mack included him In the trade. Cady took the place of Per.nock, who is enlisted in the navy and was therefore not free to join the Athletics.

When the deal for Mclnnis was made many weeks ago. Mack refused to accept any money for his star first sacker, as the outcry after the sale of Bush, Schang and Strunk was so violent that he was afraid to duplicate any other such deal. It was not until Frazee offered to exchange Gardner, Walker and Pennock that Mack decided to listen to him. Gardner Not Surprised As far as the Boston club is concerned, there can no longer be any hitch in the Mclnnis deal. Stuffy has signed with Boston, the Boston club i has surrendered claim to the llitee men named above, and now It is up to Connie Mack to get these three men In line.

The writer talked with Gardner over the long-distance phone to Enosburg Falls, last night, and apprised ihe sturdy third sacker of the change in his status. should I bo said papers have been hinting this very thing for the past few weeks, and where there is smoke there is always fire, you know. I figured that there was some such deal on, but I exactly certain that it would really go through. Of course, I hate to think of leaving the Boston club. All my friends are there.

But What can you do? When told that it had been that Mack was to make the salary limit players, Larry laughed and said that in that case hs would not be seen In Philadelphia, as he could make more money playing ball on the lots. J. Weldon Wyckolf sent in his signed contract to the Red Sox office yesterday. oxing ossip Would Shift Walker Mack to Make Deal With Miller Huggins but Is Unable to Get Players He Wants NEW YORK, Feb. the announcement of the Red Sox deal Manager Mack, it Is stated, conferred with Miller Huggins, manager of the New York Americans, with a view to transferring Walker to New York.

Mack, however, was unable to secure the players he desired In return for his newly acquired outfielder, and the deal was not closed. Jess Willard has announced that he Is willing to meet Fred Fulton In a title battle either July 4 or Labor Day. cheer yet, boys, for It is a long, long road to Inside the ropes for a genuine championship battle. Not trying to knock Fulton, but )t does not appear that Fred Is boosting his own game very strong when he publicly announces that in three rounds Frank Moran landed on his Jaw times. never touched is the customary explanation of a battle given by the victor.

Reading between the lines of statements made by both Willard and Fulton, neither intends to take a chance with Jack Dempsey prior to any fistic engagement which they may have with f.ach other. The matchmaker of the Douglas A. C. has scratched Paul Demeres of New Bedford from working at his club next Monday night because of Demeres matching himself for another bout prior to that date. He was originally scheduled to meet Charley Treyball.

is a good boy and all of that sort of said the matchmaker yescer- day. he might be beaten by Frankie Brown or injure his hands when they box Friday night. In either event it would mean a disappointment for the Douglas A. C. membem, and it is my duty to protect them from such.

Later on I may rematch know how much truth there may be in It, but a report came to this office yesterday that Providence will send up a big delegation to the Frankie Britt-Bllly DeFoe bout which Is scheduled for next Monday night at Chelsea. Like Britt, DeFoe has been Beating all comers and the contest shapes up as likely to be one of the big bouts of the year In this section. There are plenty who are picking DeFoe to romp home, a winner. In answer to many Inquiries, the Douglas A. C.

has no office in Boston. Members wishing to secure reservations may do so by Chelsea 1295-M, or visiting the clubhouse on Second street, Chelsea. Down in New Jersey the fans are cheering over the prospect- of a boxing law going Into effect In that State which will allow 10-round professional contests. Tho Legislature has already passes the bill and it awaits the signature. Bob Bowden of Newport telephoned yesterday that Young Joey of Utica, N.

now at the naval station, was anxious to tackle Joe Gibbs of Commonwealth Pier before any of the Boston clubs. Bowden declares that Joey has a big margin on a lot of the lightweights and is amply able to make Glhbs look like a novice. There are letters for Teddy Murphy, Patsey Green, Johnny Noonan and Billy Henderson- Kindly call today secure them. NAVY MEETS WANDERERS If Captain Bkilton and his Navy S4Ven are travelling at the same rate they did against the Arena on Wednesday, when they meet the Wanderers of New York at the Arena tomorrow night, the sallora have a good chance of wiping out the defeat they received at the hands of the New York seven in St. Nicholas Rink about 10 days ago.

The Navy showed better against ths Arena than they have for a month, the shift which sent Frankie Downing to centre Ice to work with Hutchinson proving a wise move.

It should be a big boost for the Cambridge man if he wins or holds him evbn. Local admirers of Robinson hope tp see him come through with colors flying, as they feel he would be entitled to a main bout at any of the Boston clubs.
