The single matches were exception- ally well played. By far the fastest match was between Egbert, junior, and Bartz, a second year man. Egbert, whose playing was sensational throughout won. Bartz, however, showed good form, playing fast ten- nis, and providing at all times ex- cellent competition for his opponent.

He's running a race course across so San Diego could profit. That was the border from California at Tia Juana, Mexico. Fight, he believes, is such a dead issue that a man would be foolish to the extreme to believe he could resurrect it in the far west. Talks About Pacific Coast Days "Boxing was popular and attractive sport when it flourished in California," said Coffroth. "People liked to come out here to see the big mills because they knew they were going to see a fight and not a stalling exhibition. Such tactics as Freddie Welsh has employed in desperately clinging to the empty glory of holding his doubt- ful lightweight championship would have been absolutely imposible in the days of the big mills at' Vernon and other centers. "A champion had to fight in those days. Even New York, big as it is, could not have competed with Cali- fornia as a boxing center had the free rein been left unchecked for us. The greatest fights in the history of Mar- quis of Queensbury exhibitions have been staged in this grand old state. The greatest champions the game ever has known have won and lost their titles fighting in California. It was the whole story. He has quit boxing as a profession forever. There never will be any more of the great Croffroth scraps unless boxing is restored in California. Apparently He States Truth The truth of Coffroth's remarks in respect to the public's love of a de- cision at the end of a bout is too well known. The grief that has been scat- tered around the city of New York through the incompetence of no-de- cision fights is enough to make Joe Gans turn over in his grave. The ex- hibitions that have been staged, main- ly by Freddie Welsh, but also by others, through the fact that it is easy to take advantage of the Frawley law are awful to memorize. Heavyweights, bantams, feathers-they've all been in on the great old game of putting it over the public. Welsh's case has been the worst. He never has been known to really fight since he won his title from Willie Ritchie. It could not have happened with a decision per- mitted by the laws. Governor Whitman is determined that legalized boxing shall not survive r New York. Neither the Varsity nor the verdants were able to falter into anything that looked like a counter during the ex- tent of two periods. Both pitchers were hit-proof but Captain Brandell stated that is was too dark to see any- way. otherwise there would have been a sadly walloped freshman baseball aggregation. It is rumored that the authority just mentioned spoiled his batting average in attempting to' fast- en his eagle eye on the ball, and rumor further intimates that a fortiori there was a caustic comment or two forthcoming. The final score was 0-0, which is also indicative of the disappointment some of the junior members of the opposing teams felt at not being able to playfor the benefit.of certain fair onlookers., Box score and summaries: Thunder, lightning, and rain. ,tent a good Kodak for 10c today of Lyndon.

New York, May 19.-When June 1 reaches the baseball season the un- complaining fan will begin to dig into his jeans for an extra two or three or five cents whenever he passes the turnstiles at a baseball park. That's the way the baseball magnates are go-. ing to pay their war tax. The efforts of Governor John K. Tener, president. of the National league, and of Ban Johnson, president of the American league, saved the magnates the trouble of handing out a percentage of their gross receipts. Govyernor Tener's clear knowledge of the' problem and his influence un- doubtedly saved what probably would havebeen a bad day for baseball. Baseball is a little different from most businesses. A baseball club has to win a lot of baseball games to en- joy a really profitable season. Usually six clubs in an eight-club wheel' are far enough down in the race to be losing ventures or be able only to struggle through with an even break. One club in any league is al- most certain to have a losing season, and the rule generally works for two or three clubs. The tax will be levied by means oft stamps, placed on the ticket by the fan. This is the plan that is working in Canada. Try a Michigan Daily Want-Ad.
