Recently a well known sporting authority desired to send a letter to boxer Les Darcy, now in this country, and entrusted the communication to a friend about to sail for the States. The letter was found in his possession just before the ship left the dock. As a result he was fined $50 and the writer $125, after a hearing which caused the bear- er of the letter to lose his passage on the ship. - | It is understood that inquiries are {being made with regard to the al- leged violations of the amateur rules of the E.C.H.A. in different parts of the district, and that matters will be straightened owt at once, It is said that the 230th were obliged to use a couple of the Brockville City players to fill out their ranks Friday night. A protest has been entered on ae- count of the fact that Bill Symonds and others played for the soldiers. In connection with the appearance of Stavanau on the Arnprior team, an officer of the club states emphatically that it was young "Hank" and not Ernie who played. Fight fans are manifesting an un- usual degree of . interest in the Roddy Me- Donald, the young Canadian and protege of Bob Fitzsimmons, who Just now is seeking a bout with Les Darcy. o His first victory this year was on New Year's Day, when he knocked out Tom McDonald, of Roxbury, Mass., in the third round. He has also scored knockouts against Wild Bill 'Flemipg, Johnny Howard, Joe Rivers and Mike (Twin) Sullivan. Eddie Plank, the veteran southpaw with the St. Louis Browns last season, may wear a New York Yankee uni- form in 1917. It is understood that the owners of the New York club are in a receptive mu as regards the acquisition of Plank, although they seem unwilling to trade any promis- ing young material. Plank notified Manager Fielder Jones that he would retire from the game rather than play another season in St. Louis. He play- ed two years there. Plank asked to be traded or sold to some eastern club. Plank"s work last season rank- ed him among the bet in the league.

HIS WIFE WON'T LET HIM. Reg) Reason Why "Packey™ McFar- land Quit Ring. Packey McFarland, boxer and ring general extraordinary, is not going back into the game True Packey announced through Doc Krone that he was hot on the trail of Les Darcy and Mike Gibbons and, would consent to perform for the paltry sum of $25,000. However, Packey spoke without the consent of his manager. "My real manager has vetoed the comeback thing," is the announce- ment from the McFarland chicken farm near Joliet. '"'She says we have enough at home to keep me busy without boxing again.' Which, say those who know Mrs. Packey, is sufficient proof that Me- Farland days in the ring are over. will close up shop for the season of 1917," said President McCaffery upon his return from New York. "We have conceded the players all we can afford to. The team will be ordered to report at the training camp and if within five days it is not found poss- ible to proceed we will order the paraphernalia shipped home. A band will meet it at the Union Depot and play the Dead March back to the storercom.' President McCaffery was highly complimented ty baseball men gener- ally (upon the signing of Napoléon Lajoie as manager. It is believed that he will be a great favorite not only in Toronto, but throughout the} circuit. In New York Mr. McCaffery met "Lena" Blackburn, who positive- ly refused to have anything to do with the managerial job. Blackburn says he will be more than pleased to play for Lajoie, and considers the French- man a great manager. Lajoie will be in Toronto on Satur- day or Sunday. Addison Leaves Sunday. "Dug" Addison, the well-known and popular net guardian of the To- ronto Riverside O.H.A. senior team, has received instructions to leave for England on Sunday to join the Royal Air Service, for which he qualified some time ago. He en- listed with the 234th Battalion last summer, but decided to take a crack at' the flying game and has been awaiting orders to proceed overseas. Addison made his reputation with the Simcoe juniors and the St. Michael and T.R. and A.A. seniors. His place in goal for Riversides will be taken by Ernie Collett, last year's regular. tn RECOGNITION GIVEN TO FRENCH, also the proposed twenty-round bai- United States Formally edges Protectorate in Morojco. Washington, Jan. 19.---France's protectorate over Morocco is recogn- ized by the United States in a note handes Ambassador Jusserand to- (lay by. Secretary of State Lansing. The note says the action is taken "notwithstanding the present conflict in Europe, in order to meet the wishes of the French Government and people, for whom the Govern- ment and people of the United States entertain a traditional and sincere friendship." Negotiations on this subject have been under way intermittently since France and Spain partitioned Moroc- so in 1912, but the United States has up to now withheld the recognition on the ground that she should not be the first nation to take such action in that part of the world, where her interests are very indirect. ® _The United States heretofore has uniformly declined to recognize ter- ritorial changes during the course of the war, but it is held that this change is entirely independent of the war and was initiated before hos- tilities broke out. E WELSH IS ILL. sp---- And Bout For His Title Has Been Cancelled. Freddie Welsh, champion light- weight, is a sick boy. After his bout with Ritchie Mitchell his doctor ad- vised him to quit boxing and take care of himself, as he is threatened with la grippe. As a result his mamager, Harzy Acknowl-! will take him to Excelsior Pollock, cancelled two matches an tle at New Orleans for the title, and Springs for a few weeks. Pollock has pro- mised Mitchell a match at New Or- lean later for the championship. The Stars Would Object. Affiliation of the Baseball Players' Fraternity with the American Fede- ration of Labor would end the pre- sent salary system in professional baseball by which the best players now receive thousands of dollar for their work, in the opinion of Presi- dent Ban B. Johnson, of the Ameri- can League, who discussed here yes- terday the plan to unionize ball play- ers. He asserted the change would mean that a union scale of wages would be paid both to the star and the average player, in accordance with the amount of money his posi- tion called for. He doubted if the stars of the game would make such an agreement. RE ARROW Fmd COLLARS po a CLUETT. $8 nm A REAL CLOTHING SALE IS NOW GOING ON; DON'T FAIL TO COME. IMPORTANT NOTICE !
