NEW HAVEN MEN WORRYING NEW TORK, April .-Thr I prac tically no opportunity for a Columbla YaJ boat race thla spring a th negotia tion which went begun by Tale during th winter, following th defeat of It orew last fall by Columbia, hav fallen through. Th altuation that haa arisen I a etrang one, a Yal was moat de sirous of rowing th rae and went o far a to challenge Columbia. A the preliminary racing season Is confined to the month of May, and as Tal waa due to row Penn at Philadelphia April a, th Columbia management advised that It would be glad to row the race either the day before or the day after Its race of one and one-half miles with Penn sylvania, Princeton and th Navy, at Philadelphia, May 13. Tal replied that thl was too near the date for It two-mile regatta with Prince ton and Cornell, at Ithaca, May . Co lumbia then wrote that it would be willing to row any Baturday in May and there th matter rests, for Tale has not communicaed with th Columbia man agement on thl point, and now seems loath to meet the Mornlngalde crew, coached by Jim Rice, which defeated It last fall. Th rowing outlook In th colleges for th coming spring is not a particularly bright on from many angles. Yale, the winner over Harvard last spring, while retaining Guy Nlckalls. Is not yet going at It old pace, and ther Is worry at New Haven In plt of the fact that Harvard, it chief rival, is beginning th season under a new coaching sys tem heaned by Robert Herrick, a grad uaie.

Among th Hudson river crews, which will hold their regatta at Poughkeepsle juna 17. the outlook for th year Is promising in on respect, namely, the iiKennoon or the overthrow of Cornell' upremscy. Not In year ha there been uch an opportunity for Cornell' com petitor to wreit the Intercollegiate row ing supremacy. All thia is du to the absence of Charle E. Courtnev. th.

WILLARD A LUCKY FIGHTER Heavyweight Champ Wears Crownl at Time when Opposition ii Weak and Purses Big- SULLIVAN ALSO HAD IT EASY Jesa Wlllard ia a very lucky fellow, i though ha did have a bard time winning; recognition. The giant Kansan Is fortu nate to reign at a time whan opposition Is but alight and purse bigger than avar before In the history of tha ring. Non of th other champion had auch an easy time of It aa ..illard haa at pres ent, except John I Sullivan. Easy mark were plentiful In fiulltvan' day. Moat of tha men h fought war uneducated dub, but ther were a few tough one on th list and purses war very small. However, Charley Mitchell, tha man who caused th most trouble for th Boston terror, wa little bigger than a welterweight. Oorbett found him self In hot water from th start. H wa continually hounded by Bob Fits Simmon, who allowed him no peace until "Gentleman Jim" wa forced into th ma ton that cost him th title. Hi match with; Mitchell, who waa then on hi last legs, waa tha only easy money Corbet f picked up during th time be held th honors. Both Fltzslmmon and Jeffrie reigned when good heavyweight wer plentiful. Fltz, although tha greatest fighting ma chine of all time, wa the most unfortu nate of the lot, for he lost tha cham pionship the first tlm be sought to da fend it. Jeffrie Battled Tonafc One. Jeffrie wa up agalnat th same array of talent and had few easy fight, al though when Jeffrie waa at ht beat most of hi rival had begun to go back. It Is doubtful whether Jeffrie would hav been able to defeat Fltxslmmon In their second fight If old age had not caused tha Cornlshman'i brittle hand to glv way under the strain, In Fltzslm- mons, Corbett, Sharkey and Ruhlln, Jeff ries faced a quartet of stars, all of whom mad him work hard. HI second bout with Corbett and th affair with Jack Mlonro wer tb only easy bout he had. Johnson had an easy tlma ef tt and participated In tha largeat purs vei offered, but Johnson never had a chance to earn $47,rx0 for a no-declslon bout. Practically all of Johnson' flfrht were over a distance and with a decision at stake. With the exception of the affair at Ilcno Johnaon wa forced to limit his demand to 135,000, and at that he did not alway receive the full amount that his contract called for. From the present outlook Wlllard will bo able to reap a fortune without ever risking the title In a battle to a decision. Whencx'er he cares to enter the rlnir he ran be sure of at least $30,000, and ther is not a man In sight who ha a reason able chance, to defeat him. When Wlllard disponed of Moran ha got rid of the only one of the contender In whom the public had much hope. Moran was outclassed, and none of the others seem to be more formidable. Kven now Moran heads the list, being followed by Dillon, Coffee, Welnert, Ful ton and Reich. Dillon Look Good. Of that lot Dillon look to be the best fighting machine, but the so-called "(Jlant Killer" is altogether too small to ba taken seriously, and Wlllard can paas him up with that excuse without losing I he least prestige. As a matter of fact, Dillon might not be such a mark as Is generally supposed, hut as long as ring follower are convinced that a little man has no chance, th matter will not b put to th test Welnert Is tha youngest of them all, and for that reason might b expected to develop Into a real fighter in time. Th Jerseyman also is the best boxer, and ha the necessary height and reach. But Welnert can't hit and there I not a chance that he ever will develop a wal lop, for careless living is ruining his constitution. Judging by his recent per formance against Packy Flynn, the Jer sey youth already ha struck th llde, and It Is not at all probable that h will climb higher than he is at present. Moran atlll maintains that ha should have another chance, and 1f h should b able to defeat Dillon when they com together this summer, ther is no doubt that some promoter will offer a purs for a return match with Wlllard. But Moron will never Improve over hi pres ent form and It Is quite evident that h 1s nothing mora than a fair second" raler. The Plttsburgher can't box a lick and his wonderful wallop la mostly Im agination. ( offer's "Olaae Jaw" Handicap. So far aa appearances go Coffey should be the most likely candidate. Th big Irishman haa youth In hi favor. I a good boxer, and In that respect ha msy eontlnu to Improve for om tlm yt. He I alao developing phyalcally and In another year should be a great deal atronger and a harder hitter. Put Cof fey' "ela Jaw" eliminates him. A tltne goes on tt I prohabl that hi abil ity to withstand punishment will grow less Instead of greater. At ny rat ring record show that no fighter vr haa recovered from that ailment. Al fleh h la ltoxether hnpeleaa, and If It wer not for hla remarkable phyalqua he would attract no attention whatever.
