(By Associated Press)
NEW YORK, March 23—If the pro
motors of the Johnson-Willard heavy,
weight championship bout adhere to
their announcement to hold the con
test on Easter Day, April 4, it will
be the first time that a ring match of
this calibre has been held on Sunday.
Championship bouts in many classes
have been held on holidays in all parts
of America and Europe, but pugilists
and promoters have heretofore con
fined their ring activities to days oth
er than the sabbath.
Johnson won final recognition as
the world’s champion by defeating Jef.
fries at Reno, Nev., on the Fourth of
July, 1910; Bob Fitzsimmons won the
heavyweight title from Jim Corbett at
Carson City, Nev., on St. Patrick’s
Day, 1897; Jack Johnson gained his
first claim to the championship hon
ors by defeating Tommy Burns at
Sidney, N. S. W„ on December 26, 1908
which is known as “Boxing Day”
throughout the British empire. Be
cause of the difference in time the re
sult of the battle was known through
out the United States on the preced.
Ing day—Christmas. In other weight
classes holiday bouts in which the
championship changed are numerous.
Young Corbett's victory over Terry
McGovern was won on Thanksgiving
Day; Battling Nelson lost his light
weight title to Ad. Wolgast on Wash
ington’s Birthday, 1910, and the list
might be continued almost indefinite
ly.
Sporting events of various kinds are
held on Sunday in Central and South
America and Continental Europe, but
aside from baseball, bicycle racing,
track and field athletics and associa
tion football, Sabbath sports have
never been popular in the United
States. In Mexico, Cuba and South
America, bull fights, cocking mains
and minor sports are or were held on
the first day of the week. In Europe
several classic turf events including
the French Grand Prix are always
scheduled for Sunday. Ring records
show that few bouts of importance
have been held abroad on Sunday,
and American tabulations show an
equal scarcity In this respect. Where
they have been held on Sunday the
contests were those of the early per.
iods of pugilism and the selection of
the day was due to police activity
which upset the plans of the promo
ters. Such a case was the Jack Demp
sey-George LaBlanche battle held on
a barge in Long Island Sound, early
Sunday morning, March 14, 1886.
The opening and closing dates for
the leading major and minor leagues
for the season of 1915 show that the
Pacific Coast league will, as usual,
play the longest season. The Pacific
Coast schedule, which opens on March
30 and continues until Oct. 24. calls
for close to seven months of continu.
ous play. In the east and middle
west the American, National and Fed
eral leagues will carry their pennant
races through a season of approximate
ly six months. The dates for the
initial and final games of the sea
son are as follows
League Open Close
National April 14 October 7
American April 14 October 7
Federal April 10
American As. April 22 September 22

PANAMA March 10—The Toyo KIs
Kaisi'a one of the leading Japnnese
steamship lines has arranged to make
Balboa a port of call on its sailings
from Japan to the ports along the
South American const. It is not
contemplated that the steamers will
visit ports on the east coast and thus
pass through the Panama canal. This
will probably be done after the west
coast trade has become firmly estab
llshed. The ships will sail from Yo
kohama. and touch at Hong Kong,
Honolulu and California ports, thence
down the Mexican coast to the Cen
tral American ports, stopping at Bal
boa, from where they will depart for
South America.

PROMISING CAREER
OF NEIL ROSEBERlf
LONDON, March 10—Neill Prim
rose, younger son of Lord Rosebery
who has been made an Under Secre.
lary of the Foreign Office, is charged
with the double duty of meeting the
American newspaper correspondents
and answering many of the questions
raised by members of the Commons.
He is only 3.3 years old and looks much
younger. He has been a member of
the commons since 1910, and was ed
ucated at Eaton and Oxford. He has
visited the United States and met
many of the public men of that coun
try. His father’s reputed boast that
he would be Prime Minister, marry
the richest girl in England and win the
Derby, a triumvirate of achievements
which he realized, whether he ever
made the boast or not, has not been
very conspicious of late though he
has made a number of recruiting
speeches. He is said to be a victim
3f insomnia. The mother of Neil
Primrose was Hannah, the oldest
laughter and heiress of Baron Meyer
ie Rothschild, and Neil resembles her
?reatly in features. He has an early
start in public life and his career is
watched with interest by his father’s
many friends.

ARRIVES AT SYNDNEY
SYDNEY, Feb. 10—Mgr. Ronaven
tura Cerretti. who for nine years oc
cupied an important office in connec.
tion with the Apostolic delegation to
Washington, has arrived in Sydney to
issuume the post of Apostolic Delegate
of the Roman Catholic Church to
Australia. His selection was made by
the late Pope Pius X., who established
the delegation in order to place Aus
tralia on a level with other countries
in this respect.
Inasmuch as Australia is so far re
moved from the Vatican Mgr. Cerretti
will be charged with the settlement of
all ordinary diocesan and parochial af
fairs, although all grave and difficult
problems will be referred to Rome.

The Seattle Post Intelligencer or
March 17 publishes the following tele
grams from Washington:
WASHINGTON. March 16—When
President Wilson, In response to ques
tions, told the newspaper corresepond.
ents this morning that he had deter
mined the routes for the Alaska rail
road, but that he was not prepared to
make them public now, the significant
thing was his use of the plural.
This would seem to bear out the
theory that both the Copper River &
Northwestern and the Alaska North
ern are desired by the government.
The president, In response to an
other question. Indicated that final de_
cision as to buying the Copper River
had not been made. The legal ques
tion of the right to condemn existing
railroads, it is known, is being con
sidered.
Before leaving for San Francisco to
night, Secretary l,ane told the Post
Intelligencer representative that, he
had absolutely nothing to say in re.
gard to the Ajaskn railroad situation.
Announcements Awaits Negotiations
WASHINGTON. March 16—Prea!
dent Wilson has decided on the route
for the Alaska railway, the building of
which is to begun this spring, but an
announcement will await the outcome
of negotiations with one of the two
existing lines which the government
may buy.
Secretary Lane said the announce
ment might be delayed until after his
return from San Francisco.
The line referred to in the fore
•going as running to the east of Prince
William sound is the Copper Iliver &
Northwestern railway, which has its
coast terminus at Cordova, and which
extends 196 miles into the interior to
Kennecott, where is located the Bon
anza copper mine, one of the principal
properties of the Alaska Syndicate.
The railroad is also owned by the
Alaska Syndicate, popularly called the
Morgan-Guggenheim Interests. A
branch from this would tap the Ber.
ing river coal fields.
The railway running to the west of
Prince William sound is the Alaska
Northern, with a coast terminus at
Seward, on Resuurection bay, and ex
tending through the Keuai peninsula
to Mile 72, on Turnagain arm. This
railroad was projected by Seattle men
to go through the Susftna valley to
Fairbanks, with a branch to the Mat
anuska coal fields. The ownership of
the road is now said .a be with Cana
dians banks holding the bonds.

,
(By Associated Press Correspondence)
BERLIN, March 10—The German
military governor of Lodz has posted
the maximum prices that are allowed
to be charged there for the necessi
ties of life. The fo’lowing specimens
indicate that prices are not unduly
high, so far as mere prices go: Veal
13 cents a pound, mutton 11.7, wheat
flour 8.17, rye flour 5.6, and sauer
kraut 2.5. The meat prices are not
half so high as at Berlin; but no men
