FIGHTER TENNY
WANTED TO QUIT

SAN FRANCISCO, March MANY who
were near the corner of Harry Tenny dur
Ing his fight with Frank Neil heard him
say that he was saIl in. and wanted to
quit in the tenth round but his seconds
were heard TO urge him on. telling him he
would still win and that his opponent was
firing.
1t was learned that Tenny's seconds had
a pool together. in which they placed some
thing like 500 as bet ON their man. They
saw their money fast fading away and they
spurred the tired and jaded lad to continue
the fray. hoping against hope that some
lucky Incident might intervene and save
them their money
The direct cause of death was hemer-
rhage of the brain. as announced by DIR.
Kucich. the autopsy physician at the morgue
The bone above Tenney's right eye was
broken by the force of Neirs blows and the
eye itself sunk into the head. Had the lit.
tie pugiiist survived the force of the blow
he would never have regained the sight OF
the injured eye.
Death was In nowise caused by any poi
son or narcotic nor from q weak heart. His
physical condition was perfect.

Ciarkson-he was good In the Eastern

York, and it is question whether he can

stripped. being lighter than ever before at
this time of the year. He has spent the
winter in Massachusetts,, taking plenty of
outdoor exercise and giving his valuable
arm complete rest. In 1904 Chesbro es-
tablished pitching record that will prob
ably stand for some time to come. He
pitched fortytwo games and lost twelve,
the Americans losing the championship by
one game to the Boston team. Most of his
effectiveness was said to be due to the
spit ball." but aside from this eccentric
delivery he showed quality that made him
outrank even the famous MathewSon IN
point of effectiveness.
Last spring Chesbro, after coaching the
Harvard pitchers reported to Griffith just
as the southern trip of the Americans was
at an end He said that his arm was fit
and he was put into the box Immediately.
During the opening game in this city Ches-
bro pitched four innings in a driving rain
storm and caught a cold in his wing which
practically put him out of business for the
rest of the season. AT one time ne was
confined to his home for six weeks with Ill
ness which left him weak that when he
came back for work he was of no material
assistance to the team.

COVERING UPv
PRAcTIcED BY ALL

CHICAGO. March 2.--What Is known as
the covering up of base ball players a
practice instituted by many club managers
of the major leagues Of drafting lot of
minor league talent for the purpose, 1t is
alleged. of keentug the players from sign
ing elsewhere and selling them to the best
advantage has been brought to the atten-
ton of August Hermann. as chairman of
the national commission. The letter which
Mr.. Hermann received upon the subject
must have referred particularly to Ameri-
can League clubs, for he is said to have
appraised President Ban johnson of the sit
uation, and the latter replied that he was
only too willing for an investigation, and
il any American League club manager was
found guilty he should be punished. Presi-
dent Comiskey of the Chicago club is one
of the men implicated, and In reply to the
accusation says:
80 far as covering up players is con-
cerned they are all in the same boat They
all do it. and lovely time would be had II
they started to go down the line to weed
out the guilty. There would be about six
teen club owners convicted right on the
reel. I don't know whether was meant or
not, but IL / was the evidence can't be
gathered together too quickly to suit me-

travel to and from the grounds In the cars.
The afternoons work. although only bat
ting and fielding practice, consumed nearly
three hours. during which time every mem
Der of the squad had an opportunity to show
his ability. The two men attracting the
greatest attention were Walden ana
Brouthers.
The big twirler was sent in the box
against the regular players TO enable them

and control. although he did not attempt
to use curves.

in Lave Cross old position was high-elass,
and was favorably commented on by Man

MANAGER GRIFFlTH'S FAITH
IN PITCHER CHESBRO

NEW YORK. March CLARK Griffith
OF the Highlanders told me the other day
that he was putting his main dependence
for the coming season on Jack Chesbro. so
far as his pitching stan is concerned" said
a friend of the American League manager
today "and | told him l thought he was
making mistake. / do not think 1t is a
good thing TO put too much confidence III
any one man. no matter how good he may
be. and especially after he has had par
ticularly bad year. such as Chesbro had
last season. Griffith has other pitchers
hut many of them are enigmas and none
or them set the world on fire last year. 1t
would be better, l think, for him TO find
out right away just what ne can depend on
and not lay back, thinking that Chesbro'
can win the pennant alone.

Mccormick's Grenade Poisoned.

NEW ORLEANS. March 2.-Grenade. ].
H. McCormIck's horse, which won at the
City Park yesterday. was the victim OF
poisoning after the race, and 1t was not
until after two veterinaries had worked
over him for some time that he was pro-
nounced out Of danger. Grenade Is New
York horse. and Is one Of the best racers
at City Park. and 1t Is presumed that the
effort to do away with him may have come
from the fact that Mccormick was largely
responsible for the ruling off of some men
whose actions were Objectionable to the
Judges at City Park.
The poisoning was not discovered until the
horse had been returned to the stable after
the races. when 1t was found that his mouth
was inf1amed badly and his tongue swollen
and protruding from his mouth 1t was
positively pronounced case of poisoning
by the doctors Mccormick will lay the
matter before Judge Trevelyan. and there
will be rigid examination into the outrage.
