BowERMAN ISN'T PoUTING.
New York Catcher Working Hard
Despite His Salary Cut

New. York. May 9.-Frank Bowerman,
the Giants big catcher, is a good speci-
men of the ball player who does not allow
a substantial cut in his salary to interfere
with the earnestness with which he works
for the success of his team.
In the fall of 1902, when Christy Mathew
son and Bowerman jumped to the St.
Louis American league team. Manager
John McGraw, who had just taken charge
of the Giants, had to sign those two play
ers at big salaries to get them to remain
with the new York club. Bowerman's con-
tract, made at that time, expired last fall
and when the catcher received his contract
for this season he was confronted with a
81. 700 cut in salary. For a few days he
refused to sign, but then changed his
mind and Joined the Giants in Los An
geles.
This spring Dan McGann's disability
gave Bowerman chance to jump into the
game. In the seven games he has played
Bowerman has been to bat % times and
made u hits, giving him the lead in the
National league over the players who have
taken part in five or more games. He has
scored six runs and stolen three bases. At
first base Bowerman has accepted seventy
one chances out of seventy-two.

KAUFMAN TO SPRINGFIELD.
The Jayhawkers' Star Pitcher Joins
the Professional Ranks

Lawrence, Kan, May 9.-Jayhawker
baseball stock took a sudden tumble
here when Dick Kaufman, the star
twirler, withdrew from school and stat
ed his intention of joining the ranks of
professional baseball. He leaves for
Springfield today, where he has a con-
tract calling for 800 a month during
the coming season. Kaufman has been
the mainstay of the Jayhawkers in the
box this spring, winning five and losing
but one game and that two hit contest
with Baker
In the six games in which he has
twirled he has allowed but three scores
His loss will strike a serious blow to the
chances of the Kansas team this spring.
as they had counted on him to twirl the
game with Arkansas Saturday and the
return contest with Baker. Harlan and
Jennings will now do all the pitching
for Captain Brookens' Squad. The
record of the team thus far has been
fourteen games won and four lost.

Between two of the early rounds
Referee Eyton went to O'Brien's cor
ner and informed him that he must
stop clinging to Burns in the clinches,
and break at the word of command.
Burns had all of the better -fnfghting
and laced his opponent terrifcally
about the face with short arm leftS-
O'Brfen's holding of Burns glove pre-
vented him using it in the clinches-
In the second round the men
wrestied in the center of the ring and
both fell fiat to the floor. In the OPEN
ing round O'Brien showed apparent
fright at his opponents rushes and ran
from him at full speed.
In the ninth round Burns, weary of
QBrien's constant retreating, rushed
after him and cornered him twice in
different angles of the arena and in
flicted severe punishment on him. The
latter made no effort to fight, merely
ducking and trying to get away.
Each round was largely repetition
of the preceding one. Burns had the
better of most of them whenever he
was able to corner his man and get at
him. The twelfth round was strongly
in Burns favor. During the round
Burns laid O'Brien's left eye open
with a terrific overland right the
blood streaming down O'Brien's face.
The latter called to his seconds some
thing about his injury and shook his
head in pain. Again in the fifteenth
round Burns caught his man going
away and laid open the same eye
again, which had been patched up
with court plaster. O'Brien occasion
ally attempted unfair tactics by hold
ing Burns head under his arm and
trying to use his elbow. The referee
cautioned him. and he quit it.
The twentieth and final round was
as tame as the others Probably 5000
persons were in the pavilion. 1t has

The sporting writer's all over thu big
leagues are agreed that next to Rob
Unglaub Of the Boston team, Mig Par

of the season. The little fellow is still
playing great game and will before

of the premier players of the county.

KNOCK ON UNGLAUB.
Billy Murray Thinks He Is Too Young
to Manage Boston.

Philadelphia, May Billy Murray
of the Philadelphia National league
does not approve of Unglaub'S ap-
pointment as manager of the Boston
Americans. Murray is an out-and-out
National Lacquer in his sympathies,
and his views are undoubtedly biased,
although he obably feels that he is
entirely impartial. Also Murray is
bench manager and naturally would
not like to see the playing manager
succeed. Murray says:
Il was very much surprised to see
that the Boston American club had
appointed Unglaub as manager.
don't want to take any glory away
from its young player, but I think it
poor policy for the management to
select him leader considering the
fact that only last year he jumped
into the outlaw league. I don't think
the old men will work their hardest
for him, and if you have not got the
players with you a fellow might as
well give up the fight"

landed by either man and neither suf-
fered any apparent damage. Both
of O'Brien's eyes were damaged and
his lips were cut open. but Burns had
scarcely a scratch. Burns showed his
disgust with the tactics of his oppo-
nent and called him repeatedly in a
loud voice to Come on and f1ght."
Burns would chase his man around
the ring, O'Brien running as if in ter
ror of his antagonist. Now and then
Burns would overtake him and beat
him on the back. O'Brien attempting
wildly to duck and dodge away, until
Burns weary of the footrace, would
stand in the center of the ring with his
hands to his sides and wait for O'Brien
to come to a halt in his race around
the ropes.
= O'Brien landed many light blows at
long range on Burns head and face
during his capers about the enclosure,
but they were absolutely without eff
feet CIinches were frequent. The
referee had the greatest difficulty in
pryine them apart or rather prying
O'Brien loose from Burns. The ref
cree cautioned~a0'B rien repeatedly
about his holding on tactics and finally
told him he must stop it.

When Olson Dropped on .'Tex" Jones

Just why Webb City did not get the
game is easily explained. Big John
Halla was dishing up the slants for
the visitors to peck into the atmos-
phere at, and that was just what the
visitors did when hits would have
transformed lack Of runs into a bonn
bardment. Halla never works any
harder than he has to, and for this
reason the visitors secured a few hits.
Two of these, one a single and the 9TH
er good for a trip half way round,
were garnered by Mr.. Dalrymple. The
lad is hitting the ball hard this season
and seems to be a conner. All that
saved Webb City from a generous ap-
pliance of the whitewash came in the
eighth inning. Mr.. Harry Cheek
whose cheeks are as smooth as a boy
in the bright spring morn of youth
was fortunate in hitting Halla for a
two-bagger and was followed by a
scratchy single by Price, which proved
sufficient to send the noisy little
catcher home. Cheek is really a nice
little catcher but he chatters a great
deal.

to find the famous twirler. He found
him back of the Athletes ball park.

Burns of Los Angeles won the heavy

fore the Pacific Athletic club here last
night after twenty rounds of fighting
that was for the most part a foot race.
O'Brien ran away from Burns from
the first round to the finish and only
occasionally was the latter able to
overtake him. Then O'Brien invari-
ably clinched with Burns and held on
until the referee Dried them apart.
The crowd hooted and jeered O'Brien

as he raced about the ring. But

One thing that has been noticed in
the playing of the White Sox is the
perfection of the hit and run game
which has been developed by Captain
Runkel. There is more sacrifice hitting
done this season than ever before and
it has it's results as has been shown
in the four championship games play
ed so far this season.
