MANAGER MACK USES
AK ON DEAD WOOD

PHILADELPHIA, February 21.-Connie
Mack. for the first time this year, came to
his Office in the Stephen Girard building
with a keen-edged ak, and as a result the
number of players who will be taken to
Texas has been decreased by two.
The first to be let out are: First Baseman
Sabre and Catcher Carisch. Sabre has
been returned to Savannah, where Mack
obtained him. His release was a foregone
conclusion. as he was purchased merely for
an investment, and was never considered
as a candidate for Captain Harry Davis
place.
The release of Catcher Carisch to Newark
occasioned some surprise. as 1t was thought
that he would receive thorough trial Ca
risch has seen big league service with Pitts
burg and Mack signed him because he was
informed that he had improved wonderfully
since his first trial in fast company
Mack, however, decided that he would
stand pat with Schreck and Powers, his vet
Grams. who have been very successful hand
ling the terrific speed of Waddell, Plank
and Bender. Young Berry will be retained
as third catcher.
The Athletics leader yesterday received
the signed contract of Pitcher Coombs who
showed such good form in the box last
year. Many critics believe that Coombs will
be one Of the winning American League
fingers next season. Bender is the only
regular who has failed to come in the fold.
but, as he is not dissatisfied, his contract
is expected daily.
President Shettsline Of the Phillies had a
visitor yesterday in the person Of Pitcher
Charles Pittinger of Carlisle. Pitt Is here
for the purpose of seeking revision of the
clubs financial policy as applied to him.
He was told to confer with Manager Muir
ray, who will be here today Mike Doolin,
the shortstop, also paid his respects to Mr..
Shettsline.

ROBSON OUTPOINTED
TOMMY MURPHY

PHILADELPHIA. February 21.-Spike
Robson, the little English lightweight fight
er. rudely shattered Tommy Murphy's
championship aspirations last night in six
round fight at the National Athletic Club.
The English boy was much the cleverer and
outpointed the New Yorker in every round.
The fight was fast throughout. In the
first three rounds the Harlemite fought hard
and the advantage gained by his opponent
was slight. In the fourth Robson began to
show his superiority and landed many sting
ing blows without receiving one in return.
Murphy began to show signs of fatigue in
the fifth and when his blows landed they
had little no effect, while the English
man apparently grew stronger, for he fol-
lowed his opponent around the ring, send
ing in rights and lefts, both swings and
jabs.
In the last round Robson started after
Tommy like an enraged tiger. He landed
blow after blow on Murphy's jaw, but none
Of them had in 1T force enough to put the
sturdy Murphy out His face was cut and
bruised. Blood was streaming from three
different places, but he could see and heed
and would not give up. though he was in
an almost helpless condition.
Although Robson was the virtual winner
the fight proved that Murphy is one of the
toughest lightweight fighters in the ring
today.
More than four thousand persons. many
of whom were New Workers, saw the fight

L.ASKER WON FOURTH
GAME FROM MARSHALL

PHILADELPHIA, February 21.-Playing
a hopeless ending in the eighth game of the
worlds chess championship series at the
Franklin Chess Club yesterday afternoon,
Frank ]. Marshall STAYED off defeat for
nineteen additional moves. DR.. Lasker then
wound up the game with an announced
mate in five moves. This victory gave the
champion lead of 4 to o. with four games
drawn. Marshall left for home yesterday
afternoon and will participate in the inter-
national match by cable against Great Brit
ain next Friday and Saturday
Reviewing the eighth game, DIR. Lasker
gave out the following statement:
Marshall deviated from his line of play
in the sixth game which was also a French
defense, on the ninth move, whereby he
forced the white king to move. This, how
ever. proved no handicap to white, who
soon recuperated and developed his pieces
well. The latter's points Of attack were
the double kings bishops pawn and
blacks legacy from the opening. Marshall,
on the other hand, aimed at the white king.
He might have complicated matters on his
seventeenth move by continuing as follows:
Obs; 20, ROB. P-K4; p, PIP. B-K5; q,
R-Q. RxR; %, RxR, Q-Q4; "a, B-R3 CHI,
K-Kt; Is, XIX. The black knight had slight
hopes Of being extricated except by Kt-BS,
and this circumstance would probably have
compensated for the attack. There were
other possibilities offered to both players,
such as IS, P-B4 instead of P-B3, but in
any event the position would have been
most complicated. As it was black did not
venture to engage in this clash. and as a
consequence the game kept its even char
acter. After further attempts to establish
a decisive attack, black was finally frus-
trated, whereupon the weakness of his
pawns, already referred to- and upon which
white had built his plan Of campaign, be-
came manifest"

MACKAY WITHDREW
FROM RACQUET TOURNEY

NEW YORK, February 21.-Clarence
Mackay, the champion of the New York
Racquet and Tennis Club, and recent win
ner of the gold racquet at Tuxedo, caused
general surprise and disappointment yes
terday by his withdrawal from the national
racquet tournament on account of sickness
He was picked as the most likely winner of
the first honors, and in his match with
Thorne of Chicago. which he won in
straight sets, played in splendid form.
Mackay defaulted to George E. Clarke, and
the latter will play Brooke OF Philadelphia
today in the semi-nnals. The winner of this
match will play the winner of the Fincke-
Whitney match in the finals for the ma
tional championship on Saturday.
The first match yesterday between Regi-
maid Fincke and Oliver Bird, both of New
York. was a walkover for Mr.. Fincke, who
is the dark horse OF the tournament The
games were three straight, 15-1, 16-12
Isl The veteran came near to tying the
second game at ball, and won great ap-
plause by his clever headwork against his
active opponent. Fincke is an exceptionally
good all-around athlete, and although he
has only been at racquets for a couple OF
years. yet he is an apt pupil of the standing
school of play. He Is cool at all times, a
low, hard hitter, and uses very good judg-
ment. His contest with Payne Whitney to-
day should prove a ''corker," and many
look to him to win against the ex-champion
The Whtney-Wrenn match yesterday
morning was very exciting affair, and
contrary TO expectations, Whitney playing
in great form, took three straight, the
scores being 1912, 15-11 and 17-15 From
the start Whitney went in and volleyed
Wrenns hard service, and when he turned
on the wide ones around the corner he
nearly always killed with accurate corner
strokes. In the volleys both men went fast
and they were smart and exciung. Wrenn
missed several chances in the first game
when he had a show. but the steadiness and
wonderful getting power of Whitney proved
too much for him. In the last set Wrenn
put up the gamest kind of fight, and both
sides were put out no less than five times
when the score was set three at II all. The
ex-tennis champion finally had 1t 10, when
Whitney put him out of the service box by
a beautiful volley of service OF the side
wall. Then he ran out at lib. The vol
leys in the final exciting moments brought
the large gallery TO It's feet time after time,
and there was great applause. There were
some heavy wagers made on this match.
Wrenn excelled in straight, hard hitting
while Whitney played around the corners.
1t was a gruelng contest, and many of the
old-timers present said that IL was one of
the best matches ever played In these
courts.
The final match. between Brooke and
Dlnsmore, proved another fairly exciting
AFFAIR, but Dinsmore went on after the
