WESTERN TRIP PLANNED.
c. M. Daniels and Others to Compete
in Several Swimming Events.

New York, April 10-E. II. Adams of
the swimming committee of the New
York A. c. has received a request from
William NJ Orthwein of the MssiOri \.
c. of St. Louis for dual meet to take
place on April %, and as the date is
quite satisfactory to the Mercury
Footers the schedule of the trip is now
complete.
The original idea was to have the
New York team make an excessive
tour and meet seven or eight other
clubs, but it was found that the men
were unwilling to leave their business
for any length of time, and the sched-
ule was cut down to suit them. They
will now make a flying trip Of it. leav-
ing on the morning of the 23d of this
month. and being home in time to he
at their work by the morning Of the
18th.
On the evening Of the sd conclusions
will be tried with the East Liberty
Aquatic Club of Pittsburg: on the 2ith
the strong Chicago "A. a. team will be
tackled in the Windy City. and on the
18th the boys of Missouri A. G. will
be met at St Louis.
The New York A. G. men who are
expected to take the trip are the fol-
lowing: c. NJ. Daniels. f. H. Adams
Walter Lee, l.. deb. Handley. James
Steen. L. +. Madley. Jack Lawrence, J.
". Spencer. J. y. Ruddy, G. y.
Trubenbach. Lester Crane, y. c. Mar
ley, and V. dep. Goodwin.
At a glance over the list will tell
the swimmers are in force. but the wa
ter polo team is weakened by the loss
of Bud Goodwin. Ogden Reid. and
Dave Hesser. who are unable to ac-
company the squad. This leaves only
Hanley on the forward line and there
is a general feeling in aquatic circles
that to defeat the formidable Western
sextex, with couple Of substitutes on
the line of attack. is beyond human
possibilities.

Iody.SuIIivan Bout.

Milwaukee. April 10.-Matty Baldn in
Of Boston Tuesday night had success
full results in his efforts to put out two
men in five rounds each.
He was scheduled to meet JOHNNY
Clabbie of Milwaukee in the first bout
and Johnny started in on holding tao
tics at the outset in the hope Of STALL
ing the match to finish. After being
cautioned repeatedly Clabbie was dis
qualified in the fourth round.
Baldwin then started in with Billy
Roche, a Boston boy. who has been
starring in fights in the upper peninsu-
la Of Michigan since coming West
Roche was clearly outclassed, but was
willing to fight. He was being so pitt
fully pummeled. however. in the fourth
round that his seconds threw up the
sponge.
IN both fights Baldwin was SO far The
superior of the two boys pitted against
him that the contests were farces.
Baldwin was brought West to fight
Jack O'Leary, but OLeary tore lig-
ament while training and is out Of the

P|ungers Are Asked Not
To Make Heavy Wagers.
American Yachts will Compete
For Cup In Spanish Waters.
Champion Daniels Will Swim In
Western Contests.

Washington, April 1U.-Announce-
nent is made at the Benning track that
the stewards of the New York Jockey
Club had made a formal request of all
big piungers not to bet heavily this
season. To emphasize this, orders had
been given out that the number OF
clubhouse betting commissioners Will
be reduced to six. 1t seems needless to
state that this request will not be
lived up to more than previous ones,
said to have come from the same
source.
Few will believe that Dave Johnson,
Frank Farrell or Charley Ellison will
not plunge when they have a good
thing. There are many turfmen who on
" want fair dealing on the turf who
believe it would be much better ii a
quiet order was given to the man who
can stop the doping of horses and also
have him insist on at least two proml-
nent trainers not sending SO many
horses to the post to be beaten as IN
former years, when they should know
by experience their horses had no
chance to win. 1t may come to this lat
er on.
