Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, July 11.-Matty Baldwin.
the hustling Hub boxer. wants to get into
the thick of the muss that is being
kicked up by the local lightweights. He
will fight any one OF the cracks in the
lightweight division and will make a side
bet as large as wanted. To show that
he is going out of his class when meeting
lightweights Baldwin will agree to box
any of the 124-pound men at weight. the
scales to be interviewed at O'Clock on
the afternoon of the battle. With light
weights Baldwin wants the weight to be
made at the ringside.
Baldwin and his manager. F. Boehm.
visited the office of an afternoon paper
today and wanted to post big bunch of
money to show that they meant business,
but were talked out of it. They left with
the understanding that if any one wants
to fight Baldwin will at once come to the
front and post his side bet.
Especially does Baldwin want to get a
chance at Tommy Murphy and Leach
Cross. Special inducements will be Of

RACE POSTPONED.
Sparker on the Tryout Refuses to
Work.

The race between the speed boats
Kindo. owned b. Will Moore, and the
Tryto. owned by Joseph Moore Of Alex
andria. which was to take place off
Alexandria yesterday evening. had to be
postponed in consequence of the sparker
on the Tryto becoming disarranged and
refusing to work. A new sparker for
the boat will be obtained and the race
will take place at a later date, so that
the relative speed merits of the two
fast boats can be determined.
The Kindo last summer. it is claimed,
made twenty miles an hour on
several occasions. The Tryto was built
during the past winter by Joseph Moore
to beat her. but up to this time her
owner has not been able to get her into
racing condition. On the runs she has
made she has shown remarkable speed
and bets have been made that when the
two boats get together the Tryto will
be found the faster. Bruce Emerson.
owner Of the speed boat Mae which last
summer was defeated by the kindo. is
building another boat at Alexandra with
the idea Of making her the fastest boat
on the Potomac and one of the most
rapid afloat Yachtsmen and powerboat
owners are awaiting with interest the
races between these fast boats.

.ENGLAND'S CRACK CREWS.
Fights That Will Row in the
Olympic Regatta.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
LONDON, July 11.-England will be rep.
resented by two Fights in the Olympic
regatta, and after good. long spell Of
steady preparation the makeup Of the
two boats has been made known. One
will wear the colors of the Leander Row
ing Club and will take in a well seasoned
lot Of eX-champions and watermen of the
first grade. The other crew is from Cam
bridge University and is the same that
rowed against Oxford in the varsity race
last April. The Leander combination will
have F. S. Kelly at bow. probably the
best amateur oarsman alive, a former
winner of the Diamond SOULS at Henley
and as good a judge of pace as ever
handled an oar, and the others will be

A report says that these make strong
combination and have given only faint
idea of what they can do over a mile
and a half course. Their general style
of rowing is said to be superior to any,
thing yet seen at Henley, but against
this finished method they are said to be
lacking in the snap of younger men.
A little more than a week ago the
Leanders went over the Olympic course
of mile and a half in minutes and 10
SECONDS. rowing thirty strokes 10 the Mill
ute. They have since made better time,
but it has not been given out. The Cam
bridge men have been on the water only
a few days and they will sit: F. H. Ser

The fact that two such crews will fig
ure in the race Is of much significance to
others. Suppose Leander and Cambridge
6~ox hor aicl1 to yin,
will have to beat both. perhaps one in
the semi-final and the other in the final.
For instance, should the Belgians meet
Cambridge one day in the semi-hnal. no
doubt a good deal of their steam would
have evaporated before they meet Leander
the next day. 1t will take a great crew
to beat Leander and Cambridge. but they
may draw each other and the Belgan
have to tackle but one. Four of the
Leander eight will try for the fours and
they will be follows: +. S. Kelly. bow:

NEW YORK. July 11.-Catcher Johnny
Killing of the Chicago Cubs believes that
outfielders as a general rule are becoming
deficient in throwing to the plate.
1T seems 10 me that outfielders are
overlooking one very essential point in
their practice when they do not take three
or four heaves from their positions to
the plate said King. II have seen quite
a few runs scored because throws from
the outheld were not accurate. 1t Is not
particularly difficult for some outfielders
TO throw as true die, while others ap-
pear TO put their full force behind throw
which is aimed at random. and trust to
luck for the ball TO go TO the waiting
catcher. Some fielders with great throw
ing arms seldom shut OFF run because
the catcher is pulled too far from his po-
sition TO take the throw. while others
who may not be able to get the same dis
lance as some of the stronger throwers
put the ball right al the catcher every
time.
This feature of the game may look in
-Ignitcaat 10 many fielders, but l am of
The opinion that too great stress cannot
be laid upon II by the managers.
1t Is my contention that many a run
can be shut OFF II the outieders learn to
throw more accurately to the plate"

Beally, who struck out eighteen of the
opposing players and held them at his

edged, his nine chances without an error
being pretty near the local amateur rec

fifth inning, when Simons made two rank
errors. but Poss famed and no damage

WISCONSIN NOT OUT.
Will Compete on the Hudson in
Year 1909.
Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, July 11.-An echo OF the
intercollegiate regatta at Poughkeepsie
comes in the form of an announcement
that there is no truth in the statement
that the University of Wisconsin will not
be represented in the 1909 contest on the
Hudson river.
This is said on the authority Of
prominent alumnus, who has been llb-
eral contributor to the funds to send the
Badgers to Poughkeepsie each year. His
statement was to the effect that Wis
consin would not only come back in 1909.
but in succeeding years as well.
There is no reason why Wisconsin
should not row on the Hudson next year
and for many years to come as far as
can see" he said 'Of course, all the
Wisconsin supporters would like to see
our crew win the big race, and the gen
eral idea is that We must come back
each year until We do. Once having won
the four-mile race we will naturally have
to come back to defend our laurels, and 1t
is just as sure as anything can be that
we will be rowing in the east for many
seasons to come"

STAHL SORE AT FARRELL.
Laughs Sarcastically After Smuggling
the Ball.
lal Dispatch to The Star.

Spec1at D1epatcn 10 Inc star.
NEW YORK, July 11.-Elberfeld is
cleaning up his team. He began yester-
day by selling Jake Stahl to the Boston
club. The fact that the new manager has
Delehanty brought about Stahl's shift.
The former Washingtonian has not been a
success with the Highlanders. He was
tried in the outfield and at first base. and
in neither position did he fulfill the prom
Uses that were made for him. In the out
field he was a frost and at first. base he
was little better. When Stahl was OBJ
tanned in the spring by Griffith, a Ma
tional League manager declared that New
York had been "stung.
I don't wish to be quoted said this
man. referring to Stahl. lie will be a
dead one from start to finish. He is a
much over-rated ball player and New
Workers will And this out in the near flu
ture."
This manager was surely a prophet and
q prophet who called the turn. Stahl has
been big disappointment since he joined
the Highlanders. In the outfleld his work
was poor and at first base. his natural
position. 1t was little better. Stahl may
be an Al player, but he failed to show up
as such in this city.
1t may be that he was dissatisfied here.
There are many who are of this opinion,
ard judging by the manner in which Stahl
hit the pail in yesterdays contest. there
may be something to this. The former
Washingtonian was informed before the
game that ne could pack his trunk and
jump to Boston after the contest. The re-
suit was that out Of four times at bat he
raped out a home run. E double and a
single. and on each occasion he deliberate
~ turned toward Frank Farrell and gave
the New York president the horse laugh
This is not TO say that the big player did
not do his utmost to help out the High
landers. but he played as he never played
since he has worn New York uniform
and tried his utmost to help his team to
victory.
Other changes are pending but have not
been announced by Kid Elberfeld. whose
time is occupied in figuring out the better
ment of the Yankees.

BREEDERS LOSSES.
Depreciation in Value Of Thorough
breds Made Plain.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. July 11.-An idea of the
amount lost to American breeders
through depreciation in the value of
thoroughbreds was furnished at Sleeps
head Bay recently when blue blooded
yearltngs sold al auction for not more
than one-quarter of the amount they
would have brought under old condi-
tons.
1t was the first yearling sale Of the
season. hundreds Of youngsters carded
earlier having been withdrawn, some
for shipment abroad and the remainder
to await more prosperous times. The
star Of the sale. full brother to Rose
ben, would have brought not less than
$4,000 with the PercyGray law in eff
feet, horsemen declared, but $2,1OO was
the best figure reached in the bidding.
and that only after a great deal Of
persuasion.
Everything considered. however, the
sale went briskly enough, and the aver
age price. about s475. was high enough
to afford fair margin Of profit to the
breeders The most encouraging sign
of the times was that bidders were
numerous. showing that there is 20
general disinclination to buy although
few care to lay out big money at this
time. Later on. II the courts render de-
cisions favorable to the turf-governing
bodies. there will be a big advance in
the value Of yearlings
AS long as there is racing and specu-
lation on the results well bred horses
will continue to be in strong demand.
That overnight purses and stakes may
be greatly reduced is not material, ex-
cept to small proportion of owners.
Not one in ten ever succeeds in making
a stable pay for itself through the
money won in purses and stakes It Is

of confidence as to their ability to do
more than hold their own. against the rep

that the stadium. where the games are to

overcrowded, the greater part of the
Americans went to Brighton early in the

given absolute control of the men, so far
as their movements and training are con-
