GOALS CAME A PLENTY.

Springfield, Feb 27.-Undaunted | by a series of setbacks that would have sapped the courage of almost | any other team, Starkie's band of Rovers returned to the home sur face last night and slipped neat walloping to Waterbury. In only one period did the Clockmakers fig ure at all in the pill hunt, that was in the middle section. Springfield raced away to a to 1 lead in the opening clash, only to slump some- what in the second, enabling the Nutmeggers to tie up the thing at to 8. But Starkie's servants were not to be denied. and by showing their early form in the last period rambled in rather easy winner, 14 to 10.
 No one worked harder to break the home hoodoo than Captain Hart, who was always encouraging his men to play their hardest and set ting a fine example by his own bril- liancy. Of the Rovers' goals, ten were the result of sharp smashes by the boss of the bunch and the other quartette were nearly all helped along by his passing. Center Miller made his debut in the local inclos- ure and showed enough good things to sustain Manager Starkie's sound judgment in gobbling him up for the job. Lincoln outrushed Jason and was stronger than usual. while Sutherland was given a better de- fense than he has been getting.
 The local cage protector had 35 stops. against Cusick's A. Cusick was bombarded fiercely in the last half, the secondary defense alone saving him from being punctured for half dozen more points. Wa terbury poked in one goal that worked out in the nick of time and Springfield watched one of Lincoln's larrups carom out of the cage. Lox- son and Higgins bore the brunt of Waterbury's work. Higgins has the reputation of being one of the fast est men in the league on rollers. but his speed was smothered most of the time last night by Springfield's de- fense. The lineup and summary:

 Beaten.

Bridgeport is coming here this evening and coming with every hope of taking a fall out of our quin- tette. The locals say the hope is forlorn one, and Bob Eadie will have to swallow another defeat. Bob Griffith intimates that he will tie Eddie Higgins up in knots and pre- vent the little wizard from making his sensational spurts. Eddie acknowl- edges Grifith's bump of self esteem, but he has few new tricks up his sleeve that Bobby has not yet be- come familiar with. Phil Jason will be there with the wallop, while Grif- fifth and the rest of the Bridgeporters are trying to watch Higgins. Ill the meantime Jack Fahey and Tommy Holderness will be stumbling blocks for Cunningham and Lewis. Jack Carrigan, the new halfback for Bridgeport, will be criticized very minutely, and they do say that our own Tommy has him beaten block. All in all. it will be q battle of the giants, and the lovers of polo vii get a that is coming to them.

SCHEDULES ARE ADOPTED.
No Conflicting Baseball Dates In New
 York This Year.

New York, Feb. 2. = Barring the adoption of the schedules little was done by the major leagues at their meeting. Both organizations approved the dates arranged by their schedule committees, the American league mak- ing public it's schedule and the National league holding the information back until this evening in pursuance of a plan that was decided by the flip of a coin between Presidents Ban Johnson and Harry Pulliam. Early information regarding the American leagues open ings, which was telegraphed from Gin cinnati at the time of the meeting of the joint schedule committees, went wrong the only opening that was cor rectly reported from the Queen City being the set-to between the Highland CTS and the Athletics here on April IA. The Bostons will not open in Washing ton, the Senators starting the ball roll ing in Boston instead. St Louis will open in Cleveland and Detroit in Chi cago. the early news having it that the broWnS W0ulQ start m Cnlcag0 and the Tigers flu Cleveland.
 Conflicting dates have been greatly reduced, there 'being only fifteen for 1908, as against twenty-one last year. The Giants and Highlanders will not clash at home, while Boston has only one conflict. There are three in Phila- delphia, four in St. Louis and seven in Chicago. The Highlanders have twelve Saturdays at home and will play here on Decoration day and on Labor day. The Senators get the holiday date in May, and the Philsdelphias will be here on Labor day. On the Fourth of July the Griffithltes will be in Wash ington. The New Workers have a seven day stay at home mapped out for them, April IA to 21 inclusive, and then will play four games in Philadelphia, re- turning to the hilltop to meet Jim Me Guire's rejuvenated Bostons. They will entertain the western clubs from May F to 2S and will start their first west ern trip on June in Cleveland. The season will close in the west on Oct 6 and in the east on Oct. s, the High flanders finishing in Washington.

SERENADE WINS BABY RACE.
eookmsksrs Lose s2o,ooo on Opening
 Event at New Orleans.

New Orleans, Feb. 27.-For the first time in many days the talent managed to get a chunk of the 'bookmakers wad of yellowbscks at the City park track with the running of the opening race when Tom McDowell's two-year- old Serenade won hard held by three lengths from fair lot of maidens.
 The Ally opened in some of the books as high ss to 1, but at post time s to , was the best price obtainable. With little Flynn ID. the talent couldn't figure any other horse to have a chance. and they went to the horse good and strong. It was esti- mated that the gentlemen on the high stools lost $20O00 on the race.
 There was a rumor. too, that Me Dowell and his many friends who were on the inside" had heavy com missions down in bedrooms all over the country and put up only a small wager here at the track. They did this so that there would be no re- ductiOn in the odds.
 Serensde got off fin front and came past the judges stand three lengths to the good. Sister Ollie. a 13 to | shot. finished second. while Alamia, at F to i, finished third. The win ners follow:
 First -Serenade. first: Sister Ollie. second: Alamia. third.

CROSBY HIGH
 WELL WHIPPED
Springfield Players Too Speedy For the Local Lads Last
 Night.

The Crosby basketball five got a good whipping last night on the Y. M. c. A. floor and the chaps from the Springfield high school made them look like selling platers. Had it not been for the good blocking in the latter stages of the game, Spring field would have had a score so big that it would be almost impossible to keep track of it. The local boys did better work in the first half in the matter of throwing for the bas- ket, but hard luck was against them at that in this period, as many times the ball aggravatingly refused to stay in the basket. In the second period the Springfields tore holes in the score column, and although blocked many times, continued to forge ahead until the close found them leading by the score of 33 to 13.

After due deliberation, Sam Fitz- patrick, the manager of Jack John son, issued this ultimatum to Tommy Burns, who wants to fight the big negro pugilist in England with a S5,00O guarantee to the latter, win, lose or draw: T will sign articles for Johnson to fight Burns before Golf roths club in San Francisco, and will guarantee Burns $15,O0O for his end, win, lose or draw. I will also bet him S2,500 on the side that Johnson knocks him out inside of twenty rounds. I have had $2,500 forfeit up with New York sporting man for several month waiting for Burns to cover it, but he has never made a genuine move to clinch match. Of course Johnson will not fight Burns in England for small money when Coffroth stands ready to put up a purse of $25,000. If Burns agrees to fight my man in Frisco, there will be a $50,000 gate, so that when Burns talks about fight in England for about one-fourth that amount he con- yinces me that he is fourdusher."

THE SPORTING NEWS.
THE PUGILISTS GOOD BATTLE
 IN NEW YORK Goodman Defeated Battling Hurley -Tbat Burns Offer Consider
 ed--Other News.

Battling" Hurley got his first taste of defeat last night when he lost by an eyelash to Jack Goodman at the Sharkey A. C., in New York, in their six round bout. Goodman's cleverness and knowledge of boxing slightly offset Hurleys terrific in fighting and won the decision by q scant margin.
 It looked bad for Goodman in the second round, when the .'Battler' tore into him and pounded him about the stomach and over the kidneys. Good man was in distress and only his great ring generalship saved him. He stalled until the gong saved him.
 In the next there was a wonderful change Goodman unbelted every jab he had in that noted left of his and shook Hurley from head to toes and time again. He couldn't stop the Jerseyte's boring, however, for Hur- ley took the punches and kept wad- ing in for more.
 In the fourth Hurley fought his best. He just tore into Goodman pep pering him with awful body blows and occasionally sending over that wicked left of his to the face. Good man stabbed" him repeatedly with his left, and toward the end of the round pulled up even.
 In the fifth Goodman came up strong and evinced willingness to stand toe to toe and slug. He soon realized his mistake, however. and fell back on bis old style-using a left jab and crossing with the right every few seconds
 Hurley was plainly tired in the sixth and it was then that Goodman earned the decision. Up until this round it had been pretty. even bout. Goodman uncorked three lefts ill as many seconds the instant they had shaken hands, and Hurley began to slow up fast.
 Goodman all through the battle did some marvellous blocking, and many punch with a knockout back of it never reached it's intended destina- tion. Never before has the Sharkey A. c. gymnasium held such q crowd. Every inch of space was occupied and then some.
