BAKER TO GIVE UP.
Holyoke Second Baseman Accepts Po- sition as Engineer,

Holyoke, Aug 19.-Offered a re- sponsible position as mechanical en- gineer with large Baltimore, Md, concern, Howard Baker, second base man of the Holyoke team, will retire permanently on the diamond after to- days double-header with Hartford. Player Baker notified Manager Fred Winkler of his decision to quit base ball yesterday afternoon, and, al- though he desired to start southward at once, agreed to help out the club against Hartford to-day, as there is hardly time to break in new man in his place and it, is most important to the. clubs welfare that its best team be on the field.
 Tom Dowd brought Baker here June 29, 1906, after he had been let out by Waterbury. In the first few games he was played in the outfield and then shifted to shortstop and later went to second base. which po- sition he has filled ever since, miss ing but few games since he came here. He started in professional baseball eight years ago in Chester, Pa, after picking up the rudiments of the game with amateur clubs around Baltimore. He played with the Lan- caster Tri-State league team befors breaking into, this league. He play ed fine ball last season and took a prominent part in bringing the pen nant here. Tom Scanlon, the Spring field boy, may be given chance now to show what he can do at the sec yond station. "th

THOMAS AN EASY MARK.

San Francisco, Aug 19.-Stanley Ketchell knocked Joe Thomas out last night in the second round. ,,.n
 The, fight had gone only one min ute and half in: the second round when Thomas was down for the count of nine. Then the police interfered. Ketchel had knocked him out with a terrific shower of punches on the head and body. ,.,rs .-. In the first round Thomas landed some stiff punches on the body which seemed to give him confidence. Ketch- el backed Thomas in a corner and made half shift and caught him on the side of the head with a hard left hand punch. Ketchell feinted, found Thomas wide open and sent in a fierce right hand punch to the stomach, putting Thomas down for the count of seven.
 When Joe arose Ketchell sent him down again with a series of hard right and left blows on the body and jaw. The gong saved him in this round. =g..s-
 At the opening of the second round Ketcheil rushed Thomas to the ropes and hammered him unmercifully on the head and body Referee Smith had counted nine when Captain An- derson of the police department, mo- tioned to him to stop the fight. Thom- -as had absolutely no chance to con tinue.. -.f .--

THE PUGILlSTs.
TWO BATTLES
 LAST NIGHT
Papke Won But no Decision Was Given-- Joe Thomas Knocked
 Out.

Billy Papke gave Sailor Burke an unmerciful beating in their six round bout. at the National Sporting Club of America last night.
 Burke disgusted his admirers and the spectators by holding on despite Referee Charlie Whites command time and time again. He was whip ped in the first minute of the first round when Papke fioored him with right to the jaw.
 Papke forced the battle from the beginning to end, driving Burke around the ring, against the ropes and into Charley White. The Sailor appeared utterly unable to stand up and slug and tried it only once, when, in the fourth round, he thought be- cause Papke walked away from him that he was tiring Burke did step into Papke then-and was sorry for 1t.
 Papke ,unlimbered every punch and wallop he had then, and what he did to poor Burke was caution. His already deeper hue of mourning, his already bleeding and. battered mouth was made to bleed in tor rent, the blood flowing down poor Burke's throat, choking him. He started again on his holding tactics, but Papke let him hold and hammer ed him about the. body, occasionally sending one up under Referee Whites arm, landing on Burke's jaw.
 In the fifth Papke foored Burke again with asclean right to the jaw. The sailor took the count of nine and staggered to his feet only to slip down at the first punch iPapke un- corked. s6r....
 Bleeding and torn and evidently acting under instructions to "hold l on," Burke. came within arms length of Papke, who had extended his right hand to shake, as is the"usual GUS tom. Burke just barely touched the tip and his opponents glove then ! started to run away again. s~ ~ Papke was determined to end il and tore after his man, driving hin I to the ropes and battering him un- mercifully., Referee White couldn't pry them apart when Burke once got his arms about Papke until he exert. ed all his strength, aided by Papke's The westerner tried hard to make Burke fight, implored him to fight taunted him, but it was. no use. The sailor was out to stick the six rounds and didn't mean to take chance. He was the happiest man in the build. ing when the gong ended the battle
 Papke did not have a mark on him but Burke was pounded 10 a pulp and will have to go into retirement for g week or two to let the marks of hi! opponents. fists fade away pt

STUNG THE EIGHTH TIME.

Meriden, Conn, Aug 19.-With two out in the eighth inning and a shutout staring them full in the face, Pulp towns pellet pounders got busy yesterday afternoon, and hammered the hitherto unhittable Jocko Halligan for three healthy raps that produced two runs, just enough to crawl up even with Meri- den on the tally board. Completing the ninth without score on either side. Winkler's walIopers renewed their attack on Halligan in the tenth. and couple of more stinging slashes, closely connected with a pass and two errors, built an addi- tion of three runs to Holyokes to- tai. Meriden's men could not add any more, and consequently game No s was tied to the locals long los- ing streak. The score: R.H.E. Holyoke .o0O6 0002 0S-5 s 2 Meriden 002e 0 0 00O-2 10 6

CLARKIN TO BRING SUIT.
Tracy to Be Asked to Settle for
 Springfield Fiasco.

Hartford, Aug 19.-The row that was started when Manager ONeil re- fused to play game in this city be- cause President Tracy ordered Hugh Rorty to umpire was not settled at the meeting of the league directors on Monday night The directors thought they settled it but it will not be entirely settled until the courts get through with it.
 As the league directors, with the advice of such eminent baseball law yers as James H. O'Rourke, Harold R. Durant and Cornelius J. Danaher, de- sided that President Tracy had no authority to assign an umpire for the game and that Manager O'Neil was justified in refusing to play, Manager Clarkin is Of the opinion thatit is up to President Tracy to make good to him the money that he has paid out for rain checks. amounting to about $1,300, this sum including the grand stand checks.
 It Is not expected that President Tracy will write out a check for this amount as soon as the demand is made upon him and so Manager Clarkin intends to bring a suit to re- cover the money. Manager O'Neil has waived his claim upon any of the re- ceipts,, as he said it would be dis honorable for him to take any such money. When the case gets into court, Manager Clarkin says he will have a lawyer whose reputation equals any of the baseball lawyers mentioned. As nothing was done by the directors to check rowdyism or attacks upon umpires, it would be a wholesome thing for. the game if ev. erything that led up to the vote talk en in the meeting should have thor ough airing in court room.
