der they are in now. The Pirates again
looked stronger than any of their rivals,
at least among the western teams, and
they have an advantage in that they will
meet the eastern teams at home Tor the
next two weeks. But the eastern candi-
dates for the pennant have the advan-
tage of finishing at home this year and
much depends upon their showing In the

Cubs will have to improve materially be-
fore they can be figured. Chances team

against the Pirates. 1t is not going to be
an easy matter to- head the Pirates off.
The season of course is still young, but
victories count just as much now as later
in the season.

longs. for he seems too good a ball play
er to be kept for utility work. When
played regularly Killifers fielding will be-
come better with every game if he really
has the ability to be an infielder on
major league team. and If his hitting
warrants it place in the outfield might
be found for him. The team cannot at
ford to have good hitters sitting on the
bench.
No young player who has broken into
fast company in recent years has had
such sensational debut as Jack Flynn.
the Pirates new first baseman. In no
less than five games this spring Flynn
has by reason of a timely drive won
games for his team, and on two occa-
sions he has won games from Chicago
with a home run clOut. Flynn is not
showing up like Wagner in the aver
ages, but he is making his hits count
thus showing extreme gameness, which is
one of the greatest requisites of a win
ming ball player.
Several clubs had their eyes on Flynn
while with st. Paul last season, but it
was not until in December that the Pitts
burg club purchased him. There was a
wide difference of opinion as to Flynn
chances to make good with the Pirates
but after looking him over Manager
Clarke decided that he would do, ridded
the team of all other candidates for the
position and gave the place to- Flynn,
who has certainly made good with both
feet.

TRAINING TABLE FOR ROWERS.
Georgetown's 0arsmen Will Eat
Three Full Meals Daily Hereafter.

AS final preparation for their race
against the M.ddies Saturday, the
Georgetown oarsmen began eating their
MONDAY meal today at a training able
established at a restaurant, which place
was for many years patronized by the
Hilltop athletes when they were allowed
the full privilege of taking their meals
outside the school. The action which is
at present being taken is the result of a
refusal Of the faculty of the university
10 establish big meal on the colfeae
commons instead of the customary
iuncheon. When it was announced that
this would not be done the members of
the crew got together and subscribed an
amount sufficient to insure the retention
OF the present system until the men leave
for Poughkeejsie.
Great surprise was accustomed by the
faculty refusing to grant the privilege, as
1t was generally believed that in view of
existing conditions which have handi-
capped the candidates for the crew since
the beginning of the season some eXeep-
ton would be made in their favor. A
few weeks ago Coach Dempsey applied
for the MONDAY meal, on the ground
strenuous training enforced on them il
they did not have three full meals every
day instead of a luncheon at noon. For
a while it looked as though the permits
sion would be given, and the men were
counting on its installation this week
when the announcement came that it
would be impossible to grant them the
request at this time.
Coach Dempsey. after witnessing the
Columbia-Navy race Saturday, is still
confident that his charges can trim the

PRECEDENT FAvORS
P|TTSBURC PIRATES
National League Pennant Win
ners Have Always
Repeated.

1t is an interesting and somewhat en-
traordinary fact in connection with the
championship of the National League
that since 1890, the year of the Brother
hood war, there always has been re
peater' for the title. The explanation OF
that phrase Is that a winning team has
won the championship at least two years
In succession.
This is the record: In 1891, 1892 and
1893 Boston won the championship. In
1s04, 1895 and 1896 it was captured by
Baltimore In 1897 and 1893 Boston again
won. In 1890 and 1900 Brooklyn earned
the pennant. In 1901, 1902 and 1903 Pitts
burg was the successful club. In 1904 and
1905 the Giants busted. themselves and
won. In 1906. 1907 and 1908 the much
coveted Eye yards or SO OF bunting was
captured by Chicago.
In 10O9s Pittsburg won. Now the ques-
ton before the National League and some
20, OOO, 900 or more Of base ball fans is
whether Pittsburg can do it again.
Is the precedent OF eighteen years TO be
continued or are the clubs of the Ma
tionaI League. other than PittsburS smart
enough this season to bring about an
other result?
There was not such a long period OF

victory of the Bro0wIyn team in 1880. In

BAT NELSON CONFIDENT.
Dane Says He Can Knock Wolgast
Out if He Gets a Chance.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE. May 9.-Battling Nelson,
former lightweight champion Of the
world, arrived in Baltimore last night
from Boston. The Durable Dane will ap-
pear this week at the Gayety Theater,
meeting his sparring partner. Abdul the
Turk. for four rounds each performance.
Nelson looks and acts far from the
manner usually attributed TO "A defeated
champion. He appears in almost perfect
physical condition, his cheeks being pink
and clear and his step springy. He is
confident of being able. to defeat Ad VOL
CAST, who won the lightweight title from
him last February, and declares that all
his energies from now on will be directed
toward forcing Wolgast into return
match.
"Wolgast has had his chance of knock
ing me out" declares Nelson. '.He won
the title on a huke. as Referee Eddie
Smith became faint-hearted at the sight
OF so much blood and called the battle
in the fortieth round. In many of nv
other battles I have been beaten far
worse In the earlier stages of the game
than Wolgast beat me. Joe Cans, at
Goldfield, had me in far worse condition
than did Wolgast yet L finished the bat
tie standing up while Cans was on the
floor. In the fight in which won the
title from Cans Joe had me beaten TO q
pulp for ten rounds, but I was able to
knock him out seven rounds later

BEN LOMOND, May 9.-None of JEFF
fries workouts has pleased his trainers
more IMAM his Saturday bouts with
Choynski and Papke. The speed and en-
durance shown by the fighter and the
ease with which he handled his two OPP
ponents through nine fast rounds is still
the talk of the camp. According to
Farmer Burns. Jeffries' improvement In
condition in the last week has been little
less than remarkable and he is of the
opinion that the big fellow could be in

necessary.

johnson began regular training for the
night today. He announced that he in

cree question for a while.
1t Is said the fighter weighs about 23(
pounds and he plans to take off about
twenty pounds during his training opera
tons. He will try to reduce his weight
very gradually. The negro seems to be
apprehensive of the possibility of goine

first few days he will devote himself
chiefly to light boxing every other day

SPORTING COMMENT.
BY J. ED GRILLo.

There is perhaps no better illustration
of the fiuctuation of ball players value
than the case Of Tim Jordan presents.
Two years ago Jordan was the most
sought-after first baseman i'm the Nation
al League. The New York club offered
Brooklyn $4,000 for his release, which
was turned down, and yet only the other
day Jordan was released to the Toronto
club Of the Eastern League in con.idera.
ton OF the payment OF 81 200.
There is, of course, a great difference
in the Jordan of today and two years
ago. He has deteriorated very rapidly,
and it is questionable whether he will
be able to set the minor league afire
with his speed. known as a home run
hitter, Jordan impaired his value to the
team because he always tried for long
drives instead OF doing that which was
for the best interests of his team. He
has not taken part in full game for
Brooklyn this season, having been sue
ceeded by Daubert. youngster secured
from one OF the leagues in the south.
Charges are being made that the De-
troit team is throwing away games by
Its carelessness. The players seem to
consider all their rivals SO easy that il,
the early stages OF the games they at
tempt foolish stunts on the bases in
an effort to develop new tricks with the
result that runs have been thrown away
which would have brought victory had
the team played the game as it should
be played.
There is no doubt that Detroit has a
strong team. but not SO strong that IL
can afford to toy with any team IL is
stacked up against. Confidence of ball
players is to be admired, but foolish dar-
ing is very apt to bring about condition
which may prove costly in the end
There is no such thing az having a
ball team that SO far outclasses its rivals
that 1t can afford to attempt foolish
experiments in a championship game. The
difference between the leaders and tail
enders i'm a major league race is not so
great that the former need not put forth
its best efforts to defeat the later
Jeffries has always had his own ideas
abou how he should train and heretofore
this has always proven successful but it
does seem strange that he should not
have surrounded himself with q more
formidable lot of sparrtng partners. The
only young man I'm Jef's camp Ia Billy
Papke, and he is SO much smaller than
the former champion that he can hardly
put up an argument against him good
enough to furnish the kind OF work that
Jeffries really needs,
In his desire to work with a lot Of
fast men Jeffries is overlooking the
benefit he would derive by boxing with
big. husky fellows who could both give
and stand a wallop. 1t may be that
Jeffries is acting wisely in taking
OF his training. but il does seem that
he will have to improve his training
partners materially in order to get the
desired results later on.
