BACK FROM EUROPE
Took Second Place in Six Day
Race in Germany

Floyd Mcfarland who. teamed with
Jimmie Moran, took second place in
the six day bicycle race in the Sport
Palace in Berlin, arrived yesterday af-
ternoon on the Kaiser Wilhelm der

The second annual season OF the
City Baseball League, this year more
strongly entrenched than the year Of
its inception, will soon be inaugurated.
and the prospects for a successful sea-
son seem particularly bright. The
four clubs which comprised the league
last season will again be entered, the
only exception being the Clovers pos
sibly taking the franchise of the South
End team. Two other clubs have
been entered and look to have excep-
jonaly fast mines.
Six clubs now constitute the organi-
zation, as follows: St Josephs. Yosts
North Ends, Black Rocks, Eagles and
Clovers. AS yet the latter club has
not been admitted to the league, but
they appear, at the present time, to
be the club most favored. There is
a possibility of making an eight club
circuit, applications for franchise be-
ing received from the Newfelds and
Sokols, the latter a club which won a
name for itself last season. There is
a meeting Of the league this evening
applications of the three teams will be
taken
As yet q schedule has not been COM
lleted, because of the uncertainty of
the number of clubs in the league. 1t
IS anticipated, though, that the league
will start off on its season about the
first Sunday Of May, and that the
clubs win play two games, II not three,

OLD TIMERS BETTER
AT STEALING BASES
Billy Hamilton and StOvey
Had it on Cobb and
Collins

Are modern ballplayers as good
base stealers as the veterans Of TWEEN
ty years ago? That is question
much mooted these days. Compar-
ing the work of Harry Stovey and
Billy Hamilton with Eddie Collins
and Ty Cobb, indicates that the old
timers were better. Discussing the
question a writer in a New York pa
per says:
1T is the base-stealing department
that the biggest difference between
the old-time bah-players and the
present generation is found and COM
parison between the figures of twenty
years ago and now show a remarkable
falling off.
In 1886 in the National League
three men stole more than fifty bases.
Harry Stovey led the American Asso-
citation with SO steals. In 1887 Sto-
vey broke all records by stealing 143
bases. Arlie Latham was a close
second with 142. In the National Lea
que Johnny Ward led with 101 steals,
the late Jimmy Fogarty being second.
In 1888 Stovey made a record that
will hardly be touched. He stole 156
bases.
Billy Hamilton came to the front
as the American Associations best
base runner in 1889. He put III
steals to his credit, leading Stovey by
two. Fogarty did the best work in the
National, stealing 80 bases. Since
the advent of Ty Cobb and Eddie Col
Inns base running has had a revival
but the two American League stars
are the only players who show any
thing like the base-stealing ability
of the Old-timers. In 1909 Cobb led
with 76 steals. Collins was second
with rs. Last year Collins attained
his ambition and beat out Cobb, steal
ing 81 bases to IS for the Tiger.
Some fans may argue that the
catchers of the olden days were not
as strong as those of the present time.
A glance at the names of the catch
ers, on the rosters of the two leagues
will refute that theory There never
were any better catchers than Ewing,
CURE, Kelly. Carroll, Ames and Lave
Cross, Bushong, Robinson and Sny-
der.
Billy Hamilton, one of the best
base runners of all time, who in three
different years led the country in sto-
len bases. is Of the opinion that base
running had reached it's height of
perfection years ago. 1t is the de-
Tense, the breaking up of steals, that
has the field for development, accord
ing to Hamilton, who says:
In my opinion base-stealing has
reached perfection so far as one man
annexing an extra bag. New tricks
are possible in the double steal or
any other com bination of the defense
or where the ball is in play Devel-
opment must come in the defensive
work in breaking up these combina-
ton steals. But it is now largely 4

MURPHY WAS
EASY PICKING
FOR MCFARLAND
Chicago Boy Outpoints Pride of
Flatbush i'm Ten Rounds

New York, April 19.-In a fast and
furious bout of ten rounds, scintillat-
ing with brilliant boxing from the
first clang of the bell to the last,
Packey Mcfarland, the peerless fight
er from Chicago. outpointed Tommy
Murphy of Flatbush at the Fairmont
Athletic Club last night In nine out
of the ten sessions Packey's superior
work shone like a beacon light far
above his adversary.
1t was a great boxing exhibition
the finest by wide margin ever seen
in New York. Both lads were clever
and fought hard throughout, but with
the exception of the second round,
Packey so far outclassed Tommy that
IL was apparent that he had not q
chance to win save by the grace of a
wild swing to the jaw which might
produce a Knockout
Packey's rapid-fire attacks and his
impregnable defense proved too much
for Murphy. Tommy was like child
in the hands of Mcfarland. Packey
tented him into openings and then
proceeded to mark his nose and lips
with swings, jabs, hooks and upper
cuts.
There was a mixup regarding the
weight. Packey was on hand at 8
o'clock to weigh in. Murphy, believ-
ing that 5 o'clock was the time for
this important feature, was not at the
Fairmont clubhouse. Mcfarland
jumped onto the scales and made the
beam CULVER slightly at 134 pounds.
After waiting some time for Murphy
TO appear, Packey, with an air of in
difference, said 70 Johnny Oliver,
Murphy's manager: I'll waive the
question of weight with Tommy. I
don't care if he weighs a ton, I'll get
him.
The bout was a greater magnet of
attention to the boxing fans than the
observation-disclosures exhibition. Every
nook and Granny of the big clubhouse
was occupied.
The men most vitality interested in
the result of the bout and who watch
ed closely every move of the boxers
were the following shining galaxy of
stars of the lightweight brigade:
Champion AID Wolgast. Knockout
Brown, One-Round Hogan, Freddie
near the ringside and noted carefully
and missed the boxers.
Packey was the first to enter the
ring. He received a round of ap-
plause, but it was only a zephyr in
comparison to the ovation that Muir
ply received Tommy was the popu-
lar favorite with the crowd. Packey's
seconds were Young Corbett and Emil
Thiery. Behind Murphy were john
ny Oliver and Al Greenwood. While
the lads were preparing for the ses-
sion, Abe Attell, Knockout Brown,
One-Round Hogan, AID Wolgast and
Freddie Welsh were introduced and
stood in the ring together side by
side.

CITY LEAGUE WILL BE

May Play Series With Champions Of New

city will have chance to play the
league Clubs of New Haven. While
half of the local league clubs are play
Ing in New Haven, the remainder will
be entertaining the other half from
New Haven. The following Sunday
the reverse will rule. Games will be
played until all but one club is elm
mated A three cornered fight may
also be the outcome, as arrangements
will probably be made to play off with
the winner of the Waterbury City
League.
The players on the local league
teams are recruited from all over the
city. The quality of ball handed out
is of a high order. The fielding is
exceedingly good, while the batting
generally excellent. That the fastest
men in the city are enrolled under
the standard Of some one of the clubs
is evidenced by the large number of
men who have this season gone out
and tried their hand at the profess
sional game.
. Franchises in the league are not cas-
lily procured. With the start of the
league last season. a forfeit of $40
was required as a guarantee Of faith,
This forfeit has been raised this sea-
son for each club to $25, while it is
expected that by July another forfeit
of s25 will have to be posted by each
club.
