Manager Dooin Will
 Have Vaudeville Quartet
Leader of Phillies to Take Moore, Rowan and f< Paskert

Philadelphia, Pa, May At is rumored that Charley Dooin, the man. ager of the Philadelphia National League team, next winter will take three of his team mates on the stage with him.
 Dooin is a fair singer and has spent some of his spare time training a quartet. The members of this quar- tet are Earl Moore, Jack Rowan, Honey Boy Paskert and Dooin. Down South they made life pleasant for the "Phillies'' on dull evenings, and they have done so we'll that Dofn thinks they should make a hit in vaudeville
 AS social club Doin thinks that the "Phillies" have them all beaten. National and American League in- cluded Humor abounds, and when Lobert, Knabe, Rowan. Paskert and Magee begin to cut capers even John Titus has to forget his age. Contrary to reports that Magee is grouch since his Quarrels last summer with Johnny Bates, men travelling with the team since early spring say that Sherwood plays as many tricks and is the victim of as many in return as any player on the team. Paskert is the record holder for story telling. For five successive hours he held his fellow players at Birmingham one night in the spring. No one has equalled that mark. -

GAELIC FOOTBALL SEASON
 OPENS HERE NEXT SUNDAY

The Gaelic football season will open here on Sunday, May ', at 3 o'clock at the Seaside flats when the Young Emmets of this city and Young Ire lands of New Haven meet. These teams having had several close con- tests last year, are equally desirous of gaining the laurels. The game will be played entirely under the recently adopted improved rules. AS both teams are evenly matched one of the hardest and most scientific games of gaelic football ever witnessed here is expected. The home team under Captain Mccarthy, although recently defeated in New Haven, are now in good condition and unanimously de- clare that they will bring back the lau- rels so narrowly swelched from them by the Elm City boys Tn the mean time the Young Emmet club having secured a 12 months lease of the Arion hall will celebrate its opening by giving an Irish social and dance next Saturday evening. The arrange ment committee is working hard and hope to make this opening grand success.

zBYSzKO LOSES MATCH
 TO WRESTLER AMERICUS
Polish Grappler Fails to Throw
 Opponent in an Hour

zbyszko, the mighty wrestling son of Poland" lost his handicap match in New York last night with Amerl- GUS when he failed to throw the lat ter once within an hour. Judging from the match the pair of grap piers might have kept on working for days without either getting an ad- vantage. Zbyszko is built on the lines of a mammoth and almost as powerful. Americus is lighter than Zbyszko, but when it comes down to cleverness he is a graduate of that course.
 In the early part of the contest Americus surprised the throng by grabbing up Zbyszko and tossing the latter over his head. This was the first time anybody treated Zbyszko SO roughly in this country, and he was just as amazed as the crowd. During the first half hour Americus did the bigger part of the work. He was an adept in strategy and got Zbyszko in- to innumerable holds. But the lat ter's huge strength always brought him out of trouble

He gays that he flies with remarkable ease and the tricks he does in the air have startled the Mineola avia- tors, who have witnessed his work. He said further that the people of Bridgeport have a surprise in stors for them for no aviator in the coun- try today does the capers in the air which Ovington is capable of doing. His Bleriot machine attracted great attention there because of it's moro modern features and he advised his father to be sure and see Ovington's exhibition.
 What MT Wilson has written is but a confirmation of the glowing &C., counts of Ovington's work about New York city in such reliable newspapers as the New York Sun, Evening Sun. New York Herald, Telegram, World, Press, Times, Telegraph and others who have proclaimed him the fastest aviator in the country, and the one man who can uphold Americas re- putation in the international aviation speed contest in England on July for the James Gordon Bennett cup.
 Ovington promises to fly with the wind blowing up to 20 miles an hour or in the rain. It must be pretty close to a gale for him to decide not to fly until the following day.

SNYDER IN

 BEATS PAGERS
McCann's Men Rally in Seventh After Waterbury Gained
 Lead
(By Wagner.)

Poor Uncle Tom Tuckey. The great southpaw who used to shoot 'em across the pan with great eclat F'rench stuff), is beating it over the ice with the bloodhounds of Gene McCann in close pursuit. The old sidewheeler was. announced to pitch for Waterbury yesterday, and after throwing over a few that barely reached the plate, he told Manager Pop McPartlin that the old soupbone wasn't there. So Hawkes., a tall Texan, was sent in. and the Mechanics put him to the when Tuckey inspired terror in the hearts of Rooters' Row, but now they laugh him to scorn (ha-ha.)
 Chief Snyder was fiinging for Bridgeport, and the foxy gent made 1t three straight wins for himself by holding the Pacers to six hits. He would have shut them out if Jimmy Hail and Skipper Edey could have de- cided who was to take Hawkes. Texas leaguer in the seventh, when two were out. Snyder famed five and gave three passes. He was never in dan ger except in the seventh.
 McCann's speed merchants slapped Hawkes. for seven hits. Tom Crooks got two of those and Russell and Litschi also contributed timely taps. The fielding headliners were J. Hall and L. Litschi, who did snappy work around their side of the infield.
 Waterbury appeared without Chief Miller. who is injured, and Jack Hoey, the outfielder still under suspension. The fans noted the absence of Con- naughton at second and Rodgers In the outfield. The Pacers seem to be a fair fielding aggregation. but are not the hitters that the-<champions were.
 The Mechanics jumped into the lead by gathering a run in the fourth. Jimmy Hall singled and stole second. Harvey Russell was the cloutfng kid with a drive to right that brought Hall over the rubber.
 Waterbury threw a scare into the crowd in the seventh by getting two. Pop Nichols singled and went to sec ond on Ahearn's out. Hawkes. pop ped a fly in short left that both Eley and Hall went after and neither got, allowing Nichols to score. O'Hara drove one to- right center for two bases, sending Hawkes. home. Shy der frightened up and gave no further hits
 Here is the way McCanns crew won out in the seventh. Chief Snyder walked. but Skipper Eley famed try ing to sacrifice. Litschi planted hit in left and Tom Crooks bounded one off Shortell's pins. filling the bases. With the bleachers in an uproar, Ladd sent a grounder to O'Hara that dashed home. Then Kauff came up and sent a long drive to Nichols on which Litschi scored the winning run. The score:

AL KAUFMAN WILL
 ENTER RING AGAIN
Wants to Meet Carl Morris,
 the Oklahoma White Hope

Al Kaufman, the California heavy weight, has grown weary of life on the vaudeville circuits and has decid- ed to re-enter the ring, meeting all corners. At least that is the way he has just expressed himself, but there is some doubt as to whether he will consent to try conclusions with such a dangerous person as Sam Lang ford. Kaufman was partially stunned when he heard the news that Lang ford had made a chopping block of Bill Lang, the Australian pugilist. He had boxed six rounds with Lang him. self and had drawn the conclusion that the Antipodean was pretty shifty individual, but when Lang had been beaten to a frazzle by the Bos- ton Tar Baby, Kaufman, it is said, concluded that it would be advisable to scratch Langford from his list of prospective opponents, at least for the present.
 Kaufman will begin new cam pafgn at Kansas City on May 10 in a 10 round bout with Jim Flynn, the Pueblo fireman. He knocked Flynn out in nine rounds in August, 1908, at Los Angeles, but as the Pueblo man has been eager for a return match, Kaufman has taken him on for the purpose of gathering a bunch of easy money. After this affair the Call1ofn1an says ne Will De ready to try out Carl Morris, the Oklahoma Giant, but there is little chance for such g. meeting, as Morris isn't going after big game until some time next winter. If Kaufman is anxious to test Jack Johnson again Philadelphia Jack O'Brien is ready to arrange Q six-round bout for his new club in the Quaker City.
 It has been Kaufman's idea to fight Johnson for the worlds champion ship at some future date. Ever since their 10 round scrap in California Kaufman has been talking about his chances with the big negro, but very few ring followers have taken stock in the possibility of meeting for the reason that. according to the general opinion, Johnson would be the win ner in a bout of 45 rounds. But in a six round bout Kaufman, who takes care of his physical condition, might be able to make Johnson extend him. self. and that is why Promoter O'Brien has lines out for a match.
