ONLY TWO FAVORITES
 WIN AT TAMPA TRACK

Tampa, Fla, March 13.-Only two favor ties were successful at the Tampa track this afternoon. Both were odds-on with prices so short that they were lightly played and in consequence the books reaped quite a harvest.
 Out of six mounts Jockey Bergen rode 4 winners and two thirds. Frank Patton, at 20 to 1 and Virsain, quoted at 10 to l, proved the surprises. John Marrs, at to 1, won the feature, five-eighths dash, easily. The favorite, Anavri, could only get up for show.

With onliy one match with Washing off, the Birmingham Athletic club rife team will end it's second season in in- door rifle shooting with honors. They have shot against all the large cities throughout the United States and have created a sensation among the experts of the northern cities by the good scores they have been making and win ming from many of the old teams. The Birmingham team was the only south ern team entered in the league last season and one of the only two that are entered this season. The other southern city that is represented is Savannah, Ga. This is Savannah's first season and so far they have not won a single match.
 Any team in the United States is eligi- ble to enter this league, experts and professionals not barred. Last sea son there were only 12 cities repre- sented mostly eastern cities and the Birmingham Athletic club team finished up in sixth place for their first season. This season there are 26 cities, rep resenting 16 states entered
 If the Birmingham Athletic club loses both the remaining matches the team will finish up this season in seventh place, and if it wins one will finish in sixth place. The league Is divided into divisions on account of the large num- Der of entries, Birmingham is in the eastern divisions. The standing to date is as follows:

COTTON STATES IS
 IMPROVED CIRCUIT

Jackson, Miss, March 13.-The Cot ton States league will be much faster this season than last That Is shown by the caliber of the managers signed, as well as the class of players secured by various teams. Last season there was too much experimenting to get down to the real thing, but this season each team has a nucleus of good players, while the managers are of class that will bring out the best there Is in q man.
 The signing of Waldran by Meridian gives tine Infants a man who knows the game, is a good judge of ball players, has always been a fast player, and can be counted on to raise the standard Of the Meridian team considerably.
 Norcum is decidedly better man than Nance. He is a different type Of man, and has already won the bugs over by his methods. He is putting his men through preliminary work at rast clip and keeps them digging all the time. Norcum has had experience as a manager. has always been good ball player, and knows how to get the goods from the youngsters.
 Mills at Vicksburg showed his ca pacity last season when, after taxing charge of the Mound Dwellers in mid season, he scraped together a fast team and had the tail-enders going at rasl CID when tue lldS iCiA A'AAiiS "-->>-~ show" something this season as 3 manager, as he will be given every op- portunity.
 Smith, who will lead the Woodpeckers at Hattiesburg this season, Is pal player of experience and ability. Ills standard is set for higher things than were attained by the Woodpeckers las, season, and he is collecting lot ol players of known ability to fight 1t ou' with the first year recruits for the Jops he has to dispense. Hattiesburg will be much stronger than last year. Muiiane is one of those who will be In the thlcf of the fight this season. He is an ex' perienced man on the job. and has gon' after ball players of reputation. Mul, fancy can be counted on for fas team. Thornton will practically stant pat with the Greenwood pennant win ners of last season. but unless tnt Sweet Myres show more than In ISl' they will find the going rather heavy A few changes have been made In th' | two Greenwood line-ups, but If the champs of 1910 expect to be in the run ming for the flag more strength VII have to be added.
 The playing strength Of the tean' will be increased at least S3 per cen over last season. This is due to the isc that each team has lot of experienced men, something they did not nave las race.

COONEY SLATED
 FOR PELICAN JOB

New Orleans, March 13.-Phil Cooney played short for the Pelicans Saturday and although it is said that he was merely loaned to Manager Frank until the arrival of Bill Lindsay rumors to the effect that he would soon become regular member of the Pel flock have started.
 Cooney was here last spring with the Cleveland Maps. He was released, played on the Pacific coast and was drafted by the Cubs. It Is possible that he was drafted by Manager Chance with the view of turning him over to the Pelicans. Although he is a classy play CT there Is cossiderable doubt about his ability to stick in the majors.
 With Cooney Pelican the infield sit uation would be a rather puZzling one. Manager Frank said the other day hc intended keeping George Rohe on third base. This would throw Pope to sec ond with Lindsay fixture at short This programme would be interrupted with Cooney in the fold.
 Lindsay will be along Monday or Tuesday.
 From the tone of Manager Frank s talk 1t is evident that he is about to give up hope of securing Catcher An gemier from the Cubs. Manager Chance has but four catchers and will prob- ably want to hold all four. The other three are Kling, Archer and Needham Angemier looks very classy and would be a strong acquisition if Frank could land him. The Maps have six catchers and Frank may get one of these.

M'INTOSH BUSHES
 TO DEFEND BOXING
By RICHARD DAHLGREN

London. March 13-Pugilism has the center of the stage in the sporting arena. As many as 20 exhibitions are held nightly here and the other big cities have their share. Hugh D. Me 1ntosh. the fight promoter, has come out with a lengthy pronunciament on the subject, in which he gives his req sons for what he calls the revival or boom of boxing. He says: Although the majority of the general public who take an interest in athletics evidently favor boxing, certain sportsmen per nist in clinging to the notion that DoN- ing is a sport into which brutality must enter at all times
 "I cannot do better than endeavor to point out the various causes which have at last altogether cleansed the art or 4 self-defense of the charges-many of them must-which in the past were laid against the sport in those days when, under London ring rules, wrestling and other methods which might rightfully have been termed brutal were frequent.
 But prize fighting with bare knuckles, under elastic rules. and box
 
 two totally different things. And that the former method of settling differ ences has been replaced by the latter is a change for which every sportsman must feel glad.
 .'The bare knuckle fighter and his of lenses against the laws has completely disappeared, and now it is no uncom- mon thing for the ordinary, everyday individual who has a grievance to set tie to do so under recognized rules, despite the fact that he may have no Knowledge whatever of boxing skill.
 But what does that matter? At least he knows that the modern box ing rules are fair, and that the laws under which contests are carried out provide that the possibility of injury to either combatant is no greater than in most of our games, and certainly not 50 great as in some of which opponents tion whatever.
 But is there boom in boxing? Who says there is a boom in boxing? ssWhat signs are there to prove that boxing is more popular than decade ago."
 "A few years ago in London, with s the exception of amateur boxing clubs there were only few private clubs at which boxing could be witnessed, and then only by members, for the general public was naturally debarred from at tending.

 At the time the second baseman could not account for the light, as if from an American aurora borealis, but the follow ing morning the newspapers told him the story of the destruction of property ana life in Pleasant Prairie.

 G,lruv. the sidewheeing box artist, re- norted yesterday. having completed the long trip from Mexico to Birmingham He did not talk at length concerning the civil strife in Mexico, but did venture the opinion that people in Alabama could not aprreeiate to what extent the revo- lufion has gone, and to what an extent the lnsurrectos are aroused.
 Gillov season before last was given trial Lv Nashville, but his arm went bad' and he, was forced to forego the season work He has rested since. and is now in good shape he thinks. He was recom- mended to Birmingham by Bob Messeh- ger who last season was a star outfielder of the Baron team. With Gilroy in Nash vile was Catcher Pratt. the big fellow who looks good behind the Baron plate
 Marcan was out in uniform yesterday, but took it very "easy" for the first day Yantz was on the field, too, and took part in the practice. He looks like ball play er-one of those serious, hard working fellows who are always dangerous-espe- cially in the pinches.
 Chenault was out for the first time, too He is a big fellow, as large as Fleharty. iIe cut them aloose yesterday afternoon with a great deal of steam, and his ao- ton favorably impressed the spectators i'll the grandstand.
