New York, Feb. 1O.-In 80 min
utes of wrestling George Hacken-
schmidt, the Russian lion, failed to
throw Stanislaus Zbyszko. the Pole,
at Madison Square garden last night
and the match went 10 the Pole.
Hackenschmidt had undertaken to
throw Zbyszko twice within an hour
and a half
POLE HAS ADVANTAGES.
Zbyszko proved veritable grizzly
before Hack. Hack not only failed to
throw the Pole. bur at the end was
down on the mat. with Zbyszko on top
having the advantage OF position.
The Pole was the aggsessor through
out the major portion of the 80 min
utes. True to his threat that he would
show that the Russian Lion was only
mild tabby cat. he shook Hack all
over the ring. tossing him about as
though he was doll baby. He DOS
sessed just as much strength as Hack
and was far more agile. He showed
the Russian many a trick he had not
dreamed of. Hack was on the de-
fonsive most of the time His attempts
a half nelson holds were easily bro
ken. Zbyszko tried many times for a
toe hold, but failed.

gustana gym floor.
The Augustana team is beginning to
show signs of Improvement in team
play The individual work of each
member of the team was good They
all played hard. and won because they
were the better team. Coach Hayes

night. it will prove TO be disastrous
for the Minnesota boys.
The Central university team is com

EARL MOORE CAME
BACK FROM MINORS
Philadelphia Star Once Rel.
gated to Eastern League

Earl Moore, just now the pitching
sensation Of the season, is a. veteran
of veterans. He has been on the
mound pretty steadily for at least
twelve years and In some ways his
career is unique. Other big league
pitchers, notably Tom Hughes of the
Washingtons. have shown telling form
after having been reiegated to the
minors for a while, but probably none
so strikingly as Moore has done in his
three games this season.
Eight years ago Moore ranked as
one Of the foremost of American
league pitchers; in fact in 1908 he led
twenty-seven games won and seven
lost, record not easy to equal, though
he Is setting out in the right way to
do 1t this year
Moore was with the Cleveland club
from 1901 to 1906 inclusive and for the
greater part of that tiror was as
prominent by his skill as he now is
with the Phillies. He was a contem-
pUary in Cleveland with Bernhard,
Addie Joss, Rhoades. Hess and Wright,
a staff conspicuous not only by its
ability but the fact that 1t was COM
posed Of giants.
The baseball guides of the years
1899 and 1900 contain the name OF
one Moore, pitcher with the Dayton
club of the Interstate league, and it is
assumed that this Is the same Moore.
Wicker. Ewing, Joss, Harper, Wiltse,
Pastorious and Altrock are other
names since familiar in big league cir
cles also in the Interstate league list
those years.
In 1901 Moore won sixteen games
and lost fourteen for Cleveland, in
1902 he won nine and lost ten, in
1908 he won twenty-seven and lost
seven. in 1904 he won twelve and lost
eleven, in 1905 he won eighteen and
lost sixteen, in 1906 he played in only
five games.
1t looked then as if he had about
outlived his usefulness and 1906 was
his last year with the Cleveland club
Griffith had him with the New York
Americans in 1907. His record with
the Highlanders was three games wor
and seven lost and Griffith too decid-
ed that Moore had seen his best days
as a big Lacquer. Had either the
Cleveland or New York management
been able to look ahead they would
have held on to Moore as tightly .is
they knew how, even if he were tenn.
porarily not of much service.
Moore spent the year 1908 with the
Jersey City club, where he won thir,
teen games and lost twelve Bill,

team before going to Philadelphia, il

BENNY KAUFF REPORTS

Benny Kauff, the crack outfielder

rived at the Atlantic hotel this morn

play against Hartford this afternoon.
Kauff is q stocky boy, something on
the build of Litschi. I'm in great

with the Yankees and I hope to win
a few games for Bridgeport this sea-

SPRING FOOTBALL
PRACTICE AT YALE
Light Men Have Better Chance
to Make Team Next Season

Fifty-two candidates for the Yale
football team reported for spring
practice yesterday afternoon and
Went through short period of drop
kicking, puntinE and catching. The
practice will continue three weeks.
More light weight men reported
yesterday than ever before and Cap
tain Howe was pleased, as he believes
that the present rules give the fast,
light back a better chance to make
the team than heretofore. The head
coach, Field, is with the varsity crew
squad and the football work will be
under the direction of Captain Howe
and Walter Camp.

WOBBLY BOX
WORK LOSES
GAME FOR US
Mechanics Fielded Perfectly But
Pitchers Weren't There
(By Wagner.)

10y WdSner.)
You can't win unless the pitchers
are going right. Take yesterdays af-
fair for instance. Ivor Swanson ap-
peared on the greensward at Newfield,
minus his old time speed, and also
minus his control, and presented
Hartford with three runs. After that
Redswaller was sent in but the red
man hasn't twirled before this season
and the Senators pounded him before
he got going. After the fourth inning
he was in good shape, and managed
to hold the enemy to three hits and
one run.
Outside of the twirling the Me-
chanics looked all right. They play
ed errorless ball despite the fact that
q morning paper gave Russell an
error on a passed ball. Litschi did
fine work. He clouted out a double
and single and felded perfectly.
Skipper. Eley had fine day. He got
two hits, stole g. base and caught a
man at the plate by a perfect throw
from left field.
McCann's men managed to gather
four runs and these would have been
enough to win if the home brand of
pitching had been up to the mark.
When YOU get lead in a ball game
| the thing to do is to keep it because
you seldom get a chance after the
opposition FORCES ahead and the enc
| my's pitcher settles down. In the
| later innings Bob Stowe and Harvey
Russell had chances to break up the
game but Lakoff had recovered his
control by that time and the local
boys couldn't get the pinch hit.
| Manarer Mccain made change in
| the infield in the fourth, Cy Miller,
who had been hitting weakly, was
taken out. Jimmy Hall went to short
stop and Litschi to, third. This COM
| bination looked better both in field
| ing and in hitting. The score:

NOTES GATHERED FROM
VARIOUS BALL FIELDS
Manager Connery Of Hartford Roasts Umpire
Elmer as Worst Ever

If you should see a ball come shoot
ing right across the plate,
You'd ginger up and say it was
strike as sure as fate.
And you'd yell ''Thief'' and "Robber"
if you heard the umpire call,
AS he raised his left hand in the
air, the fatal word zone ball.
But Mr.. Elmer calls them by a sys-
tenn ali his own.
His eyes are full of cinders and his
headpiece is of bone.
He calls "Strike" on a high inshoot
that nearly brains man.
He shouts "ball'' on the peaches in
the center of the pan.
(By Wagner.)
Every little umpire has a system
all his own. After getting the above
blank verse off the ice we might re-
mark that Umpire Elmer is terrible
mistake. He is wrong in about IS per
cent of his decisions. Outside Of
vaudeville limitation of silk OLough-
lin in yelling his celebrated Strike

repertoire.

McCanns pitching staff is in bad

fective of the twirlers just now. Mar

Cubans, will be with the visitors. Game

said that he now thinks he will take

which. TO tell the truth. seems to be
the sanest way out of lit. The salary
paid there, it is understood, will be
the same that O'Connor received from

foolish to throw away a good sum-

bringing Moore back to fast company
THAT fellow can pitch as Well as he
ever could" Murray declared after
watching his work with Jersey City
and Murray took Moore to Philadel-
phia. Since then Moore has been
getting better and better In 1908
he won eighteen games and lost
twelve for Philadelphia and last year
won twenty-four and lost fifteen. For
a man supposed at one time to be
down and out his return to form the
last three years has been little short
