JEFF GOES AWAY
 AS JOHNSON COMES
Only One Friend to See Former Champion Off

The passing of the old and the coming of the new. That was about the order yesterday when Jim Jeff fries, deposed pugilistic idol, sailed for Europe on the George Washing ton, and Jack Johnson, the present king Of fighters, made his presence in New York known. A year ago thou sands would have turned out to greet the two fighters. Yesterday Bob Yer non was about the only one to bid Jeff farewell. Only a few persons knew Johnson was in New York.
 But. Johnson will make his pres ence Known soon enough. He passed out the startling information yester- day that he has passed into the song bird class. He says he can outsing- well, he didn't mention Caruso, but he did say he could teach Jeff, Cor bett and few of the other Reno ceIe- brities how to hit a high note as we'll as a hard punch.
 Jack still is addicted to the buzz wagons. despite his recent experience in California He didn't want to talk much about that. But he has an auto here with him that can travel fast enough to satisfy his new ideas on speed Some fifty or sixty miles an hour is about right for Jack.
 Jeffries, with his wife, is going to Bad Nauheim. He looked fit as a soldier, but said he won't come back into the ring. His former partner. J. c. Ripper of Los. Angeles, whom effries has bought out in the cafe business, was aboard, with Mrs. Kip per. Ripper is going into ranching and gardening.

WHEN HANS LOBART BROKE INTO LEAGUE.
,Phillies Star Infielder Was
 Canned From First Job

Hans Dobert, the Phillies star, zhas many interesting stories of his base ball experience to tell. The one that Lobert tells of his own troubles, when he first started to play professional baseball, is about the best that has been related this year.
 Des Moines thought that Lobert might be able to make good as a Western League inflelder, so, a few seasons ago they sent for him at his home in Pittsburg to come on for trial. Lobert went, and in less than a week the Des Moines manager told him to ''beat il"
 'I didn't have much change in my pocket" says Lobert, "soN1 decided to get back to Pittsburg the best way l could. I started to walk and caught a few rides on the bumpers of some freight trains. landed in St. Louis after having walked about ninety miles of the distance between Des Moines and Missouri.
 ."Pittsburg was opening the season in St. Louis, and as I knew some of the Pirates I went around to their ho- tel Barney Dreyfuss took compas- sion on me, knowing that I was a Pittsburg chap and gave me enough money to get honHe."
 Later in the season Mike Finn, of Little Rock, sent for Lobert, and from the start Hans maOe SOOQ. III the IdIl he was sold to Dayton, Ohio, but he did not like the transfer and refused to report to Dayton. Instead he went with the Johnstown Tri-State team, then in an outlaw league. Lobert was discovered by a Cincinnati scout, and the following year his release was pur- chased from Little Rock and the Ma tional Commission reinstated him to good standing.
 In his early experiences with Cincin- natl Lobert received an injury to one of his legs and was compelled to re- main idle for some time. During his convalescing days he was sent on scouting trip for the Reds. One of the players who took his eye was George Chalmers, at present mem Der of the Phillies pitching staff, but then a player in the New York State League. Griffith did not secure Chalmers.

How .Rube Waddell Was Outwitted by Connie Mack Philadelphia Manager Hired Rooter to Insult Eccen-
 tric Finger

MT. George Edward Waddell, stra. tegist. Only the apparent deep-lai6 plot and strategy didn't work, an6 | neither did George Edward for the whole of a second game against To. 1edo last week.
 When he wants to cut it loose Mir | George Edward Waddell has enough smoke to get the civic cleaning so- ciety on his trail. He can whif them over that plate in a style that makes the catcher. wish he had been
 born a left fielder instead of the hero
 under the gun. But Rube don't think a lot of lspeed. He believes he is 8 scientist, and does not need to exert his great speed. He prefers to de-
 pend upon the slow ball. Rube rea- sons that everyone knows he is speedy and will be set for speed and that he can best triumph by crossing them and using two deliveries-slow, and slower yet.
 This slow ball habit of Rube is an
 old one, and it is the first time that he sprung it here. Connie Mack had to battle with the slow ball habit, but finally triumphed and in an odd way This, so the story goes, was in the
 could whiz the ball over the plate at a speed of 337 miles an hour. Rube
 had as much speed as the great Rusie.
 He was moving them down in bunch es of three.
 One day Rube sat on the bench and
 watched a slow ball pitcher working. This fellow had the knack of slow de-
 livery down to a fine point and was having about as good success with the deliberate delivery as Rube was hav- ing with the speed. Rube sat down in the grass alongside the bench and
 reasoned that if the fellow who was pitching against him could get away e,ln In1i 1a would use it and thereby save all of the strength and strain necessary to
 hurl the dynamite bombs he was us-
 ing. So he acted on the hunch.
 He went back into the box and the
 sudden change of pace was disconcert-
 nings they whiffed at the slow losses and Rube was in high glee. He had discovered that it was just as easy with the slow ball as with the fast.
 Mack was getting fidgety and implor- ed Rube to mix up a little speed now and then. Rube knew better. Re- suits were proving his theory. The batters began to swing in harmony
 with the pace and hits started to ac- cumulate. Mack was frantic and Rube was obdurate. Finally Mack went out to the bleachers and gave a fog -horn-voiced vegetable peddler a dollar to start yelling Poor Old Rube ary whip is gone! He can't throw lem like he uster, Poor Rube, He's lost his speed!" and kindred insults along the same line.
 Rube, they say. heard the taunts and walked down along the fence un- til he spotted his traducer and glover ed at him. He stood it while long CT and then retOrted: Gone, hey Watchme" Then he went back in the box and started putting them through with the speed of a catapult. Every time he struck out a player he turn ed to the bleacher and bawled. "Gone hey?"

B0SSE PUT OUT
 IN FIFTH BY DYSON.
Local Fight Fans See Bridgeport
 Boxer Beaten

Waterbury, May 5.-Featured by one of the most spectacular knock outs ever seen in a local fight the Dyson-Bosse bout was called to a stop in the fifth round here last night in the boxing exhibition presented by the Broadway Athletic club. Dyson left the ring a winner while Bosse, the Bridgeport boy, was half carried to his corner. The star bout of the evening between Al Delmont of Boston and Tommy Houck of Phila- delphia resulted in 8 draw, according to the popular decision. Both boys were pretty we'll tired when the twelfth round of the main event closed the contest. Jack Denning easily outpointed Jimmy Moriarity in six rounds, and was given the de- cision.
 Young Dyson who met Young Bos- SC of Bridgeport defeated his man five rounds before the scheduled number of rounds had been pulled off.

YALE TACKLE WEDS
 PRETTY MISSDUTTON
Ted Lilley Takes Bride While
 on Cuban Tour

The marriage of Theodore Lilley, son of the late Governor Lilley uf Connecticut, and tackle on the Yale football team a couple of years ago, on March 22, in Havana, Cuba, to Miss Evelyn Dutton, the daughter of A. H. Dutton, pharmacist, of Grace hospital, Boston, has been announced in Boston by Mr. Dutton.
 The Wedding was the result of a romance which began, it is said, with the football prowess of MT. Lilley, then a famous Yale tackle, in the Harvard-Yale game of 1909.
 The couple were engaged for some time and were both visiting in Cuba, where they met and were married in the office of the American consul general. They are spending the honeymoon in Porto Rico aNd Cuba. Mr. Dutton stated that although rela- tives and friends were aware of the marriage it was not planned to an- nounce the wedding until the couple returned.

WASHINGTON TEAM
 NEEDS OUTFIELDERS
Manager McAIeer Says His CIut
 Can't Get Runs

No one realizes the Washington teams weakness moro keenly thar does Jim McAleer. He knows that he lacks an outhelder, and there is no secret about 1t. With one or twa men of even ordinary ability, players who can hit about 300 and make an occasional long sacrifice fly, ths Washington team would be well enough fortified to cut . figure in the race.
 As 1t is, the team,s showing depends almost entirely upon its pitchers. If the twirlers can hold the other fel- lows down to run or two the team has a chance to win. But let tha pitchers be hit only ordinary hard and the Nationals are out of it, for it is not a team which can score a lot of runs.
 Two of McAleer's pitchers hays shown good form, Groom and Hughes. and this pair should be worked as often as possible until the others round into form. Of course. it would not do to work them too much. for they would be sure to give way un- der the strain, but at this season of the year, when the weather frequent ly interferes with the game, ball play CTS really get more rest than is good for them.

GAME HERE MONDAY
 PROTESTED BY HELLER
Springfield Manager Objects to Umpire Hating Contest
 For Rain

Well, Happy Jack Teller is on the rampage again. The Springfield man. ager has filed notice with President Tracy of the Connecticut League that he will protest the game at Newfield last Monday. Just what grounds Teller has for a protest it is hard to imagine. It is stated that he objects because Umpire Briceiin called the contest on account of rain in the seventh inning, and then allowed the teams to resume play.
 The umpire was away off color, mo- body denies that, but he handed ii to Bridgeport worse than to the Pon- ies The umpire's action in calling a suspension of play had no effect or the score. Bridgeport had scored three runs and there were two out when Bricelin held up the game tenn porarily, but the runs would have counted anyway. so it is difficult to see where zeller has any kick com ing.

McCann men played errorless ball and their work impressed the local fans. who declare Bridgeport is the strongest team that has visited here.
 The playing was fast at all stages. Bill Yale stabbed a line drive OH E1ey's bat, the like of which is as scarce as the proverbial hens teeth. Hey caught the first ball pitched Tn the third inning and sent 1t buz1lng between first and second. Big Bill bAfence. He was loudly applauded. Then in the fifth, Yale made a double play unassisted
 Hall was given a free pass to the first landing. when Russell hit a line drive near Yale. He reached out, spearing it with his gloved hand and stepped on first for a two-man killer.
 Big Sager, who worked in New Ha- ven Sunday and was taken out of the box in Holyoke Tuesday, toed the slab for the Larks, and now his name will not be scratched off the payroll for while yet. The light-haired boy was ~>inelined to be wild at the start. but grewi stronger as the game progress ed. He yielded but three bingles. two singles and a double. Two of these were made in the opening stanza and the other in the seventh.
 That first inning was the best chance the Mechanics had. E1ey banged out a half-circuit clout as a starter. Litschi laid down a. bunt and was thrown out at first. Capt. Crooks hit hard grounder to Gus 1t home. The throw was low, but ~Flaherty, who caught a beautiful game. was there and put it on to Hey.

It remained for Flaherty to be the hero. and he responded with a sharp single between first and second. Steamer Flanagan was over the white rubber. and the single tally was as big as carload. Sager and Foran did the whiff act
