Baker Comes from Behind
and Beats Chick Murray

Leo Baker, the Passaic whirlwind.
and Chick Murray, of New York,
fought four round in the squared ring
at Troxler's Central Institute last
night before a goodly crowd of spec
tators, and at the n Bake had a
margin that could not be disputed.
Murray was not outpointed in the box
ing sense of the word, but he was
whipped, convincingly II d~ecisively.
The Passaic county boy, after his rival
had the better of the first two rounds,
battled like q demon in the final ses-
sions, when he landed on Murray UNI
mercifully. Both handed out some
strong punches In the opening round,
but Murray was the aggressor.
The second session was a repetition,
with the New Yorker again on top. In
the third Baker turned into a mad
man. He rushed from his corner and
started to whang them in with the
fury Of a lad who knows he must make
a Sensational squirt to have a showing.
And he had Murray logging 1t a bit
and hanging on. Once the Big City
boy went to the mat. but managed to
recover in time to be saved from a
sleeper. His gameness was the chief
responsibility in his lasting the round
out. Leo's snappy right and left swings
kept the Murray puncher fitting again
in the final round. 1t was seen that
the third inning was Just about too
much for Chick, and there was hardly
any fighting left in h Manhattan lad.

The sensational finish of Passaic's
pride brought his admirers to their
feet, and he was given a neat reception
at the conclusion of the go.
In the secon star event Tommy An
breach. the midget, of this city, bested
Battling Kitty. of New York, in four
rounds of spirited fighting. Sir Thomas
had his opponent in a dazed condition
throughout the second and third
rounds, which earned him the verdict
by a margin. Kitty's willingness to
mix 1t was apparent, and his work In
the first and final sessions nearly made
the decision a draw. These lads met
on several previous occasions.
Jake Magin, of Newark, tried to
make It a knockout, but failed. in his
match with Danny Boyle. of Bayonne.
The last round saw Jake go after his
opponent like q demon, and he had
Boyle all but out. The Bayonneite's
knowledge of the ring, however, kept
him up.
Dick Callahan and Ben Perry met
in four 1ercely-contested rounds, with
honors in the latter's favor. Young
Murphy had the better OF Young
Happy, the bell saving the latter from
a knockout in the second round.
Young Gibbons and Kid Burke mixed
It evenly for a quartet of three-minute
sessions. Young Wanting made Eddie
Kackson take to the dressing-room In
two rounds, while Emil Miller was
easily beaten by Bert Stevens.

Have Eighteen Of Former and
Twelve of Latter-Open=
ing Day April Is.
BARROW INITIATES FINE SCHEME
OF LEAVING MOST OF THE
OPEN DATES UNTIL THE
FALL OF YEAR.

In constructing the 1912 schedule for
the International League President
Edward G.. Barrow and his cohorts
made a radical departure, and one that
should benefit the league clubs all the
way around. Heretofore it has been
the custom of the datemakers to leave
several vacant dates in the spring, not
for any particular reason. Somehow
or other the open dates were always
the most ideal, the weather man serv-
ing up a brand of balmy weather that
made the magnates gnash their teeth.
The days We're thus lost, and later,
when postponements began to accumu-
late, double-headers were necessary all
along the line, sometimes two and
three times a week.
In the new schedule wherever pos
sible the open dates have been left
until August and September, allowing
the teams to play one game a day,
instead of two, in many cases, and
saving a team from cracking under the
strain. There are many bugs who in
slst that the 1905 American League
banner would nave gone to the New
York Americans had II not beer for
the terrific strain they we're compelled
to undergo in order to catch up on
their schedule, due to postponements.
In one week they played foul double
headers, and won every one of the
eight games, but a fortnight later,
when they hit Detroit, after travelling
at a heart breaking pace, the Yanks
exploded.
Season Opens Earlier.
The season opens this year earlier
than usual, Thursday, April IS, being
the day for the big blow-off. Sunday,
September %, marks the wind-up of
the season. 1t is customary for the
league season to start on the third
Thursday in April. Next year, there
fore. the season will open one day
earlier than this season, April II, and
after that It will skip back a whole
week again.
Newark Owners Satisfied.
Both Joe McGinnity and George
Solomon believe that it is the best
schedule that o Newark team ever got
In the way of plums. The Bengals
have the Buffalo Bisons for their OPP
ponents on the opening day, I'M the
biSOHS are d. Bood uldW'i6 Sdiu here

After a four-game series the Herd is
by Toronto for four games
Montreal for four and Jersey City for
two. contests. These two games were
switched in order TO allow Newark and
Jersey City fans to get a line on their
teams earlier than Memorial Day.
Rochester follows Jersey City, and on
May 6 the opening takes place in the
upper end of the circuit.
Newark opens at Buffalo and then
swings around the circuit. At no time

L w MISTAK E
COMPELS HIM
TO QUIT

Billy Lewis, of Newark, was com
his bout with Young eastman at the
Fordon A. c., In New York, last night,
when he accidentally drank Of the
smelling salts and was compelled to
retire in great pain. eastman had
shaded Lewis all the way, and Billy,
in his excitement between the sixth
and seventh rounds, swallowed the
salts. He tried to start the seventh
round, but was unable to go on with
the bout and his seconds threw UP
the sponge.

Princeton 5
Baseball
Hopes
Prospects Not of the Brightest
on the First Practise
Day of 1912.

PRINCETON, Feb. 27.-The 1919
baseball season was ushered in at
Princeton yesterday afternoon. when
fifty candidates reported for the first
practise to Coach Clark and Captain
Sterrett.
The practise took place in the cage.
where work will be held daily until
weather permits outdosr playing. The
prospects for another baseball cham
pionship this rear r not of the
brightest, but If a good pitching staff
can be developed a successful season
should result. Sam White, last years
captain, is still eligible, and can take
good care of anyone of the infield POSI-
tons he may be called upon to fill,
having already played third base,
shortstop and first base for the varsity
nine at different times during hin
career.
Captain Sterrett is another ALI
around player. who. is equally good be-
hind the bat, at first base or In the
outfleld. Pendleton, who was kept from
playing most of last season because Of
a broken leg. should be q tar this sea
son, while Carter, Wo~rthington. Green
baum and Parker are others who
played more or less regularly on the
varsity last season.
A large number of l. Ut years fresh
men team reported for the practise
yesterday. as we'll as several new upper
class men, and both Coach Clark anS
Sterrett hope to~asvefop~e-csedlsa6le
nine by the first game, whioh starts
the latter part of March.
Tit weakest department at present
seems to be in the lack OF good pitch
ers, but Lear and Woods, of last years
freshman team, may Develop, and
Greenbaum showed that he was a
twirIer of more than average oalihre.

Kelly Will
Not b G
Sold
McGinnity Makes This Declara-
tion-Jack Hasn't Signed.
Denial of Big Cut.

Joe McGinnity has decided that he
will neither sell nor trade Jack Kelly.
The Iron Man" and his partner,
George L. Solomon, it is understood
had a confab with Kelly at Kelly's
place of business, and, while Kelly did
not sign his contract, and evidently
does not intend to at the present terms,
there is no danger of Kelly being
traded, according to present indica-
tons.
The local fans were greatly interested
in the possibility of Kelly's being sold
to Milwaukee, and were opposed to
any such deal. as Kelly is n of the
most popular players who ever wore a
Newark uniform.
I'VE have decided that Kelly will
play in Newark" said the Iron Man.
The report that he was cut SIS a
month is not true. We did find it
necessary to reduce his salary, which
was s40o a month last year, but not to
the extent of SIS a month"

CLEVELAND TO HAVE
TWO RING AFFAIRS
TONIGHT


CLEVELAND, o., Feb. 27.-Fwo i'm
portant sporting events are scheduled
for Cleveland tonight, one a finish bout
for the middleweight wrestling cham
pionship and the other a ten-round
fight between clever bantams. Harry
Gehring, of Cleveland, and Mike Yokel,
of Salt Lake City, are to wrestle for
the belt and a purse of $1,000. A de-
cision must be rendered if they wrestle
three hours without a fall, and three

In Salt Lake City some months ago
the men wrestled nearly four hours
without a fall.
Johnny Sinclair, of Cleveland, and
Patsy Brannigan, of Pittsburg, are
the bantams who are to fight.

Weather, bat Giants Don't

MARLIN SPRINGS, Feb. 27.-The
Giants are not finding the weather so
propitious this season as in the past.
A cold north wind made 1t necessary
for the recruits to huddle up in the
shelter or the grand stand for their
workout most of the time yesterday.
When the wind died down a bit Nc
Graw got two teams into action, and
there was an impromptu game, in
which Arthur Bues, the fence-breaker,
rang up c homer with a clean clout
over tho left field fence.
