DYNAMITING CREW
AGAIN IN THE FIELD
American Bridge Destroyers
Cross to Mexico to
Cut Communication.

Capt. Oscar Creighton's dynamiting
crew has been reorganized in FL
Paso and is now in the field
below Juarez. The purpose Of the dyna-
hitting gang, which is operating under
orders from the Mexican federal gov
eminent it is said, is to dynamite the
big e1ght-mile below Juarez and deS-
troy smaller bridges along the line be-
tween Juarez and Samalayuca so that
no more troop or supply trains may be
run between Juarez and Chihuahua
The dynamitng crew, which was or
gained in Ell PasO, it is said, crossed
above the smelter on the New Mexico
side of the line Tuesday night and
TOOK win II quantity or dynamite,
caps and fuse for exploding it. The
men in charge of the dangerous work
are Americans and according to tips,
are under command of Charpentier, the
federal artilleryman, who was with
Villa at Parral. He is said to have
three other Americans, all crack shots
with him and they have been instruct
ed to put the line out of business so
that no more trains may be operated
over il by the rebels from the Juarez
garrison.
This same dynamiting crew took the
field several days ago for the purpose
of destroying the bridges along the
Central, but while the men were asleep,
the dynamite which they carried was
washed away by the heavy rains and
they were forced to return to the Dor
der TO procure more explosives for
the destruction of the bridges Be
fore returning, the men had a brush
with rebel company near Samalayuca.
The dynamiters appeared at a ranch
house after being told that there were
no rebels in the immediate vicinity.
When the men appeared at the ranch
house door. a rebel sentry challenged
the American, who Immediately opened
fire upon the sentry, according to the
report brought back by them. The
four then escaped on horseback and
succeeded in reaching the international
line, where they crossed and came to
FL Paso for more supplies of explo-
siVes.

Mike Gibbons To
 Fight Sid Burns
St. Paul Whirlwind Matched With English Champion For
 Madison Square Garden

The officials of the Garden Athletic Club yesterday matched Mike GSb- bons and Sid Burns of England to meet in ten-round bout at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday, May 21. The men will weigh in at 148 pounds at o'clock on the day of the con- test
 This bout-so the contestants claim will be for the championship of the world, but inasmuch as the welter- weight limit is 142 pounds. the claim may not be taken seriously. Burns Is the welterweight champion of Eng land. That Burns is an exceptionally good fighter is admitted on all sides. He is credited with fifteen-round draw with Georges Carpenter, the mid dleweight champion of France and England. Burns also defeated Ray Bronson in nineteen rounds in Eng land
 George Mcdonald, who looks after the interests of Matt Wells and Burns, said last night that if Gibbons does not put up a better fight than he did against Jeff Smith the St. Paul boxer will stand a chance of being dropped for the count.
 The Garden Athletic Club has also signed Eddie McGoorty. the Oshkosh middleweight, to meet the winner of the Gibbons-Burns affair McGoorty and his opponent will be staged two weeks after the first match.

KID GLEASON PUT HUGH
 JENNINGS ON THE BENCH

Manager Jennings, Of the Tigers, and Ed Walsh of the White Sox, might have come to blows at Detroit had not Manager Callahan of Chicago and Kid Gleason been on hand with some smart repartee that caused the De- troit leader to hush. Evidently peev ed because of the showing his team had been making, Jennings began hurling words at Walsh soon after the game began. He became so per sonal with it that Big Ed came back at him, and the two were about to roll up their sleeves and settle iS right there. Jennings idea was to get Walsh up in the air. It was the first time the auburn-haired leader had used such methods on the White Sox Finally Callahan came in and told Hughey lot of stuff at close range, things that no one in the stands could hear. Then Kid Gleason pourS ed this right into Jennings ear:
 When you were at Cornell Uni- versity you dived into an empty swim ming tank, as everybody knows. Last winter you dived out of an automo- bile into a pile of rocks. That's twice you've tried to commit suicide, and your head was too thick each time." From then on Hughey was silent.

Plenty Of Beef
 In YaIe's Eight
Ellis Will Have Heaviest Grew
 in Years in New London

When the Harvard and Yale crews clash on the Thames the latter part of next month, Yale will be made up of one of the heaviest crews that ever represented the university.
 Following several shakeups, Coach Jim Rodgers has formidable eight, and their average weight is 17d pounds Although little has been heard from Harvard it is doubtful whether their crew is as heavy as the Eli oarsmen.
 Notwithstanding the existing wealth CT conditions the men are out daily for practice In spite of the pessimis- tic forebodings of some of Yale's row. ing graduates, the work of producing a crew seems to be going along in 8 creditable manner.
 The Blue is making great venture in intrusting the destinies of it's varsity eight to graduate instruction but great confidence is placed in Coach Jim Rodgers. There is one consolation for the present regime. Whatever happens to the crew of the present season, 1t does not seem pos sible that it can be more crushingly defeated by Harvard than was the case in the four-mile race at New London last year. It is not as though the professional system had gone out in a blaze of glory, so that it would be hard for the graduate directors to stand comparison with it. Whatever happens it seems certain that the blue will make better showing than in 1911

Most Accurate Sporting News
linn Stewart Is
 Minner Over. Smith
But Shows Lack of Fighting Spirit Although Greatly Out weighing His Man

Gunboat Smith of California sailed through stormy seas at the National Sporting Club, New York, last night. the end of his ten-round bout with Jim Stewart of Brooklyn. Outweigh ed by thirty-four pounds-Stewart weighed in at the ringside at 210A while Smith tipped the beam at IFS 4 the Californian put up game bat tie, and though beaten from pillar to post, won many friends by his dis play of grit and gameness. Though Stewart barely failed to put Smith away. the Californian showed up the Brooklynite and many left the build ing with the opinion that it is a joke to consider Stewart as a heavyweight championship possibility.
 Stewart had all but one essential in his favor, yet he failed to put his much lighter and less experienced op- ponent away. Jim had weight, reach, and ring generalship to his advantage over Smith Against those essentials Smith pitted the one ring requisite that Stewart lacked. Fighting initia- tive was what Smith had and what Stewart hadn't If Stewart had half as much scrap" in his makeup as was shown by the Californian, the Brooklynite would go far in fistana. Stewart. however. failed to stand up under the gaff, and had Smith been the equal of the Brooklynite in weight he would have put Stewart away in jig time. o~,p
 Stewart shot in punches from all angles, but the Californian walked right in under them and forced him to back up. Several times Smith lash ed out with wild rights, catching Stewart on body or head. When hit hard Stewart invariable clinched or hacked up. Only when he had his lighter opponent in distress did Stew art show a tendency to do any, real lighting. He had Smith on the slide several times. but always the Cali fornian rallied and carried back the battle % hard that Stewart ran to cover. In the last, few rounds it seemed as If Gunboat certainly would be- sunk. Stewart shot in a. rain of blows. but failed to unbeit a punch that knocked the Californian off his feet .3s

Hey started with single And Crook, he did the same, Then up comes Dory Miller To make a bid for fame: He walks to the plate like a hero Amid a deafening shout, Two strikes, a. ball and terrible
 swing And Dusty has struck out. After the game was over And the crowd was on it's way, It was funny to hear the stories Of the plays that were made that
 day; As a we'll known fan said later, "IH bet a five dollar hat, That Miller wouldn't have hit that ball If he had a shovel in place of a bat.''

Worry Sent Hal
 Chase To Hospital
New York American First Base. man Distracted by Teams
 MiSfOrtuneS

Professional ball playing" said a physician, who is we'll known in New York, 'has become a business which drags great deal more out of a mans mental force than it did thirty years ago. s,I don't know that the Americans take their baseball any more seriously now than they did then. Perhaps they do not take it so seriously in many localities, for I can we'll remember when there was noth- ing short of a riot between clubs of were accustomed to meet in the past on. the ball field.
 "The publicity which is given to the game is twenty times more than it was in the past. That is one reason why there is so much wear and tear them are making a great effort to do their best, and when they fail to achieve all that they would like to achieve they become fretful and ner- vous because of comment not only by the critics of the game but from the spectators and from fellow play CTS.
 CT of the type of Chase induces in himself a fretful condition which makes it impossible for him to do his best if the game in general is not developing in his favor or in favor of the team with which he is connected He is constituted great deal like a thoroughbred racing horse There is no animal which will chafe more in ambition to succeed than good racer and there are some ball players who become similarly fretfu1 and irritable under the natural urging which they establish for themselves.
 "Chase may not be ready to play for a week and it may take even longer than that before he is in con- dition. He got bad start in the South. think that none of the High flanders made any headway on the spring trip this year. It was unfor- tunate, of course, and something which could not have been avoided, and it has cost the management sorely. I don't believe that there will. be many baseball clubs which will try to train at Atlanta in the future. The city is the most backward of any in the South in the spring season, and the altitude is too high to expect to oo- tain any results for baseball players
 Chase is but one of the Highlanders who has been unable to do his best because of injuries or illness. And he is but one of a long roll of injured players which is far greater than at any time in the history of the national game.
