Special Dispatch to The Star

of the fastest games ever played on the
Ayola College gymnasium foort the
Loyola College five defeated the Gal
laudet quintet of Washington tonight by
the scant margin of points-11 to 9.
The game was fast one all through,
both teams being good in team work.
There was rough playing aplenty, but
the fouls in the game were few.
In the first half, Cook, the big right
guard of Loyola, tried to shoot a goal
from the middle of the floor, but was
unsuccessful.
The first goal of the game was scored
by Joyce of the locals. from the foul
line. Shortly after this. Arras, the plucky
right forward for the Mutes, shot diff

little rough in the beginning of the sec

stood . to in favor of Gallaudet.

SAM CRAWFORD,
 DETROIT OUTFIELDER,
 WILL BE S2 TOMORROW.

Samuel Crawford, the hard-hittlng outfieIder of the Detroit Tigers, will receive the congratulations of his col leagues tomorrow on the occasion of the thirty-second anniversary of his arrival in this value of tears. In the list of the mighty men with the bat Crawford is up among the leaders, his average for 1911 having been the juicy one of .378. Among the big league swatters who took part in a hundred games or more last year, Crawford ranked third, being surpas- Ty Cobb, and Mister Jackson of Cleveland. And now comes a deep, dark secret, one which Sam has
 sought to keep locked in his buzzunl. He was born in Wahoo. It you are
 unaware of the existence of that
 municipality, you might find it on a
 may of Nebraska, and again you
 might not. In any event, the big
 six-foot outfelder was born in that
 village on August 20. 1880. He
 commenced his professional baseball
 career fourteen years ago in Canada,
 on the Chatham team of the Cana
 dian League. He hung up g batting
 average of .370 that year: and 1899
 found him playing for Columbus, O.,
 in the Western League, and later for
 Grand Rapids in the same circuit.
 He made his big league bow in Cin-
 c1nnat1 dozen years ago, which en-
 titles him to rank among the old
 timers of the game. He remained with the Cincinnati National leaguers
 three years, his batting average for the last two years being 1884 and. 1888 In 1903 Crawford jumped the Ohio team and the National League and joined his fortunes with the Ameri- can League. He has played with Detroit ever since. this being his tenth year with the Tigers. With the exception of brief experience on first base in 1905 and 1906, he has al- ways played outf1eld positions His batting average of .373, made last year, was by far the best he has ever hung up since he became big league star. The man from Wahoo bats and throws left-handed. He stands half an inch over six feet in his hosiery, and when in condition he tips the scales at about 195 pounds, Adam. Detroit is fortunate in hay ing two such mighty sluggers as Cobb and Crawford, and their ability with the bat has had much to do with the pennants captured by Detroit ill 1907,
 1908 and 1909, and the subseauent excellent standing of the team.

West Haven Court Crowded With Players
 and Fans Today

Flick hit to center field in the fifth and tried to make second when Shy 1 der stumbled. Stow was waiting fol Flick with the ball and when the run ner slid over the bag. Stow touched him.
 The umpire ruled the runner safe You pushed him off the bag" he said to Stow. You're a liar." retorted the player. Then Mulianey lost his head and swung at Stow. Bobby was not hurt but Jack Spraft, who rushed over to act as peacemaker, took a hay maker under the eye and went down for the count. He said afterward that he didn't remember what happened
 He saw twink1ing lights, heard sweet music and then he was rudely awak- ened when some of the Bridgeport players dragged him up from the ground.
 The fans surged on the field and somebody tried to get at the umpire but the players and police protected him. The game proceeded with Stow on. the bench and the umpire still in was arrested for assault upon charges preferred by Stow and Spratt. He was taken to the West Haven station but was released upon $500 bonds fur nished by Owner Cameron of the New Haven club. Mullaney also declared he would make charges against Stow and Spratt. An officer was in town looking for the players yesterday but Secretary Reddy of the Mechanics this morning.
 The fact that Mullaney towers above Stow and has about 100 pounds on the player, makes it appear improbable that Stow first struck the umpire, as Mullaney alleges.

 PAPKE-BURKE BATTLE

Four years ago last night,on Aug. Is, 1908, one of the .swaggereSt crowds that ever assem- bled to see a pug1- listic encounter was gathered In the National Athletic Club in New York. Billy Papke, the Illinois Tunderbolt," was to make his first appearance in the American metropolis, against Sailor Burke, the classy Brooklyn middleweight. The men had been matched to fight on July 27, but the set for Aug. Is. Except for the ab
 sence of the fair sex, it might have been a ball or a fashionable wedding instead of a fight, if one judged by the sartorial appearance of the audi ence. Silk toppers and evening clothes were much in evidence, and hundreds of the guests" arrived in automobiles and carriages. Actors, lawyers, politicians, merchants, mil lionaires and doctors were present in large numbers to see the Illinois boy in action against Billy Madden's pro- tege, the Brooklyn sailor. A few months before Papke had been de- feated by Stanley Ketchel, but the '"Thunderbolt'' and the Michigan As- sassin' were to fight again in Cali fornia in September. unless Burke was the victor in the New York bat tie. Burke was outclassed from the first, and in the initial round went down for the count of nine, and was barely able to regain his feet before being counted out. In the second round the Sailor was twice Knocked down, and adopted the clinching and holding on tactics that he adhered to through the remainder of the bout. Burke got over one good smash in
 the third round, but the rest of the time contented himself with clinching and running away. The sixth and last round was more of a fOotrace than a fight. Burke playing hare to Billy's hound. While Papke was ,n- able to put the Sailor away, owing to

 In the West Haven court this morn ing Bob Stow of the Mechanics was fined SEQ for his share in the riot al Savin Rock last Saturday when Umr pire Mullaney was the center of a mixup. Spratt and Stow had prefer red charges of assault against MuI- laney and the umpire was arrested after the game. Judge Bryant this morning acquitted the umpire and also acquitted Spratt. who had been complaint. The result of the affair was a surprise to local fans who thought the umpire and not Stow would be fined.
 Russell, Sexton, spratt and Snyder of the Bridgeport club testified In favor of Stow. They claimed the un1., pire was the aggressor, Several New Haven players and a number of New Haven fans were. witnesses for the umpire. They swore the umpire did not strike Stow but merely pushed him as the player advanced with clenched fists. The witnesses main tained that Mullaney was backing away from the scene when Spratt and Stow rushed at him.
 President O'Rourke of the Connec- ticut league attended the trial thif morning. He stated afteFWard that he would impose no fine upon Mu1- laney. Stow was fined $5 for being put out of the game and President might later inflict further punishment upon the player.
