Mcfarland Beats
 Kid Burns HandiIy
But Chicago Boxer Has to Ex' tend Him elf to Trim New
 York Boy

Packey Mcfarland of Chicago had a hard time defeating Kid Burnes in New York last night when they met in a ten round bout at the Fairmont A. c. of the Bronx Mcfarland won by a safe margin, but to earn the laurels he had to fight harder than in any other battle ever fought by him. Burns proved a tough proposi- tion for the Stock Yards champion. boring in at all times and taking many hard wallops from his adver- sary in an effort to connect with the telling blow.
 clever style, but, seeing that his op- ponent was always willing to carry the fight to him, the Chicagoan cut loose and tried hard to send his op- ponent into dreamland. The work of Packey in the fray showed that he was not making good use of his one time punching ability. He had many chances to connect with the haymak- CT, but lacked the necessary wallop.
 At times Mcfarland sent his right crashing half dozen times in suc' cession against Burns jaw, but the blows did not have steam enough to down the New York boxer. After the second round Mcfarland realized that he was up against hard proposition, and used every blow in his repertory to end the battle Burns took the punches without w'ucing, thereby proving to Packey that ne was willing to give and take at all times.
 In the fourth session Burns swung his right to McFarland's left eye, swelling and cutting that organ, and causing the claret to flow through the rest of the bout. He played an attack for the injured optic in the following sessions, and had Packey worried. In the ninth session Burns cut loose with a series of swings and carrying the battle to the Westerner. caused Pac- key to reel. A right to Mcfarland left eye closed that organ.
 A large crowd saw the battle. the spacious arena of the club being pack ed to its capacity. Mcfarland, as us- uaI proved a good drawing card, fight ness travelling to The Bronx club to see the Chicagoan in action. Through out the bout Mcfarland used ques- tionable tactics to overcome his op- nonent the Westerner heeling and putting Burns whenever they came to- gether.

Giants Get Frank NohOWeI, Former Star
 Of Columbia Team
YOungSter Who Played Along side of Eddie Collins Will Go South With Nc
 G-aW'S Men

Joe O'Brien, secretary of the Giants announced yesterday that Frank P. Nohowel, one of the greatest base ball players ever turned out by CoIum bta University, had signed his name Ju one of John T. Brush's contracts, and would be taken to Marlin with Me Graws other f1edglings. NohOweI ia third baseman, a former side part ner of Eddie Collins, the star second Sacker of Connie Mack's worl d s champs, and a former prominent dia- mona and gr1d1ron warrior at COlum- bia-
 NohoweI played alongside of Eddi6, who was a shortstop at Columbia in the seasons of 1905 and 1906, and, next to Collins, he was the star of the team. Nohowel finished his baseball career at Columbia in 1907, the year Collins was declared ineligible, when it was found that he had played with the Athletics under the name oI Sulli- van. McGraws latest recruit is a graduate of the Colum bia Law School and is now practicing law. Since his college days he has been playing ball with various amateur teams on Long Island. Secretary O'Brien said that McGraw has been after Nohowel to join his forces for some time, but the young colIegian told John J. he pre- ferred to stick to the law business. 1t achieved by Eddie Collins induced Nohowel to try his luck with a major league outfit.
 Nohowel is big, husky chap,
 
 whip and a keen batting eye. THey say that when he whips the sphere across the diamond it travels faster than Walter JOhnsOn's famous speed ball. He is a sturdy batsman-at least he was in amateur and collegiate circles-and when he connects solidIy he rides the pellet a mile.
 The Giants yesterday purchased Pitcher George T. Pierce from the Augusta club of the South Atlantic League. According to Secretary O'Brien, Pierce is a gigantic south paw, and is recomm ended by Mickey Finn, one of the Giants scouts, who will manage Mobile next season. Pierce seems to be pretty good ex- ample of the old saying that "a roll ing stone gathers no moss,' if his showing last season may be taken as an example of his ability. He began the season as the property of the Bo7tOn Red Sox and took part in the ill-fated training trip to the Pacific coast. Soon after the SoX returne ed to their native heath Pierce was ship ped to Buffalo, and from Buffalo he wandered to Providence. Providence. it seems, let him go to Augusta Pierce's showing in the International League last season was nothing to rave about He won two games and lost thirteen, his pitching average be- ing .133, the lowest in the league among regular pitchers.

BASEBALL PLAYERS ONLY
 STICK FOR SHORT TIME

Few of the fans have ever realized how fast the players wear out in he big leagues. They come in by the dozen and go out just as rapidly. The number of players that dropped out of, the National and American Leagues in three years is astonishing. During 1909 there were 158 performers in the National League who took part in fifteen games or more. Of the 15S, only IS, less than one-half, are now in the National circuit. Of these 62 are with the clubs they went with in 1'09, and Is have gone to other teams. None of them has gone to the. Ameri- can League. No less than sixty-one D ayers of the 1909 'crop have gone back to the minors.
 In the American League, meanwhile, there were 173 players who figured in 15 or more games. Of these only 73, little over 40 per cent, are still in Ban Johnson's league. Eight have been taken up by National League outfits, and no less than 73 have fallen to the minors. Sixty-three are sill the property of the same teams as in 1909. Out of 331 men who figured in the fast company in 1909, on'y 159 S i'll draw the fat salaries. Only three are dead, showing a great condition of health among so many. Only 12 have given up the game and gone into other professions. Only one is an um- pire. One hundred and thirty-four are getting along the best way they can in smaller leagues. All this in three seasons. Baseball is an uncertain pro- fession after all.

First BaSemen To
 Burn Next Season
Nearly Every Club in Big Leagues
 Has Capable First Stacker

Just about one year ago, when the big league teams were making prep arations for their Southern training trips, from all parts of the American League circuit there came a wall be- moaning the lack of quality among the first basemen. There was but parable Chase, that went South in- tent on the man who would cover the initial sack and kept him there till the end of the season.
 Now there is only one club in the league which has not some definite plan about first base. Unless their plans miscarry, they will be we'll sat isf1ed with the men now on the pro gram.
 Perhaps the two which will be most watched and on whom the most de- pends are Del Gainer, Of the Tigers, and little 'tstnfry'' McInnis, of the world s champions.
 Neither of these players was a big league regular last spring. Gainer had to fight it out for his job with the Tigers, and the season was well advanced before the players had con 2idence in him Then Jack Coombs broke Gamers wrist and he was un- able to get back in the game till the season was in it's final stages.
 McInnis was only an Understudy of the veteran Harry Davis last spring, but when it came to jumping into the retire he did it and braced the cham pions so that they were able to win out in the league race.
 Then he, like Gainer, was victim of a broken wrist, and was kept out of the worlds series. If these two keep up their past performances a big question will be answered for Jennings and Mack.
 The Cleveland club is well protect ed. Ed. Hohnhorst is billed for the job, and there is every reason to be- neve he will fill the bill. If not, Davis can fall back upon Lajofe, and last, but not least, upon himself.
 Even Bobby Wal aces tail enders have a recruit sreputed to be a world beater in Kutina, the big first sacker, who graduated from the South MicFi- gan League last year. In 1911 the Browns didn't go a month Witbou trying out new first sacker. This year they think this recruit will end all the trouble. The way he hit in the post-season series with the Browns won a place in the hearts of the Mound City fans, and now they all
 The Boston Red Sox was another team that had trouble last year over a first baseman. Now Jake Stahl has signed up to return to the game and the Bostonians. If he can "come AIeer, Taylor & Co. to worry.
 Chicago and Washington are the only clubs in the league whose man agers are not definitely decided on their first baseman, but Jimmy Cal daf1an is the only one who has to worry about it.
 Germany Schaefer, although not a regular first baseman, showed last year that he was ''there'' at this po- sition, and can be used again this year if necessary.
 Jimmy Callahan is the one manager who has no one that he is sure of Five recruits will go South with the White Sox to try out for first base, but they are recruits who are unknown quantities, and players who have been tried out and not made good. But Jimmy is sure that he will, have George StovaII on Chicago's payroll before the season opens.

 Waller mailed his signed contract to Lynn of the New England League, yes terday. He was told about the ne- cessity of having an affidavit att ach- ed to the contract, so he went to see President O'Rourke of the Connect cut League, and had things fixed up. Waller says he intends to 50 the right thing this season. He has a fine contract with Lynn. The manage ment will give him bonus if he wins more than 20 games and will also give him a bonus if he sticks the whole season.
 'I found it pretty soft in the New Eng and League" declares Waller.
 The first game I pitched I went in after riding all morning on the train, and I struck out F. Then a couple of days afterward I let Brockton down without a hit. After that got lonesome for New York and blew away from Lynn.''
