coal was delivered the rector, seeing
the drayman making what he thought
was a mistake in It's disposal, inter-
posed and IN no uncertain terms babe

always used for that purpose.
The senior warden several days
later was much annoyed to discover
that his orders had been dlsregarded
and that the coal was IN the same old

Reggie Brown Is
Given More Praise
SPORTING WRIT.
Err SAYS WATERBURY RE-
CRUIT WILL SURELY STICK
WITH ATHLETICS.

In speaking about the young pitch
ers of the Philadelphia Athletics, a
Philadelphia writer says:
It may be said, without disparaging
the ability Of the others, that just
four men to date have demonstrated
pitching qualities above their collea-
CUES. These men are Brown, Salmon,
Geipe and Shawkey. Brown, Geipe
and Shawkey are right handlers, while
Salmon hurls the sphere from his left
side.
Of the four men Carl Brown has had
ball, although the class in which he
has played has not been as high as
that represented by Geipe and Shaw
key. But the fact that he was two
years in, the Connecticut League is no
reflection on his ability. By natur-
power of observation Brown is unus
ually well qualified to acquire knowl-
edge along any lay lines. His actions
betray nothing Of the bush league"
but rather SAVIOR Of the major class
department. Without an attempt to
outdo other competitors among the
twirlers Brown attained better form
in a shorter period of conditioning
than any in the squad. He was the
first man to throw curve, and it only
required a few days practice for him
to bring into use much of his speed.
ana ne mas DOCH Ills curve is sharp
and deceptive and he varies its en-
ployment from an overland and, I'M
derhand delivery. His fast ball has
not the jump that some pitchers pos
sess, but his slow one is very deceiv-
ing. Tall as Jack Coombs, he strong
ly reminds one in his actions in the
box of the former Colby College star.

ers as the gentleman from Atlantic
City," the city by the sea being his
home.

Clarke was not figuring on a de-
feat from the Billiards. Said it was
not a question of winning but how
much the score would be, but-some-
thing went wrong and the score was
24-2O in favor of the Billiards.
This weeks games between the
Newspapermen and the Billiards
should be a great battle as it will
practically clinch second place for the
winner.
Last season Manager Leavy of the
st. Joes refused to play the Handlers
for the city championship because
two of their players did not reside in
this city. He himself is caught in
this manner in regards to Cahill and
Morrison when the st. Joes play the
Crane outfit for the city champion
ship and John finds it pretty hard to
swallow his own medicine.
The series between the Cranes and
ST. Joseph's will probably start next
week.
An all city team of girls will be
picked next week and will line up
against the fast Blue Rivals Girls
from New Haven on March %. These
girls are the champions of the state
and are great favorites here and no

Pal Moore And
Owen Moran Draw
BRITISHER HAS OPPONENT AL
MOST OUT BUT is UNABLE TO
DELIVER FINAL BLOW.

No two apples in a barrel ever We're
an of England, and Pal Moore of Phil
adelphia, In their ten-round bout at
the F'airmont A. c., New York, last
night. It would have taken sage
to make a hair line decision as to who
won. A good draw was the verdict
of the unbiased experts, though Nor
ans supporters said the Briton won On
his aggresSiveness, while Moore S
friends said he won on his cleaner hit
ting. Some Of the spectators even
went so far as to say that draw
was what both boys meant the YER
dict to be- There were happenings in
the encounter, however, which tended
to disprove the hints of the men be-
ing under a pull.
The only time either man was IN
danger was we'll toward the end of the
third round, when, after Pal had pep
pered Owen hard with left smashes,
Moran suddenly crossed a terrific
right to the jaw, following the smash
with left hook to the face and then
burying his right mauler wrist deep in
Moores midsection. The fog began
he staggered like a drunken sailor.
Just then the bell came to his rescue.
Though somewhat shaky at, the start
of the fourth round Pal slowly shook
off the effects Of the battering.
Moore in the eighth and ninth
rounds evened up the beating Owen
handed him in the third and fourth
sessions. Pal scored a big lead in
the eighth round, and in the ninth
handed Owen a trimming, jabbing,
hooking and uppercutting the Britisher
till he didn't know where he was at.
Owen went out to redeem himself In
the tenth round. but though fighting
like a bulldog and having Pal backing
up, Moore was effective and earned
the final round by his clean hitting.

Fighting Joe Hyland, who has been

Al ketchell has a big following among

Ketchell is capable of trouncing the
