No Surprise That Ad Wolgast Was
 Beaten By Richie

There seems to be no cause for eath- CT surprise or alarm over the fact that Willie Ritchie pummelled champion Ad Wolgast so effectively in their four round bout the other day. The cham pion was never known to be anything more than a. rough little slugger. That he was able to score two knochdoWnr in the short space of four founds proves that he still carries hs punch His long absence from the ring easily accounts for his wildness and poor eye for distance Wolgast did not run be- hind the form that could reasonably be expected of him,
 Shortly after winning the champion ship Wolgast was forced to lay of for an extended period owing to an ii1- jury to his arm. On returning to the ring his first performances were of a very mediocre character, so much so in fact that Battling Nelson's epithet of t.cheese champion threatened to stick. Wolgast recovered his stride after a few short bouts and will prob ably do the same again. The only doubtful feature of his performance with Ritchie was the fact that the comparatively light hitting Californian was able to stagger him once or twice with straight lefts to the jaw.
 Wolgast has expressed a wish to meet Ritchie in g. ten-round bout in a few weeks. It is apparent that he feels sure of himself or he would take no chances with his clever foe, for he has never been accused of being a reckless matchmaker.

Weeks and other members of the American Olym- pic committee and informed MT. Pawl- ing that the entry would be forward ed to the Swedish Olympic committee if the Vesper Boat Club of Philadel- phia, Gordon's home club, would first obtain the endorsement of the Na- tional Association of Amateur Oars men.
 The entry was sent to the associa- tioh and that organizations endorse ment of the American champion was immediately given.

YALE DEFEATED BY BROWN PLAYERS
Councilman Has Eli Hittefs He1pless While New Haven Squad Plays
 Lstless Ball.
(New Haven Journal-Oouriery


 Brown sprung a surprise on Quinn by's well-oiled machine of ball toss- CTS representing Yale yesterday, and defeated the latter by 3-1 score The Providence lads displayed rare form, while the work of the local collegians appeared listless at times. Yale us- ed two pitchers, Scott and Hartwell. ''Kid" Crowther, Browns football star, who is expected to fill Sprack- lin's place at quarterback next season. was the, first man to face Hartwell, and drew pass. Nash sacrificed and a minute later Crowther stole home for Browns first tally
 Hartwell blew up in the session and She'll, sDurgin and Reilly all found him for singles in quick succession, She'll and Durgin scoring. Yale squeezed in it's single run in the last half of the ninth. Riddell walked, slid around to third base on Pitcher Conzelman's wild throw and when two men were out scame home on Captain Merritt's scratch hit
 Councilman was in fine form and displayed wonderful control. He had drop ball working which the Eli batters failed to meet once. Yale put a new lineup on the field. Reilly was out of the game on account of a bad knee. Carhart played rightfiela for the first time this season and struck out three times in succession. finally giving way to McGhie, who did likewise Burdette caught a great game for Yale and made two spectacu- lar catches of foul flies.

Jimmy O'Rourke
 Again Hurt And
 Is Out Of Game

Jimmy O'Rourke is the original hard luck player. The local boy had been out of the Columbus lineup with an injured ankle and had been prac- ticing little each day in order to rejoin the club. While practicing on the Columbus grounds a few days ago a player named Rapp went out on the field and started to bat the offer ings of little boy,
 Jimmy did not think there was any danger but before he could move out of the way Rapp hit terrific liner which struck him, over the eye. Jim- my dropped to the ground. The blood flowed freely from the wound and it required several stitches to close. He will probably be out of the game at least another week. The Columbus management was anxious to have Jimmy take his old job at second base and he intended to join the team in short time.

Jersey City May
 Lose Player AgIer
MISTAKE IN TELEGRAM RESULTS IN FIRST EASTMAN REVERT
 ING TO CHICAGO CUBS.

The Jersey City International leaguers are in danger of losing the services of Joe Agler, their crack first
 baseman. It seems that the Skeeters acquired, Agler from the Cubs through mistake in the transmission of a read Cor" and changed the entire text of the offer originally made by Manager Schlafy for that player. The Chicago club brought the matter to the attention of the National Com mission, which decided that Agler should return to the Chicago club un- less that club and the Jersey City club can come to an amicable under
 standing in the matter and arrange 2 new deal.
 The original telegram sent by Schlafy to President Murphy of the Cubs read as follows Will give you pick of Jersey City club for $3,500 for Agler's services for season of 1912 your choice to be made not before
 August 15, Player chosen to remain with us balance of season; in case no player chosen by you Agier to re- vert to Chicago. but . to remain sa with When this telegram was received by Murphy the first line read Twill give you pick of Jersey City club or $3,500 for Agler's services, etc"
 After the deal was apparently clos
 edand Agler was sent to Jersey City President Murphy forwarded an agreement to the Jersey City club for President LiIlis to execute, which called for the payment of $3,500 tc Chicago. Lillis refused to ratify the agreement, on the ground that 1t did not conform to the telegraphic offer of Manager Schlaf1y. The commits sion, after seeing both the telegram received by Murphy and the original one filed in Jersey City by Schlafly, decided that both parties had entered an. agreement without understanding each other, and therefore ruled the transaction to be null and void.

SPEED CAUSED WRECK
Faulty Shore Line Construction to Be Remedied on Report of En.
 gineer ElweH.

Hartford. May 16-Chief Engineer c. c. Elwell of the Public Utilities Commission made his report today on the wreck of the Shore Line Electric Company's car at Guilford on May when nearly forty passengers were injured and finds that the accident was due "to excessive speed in round- ing curve on tracks of recent con- struction'' The ballast of the road at the curve, he said, he found to be soft and that the line and the sur- face of the rails were uneven and that the outer rail raised for the cur- vature- at that point was not proper 1y sustained. He finds that the road was built for high speed which was accelerated at the point of the acci- dent and that at the time of the ac- cident the car was going at a rate of forty miles an hour. Since the ac- cident he says the cars have travel ed over the same track at speed at from 45 to 50 miles an hour.
 To prevent a repetition of the acci- dent MT. E1well makes several recom- mendations as to changes in the con- struction of the tracks and to the use of heavier ballast.
