One voice comes sad and bitter The speaker ~ consumed with the
desire for money For him, everything in life centres around that one fren-
ambition to be rich. And all the good things Of life that he has, his
comfortable home, his charming wife. his good children, are as nothing to
him. He neither appreciates the blessings that are already his. MOI enjoys
the pleasures at his hand, because his yes are fixed feverishly O the money
goal ahead. And the harder he strives for it the farther It recedes from
him.
Over another wire comes the troubled voice of n whose family ae

and standing by his post unhinchingy. But others are making his life n
happy. n esisters violent temper is upsetting the family peace almost dis

Want Nine Games
 In Worlds Series
Many Fans Demand Change and Connie Mack FavOrS
 Long Contest

San Antonio. Tex. Feb. 2S-Connie Mack, manager of the Athletics, yes terday came out in favor of nine games instead of seven to decide the baseball championship between the major leagues.
 Put me down strong on that nine game proposition.'' said Connie 'I feel that way, first, because it win make the people feel better than they can now regarding the merits of the competing teams. Also any team that reaches out now and grabs the seven game wins would be right on top in the nine game show down.
 Another thing, the people would all get a chance to see at least one game in a nine game series. It would also help to kill that foolish belief some persons have that all the games are fixed in advance"

USELESS THROWING RUINS
 MANY ARMS, SAYS WALLACE

"Useless throwing ruins more bal players than any one thlngs' declared Browns, whose 16 years Of sterling service on the diamond put him in a position to judge accurately.
 LOSS of the good right arm is the bugbear of the men who play the na- tionaI game" the Browns manager continued How many times you see an infeIder cutting loose hard throws when he might just as well have toss see the swift stuff, but it gets you nothing.
 T have found working out slowly the best plan. never hurry throw on a slow runner, either. In the pTac- tice before the game, if a man warns up gradually and then cuts loose a hard throw at the finish, just to see if the old stuff is there, he isn't go- ing to ruin his throwing arm half as quickly as the fellow who makes ev- cry throw at top speed"
 Hugh Jennings and Tuck Turner present two fine examples of athletes netedlessly. When the old Orioles in field was at its best the warming up practice was fully as enjoyable as the contest itself. Jennings, with all his pepper, never made easy peg. He put the ball across the diamond with the old zipp stuff until there came a time when he could no longer throw with his accustomed speed. Then he went to first base, at that time con sfdered the old mans home Jennings to-day can cover a lot of ground, and he ca hit, yet when he practices with the Tigers he jerks the hall underhand- ed His arm is gone.
 Needless throwing robbed the Cleve- land Club of pennant in 1908. the year that Detroit, the Maps. the White Sox and Browns had such a me~ry Strug- gle. Tuck Turner, shortstop, never conserved his energies, and there came a time when he, like Jennings, could no longer whip the ball over. His arm refused to respond to treatment, and during 1908 he was idle most of the season. A long rest improved the wing somewhat, but it never came back as good as formerly.

Hot Springs, Ark, Feb. 28.-Tonne- man, one of the HighIanders' yoSng catchers, and Cy Seymour, who is in Hot Springs with Bill Dahlen's Brook 1yn party, were the heroes in the All Nationals victory in yesterdays game at Wilmington Park with the All Americans. Score, to g.
 George Mullin of the Detroit Tigers wound up on the hillock for the All Nationals and saw that the timely drives smashed out by Tonneman and Seymour in the eighth stanza, when the existing 8 to 3. tie, was broken. were not wasted. C0tshaw and Reilly were two other Brooklyn players who operated in the winning sides lineup.
 The two youngsters played in the infield. Cutshaw did nice work at short All of his assists were clean, but he spoiled an otherwise perfect performance by making a low throw to Bill Donovan, who guarded the in itia1 station for the All Nationals, when he had a sure double play in his opcket.

JeffrieS Claims
 AtteI Is FOrgel
Former Champion Says Abe Framed up Telegram in Which Referees Decision Was Roasted

Los Angeles. Cal, Feb. 2S-Stating bluntly his belief that Abe Attell had deliberately forged his name to a telegram, Jim Jefrries~yesterday after noon repudiated in detail every move the former featherweight champions 8 behalf after Attel was defeated by Johnny KiIbane.
 Returning from a three days hunt ing trip in the mountains, Jeffries sent for referee Charles F. Eytol.. and in the presence of his brother, Jack Jeffries, made the following statement:
 ''Eyton,s decision" was just and the only one possible. Kilbane honestly defeated Attell and earned the worlds featherweight championship. I con- graduated Eyton upon his decision ed my surprise that Attell had gone back so far, and since that time have talked of the fight with nobody except Attell, whom I advised to keep still as he had been beaten by bet ter boy and it would do him no good to squeal.
 ''It looks as though Atten put one over on me. his good friend Abe knew that I wouldn't be back in town for several days and he probably fig ured that he could get away with this questionable play, relying upon my good nature not to deny the mes sage.
 "I haven't sent a wire through any of the telegraph companies, and au- thorize MT. Eyton to call upon these companies for an inspection of any telegrams bearing my signature sent during the past week"

Gus GardeIIa Unable to Play Because of Injured Foot But Bill Luby

Marlin, Tex, Feb. 2S-The first real tussle of the Giants training sea son was fought yesterday, when two contingents of Giantlets baJtled away for six innings. John J. McGraw explained the victorious squadron while the losers were led into action by Harry Mccormick McGraw's S forces were three runs behind at one stage of the conflict, butt by banging out two runs each in the fifth and sixth frames they snatched the brand from the burning to the tune of to 3.
 The two teams lined up as follows: McGraw's Team-Groh, shortStop; Johnston. right field; Shafer, second base; Bues, third base; Burns, left field; Jacobson, centre field; McGraw first base: Robinson, catcher; Tesreau and Maxwell, pitchers. Mccormick s Team-Stock. shortstop; Devore, left field; Mccormick, right field; Luby, first base; Paulet, catcher; Thompson second base; Dupuy, third base: Bran nick, centre field; Munsell and Fer reIl, pitchers. Arlie Latham acted as umpire.
 Frank Nohowel and Gus Gardella were the only rockies outside of Pitch CTS Fullenweider and Evans who did not get into the pastime. The Colum- bia kid sprained his ankle Monday and will probably be hors de combat for several days. GardeIla is still an invalid, and his injured foot is re- pairing slowly.

Tenny Sore At
 Boston Club Now
Attempt Made to Release Former Manager Regardless
 of $5,OOO Contract

Fred Penney is not very well pleased with the kind of treatment that he is receiving from John M. Ward, of the Boston Nationals. January 22 Presi- dent Ward wrote to MT. Penney from New York, saying that he thought 1t would be better for both Penney and the Boston club if Fred would look up another job, and said that the Boston club was willing to give him his un- conditional release
 Penney paid no attention to the let ter, and February he received a, sec ond letter from Ward, saying that the Boston club was willing to give Penney s1,O00 if he would cancel his contract with it.
 LsFt Thursday Penney went to the Paddock building at Wards request and talked the matter over. Ward thought that Penney could easily find a position in baseball that would bring him in 3.500 Penney asked where there was such a position open, but Ward knew of none. Ward finally raised his offer to g., 2,000, but the vet eran player cou'd not see 1t and has refused to consider any proposition so far suggested. So the case is just as far as ever from settlement.

Princeton Crew
 On Lake Cayuga
Tigers and Cornell Likely to
 Row There in May

According to reports from Ithaca, Princeton's varsity eight may row Cor nell on Lake Cayuga the coming spring and although no definite ar made as yet indications point to such Q race. In any event Cornell will row the Tigers before 1t sends its crews to PoughkeepSie for the final training for the Hudson regatta.
 Cornell desires to meet the Prince ton eight in the same race in which it rows Harvard late in May. Cornell already has preached the subject to the rowing, authorities at both insti- tutions and only the final con1rma- ton is needed to make a triangular race a certainty. Failing in arrang- ing a three cornered regatta Cornell will make every effort to have the Tigers row on Cayuga~ The Cornell and Harvard crew managers are to meet in Albany this week, to make final arrangements for the dual race and it is probable that the proposi- tion Of having Princeton enter will be disposed of at that time. The race will be rowed on May 25 until pres ent arran gements fall through, but will take place over the Charles Riv- CT course. The crews have been in vjted to row on the Connecticut at Springfield.
 Whether Princeton will be allowed to row on Cayuga is a question which is bothering the managers a little be- cause on account of a faculty ruling the Tigers varsity eight is barred from rowing on any course save Lake Carnegie. Sanction has been receiv- ed for the second crew to row at Philadelphia in the Henley, however. and it is almost certain that the facu1- ty would rescind it's ruling and let the first eight go to Ithaca if the occasion should warrant. Cornell has not yet decided whether it would be possible to send the crew to Prince ton again this year and it is doubtful if such an arran cement would be al- lowed by the faculty committee.

Jeannette Beats
 Andy Morris Easily
Young McAuIiffe Earns Fast Draw in Fast Bout With
 Joe MarckS
CNew Haven Journal-courier)

(New Haven Journal-Courier)
 Presenting a ghastly sight, with eyes, Andy Morris, the Nova Scotia white hope, was saved from being killed outright by Joe Jeannette, be- fore the Annex Athletic club, at the Casino last night, when Referee David Fitzgerald stopped the massacre in the sixth round. The star" bout was scheduled to travel fifteen rounds but had one chance in a thousand of doing so. Jeannette literally made a chopping block of his opponent and had the colored fighter fought in his usual style he would have knocked his man cold long before the sixth frame was reached.
 Joe MarckS of Highwood met one of the fastest men he has ever been pitted against, in Young McAu1iffe of Bridgeport and although he might have outpointed his man in a longer battle, Joe had all he could do to se- cure a draw with the Bridgeport CT. The seni-final between the two boys was the real fight of the even ing and was a whirlwind, from start to finish. The fighting was nearly all of the toe-to-toe style, the first round of the affair being the fastest seen in this vicinity in many moons.
 A good fast draw could be the only fair decision given. Marcks was slow middle of the bout and succeeded in evening matters up before the limit had been reached. MarckS had Mo Auliffe groggy in the fifth round and it looked like a premature finish But McAuliffe came back strongly in the last round when one of the pretti- est exhibitions of real fighting took place. The boys were about evenly matched in skill. McAuliffe had a wicked left and succeeded repeatedly in sending it into Marcks' face, after with his right. Marcks show ed that he is two-handed fighter and took fully fifty per cent of the honors.

 George Cameron is certainly mak- ing efforts to give New Haven a strong team this season. He is buy ing players right and left. He an noUnces that he has a new first base man in view and that Gygli will walk the plank. Mckinley, who was bought from Toledo of the American association, is expected to make good at second base. Last season McKin- ley was with Adrian in the Southern Michigan league. In 100 games he batted .232 and f1elded .946. An out fielder named CIynes also bought from Toledo. looks like a slugger. He was with Rock Island in the Three I lea que this year and clouted BOT in 78 games. With Clynes.
