M'CRAW PRAISES
 YALE BALL TEAM
Giant Leader Declares New Hs ven Squad is Most
 Promising in Years

Johnny McGraw, manager of the Giants. has a fine word to say for the Yale ball team. He says:
 TT consider this years Yale team one of the best; if not the best, that the Giants have ever played. It shows far more promise than any nine of recent years, being in general we'll balanced and not weak in any department. It does, of course, need a lot of more practice, but in my opinion will have very likely a sue cessful season.
 'As to what the men showed in the first game. I should say that Scott is one of the best pitchers Yale has had in years. His curves broke well but the great thing which he now needs is slightly better control.
 ''The infield as a whole plays a more finished game than usual at this season. The men think quickly and i'll general handle the ball we'll. l should say that the second and third basemen will be the particular stars of the infield. Bennett showing xf extremely well at secona --.e.
 ''The outfield is hard to judge Of as yet. It showed flashes of real form and probably made those mis- takes uhich it did either because the men were not used to the big grand stand as a background or because they were suffering from an attack of stage fright.
 sIn batting the team is doing pret- ty well; it is far ahead of last years team in this phase of the game and shows promise for the future as the hitting seems to be timely. Merritt appears to be the best natural hitter on the squad and hits when the hits count"

good mechanic he is, and in the eight rounds had his heavy opponent in such helpless condition that the sec- | onds ''skied the wipe," as they say in Australia.
 The enthusiasts are already talking a Moha Gibbons match. but as Mike has been making mediocre adversar- ies agree to 145 pounds few hours before ring time, it is cinch he will not consent to a match with the husky Bob unless the latter would cut a leg off Later on perhaps, but not just now. Too much easy game in sight for the clever Gibbons.
 As the proposed McGoorty- Klaus bout has fallen through, and the lat ter is out of the game temporarily with bad hands, efforts are being made to match Moha and McGoorty. These ments as eligibilities for the cham pionship than any other middle weights who have made their bows before New York crowds since the days of Stanley Ketchel.
 George Carpenter. the idol of Paris ian sporting men, was given a queS- tionable decision over Gunther. the Australian negro, so the cables tell us. The consensus of opinion was that a draw would have been a more equitable verdict. Carpenters stock has taken decided drop as result of his indifferent performance. It was only a short time ago that the veteran Kid Mccoy clearly outpoint- ed Gunther, and We all know that the Kid has long been out of the running so far as championships are concern ed.
 Sam Langford squared accounts in the Easter Monday battle with Mo Vey. The reversal was rather ex- pected in America as the detailed ac- counts of their former engagement substantiated the charges of Lang ford and his friends that Referee Ba- ker had erred in conferring the hon Ors on McVey. From the brief ca bled stories it is difficult to pass an opinion upon or criticise the work of the contestants in the latest bout. The fight was stopped at one period by the police who instructed Langford to cut out the kidney punch. As the "tar baby's" most effective work is accomplished at close range and that he won even with this handicap does not speak so well for McVey as a championship possibility.

Jer- sey City gathered nine hits.
 The Mechanics grabbed only three hits. Skipper Eley captured one and Bob Stow clipped in with two. Bridgeport made two errors. The score:
