PAPkE KNOCKS LIETCh
 OUT IN SECOND ROUND
Former Chauffeur Has No Chance
 Against Crack Middleweight.

Billy Lietch, an ex-chauffeur in the New York Police department, who was said to have forsaken the depart ment to win the middleweight cham pionship of the world, had his chance last night After bounding around the canvas for the greater part of two rounds against Billy Papke at the Ma tional Sporting club, Lietch was car ried to his corner in a badly dazed condition. A towel, hurled by Sam my Kelly. came into the ring just after Papke had delivered right hand blow to Lietch's jaw with suf- ficient force to put the ex-chauffeur to sleep.
 Lietch went down the first time less than fifteen seconds after the bell started the pair on their way. But for Papke's wildness he would never have finished the round. He went down for the count of five just before the round ended and as he staggered to his feet a few seconds before the bell Papke shot over an- other terrific right, the ropes saving Lietch from going down.
 Tn the second round Lietch was floored three times before the final punch put him down for the last time. He showed his limited knowl- edge of ring tactics by arising as soon as possible. rather than rest through his count of nine, and his work with his hands was as weak as his head work. He was staggering this round

Keating TWir|s More Winning Ball Local Boy Pilots Lawrence To Victory Over Fall.River
 Club

Ray Heating of this city twirled great ball for Lawrence of the New England League, last Tuesday, when his team beat Fall River by to 8. Here is what a Lawrence paper says:
 Lawrence won from O'Brien's men in Fall River yesterday by the score of to 3. Young Heating was the big stumbling block in the way of Spindle City success for he worked in major league style and had a splitter that made nine of the Fall River men go down by the strikeout route. Op- posed to him was Wormwood, who was unsteady in the early stages and before he had settled down he had virtually lost his game. Kennedy and Heating got four of the six hits, each landing double and single.''
 Another New England writer re- marks:
 Heating looks like find for Man ager Louis Pteper of the Lawrence club. He pitched a superb game against Fall River yesterday, allowing only five hits. The scouts are begin ming to wonder who he is"

Timely Hitting By MCCann'S Men
 Defeats HoIyoke
c Cunningham and Bridges Do Good Battery Work For
 Mechanics
(By Wagner

Rosy Nichols the red faced gent who pilots Dan O'Neil's Holyoke team, furnished quite a little excitement for the fans who gathered at Newfield yesterday to see the Mechanics take a game from Holyoke the visitors by 5 to 3. There was just the proper mixture of good and bad playing to keep the folks excited and the nag ging tactics of Nichols and Jack Han- nifan had the bleacherites going.
 Although the Mechanics were lib- eral with their errors, their exhibition as a whole was good. After the first session they played steadily. The greatest improvement noted was in the battery work. With Eddie Bridges behind the platter the whole team seemed to find itself Eddie had lots of pepper and handled Cunningham 8 delivery with fine judgment He showed his throwing ability by nail- ing Hickey at second in the second inning. The other stolen bases were made when third was occupied with two out and the play was being made for the batter: Bridges inserted a timely single that scored a run in the fourth.
 Hooks Cunningham proved a cap- able boxman. He had good control and although tapped rather freely.
 
 crowded. Cunningham was belted for nine safeties. He allowed one pass. hit a batsman and famed five. Op- posed to Cunny was Steve Manning. who has aspirations to be pitcher. He losses from the south side and poor control is his chief trouble. He passed four and hit three men. The Mechanics sandwiched their swats with the passes and thereby piled up the runs.
 Cy Miller was the headliner with the hickory. He had triple and a sim gle. The fielding feature was catch by Skipper Eley who rushtd in and grabbed a. short fly from O'Hara's bat in the fourth. Hey got the sphere a few inches from the ground and had to roll over before he could slow up.
 Frank O'Rourke played cleverly and clipped in with hit and a sacrifice. Shorty Norris. who is not accustomed to a sun field, tried to play the left garden and started by muffing fly. He was then switched to center where he did better At the bat Norris showed his skill by getting single. sacrifice and pass. He also stole 8 base.

 Cily For Visit
Says Phillies Will Start Winning When Manager Dooin Re-
 joins Club

Tommy Downey was in the city last night to make a brief visit. He has been playing good ball for the Phila- deiphia Nationals but his efforts have been lost sight of in the awful slump the Phillies have taken. Our club is shot to pieces at present" said Tommy. Manager Dooin, Outfielder Magee. Catcher Killifer, and Pitchers Chalmers and Alexander are on the crippled list. The team has struck a slump and we can't seem to get out of it.
 'The Giants have taken advantage of our weakness and arc piling up the victories. McGraw's boys are play ing wild game which they wouldn't be able to get away with later in the season. They are running around the bases like maniacs. Manager Dooin will be back with the club Saturday and then look out for a shakeup. We've got the material, if we can only lose the hoodoo that has been follow ing us.''
 Downey batted for Moore in the ninth yesterday but didn't get hit.

 The fans were anxious to get a glimpse of Shorty Norris because of his sensational work on the road. AL though he muffed a fly, the crowd took a liking to the youngster because of his speed and apparent hitting abil- ity. He can't play the sun field, but he can look over the pitchers delivery carefully and he can dash around those paths.

BIG LEAGUE GOSSIP

The talk of some Western manag- CTS to the efrect that Hank O'Day is being favored by the umpires because he was only recently one hlmscir sounds like the wall of hard loser. Tn an unbiased observer the suc-1 cess of the Cincinnati Reds seems to ! be due to ability to hit the ball, run bases and disport in other departments of the game with credit.
 While the Giants have the more or less crippled Phillies to battle with Cincinnati has St. Louis as a foe. which gives little promise of the Giants catching the Reds this week
 By kicking the ball as he slid in- to third base Ty Cobb was able to score the winning run in game wfth the White Sox. That is some of the quick thinking for which he draws $e,000 a year.
 yean Gregg, Cleveland's star south nav. has finally rounded into form and is now pitching winning ball.

 With the opening of the United States League Gotham has four league ball clubs.
 The fhillies, who this time last year were giving the Giants sleepless nights, are more or less welcome as a possible stepping stone to first place.
 Manager McGraw is figuring on car rying eight pitchers through the sea- son to be fortified against all emer- gencies. His club is now above the player limit of twenty-five, which goes into effect May 15.
 Arthur Fletcher is the only one of last seasons Giants who has not play ed in a championship game this sea- son. His injured knee is getting bet ter and he expects to be in the game soon.
 Chicago fans are happy over the fact that while the Cubs are going along poorly the White Sox are lead ing their league. Chicago's idea of calamity is not to have one of her clubs fighting around first place.
 In St. Louis they are not so partic- ular.
 The Giants will play Cincinnati in the inaugural game at new Redland Park, May IS.
 It remains to be seen whether Matty still has something on the Reds.
