 Manager McCann returned last night from his trip to New York, but he lost Secretary Reddy somewhere in the shuffle. It is said that the secre- tary went to the Winter Garden to take look at Annette Kellerman, the Diving Venus, and then forgot what time the train left for Bridgeport. While in New York Manager McCann called at the office of the New York American club and asked about play CTS. He is seeking a catcher. A back stop named Appleby was offered but the local manager wants to get some information regarding AppIeby's abil- ity bfeore taking him.
 The Bridgeport club is having hard work arranging an exhibition schedule because the New England league starts week earlier than the Con necticut and because most of the In ternational le~~ue teams have their dates filled. An attempt will be made to have the Providence team visit Newfield park. Providence generally plays in Hartford and New Britain in April and might be induced to vis- it this city.

Charter Steamer
 For Olympic Stars
Big Ocean Liner Will Give Athletes Opportunity to Train on Way to Stock holm. '''

While no official announcement has yet heon made by the American Olympic Committee, it was learned last night on good authority that Colonel Robert N. Thompson, presi- dent of the American Olympic Com mittee, had chartered the steamship Finland and that the American Olympic team will make the trip to Stockholm, Sweden, for next summers Olympiad on board that boat Ac- comm odations will be reserved for leteS, members of the committee, of ficials and their friends. The tenta- tive sailing date from New York is June Is. The Finland twill arrive at Stockholm about ten days before tho opentng of the athletic events on the Olympic programme, which are scheduled to begin on July $. The Finland will leave Stockholm for New York on July IS, three days after the track and field events at the O.ympiad htve been brought to a close.
 The deck of the boat was large enough for the laying out of an eighth of mile track, and there would be plenty of room for jumping pits and men to practice The boat has fine gymnasium and a large swimming tank.
 The Finland will serve as a hotel for the team from the time the boat sails from New York till 1t docks here ons it's return. The boat will dock at Stockholm and serve as a hotel for the team while the games are going on. The chartering of the Finland will do away with the trouble the have in obtaining hotel accomm oda- tions in Stockholm while that city is crowded with thS thousands of visit ors who will attend the Olympiad.

A correspondent asks how in my opinion Johnson compares in clever ness and general fighting qualifications with Peter Jackson. had to chuck!e a few when I read that letter. Jack son and Johnson can hardly be com pared at all. By that I mean their methods were entirely unlike as pos sible.
 Peter Jackson was a past master of the boxing art. He had a wonder fully effective offense and equally ad- anirabIe defense. On the aggressive his marvellous left hand and judg- ment of time and distance and accu- racy of delivery made him a terror to any but the most scientific opponent. Jackson could have taken a man who fought aszJohnson does and chop him to pieces until ready to put over his famous right across to the jaw. Jack son never wasted punch; neither did he content himself with waiting for chances to put in an effective blow.
