BATTING OF COLT BUES
 FEATURE OF GIANTS GAME.

Marlin, Tex, March 16.-As a cur tain raiser to their start for Gtlveston and Houston last night the Giant Colts and Regulars fought out a full nine-inning game, the first of the training season, before a crowd of several hundred spectators. The Colts won by a score of to 2 and they are as cocky as a crowd of pennant win nerS.
 The pitchers for the Regulars were: Marquard, Fullenwieder and Tasreau. while Wiltse, Pierce and Drucke elect ed to work for the Colts.
 The Regulars jumped on Wiltse hard at the start and it looked as if they would have an easy victory, but the old southpaw quickly frightened up and held them safe for his next two innings. Tn the first round Snod- grass and Murray both hit for three bases and that brought in a run.
 The star performer for the Colts was Bues, the new third baseman. Cut of three times up he nailed two singles and a tWo-bagger. The fea- ture work of the game was the base stealing and the star performer at that line of work was Chief Meyers. who stole second and third, after making a hit.

 For Yale Men Only
Ralph D. Paine Says Elis Can Retain Prestige by Return
 to Graduate Coaching

New Haven.- March 16-Ralph D. Paine, who was graduated from Yale in 1884,, and who stroked the varsity crew in his senior year, praises the return by the Yale athletic authorities to graduate coaching in rowing and baseball, and condemns in strong terms the departure from that system, which, he believes. brought about Yale's defeats in recent years. In an interview in the Yale News yesterday he said:
 'I, for one, believe that Yale sold her birthright for a mess of pottage when she threw overheard her grad uate coaching system in rowing and baseball, and it turned out to be a pretty poor mess of pottage. Yale lost her prestige as standing for the highest ideals of sport. In addition, she lost one baseball and rowing cham pionship after another.
 Tn swinging back to the system of other days, Yale has again taken her proper place as an example for other colleges. And she can set no finer eX- ample than to stick to the doctrine of Yale athletics for Yale men,
 Referring particularly to rowing, he says the Bob Cook stroke was good enough to beat Harvard year after year, and it is good enough to beat Harvard again.

(BY Wagner.l

The Atlanta club is the latest to go after Benny Kauff. Manager Charley Hemphill of the Southern association likes the looks of the former Me chanic. It is pretty certain that Kauff and Finn, the latter a Tri-State pro- duct, will not stick with the New York Americans and numerous bids have been put in for the youngsters. The New York outfield will be composed of Cree, Wolter and Daniels, and Osborn, who was secured from Ro- chester, will probably get the utility job. Kauff's fate will probably not be decided until the Yankees leave for the north.
 The big basketball series between the Cranes and Blue Ribbons is all the cry in local sporting circles. The Cranes think they have a good chance and the boys in the West End plant are offering to back their team with regular money. The Ribbons are al- ready talking about what the score will be but they haven't shown any desire yet to back their opinions with the maZuma.
 Lou Barbour, who did good work as utility man for Springfield last sea- son, has signed with Lincoln. Neb, of the Western league. Barbour was made a free agent by Springfield.
 Here are a few kind words about Brad Kocher, the former Bridgeport backstop, by a Detroit paper:
 Judging from the way both On slow and Kocher, the recruit catch CTS, are making good, there won't be any necessity of worrying about the receiving end of the battery depart ment for some time. These two young fellows are not only there with the catching ability and the wrings for the pegs, but their hitting so far has been of the kind that promises fine
 '"rhe Tigers will carry only three catchers during the coming season and if the two youngsters now show ing up so .well. keep up at the gait they are going, there is more than a possibility that they will both be kept. That means that Joe Casey will have to show his best form to beat either one of the men out of the job as a Stanage assistant
 Casey has somewhat of a diSad- vantage over the two men here now in that he has to work for some time to get into shape. The two recruit catchers have had fortnight of good K, last week. Kocher has had to do very little to get into shape, as he was not overweight"
 eff Hi Ladd looks better thans the other outfield candidates, He'll be on the job this season." declared Man ager McCann this morning. The manager said Hiram hadn't returped his signed contract but he had of fered the veteran a raise in salary and he understood Ladd was willing to play if the team desired his services. seHf will report for practice with the

 NEW HAVEN STAR, WILL
 PLAY THIRD FOR CHICAGO

New Orleans, March 16.-Eddie Len nox, once with Brooklyn, and who played with the Louisville team of the American Association last year, will have the first chance to make good at third for the Cub regulars. This an- nouncement was made by Manager Chance yesterday, when he said he would probably start his regulars on Sunday, and that Lennox would fill the vacancy caused by the death of James Doyle. Chance was definite in his statement that Lennox would be given the preference over Zimmerman at the start Then it will be up to the former Brooklyn pitcher. If he makes good, the job will be his If he fails to show the class Zimmerman displayed, Heine will be back on the job.

 The Southern League will use the double umpire system this season, but will have hard time of it to organ ize a good staff.

It is reported that Ad Wolgast is to don the spangles some time in May and that Senor Jose Rivers will be the first to be used as a trial horse to demonstrate whether or not the disarrangement of the champions in- terior department has seriously inn paired his fighting skill.
 Rivers is a pretty tough customer for anybody, even a champion, to tackle after a long siege of convales- cence and absence from the ring. It would seem to be the proper scheme to select an easier nut, to crack. However, ,Ad and Manager Tom Jones know their little books. Should wolgast "come back" with flying col ors it is to be hoped he will decide to settle that long mooted question of superiority between Mcfarland and himself The public has waited long and patiently for that battle; there was heap much disappointment in tho land when the authorities interfered with their proposed bout last Fall, and the promoter who succeeds in bringing these stars together will de- serve the thanks of admirers of the sport as we'll as the large financial such contest.

 Chicago, March 16.-Professional boxing in New York City is fn a prosperous condition-that is the big clubs and the boxers with a fancy reputation are finding the sport ex- ceedingly profitable. The stars of the game are making big money, and so are the club owners who promote their matches Packey Mcfarland and One Round Hogan divided ST. 500 after their last weeks ten round exhibition. Mike Gibbons and Jack Denning are to box for similar sum while as an indictment for Carl Nor ris and Al Palzer to give New York CTS a sample of the best the white hope' market affords, an offer of $13,0O0 cold cash has been made.
 No indication of hard times in such offers for ten round exhibitions, is there? And yet not a few scrap pers are finding it rather a diffi- cult proposition to corral enough of this worlds goods to supply the 'eats' at regular intervals. While the pugilistic head-liners and the big promoters are making money in large gobs, the mediocre boxers and little club owners have to hustle to make both ends meet I am in re- ceipt of letter from a disgruntled Gotham promoter informing me that the gross gate at his last show was in the neighborhood of $1O0, and out of this he was expected to pay rent, light, help and the boxers. And the entertainment was to consist of some thirty rounds of boxing with fair lot of boys to furnish the sport. Needless to say he had to call the show off.
 In nearly every city I have visited of late while filling theatrical en- gagements I have been urged by box CTS, in some cases unheard of out side of their immediate neighbor- nOOQS, to- exert my 1nHueuCe WILL New York match makers in their behalf. The impression seems to pre- vail that to start a boxer on the high road to fortune all that is necessary is the chance to perform in Gotham.
 Far be it from me to try to dis, courage ambitious youngsters from taking a crack at the game in Man haitian. Mike Gibbons went there an unknown and in a few weeks was famous There is the same chance for any lad who can make good. But before packing up and grabbing frat tlers'' for the effete East, my advice to aspiring pugilists is "Be sure you are there with the goods" Other wise the glad hand of welcome and the guaranteed purse shall not sbe your portion.

The idea is current that Abe Attell is "all in.' And why, pray? Be- cause he lost his title to Johnny Kill bane, and Tommy Murphy outpoint- ed him? I for one believe there is a lot of good fight left in the former champion. I'll swear he can beat more men of his weight than can beat him AtteT is not so good as a few years ago, that is very true, but he is long way from being down and out. Kilbane is a great boxer,
