B. H. s. Defeats
 Greenwich High
Pitcher Walter Allows But One
 Hit and Fans 13 Eaters
lBY Wagner.l

The fine Italian hand (joke) of Terrible Terry Rogers was plainly seen in the victory which Bridgeport High school scored over Greenwich High at Newfield yesterday. The score was 13 to l and Bridgeport stole IT bases. Terry is the local coach and he has instilled into his charges the methods that made him one of the headiest players of his time The B. H. s. players displayed lots of speed and ginger. They comb ed Alexander for 12 safeties and field ed we'll.
 Walters was on the mound for the B. H. S. boys and gave but one hit. He had plenty of smoke and his slants bothered the visitors to the extent of 13 strikeouts. Irwin showed up strongly behind the bat. In fact he is one of the best High school catch CTS seen in this vicinity in several years. He throws well to bases Capt. Stuart Hamilton of B. H. s. played a good defensive game and also hit hard. Callahan, the peppery short stop, led his team at bat with three singles That boy looks like coming star Coulter and Heating also dis played speed. Flaherty did the best work for Greenwich.
 The batting order: Heating, f.; Hamilton, 2b.; Coulter, h.; Hurley, If; Challenger, 3b.; Irwin, C.; Calla- han, ss.; Walters, D.; Cosgrove, rf.; Howard, If. Greenwich, Turner ss.; Elkins, lf.; Peck, 2b.; J. Connell, h.; Lewis, C.; F1aherty, 3b.; F. Connell, cf.: McPhee, If; Alexander, D.; Gei- bel 3b.

MIKE MURPHY DOESN'T
 KNOW ABOUT ASSISTANTS

Philadelphia, May 2-Mike Murphy, the veteran track coach of the Uni versity of Pennsylvania, says that he knows nothing concerning the prob able appointment of two trainers to assist him in training the American athletes for the Olympic games at Stockholm this summer. He said today that he had not been consulted on the plan as yet. although he had been in conference with James E. Sullivan, the head of tse American Olympic Committee, at the conclusion of tho relay carnival on Franklin Field last Saturday afternoon.
 Murphy when interviewed said: .'The published report that two tra1n> CTS would be appointed to assist me with the American team this year is all news to me. Whether the Olympro Committee had been contemplating this plan I am unable to state. al- though I feel that I would certainly have been advised by this time. It may mean that the two men named as the probable choices, Lawson Rob- ertson the trainer of the Irish-Amer- ican club, and Martin Delaney, train CT of the Chicago Athletic association, will be sent over with the team at the expense ns their respective clnhA

CHINESE BASEBALL TEAM
 BEATS AMERICAN CLUBS

The College of Hawaii. Chinese baseball team, which Is touring this country, has surprised both the coI- lege and professional hines in the mdidle west. The Chinese team plays far better game than the Japanese nine from the University of waseda did last year, in marked contrast to the Japanese, the Chinamen use great judgment, and their plays are dar- ing, their f1elders hit we'll and they have pitchers who are almost if not quite as good as any college pitch CTS in the United States.
 Another feature of the game in which the Chinese excel is the use of the most up-to-date slang. As one of the western papers says, the Ha- waiian team uses 1912 model baseball slang and occasionally lapses into 1913 expressions. In the game with the University of Chicago when Hruds, the star pitcher of the Chicago nine, in the first inning, the Chinese play CTS on the coaching lines shouted through large megaphones. Every bodyS doing it now and added still more to the demoralziation of the Chicago pitcher, Hruda was knocked out of the box in the sixth inning.
 Apau has done most of the twirling for the Chinese players and has the fastest ball and a better assortment than any of the Japanese pitchers who have been seen in this country He has a decidedly fast delivery and pitches with good speed all the time. More of the Chinese players show great versatility and in their games shifted around from inf1eld to out field positions, without affecting their team work in the least.

Springfield Is Winner Over Gene MCCann'S SWatterS
Dick Tuckey's One Bad Inning
 Gives Ponies Victory
Springfield Union)

Just as Gene McCann was giving himself a lot of congratulatory con- versation to the effect that he had Tom Tuckey's brother. the Connecticut league champions cut loose and be- fore they let up had tallied six times in one inning. That inning was the sixth of yesterdays game on League park and up to that time neither team had tallied at all. Later the Ponies added one and the Mechanics manag- ed to get three all told Springfield ', Bridgeport 3.
 In effect it was the opening day of the season in Springfield and there was a big crowd on hand to cheer for the champions. It was Ladies day" and women fans turned out in large numbers.
 Speed Finn was a gay deceiver for the Ponies His control wasn't of the best, but he was particularly pow erful in pinches when a wallop would have done damage. He famed eight batsmen, O'Rourke, the visiting short ing down on strike three times.
 Neither team was dangerous until the fourth, when Crook opened up with a double against the left cen ter field fence. O'Rourke famed and the ball hit Crook on Miller's ground Sf to Gu6Sl. MOTIFS was IduHeO
 The fun started in the sixth after Genest had fouled to Brewer. Waite doubled against center field fence and Landgraf's line drive to right center brought him in. Landgraf kept right on going when the ball was returned to the pitcher instead of to >second, and reached the middle sack in safe- ty. He went to third while Crook was taking Strickler's grounder, and scored when Tuckey, covering first on a grounder from Swander, muffed Crooks throw.
 Those two runs looked big then. but they were only the starting point Hoover hit safely through the box and Swander reached second. Guests line drive to left brought Swander across and sent Hoover to second. Mutt Waters lived up to his reputation as pinch hitter by sending the ball away out to right center on a whale Guest and gave the sturdy swatsman second. Finn's single to right brought Waters in and Genest, on his second time up in the inning, was the third out on a grounder to Tuckey.
 Finn grew a bit wobbly in the sev- as contenders for few minutes. Miller walked and Norris lifted the ball over center field fence for home run. Foran was hit and Brew CT bunted in an attempt to catch Finn mapping but was thrown out at first. Tuckey went down on strikes, but passes to Eley and Stow filled the bases with Capt. Crook at the bat. A good hit would have made the game close. but Crook hit weakly to the pitcher and was tossed out. He claim ed the ball hit his foot on foul ground and didn't attempt to run.
 After two were out in the eighth, Norris beat out a slow roller to third and romped around the rest of the way on Speedy Foran's fine triple to right center. Brewer went out to Strickler Synder hitting for Tuckey. singled in the ninth. Eley followed with another safe slam, but Stow famed. Crook was disposed of on a fly to Swander and O'Rourke was thrown out by Finn. Score:

SEND PITCHER DENT
 TO M'CINNITY'S NEWARKS
Former New Haven Star Switched to International League By
 Brooklyn.

Manager Bill Dahlen, of the Brook lyn Nationals, en route to Boston, an- nounced yesterday the release of Pitch CT Elliott E.. Dent to the. Newark club of the International league. Dent has been a transient visitor to Brooklyn for the past two seasons, his trips being confined to the spring and fall. Between times he pitched for the New Haven nine. While on the Southern trip Dent contracted cold in his shoulder and has not been able to dis play real form.
 Dents first professional engagement was with the New Haven club, Man ager Cameron securing him from a fast semi-professional team in Balt!- more. Last season Dent and Reisigi were the only winning pitchers on the staff. If he displays any of his last years form, Dent should prove a real find for McGinnity's Newark nine, as the latter has not got a very strong corps of pitchers

EDDIE COLLINS ATHLETICS
 SECOND BASMAN, 25 TODAY

You can't keep good man down. Whether he graduates from a coal mine, like Larry Doyle, the great sec Ond baseman of the Giants, or from 8 university, like Eddie Collins, star sec- ond sacker of the Philadelphia Attn letics, a chap who can deliver the goods is bound to have his chance. Collins, who helped to win the worlds cham pionship for the Athletics last year, is to-day receiving the congratulations Of his team mates on his twenty-hfth birthday, having been born at Mller- in Columbia University he played on the college nine. and with the coach ing he received, quickly developed sen- sational ability as fielder. In 1906 he spent the summer vacation playing with the Rutland, Vt, team Of the Northern League. in the position of shortstop. That is, he started the season with Rutland, but he wasn't permitted to finish, for one of Connie Macks scouts trailed him to his lair and offered him a job with the Ath- letics. Collins at first refused, de- claring that to don a Philadelphia uniform would bar him from playing with Columbia during his senior year, but the scout said he could remedy that by giving Eddie a new name. So 1t happened that young fellow named Sullivan appeared soon after in Con- nie Mack's office at the old Colum- bia avenue grounds in Philadelphia and announced that he was ready 70 go to work. Sullivan" was given 8 try out for three days in practice behind the erandstand and pronounced ripe for big league circles. He joined the team on it's first western trip. opening in Chicago, but for two years spent most of his time on the bench, play ing only occasionally. After his first season with Philadelphia he returned to Columbia, got his degree and re- joined the Athletics. After that he played under his own name. Eddie bats left handed, throws right handed and steals bases with any old hand or foot.

Eddie was burning 'em down to second He is strong in ev- cry department. McCann has been anxious to get an experienced back stop and believes he has the right man in Bridges. Eddie is one of those heady, scrappy players who are al- ways in the game. He knows how to steady the pitchers and keep the rest of the team on the jump. Bridges has had quite lot of experience since he broke into this league with Jack Tighe in Norwich. He was with Mer- iden and Northampton and later was bought by Pittsburg. The Pirates farmed him to Montreal and he has been in the International league for the past two seasons. He did we'll with Montreal this season but couldn't
