IN SLOW CONTEST
Some Spring Time Gossip
Concerning the Bdrons

Our venerable friend, Large William
McGilvray, pulled a bad one yesterday
afternoon 1t was the worst that Bill
has ever pulled. If he lives another hun
dred years he will scarcely approach his
stunt of yesterday. 1t was so bad that
it was funny. As a result. while sew
eral growled, the majority laughed
There was a man on first and another
on third. A line hit followed. Bill grabbed
it after a splendid effort. The man on
first started for second. Bill might have
touched the sack and all would have been
applause. Instead he gave pursuit to the
Red. Faster sped the Red. Faster sped
Big Bill. The fans held their breath to
watch the chase Finally, so close behind
the Cincinnati recruit had the Baron come
that the aforementioned slid into the bag.
In the meantime the man who had in
spected the chase from third started
home. Bill, with ever watchful eye, saw
him. and on seeing turned and shot the
ball-not home, but N the direction of
home. There was a score. About that
time McGilvray got wide awake. Last
night he admitted the drinlss were on him.
Other than this stunt however. Bill
had a great day. He faced the pitchers
of the Red team four times. The first
time he walked. The second time he
smashed a single to left. The third time
lie varied the programme by smashing a
single to right. The fourth time he
strolled.
In three games Bill has faced Red

ATTEMPT TO SWIM
ENGLISH CHANNEL

New York, March 22.-Several American
swimmers are proposing to attempt to
swim the English channel within the
next few months.
Among those said to have their eyes on
the goal which the worlds best SWIM
mers always held to be a supreme test.
are Charles Durborow of Philadelphia,
Joseph f. Callahan of Pittsburg and Ben
jamin II. Sehlomberg. Durborow is an
amateur and member of the Philadel-
phia Swimming club; the other men are
life savers.
q Durborow's most recent big swim was
over course of 20 miles in Delaware
bay last summer under conditions which
witnesses said made the feat equal in
both distance and difficulty to the clas-
sic channel swim. Callahan has wished
for some time to show his prowess abroad
and has been preparing for it by many
long swims off Atlantic City.
Schlomberg has openly challenged any
swimmer in the world for a race across
the channel in the early part of May,
Notwithstanding that the channel waters
at that time are generally regarded as
too cold for the feat

YACHT CLUB IN
TIGHT CORNER

New York. March 22.-The reconsidera-
tion which the Royal Yacht club has
asked the New York club to make OF
its refusal to accept the Upton chal-
lenge for the Americas cup may place
the New York club. in an embarrassing
corner 1t is indicated that Sir Thomas
will eliminate any condition from his
challenge. but challenging with 20 foot
er he will enter a race If it is possible
to obtain one against any challenger from
60 to 80 feet in length, as provided in
the deed of gift of the Americas cup.
American yaehtsmen expressed the opin-
ion today that If this proposition was
made the New York club would be
forced to accept the challenge. and If a
so foot boat was used as the defender
the race would be SO much of farce that
American yachtsmen would be held up to
ridicule. 1t was reported that the New
York club might reply to the Royal Ulster
club as early as Monday next.

ment. The club this year is not conl-
posed of veterans, and yet it is not COM
posed of youngsters. The personnel con-
sist of seasoned players in their prime,
and these experienced athletes have no
intention of opening too strong and suf-
fering a reaction in team work and con-
dition in mid season. If the Lookouts
win the flag or are runners up their chief
hostilities will take place along in Au-
gAst and September.
Great things are expected of Charley
Street before the season is one month
gone. "Gabby" states without any boast
or brag that he intends this year to show
as good form as ever he did In his career.
I'VE are working to get into condition
and reach our top speed at the time when
it Will do us the most good" said Street
yesterday, "and neither praise nor CEN
sure is going to make the boys overtrain
or reach condition prematurely. Fof my
self, | don't care If they steal a million
bases in the practice games, if it is best
for my whip not to throw" His senti-
ments are voiced by all.
