YANKEES TRAINER
 HAD HUMBLE START
Charlie Barrett Used to Rub Down
 School Boy Athletes.

Boston, April 25.-CfarleS Barrett is now right up among the top-notchers of the professional trainers through his position as trainer for the New York Highlanders. Barrett has grown up in the rubbing game, as it were. and many will remember him when, as a mere lad, he used to hang around the Worcester high school training quarters, volunteering his services to rub down the schoolboy athletes when Jere Delaney, J. Fred Powers and oth- CTS used to groom the schoolboys to come down to Boston and take away the intersch plastic championships, a game at which, in ye olden times, the Worcester boys were remarkably suc- cessful. Now that Barrett is trainer of the Highlanders, he makes his headquar- ters in New York, but his first visit to that great and growing city was with a select team of schoolboys whom J. Fred Powers, then coaching Wor- cester high, took to the big city to win national indoor fntersch plastic cham pionships in the Seventy-a first regiment armory.
 The members of the team and their friends clipped in enough money to take Barrett along in his semi-oflcia1 capacity of rubber a reward for services faithfully and freely rendered. The five Worcester boys won the 1arg est number of points, secured the championship IlIle, ana 70 tn1Ss Qay Barrett will tell you that it was his artistic rubbing, quite as much as Fred Powers coaching. that enabled worcester high to walk off with the honors.
 Among the members of that team were A. M. Butler, later Harvard's best sprinter and now a teacher in the East Boston high school, and Paul Potter, the hurd1er, who subsequently, explained the Williams track team won the New England intercollegiate championship in the high hurdles.
 It was through Potter that Barrett went to williams and he has been there ever since, haESng a substitute on the job there now, while he is fl1- ing his present responsible position. Barrett joined the EIighlanders before the squad left for Bermuda, and while there in addition to looking after lame arms, sprained ankles and other train ing camp ailments, was the teams dietitian.

 The interest in the ten round bout between Freddie Welsh, the English champion and Al Ketchel the light weight champion of Connecticut Is growing every day and the fans are making up their minds to be at the ringside Monday evening to see those two fast boys work. Ketche1 is al- ready in shape and is under the watchful eye of Trainer Bennie Mur- phy. The latter wants Al to enter the ring better than he ever did in his career and the admirers of the local boy who have visited Captain Bonds in Stratford this week have come away with nothing but praise for the condition in which they found Al. Welsh will quit his hard training to- morrow and when he arrives he will be fit for the work cut out for him.
 Bunny Ford and Tommy Ginty will put the finishing touches to their training tomorrow and will be here Monday for the weighing in.

.Holyoke, April 25-Nothing was lack ing to make the opening of the Eas- tern association locally a success yes terday afternoon-nothing but a vic tory. Mayor John J. White tossed over the first ball, Paddy Green pitch ed , the fans turned out in large num- bers and the weather man was kind. But Bridgeport copped the chief cor ner of the counts. The figures were 5 and g.
 Half a dozen hits were all that Bridgeport got off Green and one of these was a double by Burns that dropped between Garry and Dell when the two outfielders staged one of those after you'' stunts. Blum, a former New England leaguer, yielded one more hit than Green, but he was gem orally strong in the pinches after he had pulled through the first inning. The only run off him after that came in the ninth, when Long landed a homer over the right fence.
 Long and Garry were the home teams best hitters, with Boultes and Burns doing the strongest sticking for the McCann cohorts. Only one error was made behind Blum. A catch of foul fly by Miller and the snappy work of Stow and Boultes in the Bridgeport inf1e1d headlined the de- fensive end of the exhibition.
 Paddy Green then took up the twirl-
 
 than the mayors. In the first Paddy passed Lied and after the latter had stolen second, Boultes sacrificed him to third. Bowman drew another pass and when McGamwelI walked the bases were choEed. Phillips paraded and Lied was forced across. Stow hit to Green and Bowman was out at the plate. Ahearn then doubling up the batter at first Holyoxe went Bridgeport one better in it's half. Long led off with pass and Garry got a hit through second. Miller bunted to McGamwell, but the latter dropped the ball when he tag ged Miller and the bases were load ed Stankard hit to Stow, who stop ped Garry at third on toss to Boultes, Long scoring on the out Dell hit to Blum and Miller was erased at third Edwards delivered a double to left scoring Stankard and sending Dell to third Dell was caught off thlro

CONNIE MACK IS
 GREAT ADMIRER
 OF RAY HEATING

The New York Globe has the fol lowing story about Ray Heating, who blanked the Athletics Wednesday:
 Ray Heating gave our club the best exhibition of pitching we have been up against since the opening of the American League season. said Connie Mack. manager of the Athlet- ics, as he was on his way home on Thursday. This young fellow is the first pitcher to start a game and fin ish 1t against my club during this championship season.
 ''He goes about his work like an old hand and has one of the best break ing spit balls I have ever looked at My players came to the bench after they were retired in one-two- three or der and told me that he had a lot of stuff and was the best pitcher they had batted against this season Mur- phy, Oldring, and Collins were the only players my club to hit him safely. Two of those hits were made in the first inning, and they were scra tches.
 ''I think Chance has a wonder in this fellow, and he is going to be a, hard pitcher to hit with the fine break and control he has on his spit ball. We have been hitting the ball hard all seasan, and it is a big feather in Keat- ing's cap to perform the way he did. He has the style about him that makes
 
 ing for a long time. He is cool and for a young fellow breaking in he is as good as they make them. He has great control of the spitball, which is a great deal in his favor.
 Giving credit where it is due, want to say that he completely baff1ed the Athletics when he shut them out 4 to O. Chance or any other manager never had such a promising. looking prospect
 The tall and conservative manager of the Athletics could not give a pitch CT better send off. Keating has won the only two games the Yankees have captured this season, and we might say that the same Heating has taken lot of gloom out of the camp.
 The fans of Philadelphia gave him a great hand as he left the ball grounds, as they have been accustomed to see ing pitcher after pitcher being sent to the sta ble.

.HEW HAVEN SELLS
 PITCHER E. FOSTER
Providence Likely to Turn Jen-
 sen Back to Elm City

President Cameron of the New Ha- ven Baseball club yesterday announc- ed the sale of Pitcher Ed Foster to the Charleston club of the South At lantic league, under optional agree ment. Foster pitched for the Elm City nine for four years, and finished with a record of 15 games won and 5 lost for percentage of .750.
 Foster did not report to Cameron this spring, but wrote letter to the effect that he would rather play in Charleston, which is his home town. Cameron compiled with his request, but kept a string on Big Ed, as he considers him too good pitcher to set loose. Foster, when in shape, is the equal of any pitcher in the cir cult, and is one of the few twirlers that depends wholly on the underhand style of delivery.
 Cameron also announced that waiv- CTS have been asked by Providence on Bill Jensen, and in the event of all the International League clubs waiv- ing claim to him, Jensen will return

PRINCETON REGATTA
 TO BE HELD MAY 1T
Yale Will Give Two Shells to Worces-
 ter High School.

Andrew Carnegie should be satisfied on May IT that his gift of a lake to Princeton was not wasted. On that day the Annapolis-C -Columbia-Pr Princeton regatta will be rowed on the artificial lake, as well as the novice races be- tween freshman crews. The regular freshman crew will not enter the spring regatta, which is an interclass contest, as plans for a freshman race with some other eight are at present under consideration.
 Three freshman crews will be form ed, any men who are not on the reg ular freshman eight being eligible.
 Yale is showing forethought not to speak of generosity, in giving two shells to the Worcester High School. Worcester has always shown up we'll on the water and in its love for the Ellis too. So it's very likely that Yale has only sown it's seeds wisely and may reap a harvest of good material for the Blue Navy.
