CHANGE TO CUT
 PITCHING STAFF

Hamilton, Bermuda, March 18-- From now on the fur will begin to fly in earnest on this magic island. Peerless Leader Chance has decided his Regular High1anders are now far enough advanced to give a good ac- count of themselves in actual combat, and they were pftted against Larry Schlafly's Skeeters today.
 A guess at the lineup which faces the Skeeters today is: Young, second base; Daniels, centref1e1d; Lelivelt, right field; Chance or Sterrett, first base; Derrick, shortstop, and Swee- ney catcher. Chance has announced Ford and Warhop to pitch for the Highlanders.
 Chance will have a hard time in deciding which of his pitchers to re- tain and which to let go. He has ten here, and at least two of them must go, but as the entire lot is so promising he does not know where to apply the knife.
 Chance says in all his experience as a manager he never saw five more promising recruits than Schulz, Keat- ing, Hoff, Green and Davis. The five veterans-Ford, Fisher, Caldwell, Mo Conneu and Warhop-are all certain to be retained, and the question be- fore Chance is which of the newcom- CTS will help his team the most.
 George Davis. who was with Vol son looks good enough to stick in any league. He has improved won derfully this spring, while big things are also expected of Heating. The club invested a pretty penny in this big spitballer, 1t is not likely he will be turned back before he gets every opportunity to show his worth.

The Cor sairs won by a score of to 3.
 The game, which was the first ot a nine-game series, drew a large crowd, and there was much interest in the contest. A balmy spring day helped 10 swell the crowd. The game was we'll played for this early in the sea- ton, only one error being made in the game, and that misplay was made by .he vfctors. Though the Pittsburghs won, they were outhit two to one by their American League rivals. Wild ness of the Boston pitchers helped the Pirates to their runs.
 Bedient, a hero of the Worlds Ser les last fall, pitched the first three Innings for the Red Sox and did not permit a hit. Leonard and Foster, two recruits finished on the mound for Boston, and the Pirates made two runs off each.
 The Worlds Champions hit both Adams and Robinson freely, but their hits were scattered. Boston also show ed faster work in the field. The score:
 R. H. B. Boston ...1o110 OOoo-s O Pittsburgh ..O0 0 o g 0 o2E4 l Batter1es-Bedient, Leonards- Foster and Cady and Carrigan; Adams, Rob- lnson and Kelly and Gibson.

 It is not certain that the manage ment will continue its present policy throughout the coaching season; but during the past week this has been the case
 The crew work for the past few weeks has been progressing rapidly With the exception of only a small number of days, the men have been continually on the water. Yale being one of the few colleges in the cOuu- try that has done this; Penusy1vanla, Harvard and Cornell are the others. Both squads have resolved tbemGelveS into rather definite shape, as the best men on each are already rowing In the same boat. The freshmen, under the instruction of Coach Acheson. one of last years freshmen crew, haVs been worked hard in the eight and pair-oared shells for the races at New London this spring; the varsity have confinad it's attention almost eX- cIusively to the latter type Of craft
 Training table for both the fresh man and varsity crews is to be begun the early part of the week of March 27 Some of the most promising of the candidates will be retained at the college during the Easter vacation which begins this Wednesday. Thi9 ig to prevent them from getting out of trim. which would necessifate the losn of several weeks after their return Coach Hartman seems very WoS pleased with the prospects.

FAKE BOXING WON'T
 BE ALLOWED IN PIE NINA

Harrisburg, Pa, March 1s-Ten round boxing bouts under the super vision of a State athletic board will be legalized in this State if a bill in troduced in the House of Representa- tives here last night becomes a law. The bill provides for commission of five members to be appointed by the Governor within 30 days after the passage of the act. They would have power to subpoena witnesses when Investigating any athletic event and would have exclusive control over all boxing and Sparring matches. No boxing or Sparring ma bch or exhibi- ton could be for more than 10 rounds and contestants would have to wear gloves of at least eight ounces in weight.
 Each club authorized to give sparr- ing matches would have to be license ed by the commission and file a bona with the auditor general. A prov1s- ion is made for the payment to the State treasurer for a tax of per cent. of the gross receipts of each ex- hibition.
 For fake boxing a boxer is disQuali- fled from boxing for six months. A second offense means disqualification for all time in the State.

CALLAHAN IS STILL GOOD IN SPITE OF HIS
 MANY YEARS IN GAME

James J. Callahan, manager of the White Sox, is thirty-nine years young to-day, having arrived in this world by way of Fitchburg, Mass, on March IS, 1874, just a day too late to take part in the celebration of St Patrick's Day. Jimmy recently piloted $360,- 900 worth of baseball players to the Pacific coast-at least, President Com iskey has his men insured for that amount At the close of the season Jimmy expects to tour the world with his gallant b'ys, in company with Mis- ter McGraw and his Giants.
 Manager Callahan began playing ball twenty years ago with the Pep perell, Mass, semi-pros. The Phil lies gave him a try-out in 1894, but sent him to Springfield, in the Eastern Both Pittsburgh and Kansas City drafted him, but he was awarded to the Missouri town, where he remained a year, playing outfieId as well as pitching. For the next four years he pitched for the Chicago Cubs. In 1901 he joined the White Sox as twirler. His arm began to go bad in 1902 and he was sent to the outf1eld. In 1903 he was made manager and sent himself to third base. He resign ed the managership in 1904, but con- tinued with the White Sox as an out fielder until 1905, when he flew the coop and became manager of an inde- p6nQ6nC team III the w AAOy SACy" F UT five seasons Jimmy remained an out law, but returied to the White Sox in 1911, and was appointed manager last year. Despite his great age-which is all the more apparent when it is remembered that Jimmy was Cub in the old Cap. Anson days-Mister Cal Iahan is still an active patriarch, and doesn't need any cane to aid his To- comotion He is firmly convinced that baseball gets faster and better every year, and has no use for the croakings of the venerable fans who talk of the good old days, when there were real bali players in the game He loves the game and declares that when he gets the hook as player and manager, he intends to get job as groundkeep- CT, and after that to spend his second childhood as bat-boy and mascot.

Veteran PostWomen.
From the London Chronicle

FROM the London Chronicle.
The records of the veteran postwomen
should be recalled along with those of
the poStmiStreSSeS. In 1897 Nanny
Loughor of Meath, aged ninety-one or
ninety-two. was still carrying the post
daily between Meath and Swansea, as
she had been doing for forty-five years.
1t was calculated that she had walked
well over 10000 miles. But even this
was far outdone by Mary Jackson of
Bilston, who on her rounds to Ettings-
hall and Princes End must have totaled
a quarter of million of miles. From
1919 to 1870 she missed only four days.
and those were Sundays, when delivery
was experimentally suspended. Her own
view was that those who wanted to re-
lieve her OF Sunday duty were "a pack
of fools"
