GIANTS TROUNCE
 MOBILE BALL TEAM
Demaree and Marquard Have No Trouble Holding Southerners
 in Check

Mobile, Ala, March 31-But for Big Bill Jacobsen getting the sun in his eyes and muffing a fly ball the Giants would have scored a shut-out yester- day afternoon in their last game with the Mobile team The Giants cashed a collection of sixteen hits for ten runs and generally behaved like champions Mobiles only run resulted from Jacob sens excusable error, which was the only break in a spectacular defense of Al Demaree and Rube Marquard.
 After a rainy Saturday the weather turned clear and warm, and the larg- est crowd of the exhibition trip report ed in Monroe park to see Jacobsen and Demaree, former Mobile favorites, in action with the big 1eaguers. The announcement that Rube MarQuard would hurl a few innings was an added attraction. The attendance was more than 1000, and so crowded were the bleachers that an overflow thronsL oc- cupied the field back of third base.
 Demaree and Jacobsen got 9 great reception, and the Giants were ire Quently appIauded for their plays by the friendly crowd. Demaree lived up to his reputation as a shut-out spec ialist by b1anking the Sea Gulls in the first five innings. He limited them to three widely distributed singles.
 Marquard permitted a pair of hits in the last four innings and did not de- serve to be scored on, although he walked the runner who dashed over the plate on Jacobsen's huff.
 Demaree exhibited the same good control and judgment that featured his shut-out of the Giants here a year ago, He depended on his fielders, striking out only two men. Shafer, Herzog and Doyle starred in Demaree's spport and only one runner advanced as far as second base while he occupied the trenches
 Bill Campbell, Ieft-hander, who once pitched for the Cincinnati Reds, stant- ed against Demaree. He quit after four innings, when McGraw's right-hand- ed batting order had landed on him for ten hits and seven runs. A triple by Lary Doyle in the first inning and a home run by Herzog in the fourth were the blows that counted most in the scoring returns.
 Heine Berger, formerly a member of the Cleveland team, held the Giants to six hits and three runs in the last five rounds. Berger was pitching for Clev- eIand when MarQuard was playing on the corner lots in that city, and he still is a fair performer.

JIM CALLAHAN TO
 QUIT ACTIVE SERVICE
Chicago American Leader Thinks He Can Do Better As Bench
 Manager.

Oakland, Cal, March 31.-While James J. Callahan has declined to ad- init that he will manage the Chicago White Sox from the bench this season, it looks more and more as if that is what will come about.
 A year ago, when the Sox were training at Waco, Tex, no one in the squad worked harder to get into phy- sical condition than Callahan. This year there has been a decided change
 The manager has practiced with the men almost every day, but not with the vim he showed a year ago. He is standing aside and directing this spring. where year ago he was right in the thick of it every day
 At the present time it looks as if the outfie1d will be well taken care of without the aid of the manager. It seems he can be of greater service to the team by directing things from the bench and the coaching lines than by playing his old position in left field.

YANKEES READY
 TO LEAVE BERMUDA
Expect to Have Practice on Polo Grounds Next Thursday
 Afternoon

Hamilton. Bermuda. March S1-A new and permanent training grounds for the New York Americans may be decided upon in the near future, ac- rording to an announcement made here yesterday by Business Manager Arthur Irwin who was instrumental in secur- Ing the Hamilton cricket grounds for this years training. The park under consideration is at Somerset, twelve miles across the bay, and Irwin has just returned to Hamilton after a thorough inspection of the field.
 As has been the case since the Yan- kees arrived here a few weeks ago Sunday was a day of rest for most of the players But the battery men did not have the easy time that they have unable to do any work Saturday, so Manager Chance gave orders for light practice for the pitchers and cdtchers.
 The training season here ends today with a game between the Regulars and the Yanigans. Both Chance and Chase will be in the game for the Reg uIarS At the close of the game the players will begin to pack their goods for the homeward trip. They will leave here Tuesday morning at 10 o. clock on the Arcadian and will arrive in New York early Thursday morning. If the weather permits they will prob ably have a practice game at the Polo Grounds on Thursday afternoon.

YALE FOOTBALL PRACTICE

Coach Jones Worried About Quanerbacks and
 Candidates Will Be Drilled

Captain Ketcham of the Yale eleven has announced that he will issue a call for football candidates this Wed neSday or Thursday. Until then the new method of coaching devised by Coach Howard Jones will not be made known, but it is understood that the system is more complex than any re- gently in vogue with the Ellis.
 Jones has proved himself a man of resources and one absolutely unwilI- ing to follow a rule merely because it is precedent. Consequently his promise for revolutionary reform is considered to have much interest. Rumor has it that the head Of Yale's men will appoint 8 paid freshman coach for next fall.
 A feature of the coming football sea son will be the presence on the gridiron of Coach Billy Bull, whose

BLACK CHAMPION HAS
 HAD MUCH BAD LUCK

Jack Johnson, who celebrated his thirty-fifth birthday yesterday, has recently suffered many misfortunes, thanks to his own escapades, indis- cretions and general devilishness. ''The sIings and arrows of outrageous fortune" have always made targets of negro boxers. The first of the black fighters, Virginia man who went over to England to fight when the last century was young, was jockeyed out of the title by a raw decision. Joe Wa1cott, known as the Barbados Demon and the "Giant Killer,'' who held the worlds welter- weight title from 1901 to 1904, lost his meal ticket by accidentally putting a bullet through his right mitt. Joe was attending a negro party and was showing off his gun, which, of course, wasn't loaded. When he pulled the trigger the bullet went through his hand and into the body of another colored man, killing the latter in stantly. After that Joe wasn't much good as ascrapper Incidentally, it was an orgy in PhiladeIphia's Little Africa which sent Jack Blackburn to prison, and deprived him of a good chance to cop the midd1eweight title. George Dixon, who won the feather weight title from Cal Mccarthy and defended it against Jack Ske1ly and other good boys, was a talented ne gro. He died in poverty. Peter Jack son, the great colored heavyweight, might have defeated Corbett in the famous sixty-one round draw if he hadn't suffered serious injury in be- ing thrown from a buggy a short time before the battle. Peter finished his ring career with barely enough money to take him home to Australia to die Joe Cans, once lightweight champion, lost most of his money in gambling 2 and died of tuberculosis. Hank Grif- fin, the nulatto heavyweight who won a thousand by staying four rounds with Jeffries, made a living develop ing the muscles of University of Mich igan students after his retirement from the ring. Hank died some time ago.
 Johnson was born in Galveston Tex. Three of the greatest color ed boxers were born on British soil

quire where that organization might flourish. There was mild amusement at the strangers bashful awkward ness. So during the second days ses- sion there was a general smile of good natured rfdicu1e when he arose in his seat to address the chair. But the smile came off in a hurry.
 It wasn't a boob, but brilliant and logical ta1ker whose rich southern draw1 and dry humor appealed at once to his audience. Thereafter no other delegate was listened to with greater attention or respect. Those who had laughed hastened to get acquainted and they learned the strangers name was W. S. Neal.
 Yes. he was the new president of the Louisville club of the American Association, but only for few months. Since that convention he has become recognized as one of the big men in the game. Neal is typical Blue Grass sportsman which means the best in the world.
