STOW'S BRILLIANT FIELDING
 HELPS BRIDGEPORT TEAM WIN
Jake BouItes Also Stars in Sensational vc-
 tory Over PirsfieId ,,

Pittsfield, May 3.-P1aying it's sec ond home game of the season, Pitts field yesterday afternoon dropped the contest to Bridgeport, 5sto 1, because Bobby Stow nipped two rallies in the around the shortfieId. Stow was by far the biggest man on the playing field and to him alone do the Flee tries owe their defeat.
 When the Electrics were raIIying n the eighth and with two on bases, Stow stabbed with his bare hand Wolfe's screeching grounder that was Boultes,- cutting Cough down when everything looked rosy Again in the ninth with Martin on third, Gaigen bored liner over Slows head, but the star mounted the air and hauled it down with his g1oved hand, cutting off the second rally by the home boys.
 Fortune smiled on Bridgeport at every turn apparently. In the third in ming Si1zer doubled to left, the ball being taken by the wind and carried out of Wo1fe's reach. Russell b1azed grounder at Miller, who was unable to get back at first. The chief shot the ball over to third while off his bal ance, making a poor throw and allow ing Silzer to puncture the platter.
 Again in the fifth Dame Fortune had her say. With one down, Yount was safe on a choice. Wallace whaled the horsehide to left, and again it took a. big zoutshoot. Yount scoring and Wallace making tfird base on the throw to the plate. Boultes belted the pill to right for a pair of sacks and the damage of the afternoon was completed.
 In the first inning neither side reached first base. but in the second McGamwen opened with 8 hit. Phil lips hit into a double play, Burton to Miller, and Stow couldn't hit beyond the pitcher. Pittsfield went right at Yount who walked Wolfe as start. CT. Miller came across with a single to center on the hit and run signal and Martin bunted safely to the pitch CT. Despite this start the locals couldn't count, because Burton pop ped to Bou1tes, .Ryerson famed and Knapp lifted a fly to right
 The visitors fifth brought two runs. Sf1zer flied to Cough and Russell singled just out of Bakers reach. Yount put down a grounder to Bur- ton, who tagged second, forcing Rus sell. Wallace doubled to left, the ball curving out of Wolfe's reach, and Yount scored. Wallace took third on

M'CARTY DOESN'T
 SEEM TO DELIVER
Cowpuncher Has Not the Stuff That Makes Champion.

Evidently the germ of pugilistic gen. jus does not Turk in Luther McCarty's system, for he still gives no indication of being the long sought white hope. He has had plenty of time to learn something of the art of fisticuffs but what improvement he has shown is no more than could be expected in any strong. healthy athlete who has the time to devote to fistic pursuits. :. The something different that makes champions is not in him.
 Now that McCarty's status has been fixed for some time to come, attention will be directed to Jess Willard, the six foot six inch giant, who is matched to meet Gunboat Smith at San Fran cisco this month. Willard looks to be the last resource in the campaign to develop a real white hope. If he. too, fails. the sitution will be practically the same as when the hunt first be- gan.
 Fortunately. Willard is the most promising of the lot. He has yet. to with something of Gunboat Smiths ef- fectiveness; box better than McCarty or any of the others, and has a tre- mendous advantage in physical con struction. He has shown the best form of all the white hopes that have appeared in New York, and now that he has joined forces with real live manager he can be expected to jump to the front.
 The one doubtful point about Willard is his mental attitude. He is known to be eccentric, and whether he has the real fighting instinct remains to be shown. If this question is answer ed satisfactorily he looks like the near est approach to the long sought white champion yet discovered.
 No doubt Gunboat will put W1l1ard's S gameness to a fitting test If Willard can keep his nerve and retain his form while under. fire from the Gunboats batteries he can be counted game enough for all practical purposes.
 The bout between this pair should come near settling who is to lead the band in the white hope brigade. Me Carty may raise some purely verbal objections, but as he has seen fit to dodge both men his protests will not count for much.
 T can knock McCarty out in four or five 'rounds,'' opines Smith, who watched last Wednesday nights affair with his fighting blood at boiling point. 'I am willing to bet some

thing that I could put either one of them to sleep in less than ten rounds. watched the fight through a micro scope, and all got was encourage ment," was Gunboat,s conclusion.
 a Perhaps Mecarty will be moved to take up the gage Of battle thus thrown down, but the chances are, he means. to lose himself in the wilds of come.
 However, <5he will have to meet the winner of the WdlIard-Smith bout or hoist the white flag once more If he chooses the latter course McCarty' S pretentions to titular honors will col lapse of their own weight

the heave to the plate. Bou1tes rap ped a double to right and Wallace romped home. Bowman walked, but McGamweH lifted one to Martin for the third out
 Pittsfie1d's only mark in the run column came in the sixth. Baker, first up, was thrown out by Bowman. Cough singled to center and F-fnnegan hit safely into the same territory, Cough making third. Wolfe singled center, Cough scoring. Miller beat out hit to Stow, who was bothered by Finnegan passing in front of him, and the sacks were crowded with only one gone. Russell picked Finnegan off third by a fine throw to Boultes, who, by the way, robbed Pittsfield of at least two hits during the struggle Martin then famed. Neither side was able to do anything4 in the seventh. The score:

he put up a brave battle and fought
 as hard as his strength and stamina
 would allow, but after that he began to weaken under the steady fire from Fommy's gloved hands and toward the
 latter part of the contest. from the sixteenth round until the end st was
 only his dogged determination and courage that carried him to the end. He was badly beaten by boy who showed more stamina more cIeVerness and zaggressiv Ad was there with his o1d-time courage and all that
 but his wonderful power of reeupera- ton, evidenced in former battles, was fissing. It meant the passing of a wonderful little fighter.
 It was in Milwaukee that Wo1gast got his first start. The little fellow at that time weighed under I 22 pounds but he was willing to meet any one 10 pounds heavier, just to get ths chance. One day he came into my office and said; Say can't you get me- bout with anyone here for a. .prelinn, semi or windup- bar ncus and will meet a lightweight if you say the word. - can beat all these fel< lows around here anywhere near my weight" Ad was .given the chance and he made good from the jump- That was in 1908 and shortly after wards, after having about 10 bouts around Milwaukee. he headed for the Pacific coast His first battle with Danny Webster. then well thought Of. proved a win by the knockout route in IS rounds and it put him in right with Tom McCarey. His chance came when he met Battling Nelson Feb 22, 1910, for he put up great battle and gave away weight, too. winning the title after 40 rounds of terrific battling. He held the championship just two years and eight months, los ing to Willie Ritchie last Novem ber after hard contest of Is rounds. Ad is well fixed financially, so he need not worry about the future. He seldom weighed over 128 to 1sO pounds when in shape and in nearly all his bat ties gave away weight He must also be given credit for meeting any light weight the matchmakers selected.

His most endearing trait, aside from his me chanical ability, his supreme nerve filling the bases in the heat of the con f7ict being his long suit, one gathers from watching him.

WHY BIRMINGHAM
 PLAYER DIDN'T COACH
Italian shortstop Was Opera Singer in
 Winter And Saved His Voice.
Osporttng NeRs.l


 On the Birmingham team Of the Southern League is an active little Italian, a hustler, a fine batsman, a grand ball player in every way but one. He is too quiet in his speech. While he is the 1iveIiest wire you ever saw in his actions, he hasn't a loud word to say. Even when the umpire stings him, he doesn't yelp-occasion- ally opens his mouth, starts a sqliawl, and then suddenly shuts his face again.
 Waffle Mayer, the Cincinnati boy now catching for Birmingham, round ed the Italian up few days ago, and asked him why in bIazes he didn't let out g. shriek when wronged by the umpire, Or when he ought to encour- age his fellow players.
 -'Well,'' explained the quiet one, in a soft, sweet tone, fsI have my reasons Tn the winter time am a tenor sin ger, and am studying grand opera-in fact hope to appear at the Metro politan Opera House in a year or, two. Naturally, I must take the greatest care of my voice-and if I were ever to allow myself to below or rave I'd run the risk of running my vocal cords forever! Believe me, it's an awful strain, this thing of self-enforced si- Ience, but my future depends upon 1t, and there you are!''
 But-say-couldn't he sing itf Couldn't he go something like this: %'La Ia, Ia-ah ha-Signor Umpah, unl- pah, umpah-you are, are, are you are are area robbah, obbah, a robbah and thief, tef, ief?'' Why not?
