HEATING TWIRLS YANKEES
 TO VICTORY OVER MACKMEN
Local Boy Wins Fame by Tanning Baker
 in Pinch

Philadelphia, April 24-Ray Heating, the Yankees moist ball pitcher, held the Athletics to three scratch hits yes terday at Shibe Park, and admins
 tered the first shut-out of the season to the Mackmen by a score of to O. The young moundsman pitched the best ball that has been seen in this city this season, and looked to be worth all of the &, ,0O0 which New York Is reported to have paid for him,
 In the first inning, with one man out, Oldring bounced one at Midkiff which was too hot to handle, and Ed die Collins followed with a sharp bounder which Heating stopped but failed to hold Oldring was nailed stealing, but Collins was more success full, making a clean steal of second. Then Heating famed the great Baker. From this period on Keating was en- tire master of the situation and he went the full route, this being the first time this year that an opposing pitch CT has lasted through a full game against the Maclzmen.
 Collins in the first, McInnis in the fifth, Daley in the seventh, and Mur- phy in the eighth were the only run ners to get as far as second base. ana

none succeeded in reaching third Mur- phys single in the eighth was a bounder through the infieId which Heating and Hartzell just failed to touch.
 At several stages, Keating grew wild, but each time Chance left his position and spoke a few words to the youngster, and the latter settled down immediately. In the fifth he passed McInnis, and 'tStuffy'' reached second on Daley's sacrifice. Barry flied to Wobter, and then Manager Chance ordered the pitcher to pass Thomas to first. It proved wise judgment on the part of the 'P. L,'' for Bush was an easy strike-out victim on three pitched balls
 With Keating twirling in such mas terly fashion, the Yankees looked like a real ball club. They not only field ed perfectly but played a spectacular game, accepting several difficult chances which might have resulted in runs. In the fourth McKechnie ran into short right field and captured a fly from Collins which was a, brilliant bit of fielding. and in the seventh Cree caught a. liner from A1cInnis' bat which robbed the batsman of an extra base. hit.

YOUNG SHUGRUE WINS
 FROM JOHNNY LORE

Young Shugruue won a desperately contested ten-round battle from John ny Lore at the St. Nicholas A. C.. New York, last night. The winner almost finished his man in the ninth session.
 He started Lore on his way in this period with a snappy left hook to the jaw, dropping Johnny for the count of nine. Just before the bell rang Shugrue nearly sent Lore through the ropes. Lore received a severe beating but showed wonderful ability to take punishment and come back strong
 It was a fairly even battle up to the ninth period. Both boys showed ex- ceptional speed and clever execution Lore landed the most damaging blows while Shugrue held the honors even by neat left hand work.

WHAT ABOUT THIS HIT
 THAT TRAVELLED SEQ FEET?

Cincinnati, April 24-Several papers have been debating to the longest hit ever made in any game. Jokes about hits that traveIed 4,O00 miles, the ball falling on a car bound from Boston to California, are, of course, in order but there have been some noble wallops, judged by the feet they covered before they lit.
 Many of the fattest hits have never been measured, as they passed over fences and were lost to view. Abso- Iutely the longest hit of any kind that many ever saw was made in Chicago in 1888. The batter was Irwin Me DowelI, a High school player who could have been a big 1eaguer if he hadn't been rich and had to tend to business, and the pitcher was Willie McGiI, afterward famous in fast com pany.
 That hit-a home run on an open fieId-trave1ed on powerful wind, and seemed to gain speed as it travelled. Three throws were needed to take it back into the diamond and the dis tance, paced off by several specta- tors, was approximately 690 feet.

MACK DECLARES
 THERE'S NO TRUST
Athletics Manager Says Probe Will Result in Lower Salaries
 for Players

Philadelphia, Penn. April 24-"If any Congressional Investigating Committee concludes that we are trust I firmly believe that before three years are over players will be drawing one-half of the salaries they are today-even less, in fact than that. The player is the man who will be hit. It can't be the owners
 So declared Connie Mack, manager and half-owner of the Athletics when the Gallagher resolution was placed before him, and he was asked for his opinion. Continuing, Mack said:
 There's no such thing as a baseball trust If there was you wouldn't find some airge cities having such poor teams as they have at the present time, while smaller cities. Detroit for example, have organizations that are far better.
 ''AIl of us are out for ourselves only. That Is absolute. We help each oth- CT no more than one shoemaker helps his competing neighbor shoemaker. want it for ourselves.
 .ssI've always felt this way with re- gard to trusts. They pay their em- Yloyes certain definite salaries. They always produce a certain definite Qual- 1ty of goods It isn't in baseball. Players get every penny they are worth. and almost always consider ably more than they are worth, for the wise manager finds that to get the tinually encourage him in | salary way
 'sIn my opinion. there'1l be no trou- ble at all in disprovinE to Congress or to any one else the existence of @ baseball trust"

WANT BOXING WEIGHTS
 STANDARDIZED NOW

The New York Athletic Commission. through it's Secretary MT. J. Charles Harvey Is trying to. enlist the sup port and endorsement Of Lord Lons- dale in an effort to bring about an international standardization of box ing weights and Harvey has request ed Freddie Welsh, the lightweight to communicate with his Lordship, Isonsdale has taken quite an interest in Weish's career and has written to him upon numerous occasions upon matters relative to ring affairs. So when Harvey asked Welsh to conn muntcate with Lsonsdale, Freddie wrote the following letter:
 My Lord:
 I have been requested by MT. Chas J. Harvey, the Secretary Of the New York Athletic Commission, whose let ter herewith enclose. to write to ask if your Lordship will graciously lend your assistance to a movement, which has been started by the Commission, to bring about an international stan dardization of the different weights which now govern championship box known interest In the art of self de- fenSe and the fact that you are rec ogni1ed throughout the world as the highest authority upon such matters combine to make your opinion of in calcuble value. In this, the Empire State of the United States of Ameri- ca. professional boxing is governed and regulated by a State Commission whose powers have been granted by the State Legislature and a wonder full amount of good has been accom- pIished by the Commission in the way Discriminating unfair tactics upon the part of both boxers and club man agers
 If as prominent a patron of the sport as your Lordship could spare a little lime for this cause not only would Great Britain and America come to an amfcable agreement about the stan dardization of boxing weights but all other matters governing this sport could be settled and recognized uni vensally. With your Lordshtp at the head of such a movement the sport of boxing can be placed upon footing of cleanliness and true 6portsm anship unheard of in the past.
 Yours most respectfully,
 FRED WELSH.
 P. S.-I enclose herewith copy of the bylaws which contain a list of the weights as adopted by the Com mission.
 The Commissions scale of weights is: Paper 108, Bantam 115, Feather 125, Light 135, We1ter 1A5, Middle 15S. Com mission 175. -Heavy-an over ITS. The English scale is: Fly 112, Bantam 11s, Fea ther 126, Light 135, Welter 147, Middle 16O, Heavy.-au over 16e.

Although long absent from his native heath although, as a matter of fact, the heath crop is mighty small in Mani toba-Russell still retains a fondness for the land of his birth, and to start som ething with him it is only neces- sary to cast asparagus on Winnipeg CT it's enVirons.
 Ford began playing professional
 ball with Cedar Rapids, Ia., in the
 Three-I, back in 1905, and after two Eseasons went to Atlanta, in the South
 ern, where he also remained two years. In 1909 he was purchased by the New York Americans. but was turned over to Jersey City. in the Eastern. In 1910 the Highlanders re- called him, and in his first year in fast company he registered twenty six victories against only six defeats. In 1911 he had twenty-two wins and just half as many defeats ehaIked against him.
 Last year was a bad one for Ford, for he got only thirteen victories as against twenty-one defeats. Despite [I11S OSAo 8aOW1nSs EOTO SG414 A6S IL AOS% of admirers who believe he is about the greatest ever. He has brains, a spitbal1 that he can twist either way, a hot one with hop, slow one that has puzzled a lot of batters, good manners, good cora1s, and a new and charming wife to cheer him on to vic tory. If. all these fail, why Ford has saved enough coin to enable him to go back to Manitoba and buy a good wheat farm. That contingency is remote, however, and it is probable that Ford will continue a top-liner in the big show for number of years to come.
 One of the most sensational finishes to big league game in the history of the sport marked the ninth inning of a contest between Baltimore and Boston nineteen years ago to-day. At the beginning of the ninth the score stood: Boston 3, Baltimore 1. All the runs the Orioles were able to get over during the final inning, tota1ed up to only fourteen--at which point they got tired and quit. That was rec ord mum Der of runs for one inning. i The record for the greatest number of runs in a big league game has stood l since 1882, when 35 Chicagoans made l the circuit in contest with Cleveland. |
