 Bridgeport Pitchers Weak

ing department. Blum has pitched we'll in all except one game but Sny- der is suffering from a sore arm and so is Tuckey. Sager was hurt just as he was going fine. -RobertailIe is ex- pected to be a big help but from the press box it looks as if Manager Me- Cam will have to get at least one crack boxman if he expects to stay in the first division.
 Hartford has scrappy team. The Senators have 8 good inf1eld and a fair outfieId. All the men are fast Powers and Geist are the best of the lot. Still Hartford looks like a first division bet right now.
 On paper Springfield appears to be immense but the hurting departm ent is nothing remarkable and the Ponies have not been pulling together. A little more ginger would help.
 Sam Kennedy Is up against a hard problem in Waterbury. He has a bunch of veterans, including several slow men. Their fielding has been cratic and lately the pitchers have gone back. Kennedy is bound to have a. winner, though, and will probably finish among the leaders.
 Holyoke has a number of slow rTxe- ners and a weak outfieId but has three first class pitchers in Daniels, Temple and Swormstedt- The Papermal1ers will bother all corners, although they may not finish very high.
 At the start it appeared as if Pitts field would never go anywhere but down. Jack Teller has strengthened his flinging corps by the addition of Chic Evans and Barrenkan1p and Eddie Bridges has helped out behind the bat. Another. good pitcher and Ptttsfeld will give any of them a bat tie.
 Without trying to call the t1Irn if might be said that just at present, New Haven, New London and Bridge port look like contenders for the bunt- ing.

BIG COLLEGE RACE
 ON CHARLES RIVER

Cambridge, Mass, May 10-The var eity crews of Princeton, Uuniversity of Pennsylvania and Harvard will match their aquatic strength and oarsman- ship on the Charles river basin, late today. The schedule called for a start at 5 o'clock. The race opens the in tercollegtate rowing season and is ar ranged to give the crews practice for the longer contests at New London and Poughkeepsie, six weeks hence.
 It will be the first time that the crews of three universities have met at rowing for many years although Princeton gave Harvard a hard fight over the same course, last year, when both were defeated by Cornell In drawing for positions, Pennsylvania secured the course nearest the Bos- ton sea wall considered the best of the three, with Harvard in the middle and Princeton on the Cambridge side.

 was asked of Walter Johnson in the course of a chat pertaining, quite nat urally, to baseball and to pennant prospects Johnson, with character istfc modesty, sought, to sidestep the question by shifting the subject from baseball to the weather
 But when pressed for an answer his explanation was that he worked just as hard in the winter as in the sum- mer, although along somewhat differ ent lines. T was born on a farm 9 said Johnson, t'and love the life. A good many ballplayers don't, but do When the baseball season is over [ go back to our farm out in Kansas and work on the place right through the winter, just like any of the men, I get enough of the big towns and the bright lights during the summer, and am glad to get back to the farm, and to farm work just as soon as can. And I always hate to come back east every spring to begin playing baseball again
 .'I have often said it, and no one has ever disputed me, that I work harder every winter than any other ballplayer. The result is that in the spring lam just as hard as I was in thefall. Instead of hanging around hotels and poolrooms in some big city, like so many players do I am out on the farm. getting up every morning before light, and going out and help ing feed the stock.
 t'Then come back to the house for breakfast, have good, healthy appe- tites and eat accordingly. After that there is a lot more work to be done around the place. put in a good hard day every day in the week, and by the time night comes I am ready to turn in early, for I know that the next morning must get up just asI early and start out again, lantern in hand, sometimes with the thermome- ter way down below zero. for we have it cold out our way lots of the time during the winter.
 ''I don't do it so much because have to, as because like to, and I haven't run across any ba1lplayer with whom I would swap places during the off season.

Umpire Leary, about whom there has been so much contention, handed in his resignation to President O'Rourke of the Eastern association today. He said he knew some of the club owners were sore at him and rather than cause any further trouble he would resign. President Ed Bar row of the International League has heard Of Leary's work and had prom fsed to give him a chance.
 In Leary's place the President hopes to secure Monte Cross, the old Phil adelphfa infie1der. Cross has been um- piring college games and has done well. He wrote the president last week, asking for job and was i'm structed to report Monday if he could He promised to let the boss know If he could arrange to go to work by that time.

SPORTOGRAPHY

Coney Island was the most impor- tant place on the map thirteen years ago today, for it was on May H. 1900, that Jim Jefrries and Jim Corbett set tied their argument at that place. The champion put the soportfc kibosh on the pompadoured ex-champion in the twenty-third round. Three years later Corbett tried it again at San Francisco, and on that occasion lasted only ten rounds.
 Edward Grant Barrow, president of the International League, will eele- brate his forty-dft1a birthday today. Forty.-ave isn't so very old, but MT. Barrow has had as much experience and as many ups and downs-or, rath- er downs and ups because Ed always finished up-as most centenar1anS. He was born i'm Springfield, Ill, but his mature years have been spent in the East as newspaper man, fight pro- moter manufacturer, baseball pro rnoter and a few other things. TO Barrow belongs the credit of dfscov- ering Hans Wagner. The great Hans had played a little with aSteapenVlltEe' O.. and Warren, aOss when he- became the property of the Pittsburgh club Barrow though he saw the raw ma teriaI of great player in the clumsy and ungainly Dutchman, and asked tte Pirate management what they
 
 the Pirates, thereupon presented Wag- ner to Barrow as a free gift. Barrow was then the manager of the Pater- son, N. J., club in the Atlantic League. and under his direction the Flying Dutchrnan developed into a wonder. Hans stayed with Paterson two sea- sons, and Pittsburgh tried to buy him back, but Barrow had a better offer from Louisville, then in the National League, so Honus broke into fast company with Fred Clarke's Colonels. Barrow has a reputation as a. shrewd judge of baseball players, and he cer- tainlyr made good when he picked Hans Wagner to win.
