Special to The Farmer.)

Worcester, Mass, April 19-Good hit l ting aided by many uncalled for er-
 TOTS on the part Of Jesse Burkett's aggregation of ball tossers, along with
 the wtIdness of Stevenson, his CIin- ton southpaw, gave yesterdays exhi- bition game to Bridgeport by to 8. The Eastern Leaguers started the good work in the opening inning of the bat tie by touching up the Clinton south paw for four hits, which with a wild pitch and a base on balls allowed them
 to ship four of their number across
 the home plate, while the Worcester team managed to score half the total
 through an error of Selzer, 8 hard drive to center and the walking of Stewart.
 But three of the Bridgeport team went to the plate in the second and third sections of the exhibition, which was the case with Burkett's stick art ists, with the exception of the latter inning, when Curry became wild, hit one of the local players, allowed two to stroll to first and was touched for as many hits, giving the Worcester ties a chance to score four runs, and the lead in the battle.
 In the fourth the Connecticut visit ors again found Stevenson and sent five Of their team across the marble slab, aided in doing so materially by more errors on the part of Burkett's shining lights. Snyder relieved Curry in the following inning and managed to hold the local players until the end of the sixth, when he was replaced by Tuckey, whom Burkett's followers found for enough hits to net them a run in each of the next two sections of the contest, but not enough to claim victory over their Bridgeport friends
 Stevenson quieted down after the fourth and allowed but two hits in the two last innings he pitched, while Sul- livan, who replaced him on the mound, proved somewhat of a puzzle to the Bridgeport visitors, allowing Bowman the only slap at the ball during the remainder of the game, and claiming four of the Connecticuters as his vic tins.
 Both Curry and Tuckey pitched a good game, as did Snyder as long as he held down the mound, and all three were more than well supported by the team in general throughout the nine

enforced likeness, so that when a truce was patched up, and the McCarty bat tie arranged little time was left for training purposes. At least 2ot suff1- ctenT time to enable Palzer to get back into the form he had shown dur Ing the earlier part of his career.
 Palzers return should stir things up around here. He is not afraid to fight anyone at any time. In that Al differs from the majority of hopes" He may not be the best of the lot, but he is the most willing and, properly train ed, I believe would give 9 good ac- count of himself with McCarty, Will lard or Smith.
 I see that Georges Carpentier, the French boxer, called off his match with Frank Klaus. From a sporting standpoint 1t Is just as we'll Klaus had once demonstrated superiority ov CT the youthful Frenchman, and would undoubtedly have repeated. While it knocks the Pittsburgh boxer out of chance to gather nice purse. Am erican fight followers are glad that Frank is ''in our midst once more. His presence is absolutely essential to the settlement of the middleweight championship. A match between Mo Goorty and Klaus will about deter mine the matter to the satisfaction of the fans.

SWINGS INDIAN
 CLUBS 100 HOURS
Tom Burrows, Australian Attn Iete, Establishes New Record
 in London

London, April 19.-Tom Burrows an Australian alI-around athlete, completed the task at A1dershot at 10 o'clock last night of swinging ln- dian clubs for 100 hours without a rest and then went on swinging mer- rily the clubs, which weighed 31 pounds 6 ounces each, and kept them going at a minimum rate of 80 revO- lutions per minute.
 Burrows decided to continue be- yond the time of his self-imposed task because he had heard since he start ed on Monday there was an unauthen- ticated record of 112 hours by some one, presumably an Australian.
 Although I felt a little drowsy at 4 o'clock in the morning." he said, 'I soon pulled myself round, and es- pecialIy when the band played my clubs seemed to swing rhythmically to the music" The idea of the band originated with the managers of the performers, who calculated that the music would be helpful.

 RACING TROPHIES
Foreign Entries at Indian apolis Endanger Emb1ems
 Belonging Here

Indianapolis, April 19-With the fla nous Speedway trophies again to be contended for by the participants in the third annual 5O0-nlile interna tionaI sweepstakes race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 30, and with several foreign cars promising to be formidable contenders for those tro- phies, the minds of many prominen American automobile manufacturers are now agitated to an unusual degree The trophies have long been held in high esteem by the manufact cturers, who have taken a greater interest in them than they have in the cash prizes. Since 1t became known that this years race would include EHA ropes fastest cars the situation has become grave, for there is now danger that these trophies, which have sym bo1ized the victories of so many Am erican cars, may be carried oVt of the country
 Practically every driver who has en- tered thus far has s1gnified his inter- ton Of making a desperate effort to lower all records previously made on the Indianapolis Speedway, and if the thousands of dollars worth of trophies are still left in this country to deco rate the display rooms of American cturers, it will not be because of any wilful neglect of opportunity on the part of the foreign drivers.
 There has never been a prize offered

FAVOR WOLGAST
 TO BEAT MURPHY
Crack Boxers Clash in Pacific Coast Ring This After
 noon

San Francisco, April 19-Ad Wolgast and Tommy Murphy are resting on their oars. They are now in shape for their bout this afternoon. Jim Griffin has been named as referee.
 Buckley appears to be confident that Murphy will succeed in stopping Vol gast this time. He said:
 I'm quite confident that this is what will happen. It isn't generally known that Murphy hurt his left hand along in the twelfth round of their last fight. There was something the matter with his glove. That and the fact that Murphy is always in good shape leads me to think the victory will be an easy one.''
 WoIgast, who cut short his gym work Thursday and did no boxing was around Coffroth's offices, and if the forthcoming match is worrying him he gave no indications of it. The Michigan champion is as brown as a berry and declares that he feels fit for any sort of a bout
 The betting Is 10 to 8, with Wolgast the favorite, even if many good Judges are not sa tisfied with his re- cent performances and present ap- pearance.

seem 1nbued with the idea that base ball is- one great game for developing young men, and that is what they seek at present-the development of their youths.
 A wise baseball man like John Barnes, who at one time owned the Minneapolis club, and who was later connected with the game on the Paci- f1c coast, stated recently in letter to the writer that he might become in terested in the project himself, as he cessful in France. This is in line with what Klegin has been preaching.
 That the Frenchmen are not allow ing the matter to die out is shown by the following item that appeared in one of the Paris dailies on March 24, and which I received the other day: "A large and enthusiastic meeting has been held in Paris to consider the promotion of the American amateur game of baseball throughout France. A baseball diamond is being laid out at Colon bes by an expert from Amer lea, MT. Val Flood, and others are be- ing constructed at Maisons Lafitte, and ''balP is now being played at BagatelIe."
 By the above it will be seen that baseball is becoming reality in the French metropolis and it will not be surprising to hear of international games being played within five years instead of 10. Once the Yankee game gets a foothold in the European coun- tries it is a good bet that it will be- come almost as popular as here, and then it will be that our British cou- sins will take it up along with their national pastine of cricket

as a reward in any hontest more beau tifuI than the Whee1er-Schebeler tro- phy, the heroic cup of solid silver, which has an intrinsic value of more than $10,O00. It had it's origin cen turies ago in little inn in the Black Forest
 The Wheeler-Schebeler Cup Is not for practical use. In fact, enough wine could be placed within its spacious bowl to satisfy the thirst of 200 Kings, figuring that each King should drink but one pint of wine.
 Another trophy which has a histor- ical origin Is the Prest-O-Lte trophy, a solid silver brick, engraved with a replica of the Speedway in bas relief. The first time that a, silver brick was given as g, reward was during the days when Spain was the possessor of the Western Hemisphere.
