PRINTS IF
 WH|PPLEFOUND
Fifty or More Diagrams of Structures Near Prescott Are Unearthed in Iron Box Eighteen Miles From Phoenix.

In a heavy. iron box, cached on the desert eighteen miles west of Phoenix a prominent rancher who insists that his name be withheld. ten days ago discovered a series of fifty or more blue prints of the buildings compris- ing the Fort Whipple bararckS, to- Sether with others giving detailed in formation of the sewerage and water systems, the topography of the gov ernment reservation upon which the buildings stand. as well as some photographs. not only of the barracks but of scenes in Jasper County, Iowa How they came to be in the iron box and how the box came to be out on the desert is mystery for which there seems just now to be no solution.
 Upon the discovery of the box and the blue prints, the rancher immedi- ately removed them to the Ten Mile GrOVerY Store conducted by Walter Finley, ten miles west of the Yuma road, where they have since been held awaiting adVices from the war department as to their proper dis position. Probably unaware that there is now no other officer at Nhipple Barracks than a sergeant Of the re- = Finley, anxious to be rid of the prints and photographs recently ad- dressed communication to the Guartermaster of the barracks. but has 90 far received no reply He now in tends to bring the matter to the at tention of First Lieutenant R. D. La Garde. U. s. A. detailed to Arizona as inspector instructor of the Nation al Guard and who is spending the summer at Whipple. except for the time occupied in attendance at the rifle matches at Camp Perry, Ohio.
 The blue prints and photographs according to Mir. Finley, form about as complete pictured description of the barracks and the environments as ,: would be possible to obtain. It i> hardly likely that the war depart rlent itself is in possession of more detailed information relative to the architecture and construction of the buildings, the courses of the sewers and the water mains. These include not only reproductions Of the com pany buildings. both exterior and in3 terior but show the officers quar- ters, the stables and diagrams ana plots of the grounds from almost every standpoint.
 Due to the fact that the prints ere encased in waterproof, iron box they are in an excellent state ot preservation. although they give indi- cations of having been made several years ago. There are no papers of any description which would give clue as to who deposited them on the desert or why it was done
 The photographs from Jasper COun- ty Iowa, this being ascertained from tEe labelling, are reproductions ot views having no bearing, so far as il i, possible to ascertain. with other government Notifications or projects
 It is said that the class of prints embraced in the big roll are not of that order usually employed by ar architect or contractor in securing data for the submission of bids or for information in the erection of structures They seem to have been made more for the purpose of giving a good idea of just how the buildings are situated, the size of each, as well as the general plans of the interior Of the structures.

STANAGE SAYS
 MATTY IS WRONG
Detroit Catcher Doesn't Think National Pitchers As Good
 As American

St. Louis, April 1S.-There isn't a member of the Tigers squad who can see Christy Mathewson's argument that the National league is as well balanced in a pitching sense as the Americans, or that the National cir cult has as many good pitchers as the younger organization.
 Oscar Stanage, in his position as first catcher on the Detroit team and also because of his high standing among the back stops of the major leagues, was called upon to express an opinion, and here is what the big fellow said:
 While my experience with National league pitchers is not extensive, can not be led into the thought that the older circuit has as good an array of twirIers as the American league. In the National league theFe are Mathewson, Tesreau, Hendryx, O'Toole, Maruuard, salIee. Cheney, and Richie.
 'sIn the American we have Johnson, Walsh, Wood, Plank, Bender Coombs, Mullin, Dubuc, Hamilton. Gregg, Ford and Bedient. There isn't club in the American league but that has one star pitcher. Philadelphia, has three men in Coombs. Bender and Plank, while Boston has two in Wood and Bedient. and really Ray Collins of the Red Sox can be classed with the stars.
 ''In the National league New York has three great pitchers. Chicago has two, Pittsburgh has two, while St. Louis and Brooklyn have one each. That leaves Boston, Cincinnati and Philadelpfia in the Nationals without a great pitcher.
 'sDoes that seem as though Mathew sons argument was well based?"

LEFTY HIGH MAKES
 GREAT FIGHT FOR
 BERTH WITH DETROIT

The fight made by Lefty High, for merly Of Hartford to make the De troit team calls forth this story from the Detroit Journal:
 The big question in the Tiger party is not ttWill we win the pennant ?'' but, Which is the better paIIpIayer, Hugh High or Ray PowelI?"
 These young men have waged a friendly, but nevertheless, keen bat tie for the position of utility outfield- CT since first day in Gulfport, Miss, and it now seems as though High is drawing away from Powell in gener- al favor, even though Manager Jen- nings does express the belief that he t'stiH considers Powell a more fin ished player"
 It is quite safe to say that 75 per cent. of the players are with High. High is a little fellow, he is the es- sense of good nature and he is never in the way. This doesn't lead into the meaning that Powell is unpopular or that he is not a 1ikeabIe chap, for he is, but High has a way about that friends as a magnet draws needles.
 In playing ability candidness forces the statement that High seems more of the finished product. High, per haps, isn't as fast as Powell, but High plays the outf1e1d different than his rival. Hugh plays the batters; he watches the signals of the infie1ders; ing player. Powell on the other hanI, seems to depend on his speed and his throwing ability to offset his apparent careIessness in other ways.
 Powell certainly can run. There isn't any argument to that He bears the nickname of Rabbit and he deserves it.PoweH has record of 10 1-2 seconds

DOYLE'S HITS WIN
 GAME FOR GIANTS
Captain of Giants Gets Four of
 Five Hits Made off Perdue

Boston, Mass, April 1s-The sun shone upon the opening of the Ma tional League season here yesterday and an extra inning game crammed full of thrills rewarded the crowd of between 1000 and 5000 persons who braved the cold east wind. The Giants won the game, to 2. With Mathew son carded to pitch and with the local team an unknown quantity, few spec tators probably looked for a differ ent result. But the showing made by the Braves more than gratified their supporters and their stock Is quoted far above par today.
 To Larry Doyle belongs the credit of the victory. While this is literal truth as he batted Tn the winning run 1t is also on record that he had before that made three hits, one of them home run, and had scored the only runs made for New York in nine innings Doyle was also thoroughly alive in the territory about second base, and altogether made a gala day of 1t.
 Hub Perdua. whose changes of pace and occasional spitba1l puzzled the Giants in the opening game of the sea- son, was in the box for Boston, and had Doyle been out of the lineup would very likely have accomplished another shut out Murray was the only Giant besides the Captain to hit him safely, and that but once in the afternoon.

for 100 yards in a baseball uniform, and this means about 10 seconds fiat in track suit for the distance.
 High dispalys rare judgment in run ming back after flies. Hugh never makes a false move; he watches the ball for a second as it leaves the bat, and then turning he runs at top speed to a point where he thinks the sphere will drop, and thus far he has not failed to acrurately judge the dis tance.
 In a recent game High endeared himself to the hearts of the older players by slamming out three hits, a single, a double and a triple in four trips to the plate. Highs triple was the hit that entrenched him in the players affections. The ball left the players bat and went on line to the wall in right center field, hitting the barrier about six feet from the ground.
 Sam Crawford, from the bench. yell ed his pleasure and when High came trotting in a few minutes later Craw- ford wrapped his arm about the little fellows neck and gave him hug that would have strangled a. bear.
 The wonder of it is where High gets all his driving powers. He isn't any taller than Donie Bush and he only weighs two pounds more. Occasional ly Bush will hit the ball over an out f6Ider's head, but the latter will be playing well in when the trick is done. Donie has the strength, apparently, but he cannot get the swing in his short arms, a swing that is natural to players like Gainer or Crawford or Cobb.
 The point of it is, then, why can High hit the ball so hard and of ten when he hasn't a real advantage over Bush?
 Highs hitting comes from conf1- dence, too. The little fellow feels cer- tain that he is going to smash every ball that comes across the plate, and he isn't a player who can be enticed into striking at badly pitched balls.
 High is also endowed with a con-

JOHNNY COULON IS ABOUT READY
 TO DEFEND HIS TITLE ONCE MORE

stack up for a championship match right off the reel. He wants a couple Of short bouts first to test his strength and speed. Then he will be ready for any of them for a championship match at the bantam weight limit of 11e pounds ringside.
 Kid Williams has been hot after Coulon for a match the past four months. but the chances are that had the Kid known that Johnny was real ly i'll, he would not have been so per sistent in his demand for a bout, nor ready to say that the Chicago lad was side-stepptng him. Williams proved in his match with Campi that he has the right makeup for a try at the ti- tie and if he meets Coulon 1t is go- ing to be some battle.
 Eddie Campi proved himself ex- tremely clever in his match with Will Hams at Los Angeles, but his stam- ina was not sufficient to carry him through, but in his match with Frankie Burns, he showed to better advantage. Harry Dell, whom Mark Shaughnessy is trying to boost into a match with Coulon or Williams, has a defeat over Camp1 in California and he therefore claims prior right to an- other match with Campi. Why not have the three-Campi, Dell and Will nams-hght it out and let the win ner stack up against Johnny CouIon for the championship? He will be ready for the winner by the time they get through. Then the winner of the big match on this side could meet Charlie Ledoux of France for the In ternationa title.

M'CANN'S SQUAD
 DEFEATS YALE BY
 PUNCHING DRIVES
By wagner)

As the only collegian in the lineup, Harvey Russell was delegated to act chairman of the reception commit tee of the Mechanics, who met the sons of Hi Yale on the Newf1eld bat tleground yesterday. Bob Strother also attended Eastern college in Vir- ginia but as he was a wall flower on the bench, he was ineligible and had to sit out all the dances. Anyway Russell received the collegians with great politeness. Rube Sager who got a diploma from the needle shop in Torrington, and Dick Tuckey, who was the valedictorian in the rubber shop in Naugatuck, weren't so consid- crate of the Yale boys, however. They refused to let the campus crowd hit the ball and the final score was Bridgeport 8, Yale 1.
 Lefty Lied. who gets his mail in Elizabeth, N J. in the winter. wrap ped few bay leaves about his noble brow during the afternoon. Lied has good style at the bat. He chops hard at the ball and his two blows, a; triple and single, looked fine. Jolly Jake Boultes, who lost his batting lamp, during the flood in his St. Louis man of the Yale team for a three bag ger and a one spot.
 Ed McGamwell, also made his first appearance in the hit column by bouncing a double to center that SCOT ed two runs in the opener. Buster Bowman, who is the s1noothest article the local team ever had at second, ac- cepted five chances without muesing his uniform and also rang the bell for a base hit.
 Joe Flannery at shortstop blew up with g. loud report. This boy is 8 great fielder but he can't hit. He fan ned every time he approached the plate. Ben Silzer replaced him in the seventh and did better.
 Eddie Burns, the new outfielder pur- chased from Troy, was in left field He looked fast as a pasture guardian but the fans couldn't get much of a line on his batting. He went out on infield chances three times and drew one pass.
 Rube Sager Tipped the sphere for five innings. He retired the colleg- ians in order except in the fifth when they grouped a pair of doubles and 8 pass. He allowed but two hits and a tendency to become Mustered with men on bases, Sager looked promising. Dick Tuclzey succeeded Sager. The pride of Watson's Corner let the vis- itors down with two singles, one pass and runs.
 Sherman, one of the regular Yale pitchers, worked for the Ellis, and was battered brutalIy in the first and sixth. Ripley a southpaW, replaced him in the eighth. The Yale nine was composed Of substitutes of the varsity team. Their outfieId was ragged but the inffeld did well. The Bridgeport fielding was very steady

 Outf1e1der Howard Baker who was traded to Lowell, Mass, for Third Baseman Boultes, has been suspended for failure to report. He received a letter from the Lowell club that un- less he reported last Wednesday he would be suspended. He Is still in this city so he considers himself a, member of the Holdout League. Baker wrote to Manager Gray of Lowell saying that he would sign if the club offered him a fair contract. The New England leaguers offered him $75 a month less than he was getting with Bridgeport last year and he couldn't be blamed for refusing to sign. He has a good position in this city and is prepared to leave the national game to its fate.
 Pitcher Fred Blum arrived in town last night and was greeted at the Atlantic hotel by Boultes and Mo Gamwell, with whom he played in Lowell last season. Blum is an exper- fenced pitcher who is expected to a big help to the Bridgeport team.
 Manager Hi Ladd of the Norwalk team will have Cornen, voltz and Kerr as his battery in the game against <%e Mechanics at Newf1eld Cornen pitched for Bridge port many years ago. Bill Yale will also be with Ladd's team.
 Lefty High, the Hartford graduate, made two hits for Detroit against St. Louis, yesterday. He also cut off a run by 8 great throw to third base.

FORDHAM LOSES
 TO YALE BALL TEAM
1EfddlebroOk's Fielding Feature of Game Against New York
 CoIIegians.

New Haven, April 1s-Tordham's ragged fielding was responsible for Tale's easy victory yesterday by a score of IA to B. Walsh was batted from the box after he had yielded z runs in two innings, and Keeler fared little better. Yale's hitting was both timely and heavy, Riddell's three-bag- ger in the first inning driving two runners home, and Pumpelly's home run in the sixth pounding one ahead of him.
 PumpeIly led both teams at the bat marking his first revival of batting in six games. Hunter caught brilliantly and batted hard. Schofeld took two flies one Of them a foul, after at- tempts that seemed impossible, and LfddIebrock spoiled a, two-base hit for Dvuling in the ninth by a, long run. Kane and Kef1oe overhauled flies after long runs. F'ordham's 13 errors in- cluded every visiting player except Kehoe-
