worst ''cold-footed' rider in the
game and has very little confidence in
himself when he has to go 1t alone
He will frame up with a third
tier when he cannot get better
rider to help him. Pete Drobach,
Jumbo Wells, Freddy Hill and Paddy
Hehir are others who are inveterate
team workers, and they did not greet
the announcement of the new rule
with loud cheers.
The riders who are delighted with
the new rule are Jackie Clarke, All
Grenda and Frank CaVanagh, and II
is certain that ALI Goullet and Frank
Kramer will be pleased, for in their
contracts with the Nelodrome there
is a clause that states that il they
are guilty of team work their con-
tracts are void.
Every year there is an effort made
along different lines to stop team
work, and it looks as though the
racing authorities have at last solved
the problem. If Ross has the nerve
to infiict these severe penalties 1t is
a certainty that team work Will soon
stop.

Third Round of Come Back

NEW YORK March 20.--Abe At
tell, former featherweight champion,
knocked out Ollie Kirk. of st. Louis,
in the third round of a scheduled ten
round bout here last night.
A terrific left hook to Kinks chin
sent the WesteFner staggering to the
ropes, and a right to the jaw in an
instant later noored him for nine
seconds. Kirk regained his feet in
time to suffer further punishment be-
fore Referee Sammy Kelley stepped
in and stopped the bout. The fight
inaugurated Attell's attempt to re-
gain the featherweight title. Kirk is
the man who made him quit in a bout
in the West four months ago.
Kirk had all the better of it for two
rounds. He iabbed Attell almost at
will with his left and hooked his right
to the head repeatedly. There was a
sudden shift when the third round
started, however Attell stepping in
quickly with the deciding blows.

gram of Games from Chess

NEW YORK, March 20.-The inter-
national aspect in sports, spreading
with each successive year.ji is unusual
ly dominant in the tentative arrange
ments of the big sporting events for
the summer The program, now near
~ completed, calls for international
contests in which Americans will par

sport
The list ranges from chess TO yacht

players are coming from the orient
cricket players and tennis experts

pions and polo chalengers from
England, yachtsmen from Germany,
athletes from Cambridge and Oxford

aviators from France. as we'll as the
usual influx of foreign competitors in
minor lines of sport.
The tide of Americans to other
shores is lesser than the incoming
one, but it includes as its unusual
features a proposed tour of baseball
players and visits of American golfers
to both England and France.
Dates for most of the summers
sporting fixtures. both at home and
abroad, have now been set, and from
summary of those available here it
is evident the sport loving public is to
have an unusual variety of events to
follow.
In yachting the Germans renew the
sender or special class races with
the Americans. paying a visit of near
ly three weeks to these shores in
August. The races will be held as
usual off Marbelhead, Mass, the trials

new clause. When Ross received the
appointment for this year he was
asked what he WAS going to do in
regard to team work, and he replied
that if they would fix a proper PEN
atty he would soon put team work
into the discard. Manager Chapman
told Ross to fix the penalties at
what he considered the proper figure
and it would be placed before the
National Cycling Association at the
annual meeting. The clause was
adopted and now II is up to Ross to
pick out the guilty ones and SEE h"
it works.
Ross handled the riders pretty well
last year and 1t is doubtful If he
made single mistake. AT nearly
every meet one or more riders were
fined or disqualified, but there was
no cessation in team work. The riders
laughed at the paltry fines, and they
cared less for the disqualifieatlons.
Ross realized this but he was power

Might Have Been.
The Bengals might have won the
flag if they had won some of the
games they lost last spring in which
seven and eight runs were wasted be-
cause their own pitchers couldn't
stem the hitting. The Tigers are
made out of just the right ma
terial for flag winner. Take
Bill Collins, for instance. There
is no better run-getter in the
league. Bill himself accounted for LOG
tallies last season. Collins can bunt,
steal second and third and then race
home on any kind of a short fly. He
scored many times that way last sea
son and won more than one game by
his individual efforts. Collins is the
most brilliant base runner, because
the only good base runner on the
team. Billy Zimmerman is expected
to be a marvel this year with proper

air higher than the Metropolitan
building.
That Indoor Game.
The indoor baseball game at the
local Y. NJ. C. A. last night proved
a farce. The Savannah lads had it
all over the Tigers on the indoor
battle and scored runs at will In
fact, the local boys scored so many
runs that it was impossible to keep
score.
1t rained throughout the entire day
yesterday, and the Bengals worked
out both morning and afternoon in
