Hamilton, Bermuda, March 12-The Jersey City Skeeters did not put up much resistance in their conflict with the Highlanders here yesterday: in fact, as far as the score is concerned they might as well have forfeited the game, the final count being to O.

Justice to this pair of colt kithogueS it must be said they were iu no way responsible for the big score rolled up by their team mates. Seven of the New York runs were made in the fourth, fifth and sixth franess the innings in which the mound for the Schlafly, cause. Schulz and Hoff yielded only one run apiece.
 The Skeeters made only three hits off the regular New York pitchers, and Ford went through three innings without permitting a man to reach first base. Russ also famed three men in the three rounds he toiIed-

Boston Champions Gould Use St. Louis
 Veteran As Ut1fity Indelderss

St. Louis, March 12.-James R. Mc- Aleer, president of the Boston Red Sox, passed through St. Louis yes terday en route for Hot Springs; where the world champions are training. As soon as he struck town Sunny Jim arranged a conference with President Bob Hedges of the Browns
 What are you going to do with Bobby Wallace 2'' inquired McA1eer.
 s'Play him at short replied Hedges s'I heard you had two smashing young inf1elders in Mike BaIenti and Dee Walsh, and if there is any possibtl- ity of Wallace being crowded off the Browns, I'd like to put in a bid for him. declared McAleer.
 Wallace is fixture with the Browns until we have developed some youngster to take his place." said Hedges. ..Balenti has not reported yet and Walsh has never worked in a big league ball game. Under the cir cumstances I couldn't think of part ing with any true performer like Wal lace.''
 sI don't blame you for feeling that way about 1t" said McAleer. t'Hut don't forget Boston if Walsh or Ba- lenti make good and you decide to trade Wallace"

YALE TEAM READY
 FOR BIG EASTERN TRIP
Pendleton of Varsity Football Eleven
 Is Likely Twir1er.

A series of practice games, played in the new cage, has prepared the Yale baseball nine for it's Easter trip, which is now only a few days dis tant. Two teams have. been organized for the squad and infield play, batting and base-running have been possible The largest squad ever taken will be used 20 players making the trip, and the date for the opening of the ser- ies. the 21st, is the earliest ever set for the beginning of Yale campaign.
 The material is unusually strong, although no improvement on the squad of last season, which was de- feated by Princeton, Brown and sew eral small colleges. Six pitchers will be taken, four veterans-Scott, Gi1e, Dyer and -Brown-Pendleton of last years freshman squad, and Sherman, the former Hartford inter-scholastic twirler,. who was prevented by facul- ty complications from playing last year. He was freshman pitcher two seasons ago. Ripley the freshman who pitched a no-hit game last sea son, is not yet in his best form, but is relied upon as one of the standbys for the latter part of the campaign. Two left and four right-handed pitch CTS will be taken. Pendleton is re- garded as Yale's best left-hander oi recent seasons. He was football tac- kle last fall

M'FARLAND IS WIZARD OF RING
HAS INVENTED WAY TO SAVE HANDS AND THUS AVOID
 FATIGUE.

Great is Packey Mcfarland, right fully named the wizard of the ring. A wizard is one who casts spells. and that is exactly what Mcfarland does. He not only casts his spells over his portion of the spectators as well, mak- ing them think they see what is not actually occurring.
 McFarland's ability to delude is so great he can slap with his open glove and get credit for landing-a stagger- ing blow. He can pull off a doubtful trick and get credit for doing a cred .itable action. He can make a match with a man pounds. below him in weight and receive credit for doing a brave deed. Greater wizardy than this, is not known to the prize ring.
 McFarland's ring status is peculiar He belongs to no particular division. He repudiates with seorn the suggcs- ton that he call himself a welter- weight. yet his actual poundage pre- vents him from meeting hghtweights on equal terms However, he is al- Ways willing to overlook graciously a weight shortage in his opponents. Paclkey is one boxer who is. not afraid to go out of his class. He would just as soon meet lightweight as a welterweight any time.
 It has always been something of a mystery why it is that McFarIanii does so little damage to his opponents. He seems to hit with tremendous force. yet he accomplishes little de- struction, as his record of late years shows But the mystery was one no longer to those who had eyes to see what was going on during his bout with Jack Britton last week.
 Mcfarland does not clench his fists. The reason for this is not that he is at all squeamish about doing harm to his rivals or that he is afraid of in- uring his hands. It is simply be- cause he wishes to avoid becoming fa- tigued
 Fatigue is the one thing all clever boxers fear. Before it's stealthy ap- proach their skill fades away, leaving them at the mercy of their less cum ntng but more enduring rivals. Mo Far1and- has evolved a scheme thai enables him to overcome this difficult ty to some extent. He found out early. in his career that c1enching the fist and tightening all the muscles come weary and lose speed. But how to overcome this was a problem.
 To omit closing the fist meant that he. would be unable to strike a heavy blow. Clearly something must be sacrificed. Mcfarland solved the problem in a way that only Mc- FarIand could have done. by holding his hands loosely closed and thus creating the impression that he was hitting with both speed and force. By this means he gets credit for SCOT ing decisive points without sacrificing the amount of strength that is neces sary in landing real blows, his won derful skill enabling him to get awa5 with tk@ trick undetected.

THORPE CLOUTS
 MATTY FOR HOMER
INDIAN LEANS UP AGAINST GIANTS BEST TWIRLER FOR
 CIRCUIT CLOUT BUT REGULARS WIN.

Marlin, Tex, March Twin Mo 'Graw, Evers and Herzog taking turns at umpiring and with monkey shines in the latter part of the game, the Giant regulars beat the second team g to yesterday afternoon. The results of the second inning put the second team out of the running. The regulars fell on Pitcher Kirby for eight hits and eight runs, of which total of hits Doyle made two. tWo- baggers and Murray two singles.
 Gou1ait blanked the second team for three innings and Mathewson- pitch ed for the remaining six. That was the longest continuous service any pitcher has done so far. Matty did not exert himself more than to put the ball over the plate. Wiltse did good work in three innings.
 James Thorpe let fly with a home run, which McGraw cried out was the longest hit in the world, the drive be- ing made off Matty. The ball went sailing to the left field fence, which Is "a long distance out. It hoped over a far away tennis court, and the In- dian scored in a romp. Thorpe also distinguished himself on a, fielding chance, making a large fat huff of a fly ball. Robertson, with a pair of clever foul catches, Shafer with a1l- round fielding and Herzog with rat ting catch off the ground of a hot liner were the best on the defense.

 There are quite bunch of re- cruits in the field that show great promise, and want to mention eou- pie of boys who hail from this vicin- tty that show promise of being stars among the middleweight division. These boys are Jack Fitzgerald, who is now. pretty-near niddIeweight, and a youngster from out in the state whom you mentioned in your columns, by the name of Tommy Mccarthy. Just a thing or two to enlighten you about this boy:- He is what might be
 called a sensation, but the fact that he has been boxing in the bushes is the only reason he has not esta bHshed himself more firmly with the writers of boxing. Here is a boy who I must say has a phenomenal record.
 Just think of boy boxing about a year and engaging in IT contests and winning 6 of them by the knockout route, and the only one to go the limit with him was that very season ed bird, Montana Jack Sullivan, in Grand Island, Nebraska. Mccarthy received the decision over him in ter rounds. In the last round he drop ped this Sullivan chap on two occa- sions for the count. have snever seen this boy perform, but friends of mine who have proclaimed him another ketchel in the rough

BOXING JOE SHEA IS
 RUNNING RESTAURANT

Waterbury, March 12-Joe Kid Shea, formerly idol of a host of boxing fans, is to become a restaurateur. Next week he will take over the restaurant at Mulligan's, formerly the Hub, and will there try to add to the pile he has made in the ring. As George MulIigan will conduct the cafe part of the establishment, Shea will still be near to the man who brought him out as a boxer and who was his man ager so long.
 Shea says he is glad to be out of the boxing game and hopes to make a success of his new adventure. He says he thinks it will be good business in which to invest the money he has made in the ring.

MAYER IS AMONG MOST ECCENTRIC
 OF PUG1LISTS

Peter Maher, who fought his first American battle with Bob F1tzsiIn- mons at New Orleans twenty-one years ago to-day. March 12, 1892, was one of the queerest characters in ring history He lacked the business head which is part of the equipment of most fighters of to-day, and was always being stung. Peter was a ma tive of the ould sod and was employ ed in a brewery in Dublin when he be- gan lighting. He was amateur mid dIeweight champion of Ireland when he was discovered by Billy Madden, the American promoter, and had also won the Heavyweight amateur title of England. Madden wanted a man to meet the great John L., and he con- sddered that MaI1er might. have a chance. First, however, he decided to pit his find against Fitzsirnmons, then a niddIeweight, and they were matched to fight for a $1O,OOQ purse offered by the Olympic A. C., of the Crescent City Maher was about 12 pounds heavier than Bob, and made B good showing, and on several occa- sions had Bob going. In the twelfth however, Maher's seconds threw up the sponge.
 Fitzs and Maher fought twice after that and in the last bout, held in Texas. Peter was Knocked out in the first round Their second affair was a three-round exhibition in New York. rOu that occasion Jim Kennedy, who promoted the bout, te1egraphed Ma her a proposition, offering him twenty per cent. of the gross receipts. The Irishman, who had so often come out of the little end of the horn in fnan- cia1 transactions, decided to do a lit tie thinking before. he accepted this offer. After several hours of labor ed mental research he wired Kennedy that he spurned with scorn his offer of twenty per cent of the gross, and that he wouldn't appear for a cent less than twenty-five per cent. of the net Kennedy fell all over himself getting to a telegraph office to accept this proposal, and Peter never could get it lf1rou gh his head why twenty-five per cent of the net amounted to so much less than if he had accepted twenty per cent. of the gross.
