.HAUGHTON SIGNS
TO COACH FOOTBALL
TEAM AT HARVARD

Cambridge Mass, April 22-The nee
essary fornalities to insure the ser
vices of Percy D. E1aughton as coach
of the Harvard University football
team for the next three years have
been complied with, according to a
statement made today by Graduate
Treasurer GarceLon. The announce
ment that Haughton would coach the
team was made several weeks ago by
President Frederick w. Thayer, of the
Harvard club of Boston. The adjust
ment of a few minor matters in con-
nection with the contract were neces-
sary, however, and yesterday these
were completed. Mo mention was
made of the salary, although 1t is un-
derstood that President Lowell object
ed to any sum in excess of s., 600
year.
Mr. Haughton has coached the Har-
ward team for the past five years,
during which the Crimson has won
two games from Yale. tied two and
lost the contest of 1909.

REFEREE STOPS
BRITTON-MOORE
New Yorker Tries to Punch Of
fetal After Fake Fight
Is Stopped

Philadelphia, April 22.-Annid cries
stopped the little family affair be-
tween Jack Britton and Pal Moore
last night in the middle of the fourth
round. He announced that he put
an end to hostilities because the bout
was very uneven and because one of
the contestants was not trying to do
his best.
That made Britton very angry and
pushing a policeman aside he tried to
say amid the clamor that a man who
could go twenty rounds with him could
not be knocked out in six rounds.
However, the crowd seemed glad
that the bout came to a sudden stop,
for Britton demonstrated that he
could hit Moore when and where he
pleased and that he did not hit him
oftener and harder because he did not
care to make a shorter bout of it.
There was very little action to any
of the rounds. In the first two
rounds Britton took it easy and made
little effort to stop Moore from get
ting in close. In abe third Britton
did give just an idea of what he
could do if he really wanted to unlirn-
Der himself.
In the fourth session, however,
Britton contented himself with miss
ing and tapping lightly to the top of
Pals head. Then it was that the ref
cree stopped the fight
Britton explained after the bout
that he did not wish to take chances
of injuring his hands on Moore, as ne
is to fight Johnny Dohan in Brooklyn
tomorrow night.

ROUGH WATER ON
NEW HAVEN HARBOR
HAMPERS YALE CREW

The rough weather ON the harbor
the past ten days has prevented the
Yale crew from continuing it's prac-
tice under the old favorable circum-
stances. Instead, the eight has been
forced to skim the river in it's drills
This will undoubtedly, according to
Coach Hartman, in an interview last
night, put the men back at least
week.
A new coach has been added to the
staff of Englishmen, Gold and Kirby,
who are to corne over in May, j. r.
McLageon, who will come over with
Gold ust before the Yale men go to
New London, some time after Kirby,
who arrives May 10. McLageon Is a
friend of Colds and has had consid-
cradle experience on the Oxford crew
He was coxswain in the English boat
in 1901 and 1902.
Coach Hartman last night denied
the rurnor that the varsity four Dared
race would be eliminated this year. He
further said that under his system no
change in stroke is necessary upon
placing men in a four -oared shell
from the larger boat.

MECHANICS WIN
FROM NEWFIELDS
IN LOOSE CONTEST

Ringing down the curtain on the ex-
Ilibition season, the Mechanics tore
through Howard Dunbar's Newfield
team by to 5 yesterday. Manager
Mccain used Scoop Curry and Joe
Goddard against the Newfields and
neither finger showed much stuff
The Mechanics didn't exert them
selves, preferring to take the game as
a practice workout. Bob Stow was
back at shortstop for the first time
this season. He looked all right in
the field and banged out a hit in his
only appearance at the bat. Neither
Stow nor Snyder has signed, but they
are expected to come through tonight.
The best fielding play of the game
was made by Lefty Lied who ran back
to the fence and caught a liner from
Cairns. He grabbed the sphere with
one hand and rolled over after the
catch. Silzer made a one-hand stab
of So1en's pop fly that was a corker
Stratton and Tillerman worked for
the Newf1elds and both were wild.

Los Angeles. April 22.-Glenn Mar
lin esta blished what is said to be a
new American record for flying at Bal

persons and himself in a flight of fif-
teen minutes duration in a hydro-aer-

the flight were made yesterday. The
total human weight in the machine
was $50 pounds.
The machine in which the flight

Many inquiries have been received
concerning the strength of the Bridge
port club, but about all we can say at
the present time is that the team
looks stronger than last years aggre-
cation. The fnfield is certainly bet
ter. With MeGanwel1, Bowman, Stow
and Boultes, the Mechanics have four
fast men, three of whom are heavy
hitters. 1t is the best infield Bridge
port ever had.
The catching staff with Bridges and
Russell is second to none in the league.
The pitchers are uncertain. Tuckey
and Snyder are known to have the
stuff, but Sager must prove his worth.
Blum and Robertaille did well in other
leagues, but will have to be thorough
~ tried here before judgment can be
passed.
The outfie1d is also a problem Joe
Phillips is a veteran who made good
in the New York State League, and
looks like a fixture with the Mechan-

fielder but hasn't shown much batting
skill yet. The Winter League Is now
adjourned. Let's go over to Newfield

FROM PARK CITY TEAM

Sunday at Wheeler's Lot the East
Bridgeports put one over on the Park
Citys in six innings by the score 1877.
The Park City pitcher was laced to
all corners and the winners ran the
bases like hares. Outfielding was hard
owing to the wind.
In the sixth Manager Ryan asked
that the game be called after his
Park Citys had got their BATS
which request was granted. The East
Side boys were patched up owing to
some failing to report on account Of
the weather.
Next Sunday the Rosebuds will play
