ssLet's throw away that first inning and start all over again. yelled man.. after Montreal had pounded General Sherman for nine runs at Newfe1d park yesterday afternoon. That ex- pressed the situation pretty accurately for after the initial round the game was good The base hits whizzed around Sherman so fast that the score keepers wrote out several pencils counting the runs. Sherman cou1dn't get warmed up. Several fans got warmed up though, and made some heated remarks about his pitching The final score was Montreal II, i, Bridgeport 0.
 Chief Snyder, who succeeded Sher- man, was in good shape and after yielding two runs in the second held the Canadians run1ess until the seventh when Tuckey ascended the mound. Tuckey gave the visitors three hits and no runs.

WEIGHT NEEDED
 IN COLLEGE CREW

Weight for its own sake alone is not Desirable in the composition of an eight-oared racing crew. according to James C. coach Of the csofumbfa Uniusfs1Esoe ereRa 8inpe4he fall of 1908. Mfr Rice says, however, that it is de- @ira b1e to have a due proportion of the kind of weight which means beef and braWn, the two vital elements which carry crew to victory.
 Aggressfveness. courage. waterman ship and all the other qualities that go to make up a fine crew are, ac- cording to Rice, of little avsiI if the beef and brawn are lacking
 Rice goes to the records of the var sIty races in the Poughkeepsfe regatta. to find authority for this statement Tn nine of the fifteen races, beginning with PennsyIpaniass victory in 1889, the winning crews have averaged more than ITO pounds, and five of these Boat1oads were the heaviest on the river in their respective years Ts.s
 Light crews, according to Rice. have not fared nearly as well, because the few extra pounds difference, although apparently trifling on paper mean a great deal when the last driving spirit Is called for and every ounce of energy is needed to shoot the shell slong-

The Sherfff-We1sh bout was just one holl1- shorter than the famous Madd den- Hayes bare knuckle battle in England in 1849. which lasted 6 hours and 3 minutes. It was also surpassed by the Ke1ly-Smith battle bare-fist affair. at Melbourne in 1855. which lasted 6 hours and 15 minutes

 deformed nose as 8 reminder of the many hard-fought fistic contests in which he has participated. Prince George was largely responsible for making boxing popular sport among the officers and soldiers of the imper- iaI army. The pripce-soIdiez-pu pugilist won the n1iddlewefght championship of the army about ten years ago, and later became heavyweight champion. He was always willing to defend his honors against all corners, officers and privates alike. and his battered fea- lures bear evidence of the prowess of many clever and brawny boxer from the ranks.

I TINKER CASE TO
 BE SETTLED SOON

The war between organized ball and the Federal League promises to wax warm within the next week. when q special meeting of the National Com mission will be held to consider the present legal complications which have already arisen Between the tive factions. It is understood organized ball is so encouraged over the decision in the KiIIifer case that no hesitation will be made in fighting the new league to the limit on legal grounds.
 It has not been decided where the National Commission will meet as it
 will depend on the convenience of President eTener of the National league At this meeting it is probable that the commission will decide on some action against the Chicago Feds in the Tinker case This matter has been taken out of the hands of the Brooklyn Club. There is also the question of the famous Tinker deal with Brooklyn to come to final settle nnent
 Brooklyn feels that inasnuch as Tinker did not report to the Brooklyn Club that it is not responsible to Cin- cinnati for the amount it promised to pay for him. According to the terms of the deal between Ebbets and Herr mann, the written agreement was worded as follows: .sIt is agreed and understood that the Brooklyn Baseball Club purchase the services and release of Joseph Tinker for $25.o00 from the Cincinnati Baseball Club. This con tract to hold on the condition that said Tinker accept terms with said Brook lyn Baseball Club and report for ser vice.
 Tinker did not accept terms or did not report for service, so Brooklyn considers that part of the deal void. It is expected that Brooklyn will be paid back any money by Cincinnati which is still due in the deal. The other features of the deal were satis- factori1y settled as Yingling and Moran went to Cincinnati and Dick Egan came to Brooklyn.

Manager Boultes of the Bridgeport baseball club is making great efforts to get his team in shape for tho open ing of the Eastern association season. the Montreal International league club, which played here yesterday and has another experienced man coming this week. The manager would not an nounce the first baseman's name. He closed the deal after a conference last night with Manager Kitty Bransffeld of Montreal. The latter promised to send the first sacker here after the Internatzona1e 1eaguers finished their double header in Springheld today. He should report tomorrow or Wednes- day.
 The crop of recruits gathered dur ing the winter did not pan out very well and although Manager Bou1tes gave them a good tryout in exhibition contests he realized that most of them would not do for the Eastern associa- ton. If the new first sacker makes good, the manager thinks that with a heavy hitter in left field, he will be well fortified to start the season.
 Saturday night Pitcher Quinn and Catcher Brady were sentson their way. Quinn had sore arm, which prevent ed him from showing anything. Brady lacks experience but Manager Bou1tes is trying to farm him to Fall River of the Colonial league. Wilson, a sol dier from Fort S1ocum who tried out for second base. was also released. He came here on a furlough from the army and was anxious to get back to his station when he could not get 9 job here.

BOXING NOTES
(By n. s. Andrews.)


 The detection of Matt wells from the light weight ranks will no doubt be appreciated by Freddie Welsh the present holder of the British title, for Matt was quite a rival of Freddie's for the cfampionship After Wells went to Australia he found that his weight was intreasing and he wisely gave up the light weight division and enteTed the welter weight ranks.
 However, there are two light weights coming along in England who may give Freddie WeIsh quite an ar gunent before he gets through with them One Of them is Willie Farrell and the other Jerry Delaney Far relI has been doing remarkably good work of late, despite the fact that he is vaudeville artist by profession Boxing has simply been pastime with him, but since he tried his hand at 1t and made el1oh success in the few f1eiats l,e had. he decided to take it more seriously The other day he met a very tough French light weight ir, the person of Raymond Vittett and and after a hard battle. succeeded in winning. He has been matched with Jerry Delaney for the near future ana as Delaney is also a contender for the title, 1t wf1 be hard try out for both of thenn.
 It will be necessary for Freddie Welsh to return to England in lew months to defend his title Tor the Lonsdale belt, and the chances are that his opponent will be either Far re11 or Delaney
 Ad Wolgast, the Michigan bearcat, who gave willie Ratchfe such a hard battle in Milwaukee few weeks ago. writes me that his hand is Improving rapidly, having been taken out of the cast and that he expects to be i'll shape for a couple of matches in May Ad figures on meeting Johnny Ti1- man at Hudson, Wisconsin, by the last of Ahis month or early in May, and after that one. he will tackle some one in a six-rol1ud bout at Grand Rapids, Mich. However, he Is not seeking very hard game at this time, as he wants to reserve his strength for another ery with Willie Ritchie, and it is possible that he will get his chance early next fall.
 Two other light weight, stars who figure in the limelight just now will get busy on the coast ApriI 2sth. the principals being Freddie Welsh and Leech Cross. After Wels7is splendid showing against Joe Rivers, he Is be- ing picked to outpoint Croes and If he does, he will be in line to demand a battle with Ritchie for the worlds light weight title.
