Yet il is certain that the Saviour aphorred

c., at noon yesterday from Char
lotte, n. c. Robbie tarried only a
minute or so at the depot, continuing
on to his home in Baltimore. He will
return before noon today. Asked re-
garding the team, Robinson volun-
teered the information that he had
no cause for complaint.
There is not n sore arm among
the pitchers" he said. with the
coming of Egan I think we have
one of the best infields in baseball to-
day. He fits in nicely with Cut
shaw at second, and is a willing
worker. In addition to this he Is

FOR HOWARD BOUT
West Orange Boy Ends Two
Weeks Strenuous Train
ing Today.

Charley Wenert, of West Orange,
and Johnny Howard, of Bayonne. are
both in good shape for their sched-
uled round bout at Browns Gym
nasium. New York, tomorrow night.
These lads met in a ten-round milling
at Madison Square Garden some time
ago, and although Weinert won with
apparently little trouble, he WAS
forced to extend himself i'm the early
part of the milling. Weinert finished
up a strenuous two weeks training
today and, according to his manager,
Tom Messenger, he will weigh in a
pound or two above the ITO mark.
Reports from Bayonne have it that
Howard has never trained more faith
fully for bout lie is training at his
Lest weight just now and his follow
ors are confident that he will give
Weinert a stiff argument.

DISPATCH FROM CAPITAL

A dispatch from Washington has
it that Harry Smith, manager of
the Newark International League
Club, denies the rumors published
throughout tho East, to the effect
that he threatened to resign as lead

eording to the dispatch, that he was
discouraged with the way things
were breaking on the club. but the
rumore of his intended resignation
were absolutely untrue. In a telegram
to tho Evening Star today, the Ben
gal piloter said that he would con-
tinue to manage the Newark club,
and that he would arrive in this city
tomorrow. Charles II. Ebbets. jr.,
president of the Tigers, said over the
phone today that he had heard moth
ing or knew nothing of the alleged
trouble of his club. smith did not see

COLUMBIA, $. G. March S0.-As
Sunday is most strictly observed in
Columbia, s. c., the members of the
Brooklyn Federal League squad were
forced to spend the day in idleness.
With the coming of n short lived
shower the crowd was driven indoors,
but as it cleared early in the after
noon pleasure parties were organized
and most of the boys spent the after
noon out in the surrounding country.
The sudden departure of Bradley on
a mysterious scouting trip has caused
no end of discussion among the play
ers. and it is generally believed that
he is out hunting for experienced
twirlers who have not yet signed THEN
contracts. Artie Holman is in charge
during Bradley's absence.

GENEVA, Switzerland, March 30
Frank Kramer, the American cham
crack italian sprinter, in two straight
heats at the zurenburghe track here
yesterday The match drew a big
crowd and the Yankees victory was
we'll received. Kramer rode both
heats from the front and won by a
small advantage in each heat. The
track is fiat and very rough, the ce-
ment surface being broken in many
places, and botb riders wanted to
ride from the front. Moretti forced
Kramer to go a full lap in each heat, a
stglt. quarter of n mile, and pressed
Tim Sard on the backstretch. The
Yankee %ps never in trouble, how
ever, and Nheld the Italian safe at
all times.
In the second heat Moretti jumped
Kramer a lap and half from the
finish, but the latter was on him in
an instant, and when tho Italian saw
the ease with which Kramer caught
him, he slowed down until the bell,
when he started again. Kramer
jumped before the turn out of the
stretch was reached and assumed the
lead, where he remained until the
tape was crossed.
Kramer's Judgment Apparent.
1t was figured that Moretti had a
very good chance to defeat Kramer
here. Moretti has ridden many races
\ here with success, and knows how to
: ride on the fiat turns. Being a big
fellow of great strength, it was
thought that he might hold Kramer
off, for the American could not use
all of his great speed on the fiat
turns. Kramer's noted Judgment was
apparent before the race started,
however. When he saw the fiat
track he remarked to Raoul Coste.
his European manager, that he would
