HEATING STAR
 WHEN N. Y. WINS AT BALTIMORE
Local Boy Twiris Shutout Ball
 and Drives in All Runs.

Baltimore, Md, April 11.-Frank Chances New York Yankees handed Jack Dunn's Orioles a thick coat Of whitewash yesterday afternoon at Orio1e Park, winning by a score of 1 to o. The largest crowd that has seen an exhibition game so far this season wa atched the fray. The American league competitors played sensational ball throughout the contest and looked better than any major league team that has visited Oriole Park this season.
 New York's victory over the Inter nationals practically was due to good pitching. and the batting of Ray Keating. Ray began the contest fo. the Tanks, and not only held the Binds to three hits and no runs dur ing the six innings performance. but batted in all their ta1lfes.
 His first hit, coming in the second, with Cook and Peckinpaugh on bases, scored the first two runs. Caldwell, relieved Heating in the seventh, and though hit harder no runs were scored off him.
 All eyes were on NTaisel and Walsh, the two prominent Oriole graduates MaiseI got hit on the first ball pitched in the game. while Walsh did not connect safely, but played a splendid game in the outer garden.

LORERT OFFERED HOUSE AND LOT TO
 DESERT PHILLIPS

It doesn't cheer the Ph11adeIphfa Nationals to any great extent to know that the Feds are still dangling temp tation before Hans Lobert's eyes. Hans is tied up this year with a con tract which the outlaws are going to respect if they tear a lung loose in doing it, but it expires next October and the outlaws want to grab him then.
 So far they have been unable to talk Hans into ahgning himself with them for the 1915 campaign. He has listened to all their offers most res pectfuIly, but has answered all their appeals with the same answer: CT won't do anything. until have talked things over with Mn. Baker This, though he has been offered certified check for $10,000 andA a deed for a house and lot! Other ath- letes have been given a shot at more cash than the outlaws are using to tempt Lobert, but he Is probably the only living ball player to whom a home for his old age has ever been offered.

PLEASED WITH COURT DECISION
 ON KILLIFER
Chairman Hermann of Ma tional Commission Says 1914 Contracts Will Be Upheld.

Cincinnati, O., April 11-Expresslng no surprise over the decision of Judge Sessions in the Killifer case at Grand Rapids yesterday and contending that the contracts that are now in vogue differ materially from the one upon August Hermann, chairman Of the National Baseball Commission, issued the following statement:
 t.In response to a request for an ex- pression of views relating to the scope and test of the Kill1fer decision on organized baseball will say that have seen only an outline of the decision and am Of the opinion that it sustains the methods under which National Agreement baseball is con ducted. Judge Sessions holds that the 1914 contracts to the ball players are in form valid and bfnding on both parties
 .-The court in severely scoring the player for violating his contractual and moral obligations to the Philade1- phia club condemns the parties who tempted him to be dis1oyal.
 .s'It is true that the reserve clause in the players 1913 contract is declar- ed invalid because it is uncertain ana indefinite with respect to salary con ditions of his proposed employment and therefore, lacking in the essential eie- ments of the contract.
 'sThfs ruling is not in the. nature of a surprise to my associates and myself for the reason that the de- fects pointed out by Judge Sessions have, been remedied in our 1914 con- tract It is quite natural that the judges comment that he who comes into a court of equity must come with clean hands' should be pleasing to organized baseball, because 1t serves notice lon ali parties that .dfsre- gard of the moral or contractural ob- Hgations of player to his club will not be permitted
 The court goes so far as to hold that the offer of a longer term of employ ment and a. larger salary Is a wfllfnl wrong to the club to which the player owes his allegiance when done for the purpose of having the player violate his cOntract.'

LOCAL RECRUITS
 LOOK. PROMISING
J Johnstone, Kerns, Crook and Johnson Do Well Against
 the Troy Team
(By wagner0

The next time Jake Boultes sees a man from New Haven there will be trouble. A person named HeIlstron wished himself on Manager Boultes yesterday, assuring everybody that he was a. pitcher. He came from New Haven and he probably went right back there after the game at Newf1e1d park. Bridgeport had a. lead of to 3 over Troy of the New York State league in the ninth inning when Hell strorn attempted to thrust the game on the visitors. Troy brought the score up, to to 6 and crowded the bases with two out when HeIlstrom managed to fan the last hitters So Bridgep ort won by that narrow mar gin.
 Manager Bou1tes gave most of his hired hands a chance to show sam ples- Johnstone handled himself cIev- er1y at first base and bumped the ball for, two bases. Gus Johnson, the Providence boy, exhibited lots of speed He managed to beat out an infe1d hit and was also lively in field ing. Manager Bou1tes set a good ex- ample for his men by belting a three bagger and making a circus catch for an unassisted double play.
 MuIveyi didn't have anything to do in the field but exhibited good form at the bat Gallagher. a local boy, did himself proud He blew himself to double and pass in four times up and made a fine catch in the eighth. McShea, who succeeded MuIvey was in the game only long enough to catch fly and draw a pass. The other re- cruits didn't look very promising
 Among the newcomers, who have had experience in other leagues Catcher5 Kearns and Crook, displayed great ability. Kearns moves around like 8 real catcher. The best exhibi tion of backstopping was shown by Crook. who had to handle the wild MT. Hel1strom in the stormy ninth Crook was digging them out of the dirt and jumping to get the high ones when he wasn't trying to calm the re- cruit hur1er.
 Sherman, who made good at the close of last season, worked the first three innings in fair style. He was very wild in the second when he forced in two runs. Sherman report ed on Thursday so didn't make such a bad showing on one days work kout Dick Tuckeys held Troy to one run and two hits during the next three innings Then came Hel1strom and a scare fol the fans. About TOO turned out tc see the fro1ic. The score:

 Troy has two Cubans, who were re- gently secured from the A1mendares team in Havana One is Gonzalez

BATTLING MEL SON IS
 REGULAR BULL MOOSE

Battling Nelson absolutely refuses to stay dead. As a breaker into print the celebrated Hegewisch author has few equals. Only his patron saint, Theodore Roosevelt, has him skinned in this line, and probably Teddy is the only man Bat would allow to get away with a victory over him in any line and hand him cheers besides.
 At Bull Moose headquarters in New York, they are proudly showing let ter received from the ex-1ightweight champion-the toughest. man the prize ring ever knew. Bat is a. Bull Moose leader in Hegewisch and on the back of the national enroIIment card sent him by Oscar S. Straus he wrote:
 Last election was my first vote and travelled thousands of miles to cast it, putting myself out over $1,- 900, and had it not been for good cause I would have passed it up, like did all the other elections
 BAT.''
 Anything that causes Bat Nelson to part with $1,000 must sure have a terrific grip on the Danes fnnards.

 Dean McC1enahan, chairman of Eha Faculty Board of Athletic Control at Princeton believes that the recent gift of the Palmer stadium paves the way for complete and modern athletic and sport equipment at the New Jsr- sey university. He said in discussins the outlook:
 "One of the most gratifying feat ures of the splendid gift fs the fact that it is to be used to obtain an fn- crease of the revenues of tho Uufvsr~ sfty. This increase will enable dlls work of the University to be done even more efficiently This fucreaas will be in the form oR a rental to be paid by the Athletic Association to the University.
 '+The additional revenue from games will in time permit the AEhISt- ic Association to increase 1ts athletic equipment in the form of a baasbau grandstand, a greatly needed base ball cage Hockey rink. and 60 on, unless some other generous saIunnuus or friend meets these ussds beEora the Athletic Association can do 90 ffr self.
