 Manager BOulteS announced this morning that he has purchased First Basenlan Ems from New London. Ems k is a yo1lngster who played with Fond a5u Lac in the Wisconsarl-l El limos In league last season He hatted .264 in 100 games and had a fielding average E of .982. He is brother Of Infielder Ems with Providence of the Interna- tiona1 league. Manager Bcultes is satisfied with RncKEntock's hitting, but says the youngster does not cover enough ground in fieIdfng his position. It is cKlintockss first year in. pro fessiona1 ball and it is feared he may not be able to hold the pace. Ems allas the advantage of experiences Mo K1intoch may be tried in the outheld where his hitting will come in handy.
 The manager has released Infte1der Carduff and Pitcher Mclean. The Ia.t- ter was a recruit from Kenton, O.. but he didn't show enough in yprac- tice to warrant using him in a. game. CaTdI1m did not come up to the stand ard either in hitting or fielding Red Waller has not been signed yet, al though he may be in a few days.

BOXING NOTES

Managers of boxers nowadays are quick to take advantage of opportupi-' ties. Recently Billy Murray lwho by the way is Portuguese and not an Italian as many people inag1ne,9 had the good fortune to get draw with Jimmy Clabby in 20-round contest at San Francisco. Previous to this
 match Clabby had contracted with Snowy Baker of Australia for g. tour of that country, with the understand ing that he must sail in April. C1abby fulfilled his engagement with Murray and as per his contract, sailed for Aus tralia. Murray through his manager Jack Kearns, challenged C1abby to an other match, h,sbllt he must have known that Jimmy was under contract to go away. After JiInny's departure Man ager Kearns began to make the best of things and here are a few extracts from a letter just received from him:
 Because of the peculiar action of Jimmy Clabby in running out on Billy Murray, am now claiming the mid d1eweight championship of the world for Murray. I believe that the public will realize the justice of my claim Murray recently boxed C1abiby a draw. Following the. bout Promoter Coffroth offered them a return match Did CIabby accept Not at a1Ii Instead he sailed for Australia irnmediately after the Murray bout Coffroth did everything in his power to get C1abby to consent to return match, but he refused the issue. On this account I am claiming the titIe''
 Had Manager Kearns issued this statement before Clabby departed for the Antipodes, it would have given the Hammond boy a chance to defend himself and his claim to the title. sCIabby is too game a boy to run out of a match with anyone in the world at his weight and it is not right to take advantage of him in this way. | We will admit that Murray is a high class boy; in fact, he must be in order to travel 20 rounds with C1abby, but | it will be far better for him to go along and get his reputation by fight | ing the same as C1abby and no doubt | he will. The chances are he will not
 have to wait a great while, for it is | the intention of C1abby to return to
 the States in about five or six months
 and then the San Francisco boy will
 be given an opportunity to make good
 unless in the meantime C1abby should meet with any setback on the other l side-

YALE TEAM BEATS
 WILLIAMS BY RALLY

Tieing the score in the eighth with a real o1d-tine Yale comeback after trailing a couple of runs behind the major Dart of the game and winning in the ninth when Pitcher Hodge lost control temporarily, Yale was re- venged on Williams yesterday for that defeat of last season which halted her

winning streak, at IT straight. The contest was a fairly tight one through
 out in agreeable contrast to the loose exhibitions which have been the order at the field of late. Not the least pleasing feature of the matinee were the eleven safe waIlops garnered off the same Pitcher Hodge who yielded Yale but sfa hits in last seasons nlemorable set-t .sBus' Brown for Yale was fairly effective throughout. pitching almost air-tight ball after the third inning.

 Who says Hans Wagner is going back? The way the flying Dutchnan is playing again this season does not indicate that he is slipping. Thus far he is whaling the ball at a -367f clip and is the same old hit killer Ins Pittsburgh short field.
 That it pays ball player to keep in condition during the winter months is shown by the work of Eddie Fos-l ter, the Senators star third baseman- At present he is setting a fast clip and. bids fair to be up among the leaders at the end of the season.
 Jack Barry of th e Athletics is ssif = fering from a sore foot, but. though he is out of the game, he sees all the plays. Jack lives across the street from the ball park in Philadel- phia, and is now holding down a re- served seat in his high bay window that gives him clear view of the pro- ceedings.
 John Amherst Henry s big improve ment in hitting this season is due to changing his style at the bat. Until last fall the former Amherst star was a rather weak hitter. Now instead of taking 8 short choppy stroke at |.the ball, he swings hard. Conse- quently he is one of the most danger

NAPOLEON FEARED THE CAR
But Alexander |. Dlned Several Times
With Bonaparte--EIaborate Pre-
cautions Taken.

The interview between the two
sovereigns took place upon boat in
the middle Of the Niemen. in the pres
ence Of both armies drawn up in most
brilliant array on opposite sides OF
the river. 1t is said that Napoleon on
perceiving Alexander, struck with the
beauty of that prince, exclaimed, 1T IS
Apollo." 1t was at this interview that
Alexander for the first time gave Ma
poleon the title of emperor, and
Majesty" whom until then he had not
recognized as the ruler of the French
nation
The boat belonged to Napoleon. Ma
poleon naturally wished to do the non
ors Of the meeting place for the con
ference to the emperor or Russia
Alexander claimed that he was on MS
own shore. Napoleon that he was on
his own boat To put an end to cefe-
monious controversy, Alexander said
Every well, we will enter together.
AS the door was very narrow, the TWO
sOvereigns We're Obliged to squeeze
themselves together 10 enter at the
same time.
The conference lasted a number OF
days, during which the sOvcreigns Wis
tied each other recprOcally. Alex
ander even dined several times with
Napoleon, who would never in his
| turn show the same proof of conf
dence, saying, to justify his fear, i
am not as good as you, sire, and | fear
the people by whom you are sur
rounded" ). When the Emperor Al
eXander dined at the French camp
with several persons of his suite, the
servants carried the dishes Of gold
and placed them on NapOleons table
passing through two lines of grena
diers, who allowed no ore to approach
for fear they might throw poison into
the food
