New Workers. played splendid game
c
If Tom Seaton, the pitcher, had his
way. he would probably never have
jumped to the Federal League. But
Mr.. Seaton has wife who has some
thing to say in such matters, and
she has decreed that her Tom shall
play with the Chicago Feds or play
not at all will he Not even the per-
suasive powers of Billy Shettsline
business manager of the Phillies,
could make a dent in the decision
of Mr.. and Mrs. Seaton to remain
with the OUTLAWS" Tom was will
ing, it is said, but his wife wouldn't
let him.
The Rosevilles and the New Workers
had another of their old time battles
in the Athletic Bowling League this
year, and 1t seems quite natural
to see these teams tied for the lead
with the seasons schedule of games
complete. The teams will be COM
PEELED to roll off for the champion
is certain to be very keen. Roseville
has done well with Its team this
year, and by winning the Athletic
| League championship it has fooled
not few who believed that without
/ the redoubtable Charley Meyer and
the reliable Eddie Pierson it's chances
of success were very slim. True
enough, both Meyer and Plerson were
grand bowlers and did much to bring
victory to Roseville in their many
years of play, but all must admit
that in Hammacher and Negley,
Meyer and Pierson have two very
worthy successors.

The Stadium at Princeton, the gift
of Edgar Palmer, is to be started and
| finished as soon as possible, and the
promise is made that we will see the
Princeton-Yale football game played
within It's enclosure next fall. This
fact will lend added interest to the
contest, for with the always popular
Bulldog in battle with the Tiger the
size of the crowd is sure to be judged
by the capacity of the Stadium,
which, it is said, will be Al 900.
@
Princeton, by the way is shaping
her plans for next seasons work on
erpiA - L.,
open game, we are told, and she will
be on the right track if she takes up
and perfeets the forward pass. That is
the play that will get the money, as
the boys say, and was so thoroughly
demonstrated in the Army Navy game
at the Polo Grounds that the wisest of
the wise bowed their heads to the
play The Army showed us some
clever forward passing and made the
strong Navy team look sick. There
wasn't any fiuke about the passing,
either, and the play stood out as
masterpiece. The cadets were looked
upon as weddings, but they developed
the one play that would bring them
success. Eliminating the forward
pass, the middies would have won
hands down. That is the play to de-
velop and its perfection may be Sc
cured through the proper effort.

Tom Messenger, manager Of Irish
Mahon, has matched his boy to fight
ten rounds with Banty Lewis at Bill
Browns Gym, over in New York, on
the night of Tuesday, April Il. Lewis.
1t Is said has accepted the bout. al
thought l understood that Banty was
to take a trip up through the New
England States for few weeks. Any
way, Jack Mccarthy, the match
maker for Brown, told Messenger to
go ahead and train Mahon, as the
match was surely on. Such a bout
would be the most attractive In sight
at this time. The boys themselves are
good friends, but their friends are bit
ter partisans, fact that recalls that
old saying, Preserve us from our
friends, We'll be well able to deal with
our enemies"
g
AS to the Mahon-Lewis fight. it
would pack Browns gym, just as did
the Weinert- Howard bout. Irish has
many friends, and Banty is very pop
ular. The rivalry would be so keen
that both sides might forget their
good manners. If the match Is surely
on, Mahon will be the favorite. He
is the cleverer of the two, and Lewis
will have nothing on him in expe-
rience. Banty is fast. but it looks
as If Irish would prove his master.
Lewis admits that Mahon is q tough
customer. and he wasn't very keen
on giving him a match If he goes
on with the bout, he will give a good
account of himself, but he seems to
be up against 1t. AS to weight Lewis
Will have the edge, as the conditions
call for t25 pounds, ringside Banty
may be able to make lighter weight,
but it is known that Mahon can do
| 100 pounds easily. The boys are to
get so per cent of the gross receipts,
each to take % per cent. Lewis re-
fused TO fight for less, and he is worth
every cent he receives. He draws a
big crowd to Browns, and If he fights
Mahon the house may not be large
