signed up with the Calais team of the Maine-New Brunswick league and in sixty games hit for an average of .314 and feldAd his position in the outer garden with an average of .95O.
 From Calais he went to the Port land team in the New England league and then hooked up with the Lynn team. This club retained his ser- vices and he reports to them tomor- row. While in the New England league during the latter part of last season Jacobson played in seventeen games, fielding his position accurately and hitting for .227. He is now the regular centerflelder and will retain that position unless some one of the new recruits beats him out, which is unlikely.
 The New England league opens on April 2s, Lynn playing with Fitch burg at the latter's grounds. P. J. Flaherty. a former Boston National pitcher and who also pitched for Hart ford in the old Connecticut league. ,s the manager of the Lynn asFresa- ton.

Every day the camp is astir at 5 o'clock in the morning and then as an appetizer Jim and his staff hit the country roads for ten or fifteen miles just to get the sleep out of their eyes. A light breakfast is next on the pro- gram and then the real work starts. Until 12 o'clock the whole crowd cuts and saws wood. If you don't believe it just slip down to the farm and see the forest land they have laid waste. One big oak tree that for merely fas king of it's kind in that section has been made into a million toothpicks and few cords of kind ling wood.
 Dinner is next, and such d inner. Sirloin or porterhouse steaks are usually the piece de resistance. And, man, y'oughta see them steaks fly. A whole pile disappears like a snow drift under a hot sun. Plenty of vegetables and no pastry finishes the meal.
 After the food has kind of got shaken down Jim puts on his gloves and calls for the first victim. Up hops Bob Lee and at it they go. Bob is like a shadow on his feet and his hands fly like fails. But only a few blows land as Jim is even quicker in blocking. After Bob begins to feel a bit tired someone else takes up his job and so on until the whole crew has been eliminated.

Come on man, put some steam into dem punches. Gracious Lawd, how d. you all expect feller to get up a sweat? Hit 'er up Bob, oT boy, hit 'er up.'
 Jim Johnson was talking. Jim, it must be known, was given the popu- lar verdict over Jack Johnson, the heavyweight champion of the world, when they met in Paris on December 14, 1913, but the referee awarded the bout to Jack. Jim and four other ebony-hued gents are down at F. $. McMahons farm in kensington, where he is training for his bout with Sam Langford, the Boston Tar Baby" in I;oston on April 2S. Even now he is prepared to step into the ring and give Sam the incest little tarring and feathering he ever got in his young and innocent life.
 Johnson is working hard for the I.angford bout and after he conquers San1-he feels certain he will turn the trick-he will challenge Jack John- sen to another fight and means to just clout him all over Paris or wherever the fight is held.
 Those assisting Johnson to get into trim are Bob Lee Of Australia, his sparring partner: Bert Wherlin of Pennsylvania, Bill Watkins, the light heavy champ of the south and Lucius (Jack) Johnson, his brother.

Mccoy Is Popular.

Challenging Al Mccoy is the reg |ular thing for middleweights these days. Two weeks ago Al wasn't given tumble. Chip just took him on to try his mended hand out. Now the other aspirants for the title reck- |pn Mccoy as their own particular 'rrey. But it is hardly likely that any |bf the top-notchers will get an early track at old Jack Dougherty's f.champion.'' Jack hasn't had any hing so close to a title in his stable II fifteen years or more. I think Matty Matthews was the last bona Ede champion the veteran trainer rhaperoned. And he isn't going to
 lake any chances of losing out this
 ilne-even if it is only a near title Lat least not until he, gets all the easy dough in sight. Jack told me
 he other day that I am not the only
 'actor'-and that I will have to fig gre Mccoy as "rivap' from now on. Well, I am glad for Jacks sake that
 Mccoy put that lucky punch over. Neither Dougherty nor Mccoy attempt
 Q deny that it was of the lucky
 rariety. It was very lucky for both pf them, and unlucky for Jimmy Dime and his New Castle scrapper.
 If Mccoy proves an attraction he xill be kept on the stage as long as he can draw, and there will be abso-

HIGGINS FOULED BUT
 REFEREE GOES BLIND
Local Boy Rit Whtl Rt Was Down
 by J]Ck kershsW. ...
Especial to the Herald.D

Mddletown. April 1S.-f Referee gone suddenly blind last night at the bouts at the Middletown A. A. Bat ting Eddie" Higgins of New Britain would have been awarded his en. counter with Jack Kershaw of Hart , ford on foul. As it was Glover stopped the bout in the second round as Higgins was in distress.
 The boys appeared well mated, al- though Kershaw looked to be better trained. In the opening round Ker- shaw landed on Higgins jaw and sentA' him to the floor dazed. Kershaw stood over Higgins waiting to give him wallop as he regained his feet. Higgins got to his knees and Kershaw was so anxious that he let him have a razzle dazzle. The crowd yelled Four and Joe" Ryan, Patsy" Bridget and Honest John Willis, who were in Higgins corner claimed the bout on the foul. Glover ruled that there was no foul and the bout proceeded.
 In the second, Kershaw gave Hig- gins vicious clip on the jaw and sent him down. As soon as he rose he was f1oored with another right to the jaw. Pluckily he resumed his feet but before he could get on guard Kershaw planted his left into his wind and Higgins went down heavily. He wanted to resume the fight but Glover stopped the bout.
 In the main go of the evening Fighting Johnny Burt of New York gave Eddie" O'Brien his first knock out of his professional career. The fight went three rounds when Glover ruled O'Brien out although he was on his feet.
 From the opening it was seen that Burt was O'Brien's superior, although smaller of stature and with a shorter reach. Burt was as full of tricks as cigarette is full of tobacco and set the pace from the beginning. He soon had O'Brien bleeding from the nose and a cut on his lip. Tn the third he caught the New Haven boy lallapalossa on the jaw and sent him to the floor. As O'Brien fell he struck his head heavily on the floor. This dazed him and although he was on his feet when Glover counted ten and wanted to continue Glover ruled that he had been knocked out. A pe- culiar feature was that Glover's ten" and the bell for the end of the round came simultaneously, emitting O'Brien to another round if he choose to go on. Burt didn't even get up a sweat
 In the opening round "Kid' Vim cent and Jack" Curley two Mid- dletown boys, slugged each other for six rounds. After the second both were winded and tired and for the i, rest of the distance they were sat- isfied with pushing each other around the ring. s. As an added attraction a section of the bleachers on which about seventy five fans were seated caved in and foored them all.
 A small crowd saw the fights and it was reported that the matchmaker went s200 in the hole.

Phillies Beat Giants.
 Philadelphia, April 1S.--There were several good and substantial reasons why the Giants lost to the Phillies the second one played of the series, by the score of to 1. Jeff Tesreau pitched good ball, but there were overshadow- ing causes that led up to the Phillies' victory. In the first place Joe Mayer seemed to be just in the humor of pitching and he was so ably supported in the field, that on two occasions it was nothing more nor less than high way robbery for Cravath and Murphy te. complete their star stunts. Besides these things Larry Mclean dropped a throw to the plate that cost run and added to the downfall. The score:

AZ NcCoy Suddenly Finds
 Himself Popular Scratper
After Sending George Chip to Sleep He Finds all the Would-bes in New York and Other Cities
 Seeking Matches.

If it hadn't been for that Al Me- |Coy-George Chip surprise party over |in Brooklyn last week no one would |imagine that New York is still on the Ipugflistic map. Hardly ring star is seen about here nowadays-Cali- |fornia and middle west promoters must have them all signed up or |something. Jim Coffroth and Tom McCarey have a number of stars cor Iralled in San Francisco and Los Angeles. Unless Billy Gibson or the McMahon Brothers, the big towns Foremost promoters, hurry and grab a few stars Gotham rans will have to turn to baseball for their enter |tainment. There are any number of so-called boxing clubs in Greater New York, but the matchmakers of most of them seem to think that it . is unnecessary to dig up a boxer or two of portance, or new face, oc- |casiorally. They stage bouts between the same old boxers week after week ---and then complain about business being bad
 Let's look over the programs the California clubs are working on. First wc have the Freddy Welch-Leach Cross bout on April 2S-a bang up ai;ractinn-a McCarey's Los Angeles siDh. TWO weeks later McCarey will etfcr Joe Rivers and .Ad Wolgast in a tweEty round contest, and on June 9 match for the bantamweight Championship between Johnny Coulon. the holder, and Kid Williams, of Baltimore. the recognized legitimate Challenger. Then on the Fourth of July both McCarey and Coffroth will have star attractions at their clubs.
 Coffroth plans to stage the Gunboat Smith less Willard match on the big holidays providing Tom Jones
 makes good his promise to produce the Gunboat's end of $7,5oO and take chances on getting anything for Will lard. And on the same day McCarey figures on holding a genuine worlds Championship lightweight match be- tween Willie Ritchie and Freddy Welch to entertain Los Angeles patrons of the sport.
 Those are the pretentious and am- bilious programs the hustling Cali fornia promoters are working on. Wish we had few such live ones about here.
 Leach Cross will try to pull an inn pressive come back on April 28 when he boxes Welch. Leach's plan is to aim for Freddy's jaw with that dead ly right as often as he can get in position, with the hope that at least one will connect and bring the Brit isher to the floor for the count of ten. And any old way one figures the bout that's Leachie's only chance. If he tries to box Welch he will look like a boy who never had the gloves on be- fore. Fred made Joe Rivers appear raw beginner and Rivers outboxed Cross not so very long ago. Yes, Leach will have to pull an "Al Mo Coy'' or be retired to the rear for good and all. On recent form he hardly can be considered in the run ring any longer, and 1t will require Eomething sensational to restore him to good standing.

 New York, April 1s.--A two days pause between rounds didn't dull the edge of the speed of the high step- ping New Yorks. Yesterday they continued the subjugation of the Ath-

 Yesterday they didn't even let the champions of creation score. The score was to in favor of the un- afraid myrmidons of Chance and while fastening the shutout yoke to the un- willing but not necessarily rough necks
