Cony=Oak Grove
Game Called off

Owing to a disagreement over off,
Gals the basketball game which was
scheduled to have been played between
the Cony girls and the Oak Grove sex
tette Friday afternoon in the Assem-
bly, hall was called off A good sized
crowd had gathered in the hall, and
naturally was somewhat disappointed
when the announcement was made
that there would be no game.
Girls teams representing different
classes in the Cony High school We're
quickly formed, however, and the spir-
it with which these girls entered the
play made the spectators forget to a
large extent their disappointment over
the main game. The boys teams were
soon in action, furnishing a good show
for the lovers of the game. AS the
games had not been previously planned
the scores were not kept.

Fred Doe FavOrS
The Colonial League

Talking to a newspaper man IN Fall
River the other day Fred Doe, former
BASEBALL and polo player and manager,
expressed himself as a believer in the
new Colonial baseball league. Doe is
now selling a speciality in mill supplies,
being a heavy owner in Boston cons
Germ, and his fame in sporting circles
has been of ValueN~to him in the pur-
suit OF business.
Il see that the Little Old New Eng
land League has a rival, so to speak, "
Fred remarks. well, take it from me,
Jack OBrien will make a greater sue
cess with his Colonial circuit than
the New England League has been
for many years, unless my Judgment
of his baseball ability is awry. The
Colonial is my ideal of circuit. 1t
means comparatively small transpor-
tatior expense, each team will prob
ably have a natural rival and the SAL
airy limit will not be a burden, though
sufficiently high to Justify obtaining
the usual minor league price for the
games.
"Bt that is by no means its only
advantage. Just imagine what an OPP
portunity there is to develop young
players, and by using the best of home
red up. / look to the magnates on this
circuit to play this feature as far as 1T
will safely go, and if the league doesn't
prove a money winner then I have no
faith in baseball as an investment"

MCGraW Joins Team
MEN Looking Well

A special from Marlin, Tex, to the
New York Evening Telegram, dated
Thursday, March T.. says;
Before assem- ling his squqad of
athletes this morning, McGraw had an
other conference with Chief Mey-
ers, Matthewson and one or two ether
veterans who the manager of the Gil
ants has come to recognize as his chief
iieutenants Just what the gist of the
o. MIA WAS has not leaked out, but
it was minated that the Little Ma
pCleon" was anxious to find out just
how the young pitchers looked.
If that is what he wanted to know
his regulars could have told him but
one thing-they look great. They have
been showing a deal of snap ever since
they arrived here. They have worked
the kinks out of their arms and are
prepared to cut loose with some real
curve ball pitching just as soon as he
gives the word.
This does not mean that some of
them, if not all, have not already
hooked the ball a'bit. 1t would be next
to impossible to slip a hall into the
hands of an ambitious young pitcher
without having him try to bend it
first thing. They all seem to think
that they may have forgotten how
to curve the horse hide during the
off season and until they have salts
fed their curiosity one might just as
well Try to fly as to hold them in
check
Generally the penalty for this early
strain on their arms is sore wing
that keeps the trainers busy several
days ironing out the kinks" as Gov
ernor Tener would say. A lot of the
infelders and outfelders assert that
it wouldn't be necessary to have train
ers with ball club if it were not for
the pitchers.
But Dick" Kinsella has succeeded
remarkably well IN keeping the young
sters under the checkmate. As a re-
suit McGraw now has as nifty bunch
of youthful pitchers as ever tried to
curve its way into the big show.
All that has been stated about the
youngsters can be reiterated with ad-
jectives when referring to the regu-
lars on the staff. They are in excellent
trim. They look much better than
every fan" remembers that they
seemed fit at that time.
Tesreau is confident that this is GO
ing to be his best year. He seems to
have more speed than ever and Mey-
ers agrees that his curve ball is big
Improvement over the one he was US
ing last season. "It breaks a few feet
in front of the plate and is much sharp
err than before" says the Chief"
Outdoor life in California seems to
have done "Matty" a world of good.
He has been taking things easy, but
feels that he has now worked his arm
up to that stage where he will be able
to take some chances with it and it
would not be surprising to see big
Six" bending EN- within the next few
DAYS.

Sporting Gossip OF the Day
Shade Of Arson to Irwin.
Houston (Tex.) Post,1

(The shade of Adrian C. Arson of
1880 speaks to the portly ghost of
Arthur Irwin, who was there or
thereabouts in thin halcyon days.:
I've wandered Ger the training
camps,
I've paused a while to see
How time has treated with the
game
That fostered you and me;
There's many change in the old
sport, Art,
From what we used to know,
And baseball's not just what it was
Some twenty years ago.
We trained in Texas in those days
That ne'er may come again,
But the training camp we used to
know
Has passed beyond our ken;
A dollar shack was sumptuous hail.
For stars of old to know
The lobster palace has come in
Since twenty years ago.
We gave the best we had each day
And trusted to the sun,
These lads today call in a man
When rubbing's to be done
And Charlie Barrett's twisting
kinks
From dawn to evenings glow;
He'd had a fit II asked to rub
Us twenty years ago.
They ride from lobby to the park,
Where once we trod the hoof
And moving pictures follow them
From cellar to the roof;
The times may change conditions,
Art.
And make our day look slow;
But many team don't measure
up
To twenty years ago!

BOXING NOTES

New York Globe-The long talked
of bout between Gunboat Smith and
Battling Levingsy may soon be real
ity. The Mcmahon brothers. man.
ayers of the Empire A. c., have begun
negotiations for the match, and its
contamination depends solely upon
Jim Buckley's acceptance of the terms
offered. 1t is understood that Buck
ley demands fiat guarantee of $4,000
for Smith, while Dan Morgan. Le-
vinksys manager, is willing to sign
articles for anything or nothing, sc
anxious is he to get the "Gooner" in
the same ring with Barney.
For the boxers who compete for the
National amateur championships next
year, big incentive will be offered by
the A. A. L. 1t is settled that the 1915
championships will, like on April II
and is Of this year, be held in Boston
under the auspices of the B. A. A,
but at an earlier date. The winners in
the 1915 meeting will have all their
expenses paid by the A. A. U. to San
Francisco to compete in tournament
to he held in that city in April in con-
junction with the Panama-Pacilic Ex-
position.
The boxing game is booming in
Montana.
Jack Blackburn, having rounded
back into form, wants to get crack
at~"Bat" Levinsky.
Lord Lonsdale, the wealthy boxing
enthusiast of England, will not be
swerved from his idea that the English
title weights and the weighing-in time
are the best. He is right in his stand
against ringside weighing.
Denny Hough, another English
"hcpo" who looked promising, was bad
~ bumped by Dick Smith in their bout
in London the other night for the
Lord Lonsdale electromagnetic
championship belt. Smith won in 20
rounds. Frank Moran, who saw Hough
box, predicted he could defeat any of
the boxers over here. That is one more
instance Of a boxers judgment not be-
ing worth much.
