DOD0 MAHER IS
 KNOCKED COLD
YeIIe Wins From MOriarify In Boxing Show At New.
 Haven
oNew Haven Journal-cour4er.)

0New Haven Journa1-Courfer.)
 For the first time during his eight years or more Of fighting, Dodo Ma her was forced to sprawl in the resin dust while the fatal seconds were be- ing counted over his body. At the Casino last might the unexpected came about and Frankie Mack, a Bos- ton youth, was the shining light who delivered the necessary punch.
 But two minutes and 45 seconds had elapsed in the first round of a. sched- uled ten-round battle when hostiIities halted. The result was in a way the biggest surprise that has been handed the local boxing fraternity in many years.
 Fred Yelle, New England's light weight champion, so far outclassed Gene Moriarfty in the start bout that a towel thrown from the latter's dor ner in the seventh round was accept ed as token of defeat. Eddie O'Brien stopped Kid Bunyan in nine rounds and Chick Brown outpointed Red, Mack in a Whir1wind bout of eight rounds duration
 Dodo Maher's defeat last night marked the fourth straight for the veteran and by this time he must be fully convinced that his fighting days are about over. Bunny Ford Gene Moriarity, Young Otto and Frankie Mack have turned the trick on success sive attempts and in each instance he was defeated beyond dispute.

M'GRAW AFTER YOUNG lNFIELDER
 ON AUSTIN TEAM

Galveston, Tex, March 27-TheA main column of John McGraw's Texas tour ists ran into a fog the first day out of Marlin and could not lay by cent for the New York club Some thing that was identified variously as a drizzle. La rain or a fog drifted in from the sea yesterday noon and put a damper on the game that was sched- uIed- tsSS
 Though it was evident that no game would be played, the athletes went on the field and tossed the ball for about ten minutes. Then the heavy squau overlook them, and they sought the shelter of their omnibus and returned to the hotel After the game today the Giants will leave for Houaton on a special interurban car, which will make the run in less than two hours
 McGraw will rejoin the first team at Houston Saturday morning His ob- ject in going to Austin withsthe Texas Colts was to take a peek at an inf1eld- CT on the Austin team. He will be in San Antonio tonight and possibly may show up in Houston with some definite information concerning Arthur Sha- fer.
 One of the reasons why McGraw did not visit Galveston this trip is the fact that GaIveston's new manager is Paul Sentel1, formerly an infielder for the BfookIyn team. It will be recalled that Sente1l and AncGraw tried to alter each others maps at the Polo Grounds several years ago and McGraw has evidently not forgotten the alterca- tion-

FRANKIE FLEMING TO COMPLETE HIS
 TRAINING SUNDAY

While Matchmaker Hogan of the Union Boating Club was in New Ha- ven last night he met a number ot the fans of that city and was told that New Haven will send over a large delegation to see the show which will be staged at the new Casino on State street next Monday evening.
 Frankie Fleming and his manager will arrive here Sunday night or early Monday morning. Fleming will finish his training Sunday. He writes that he will have no difficulty in making the required weight. McAuiffe, who will meet Fleming, is hard at work every day ard VIII De in fine shape when he enters the ring.
 Moriarity and West, the semi final boys, will reach here Monday ready for their ten round argument West 8 friends think he will hand something to the New Yorker for he is unde- feated and can pass out the stiff wal Iops in good style. Allen and Palma who will open the show are letting up on their training and from now until Monday night they win take things easy.

LENINSKY WOULD HAVE
 NO CHANGE WITH SMITH

Boxing form has many queer angles For instance, there are many who think that Battling Ievinsky has a good chance; to defeat Gunboat Smith Yet Izevinsky was no match for Bob Moha in their recent bout, although
 a Moha-Smith bout would be con sidered decidedly one sided Moha is stunted little fellow, no taller than Ad WolEast and he Could not be expacted to hold his oyvn with the leader Of the white hopess.
 As a matter of fact Levinsky seems to <be overrated and may not cause Smith nearly as much trouble as ex- pected. With his elusive footworfE and cautious defence it has been an easy mater for Levinsky to outpoint a number of cuTnb ersome. elow-mov- ing third raters. but he has yet to de- feat a. boxer of any standing.
 His superior sped alone accounts for what success Levinelzy has had. That. he is an exceptionally skflfu1 boxer is shown by the results of his bouts with Eddie McGoorty, Young Weinert and Bob McA1lieter.

TROUNCE
 ATLANTA PLAYERS
Holden Gets Two Hits-Ray !: Keating III And Takes.
 Rest

Atlanta, Ga, March 27.,The Tam kees looked better yesterday than they have in any of the other exhibi- ton games. They played the game in big league form, and had very lit tie difficulty in defeating the Atlanta Crackers, the champions of the South ern 6 league. The New Workers hit well, and the pitching of Carl Thomp son, who was with the Atlanta team last season, and Jack Warhop was all that could be asked for The score at the end of the t1sse1 was 12 to g.
 Carl Thompson, who is known as the neatest dresser in baseball and who wears monocle. was on the mound for four innings, and all that the Crackers could secure from his fast ones and curves was three hits.
 The New, Workers could no nothing with R1Fbe Kissinger. who has been well known as a big league hurler, until the fifth inning, when Chance got out on the coaching lines, and when the round was over the Tanks had piled up seven runs
 Jimmy Walsh was very much in the Iimelight again with his bat, aIl- around fielding, and base running. It was his double in the fourth inning that produced the first run of the New Workers, for Williams put Walsh on third as hewent out 8 grounder ana scored on E1OldenS s long SaCr1nC6 fly to right field. Holden got two hits.
 Tn the seventh inning Jimmy slam med one to deep left centre for a home rum. It was a clean drive and scored HartzeH and Holden ahead Of him. Roy had reached first by being hit by a, pitched ball, and advanced on HoIden's single to centre.

Chief Meyers is great mechanical catcher" says Buck Herzog, and a crashing batter, but I tremble when think of what might happen to him or his team if McGraw didn't exercise unfailfng vigilance. It may seem be- yond belief. but whichever a. new white ball is thrown into play the chief, un- less McGraw spots him Instantly, will always signal for a slow curve-rthe one delivery that would be instantly slaughtered by even the weakest bats man The Giants wouldn't go far without McGraw, believe. me"

 MURPHY IS SURELY

t.I am of the firm belief that Chas. w Murphy is no longer connected with the Chicago Cubs in any way said Gov. John K.

 We still have some work to do in Chicago, for the job there is onay half finished. I'll not be satisfied until that club is controlled by Chicago cap italists. I think that will be a reality in the near future. Several persons or syndicates are in the field as pros pectivs buyers, the syndicate headed by Connery having offered the highest cash price,
