HANN OUT. OF COLUMBIA TEAM
Ex- Crimson Captain Will Not Play
 Against Holy Cross Today.

New York, April 15.--The an nouncement yesterday that Charlie Ham, the former Harvard first base man, had injured bone in his right ankle and would be out of the Co., lumbia lineup in todays game with Holy Cross at South field did not de- press Head Coach Lush much. Lush said that the team was in such fine fettle that Ham could be spared tv rest up a few days without defeat resulting from the move.
 Buncke, who hit so we'll in the Penn series at Atlantic City, will move from right field to first base. 1t will not be new to him, as he played the position part of last sea- son. Danny Meehan has been show ing so much improvement in his few days practice that he probably will play in the outfield today. Coogan, the former Georgetown man. will not play. as he has not been declared eli gible as yet. Jim O'Neale will start in the box for Columbia and Coach Coakley says the slim youth is still in winning form.

Cobb Does Double Service.

Detroit, April 15.--The American league baseball lid was pried off here yesterday, and after struggling through twelve gruelling scoreless in- nings the, St. Louis Browns succeeded in getting two men around in the thir- teenth inning. Wallace opened the hoodoo frame for the Browns with a pretty triple and scored on Agnew's Texas leaguer. The catcher went to third on wild throw by Stanage. Bushs return throw got away from Dauss, who had relieved Dubuc, and Agnew scored.
 It looked to the Tigers like a lost 6zS.Sr-..s when they went to bat in their half. which Bush opened with d single. Banman walked. This brought up Cobb, who up to this time had done nothing with the stick, but upon this occasion he met the ball for three bagger, scoring Bush and Bauman. Neach sent a fly to Shotten. but sem sational sprint on the part of Cobb the winning run.
 Dubuc injured his knee and was compelled to leave the game in the thirteenth inning. The score:

 PITCHING BATTLE
Rebel From Phillies' Camp Performs Brilliantly For BrOokfeds
 Against KnetZcr.

Pittsburg, April 15-The Brooklyn Federal league team deteateo the Pittsburg Rebels by a score of to G in the opening game of the Federai league season here yesterday. The at- tendance was about 1000 and they saw thrills enough to suit the aver" age fan. The young Brooklyn Ter, fielder, Cooper, who was taken by stealth from John McGraw. went into the crowd several times for fly balls and generally came up with the sphere in his hands.
 Tom Seaton was invincible all the way. He had his curve ball working and the home men nearly broke their backs trying to place the ball safe ly. Elmer knctzer the foruer Dodger, who pitched for Pittsburs, was unfortunate in the tenth inning, when he and his infield wavered for a moment, just long enough to let the Tip Tops came under the wire first In the fatal tenth Hof- man walked. Then Capt. Oakes or dered Knetzer to walk Murphy. who looked dangerous. Besides. Wester- gill had been easy for Knetzer. But this time he hit between McDonald's s legs for single, scoring Hoffman with the only run of the game.

CARPENTER BEATS ANOTHER. BRETON French Lion 1amer DispoSts of
 Mitchell in Opening Round.

Paris, April 15.-George s. Mitch ell, the amateur heavyweight cham pion of North England, was knocked out last night by the French cham pion, Georges Carpentier, in the first round after one minute, and 35 sec onds of fighting. At that. he man. aged to last twenty-two seconds long, CT against the French man than did Bombardier Wells in his bout. with Carpenter at the National Sporting club in London a few months ago.
 Mitchell is the nephew of P. H. Ill., igworth. the chief liberal whip in the British parliament and halls from Bradford. He stands six feet three inches, and weighs TIT bout the same weight as Carpenter. He had the advantage. however. of his great height and reach.
 In the single round of the fight, Carpenter knocked the Englishman down five times. Four times he man. aged 10 get to his feet after tn. count of nine, but on the fifth knock down the referee counted only as far as six and then said:
 'Gentlemen, the fight is over. This man has had enough"
 Mitchell entered the contest, he said. in advance, with no idea of beating Carpenter, he was merely cu- rious to see how long he could last. He displayed pluck and managed to land one or two blows on the Frcnchmans chest and shoulders. Before he was finally disposed of. he essayed one vicious swing which would doubtless have knocked out the Frenchman. but it failed to find the mark by a fraction of an inch. The genuine sporting nature of the match and Mitchell's modesty aroused great interest in England and France, and the gymnasium where the contest took place was crowded to the doors.

Cheney went six and a fraction innings for the Cubs and doubtless made d record for himself by unlimbering five of the wildest pitches imaginable. All were costly. and eight bases on balls also helped make Red runs flood across the pan. with often nary a hit to help them along. Koestner went on the mound in the seventh and also was afflicted with the wild pitch habit, his two causing some more Red runs. For the Reds Rube Benton twirled the full route and pitched like a true artist. The victory marked Charley Herzog's debut as a manager. The score:
