Who beat the Athletics twice.
Boston, Mass, Oct. 13-"The Ath-
letics were the easiest team to beat
that I have faced all year, or in any Of
the other seven years Of my pitching
experience. I had heard so much
about their slugging powers, and I
found that they could not live up to
their regulations. I'd rather pitch
against the Athletics all year long
than the worst teams in the National
or American leagues. and know that
~ average would show far better.
They swung at anything fed
them. whether it was low, high or
wide They showed no batting tudg-
ment and they were a cinch. wAS
nervous during the first three innings
of the first game I pitched against
them, but after I had pitched to the
entire team just once I figured had

Coach Madden had another large squad
out yesterday and held a short scrim-
mage. He drilled the second team in some
Of the plays likely to be used by Villa
nova on Saturday and used the varsity in
breaking up the formations. He gave the
men special instruction in watching the
forward pass and showed them a defen-
sive way of breaking them up whenever
they were tried.
After the scrimmage the team was given
a long signal drill in which the plays de-
vised for the game with ViIlanova were
rehearsed. The rough edges were taken
of some Of the old plays and the possibil-
lty Of fumbles was prevented. It has
been noticed in the past that the back

Instructed them in the way to carry the

He worked with the back field in per-

The Richmond fans and the followers
of the Georgetown team are sure to Wit
ness an eleven that is thoroughly capa-
ble in the handling of the forward pass
when the Hilltoppers step on the Broad
street gridiron at Richmond, Va, SaIur-
day to meet the Washington and Lee
team.
Coach Exendine has been driving the
Blue and Gray squad at top speed in the
practices this week. The forward pass
has been tried continually. The Hilltop
backs have been called upon to shoot the
oval from all angles and have also been
called upon to receive it on long and
short runs.
Two and one-haIf hours Of work along
this line was the program at the Hilltop
yesterday, although Fullback Nork and
Wiesser were given turns in Punting.
Coach Exendine is not satisfied with the
work of the kickers in the early season
games and he is making an effort to
perfect this department before the clash
with Washington and Lee.

Are to Meet May 9th in Empire Ath-

Gunboat Smith and Battling Le- vinskl. leading contenders for the white heavyweight championship, have been matched to box ten rounds at the Empire Athletic club in New York on Friday night, May 8. This was an nounced by Jesse and Eddie McMahon. managers of the Empire club.
 The terms on which the match was made were not made public, but it is understood that Smith will receive d guarantee of S4,0O0 Morgan, believ- ing that the gate receipts will mount into the thousands of dollars, has agreed to accept a percentage and be- lieves that his share of the purse will be the larger.
 The boxing enthusiasts have long wanted to see Morgan's boxer con- fronted by an experienced man who possessed both hitting ability and a fair degree of boxing skill. Such a man, beyond all question of doubt, is Smith, and if Levinsky manages to defeat him decisively he will be rec ognized as the best of the big fel lows.

WARNS FEDERALS.
Stallines Will Jail Feds Representa- tiVes if They Approach His Players.

George Stallings, manager of the Boston National league baseball club. announced at Macon. Ga, recently that he had obtained an injunction to pre- vent agents of the Federal league from having communication with any mem Der of the Boston club.
 The injunction was obtained from Judge Mathews of the superior court at Macon under provisions of the Georgia contract law.
 If any Federal league representa- tive comes to Macon or any point in the state of Georgia and attmepts to get my players away from me I'll put him in jail as sure as he gets off & troin,' said Stallings.
 '"The Georgia labor contract law is explicit on the point. When an em- ployer has signed an employe to a con tract calling for his services for a stated time, any other employer is vio- lating the law when he attempts to get the employe under contract to violate that contract with a view to taking employment with another party.
 We have been waiting for some Fed eral league agent to come to Macon. am sorry the news leaked out as we were looking forward with pleasure to the arrival of an emissary of the Fed erals"
 Stalling5 made the announcement only after it became known generally that an injunction had been granted

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
RAILROADS STRONGER.
Due to Administrations Favor of In
 creased Freight Rates.

New York, March 20-An advance which began in the eastern railroad stocks today ultimately extended through the market which showed ma terial improvement at the close. Ra1l- road shares were most conspicuous in the days dealings, and their strength was associated with intimations from Washington that the administration favored an advance in freight rates for the eastern lines. Railroad shares were bought steadily throughout the session. and prices advanced in 8 quietfi even way which indicated un- deriving strength. Industrial stocks held back for time. but at last join ed in the upturn. although their gains as a whole were less important
 The market was slow in getting un- der way. chiefly on account of renew ed pressure from abroad American stocks were depressed in London and there were free offerings here for for eign account This selling failed to depress the market but the greater part of the advance was delayed until the latter part of the day, after for eign liquidation had ceased.
 Steel Jagged behind, but in the end it made a good showing. There were more pessimistic reports from the steel trade, dealing with price conces- sions and the prospects for curtai1- ment of operations. Coppers were helped by expansion of the export movement of the metal and a report ed increase in domestic consumption.
 Prospects were for another good bank statement. The weeks collec= ton movement of currency called for cash gain of $3,000,O00 or more. Time money rates showed an easier tendency.
 In the bond market there was an irregular movement. Some of the speculative bonds which recently have moved widely reversed their courses. Total sales. par value, S2,630. 900.
