Giants Get Revenge
on New Orleans Nine

Although John McGraw was absent
the New York club did not lack for
executives. In addition to Cy Seymour,
John h. Foster and Harry \. Hemp
stead were with the party. Mr.. Hemp
stead sat on the bench with his players.
JEFF Tesreau escaped from the Texas
badger belt in safety, only to fall

Louis may resume her place among the

A wad of paper flung by the careless
hand of a young pitcher struck one of
the Giant veterans squarely behind the
ear during the trip from New Orleans
The paper was pointed, and since 1t
was thrown with considerable force
the incident seemed TO impress the
veteran most unfavorably. He turned
and was about TO speak harshly to the
vounester. but he thought better of 1t.
"Son." he remarked kindly. don't do
that again. In a few weeks you'll be
sent down here or to one of the smaller
leagues, and it's my belief that you
want to save that arm of yours mighty
carefully if you expect to get by in the
bushes"
Fletcher figured in two brilliant
plays this afternoon. Upon one occa-
sion he raced far across the foul line
TO make a running catch, and on the
other he made a remarkably fast throw
Of ball which Lobert just managed to
knock down.
Jim Thorpe did not strike out once
to-day and made d sacrifice and a clean
single.
Up to a late hour the New York
Giant Auction Bridge Syndicate has
not been in position TO declare any
dividends on Harry n. Hampstead.
Although Jim Thorpe, Red Murray
and Fred Snodgrass played this alter
noon, the rooters of Gulfport still main
tain that Ty Cobb is the best outfielder
who has ever performed in this town.
II must be remembered that Cobb is
fellow Southerner.

CHIP TOO STRONG
FOR AL MCCOY
George Twice Knocks
Down Man Who Took
Title Away from Him.

AL Mccoy, who knocked out George
Chip in the first round of bout JUST
a year ago to-day, thereby gaining the
middleweight championship OF the
world, is still the holder of the title
although Chip beat him from pillar "a
post in their return bout last night al
the Broadway Sporting Club, Of Brook
Ign.
Twice in the ninth round Chip sent
Mccoy crashing TO the floor from ter
rife left and light uppercuts, the
champion taking the count OF nine
each time. In the last round Chip
tried hard TO finish his man, but Nc
Gov entwined his arms about his oppo-
nent and clung like a leech, and Chip
could not shake him off in time to win
with a knockout.
Five thousand enthusiasts were
TANNED into the clubhouse when the
main bout was put on. Peerless Johnny
Dunn, the announcer, Grated TO the
effect that Chip weighed IN at 1924
pounds and Mccoy at 1871.
Mccoy wore sneering smile as ne
waited for the gong, but Chip was IN
deadly earnest and never lost the look
Of ferocity with which he scowled at
the man who had robbed him Of his
crown by lucky punch a year before.
Chip leaped from his corner when
the bell rang and began to force the
going at once Crouching low. with
his left well extended, he never took a
backward step as he chased Mccoy
from one corner TO the other
The Newcastle man left himself wide
open in the first three rounds, but Nc
Gov did not take advantage of this, and
Chip worked his way into close quar-
tiers, ripping hard uppercuts to AIS
jaw.
Mccoy was palpably nervous
throughout, and appeared TO mold
Chips right hand in wholesom re-
spect. The former champion kent on
top of Mccoy ceaselessly and began
to shoot in jarring rights to the body,
shaking Mccoy badly.
Every round with the exception o.
the second, which was even, was IN
Chip's favor. and in the eighth his sec
onds told him to "go after him"
The Newcastle miner Obeyed instruc-
tons to the letter, and went after Nc
Gov like an enraged bull. The cham
rion held with all his strength in the
clinches. and Chip had TO fight his way
clear Half dozen stiff rights to the
BODY made Mccoy gasp, and the crowd
rose in frenzy and pleaded for a
knockout.
At the end of the eighth Mccoy had
lost the forced smile from his lips, and
a look of anxiety and fear took its
place. Savagely Chip tore in, rocking
his opponent with wicked rights and
lefts TO the head and body. Mccoy
began the ninth with rush in vain
attempt to stem the tide, but Chip met
him in mid-ring and shot a terrific
right to the body, spinning Mccoy
around.
Like a fash, Chip shot left upper
cut to the jaw and Mccoy went down,
blood streaming from his mouth. Al
ter rising he fell into a clinch, but
Chin showed him OF. and again sent
in an uppercut. flooring the champion
for a long count. The bell rang ana
Mccoy staggered to his corner. In
the final round the Newcastle boy was
wild and Mccoy just lasted the limit.

Scores Enough Runs in One
Inning to Win-Rucker
Fans with Three
on Bags.

CFrom stan Correspondent OF The Tibuns)
Richmond, Va, April 6.-Jack Dunn's
international League nine had its one
big inning in to-day's game against the
Superbas, which Melted it quartet of
runs. This proved enough to win, as
the best the big leaguers could do was
to garner three TALES.
Big Pfeffer evidently held the Nir-
ginians too chesply, figuring that his
teammates would eventually win out in
the last five innings. On two or three
occasions Brooklyn did threaten to
make things interesting for Morrissette,
but his splitter" was working so nicely
that Dunn allowed him to work the full
nine innings.
Rucker pitched the last three innings
for the Superbas The onetime irwin
chile southpaw held his opponents TO
one hit in three innings Nap used
little but a slow drop. This, however,
allowed him 10 put many strike over
on the Nirginians.

In their campaign of education the
Giants were assisted by the New Or

Giants won by score of ? TO /. Nc
Graw's men were outhit, however. for
the third successive time.
John McGraw did not accompany the
team from New Orleans. and Cy Sey-
mour was i'm charge. Cy proved himself
a leader of the soundest principles, for
he implored his men to keep alive
10 "hit 'er out" and TO take a lead"
The winning run was entirely ortho-
dox. In the seventh inning. after Muir
ray had singled and Jim Thorpe had
advanced him to second with sacri-
flee, Harry Smith banged the ball far
over the head of the left fielder for
throe-base hit. BY virtue of single
and a stolen base, New Orleans got 8

ing, but RUDE Schauer struck out

first inning a base on balls to Snod-
grass, his steal of second and Lobert's

second run in the seventh came after
Morgan had retired in favor of an
enormously long young man named

Star Southpaw of Virginia
Team Subjected to Ter
rife Bombardment by
Donovan's Men.

Norfolk, Va, April 6.-The New York
Yankees defeated Norfolk to-day by a
score Of II to .. They effected this
victory so .ssily that Bill Donovan
was able TO employ a platoon of colts
during the latter half of the game.
Perhaps more pleasing than victory
itself was the manner in which the
first line array went after the offerings
Of HUMPHREYS, the star southpaw Of
Norfolk. In six innings Donovan's men
combcd this portsider for thirteen hits
and stole half a dozen cushions. Ten
o. the scores were rung up during this
period.
Norfolk. Of course, is not possessed
OF major league strength, but the man
ner in which the Yankees went out
for runs proved that DO.ovan had his
boys hooked up pretty well IN any
event
The field was heavy in spots, which
prevented any display of speed. Yet
twice double steals were effected, and
on another occasion, when one failed,
Doc Cook held up long enough TO allow
Cree TO score. New York's defensive
game was brilliant, in spite of the fact
that Donovan threw Bauman, Mullen,
Aragon and Schwert into the pit in
the last half.
Hugh High. whose record .ad been
clean until today, was guilty of the
only error. lie was bit careless IN
going after Clcveland's single IN the
eighth. Instead of blocking 1t. he
played II with his bare hand, and the
ball got through him for three bases.
The hit scored Weller, who had singled,
with one out, and put the batter on
third. in position to tally on long fly.
A clean play by High would have shut
out Norfolk
Fisher who pitched five innings, was
never extended. Stewart opened the
third with a two base hit, but the next
two men famed and the third grounded
TO Naisel Two singles and double
were punched IN the fifth. Cook killed
of the first hit when Foiles tried TO
stretch il to two sacks. With third and
second occupied. Fisher struck out
New York broke away into the lead
in the first. High walked with one out
and raced 10 third when Cree dumped
a clean single into right on hit and
run play. Pipp grounded to second,
but High tailed on Cooks scratch hit
in front of the box. On an attempted
double steal Cook held back long
enough to permit Cree TO score.
High .inglei with two out IN the
third. and Cree was safe on Carness
error. They worked double steal on
a short passed ball lnfeld single by
Pipp and Mullen and a bad return OF
a throw TO break up a double steal re
suited in three runs.

JURISDICTION OF
COURT DISPUTED

Bangor, Me-, March 1s.-The claim
of Werner Horn that his attempt to
destroy the international railway
bridge at Vanceboro was an act of
war, figured in proceedings before
United States Commissioner H. Reid

ments returned against him in the

gal interstate transportation of explo.
sives from New York to Vanceboro.
Counsel for the prisoner, Former
Congressman Joseph F. O'Connell OF
