TESREAU AND SCHAUER HURL
 IN GOOD FORM

Houston, Texas, April 3.-shred- ding the deliveries of Texas League pitchers has become a habit with the Giants, and they have been stealing base hits all over Lone Star parks for the last two weeks. Against San An tonic, Dallas and Houston they have done some prodigious hitting. They ar rived here yesterday morning from Marlin and conquered Houston, 15 to |. They beat Houston g to 2 last Monday, making 24 runs to the reck- oning between the two teams this Spring.
 Now, following the trouble between -McGraw and Manager Newman here a year ago, there has not been the slightest evidence of i11-feeling be- tween the two clubs this year, and there was none yesterday on the part of the local fans, but just the same ptlfng up 24 runs against Newnam's s team has stricken the Giants with re- morse.
 Tesreau and Schauer did the pitch ing, and, though Tesreau was wild at the outset, he soon settled down. He had a deal of stuff on the ball, and both he and Schauer held the Bluffs in the hollow of their hands. Smith showed a decided improvement in his backstop work and handled the pitching in tiptop fashion. He also biffed the ball for two singles and a home run. Other home runs were made by. Doyle and Merk1e.

SAM ROBIDEAU, LIGHT WEIGHT,
 g SUNDAY

Sam Robideau, the popular Ptf1a- delphia lightweight, will pass his twenty-tkird milestone tomorrow, hay ing been born in Minneapolis April 4, 1S92. Sammy left the Minnesota metropolis to become a tar in the ser vice of Uncle Sam, and it was while he was in the navy that he developed his pugi1istic ability. The little Frenchrnan had many a hard tuss1e on board the Sbattleships and in foreign ports, and was never defeated At Cherbourg, France, early in 1911, he defeated Fred Desmond, a promising young boxer of the fleet, and when his ship returned to Cuban waters he fought and won half dozen bouts with the best boys of his weight in Ralph Tickle, Johnny Gallant, Lew Shepard, Fred Desmond and Kid Lam bert.
 At that time the lightweight honors of the navy were in dispute, with Robldeau and Billy Shevlin the prin- became the recognized lightweight champion of Uncle Sans sea fighters.
 When his contract with the navy ex- pired about three years ago Robideau decided to abandon his ambition to become an admiral and took up his residence in Philadelphia, from which city he issued challenges to fight any man of his weight. In October, 1912, he fought Gilbert Gallant in Fall Riv- CT, and held the French-Canadian to a draw in Q, dozen rounds. He then fought Willie Houck in the Quaker City, and a little later knocked out the veteran Grover Hayes in the third round. In 1918 Robideau fought Young Shugrue, Johnny Lore, and other good boys, and. knocked out Jack Read, the Australian lightweight.
 Early last year the sailor was out pointed in 8 six-round battle with Freddie Welsh in Philadelphia. Since then RobideAu has fought a number of good boys, and has made a very promising record. Last January he knocked out Gilbert Gallant, who had twice defeated Leach Cross, in the fourth round of a bout in Bridgeport. Willie Beecher also found the ex-tar more than he could handle, and Sam also defeated Jimmy Duffy, the Lock- port wonder, at Providence. and got a draw with him at Buffalo.

The decision of the National board, which sustains every action of the Eastern association in declaring for feited the Springfield, New Haven and Hartford franchises, was very pleas ing to President ORourke. T never expected anything e1se,,' he said to- day There couldn't be any other de- cision in view of the evidence We gave those men every chance to stay in the league and keep their franchises but they wouldn't listen.
 The recommendation of the National board that the three busted owners be given i've days to redeem their fran chises will probably be coldly received by the Eastern directors. President O'Rourlze said he personally would have nothing to say in the matter. It is understood, however, that Directors McCann, Teller and Reddy have de- yclared they want nothing more to do with the three outlaws. They claim C1arkin, Carey and Cameron deserve no consideration because by their hold up tactics they deliberately tried to wreck the league.
 A meeting of the league will be called in New Haven next week, prob ably on Thursday, at which time the directors will receive applications and decide whether they will give the eJected owners another chance. The decision of the National board will give the league a big boom and prom inent sportsrnen will undoubtedly ap- ply for the valuable franchises.

DANAHER CLAIMS
 3 0USTED OWNERS
 TO DISSOLVE CLUBS

Meriden, April s-Cornelius J. Danaher, counsel for Messrs. Carey, Clarkin and Cameron, owners of the Springfield, Hartford and New FIa- ven Baseball teams, today said that in his opinion Secretary John F. Far rell, of the National Board. should have given his opinion on the protest forwarded to him in behalf of those owners, on April and not April 2. MT. Farrell holds that the three own CTS by their refusal to comply with the rules and regulations of the con- stitutfon of the Eastern Association, automatically forfeited their fran chise.
 MT Danaher, stated that the deci- sion will not alter the determination of the owners to dissolve their teams and not take part in this seasons game. MT. Danhher said he still was of the opinion that there would be no Eastern association this sea- son.

No provisions, ac- cording to Farrell, were made for the three allies being exempt. Continuing, Farrell rec0mmends that Carey, Clerkin and Cameron be given five days in which to recon slider their action. Should the Eas- tern directorate see fit to disallow any such move, the New Haven, Hart ford and Springfield franchises will immediately be give over 70 such men as the Eastern association may SC desire.

The sporting pages of the newspszA pers are reporting that ac~number OE the minor baseball leagues are hay ing financial difficulties. which may be due to local trade conditions, or to over extension of the baseball bust ness.
 Hundreds of minor and so-called tfbush leagues. are now running The town that 10 years ago was content with a semi professional team play ing independent games on Saturday afternoons, now wants regular team playing 10 or 15 or more weeks. The appetite for baseball grows as it is fed, but it has gone so far as to be easily overdone,
 The problem of supporting league team in a moderate sized city means a lot of work for somebody. Membership in a league is desirable. if town has got to the point where it demands and will support salaried players. The fans become inter ested in the personality of the vis5-= tors from the other teams of a league where they would care nothing for the nomads of independent teams, A- pennant may be only colored rag But the rivalry for this flimsy tex tile fabric stirs the competitive spirit in the bIeachers. and means many dollars to the management.
 The great trouble in running league ball team in a moderate sized town, is the difficulty of reaching any agreement to hiring of players A salary limit may be lived up to, as far as the books of the team may show. But wealthy fans who desire a fast player can easily happen around to his lodging Saturday night, and tip him off with an extra tetnner or two. The temptation, becomes ir-- resistible to hire some star pitcher from a bigger league to capture criti- cal eraTaeS d. So the race heeDrnas al auction, in which the town that puts up the most money carries off the trophy
 Good sportsmanship pays in these matters. Baseball managers that liva ways capture pennants But in ths long run they gain the confidence oE players and public and are more apt to fintsh the season with a troasuE1t balance

 The decision of the.

Wilding and the Australian, Norman Brookes.
