Al REICH AND COFFEY READY
 FOR BIG BOUT.

New York, May 3.-Interest of box ing enthusiasts centres this week on the long awaited bout between Jim Coffey, the Dublin Giant, and Al Reich,s the local heavyweight, which takes place Wednesday night in NGadi- son Square Garden, and will be the last boxing exhibition staged in this arena until next, fall. No limited round bout of recent years has been looked forward to with more interest than that between Cofey and. Reich and the fact that the winner will prove himself the most likely Candf- date for a match with Champion Jess Willard lends further zest to the com ing contest.
 Coffey is bigger and stronger than at any time in his ring career, and his improvement in the past year has made him the best drawing card in New York Many experts pick him as the only logical choice for a champion ship bout with Willard The match will be the last step Cofey will make before Manager EGibson VIII seek a. bout with Willard for his man
 St. Nicholas rink vii take the place of the Garden as the scene of the lead ing bouts during the summer months Already two big bouts have been ar lsranged by Manager Jimmy Johnston. On May 12 George Chip, the New Gas

 oppose Leach Cross. Both Of these ex-
 hfbitions give promise of developing considerable excitement.

GAMES CAN'T BE
 CAlIED EARLY TO :
 HELP GET TRAINS

New York, May s.-Hereafter no club in the National League will be permitted to begin 9 championship game prior to the usual. star rtIng hour, or to discontinue play before game is finished in order that participating clubs may catch early trains, accord ing to a statement issued by John Heydler last night. The last train z as stated in the leagues laws, will be construed to mean the last train scheduled to reach the next city at least an hour prior to the custpmary time of starting games.
 The ruling was made yesterday by President Tener. The case upon which the ruling was based occurred in Pittsburgh recently when the game was called at 5 o'clock. before its completion. and with the score a tie. Pittsburgh being scheduled to play in St. Louis the next day, an agreement was entered into before the game that the teams should stop play one hour prior to the departure of the o'clock train for St. Louis. The ruling also came because the Giants last week started game five minutes ahead of scheduled time.

.YALE'S FOOTBALL {. ATTACK WILL BE
 VARIED NEXT YEAR

New Haven, May S-The most e1a'b- crate spring football training practice ever ordered at Yale ended Saturday and an exhibition of bunting, drop kicking and passing, for both accur- acy and distance. will testify to the thoroughness-s of the work. This branch of the practice has been large 1y along old-fashioned lines and has aimed at perfection of detail.
 Head Coach Frank H1nkey last year put on the grtdtron a, Yale eleven which exce1Ied all it's predecessors in ability to pass and punt accurately, and his demonstration of the lateral pass was the most unique addition to football made in years. Hinkey's s record of defeating such strong e1ev- ems as Princeton. Lafayette, Virginia, Lehigh and Notre Dame has been almost lost sight of in view of the de- feats by efferson and Harvard.
 That Hinkey will base his next fall campaign upon perfection of details in the use of the forward and lateral pass and in clever distance bunting and drop kicking is apparent from the three weeks spring practice which closed today.

INDIAN PITCHER
 OF BROOK YN FEDS STRANGELY MISSING

New York. May ,s-4Jina Blue Jack ct, the Indian twir1er Of the Brook feds. has vanished without leaving word as to his destination. The last seen of Blue Jacket was a week ago last Saturday. He was suffering from a pulled Hgament in the left leg, sus- tained in a. game at Buffalo about a fortnight ago. When the Broolkfeds arrived home he was allowed to rest until recovery. He was then able to hop about and had been stopping at the Hotel St. George, but since April 26 his room has not been occupied.
 Recently Manager Magee became alarmed by the absence of the Indian, and unless the missing one lets his whereabouts known soon he will find himself in hot water with his club and the Federal league.

HURLEY
 FOR HOME RUN
 AGAINST TYLER
(By Wagner.)

Even if he strikes out for the rest of his days, Pat Hurley. has something to ;brag about. He made a home run off Lefty Tyler of the Boston worlds champions. The pride of the Industrial league just naturally lean ed against one of Tyler's slants in the second and sent it whfstling on a line over second. The ball whizzed right out to the fence and Hurley just slid into the plate ahead of the throw, scoring Jack Egan ahead of him. As he stood up there, Brushed the dust off his pants and listened to the cheers of the popuIace he wouldn't have changed places ! with the King of England.
 ! The Bridgeport boys gave the worlds champions quite a tuss1e and it wasn't until the ninth that the Braves put over two runs and won the pastine by 4 to 3. The visitors had their regular lineup in the field. Sherwood Magee, who was in center. got only one hit but Joe Connolleys in left connected for a triple and two doubles. Dick Egan,e recently bought from Brooklyn. didn't gather any thing but a sacrifice.
 Butch Schmidt, formerly of Holy oke, played first for seven 'innings and then Pitcher Otto Hess, went to the bag. Rabbit Maranville and Red Smith displayed plenty of vim. Mar anvil1e gave an limitation of a monkey and Smith threatened to bust a fan who was yelling witticisns from the third base fb1eachers
 Lefty Tyler went through the whole game. He hasn't been doing much work this year and figured he needed the practice. In the early innings, Tyler took things easy. But when he found the Bridgeport boys had col lected three runs the@ southpaw brought out his high priced stuff and the locals were unable to score after the fourth
 Martin, Tuckey and McCabe divided the twirlingZ for Bridgeport. The best showing was made by Martin He worked the first four rounds and the 1 Braves were unable to get run. He gave them two hits and two passes. 1 Tuckey and McCajbe did not do go well as Martin
 Prysock, last year with Pfttsne1d, played shortstop for Bridgeport and 1 did we'll. He touched Tyler for a l triple. Hurley and Egan led at bat each connectfng for two safeties. The l fielding masterpiec was a running catch by George Moshier, who ran back to the fence land pulled down swh alng's fly in the eighth. cuttine
 off Boston run.
 On account of the cloudy weather l just before the game started the at | tendance was held down to about 2,. l 900. The score:

BASEBALL GOSSIP.


 Every time Home Rum Baker reads 8 paper he must get a good laugh One day he is reported to have signed with some bush league team the next day to have returned to the Athletics and the following day to have quit baseball. His life is cor tain1y a busy one.
 Tommy Long, the Cardinal centre fielder, is getting lots of space in St Louis these days for his clouting. His hitting won game for the Pirates re- gently.
 Rochester should finish high in the Information league race this season. They have a well balanced hitting and fielding team and are especially strong in the 5twirling department Among the pitchers are three who trained with the Giants at Marlin Springs.
 Ban Johnson's warning to Managers Mack, Birmingham. Riclzev, and Grlf- fifth to stop their players stalling is much appreciated by the fans, as the American league games have been aI- most as slow as those played in the Federal league this year.
 Eddie Planl's first game would indi- cate that the erstwhile Athletic star was still there with the puzzling cross fire. Many good games are left in the veteran southpaw's venerable wing.
 Ten runs in one inning by the Tigers against St. Louis is the record for tn5s season. Nine hits. including two triples. tRo doubles and dVo GlnFleg were made in this eeaa49e1a.

ed to show the snap and ginger that
marked the Eveleth-Virginia strug-
gle.
"Eveleth started off the first
quarter by registering touchdown
and appearances were in favor of a
sided game. Greco was sent
over the line for a goal, and DAM
berg booted the oval squarely be-
tween the posts. Thereafter the
visitors took a brace, and although
deplorably weak on offense, COM
mitting many fumbles, they held
the locals when on the defensive.
The Eveleth line showed to poor
advantage, the visiting linesmen
tearing through and pulling down
the Eveleth backfeld men before
they had a chance to get off their
plays.
For the locals Kiley and Greco
showed to good advantage. Kiley
played his usual strong game both
Extensively and defensively, while
Greco made several nice gains for
the team.

The Ely High School team went
down to defeat at Eveleth Satur-

contest appeared in the Eveleth
news in the Virginia Daily Enter

In a ragged game of football
played on the local gridiron, the
Eveleth high school team won from
the Ely eleven by the score of 7 to
0 last Saturday.
"Overconfidence and lack oi
form displayed in the Virginia
game of a week ago, is ascribed as
the reason for not running up q
larger score against the visitors
who played scrappy game despite
many grievous errors. Fumbline
was one of the faults of the players
on both teams, but both teams fail.
