Connie Mack Misses
His Old-Tnne TWirlers

Philadelphia, May 14.-With the Ath-
letics going badly at the present time
and the pitchers in anything but first
class form, it looks very much as though
Connie Mack could use the three fling
ers, Plank, Coombs and Bender, whom
he released unconditionally last winter.
Wildness has been the main fault
with Mack s twirlers this year. Her
bert Pennock, who has proven the win
ming twrler on the staff of the Athletes
has passed 81 batters in 35 innings.
Against this, Plank, Coombs and Bender
have walked only % in 70 2-3 rounds.
That s an average of more than five
per game for Pennock, while the vet
eran trio averages just about three.
Eddie Plank, the southpaw with
Fielder Jones Terriers, has made bet
ter record than any one of the trio cast
adrift by Mack. The left handler has
worked in % l-3 rounds, allowing six
runs and 2l hits. Control, though, has
been his long suit. Plank has dished
out only five bits of free transporta-
tion this year.
Jack Coombs, the right handler, who
was signed by the Brooklyn Nationals
aftes teing turned lose by Mack, has
provcn tine wild man of the trio. ir
T. 1.3 rounds he has passed y batters.
Only one run and nine blows have been
made off him, though.
From the records of this pair it seems
as if Mack could use them to good ad-
vantage at the present time. They
probably would have saved lot of
battles for the Athletics when the
young FINGERS faltered. Chief Bender,
the third member, has not been doing
so well with the Baltimore Feds, but he
has always been a slow starter of late
wears

E B1u1q Fo11h Fairy Tales From the Training Camps
TO-DAY IN PUGILISTIC ANNALS.

18S5-Harry Tenny, bantamweignt boxer, born in Canada. Tenny began his ring career in 1903 and ended it in 1906, when he was knocked out by Frankie Neil in the fourteenth round of a bout in San Francisco and died the following day. A little later in the same year another Canadian boxer died, Mike Ward, the light weight, was knocked out by Harry Lewis in Grand Rapids and died the next day of concussion of the brain The accidental death of the two Canadians led to the usual agita- tion for the suppression of boxing although it has been responsible for fewer fatalities than baseball, foot ball and many other manly sports. Tenny was one Of the best of the bantams of a decade ago and was very popular in California, where most of his battles were fought. He won most of his bouts by knockouts, but was twice defeated by Frankie Neil

Havana, March 25.-Warm weather gave Jack Johnson and Jess Willard the first opportunity in several days to work in the open air in training for their battl efor the worlds heavy weight championship on April 4, yes~ terday. Both pugilists drew crowds of people who were anxious to see them at work.
 Willard trained at Miramar in the presence of 500 spectators, third of whom were women. Many tourists were among those who watched the challenger do an hour and quarter s hard work at the pulleys, punching the dummy throwing the medicine ball. and boxing twelve rounds. He faced John Pentz for three rounds, Walter Monahan four, and Jim Saw age five, and later wrestled with Tex O'Rourke.

NAVY ROOFING" BARRED.
Unnecessary Talk in Middies' Base
 ball Games Prohibited.

Annapolis, Md, March 25.-The midshipment were mute yesterday af- ternoon during their game of baseball against the nine of West Virginia Wesleyan, as consequence of the or der of the superintendent of the acad- enly that neither in the field, on the side lines, nor on the bench were the navy lads to utter an unnecessary word For years the navy players have made use of a continuous and generally senseless chatter while in the field, the cir idea being that it infused life into tho playing. Thoroughly dis gusted with the practice, Supt. Full lam issued orders to suppress it, and about the only thing a 1midshipman said on the field was to call out who should take a fly. 7
 Apparently the change in the cus- tom did not detract from the mid shipments playing. for they won their opening game by B to 0.

DR. HILL DONATES
 BASKETBALL CUP
Baseball Schedule Arranged by Boys Church Athletic Association

Rev. pr. G. w. Hill has donated a cup to the Church Boys Athletic as sociation for the winner of the basket ball series. Three teams are tied for first place as a result of the action of the directors sustaining the protest of the St. Marks team against the victory won over them by the South church team.

PELKY KNOCKED OUT.

New York, March 25.-Al Reich, the big Brooklyn boxer who has been clamoring for a match with Jim Cof- fey, easily proved his right to a match with the Irishman when he knocked out Arthur Pelky in the third round of their bout at the Fair mont A. c. last night. Reich's showing surprised even his friends, and the fact that he put the big Canadian away in three rounds, while Coffey took four to do the same trick, indi- cates that he is entitled to a match with Coffey. The bout last night was a case. of age and experience against youth and ability, and youth tri- umphed.
