 TRAINED ON
 PIE AND CAKE

New York, Feb. 20-The question whether Jack Johnson will win hiI fight with Willard at Juarez on March is still very debatabIe one on the British steamer Highland Harris, the vessel which took the negro and his party from Montevidfo to Barbados The Highland Harris has arrived here and those on board are divided into, two camps, one sure the negro fighter will win and the other just as sure he will be defeated.
 No training was done on the High land Harris. Johnson said when he sailed that he did not intend to train on the voyage. He had hurt his arnns the captain said, on the journey from Southampton to South America and for that reason he wanted to take cit light" His work in South America was confined to several boxing exhibi- ttons with Frank Hagney, his sparring partner.

GERMANY SCHAEFER
 MAY COACH TANKS


 New York, Feb. Follow would old e.ho1manys Schaefer look out there on fT,a coaching lines for the Yankees! ' Not so bad, heyI There has been a. Iof of complaint in recent years over the inability of the Tanks to put any life into their ball team Under Chase. woIyerton and Chance, they haId. no life, vim or color. Nothing ever happened except for them to win or lose ball games; mostly lose them.
 Schaefer tries to be funny, but she really is funny without trying very hard, and he would do more than his share to coax the little iron men into the box office window, should he be added to the Yank roster.
 During a flaming bee Secretary Sparrow's office yesterday Sparrow took very kindly to the suggestion of the club going after schaefer, and said Count on my vote for Dutch . However, Schaefer's old Tiger team mate, Bill Donovan, must decide whether Dutch is wanted for the Tanks

sHUGRUE WANTS
 TO BECOME LAWYER

New York, Feb. 20-Professiona1 boxers as rule have one< ambition in life, and that is to become cham pions of their respective class. That is the one thought they have in mind from the time they don the first pair of boxing gloves, but such is not the case with Joe Shugrue, New Jerseys sensational lightweight
 Unlike other stars of the roped arena who have accumulated fortunes in the ring, Shugrue's aim in life is to become a successful member of the bar after he retires from the boxing game. It is the intention of Freddie Welsh, on the other hand, to become a noted physical culture expert, such as William Muldoon or Bill Brown.
 Other noted boxers have been suc- cessfuI in other branches of business. Pacley Mcfarland has proved his ability to make 8 name for himself in the business world already, being a bank director, with large interests in several big enterprises; Battling Nel- son is real estate operator; Jack Monroe mine owner; Jim Corbett and Jimmy Britt stars of the foot lights; Tom Sharkey an owner of thoroughbreds, and son on, but with Shugrue the legal profession appeals endeavor.
 Shugrue, on the advice of one of his admirers, 8 prominent New Jersey lawyer, has decided to adopt the prac- tice of law as his professio natter he retires from the ring. Shugrue is a brainy lad, persever1ng and courage ous, qualifications absolutely essential for man to become one of the most successful boxers in the world, and it is the opinion of his legal friend that a fellow like Shugrue also would make 8 good lawyer.

BALDWIN INJURIES RIB IN BOUT WITH
 HARVEY IN ELM CITY

New York, Feb. 2O-Matty Bald win of Boston sustained a fractured rib in his bout with Johnny Harvey, of New York, at the Casino last night and the injury necessitated the call ing off of hosti1ities in the third round After the boxers had endured two rounds of earnest work, with honors about even, the third round opened with Harvey chasing Baldwin around the ring and landing on the face and body with apparent ease.
 It was evident that the Bay Slater was in distress, and not until one of Baldwin's seconds had climbed over the ropes and demanded that the mill be stopped. did rfngsiders realize that there was something radically wrong, Cries of 'sframe-up" rang through the hall and for a time g. riot seemed inevitable. Police Sergeon Seymour L. Spier rushed into the ring and immediately examined Baldwin and diagnosed the injury as 9. frac- ture of the eighth left rib.
 The sudden termination of the Baldwin-Harvey bout proved big disappointment to the fans follow ing the abbreviated go between Bun nv Ford of this city and Young Bosse of Bridgeport. Ford appeared to be holding his own with Bosse when Ira Holly, manager of the former. tossed a towel into the ring in the fifth round as a token of defeat.
 Ford, it was later learned, was in no shane to, continue and Holly, to prevent possible knockout, took the initiative.
 Ford submitted to several solid punches although he gave more than he received when Bosse saw fit to swap punches. {tI went to the we'll once too often," said Bunny in his
 dressing room after the bout. Holly used good judgment in having it stopped and I'm now convinced that I'm through for all time" Bunny defeat marks the passing of one of l the gamest and most popular scrap pers that ever climbed into the ring.
 The bout was slated to go ten rounds.

WANT WARDS TO GET CLUB
 IN NATIONAL

New York, Feb. 2O.-The Federal Leagues threatened invasion of the Bronx or Newark is commanding
 much attention from the officials of the National League, and it was stat
 ed yesterday on good authority that
 there is plan on foot which may re- suit in some sort of a. compromise be- fore the baseball season opens.
 It is stated that the delay of Judge Landis' decision in the Federal League suit is not relished by organized base ball officials, who see in the courts 1 long wait a possibility that the de- cision may perhaps score major league methods. There is a certain element
 in the National League which would
 welcome a compromise and would all 1 so welcome the advent of the Wards
 of Brooklyn into the National League. Robert B. Ward, vice president of l the Federal League, has been in Pine
 hurst,s N. C.. for the last two weeks lworking on the seasons schedule.
 The recent visit of President Gilmore to Pinehurst was to consult with MT. | Ward, it. is stated. on the probability of new peace negotiations. Much | credence is given to the story becauea it is stated that an ernissary of the National League had a conference 1 with President Gilmore and MT. Ward at Pinehurst this week. There | is an air of mystery surrounding the Iconference and the officials who know about the meeting refuse to admit it 1 or even discuss the matter.
 1 Some of the National League off cia1s would like to see the Wards get i possession of one of their clubs, and the possibilities of 8 transfer of this
 kind is now being considered. During the past few days, also, there has been 1 8 change in the attitude of the Ma
 tional League toward the Internation- al League in its present trouble.
 l While the National League at its meeting here a short time ago took nc action toward lending the Interna- tiona1 League any assistance, it is said that 1t now views the situation in g different light, and within a short time 1t may be expected that the Nationai League will give permission for the
 transfer of the Jersey City, club to the
 Bronx, where a numbers of promot
 CTS stand ready to build new parE and finance the project.

Bobby Stow the crack shortstop of the Bridgeport club, has been sold to Fort Worth of the Texas league. Secretary Reddy said this morning that the deal had not been closed but would be in a few days. Stow does not relish the idea of going so far away. He expressed .dtsappo1nt- rnent when informed of his sale but did not say he would refuse to re- port

His sale confirms the statement that Owner Freeman has deci= ed to quit let Stow. get away unless he was sure of selling the franchise.
 It is reported on good authority that there is a movement to have Tommy Downey and Danny Hoffman buy the Bridgeport franchise. Dow ney played with the Buffalo Federals lust season. He is popular here and as the club can be bought at reasonable terms there is 8 possibiI- ity that the deal will go through. Hoffman was with Wilkes-Barre in the New York State league last sea- son.

ANNIVERSARIES
 OF RING BATTLES

1s21-Tom Spring defeated Tom Oliver in 52 minutes at Hayes, Eng. It was a terrible, brutal contest such as would disgust and sicken the mod ern fight fan, but at that period a battle without plenty of blood and gore was considered tame and unin- teresting. From a contemporary de- scriptton of the fight the following sentences will suffice: Spring got Oliver's head in chancery and puIn- rneIIed his ready bruised face until it was a mass of bloody jelly. Having punished Oliver until he had to scream with pain. Spring threw him cross buttock, which seemed to disIocate his neck.' Even then Oliver refused to quit, and, although unable to stand i; he insisted that his seconds lead him to the center of the ring. When their support was withdrawn Oliver fell down in a, fanting fit, and Spring was awarded the victory.

Sacred Heart Vs. St. Charles.
 Caesar certainly got an awful beat ing from iBrutus and his pals; Lord Cornwallis- also got a good trimming at Y orktown but neither of these trim mfngs could hardly compare with the 1acing the Hearts handed the St. Charles last night. It was the 1arg- est score piled up against the Braves since the season started. It was even money at the start of the game and lin some quarters odds were placed on the Saints. Lannon, Russell, Cart land and Lucey were the shining lights on the South End five while Hork- heimer and Christy,. as usual, shone for the Saints. The game was one of the cleanest games played as the num- Der of fouls registered will indicate. Referee Waters was in good trim and was several times applauded by the fans. The Hearts landed the first bomb in the enemies camp and fol- lowed this up by caging one point, on a foul called on Christy. HoFkhe1mer then waded through the entire Heart team and caged the first basket for the Saints. The Hearts again charged on Fort Charles and their onslaught was stopped at the point of bayonets in the, hands of the defenders. By this time Lannon was getting in his deadly work and after a few minutes of exciting playing he caged a beauti- full backhanded basket for his team. Morrissey then came back with two for the Saints.
 By this time the crowd was in 8 high state of excitement when four players, two of each team, accidentally got their legs twisted and were bowled all over the floor. The referee then had to pry their legs apart The first half wound up with the score at IS to 10 in favor of the Hearts.
 The second half had not been go- | ing ten minutes when 1t was plain to be seen that the visitors would cop the honors. It was surprising to note the change in the Saints. Horky. however, finished strongly. Martin re- placed Gartland for the Hearts. To make a long story short the Hearts certainly deserved to win after their brilliant display of speed and team work They outplayed the Saints, not from start to finish, but all through the second half. They now have 3
 two game lead on both the Charles and St Mary's and the fact that the
 double alliance has ordered but one game a week played, it increases theii
 grip on the much coveted honor.
 On Monday night in St. Charles hal the St Johns five will meet the
