Kings College Unable to
Score Off Matty and
EmiIianO PalmerO.
jim THORPE MAKES
TWO CIRCUIT CLOUTS
Burns Plays First Game Since ne
Was Injured, but Shows a
Pronounced Limp.
By HAYWOOD BROUN.

Bristol. Tenn, April "a pitch-ou'
and a quick throw by Smith caught one
of the Kings College players mapping
of second base. Rebuked by his cap
tain. the erring player had ready ex-
ouse.
"How did I know he was going Ia
throw down ?" he exclaimed. He never
hollered to the second baseman." And
so another triumph was achieved for
inside baseball this afternoon, when
the Giants defeated Kings College by
score Of 90 to 0. .,
Not all the play Of the New York
team was of the inside sort. Jim
Thorpe showed that sheer force may
pay as well as strategy. Before the
coming Of the Giants nobody had ever
hatted a ball over the far distant left
field fence. Jim drove two across the
barrier, and his second home run did
rot stop travelling until the bal
clashed against the stoop of house
lust piece down the road.
Although the defeat Of Kings College
was undoubtedly decisive, the boys were
not cast down. The privilege OF bat
ting against MathewsOn was balm for
their beating as far as the crowd was
concerned. The score made no differ
ence. The small town folks were out
to see the famous Giants.
But though the rooters undoubtedly
regarded these men Of world wide fame
with a certain degree of reverence, this
did not in the least deter them from
bantering the visitors with easy famili-
arity. Thus, when Matty missed q
swing, one of the bleacherites called
out:
az saw once where you got a home
run in the moving pictures
81 reckon he thinks he's posing III
the pictures now" said another.
As a matter of fact, Matty's hitting
might we'll have stood the test of the
camera and the screen, since he smashed
out safe one every time he came "a

tied and Doyle led the batting with -four
hits.
The presence of both Thorpe and
Meyers in the game confused a good
many persons who simply knew that
the Giants had a redman as catcher

again said a fan, as Thorpe came
close upon the heels of Meyers. Then
realization smote the roOter. "Lawd
Almighty" he exclaimed, awefully,
"they got two Indians!"
George Burns played in his first
game since he was injured some
weeks ago. His limp is still pro-
nounced, and it may be regarded as
certain now that McGraw will have TO
start the season without him.
The manager was again forced TO
umpire, and his work was not up TO
the standard which he set in Knox
willie As soon as he perceived what

GILMORE BUOYANT
AS SEASON OPENS
Federal League Head Predicts
Prosperous Year for Clubs
Under His SWAY.

Chicago, April 9.-Predicting a pros
porous season, "the best so far" Presi-
dent James A. Gilmore of the Federal
League left here tonight for Kansas
City, where tomorrow he will watch
the opening game Of the campaign.
Reports received at the league head
quarters here to-day were that fair
weather and big crowds were expected
at the openings at Chicago, where st
Louis plays; at Kansas City, whose OPP
ponent will be Pittsburgh; at Belti-
more. where the team that won the
pennant for indianapolis Will repre-
sent Newark, and at Brooklyn, where
Buffalo will be met.
Most Of the Federal League teams
their managers maintain, have i'm
proved greatly over last year St
Louis, especially. President Gilmore
says, has increased in strength. Fielder
Jones, the manager, having gathered
8 squad of veterans, including Charley
Deal, who aided the Boston Braves 10
win the worlds championship. A
strong intield is the chief reliance OF
the Pittsburgh team, but reports from
Kansas City are not optimistic.
The Newark clubs loss of Benny
Kauf the leagues champion batter
was recorded at headquarters AS Brook
lyns gain, and the addition Of Jack
Dalton, one Of the strong hitters last
year. should help the offensive strength
Of Buffalo.
Joe Tinker insists he has strength
ened the Chicago Whales in all depart
ments. In Jimmie Smith he maintains
he has a shortstop whose excellence
may result in the managers adopting a
utility role.

quite an ovation from the fans. Jack
will play left field to-day. Hal Chase,
Ford, Schulz and Walter Blair, the
Yankee colony on the Buffalo club, also
had quite a time shaking hands with
former admirers here.
There was only one lame arm among
the Brookfeds, and that belonged 70
Mike Simon. the old Pirate catcher.
Cooper to Play First Base.
Magee settled two leading questions
last night, when he decided to play
Milton Reed, the former Philly,. at
short, and Claude Cooper, onetime
Giant outfelder, at first. Reed, who is
only a youngster, beat Gagnier and
Holt for the place, while Cooper earned
the call over Hap Myers, the human
flag pole.
The outlook is that Cooper will re-
main at first. as he has shown marked
ability to handle everything that comes
his way at the initial station.
Brooklyn and New York fans who
saw the Broodfeds in action yesterday
were interested in the stellar outfield
trio of the home team. in Bonnie Kauif,
George Anderson and Steve Evans
Magee avows he has the greatest out
field in the game. Certainly it pos
sesses fielding as well as batting
strength.
Dick Carroll, business manager of
the Brookfeds, completed arrangements
last night for an old-fsshioned opening.
The 14th Regiment Band will furnish
the music, and there will be the usual
parade around the field and a flsg-rais-
ing at 1880 o'clock.
Louis K Pounds, Borough President
of Brooklyn, a former player Of ability
will throw out the first ball promptly
at o'clock.
As an indication that there is no
hard feeling Robert B. Ward has re-
served a box for the officials Of the
Brooklyn National League Club, &c
whom he has sent invitations.

The Newark club holds much interest
for New York fans, not only because OF

Indianapolis, it won the pennant last
