The Regulars won by score of to in full nine inning contest Their runs were made in the first three innings, off the pitching O. Charley Press, Palermo and Huencke held them to one hit in the last six rounds.
 The pitching of Palermo and Hueneke was no better than that of WI illiap9ss who opened up for the Reg su1ars. The Fordham giant did not ai- low a hit or run in three innings though he walked a man. Palermo in the next three innings, working against Rube Schauer. permitted no one to reach first base
 Only nine batters faced him. Only one of the veterans hit safe on Huencke.

CONNIE MACK HAS LOST FAMOUS PAIR
 OF RESCUE BoXIEzlT

For two years Connie Mack has kept the Athletics in front by fiavinr Lender and Plank ready to go to tne rescue of the young hur1Srs when the latter began to wayer in the box. comics regular system was to have either Plank or Bender, or both. so to the warning-up paddock about the seventh inning, no matter which team was ahead. Each had to finish eEosss to score of games for their yoUnesar teammates, and now that both have gone to the FederaIs the basehar public is wondering what Connie VIII do to replace them in the rescue pen.
 Bush, Pennock. Shawlxey RrassIer and Wyclon will be 1faclS's pstchfn~ mainstays- Each of the five IS d sssr youngsters but outside Of ShaWkey not one has shown any great rehef ability. Perhaps Connie fi9ures tlst each will go through so well he v5iiI not need a Bender or a Plank fII tbe bullpen, but let one or more Of che i've sustain accidents and the long and lean leader will find himself fl the same position as oe BiF-1niuzhara trying to hold a first division berth without corps of hurFers that in cludes one or two veteran stars. But we will let Connie do the woEryanl. He knew what the result would be when he let Bender and Plank 70.
 Washington fans are happy now that Joe Boehitng, the clubs principal southpaw, has signed his National contract. Boehhng was Of Iftt1a use to Washington last year because he injured one of his knees early tn. the season and was forced to adoFIa t1ae bench the rest of the campaasn. T354f there is every reason to expect that he will be as good this year as he was in 1913, when he was one Of the seasons phenoms-
 It was against Cleveland that Bosh- ling made his start. GF1hf6h had tried him out a few times with indifferent success and was about to send him to the minors when he found IlinaesIF without a first string pitcher to work in a Sunday game in CIeveland, to play which game the Washington and Cleveland clubs jumped to the sixth city from Washington. So GE7nith de- cided to give his southpaw a final chance. BoehIng won He did not show anything wonderful in the way l Of hurloIogy but he won, which V7as gave him confidence and he started out to triumph in his next ten con l tests.

With the arrival of Walter Mohr on the scene the enthusiasts have begun to take a. lively interest in the boxing show to be held at the Casino March 25. Mehr, who is to tackle Gilbert Gall 1ant of Boston in the star bout of IS rounds, dropped into town yesterday afternoon After calling upon local friends he went to Capt. Bonds place in Stratford where he will train Bat ting Levinsky, who is also at the Stratford resort, will help Mohr in his training work.
 Young NcAuIiffe and Teddy Hubbs who will meet in the semi-dnal, are also doing preliminary stunts that will bring them into tiptop condition for the ten round affair they are to stage. AHcAulfffe was disappointed because he did not put Hubbs away in their last meeting and claims he will pro- duce the slumber punch this time.

RAY HEATING SUFFERS FROM
 RINK IN BACK

Savannah, Ga, March 19-Bnl Donovan's squad encountered some ideal training weather yesterday, af- ter being held under wraps since Monday.
 Ray Caldwell cut loose with more abandon than in any of the previous workouts and showed the hftters more speed and curves than they had previously seen here. There was not much rea4 hitting while the Yam kees' star boxman occupied the mound.
 Ray Heating is the only veteran who is complaining of soreness but he Is rapidly rounding to form under the steady treatment of local osteo- path. Keating's trouble is soreness in the muscles of his back, this being the same ai1nnent which kept him on the bench for so long a period last season.
 Manager Donovan yesterday made the first official announcement that gives a line on the probable makeup 5 of his regular team. He announced his lineup and batting order for the second team, thereby showing what players will not be taken to Daytona next week for the series with the Brooklyn Nationals. While the reg ulars are on this trip the team which Donovan announced yesterday will elay 2 at Charleston and Columbia. s
 The players who will go to Daytona are: Pitchers, Fisher, Caldwell, Keating, Cole. Brown and PieIh; catch ers Sweeney. and Nunanaker; i'm flelders, Mullen, Pipp. Boone, Peckin- paugh and Maisel; o1thelders. High, Cree and Cook.

 The general opinion is that the American league Is faster than the National league, but Sa1lee offers the opinion that it is easier to pitch against American league swatters than the ones he has been facing in his big league career Sal offers this:

sTRoN MANI MGINTY. 42 ToDAY, HAS WORN
 OUT HIS WING AT LAST

Even an Iron Man can't last for ever. The truth of this statement has been demonstrated by such ring gladiators as Joe Grim and sGeorge Siddens, and by such baseball tyVirl- CTS as Radbourne of the old 9Frovi-. sdenee Nationals and Joseph J. Me Ginnfty. Joe the most se1eBFafed. s'Iron AIant of diamond history, VIII celebrate his forty-second birthday today, and he has at last admitted that he has shot his bolt. Early this year McGinnity sold out his interest in the Tacoma club of the Northwest ern League and announced his re- urement from the great game
 Joe was born March 19. 1878, in Illinois, and was coal miner before he took to playing ball for a. living His. league career extended through twenty seasons, with eleven years in the big show He has 415 victories to his creoit-nnore than any other twirler the game has ever had with the sole exception of Old Cy Young. Last year he pitched in forty-six con- tests for Tacoma, finished sforty-one and won twenty.
 McGinnity's big league career com menced in 1899, with the Baltimore Orioles He was then twenty-six. and his minor league experience had not been very promising. He had been dropped by the Kansas City club in 1894, and for four years thereafter he was out of the game and ran a saloon. Under the careful schooIing of Ned HanIon Joe was deve1oped into one of the greatest pitchers the game has ever had. Tn 1900 he went to Brooklyn and led the pitchers of the National League After helping the DCtIgers to win pennant, he joined the Giants in 1902. Joe won his metallic sobriquet of the Iron Man in 1904, when he pitched forty three games and won thirty-ftve tf them for the Giants. The previoos year he had twirled fifty contests.
 Joe could work in a double bill one day and go in again on the next and he often did. The metallic wing began to wear out in 1909, and Joe obtained his release from McGraw and got a job as manager of the New ark club in the International League. A couple of years ago he transferred his managerial activities to he4Taco-
