FREDDIE WELSH MUST
 LAY UP FOR MONTH
Threw His Sh;uldGT Out ln Bout
 Win Rcd Watson.

New York, April 22.-Thc first bit of bad luck that has hoped aboard Champion Freddie Welsh hooked on at Hudson, Wis. Tuesday night. Welsh dislocatcd his left shoulder Tn his fight with Red Watson. Few Tn the audience knew that the the Eng lishman had thrown his arm out He got the decision over the plugging Californian at the end of ten rounds. As soon as the bout was over Welsh was rushed to doctor and he pulled the arm back into place. He advised Welsh to rest the injured members for at least q month. Harry Pollock his manager, immediately called off Welsh's bout with Johnny Harvey at Columbus, Ohio, which was to have been fought tomorrow night
 Pollock also wired Johnny McGrann of Boston that the bout with Gilbert Gallant was off. This bout had been set for next Tuesday night before Me Gann's cub.
 Welsh has fought with extraordin- ary luck since stripping Ritchie of his title. The Englishman has sailed along in a spanking breeze of pros perity. coining easy money at every turn. He can well afford a rest though the Hudson fight was the first of a series of busy fight weeks. An in jury to the shoulder is not a laughing matter.
 Those who remember Jack Moffdt. the Chicago middlewcight, look back with regret at his untimely ending as splendid fighter because of tho throwing out of a shoulder joint. Moi rat went to San Francisco and beat Al Neill, one of tho best middle weights of his time. It was an as- tonishing upset of popular idol. They fought again and Neil won when Motfats shoulder was thrown out in d clnch. After a two months rest Moi Tat was matched with Tommy Ryan. At ring time Tommy Ryan. for some unaccountable reason, flunked, and Neill. out of shape but anxious got another crack at the common enemy. As in their previous fight Moffat threw his shoulder out. Then and there Moffat's career ended. The shoulder never seemed to get well and

This bout was announced as for the light heavyweight championship of the world, and Was at catch weights MCCOY was fat and out of condition. and, although he showed flashes of ms old cleverness, he had to resort to all sorts of tricks to last the ton rounds. Root didn't long maintain his 'honors,' for a little later he was knocked out by George Gardner at Fcrt Erie. Later the Bohemian de- leated Jim Flynn at Pueblo and out pointed Gardner in return match and on the strength of these victories he claimed tho heavyweight cham- plonship of the world when Jim Jeff fries retired in 1905. He was knocked out by Marvin Hart In battle for the title at Reno, and soon afterward quit the ring. Mccoy became a book maker after his defeat by Root, but since then he has made many "comc- backs" and in the intervals betweeen his ring appearances has been engaged in practically every known business.

"W1LD BILL" DONOVAN HAS HAD
 MANY UPS AND DOWNS.
B1 "GRANf.

Well, here is William Donovan back Tn the American league again, b1ithe- ly and with broad smile attempting lhe feat in which Frank Chance, the famous Native Son, failed so miser- aoly. lt was just twelve years ago come tomorrow, on April 23, 1903. that Donovan, then known as Wild blll, made his American league de6ut. Bill was then by way of be- Ing a twirler, and he climbed aboard Ban Johnson's bandwagon in the uni- form of the Detroit Striped Cats. cele- orating the event by II to 1 victory over Cleveland.
 In his time the new pilot of the 1ankees has had more ups and downs than usually fall to the lot of a ball Fl"Ner. The nicknames of diamond S'rfs are often csoteric and their orlGln invisible to the nude inuuIring eye but it was not so in Wild BilI's" case. Bill was called Wild" because ne was wild. Oh, very, very wild simple. was it not?
 Donovan was born in Lawrence. Mass, and will begin his fortieth year next october. He spent his hapny childhood in the City of Brothcrly Love, his father keeping a tobacco shop in the Pennsylvania metropolis. When in his late teens he began to pitch for semi-pro clubs in P.iIadeI- phia and for couple of seasons was with Sudbury, Pa. He had a wide variety of pretty curves. and speed to burn. but he was lacking in the It, tie item of control. In 1897 he went up notch by signing with Pawtucket. K. l., which club didn't take kindly to his wild ways, and turned him over t0 Waterbury.
 In those days Bill was a handsome, quiet-mannered chap, and his wild ress was strictly confined to business hours. And that's true today of his manner and habits. while his profess sional wildness has long since been only memory. Donovan had his first chance in fast company with Wash ington. but the Senators soon sent him back to the New England league Tn 1900 Ned Hanlon gave Donovan a chance in Brooklyn, but soon turned

POOL OF .$S,OOO TO

Organized Ball Said 10 Be Ready
 to Come to ReSGuo.

Springfield, April 22.--F'rom Bos- ton comes word that organized ball intends to financially back the Eastern association in its present sad pred cl- ment. It is stated that a pool of $S000 is being made mp to help tho league and that President J. J. Lanin of the Boston Americans has been asked to chip in. The whole business sounds fishy but there are some who think that there is n great deal Of truth in it. No one is saying what thp $S,000 is for The league is surely in bad way, bu there arc other things its needs besides dollars. Tho remedy is not in financial help. as has been stated before. tf the league was broke there is reason to suppose Morton r. Plant. millionaire owner of the New London club. would throw m $S,000 worth Of dimes and so keep
 Inc league from begging #
 As far as known, Jim O'Rourke, president of the Eastern association, has moi started to pass the hat Hc is looking for people to take fran.r chises so as to complete a siN-club or an ciEht-club circuit.

Philadelphia, April 22.--The Yan- kees, who are cutting up capers like champions these days, piled up more trouble on Connie Mack's shoulders yesterday afternoon when they cap tured the final game of the series.

New York. April 22.-Thc Phillies beat the Giants, to 1, yesterday and weren't as boistcrous and merry as in the other games. Maybe they are saving their energy in those lines for big league teams. They won the fourth straight from our backsliding boys with absurd ease. They played as if the game was foregone cinch and as if they felt rather sorry at finding the Giants so docile. Baum gartner the prince of vocal pests, was squatted out there agan shouting his drool to his teamates, with no re- straint put on his banal babble; but then that sort of thing doesn't liven up Q game any more than would the beating of tin pans. Still, player wouldn't be allowed to beat a tin pan.
 The Phillies made four runs from one hit in the third inning and two runs from no hits in the ninth. On the strength of the two in the ninth they could have won with q no hit game. the Giants hitting was that himsy. The Phillies made only five hits and only one of those counted for anything. None of the New York pltcnerS was mt to amount to any thing. but the wildness of Perrit. one deadly thump by Cravath veitable bogie man for the Giants. and the all around decadence of Frommes work in the ninth made run getting
