 IN LAST BATTLE

Along about 9:1O when the Nationals were ab- sorbing a large beating some joker shouted, What's the matter, boys, got a blowout ?''. The Nationals must have thought they were in train wreck after they saw the score of 5s to 27 the Ribbons rolled up on thenas
 The New Workers have boasted abowt their trips to the Pacific Coast so, once, when Swenson made a bril- liant goal a. bIeacherite yelled. Hey, Walter, you ever besn to the coast ?''

BRAVES HAMMER GIANT PITCHERS
 AND- WIN EASILY

New York, April 2s.-A number of of people in this town never could quite understand how the Boston Braves won the worlds series last Fall The Braves came to the Polo Grounds yesterday and showed just how they did it. Home runs, two baggers, singles, and nimble fielding seemed to be some of the means re- sorted to by the Braves The Boston bats waved hilariously at the Giant pitchers and the Braves won 1 2 to 5. The Braves peppered .sPoF' Perridt and Bill Ritter until they were tired of rl1nnins~ around the bases. What they did to these pitchers is heart breaking to relate. so just imagine it. stButch'' Schmidt, the big first base man, got a home run. a double and Q single, and Red Smith, who broke leg last fall, got home run, a double and single Sherwood Not tinghom Magee entertained with Q rousing double and a single. Several others iof the Braves also hit the ball. Before the game was over the fans started, to roar like a. mass meeting in Union Square The roar, however, was mot for the Giants, but against them.

|HARVARD BASEBALL
 CAPTAIN UNABLE TO PLAY THIS YEAR

Boston. April 2s-It has been an nounced that Russell Ayres, captain of the Harvard nine, who has been i'll at his home almost since the be- ginning of the year, has given up any hope of being able to play baseball this season, and may not even return to college. It will be necessary to elect another captain at once, and a choice will probably be made this week: Frye has been actiong cap tain.
 The year has been a hard one on Harvard sport leaders. for Brfck1ey had appendicitis early in the football season and wasaout of it from then on, all but a few minutes in the final game, and Capt Claflin, of the hockey team. was hurt at the close of the sea son and was unable to play in the final game.

 T have enough of stars on my team right now added President LAnnan. T wish to say right here that I am delighted to pay Speaker his salary, for he earns his money and he is giv- ing the club his very best all the time. He is in there working every day. <
 T want no more stars of the Baker or any other type. If I need new ambitious players who will be work ing for the club all the time-men who have not made their regulations with other teams, but young players who will get the chance to become real stars under the co1ors of the Boston Red Sox-
 Manager Mack of the PhiIadAlpfia team. wants it to be distinctly under stood that he never, said he would not let Baker play on his team, as was stated by a Boston paper yester- day.
 Eff Baker desires to play. I can not prevent him, as he is signed up to contract which binds me as well as him. If he joins us IScannot pre- vent him playing, but I want to say right here that hope he does not l join us. He can make more home runs in Trappe, Md, than he can for us, and perhaps that is for the bet ter.
 tI will not allow him, to play for any other team, and I hope that he does not bother me any more. It is just about time that some of these money mad ball players who have no consfderation for anybody but them selves are brought fo sense of their own lack of Judgm ent.''

Outside Observations
YALE OARSMEN ALMOST DROWN
 IN BIG SQUALL


 New Haven, Conn, April 2s-Mera- bers of the Yale varsity and sopho- more crews and a single sculler had marrow escapes on New Haven harbor last evening when sudden squaiI' swept the water while they were far from shore. Coach Nickalls was out in the coaching launch at the time, and his quick action saved the oars men.
 Nickalls who's was near the varsity boat, which was three miles out from the boat house, immediately ordered the launch swung around so that the crew shell was the lee side. With that temporary respite, the oarsmen got their shell headed dfagonaIly across the rising waves and made for the shore. They barely reached Nor ris CUves a. mile away, in time, for the water In the shell was over their ankles, and q few more minutes would have swannped the boat At Morris Cove thay ba4ed out their shell and proceeded cautiously along the shore for three miles, finally reaching the Yale boat house in safety.
 After seeing the varsity headed for the shore, Nickalls sent the coaching launch to the rescue of the sophomore boat and George Vanderbilt Caesar of Tacoma, Wash. who was in the sin gle scu1I. They were further out than the varsity had been. When he. ar rived, after a two-miIe run through breaking waves, in record time, he found the sophomore having a hard time of it.
 They had found it impossible to make headway or to get their shell headed across the waves. despite the best efforts of the eight men in the boat. Caesar, in the single scull, was in an even more perilous position NickaIIs quickly took him aboard the launch.

 TO BOSS FARM

Philadelphia, Penn, April 2s- Home Run" Baker, who refused to play with the Athletics until Connie Mack gave him n1ore money and who recently signed to play with the Up land team of the Delaware County League, yesterday was engaged by John P. Crozer of Upland, a wealthy year, to manage Mir. Crozer's exten- sive stock farms, according to dis patches received here from Harrisburg Baker will prepare the Crozer prize stock for fairs and exhibits and will seize the present opportunity, it is be- Heved, to fanni1iarize himself with a business that will bring him greater financial returns than baseball
 Connie Mack refused to comment on Bakers latest move other than to de- clare he had never said he intended to blacklist the famous third baseman. T want to say. however, continued Mack, that never want to see Baker again He has treated the club un- fairly, and I have no time for a man who is unfair in his dealings
 New York, April 2S-Baker recently wrote to a manager of an independent club in this city offering to play here on Sundays for $15O, This letter the local manager, so Baker sent an other letter, and his terms for each Sunday game were reduced to $1Oo. Inasmuch as Baker has an ironclad agreement;w with the Athletics, the local manager decided that he did not wish to invite trouble with organized base ball with the possibility of Sunday games in New York being prohibited so Bakers services were not desired.
