jim THORPE is
SLATED TO GO
TO BALTIMORE

New York, April Jim Thorpe will
not perform in the major leagues this
season, the last of his contract with
the New York National LeagueN club.
Reports that Jimmy Callahan had
asked John McGraw to, send Thorpe
to the Pirates are not exactly true.
Callahan could have had Jim for the
asking and he declined to take the
Indian. In fact, anybody in the ma
sjors could have got Thorpe, for the
New York club some time ago asked
for waivers on him.
Net only have all the big clubs
waived on Thorpe, but even Tommy
Leach, Rochester's new manager,
when offered the Indian at Marlin, did
not take him. That all the majors
waived is not to be wondered at. when
Jirn's $4,000 contract is taken into
consideration. Anybody whom Nc
Graw turns loose without any strings
attached is not likely to be worth
within $4,000 of that amount IN these
post-bel1um days.
Reports from the South indicate
that, while Thorpe has shown marked
improvement this spring, especially in
his batting, he is still far from a.
major Lacquer. His scheme of bat
ting left-handed has worked pretty
well, and he has utilized his natural
speed to better advantage, yet Leach,
AFTER looking MIN over, could not see
how he could use Thorpe. 1t could
not have been a question of salary
with Rochester, for when Thorpe does
go to the minors the New York club
will pay nearly $4,000 of his annual
stipend.
They say that Jack Dunn has indi-
Gated a willingness to take a. chance
with the Indian at Baltimore. Who
ever gets him will have to hold on to
Thorpe unless the Giants should
want to recall him on fifteen days
notice. 4 4

YALE WILL TAKE
II PLAYERS ON
JOURNEY TO SOUTH

Captain RoIy Vaughn, of the Yale
baseball team has announced the ten
tative makeup of the Yale squad for
the southern trip during the Easter
vacation. which will begin April L g.,
Seventeen men are included in the
list.
They are: Munson, watrous, Gar
field, Walsh. Neville, Bush, Boyle,
Cotty. Armstrong, Early, Holden,
Shelpley, Thomas, Smell. johnson,
Kinney and Vaughn. The Yale team
will go into training Monday.
1t now seems likely that only one
game on the Yale schedule will be
cancelled on account of weather con-
ditions. Most of the Yale diamond
is free from snow and prospects are
that it will be fit for the Amherst
game April 8.
Two injuries have marred the Yale
practice thus far. bud Nudge, catch
er on the Yale team two years ago,
has left for home in st. Paul to re-
cover from an attack of grip. He
is expected to return before the Am
herst game. Stub Early who is ex-
pected to play an outfeld position, is
laid up with an injured knee, suffered
while sliding in the baseball cage.
The hurt is not serious enough to keep
him out of the early games, although
he will be unable to practicet for some
time.

The Bridgeport City Soccer team
will meet the Babcock- Wilcox com
bination of Bayonne, N. J., at New
field park tomorrow afternoon at 2:30.
The winner of this game will enter the

the competition.
The locals will be represented by the
same eleven that was defeated by the
ContinentaIs a month ago in the
fourth round Ct the national cup com
petition. In addition to other stars
Bob Millar, the well known forward,
will be among the visiting Jerseyites.
The city will line up as follows: Cal

ANNIVERSARIES \
OF RING BATTLES

1898-George Dixon and Tommy
White fought 2O-round draw at SYRIA
fcuse. White, a Chicago lad who
was known as. ''the Board Of Trade
Pet" was one of the best feather
weights of his day, although he never
attained to championship honors. He
started his career in the rugged days
of long and gruelling battles. His
first important engagement was with
Tommy Morgan and went "a rounds.
In 1890 he fought Al rounds with Geo.
SiddoPs and 48 rounds with Billy Bren-
nan. His longest contest was with
Danny Daily in 1891, and went 81
rounds to a draw. White fought
drawn battles with nearly all the
featherweight champions of the period
including 32 rounds with australian
Billy Murphy, 10 rounds with Ike Weir
rounds with Young Critic, z rounds
with Eddie Santry, Is rounds with
Solly Smith, and two 2O-round draws
with George Dixon.l 1t was not until
he fought Terry McGovern that White
found a man who was decisively' and
conclusively his master. In 1900 he
fought three contests with the Brook
Ign Terror, the first going 6 rounds to
a draw and the second he lost on a
knockout in the 3rd round, while in
his last bout with Terry, staged in
Milwaukee, he lost in rounds.

GIANTS HEAR
FUNNY UMPIRE
IN TEXAS CITY

Houston, Tex, April 1t is really
too bad for the benefit of the fans
who brag of the individuality of Lord
Bill Byron that John Kinley Tener
never came to Texas and saw Shorty
Lubbock of Houston in action. Lub-
book is an umpire and one of the best
ever seen.
When he makes a statement he in
sists upon giving his reasons for it,
and he carries it into his work as a
judge of balls and strikes, and fair and
foul balls. He was the centre of in
terest at Buffalo Park yesterday af-
ternoon where the New York Giants
defeated the Houston Bluffs by a score
of 4 to 1.
Lord Bill Byron may chant of how
1.-The noble athlete is moved to anger,
and resentment but Bill expects his
decisions to be accepted without ex-
PLANTATION or excuse. Not so with
Lubbock. He is nothing loath to
break a lance, or even several, with
any one on his decisions.
Back of the pitcher he stands and
calls Ball, a foot inside. You must
get them over POLL 1t may be Bill,
or Nick, or Tom or Jerry. He knows
them by their first names. If the de-
livery be a strike he'll call Strike.
A beauty; it cut the pan, batter. A
beauty say and he shakes his. head
in approval of the ball.
His decisions at the bases are equal
Iy heroic, not to say picturesque.

STOP
Today he did a fan away slide into
the plate with Wendell, when he call
ed the latter out at home.
But to depart from the absorbing
topic of the eccentricities of Lubbock
and come to the less interesting mat
ter of how the game was played. Sew
eral times this column has pointed
out the fact that Poll Perritt and
Fred Anderson would be of value to
the Giants in their fight for the Ma
tional league pennant and every time
they pitch the belief becomes more of
a. conviction.
They divided the task of working in
the centre of the diamond and their
work was more than satisfying. In
the six innings Poll worked he was
found for three hits, one of which
was a. triple to the centre field fence
by Dode Criss. Not the sign of a
safety was made off Anderson.

YANKS' TRAINING

New York, April Training a ball
club consisting Of, as many players as
the Yankees took south this spring
entails a much greater expense than

$4,000 and $1,000 from the New York
owners. Car fare for players and Of

YANKS JOLT
RED PITCHERS
AND WIN GAME

Memphis, Tenn, April 1.-The Yam
KEGS ran up against their first big
league club here yesterday and the
lads representing Manhattan Island in
the American league were not found
wanting. Bill @Donovan's crack reg
iment looked better yesterday than
at any time this spring, and easily
rolled back Herzog's Cincinnati Reds
by a score OF 8 to f.
The Red1egs really never had a
1ook-in, and up to the eighth inning
they tapped George Mogridge, the Des
Moines 1eft-hander. only for a pair of
hits Donovan intended to have
Heating finish the game, but M ogridge
was going SO well that he asked to
<stick it out. The new portsider
tired in the eighth inning, when the
Reds biffed him1for four solid hits.
The Yankee regulars are hitting
harder in each game. They rocked
out eleven blows this afternoon Pete
Schneider, the Reds crack righthand-
er. took most of the. punishment, as
he was naced for nine hits and six
runs in i've innings. Heinie Schulz,
the former ankee 1eft-hander. who
hoped to the Buffeds in 1914, sueA
ceeded Schneider. and did much bet
ter. An error by Herzog helped New
York to the runs scored on Schulz in
the seventh inning.
Frank Gilhoo1ey was the leading
thorn in SchneidersS side. as tGil'
pu1nneled him right and left for
triple and two singles in three times
he faced Pete. scoring two runs and
driving in two others. Joe Gedeon
also made a strong first impression on
the Tentonic Peter. In the first inn
ing he drove in aSrun with a warm
single, and in the fifth he drove a
homer into the left field b1eachers

Yale Captain Claims
Present Track Squad
Too Small to Count

New Haven, April Capt. w. M.
O1er OF the Yale track team is MAX
ing an earnest plea for more men to
take up track work. and increase the
present small number that are out
on the paths. He announced that all
men who make a conscientious effort
to make the team will be taken to
the Ya1e-Harvard dual meet at Cam
bridge. He discussed the situation as
follows:
''The outdoor track season will open
on Wednesday, April 5, the day fol-
lowing the smoker. If the condition
Of the track should not permit its
use, the work will take place in the
cage. The spring inter-cIa1ss meet will
be held April 20, which is only three
weeks off. while the Princeton meet
will come within a month. The pros
poets of the team are bright as far as
they go but they do not go far
enough
yale will never be able to win
another intercollegiate championship
until the size of the squad reaches a
point where it can compare with
those of the other colleges, particu-
larry Cornell and Pennsylvania. Yale
does not seem to realize that as these
colleges have grown. the size of their
athletic squads has increased proper
tionate1y. Yale is trying to fight her
own battle against modern organiza-
tions with obsolete weapons Sand in
ferior numbers
