War conditions are held responsible
for the blooded horses arriving in New

a right and left swing to the head, two
full, vigorous blows. Then he worked
his left shift. The usually idle hand
landed flush on McKinnon's jaw. II
was perfectly aimed and perfectly
timed. and had Moran let it go in
with the full charge II would have
made the rest Of the afternoon a blank
for Mr.. Mckinnon. As II was, that
ambitious and energetic boxer slowed
down decidedly.
Frank Kendall. with his head encased
in armor plate, was the next victim for
the left hand demonstration. He
stopped some fine, smashing left hooks
with his gear. BARLEY Madden also
began to realize that Moran was not
handed In fact, Moran was so
anxious TO demonstrate the port bat
terry that he seemed a changed boxer.
There is no doubt that Moran is down
about as fine as he should be. lie
looks almost why compared TO the way
he looked when he fought Cohey. Also
he is wearing that impatient manner
which comes 20 the athlete who Is Just
on edge for his work.
From now on the Moran routine will
consist almost entirely OF boxing.
Strenuous road stunts are taboo. The
challenger Is almost at the weight
which he will carry when he enters the
ring. To reduce any further would
weaken him.
II was evident yesterday that Moran

Lusty Swatting Brings Out
Some Big Hitting
Possibilities.
J. FRANKLIN BAKER
IS OUT FOR RECORD
Magee and Gilhooly Also Show
Grand Stick Work
at Macon.

Macon, Ga, March l1.-Yankee camp
fires have been blazing for almost three
weeks now in the shadow Of the red
clay hills, and to-day for the first time
batting eyes were adjusted TO the
proper degree.
Lusty swatting, by which the regu.
lars subdued the second team. brought
to mind the number Of possible or
probable 800 hitters for the record
book of the next winter league. The
blessed Yanks haven't had regular
800 hitter since Birdie Cree subsidized.
but 1916 will be another anthem.
wsrbed In a different key.
How many 300 prospects are there e?
First there is John Franklin Baker.
John Franklin says that in 1914 he was
batting better than at any time in his
career until taken sick. He was up
above 1850 and climbing daily after the
spectacular Cobb until this illness
drove him back 20 .301. lie then rose
back TO .3l9 before the season closed
Baker. as he looks to-day. with the
keen interest he is showing in his work
and his general alertness, is as sure a
300 man as the immortal Tyrus him
self. So that makes one.
Then follows Lee Magee. Magee. who
has been stiff and sore from hard work.
has just rounded into shape. and to-day
he poled three safe blows. Magee was
$3.50 man with the Feds last year.
and, bereft of his managerial tsngles
and worries, he would have risen above
$50. With his keen eye and his speed.
plus his ability 10 cross even good
pitching, you can write him in the 300
circle and make no mistake.
GilhOoly Counted On.
Then there is Frank Gilhooley. This
lightning flash in human form came up
once before. Working forty games with
the Yanks, he batted $40. They sent
him back on account of an arm that
wasn't working. and in Class IA he
batted 1922. Gilhooleyis as fast as any
man in baseball. and this doesn't bar
Ty Cobb, Amos Strunk or Fritz Maisel
He is a 300 probability, If not 800
cinch.
These three are not all There are
Maisel, who was batting over BOD until
the last three weeks Of the 1915 cam
paign, when sickness removed his pep

field. Fritz is willing to gamble that lie
finishes over the classic line Of swat.
And still further. there is Walter
Pipp, who Johnny Evers says will bat
300, and undoubtedly has improved
greatly since he joined the Yank squad
a year ago.
This makes five 800 probabilities,
and Of the lot at least three should
finish with the elect.
Given the pitching this club has got

Making Good at Marlin

when two men were out and no one on
base in the lucky seventh. Fletcher
made three hits, scored run and drove
Thorpe home in the ninth after jim
had tripled.
Thorpe's hitting was more than salts
factory 10 every one, including John j.
McGraw. In the first inning Jim hunted
ny to the pitcher. but in the third he
beat out roller along the third base
line which was perfectly played. He
struck out IN the fifth, and then. burn
ing with Indignation, he proceeded TO
break down the fences.
Somewhere or other Black. the Dallas
pitcher, heard that Jim could not hit a
curve ball. So he hooked couple uD.
jim promptly busted one over the CEN
tire helder's head for the circuit. In
the ninth Black cssayed another hook.
This one Jim turned down into right
field for a triple, and the fans chcered.
Kelley had d merry time IT the bat.
lie walked on his first two trips 20 the
plate, then he got single TO left, and
followed this By hitting the centre field
fence for d home run in the eighth
frame. with Larry Doyle on first base.
George played A good game in centre
field and made an exhibition throw TO
the plate from centre field that was the
acme Of perfection.
Perritt had the Greys at his mercy
during the five frames he worked. He
allowed only three hits. and he was
never in the slightest danger Of being
scored upon. He had his curve ball
breaking like summer lightning. and
the old fast one hoped into Wendell's
mitt with a snap like the bark OF a re-
volver. Mixed with those two delive-
ries was pleasing slow one that was
deception itself. Poll Is ready TO start
the season right now.
Schupp was not a whit less effective
than MS predecessor. but errors behind
him made 1t look dark for while in
the eighth. Thorpe muffed Mackey's
drive after hard run, and when the
dust had settled Brodreaux. who had
walked. was on second. and Mackey on
first. Mace then drew base on balls,
filling the sacks. Josefson. however,
struck cut. and Stupp forced Brodreaux
at the plate on hard drive TO Rod
riguez. Crouch then flied 10 Martin.
who made neat catch after hard run.
Jose Rodriguez. the Cuban youngster,
played a slashing game AT first base and
took perfect care of everything that
came near him. He dug = couple Of
poor throws out of the dirt and leaped
a mile for some high ones. II field
ing would decide the fate of this lad
from the Antilles he would march into
the major leagues with bands playing.

Hub Team Wins Victory

Minus the services of HOBBY Baker
and Kuhn, the brilliant forwards, the
st. Nicholas Skating Club hockey team
was defeated by the seven Of the Bos-

a score OF goals 10 in game that
required an extra period 70 decide the

through the gates at an early hour, with
Boston well represented. To Judge
from the uproar raised when the Bvs

more Bostonese among the spectators
than native New Workers.

other in Boston, the date TO be settled

Although wirhout the services Of the
peerless HOBBY Baker. If the truth
must be told, the St. Nicks never
played such an effective game as they
showed against Boston.
Little Captain Russell Ellis, the only
Canadian on the team. was everywhere
on the ice, rallying his men, dashing
into the thickest Of the battle and d.
recting the assaults on the Boston
cage. Twice in the first period he shot
the puck into the net past the vigilant
Donahue, the first time unassisted, and
again on a pass that he caught from
Cox's stick and catapu.ted into the
cage.

a raging. roaring lion on the ice. and
to him, in large part. was due the
victory of the visiting team. Once. in
