 OF RING BATTLES

1e01-Dan Creedon knocked out Billy Stiff in 9th round at Hot Springs. Either of these battlers would have been stars in the middleweight ranks to-day, with a good chance at the championship. but they were so unfor- tunate as to be at their best at a time when that division abounded with great performers Stiff was Chi cago boy, and a game, rugged battIer
 but he was not quite good enough. In 1899 he fought great contest with
 Kid Mccoy in St. Louis, but the Hoo sier knocked him out in the 18th round. Tn the same year he lost the decision in a 20-round engagement with Tommy Ryan in Davenport, and twice after that he lost to the Syra- cuse bruiser in Kansas City. In 1904 Ryan and Stift fought again in Benton

TR0RPE'S TfPLE BREAKS UP GAME
 FOR GIANT COLTS

San Antonios Tex, March 22-There is no getting behind the fact that the I second team of the New York Giants can play ball.. The youngsters have yet to lose their first exhibition game and it is no small wonder. They have i a batting order, with Doyle and Kauff in it, that reminds one of the old
 'tMurdererst Row of the Cleveland Maps So it was no wonder that they developed two wild hitting streaks in the eighth and ninth innings of the game with the San Antonio Broncos yesterday and won a hotly contested game by score of 2 stoA4
 For 8 while 1t seemed as if the Colts were going to lose their first game. The San Antonio pitchers were going along at a hurricane pace, and it came down to the eigth inning with the score lstanding at 2 to l. Then Larry Doyle got a base on balls Braiferd singled, and after Kaum flied out, Jim Thorpe hit to right for three bases. Hunters single, his third hit scored the Indian, and that lead. once was never re1inquished.
 Tn the ninth frame more hilarious hitting pushed three runs over the plate. Farrell, Doyle Brainerd and Kadn hit in succession Kauff's wal 1op was for, three bases. In the last half of the same inning the Broncoes rallied and got two runs off PaInero before order was restored.
 Herbert SHunter, who is rapidly making name for himself, wass one of the leading hitters1 of the after- noon- He shared the glory of the fray with Larry Doyle and Fred Brain erd, with three blows Each of these boys got doubles.
 Ritter and Pafmero pitched for the Giants and did we'll. palmero was inclined to loaf in the ninth and was trounced for several hits.

New Railroad Bridge
 May Force Change In
 Yale and Harvard Race

New Haven, March 22-YaIe and Harvard oarsrnen are deeply interest cd in the plans for the construction of the new railroad bridge over the Thames at New London. The site se- lected Is exactly the finish line of their annual races and they are at 2 loss to know how to meet the problem. They cannot move the start Of their four mile races farther up the river. bring 1ng the finish away from the new bridge as the start is made in a slight cove and the crews are too close to the bank for this to be possible.
 One Of the solHtionssof the problem is to have the finish line under one of the piers of the bridge. This will make the finish out of sight from pub lie view to the spectators on the ob- serwst1oH trains and will be unfortun- = ate. Altogether the problem is too com piteated to allow Of solution at ptesSnt It is possible that another survey of the course may be made Possibly the course will be shortened and not quite four miles rowed.
 The situation has given a. chance for the opponents of the New London course to urge Yale and Harvard to abandon it and to plan to meet either on the Schuy1ki11 with other college crews at the American Henley or on the Hudson at the Poughkeepsie re- gatta. Yale is opposed to leaving New London, where the most extensive rowing plant owned by any American university is located. owned by Yale
 Construction on the new bridge will be begun immediately but it is not ex- pected that twill be finished in time for the races on the Thames the last week in June It will cost $2, 800, 900. It will be located about 100 feet to the tnQrth9O of the present bridge, which ia located esome 75 feet south of the finish line of the four-nnile course.

CheckInn I'D the Governors.

Grand Junction Globe: Iowa has
had seven business men for governors.
OF these Merrill, Larrabee, Drake and
Shaw had wide business experience.
Then Ansel Briggs owned several
stage lines; John H Gear owned
general store before he went into
politics, and B. F. Carroll edited
newspaper before he was made state
auditor. But more than half of the
governors have been lawyers, includ-
ing Kirkwood, Grimes, Boies, Cummins
and Clarke. There is no doubt that
legal training gives peculiar fitness
for the public life and the successful
management Of public affairs.

Miss Fry played with considerable
sureness and depth Of feeling which
characterized her work throughout
the evening. She amply demonstrated
her interpretative ability in a group
of well chosen selections.
The work of Mrs. Schouten added
very perceptibly to the pleasure of
the evening. Her voice., rich con.

bers, which were rendered more or
less with marked degree Of finesse.
viii O. the W1sp" by Spross, was
worthy of special mention.
Mr.. Carter, though young artist,
played with real expression and dis.

"Berceuse,' by Grieg, was played
with appealing simplicity.
MI. Smith, is the possessor of a
beautiful baritone voice which he has
under excellent control. It has
