HURLEY In THE LEAD.
Hurley's Defeat of Washburn Last
Sunday Puts the Nine at the Top
in the League Standings.

LOO uuCn Tor w aSnDuru last sun
day and in a long drawn out CON
test fea ured with a good deal of
wrangling, some poor umpiring
and many Interruptions the locals
downed the lake siders by the count
of 6 TO 2. The ability of the local
lads to clout the pill brought them
the victory, and, while the hits
were scattered, they came at times
when they were needed and when
they meant runs. Phillip Secor
coined up especially bright with
the stick, getting three clouts in
four trips to the pan, one of which
was for through ticket. Wash
burn S support of their pitcher was
ragged at times, this break in their
usual good playing coming at times
when it helped to boost the total of
the visitors runs. Goulette, a
south paw and somewhat of bean
ball artist, worked on the hill for
Washburn and that he didn't have
anything on the Hurley stickers is
evidenced by the total in the hit
column, he being touched up ten
times. Carroll for Hurley had
Washburn at his mercy at all stag
es, and the best that they could do
was FIVE clouts off his delivery. In
addition to being stingy with hits
he whitfield ten of those who faced
him.
In the second frame Hurley got
one man across. Secor and Faul
both hit safe and were advanced
peg by Richard S sacrifice and when
EmunSOn flied out to center field
Secor crossed the plate. Wash
burn also registered in this half of
the seanCe Day was safe on an
error, went to the secord peg on an
overthrow and scored on Dudra
hit. Hurley's second score was
registered in the fourth inning.
SeCor drove out liner and the ball
bounded over the fence, making it
home run. Washburn S second
score was tailed in the fifth when
Dudra connected for a two -bagger
and completed the circuit on a sin
gle by GOulette. In the next frame
two Hurleyites crossed the pan.
Ross singled, Wolski sacrificed,
Post was hit by pitched ball and
when Secor connected it filled the
bases. A run was forced in when
Faul was beaned" and on a pass
ed ball Post made home. Hurley
added another IN the eighth on
base on balls and singles by Faul,
Richards and Darwin. Washburn
presented Hurley with another run
in the final inning by poor fielding
Mildren made the initial sack on
an error and on 'smore errors went
around to third and scored OH an
overthrow.
BY defeating Washburn last Sun
day Hurley went to the lead in the
league standing. with Phillips sec
ond and Park Falls third. The lat
ter two teams have both been in
the lead on different occasions so
far this season but were nosed out
by the crack Hurley bunch. Ash
land is showing good form and is
now in fourth place, giving way to
Mellen for the cellar position.

She wondered what was troubling
him.

matter very close to my heart" he
said with unusual gravity.
"Indeed?" she murmured encour-
agingly.

confessed. 81 am going to tell that
to the object of my affection"
A quick pain crossed the heart Of
Mary.
"Mr. Massey is coming home to-
morrow" she spoke Involuntary.
Yes, l know that" replied Albert
carelessly. 81 shall be glad to see
him, and he me. But that which I
have disclosed at present excludes
him from my thoughts. Tell me,
how shall I approach the lady of my
love, you, my good, kind guide and

calm and merry.

Yes, said Albert steadily, 81 have
provided that. If she refuses me it is
easy to cast the ring into the river
and seek to forget her in some dis
tant place. Mary, l want you to post
me, to rehearse my declaration with
me-"
why, surely" acquiesced she.
Albert walked away a few PAGES.
He returned and sat down beside her.
Mary" he began, q have some
thing to say to you"
"Why not use the name of your
prospective fiancee?" she questioned.
He paid no attention to her words,

as hostess seemed to be some gra-
cious lady chatelaine, with thought
only Of making everybody happy.
Mary began to do some serious
thinking, however, as the pleasant
days drifted by. Enthusiastically to
her mind Albert had gone directly
against her suggestions. He was
courteous to all, but the tabOoed girl
seemed to have fascinated him.
Whenever he could he was with her
and Eta appeared to'be pleased with
his attentions. Milne was furiously
incensed, fol. Albert constantly fore
stalled him in securing the company
of Eta.
It was in the thoughts of Mary
more than once to speak with Albert
on the subject of his flirting or court
ing, whichever it was, with Eta Vim

ton of his unfaithfulness to his chum

of his hands in a transport of rap

New Orleans, April A.-There arc no

ductor we have ever heard Of. He had
the boys all over the city this morn

the party through the Cabildo, a
famous old museum that dates back
to the days of French domination in
Louisiana. Here is the original death

teens with ball players. The Cleve-
land Maps are here, finishing their
training, and the members of the Peli-
cans trooped around TO pay their re,
spects to the Giants. Lee Fohl and
McGraw met this morning, and for an
hour or more they swapped tales OF
hits they never made.
John j. McGraw does not attach
much importance TO the spring games,
maintaining they furnish little real
line on the ability OF the clubs. "A
team will be going along like a cyclone
at this time Of the year. says Jawn
"and blow up with crash that VIII

real season opens. OF course, IN not
irving 20 say that the Phillies have
not a wonderful team, but merely that
il is a long way to the end OF the sea-

McGraw said last night that Baird,
the Young shortstop of Louisiana state
University. was one OF the best look
ing Youngsters he had ever seen on a
college diamond. THAT boy can field

like a real ball player. think that
he will develop into quite man IN 8

The Giants grabbed an early train
for Chattanooga. where they will ar
rive on Thursday morning, play the
Southern Association team there and
then hike for New York.
John J. McGraw will celebrate his
forty-third birthday on Friday, and hi
twenty-sixth year IN baseball as well.

YOUNG WENERT
TROUNCES FLYNN
Heavyweights Tumble Out
of Ring When the
Rope Breaks.
BY W. q. MGEEHAN

The fight between Charlie Weinert
and Dan .lPorky) Flynn at the Broad
way Sporting Club last night ended
dramatically. when both men went
whirling over the ropes into the crowd
in the tenth round There was about
minute to go, and Flynn, who had
been pretty IDLY battered, ducked
back against the ropes. Weinert dart
ed after him and INC top rope parted.
They went head over heels into the
crowd.
Both were pretty we'll dazed. Flynn,
who was underneath. came up with a
sprained back. Weinert was bruised and
shaken. Referee Hsukop stopped the
bout
Up TO that time the bout was rather
devoid of excitement. II started slow
ly. and in the third round the referee
demanded action. In the fourth Vein
ert got down TO business. With A
singing left he removed a front tooth
from Porky's mouth. Then he iattened
the Bostonisn's lips with A right up
percut.
Flynn was not in a lighting mood.
The house was small and his share of
the gate promised TO be microscopic;
so Porky remained on the defensive,
trying 10 block some of Weinert's left
jabs.
At the end Of the seventh round
Porky was being pretty well battered
up. When the bell sounded Manager
Joe Woodman gave him a drink out Of
a little vial. The stuff seemed TO act
like magic or Porky. He began TO rush
Weinert around the ring. and with a
vicious left swing he raised mouse"
over the Jerseyman's eye.
|, uas rumored that this medicine
was nothing less than the celebrated
oil OF tiger marrow fat, sold by Viii
son Miner. Whatever it was il put
speed into Porky, but il came too late
Weinert did not seem 10 be IN the
best Of condition, either. II he had
been he would have made short work
of Flynn last night. The breaking OF
the rope came while Flynn was in a
pretty bad way. The only similar ac-
cident we can recall was when Stanley
Ketchell and Billy Papke cstapulted
out Of ring in San Francisco. The
fall last night was a nasty one. Con-
sldering the force of the tumble il is
lucky that neither man was seriously
hurt.
The house was one OF the smallest
az the Broadway Club in some time.
During the early rounds the gallery
boys urged both men to "endeavor."
When Porky Flynn does not want 20 fight
he has the faculty of preventing the
other man from doing anything. Il was
the oil of Tiger marrow fat that saved
the evening. No lighters second should
ever be without il.
In the preliminaries Young Pinkie
Burns outslugged frankie Bell in four
rounds, Johnny Herman outwrestled
Soldier Epstein in a slow, Aoundering
bout. and Joe Bradley. OF Philadelphia,
outpointed Edwin Needles. Of Chicago.
Needles got the monicker tom the well
known sewing implement 'hich he re
sembles.

SPEED FEATURES
.SQUASHT0URNEYS
Bull Wins Finals Match
from Vanderpoel by
Stiff Scores.

Accurate placement shots and speed
proved 20 be valuable assets to Charles
VI. Bull, jr., in defeating William h.
Vanderpoel for the squash tennis cham
pionship Of the Squash Club in the
final match, played yesterday. The
scores were l5-12, 15-l2, 6-l5, IL
10 The expectation Of watching a
good match attracted a large crowd
TO the galleries, and they were re-
wardcd with close and thrilling
battle.
Bull relied principally on speedy
cross-fre and drives TO the back walls.
The burly Nsnderpoel found it eI
tremely difficult to combat this method
Of attack Bull invariably smashed
for kills" and forced matters at fast
pace.
Vanderpoel gained a big lead in the
third game, so Bull decided 10 sacrifice
that game and conserve his strength
for the ensuing game. Nanderpoel,
however, continued playing at the top
of his form in the fourth game and
jumped away TO good lead.
With an advantage of IL aces TO 3,
Vanderpoel saw his rival rally. and.
with the stubbornness that spelled
realization. slowly gather points that
made it - all. Vanderpoel slightly
recovered his stroke and again Sc
cured the lead, at II l2. but Bull
eyencd the score at II all. In the
battle for the final three points Bull
used all his skill and succeeded in out
playing his opponent.
Augustus J. Corder. twice winner of
the national squash handicap tourney
and captain of the Yale Club, failed to
lead a three man team 70 a single vic
tory over the Princeton Club players
in an invitation series az the Tiger
courts yesterday. The defeat Of Cor
der by Taylor was entirely unexpected,
though 1t was apparent that the Yale
man was slightly off his game. Taylor
however. was unerring in his play.'tak-
ing the first game by 1914, and lead
ing throughout in the second, TO win
By 10 II.
Harry Cesar rallied after a poor be-
ginning and defeated DR.. Mcclure by
score Of sl5, l5-6, 1916: while
Dr.. Harry r. Mixsell accounted for the
third Princeton victory by a win over
Robert Pierce by score of l5-13,
l5-l2.
Two defeats were the fate of Rober.

tennis tournament of the Columbia
Club yesterday. Wigham's first defeat
was administered by Irving II. Cor
nell in rather easy fashion by score
of l5-9. 10 =. The second setback
was by Frank ;. Keller, the veteran
player. by a score Of Is .. 15-7. and
enabled the latter to take the lead for
the title. Keller has six victories in
seven contests. with Milton L. Cornell
