HAUGHTON TO COACH.
Harvard Re-engages Football Coach
 For Another Long Term.

Boston, Mass, April 11.-Percy D.
 Iaughton has been re-engaged for an- other term of years to coach the Har- ward football team, the Harvard ath- letic committee announced last night.
 Leo Leary who has been for some time one of Haughton's chief assist ants, has also been engaged as field coach. The announcement was made late last night at the conclusion of long meeting and contained no partic- ulars as to the terms of the contracts.
 HaughtOn's previous contract eX- pired last fall after Capt. Mahans eleven had overwhelmed Yale Al to O. Since then Haughton had become president of the Boston National league baseball club and it was feared his new activities would interfere with his gridiron work.
 Under the so-called Haughton sys- tenn of coaching, Harvard has had more constant success on the gridiron than at any previous time in the foot ball history of the university, but 1t was admitted that the task of bulld- ing up a winning team for next fall was hard Mahan and other stars will be lost by graduation and recently the teams prospects were dealth heavy blow by the disqualification of Capt Elect Gilman and of Boles and En- wright, leading back-field candidates because of scholarship difficulties.

Constant Dripping,

They say that constant dripping wears away stone. Unless club owners make a big change in the starting time next year you can add this line to the old adage, but it doesn't wear away bone."
 The old ones have stood pat, but we would like to see some of the new magnate entries-men like Captain Huston, Colonel Ruppert, Percy Haughton and Charlie Weeghman- make a stand for this 1917 program he: CD The playing season not to open a day before April 20, prefer ably not before April 25. CD No exhibition game of any sort allowed in major league cities before the first championship game is played
 We believe there are few older nlagnates who would join in this crusade, and the combination should make a fight for the new program me that would know no limit.

The Transfer of Speaker,

Iris Speakers shift to Cleveland means a big shift in the American League race.
 With the Texan covering acres of soil on defense and batting .330 on attack, the Red Sox were pro- nounced favorites in the younger corral.
 Now they are certainly not to be rated above the Tigers or White Sox, and the odds against them, in place of being to 5, are now to 1.
 Speaker was good enough to win at least ten games in the field or at Lat that an ordinary or good average outtlelder would miss. And the Red SoX are not strong enough to spot the Tigers or White Sox, or even the Tanks, ten games.

 Wrestler's Shoulders Twice.

Hartford, April 11.-'Strangler' Lewis demonstrated to a big crowd last evening in Persons theater that he is in a class by himself as a wrest- Ter, when he defeated the Masked Marvel" in straight falls, winning the first in 32 minutes with a head scissors double bar hold, and the second in minutes With double bar body hold.

THINGS WE HEAR AND
 ARE THANKFUL FOR
Manager of Athletics Asserts That Onc-Day Stands Will Be Elimi-
 mated Next Year.

Philadelphia. April 11.-Connie Mack returned from the South very much disappointed over the showing of his players. The manager of the Athletics said yesterday that never again would the Athletics embark on transforming trip through the spring season.
 Next year Mack will take his players to the training camp about the middle of March and keep them there until the day before the open ing of the regular season. He thinks the players can do more work and be taught more at the camp than in meeting minor league teams and col lege clubs in the South.
 Mack's players are not in the best of condition to start the American league race. The tall leader has not decided on the makeup of his team, and it will be several weeks before he shapes it up. This is sure to give him a poor start in the American League race; but Mack declared that he intended to stick to his task and fight his battle until he had won it. It is almost certain that Joe Bush, who is in better condition than any of the other pitchers. will be on the mound against the Red sox in the opening game. Crowell, Majors and Meyers are also in pretty good shape. The others need lot of work, and 1t is a question how many of them will make good. Wyckoff and Bressler will remain in the South until they get into condition.

The Right Proof.

To prove that it is utter fool5h- ness will get you nowhere with --lany of these "early openers"
 But to show COncluSiVely that 1t is bad business may get one a hear :ng And this is easy proof
 The best business that a good many clubs do is through the first month of the race, before they have hit the chutes. All clubs draw, on the average, more people in the late spring than in the fall. The game is then young and fresh, with a Eeener appeal, after a winter of re- pose.
 But, in place of being able to take advantage of this early season eager l4ess and desire, over half the games as now arranged for the first month are either postponed or played on raw, windy, in-threatening days, that cut the crowd in half.
 So the owners not only lose the full worth of their ball players, who are through trying to force the best part of their season upon a public under conditions almost totally un- fit.
 This makes it hard on the fan, on the player and on the club owner Who is helped by an early start? Mo- body but the undertaken. And yet, knowing all this, club owners still refuse to be budged from the most insane stand that a body of supposed ly good business men ever took.

SILVER CITY BOXING
 COMES UP TO MARK
Fulton Fouls NIedar and Is Driven From Ring-Condon Beats
 COrteZ.

Meriden, April Tiff there is one city within the confines of the Nutmes State. where the boxing fans get a run for their money it can be truth fully said that the city is Meriden After putting on one of the best ex- hibitions ever held in Connecticut seV- eral weeks. ago. the Lenox A. c. came right back last night with another top notch card, and the crowd that packed the hall on Olive street was we'll paid for their attendance. While some ot the sports said the former bouts ex' celled, there was not a murmur o1 kick over the three exhibitions pre- scented by the club.
 An unfortunate incident in the sec ond bout of the evening between Young Fulton and Dave Medar whereby Fulton was disqualified by Referee Alderman Fitzgerald fol fouling, was the only blot on the pro- gram. The boys, however, gave fine exhibition while in the ring. Fulton s work was not as clean as might De expected. He pushed and roughed it with his lighter opponent throughout the fray, and once he pushed him through the ropes and another time both men fell out of the ring to the floor. Medar hurt his head, but gamely responded. Fulton struck Medar low in the same round, but as it was unintentional, no notice was taken by the referee. In the next round when Fulton repeated his foul work he was waved to his corner and the mill stopped. Up to this time Medar by his wonderful CleVerness had shaded his opponent hitting him repeatedly, but there was little force behind the blows.
 As long as Harry Condon continues to put up the stellar brand of fight pearances in this city, he will continue to be a prime favorite. Meeting Andy Cortez who weighed considerably more than Condon, the brilliant little l battler from the Metropolis, had l things pretty near his own way and l at the end of the fray it was the con- : sensus of opinion that he was an easy l winner.
 Although Joe Ryan of New Britain l was covered with blood from head to foot at the end of the sixth round
 battle with Young Mack, he was an even term finisher with the sturdy lit | tie battler of the Silver City. Joe | looked wary several times, but that
 "old beam of his was working which ] got him out of trouble.

 mand Part of Purchase Money

Boston, April 11.--Tria Speaker, can league club to tho team in Cleveland, left for the latter city last night. After a conference with President J. J. Lannin, of the Red Sox the outfelder said conditions were satisfa ctory to him.
 Speakers reported intention to de- nnand part of the sum, estimated at from s20,ooO to s5o,ooo, which was paid the Boston club for his release, was not pressed, it was understoodT
 Speaker was at Fenway Park in the afternoon and saw the Red Sox lose to Harvard 1T certainly am sorry to leave Boston; where I have always been treated we'll, but do not set the idea, that my going will spoil the teams chances for the pennant. Carrlgan has a great team without me. Gosh. but it's going to be some change, from Boston to Cleveland. l can hardly realize it,,. said Iris. ee
 When asked what he .thought ot the deal Manager Carrigan replied: Tt is not going to help us any is it?' He looked as if he had just lost 8 few thousand dollars.
 Could Not Afford It. =.
 Speaker is a grand fellow person. ally and he and I are good friends and we will continue to be. He is a wonderful ball player. But he has been getting a very big salary, and this year we did not feel we could meet the figure he demanded said Lannin. -..
 'In the last two years he has re- ceived $30,000 in salary and an adr ditioual $4,000 as his share in the worlds series receipts. He has re-, ceived $15, 900 a year for the last two years, and this year it was impossible for Us to give him that amount. It is absolutely impossible to take in enough at the gate to pay such an enormous expense of only one man I offered Speaker contract at $1O,000 a year, but he refused it and there the matter has stood. --s, Speaker has always been a. con- scientious player and has tried Co earn the salary he was paid, but we have felt that the amount was too big for us He had remained un- signed, refusing to make a contract at less than 5000 a year.

What It Would Mean.

Such d programme, if carried through next spring, would mean this:
 CD Good opening day weather, on an average, insuring a fast-running start for the new campaign.
 CD Better playing condition for the players, who would have a chance to hold the physical form they have built up in the South without any setbacks.
 (3) keener interest, through lack of lot of foolish exhibition games that take away the edge and dull the appetite.
 (4) More money for the magnate, more pleasure for the fan, better condition for the player and better baseball for all.

GRIFF'S MEN LOSE.
GaIlia Is Wild and Forces In Deciding
 Tally.

Washington, April 1.-The Phila- delpha Nationals yesterday won the last of their exhibitions games here with the Washington Americans by 2 to 1. In the eighth, with the score a tie and the bases filled by a scratch hit and two passes, Gallia forced over the winning run by walking Bancroft. The early innings presented a pitch ing duel between Walter Johnson and Grover Alexander. Johnson proved the superior, for in the three in nings in which he occupied the box he did not allow a hit or run and showed perfect control. Alexander hurled only two rounds and yielded two hits. The score:

One of his teammates who batted ahead of him and profted by Tvs hits did so. Six times he has made more than 200 hits in a sea- son, his high water mark, PAS in 1911, being the league record. Tn 1911 he also scored 147 runs. also a league record. as is his 96 stolen bases during the season of 1915. As an anticlimaX Tyrus also was the only big leaguer in 1915 to score two runs in one inning and to twice make two hits in an inning.

a star and we'll above outfielding average.
 Speaker was not only a power on defence, but, with the Texan gone to Cleveland, the Red SoX haven't 900 hitter left in the fold. So there will be another blow delivered at the clubs offensive strength.
 With Speaker away, and with Joe Wood, who won fifteen games last season, also gone, the Red Sox's pros poets fade from crimson to dull brown If the pitching slips for an extra breath it will be hard going for the club that now holds the chanp pionship of the game.
 Who says there is nothing new under the sun, with Collins and Jack son in Chicago, Speaker in Cleveland and Baker in New York.
 Pat Moran isn't bothering about Speaker; but he is still sore that owner Lannin didn't sell Duffy Lewis last September to the Fiji Island League.
 There used to be a saying in base ball that a club owner couldn't afford to sell a star player. But the mod crn club owner, or most of them. will sell you his right eye if the price is light.
 How will the sale of Speaker affect Boston fans? A winning club can make the average fanatic forget Ty Cobb. But memory develops a sud- den keenness in the process of a, slump. If the Champs start out badly the roar is likely to be lusty one.

Beating It En.

When sixteen major league clubs came out of the warm sun of the far South into series of snowstorms and wintry gales, losing most of the good they had gained, it would seem to the casual non-com blatant that the lesson had now been driven in deep enough to stick.
 Big league magnates have found, year after year, that mid-April is two weeks in advance of spring and baseball weather, but they still per sist in bucking fate and putting the same old stone wall of calendric des- tiny, as you might say.
New Britain herald., 1916-04-11

We wonder if this last April snow storm will be enough to teach mag mates of the National and American leagues the right lesson?
 It ought to be but we doubt 1t.
 For there are too many people in this bizarre universe who learn all too slowly, who profit noting from experience and who would rather stand pat in bog than out on dry land.

The Blow to Boston

This old Red SoN outf1eld was the greatest defensive trio in the game. 1t made the pitching look better than It actually was by a number of de- grees.
 And Speaker, ranging far and wide in centre, was almost half this out field. The Red Sox will never win without him unless the centre fielder Nho takes his place is quite a bit of
