BROOKLYN JOLTS
 RED SOX BOXMIEN AND WINS CONTEST

New York, April - Tristram Speaker, aided and abetted by those twin princes of the pitching peak. Dutch Leonard and George Foster. fought desperately to storm the trenches at Ebbets F,ei1d gesterday, but Wi1bert Robinson's Superbas, un- corking as g1ittering and gorgeous an exhibition of baseball as ever was Haunted in they faces of the fans at this season of the year, routed. the worlds champions, horse, foot and dragoons
 P The great Speaker choked off a. Su- perba count with a wonderful whip to the plate in the fourth frame and, with Foster on ahead of him in the eighth, slashed into one of Rube Mar quard.s southside sIants and lifted the ball high and dry over the right field wall for the red-hosed contingent's s full complement of runs.
 But Speakers wonderful aH-round playing and great pitching by the two heaving heroes Hofs the last world s series could not avail against the brand of ball furnished by the Brook Iyns.s Two savage Superbas slugging soirees on Foster, one in the sixth, which netted a lone run. and another in the eighth, which bagged a brace of tallies, overcame the pair of Red Sox counts Speaker manufactured with his homer and gave the Flatbush F'usileers the game by 3to 2.

AL M'COY KNOCKS
 OUT JACK HAMMON

Al Mccoy the nidd1eweight cham pion scored a Knockout last night at the East New York A. c. Mccoy stopped Jack Hammon in the. second round A left landed on Hammon's s jaw, and down went Jack for the full count. >Hammon lay very peacefully and somebody said that at the count of ten Hammon winked. This could not be verified.
 However, the folks out East New York way did say that Hamnon was a sparripg partner of Mccoy. While it is not exactly according to Hoyle for a fighter to box his sparring part ner in a contest, that might not have deterred Mccoy from landing a fegu- lar haymaker. Be it as it may, Mo Coy's. record acquired a K. O. that was not charged against the champion and Al needs all those he can get. .

ANNIVERSARIES
 OF RING BATTLES

1879-Jimmy. Potts, long a promi- nent lightweight battIer, born at Som erset, Wis. sJinmy's first ring bouts were fought in 1900, and for several years he was little known beyond the confines of Wisconsin and Minnesota. In 1905 he began to rningIe with the classy boys, and fought a draw with Maurice Thompson in St. Louis, fol- lowing this by defeating Cyclone Johnny Thompson in Milwaukee. Jimmy's first reverse came in the fol- lowing year. when he, was matched with Willie Fitzgerald in Indianapolis, the Hibernian knocking him out in the ninth round. He then fought a draw with Clarence English in Davenport and knocked out Curly Ulrich in Min neapolfs. He defeated Tommy Mowatt and other good men in Minneapolis in 1907, and then went East, fighting several boys in New York and Phila-. delphia. For a year or two there-- after he did most of his fighting in Gal gary and Edmonton. with occasional visits to Minnesota and Montana. Jimmy never got anywhere near the championship, but he was a good boxer, and was knocked out only once in his long ring career.

 Following the Crimson's Strong advocating change whereby the head coach. would have absolute au- thority in the development of the crew as Percy Haughton has had in handling the football team, William J. Bingham, 16, first marshal of the senior class and Captain of tEe track team,e makes a vigorous attack on the Harvard rowing system in a letter in The Crimson.
 Bingham asserts that the crew has not. the support of the undergradu- ates; that a certain member of the Varsity eight does, not want to re- main in the boat if things continue as they are, and that several. men have expressed a wish to see the crew de- feated.
 B. W. Mahan, .16, Captain of last years football 4tean,A is also opposed to the present system, which puts a youngster at the head of rowing, and H. r. F. Kreger, S16, coxswain in the present Varsity boat, asserts that while he is ..sbehind the Harvard crew heart and soul" yet he wants the coach to control the crew instead of the captain.

ASK FANS TO PAY TO WATCH
 FULTON TRAIN

New ork, April Sired Fulton is going to make us pay to see him go through his daily grind when in train ing here for Al Reich, whom he is supposed to meet at the Stadium on April 28. Fulton will follow in the footstepsi of Jess Willard and train at the Pioneer Sporting Club, anG ne who would see them ysterious MT. Fulton work out will have toA fork over two bits in honest money.
 Charley Doesserick, manager of the club, applied to the State Athletic Commission yesterday for permission to allow Fulton use Harry Wills and sam McVey as sparring partners. Fred Wenck, Chairman of the com@ rnission,- said that he would grant the request, land that he thought it a good idea.
 eff the public went to see him training and found that he was slow and unfit, then that same public would not pay@to see him box" said Wenck. He announced that a vote of the entire com mission, would be nec- ed to spar with colored men. even in training.
 -~ Charles Doesserick of the Pioneer Sporting club told Wenck that Full ton would leave Milwaukee today to prepare for Reich. He filed the Full ton contract with the commission.
 John J. Mack, who is said to be heading a New York syndicate that will put on the contest, said that the Reich contract was on the way to French Lick Spring, there to be signed by Maxey B1umenthal, Reich's manager.

SPEAKER AGREES
 ON SALARY WITH
 RED SOX MANAGER

New York, April s-Tris Speaker, the hold-out star of the Boston Red Sox, held a secret conference with his chief, Joseph Lannin here last night, and the pair reached an agreement by which the crack scenterdeIder will remain in Boston. Speaker will sign with. Red Sox either tonight or in Boston next Monday.
 Speaker and Lannin compromised their differences and Speaker will probably draw $1O,GO0s next year, $1,o00 more than Lannin wanted to pay him, but s2.0O0 less than Speaker had been insisting upon. That Speaker and Lannin have reached an agree ment came from a source close to the officials of the Boston club.
 Lanhin says he has heard nothing about Joe Wood recently, and. cares little whether the former pitching star pitches this season or. not. With Shore, Foster, Leonard and Ruth for a first quartet, Lannin thinks his team is able to get along 4lvery nicely with out Joe, even though his arm is com ing back.

Exhibition Games In
 South Between Major : Clubs To Be Feature

Exhibition games between teams of the two major leagues are becoming more numerous each year and it will be only a short time before the greater part of clubs spring games will be such exhibitions for the edification of fans in the South, who have no other opportunity to see big 1eaguers play ing big 1eaguers.
 The Southern fan has ceased to en- thuse over, or pay his money to see a game between major leaguers and his own home team. There is nothing at stake in the first place, and he is gen orally sure to see his own team lose, Hence the lack of interest.
 With major league clubs opposing each other there is enough prestige at stake to make both show real base ball. This spring there were twice as many games played between major Ieagluers as in any previous season. In many cases these series in the South will be repeated next year. It looks as if the club owners have finally found a way to clear expenses on the training trips.

WHITE SOX HOPE OF PENNAN LIES

Among the teams figured this year zs strong contenders for the A1ner1- can League pennant is the Chicago White Sox.

SPRINGFIELD MAN WANTS TO
 BUY LOCAL BASEBALL CLUB.
Snappy Snapshots Of Interest To Those, Who Follow Sporting
 Events
(By Wagner.)-

A Springfield sportsman named Wilkinson is said to be willing to buy the Brid dgeport franchise if the Rem ington Arms Co. does not exercise it's option before tonight The Spring field man has lots of money and be- lieves the local franchise will be a paying proposition.
 The Remington officials have been holding back because they have been unable to get the proper man to take a half interest in the franchise and run the professional club. The Rem ington people are interested only in getting NewfeId park for their shop 1eageu teams. They intend to build a big athletic field if they can't get Newfield park. One man who. was counted upon to buy interest in the, franchise refused this morning to enter the deal. So the situation is still in the air. If the Remington op- ition is not exercised by tonight the club owner will allow other bidders to compete for the franchise.
 The basketball rooters will see some excitement next Tuesday night when the first game of the series between the Blue Ribbons and the Norwall< five will start at Colonial hall. The NOfWaIK manager IS SO dHAIouS 4OA victory that he has engaged the en- tire Sheepshead Bay team to repre- sent him! The, Ribbons will have Jack Inglis of Carbondale, Pa, and Garry Schmelke of the New orlz Nationals.

EASTERN BASEBALL


 Gus Gardella, ex-Springf1eld third baseman, wants to play in Lynn. Worcester claims him and so does Hartford, Worcester also claims Dan ie1s, former Springfield pitcher Man ager Billy Hamilton has wired to Sec retary Farrell to see where he stands on the tGardella case.
 The Worcester club has signed up the, following players: Halsteen, first base; Cooney, second base; Courtney, shortstop or outfeld;s Strantz, third base; Eggais and Condon, pitchers; Billy Phoenix, third base; IT. Shea, Carroll, catcher: Gardella and ''Stuffy'' Carol have not signed yet. Tyler batted .3o1 last year with Syracuse of the New York State league. Two years ago he went south with the Braves, Walter Kenneficz of Springfield being there his premier opponent Strantz was in the New ark Feds last season. Phoenix, years ago, played with Bridgeport.
 Manager Jack Flynn of the Spring field club saw Holy Cross practice. He thinks Outfelders Bowen and Wig ellsworth real good men. AThe Holy crashing though. unless it shows a pitcher.
 Jack Donne1ly, of Lowell, defeated candidate for president of the mer- ger league, has a perfect attendance record thus far.4 He was here again today.
 Eastern 1eaguers think well of Wal lace, SpringfieId's new left handler. He is said to have plenty of stuff.
 New London, Rutland, Lawrence and Lowell are considered the best ball clubs on paper so early Spring field and Hartford are generally, but not correctly the poorest clubs.

OWNER HAUGHTON
 ATTENDS SECRET MEETINGS OF TEAM

Percy Haughton has practically made his letter. It is a. little early in the season to be sure of it ,but it is almost certain that when he returns to Boston he, will be entitled Co wear the big ''B'' that shows that he is a regular Brave. writes R. B. AdcNGillian in the Boston Journal. In the first place. he has attended morning skull practice" of the squad, and in the sec ond place he stayed throughout. After he emerged from a session, Boss Stall ing said: SRresident Haughton was with us on my invitation. He is the first club president that ever work ed for to be asked into one of our star chamber meetings. You may draw your own conclusions.''
 By way of drawing the same, one
 might remark that P. D. is making good not only as a proxy but as a base ball man. He Is recognized by the players as mnagnate who knows considerable about the Famous inside stuff. without being oVeranxfous to force his knowledge on his men. Haugheon sat on the Braves bench during the games with the A'sss-ArOund him parked the yelp1ng pack of pep perry players, but he never yips. never criticises. never applaudE, simply sits and absorba every bit of baseball that the coming champions are cutting loose for his and their own beae3it,
