YANKS PLAY
SLEEPY BALL
AND REDS WIN

Cincinnati, April 3-Wasted oppor-
tunities spelled defeat for the Yam
KEGS yesterday afternoon in the sec
ond and last game of their series with
the Reds. Rain fell internationally
throughout the entire combat, and the
damp cold had a depressing effect
upon the New York players and the
few Cincinnati fans who attended the
opening of the season here. The score
of the Yankees first trouncing of the
year was 8 to 1.
The Yanks had several opportunf-
ties to inflict considerable damage on
their opponents, but only once did
they realize on their chances. In the
second inning Joe Gedeon got pass,
stole second and scored on the first
of Roger Peckinpaugh's singles. Two
innings later Joseph organized an
other promising rally, but just as ne
had things working nicely he allowed
himself to be picked off third base
Inspired by Gedeon's example,
Walter Pipp Numbered into a similar
fate in the seventh inning, when on
an attempted double steal with Peck
inpaugh as his running mate, he neg
lected to follow the direction of Tom
Clarke's throw, and was trapped
twenty feet off third base. 49,
Neal Brady pitched the first five
innings against the Reds, and was
mighty effective except in the third,
when the Reds made Gr1ff1th's dou-
BILE, Herzog's single rand its accom-
panying two-base error by GilhooIey,
a steal and a pass good for one run
The run tied the score, and there was
no further counting until the seventh

jim THORPE SENT
TO MIL WAUKEE BY
GIANTS MANAGER

Beaumont Tex, April 3.-The career
of Jim Thorpe as a major league ath-
lete is over, perhaps. John J. Nc
Graw has released the famous Sac
and Fox to the Milwaukee team of the
American Association under the op-
tiona1 agreement, but it is the consen-
sus of opinion that the option wilISnot
be exercised.
Thorpe will report to his new team
at once.
The failure of Thorpe to live up to
promise was a. disappointment to Nc
Graw. When the Indian reported
this spring he changed his stand at
the plate and hit 1eft-handed. He
failed to work any great improvement
however, and his nemesis of old, the
slow curve, worked just as great hav-
&C with his batting average as ever.
Jim could not hit the benders with
any degree. of success.
Failure to succeed worked on the
Indians nerve, and he would hit now
right-handed and again 1eft-handed.
When he took hold of a ball, his phe-
nomenaI strength enabled him to pole
il to a great distance, but he was not
consistent. He was more unlikely
to strike out with men on bases.
Moreover his fielding was not of ma
jor league standard despite his heoric
work to improve it,, and his speed on
the bases was not utilized to best ad-
vantage. Jim thought, but generally
wrong.

EASTERN MOGULS
MEET WEDNESDAY
TO FIX SCHEDULE

With the New Haven baseball fran
chise in the hands of men who in
tend to put assgood team into the city
and the Lowell team under the leader
ship of Harry Lord, the only cloud
that hangs over the Eastern league
horizon is caused by the Bridgeport
and Worcester situations.
In Worcester it is understood that
a, park has been secured but the agree
nent still lacks a signature or so
which will be forth coming in the near
future.
Wednesday the baseball moguls from
New Haven, Lynn, Lowell, Lawrence,
Worcester, Bridgeport, New London,
Portland, Hartford and Springfield
are expected to assemble at Worces-
ter to select a, playing schedule from
the number that will be submitted by
those anxious to land the 500 prize
offered at the last meeting of the
league. If there should prove to be
a large number of these the question
will probably be. referred to a COM
rnittee for decision and the schedule
adopted at the next following ses-
sion.
The pet argument of those clubs
who are outside the boundaries that
would include those cities between
which the teams can travel with a
minimum cost will be brought for
ward in favor of pooling the mileage
of all the clubs. Wednesday the UNI
piring staff will also be announced by
vfce-President Dan O'Nei1, who will
preside at the meeting.

Young Rector After
Bout With McAuliffe
Before Local Audience

The following is from the trusty
typewriter of Fred DeLorme, manag-
er of Young Rector:
'tNow~~that Young ATcAuEffe, your
1oca1kf champion, has en-
tire1y recovered from his attack of i'll
ness, I am going to herewith renew
the challenge that was extended to
him some six weeks ago by Young
Rector of Jersey City, and which ul-
timately resulted in the boys being
matched at the East End club. The
result of that match still is Unan-
sweredA through the unttmely illness
that overlook NIcAuliffe and prevent
ed him from meeting Rector. Now
that Mac is well again, L am going
to give him that chance to prove to
the fans that he really is anxious to
fn1ingle with my boy.
AS everyone knows, Rector took
Johnny Drummie as a. substitute
for Mac and the fight resulted in a
great battle both of boxing and wits.
AS both boys have met on three other
occasions and each time Rector met
Drumnie he gave away from four to
nine pounds to Fitgerald's battIer, he
really did not get the credit he de-
served.
No one realized that Rector, a real
featherweight. was boxing a genuine
lightweight that night, to go through
with his end, also that Drummie lost
a forfeit on weight as he weighed
131 at O'Clock to Rectors 127 and at
ring time it was a good bet that he
had at least six pounds on my boy.
Now if McAuliffe was sincere in
making that match with Rector, I viii
very gladly accommodate him by let
ting go through with his previous con
tract, to box Rector any number OF
rounds at 1875 pounds at 8 o'clock
Now Mac, here's your chance to prove
you are really sincere, by accepting
this def, and show the Bridgeport
fans you were feal1y i'll when you fail
ed to meet Rector. This challenge
goes for any featherweight in the
world, and am willing to give Nc
Auliffe first crack at my battler.

YALE BALL TEAM
IN FIRST OUTDOOR
DRILL OF SEASON

New Haven, April 3,--Coach Lauder
took the Yale baseball squad to 1ale
field for a thorough-work-out Satur-
day afternoon and in order that the
diamond might not be damaged IN us
present soggy condition he led ms
charges out back of the scoreboaros
where they chased flies and scooped
gTounders on the grass. The first out
door workout was characterized by a
prolonged session of batting.
G. T. Mullennix, one of the most
promising of the ineligible pitchers IN
college, was the victim of nervous
breakdown yesterday and it IS the
doctors opinion that twill be neces-
sary for him to return to his home IN
Virei-.- until next fall, when he Will
again resume his studies. MullinneX
had been requested to report for early
fall practice for the football squad as
well as the spring practice which viii
begin May 1. He intends to leave tine
latter part of this week.
Dudley Nudge, varsity catcher OF
two years ago, who left college some
time ago on account of illness, will re
turn in the near future. He was taken
with a slight attack of p1eurisy but
has almost recovered outdoor practice
will continue, weather permitting, and
thu coach hopes to have his men in
the diamond by tomorrow.

WILL WELSH GIVE
LEONARD CHANCE
IN LONGER FIGHT

New York, April 3-That the Box
ing Commission was indicated in al
lowing the Wil1ard-Nforan bout to be,
staged was evidenced in the receipts
at local clubs last week. The financial
index is, after all, the most reliable
one in such cases. The big bout
aroused new interest in the game and
gave boxing a big boost all along the
line, for all shows last week were
crowded.
The defeat of Freddy Welsh by
Benny Leonard is bound to give inter
est in boxing additional vigor. There
lowers of the sport whether Welsh
will yield to- public demand and give
Leonard match over a longer route
and to a decision for the title. The
vast majority of those who saw last
Friday nights bout cannot be per-
suaded that Welsh would stand a
chance with the local lightweight if
they bixed Is or 20 rounds, with a
referees verdict.
Ten rounds is WeIsh's best distance
and he was whipped to a. standstill
over that route. Freddy is no spring
chicken, and after 10 rounds he is
bound to come down from his toes and
box fiat footed. 1t was noticed last
Friday that il, the last two sessions he
looked mighty fatigued and his efforts
to keep on his toes were apparently
forced. Freddy. was in pretty good
condition, too, scaling at a little more
than 1876 pounds.
The longer the distance the 20 year
old Leonard will have to go against
30-year-o1d Welsh, the less chance
will Freddy stand. And Harry Pol
lock knows that better than anybody
else.

IKE BERNSTEIN
SUCCESSOR TO GREAT
MIKE MURPHY

The many athletes throughout
the United States mourned the loss
of Mike Murphy, who without a
doubt was the greatest conditioner
of men for athletic sports this or
any other country ever saw. When
Murphy was taken away by the
grim reaper no person could be
mentioned who would take his
place and every man in the sport
ing world mourned. But there is
another man who has stepped into
the shoes of the great trainer, and
that man is Ike Bernstein of Chi
cago, who has developed more
prominent candidates for athletic
fields than any man at present in
the business.
Professor Bernstein is at pres
ent in business in Chicago where
his clientele is very large. Among
some of his athletic positions can
be mentioned University Of Wis
consin and University of Indiana
where he handled the athletes OF
these two great universities for
several years. He also had in
charge Packy Mcfarland and.
Charley White for a long time.

after either to tie or, overcome that.
lead.
No attempt has been made to cover
in the foregoing all of the many stu
ations that present themselves to the
scorer in games where pitchers are
changed. In isolated cases the appli-
cation of these rules may work hard
ships to onep itcher or the other; but
on the seasons play, coupled with
your good Judgment, results following
observance of these rules should prove
as satisfactory as they have for pears
past.
The following rules and suggestions
are submitted for your guidance in
determining runs earned off the
pitcher:
An earned run shall be scored
every time the player reaches home
(before fielding. chances have been Of
,fered to retire the side) by the aid of
1. Base hits.
2. Sacrifice hits.
3. stolen bases
4. Bases on balls.
5. Hit batsmen.
+. Wild pitches
z. Balks.
The intent of the rule is to include
the heading of earned runs all the
factors that produce runs for which
the pitcher is chiefly responsible.
Use your best judgment where diff
ferences of opinion arise regarding
earned runs, particularly when one
pitcher substitutes for another. Give
the pitcher the benefit of doubt on
fielding errors, and in determining the
base to which a runner should have
been \he1d with perfect support on
part of he1ders.
An error made by pitcher is the
| same as though made by any other
| fielder. and should not be charged
| against the pitchers earned run
record.
No run can be armed that scores
as result of batsman having reached
first on a fielding error or passed ball.
No run can be earned latter the
fielding side has missed a chance or
chances to retire the side.
| Following are examples, presurning
that perfest play has preceded the
plays outlined:
| Before two are out-runners on
third and first; outfieIder drops fly
| ball, but RECEIVERS and forces man at
second, the run scoring on play Do
| not score run as earned on that par
ticu1ar play if the fielder had an easy
| throw to head off run at plate.
| Before two are out-Smith base on
/ balls; would have been forced out at
second but for error on Browns
grounder to short; Wilson triples.
| Only Browns run earned,\ as Smith
should have been out.
None out-Smith hit by pitcher; to
second on an out; to third on wild
pitch; scores on another out. Earned
| run. ~
Before two out-smith singles:
steals second; should have been out
at third but for an error; Brown hits
home run. Only last run earned.
| Smith first on balls; second on
] Brown being hit; two more bases on
balls force Smith home. Earned run
None out-Smith singles; Brown
| sacrifices; Smith scores when third
baseman makes error Wilson's
| grounder; Green doubles. Smiths
run becomes an earned run, as he
would have scored from second on hit
without help of the error.
| In cases where runner advances az
result of poor judgmement by fielder
| but where no actual fielding error /.
made, the same must be scored a.
perfect play. ERRORS and paased=ball.
