and white flowers. The ball room and
the rest of the house were lighted with
candles in accord with the holiday
time, and the candles were shaded with
red. Everywhere were suggestions of
th9 Christmas tide, all prettily inter
woven into the decorations.
The gowns worn were fresh and at
tractive, r'qny of them especially or

Gianunzio, the Italian accordian
player who IS to be one Of the star at
fractions of the society circus, played
two numbers for Miss Dewey's Friday
night dancing class. Those who heard
him were delighted with his music.
His instrument which is quite as far
away, both in price and tone products,
from the ordinary street player S con-
certina, as tin Chri tmas horn is from
the polished cornet of a distinguished
artist, was surprise to those who
were not previously acquainted with
the sweetness and expressiveness Of
the often ridiculed accordian. It is
said to have made very good dance

PICK BILL BROWN
TO REFEREE REICH
AND FULTON BOUT


New York, April 26.-zwhen it came
to pulling straws for a referee to do
the honors after Fred Fulton and Al
Reich enter the ring in the Stadium A..
c. on Friday might, Johnny Mack. the
chap who is supposed to be the man
from Egypt's'' rfght-hand lad, won a
victory. Johnny wanted Bill Brown
to be the third man in the ring, and
last evening Fred Wenck. chairman
of the Boxing Commission, said the
decision went to the financial backer
OF the bout. Some one was cruel
enough to remark that it was the first
win Mack ever scored, but Johnny has
had the nitts on himself and he was
no slouch.
The selection Of Brown was a good
one, as Bill is one of the most cool
headed men in the ring. He proved
this when he stopped the first Coffey-
ran bout in the Garden. And he
has proven it in many other instances

GIANTS GET FINE
GRIP ON 9TH PLACE
BY BOSTON DEFEAT

Boston, April 26-The. Giants add
ed another defeat to their fast grow
ing collection here yesterday after
noon, losing their first game of the
season in Beanborough by to 1.
The fact that Dick Rudolph, let go by
McGraw as being too light, infhct-
ed the defeat on the Giants did not
make the defeat any sweSter for the
Giants little leader.
In fact MeGraw kicked over the
traces and was banished for the first
argument with Bill KLEIN, in the sew
enth inning, and was ordered off
the third base coaching lines, and
then off the field. KLEIN did not en-
joy McGrawss conversation.
Rudolph permitted only four. hits,
three of them counting in the first
inning, when the Giants scored their
lone run. After the first round
Kauff's double opening the sixth in
ny also drew a pass and was the only
Giant who seemed to be able to get
around.
Bill sMcKechnie, the former mana
ger of the Newark Federals, contin-
ued his disappointing work yesterday,
going to bat four times without a
hit and tanning twice in the pinch.
McKechnie has now taken part in
five full games without making a hit
Larry Doyle, National League bat
ting champion in 1915, also has gone
three successive days without hit.
Pol Perritt pitched six innings for
the Giants and did very nicely. He
permitted six hits and two runs in
six innings Schauer allowed only
one hit in two innings. The run
scored off RUDE was not earned

LUCKY JACK BARRY.

Lucky Jack Barry will receive the
congratulations of his red-hosed team
mates today, the occasion being his
tWenty-ninth birthday Jack was
born in Meriden, April IS, 1887, and
got his baseball start at Holy Cross
College. Connie Mack nabbed him in
1908, and he was one of the stars of
the famous infield of the Athletics un-
til his sale to the Boston Red Sox last
July. Lucky Jack may not be as well
advertised as some other diamond
stars. but he certainly is a bear at
collecting the long green. Jack has
figured in five worlds series. and,
while he has never been the exalted
hero of any such occasion, he has
amassed a total OF $14, $40 from his
autumnaI exercise. Last October
Barry got $685. as his share of the
swag, and he expects that it will be a
little bigger next October.

FOR BRIDGET OFT

! Two real players were dlscoVered ny

afternoon in the final game OF the
kseries with Toronto. Thompson, the
first baselnan sent here by the New
ark club was the most pleasing sur
prise This youngster towers about
six feet three inches toward the ze
NTH He is a trif1e awkward in foot
work around the bag but is sure on
thrown balls and because of his great
height makes a fine target for the
other infielders to throw at. At the
bat Thompson looks like natura
slugger. He stands right UP there and
takes his ''Moriarity'' as the players
say. In the four innings he played
Thompson was up twice and secured
two slashing hits. On the bases the
big fellow takes such a long stride
that he will be difficult man to stop
when he starts around the paths.
The other find is Pitcher Gearlinger
a mammoth right handler from Phil
ade1phia. He is only a boy but is,
built like Ray Keating. He has a good
fast ball and a deceptive curve. Gear
tain that he will be a star with more
experience. In the four innings he
worked he gave Toronto four hits and
two runs. One of the runs was due

Martin Walsh made his 1916 debut

only two safe blows and one run. At
this stage it might be mentioned that
Toronto won the pastine by 8 to 1.
Edwards, and Byrne of Bridgeport
continued to perform well. The little
outf1efder collected two raps and
Byrne had one. Gaudette, an out
fielder from the Colonial league, was
tried in the later part of the game but
didn't have much chance to show his
samples.
Toronto used two pitchers. Herbert,
drafted last year by the Giants, off,
ciated six innings and was tapped for
one run Nand four safeties. Lyons,
youn ester from the Canadian league,
gave Bridgeport three hits in the last
three rounds The score:

Boston Writers Kept
Quiet on Fights Of s
Braves Last Season
Cworcester Posto

Owing to the methods employed by
the Hub scribes. who by the way
might be regarded as the fairest and
most broad minded lads in the coun-
try, the Braves forgot themselves ana
went to the extremes last season.
Time and again many of the scrlbes
passed up an opportunity or wrlting
q nasty story. rather than get any of
the players In .sbad" with the fans.
The players in the Hub should re-
alize this and get busy and forget TINS
fight stuff. No one heard OF the Phfi-
lies killing and Giants other than the
Gotham nine last year. yet they won
a nennant with their peaceful ma
chine. The Athletics were the mild
est lads on the diamond when they
were winning remnants, and the Red
sox are classed as one of the best be-
haved teams in the country ana they
won a pennant.

FARMS
OUT 3 RECRUITS
TO MINOR CLUBS

Boston, Mass, April 26-The days
of Fred Brainard as a Giant have
come to an end. 1t was learned last
might that Manager McGraw has un-
conditionally released the young in
k6elder to the Providence club of the
International league. Brainard will
report to Dave Shean, manager of
the Grays, at once, as the Interna-
tionaPs season opens today and Thurs
day. Brainard, a graduate of the
Texas league, Joined the Giants in
1914 and has been used at various
times in every position in the inffeld.
The youngsfer tried hard to make
good, but fell short and McGraw be-
came convinced that he lacked big
league quality.
Freds greatest chance to make
q name for himself came at the start
of the present season, barely two
weeks ago. With the team braced
by. the addition of Kauff, Roush, An
derson and Rariden, the Giants were
conceded to be a pennant prospect, in
the event that John Lobert could
come back, and plug the gap at
/ third base. And then, IN the game
with Yale the day before. the opening
of the season, Lobert again injured
his knee and dropped by the way
side.
sr With young Hunter,i a prospective
third baseman; also on the hospital
list. McGra.w turned to Brainard for
a solution of the problem. He put
Fred on the far corner, and Brain
ard, with the chance Of a lifetime to
make good, failed in the pinch. His
fielding was ragged and rs batting
not up to the standard, so that Nc
Graw was forced3to send for Bill Nc
Kechnie and supplant the ,erratic
young man from New Mexico.
Brainard ought to go well in Provi-
dence. ,Overanxiety and a. tendency
TO allow response bility to weigh too
heavily on his shoulders seem to be
his chief trouble, as he has a. lot of
natural ability.
MeGraw took another step toward
cutting his squad down to the FL play
err limit by unconditiona11y. releasing
Bill Martin infelder, and Eddie Har-
fison. out1elder. He is now trying
to place them with "a Class A A club.
Martin, who came to the Giants
from the Braves, whom he was with
in 1914 and 1915, was a Georget own
University star. and showed up well
at Marlin this spring When the
squad started north McGEaw placed
him in charge of the second team.
Martin broke a finger on his right
hand just before leaving the training
camp, and only recently resumed play
ing.
Harrison "a product of the Everett,
Mass, Htgh school, was first 4z cI1ed up
by the Giants in 1914 He was farm
ed out to Dallas in the Texas league
for the past two seasons.

DIV Wagner.l

The Bridgeport club closed negotia-
tons this morning for the purchase
of Neal Ball from the Toronto Inter
national league club. He will be
manager of the local team and play
second base. The price was not given
out but it was admitted that the Tor
onto club demanded and received an
option on any Bridgeport player at the
end of the season.
The Toronto owner said he valued
Ball at $4,000, because he could not
buy a big league player to replace
him for less than that sum. In or
der to secure him Owners Cornen and
Knorr of the local club had to pay a
large sum in cash in addition to the
option. It is understood they gave
Toronto $500.
Although he is a Bridgeport resi-
dent, Ball has never played here. He
made his reputation in the American
league where he played with New
York. Boston ana Cleveland. He was
a member of the Boston club in 1912,
when the, Red Sox won the Champion
ship and the worlds series. In Cleve-
land he was presented with a loving
cup for making a triple play unassist-
ed.
Ball is a hustling player a good
hitter and accurate fielder Although
he is badly handicapped by taking the
job only a few days before the season
opens, he declares he will have a
strong club before the season is well
under way. He has some good ma
terial and only needs two or three
players to make. a first division club.
Ball will take charge of the team at
once and will play in the opening
game.
All preparations have been comp1et-
ed for the coming opening of the
Eastern league in this city Friday af-
ternoon. Mayor Wilson has agreed to
pitch the first ball and there will beia
street parade before the game. The
parade viii start from the Atlantic
hotel at. 1870 p, m. Mayor Wilson, one
of%the Bridgeport magnates and Man
ager Ball will ride In an automobile
right behind the Wheeler 81 Wilson
band, which will furnish snappy airs
for the occasion. The players of the
Bridgeport and Lowell clubs will be
shown to the populace as they ride be-
hind the mayors car.
The lowell club, which is the open
mig attraction here, is one OF the
strongest in the league. Harry Lord,
former Boston and Chicago American
league star, is manager. He has gath
cred fast aggregation. Bridgeport
hopes to have some new infe1ders
