WILL YANKEES
SEND HIGH TO
MINORS AGAIN

Macon, Ca, March Eft resemb1ed
promotion day IN country school
here yesterday. The class OF young
bushers who have been members of
Bin Donovan's advanced class in base
ban during the past month sat around
/ the verdict We're they promoted, or
did they get left back? That was the
momentous question
The only Official announcement
made by the club was that Ed Sweeney
has been sent to Toledo. The writer
knows that Pitchers Tpp1e, Pieh,
Brady Vance, Ross and possibly BIod-
gett will be released. Donovan says
Pat Moran never would waive on Cliff
1Garf1e, and for the present Cliffs job
looks secure. Mark1e looks very good.

a tip which was passed around yes

would be sent either to Baltimore or
Richmond seems hard to believe, az
High looked like too good a man to

E4strengthen any team However, Dom
ovan recently said he would leave
here with six outde1ders, and if Miller
VIII be kept High may be released.
Ff11at may be the big surprise Huston
was talking about the other day.

KAUFF MEETS y
COBB TO-DAY IN
( TEXAS CONTEST

Marlin, Tex, March 24-Tyrus Ray
mond Cobb of Royson, Ca, and Benny
Kauff of Indianapolis, tho Bronx
Brooklyn and other parts, meet on
the diamond today at Emerson park
in this township, and if the weather
man be in the same genial mood as
he has been during the past fortnight,
the fences around the ball park will
bulge trying to accommodate the
crowd.
The game is the sole topic Of con-
versation among the fans for miles
and drawing powers of both men, have
announced excursion rates to and
from Marlin for the day.
Ka1lff rested on his bats last night.
He selected a dozen, going over them
carefully, looking for flaws and crew
ices through which the ball might
possibly escape his mighty Iunges. He
had Ed Macka1 lock them up in a
special bag to prevent possible van
dalisn. He oiled his glove and ground
down his spikes.
Many a, time and oft when the good
fans sat about the hot stove in the
Winter League, Benny has told with
great gusto how he would make Cobb
look like a boob.
The fans regret keenly that this
battle will not be fought out ON the
field at Marlin. Two games will be
played at Dallas. one at Waxaha.cl1ie
and another at Houston With the
two most widely advertised ball play
ers in the game opposed to each
other, some stirring deeds may be ex-
pected.

FOOTBALL GAMES
NOT FOR PUBLIC, IS
LATEST YALE CRY

The Yale Daily News announced in
an editorial yesterday that the mem
bers of the Yale football team would
not wear numbers in games played
next fall The News asserted that
s:the plea and not infrequently the de-
mand for numbering players has come
from sporting editors who have been
actuated in their requests principally
because such system would be very
much to their advantage in reporting
the games
stOf course better, in the sense of
more accurate not of wider, publicity
should be given to all forms of college
athletics, but let US not forget that
games are played for the college, not
for the sporting editors; for Yale and
not for the general public.
From the practical point of view,
moreover, as Captain Black has said,
if the spectators of a football game
are not interested enough to learn who
the players are without their being
numbered, they will not be interested
enough to learn who the players are
when they are numbered -

RECEIPTS FOR
BIG BOUT MAY
REACH $4,000

New York, March 24-It now seems
certain that the gate receipts of the
10-round bout between Jess Willard
Garden will exceed $4,000, and may
GO as high as $4,000.
Tt is reliably estimated that up to
the present time more than $4,000
worth of tickets have been sold. This
is certainly an ample vindication of
the Judgment of Tex Richard
Vivian he offered purse amounting
to $7A.25O for the match, supposedly
wise promoters sat back and smiled
pityingIy at what they considered his
foolishness.
Richard, however, has the great
quality of Imagination found in many
men high in the world of finance. It
has been said of him that where other
men think in quarters, he thinks in
hundred-dollar bills.
.Rickard has prom three boxing
bouts When Joe Cans met Battling
Nelson at Goldfe1d, Tex took in sea-
900 at the gate. The gate receipts of
the Jeffries-J ohnson contest were
$27O,OOO. Assuming that he sells
$175.OO0 worth of tickets for the pres
ent 1neatchy it means that R1ckard IN
three bouts. or Shows as he calls
them, will have taken in half a million
dollars at the gate.
The big receipts do not mean that
the promoters will make much money
out of this bout. In the first place the
state tax must be added to the purse,
and that will mean something over
$4,000 more to be deducted
The contract with the Garden is
said to call for a fiat price of $500,
but it can be stated on good authority
that the arrangement also calls for
big percentage on everything taken in
over 100000. The Show Corpora
ton, therefore, may get in the neigh
borhood of $4,000 or $4,000.
The cost of putting in the seats.
printing and handling the tickets
hiring the ushers and an endless num-
Der of incidentals must be figured in.
Still, although Richard and Nc
Cracker will make no fortune out OF
the match, they should emerge con-
siderablysseon the right side OF the
ledger. f

STAGE SET FOE Borr.

The stage is all set for the willard
Moran bout. Promoters have spoken
slightingly of vast sums of money, the
boxers have demanded everything in
sight and the public will pay the
freight as usual. A hotel man in
Chicago yesterday bet $4,000 to $1o,-
600 on Willard. Both boxers have
finished training and strange to say
EACH insists that he will win. Some
body of course is mistaken. Promoter
Tex Richard says the bout will posi-
lively start at $50. Come on, boys,
and start something.
Tony Wallace, former Holy Cross
pitcher, will be given a trial by
Springfield this season. He made a
great record while in college.
Second in interest to the Willard
Moran dispute is the duel between
Benny Kaun and Ty Cobb in. far off
Texas. What a1ibi will Benny offer if
Tyrus shows him up.
It was announced from the ring at
the Casino last night that Joe Egan
of Boston. who claims the welter-
weight title of New England, may
meet Silent Martin in the next local
show.
Captain Black of the Yale football
eleven shows the usual undergraduate
lack of judgment in his statement that
if the public didn't show enough in
without the aid of numbers they
wouldn't learn the names anyway 1t
never occurred to Captain Black,
probably that a Yale graduate, who
came from a great distance to see a
football game, wouldn't have a chance

PHILLIES LIKELY
TO REPEAT Squirt
IN PENNAaT RACE

The Phillies are different from this
time last year in that it is a, ship that
has found itself Last February the
team had been dis1nantled. There
was a new manager, players had been
snapped and the gang that dashed to
Dixie, including the manager him
self, was experimental and on proba-
ton, writes James 1sasmifiger in the
Philadelphia. North American.
The Pills entered the race pick
ed to finish last. But the fans didn't
know that they had a genius in charge
of the team. He soon mended the
weak spots. Hours of constant drill
down South gave him a, good pair OF
workers around the keystone sack. He
developed Bancroft into a star, and
coached Niehoff into a good rnechani-
cal second sacker, even if he never
was exactly flashy.
Moran did one thing that he never
received half the credit for doing.
That was taking a veteran as set in
his ways as Luderus and making him
change his style. Moran made him
try hitting the ball to left field, and
the move worked so well that the Mil
waukee man was only six points away
from being the batting champion Of
the league. He played the best ball
of his life, although when he finished
the season of 1914 the fans called him
deadwood and demanded his release.
Moreover, Moran kept his men at
fighting pitch all year, Milton Stock
and Oscar Dugey, the utility men, de-
cIared that they played more, baseball
than the regulars. Although never
figured to get in the game, they were
in concert shape all the time.
Late in the season, when the Phils
were battling hard to keep top,
Byrne was injured. He was out for
the rest of the season. Moran put the
well-dril1ed Stock at the corner, and
Byrne's absence was never noticed.
This was because Moran didn't let

out, all patrons got their seats and
praise was heard for the work of

AL REICH WINS FROM
perky FLYNN EASILY

New York. March 24-A1 Reich won
a decision over Dan ("Porky'') FLYNN
at the opening of the Stadium A. G.
and it was one of the best heavyweight
battles seen around here in many
moons.
Reich dropped Flynn twice in the
first round. The first time a right
hook sent Flynn for the count. When
he got up Reich chased after him and
again dropped him with a left hook.
Flynn came back strong in the second
round, and made a good fight the rest
of the way. HE was in danger of be-
ing knocked out in the tenth. but
few right uppercuts made Reich wary.

Narrative.

Valerie Vests horizon is bounded
by the walls Of the little apartment in
which she has for years attended
with ceaseless care her invalid mother
The girl acquires brilliant education
Il so far as the world of literature
and art is concerned, but knows moth
ing of the realities of the life that
surges up from the city streets be-
Meath her window.
On her mothers death Valerie is
lift penniless and is forced to seek
employment. She advertises for a
position as governess or secretary
but receiving no replies turns to the
theatre as an outlet for her artistic as
plrations. Disguised with her stage
experiences she seeks work as an ar
tst's model.
Fortunately for Valerie her first
encounter is with Louis Neville, a
painter Of brilliant reputation and a
thorough gentleman, the son of an old
and aristocratic New York family.
Neville is eager to find a model
suited in face and form of pose as the
central figure for q great mural dec

it to Neville who leaves in a rage for
Querida's home, but finds him gone.
Meanwhile Stephanie tells Neville's
parents of her visit to the models
apartments and of Valerie's promise
rot to marry Neville. Valerie's
charm and the suffering she has un-
dergone, softens Neville's parents to-
ward her and they realize she is not
the type of a girl they had thought.
Querida Meets His Death.
EARLY the next morning Valerie de-
cides to slip quietly from the house
She leaves note apologizing for her
Intrusion and thanking everyone for
their kindness. Stephanie shows
Neville the note and he leaves for
the city. Valerie and Rita return to
their city apartment and little later
Querida comes and apologies for his
actions of the day before, imploring
Valerie to becomes his wife. Driven
wild by her refusal Querida again at
tempts to embrace her. She pushes
him from her and Querida stumbles
against the low window-sill and falls
into space. He is brought into the
house in a dying condition. Neville
arrives at the apartment and the dy-
ing man begs his and Valerie's for
giveness, which is granted in scene
Of great pathos.
Valerie receives a letter from
Stephanie asking her to go to the
Neville home. She accepts the in
vitation and to her surprise and de-
light is welcomed by Neville's par
ents, who tell her that she has stilled
all their fears and that they will be
glad to receive her as their sons
wife.
That night it becomes the first of
June. It is nearly one O'Clock and
Neville is waiting in his studio Won
