Loss of Clarke and
Locke Placed Pirates
In Present Condition

Affairs on the Pittsburgh club are
just about as unsettled as conditions in
Russia, says Jin1y Isaminger in the
Philadelphia North American, who
adds: The once powerful, smooth
working machine now knocks like the
motor of 1905 auto.
The wearing of Fred Clarke as
player, the loss Of Will Locke, who
left the Pirates to purchase the Phil
lies and the retirement of Hans Wag-
ner following a disagreement over
salary, are three blows from which
Barney Dreyfuss will have trouble in
recovering.
Will Locke was the great gobe-
tween. It was he who transmitted
orders from Dreyfuss to Clarke. So
shrewd and capable was Locke that he
was always forestalling storms. Drey-
fuss kept in the background, leaving
Locke the visible factotum of the exec
utive department of the club. Locke
was master in his role, and Drey-
fuss missed him greater than anybody
knows when he quit to buy the Phil
lies.

Mike Met ornack, Old
New Haven Star, to
Be Scout for Cubs

: New Haven, June mike McCor-
mack, former. New Haven second
lbaseman and for years one of the real
brilliants of the old Connecticut
league, has been appointed scout for
the Chicago club of the National
league, according to information re-
ceived yesterday. Mccormack re-
ceived the appointment during the
course of conference with Manager
Fred Mitchell of the CuIbs in New
York last week. McCormack's APP
pointment becomes effective at once
and he will start Immediately to comb
the bushes in search of promising
young talent.
The appointment OF Mccormack will
come as no surprise to his many
friends in this city. Mccormack bears
the reputation of being a fine judge
of ball players and one who under
stands the game from A to II. Nc
Cornack's last professional engage
ment was with the New Haven club
in 1914
Mccormack first made the acquaint-
ance of Manager Mitchell back in 1904
when both were members OF the
Brooklyn club of the National. league.
Mccormack, known as Kid, played
third has and topped every rival in
the circuit in the fielding averages
that year. His closest rival was Tom-
my Leach of the Pittsburgh club.

OTTO MILLER OF

GREAT BACKSTOP

Otto L. Miller, the big catcher of the
Brooklyn club from 1910. was born
in Mindep, Nebraska, June 1, 1889.
and encountered his first professional
baseball experience with the Sharon,
O.. and p. league club in 1908. He
was drafted from Sharon by the Louis
Vile American Association. team the
next year but was not quite up to the
standard expected Of him, SO was let
out to Duluth where he finished the
season behind the plate with great
credit to himself and with. a batting
average of just a few points below.

It was not until 1912 that he be-

Trolley Car Dodgers, as he appears to
have received in 90 contests during
that season. Meanwhile his hitting

1914 he boosted it to two points higher
in 104 games.
Those two seasons were his best, but

EXPLAINS
WHY He DID NOT
COUNT FOR WELSH

New York, June kid McPart-
land, the man who refereed the bout
between Freddie Welsh and Benny
Leonard which ended so dramatically
in the ninth round Monday flight, de-
clares that his action in stopping the
bout was the only possible, thing to
do.
welsh has no claim on the cham
pionship now" said Mcfarland. HE
and his manager should have been
the first to come forward and thank
me for acting as I did. Another blow
might have ended Welsh's life. Rules
or no rules, I did the only thing left
to me. The first rule of all, and
the one that every referee in the
world is guided by in a ring contest,
is the one of common sense and hu-
mainly. Rule 8 Of the revised Lon
don Prize Ring Rules says:
The referee shall have the power
to stop the contest If in his opinion
a man is unfit to continue and that
shall be deemedfSo have lost the con-
test The Marquis of Queensberry
Rules were drafted from the London
Prize Ring Rules, and whether this
eighth rule is written in the state
rules or not it is the rule that guides
every third man in the ring. Welsh
was absolutely out on the ropes.
Pollok, his manager, contends that
broke the fifth rule in the Queens
berry set, which says that a man on
the ropes with his toes off the floor
shall be considered down. Being
down, then naturally he is entitled to
a count. Now I was closer to the
champion, old and new, than any man
in the house. My eye was on every
thing. I know that Welsh's toes were
NOT off the floor. If Pollok saw
them off the floor he perceived more
than any man in the mouse, IL wager
that he was looking anywhere but at
Welsh's toes.
"It would have been crime to
have allowed the youthful Leonard to
strike Welsh in his helpless condition.
I was in command, and that was my
judgment I realized that Welsh was
through, and also that there might
be some question about my stopping
it without his being on the floor.
"Welsh was using the ropes to keep
himself ON his feet. Right there he
was breaking the rules. I knew that
he couldn't stand without holding on
to them, SO I pulled him loose from
them. I knew he would clutch for
the first thing possible. He came
for me, stepped aside and he tot
tered across the ring and fell on his
face. I
"My action wasn't the first of its
kind Battling Nelson lost his title
to Wolgast in just the same way. In
the fortieth round Nelson walked out
from his corner with both eyes clos
ed tight from the previous punish
ment He paved around trying to
see Wolgast, and Eddie Smith, the
referee, promptly stopped the bout
! without count, mind you, and
awarded the title to Wolgast. HUI
mainly is the first rules though it may
not be written into the books.
Leonard won fairly and Clearly
He is the champion"

MONDAY NIGHT

Terry Lee las been engaged to
referee the big bouts which will be
held next Monday night at the Casino
under the auspice Of the Union Boat
ing club. Lee haa, officiated in all the
shows held recently in this city and
has always pleased the fans by his
work. He keeps the boxers hustling
every minute.
1t is not probable ,hat Lee will have
to- speak harsllly to Young McAuliffe
or K. o. Eggers, who will clash in the
main bout of IL rounds Those boys
are aggressive by natl re and will mix
it up from the first teIl to the last.
Eggers packs a healthy punch which
iMcAuliffe must keep away from if he
does not care to hit the floor. McAu-
life is full of pepper after. his long
layout. He hopes to make a better
showing against Eggers than Frankie
Burns did.

BATTING OF LEAR

In King Lear, Bridgeport seems tc
have picked up one of the best hit

knocking i'll two runs and scoring
twice himself. Lear has developed
into a good third baseman, too. AL
though he makes an occasional error
he atones for it by turning in won
derful stops at times. In the ninth
yesterday he grabbed Weiders hot
smash and nailed the Hartford short
stop at first.
Gingras is also making himself pop
u1ar by his recent improvement. AT
ter beating Springfield on Sunday he
went against Hartford yesterday and
trimmed the Senators by 6 to 2. Gin
gras had his usual assortment Of stuff
and what is more to the point he had
control He issued only two passes
and famed five. Ryan, who oficiat-
ed for Hartford, allowed six hits, the
same number as Gingras gave Hart
ford. The Americans punched their
drives, though, and the Senators did
not.
: ,Corcoran, was another Bridgeport
err who slammed the ball. The
stocky tight fielder got a two bag
ger and single. Guy linn aroused
the crowd when he raced nearly to
second in the seventh and caught
CAROLS fly. Johnny Prieste's stop
of O'Conn ,lrs torrid grounder was
also a mast erpiece.
The locals got their first run in the
third on LIE ar's single and Gingras'
triple. In the sixth Prieste and

Boston Writer Says
Darcy Did Not Receive
Square Deal in u. S.

Les Darcy is tucked away, but let
none have as grieving life as Darcy
had just before his end. says the Bos-
ton Traveller.
A Stacker? Well, perhaps he was
but above that, in our way of think
ing, is the question: Did he get a
square deal here? The world knows
America has always meant Fairness
Did it to Darcy? Opinions will always
differ.
If Darcy was not sincere in his
statements that he came here to
make his little pile to care for de-
pendent relatives, and then return
and fight for his country, he deserves
but little sympathy. Heaven knows
he didn't get much.
But here is the point that we can
not forget. State executives here,
there and everywhere, since he land
ed, ruled against him as a slack
err.
Why was Darcy singled out? Mere,
ly because he came over at time
when he was in the glare of the pub.

LEONARD FAVORS
MEETING KILBANE
IN OHIO JULY A

New York, June Billy Gibson,
manager of Benny Leonard, new
worlds lightweight champion, last
night said that Matt Hinkel, the
Cleveland promoter, has made a fine
offer for Leonard's services in a
match with Johnny Kilbane. I'm
less there is a favorable outlook for
an open air match between thu two
champions in this vicinity about July
4. Gibson is favorably inclined to ac-
cept HinkePs offer for contest in
the west. Gibson strongly favors an
open air bout here, as he feels con-
fident the contest --ould break all rec
ords for attendance.
In view of the fact that Kilbane
tried to get WeIsh's title, hut succeed
ed only IN outpointing him, while
Leonard stopped the Briton, the ri
valry between the present cham
pion and the CIevelander is very
keen.

TY COBB ESCAPES
iEERS OF YANKEE
FANS IN new YORK

New York. June THE Yankees
played yesterday as If they were
numb. If they were rney were excus-
ahl-s Tor the weather which awaited
shem on tnei- home coming from the
West and intermediate points was
chilly and drear. The weather was
chill and drear and the playing of
the Yanks was tame and tintless The
Detroits shut them out, 2 to o, the
vfctors hitting more crisply than the
Yanks and putting more life in heir
game.
( Willie Mitchell pitched a fine game
for the Detroits, and that's where the
Yanks met the chief cause of their
defeat. The New York batters let
good balls fit by unmolested, offered
at bad ones, lunged and missed a drop
which the Detroiter employed to ex-
celt effect and swung vapidy at balls
which were well within the hittable
plane.
The southpaw Tiger pitched better
than did Slim Caldwell, though Slim
scattered the hostile bashing and was
never anything approaching a sine
cure. He helped beat himself with
his bases on balls. Two of these were
strewn around in innings which con-
tanned hit or two and sacrifices.
The home folks looked on a new
Yankee outfield. Elmer Miller and
Tim Hendyrx have come into the
Jmelight since the team was here be-
ss~a and Lee Magee. whose slump
aak had him ON the bench, was in
centre again He made HIT and
that was doing pretty well against
Mitchell. Miller showed fine speed
and territorial range and made a hit,
but he, threw away a run. He threw
it away by poor base running. He
could have slid and scored in one
inning. but thoughtlessly came in
erect and in that dignified attitude
was an easy mark for touching.
AS TO Ty Cobb and the Herzog-
Cobb affair. in which the Georgia
Michigan product appeared to poor
advantage and lost more or less
standing as a high minded adversary.
spectators guyed him a little, but
only little The general attitude
seemed to be one of indifference to-
ward Cobb, as If he was an object
of no particular interest and as If he
was just member of the Detroit ball
team, There was nothing to indicate
that the fans though he was per-
sonage. Some, maybe, didn't know
who he was, or care.
