YANKEES PLAY
POORLY AGAINST
BOSTON TEAM

Fayetteville, N c.. April "a see
i saw, long-drawn-out, and poorly play
ed game took place yesterday between
the Yankees and the Braves. The
! Yankees, though they hit hard
enough to win easily and had oppor-
runities enough to win still more cas-
| lily, were beaten. The score was to
3, and the Braves lead in the series,
! three games to two.
The Yankees did enough poor play
/ ing to offset their superior hitting.
Their baserunning was disappointing;
they were weak with the stick in
pinches; their attempts to sacrifice
were costly fizzles when ability to adj
vance runners would have been pro-
! fitable, and in addition Love took a
fatal flight into the air. The Yankees
were weak against the southpaws
which Stallings persists in putting
against them, but they pounded the
;right-handers to a pulp. They drove
Crum out Of the box in the seventh
inning and took the lead.
High, walked, Maisel and Pipp
singled, Baker fouled flabbily, and
Magee singled. Two runs were in and
more were near when Peck hit into a
uOuDl0 play, WHICH, Was Ouc VI
erous New York opportunities not uti-
nzed. Love struck the first man out
in the seventh. but then spilled bases
on balls all over the place. He passed
four men in succession. These, with
a sacrifice fly, produced two runs, a
sufficient addition to previous incre-
ment to win the game.
Love pitched fourteen balls in sue
cession without getting one over the
plate. Apparently he was ratified by
the noisy and unsportsmanlike coach
ing OF Fitzpatrick Of Boston, who may
be valuable to his team in that partic-
ular, though not edifying, line Of en-
deavor.
Love did capitally except for this
lapse; and Percy earlier in the game
did fairly well. Pipp did some fine
hitting. He raped out four singles
in succession, one off a. left-hander..

BROOKLYN BLOWS
UP and RED SOX
CAPTURE CONTEST

Davenport, Ia, April 3-Playing
the same ragged ball that brought
them severe censure last October.
the Brooklyn Dodgers lost their third
straight game to the Boston Red Sox
here yesterday afternoon. The score
was to 1. The series now stands 4
to 3 in Boston's favor. The game was
played under bright skies but with
the mercury flirting with the S3-de-
gree mark. The tourists will play In
Peoria, Ill, today. Z
Dutch Leonard, one Of the star
southpaws OF the Boston team, was
assigned to the hurting hill for the
first time this season and because
,of his presence, Manager Robinson
took from his lineup lack Wheat
and Jake Daubert, his two hardest
hitters, and substituted Hickman and
Merkle. The result was that against
the combined lefthand offerings of
Leonard, Ruth and Pennock, the
Robins were able to. manufacture one
lonesome run, which came in the first
inning when Johnston singled and
Merkle doubled.
Thereafter the Dodgers were an
fmpotent crowd before the wizardry
OF Leonard and Ruth. They made
put two hits against the former in
the first three sessions and as many
against Ruth in four inings. AS in
the world series last fall. the defense
OF the Dodgers cracked wide open.
Olson, at third, played a wretched
game, making two wild heaves to first
base.
The game was interesting for four
innings, at the end OF which time
the score was tied at to. 1. But In
the fifth Wheezer Dell, as is his Gus
tom, suddenly lost effectiveness and
base on balls, two hits and an error
gave the Sox threee tallies, quite suf-
ficient for their purpose.
Jimmy Hickman, who aspires for a
place in the Dodger outfield, played
fancy game. He made one of the
Two hits on Ruth double to left
centre and made the fielding feature
OF the contest when he threw Gill ont
at third from deep rightfield.

JACK RANDALL GREAT
PUGILIST IN ENGLAND
100 YEARS AGO TODAY

This year marks the centennial of
several of the big bouts in which
Jack Randall, the original "Non-
pareir' and the greatest middleweight
of the early period Of the ring, de-
Tended his laurels. Just LOO years
ago today Randall whipped West
Deck in a little more than half an
hour Of fighting. Before the close
of the year he had also defeated Holt,
Belasco and Parrish, three of the
most noted contenders for the mid
dleweight crown, and in 1913 he beat
the greatest Of his rivals, New Turner.
Randall wanted to fight for the
heavyweight championship, but his
proposals were greeted with laughter,
and it was not until years later that
Englishmen discovered that a good
little man could beat a big one who
was only fair. According to all ac-
counts, Randall, who was born in
England, but of Irish parentage, was
one of the greatest fighters OF all time,
and we'll deserved the title Of ''Non-
pareil" He was about five and a
half feet in height and weighed $50
pounds in his prime. He was never
whipped, and retired in 1921 with his
honors untarnished.
