MARATHON RACE
 IN BOSTON TODAY

Boston, April 1.-The American marathon race, generally regarded as the championship long distance run ming event of the country, was re- newed for the 21st year over the roads between Ashland and this city today Seventy runners from various parts of this country, Canada and Greece were entered, and more than LOG, GOO spec tators gathered along the 25 mile course.
 Officials of the Boston Athletic as- sociation were well satisfied with the condition of the roads, on which the dust was laid by light rain yesterday. The wind early in the day was gentle and variable, promising little interfer- ence with the runners.
 The field contained several runners believed to be capable, under favor able conditions, of bettering the rec ord for the event, hours, 21 minutes. IS 1-5 seconds, made by. Michael J.. Ryan of New York irf 1912 Among them were Hans Kolehmainen and Viller Kyronen, both of New York: Clarence H. De Mar and Arthur V. Roth, local runners, who won the event in 1911s and 1916 respectively: :: Hans Schuster, winner of the recent Bronx marathon; Edmond Martineau of Montreal and Michael J. Lynch of Washington, who finished ninth last year.

WILLARD TO SEE COFFEY VS. MORRIS
 BOUT ON MONDAY

New York, April 19-Reports from Jess Willard's headquarters indicate that he is taking an interest in affairs pugilistic. For long 1t has been imag- fined, and not without cause, that the
 heavyweight champion was not inter-
 ested any more in ring doings. It
 seemed as if the circus had claimed
 him for its own; that instead of hav- ing his boxing gloves padded with cotton he insisted upon sawdust be- ing used.
 Perhaps the awakening of Willard to the fact that in spite of his absence boxing is going on apace may be at- tributed to the fact that the circusing this season needs a stimulus so far as Willard's act is concerned.
 | Whatever the answer, it is reported that the champion is making arrange sments to be present at the ringside on Monday night at the Manhattan A. C., when Carl Morris and Jim Cof- fey meet in the ring. If Willard should attend there can be but one i deduction. He wants to get line on
 Morris, so that he will have a definite idea of just how good-or how bad Morris is In the event of his even-
 tuafly being primed for a match with
 the champion. There is nothing like fbeing prepared. And Willard is sair
 to advocate preparedness in all of it's many phases.

FRANK ERNE AND JOE
 HOPKINS HAD GREAT
 BATTLE IN OLD DAYS

Twenty years ago, on April 19, 1897, Frank Erne redeemed his repu- tation in his home city by defeating and completely outclassing Joe Hop kins in Is rounds fought in Buffalo. Earlier in the year Erne had been defeated by Martin Flaherty and by George Dixon in New York, and his reputation as the rising lightweight champion and most promising of the contenders for Kid Lavigne's title had been clouded thereby. Erne had not trained properly for the Flaherty aEd Dixon contests, but he was in good shape when he fought Hopkins.
 A little more than two years later Erne took the lightweight title from Lavigne in a Buffalo fight. Joe Hop kins, who played the role of van- quished in the battle of a score of years ago, was a good, rugged light weight, and at his best a dangerous man. Joe began to slip back after his fight with Erne, and was knocked out by Spike Sullivan, Oscar Gardner, and others.

SOUTH ATLANTIC IS / STARTING OUT TODAY

The South Atlantic leagues four teenth annual pennant race is sched- uIed to begin today, with six clubs lined up at the starting post. Like most of the minor circuits, the Sally league has had many vicissitudes in the last few years. Savannah, an old stronghold of Sally ball, dropped out after the conclusion of the 1915 sea- son. Montgomery, which had been kicked out of the Southern league. entered the league last year, but to- ward the close the Alabama capital, as well as Albany, Ga, was dropped The six clubs which finished last year Macon, Columbus and Augusta, Ga. Charleston and Columbia, s. G., and Jacksonville, Fla.-comprise the 1917 lineup For several years the Sally league has been addicted ito the split season habit, but the magnates' and fans have soured on that system, and this year the schedule falls for con- tinuous season of a hundred games.

ELM CITY YOUNG
 PITCHER RETURNS
 FROM CANAL ZONE

New Haven, April 19-Frank Woodward, star pitcher of the New Haven baseball club, returned to his home in this city yesterday after a successful season spent in the Panama Canal zone. / Woodward twirled in 20 games while away and turned in 13 victories. Thee limatic conditions seemed to suit Woodward as his arm didn't give him the least bit of trou- ble while away. Upon his return, Woodward hunted up President Col lins of the local club and affixed his signature to @ one-year contract. Woodward stated that he is in good great year.
 Manager Danny Murphy yesterday, the latter having returned from his scouting expedition. While away, Murphy got into touch with Connie Mack and Pat Moran, managers of the Athletics and Phillies. respect ively, who promised to send along a quartet of players for the local club. Murphy refused to divu1ge the names of the players but he stated that the fans will be surprised when their identity becomes known.
 President Collins has been notified by the Boston American league club that Mickey Devine, the former New Haven catcher, will be given a thor ough trial. Manager Jack Barry, 1t is understood, thinks highly of De- vine and indications are that New Haven will have to do without him this season. This means that the local club will have to get busy and sign a first class catcher as none of the present array appear heavy enough for regular backstop duty
 The New Haven club has augment ed it's ranks by signing an infielder named Billy White. White is reputed to be star third baseman, having had considerable experience. In 1915 he played with the Evansville club of the Central league. Last year he was member of the Lexington club of the Ohio State league until the cir cult threw in the sponge.

KAUFF WAITING
 FOR GOOD BALLS
 AND HITS BETTER

The New York Sun speaks as fol-
 lows about the improvement this year
 in the playing of Benny Kauff, the former Bridgeporter:
 "Veering a bit from the course at present being steered by the Tanks, accept a prophecy concerning the Giants in general and Benny Kauff in particular for the season just now beginning. It is nothing more or less portentious than that Benny the Wee will furnish a surprise this season
 with a radical departure from last season, in his stick work
 ''The prognostication is based on a single consideration. It is that this
 season Benny will draw more bases
 on balls than he did last year, and consequently that he will at the same
 time draw a decidedly better assort-
 ment of pitching from which to whale out base hits. The point is that | where as last season Benny was bang ing away at about everything the op- position chose to offer him, now he is bidinS his time and making the other fellows get them over for him. "A bit of tact and psychological
 suggestion on the part of John Nc Graw has changed Kauffs entire view
 on the art of batting. When Kauff
 came from the Feds he believed that
 he could hit anything pitched to him, whether high, low, inside or outside the plate. Sometimes he could and
 did. Frequently he made base hits
 on bad pitches. More often he went out on easy chances, swinging at pitches that should have served to put the opposing finger in a hole. '"This spring McGraw offered sug-
 gestions to Kauff that have changed his entire attitude. The Giant lead CT has deftly pointed out to Benny that there is just as much satisfaction for himself and quite as much profit for his club to work the opposing | pitcher for base on balls at an op- | perfume moment as there is in gath ering in a base hit. At the same time l he has shown Benny that in making | the pitcher get 'em over, he has re- duced materially the odds against him for connecting safely, by having the hurler put them where he wants | them.
 | ''The change became apparent in
 the ante season series with the Tigers and is daily looming larger in regular 1 league games. Now Benny is fully
 as much concerned in whether or not
 he has made pitcher work for him
 as he is in making a hit He appre- ciates his hits as keen1y as any man
 in the game, and now he is beginning
 to appreciate the satisfaction of
 making an opposing pitcher work
 against him. Kauff should hit fully
 thirty and possibly forty points bet
 ter than he did last year."

C00MBS BATTLES
 GIANTS WHO LOSE
 IST LEAGUE GAME

New York, April 19- Colby Jack Coombs, favored by all the breaks Nof the game, succeeded in checking the Giants, as well as inOculatlng them with their initial defeat of the new season at Ebbets Field yesterday afternoon. The ultimate outcome of the struggle was four runs to three, McGraw's men just barely failing to tie the score in the eighth inning, when a wonderful and accurate throw by Casey Stengel shut off Fletcher at the plate.
 His Lordship, William B. Byron, who officiated behind the plate, was partly to blame for the defeat of Me Graw's team, although this assertion will never be agreed with by the Brooklyn fans or by Wilbert Robin son. Byron gave a rank decision against the New York team in the sixth inning, thus depriving the rec ord holders of at least run, if not a flock of them.
 Charles Lincoln Herzog was the first batter to face Coombs in the sixth. With the count three and, two, Colby Jack curved over a ball that almost hit the second baseman on his pet buniOn. HerZog started for first, but suddenly stopped when he heard Byron's voice penetrate the air with You're out" Herzog rushed back to the plate and, pushing his face close to that of his "ump's," madly Insisted that it was a ball.
 Byron was positive that it was a perfect strike and kept waving his right hand frantically in the air, indi- caing as much. The Canteloupe King became so boisterous that Byron chased him to the club house.
 While the argument was going on McGraw sat peacefully on the bench. Later he began riding the umpire from the third base coaching line, but turned his back as Byron started to- ward him.
 Byron's decision on Herzog was dis astrous, as both Robertson and Zim- merman followed with hits. This would, have populated the bases and long flies by Fletcher and Kauff would have scored both Herzog and Robertson.
 Slim Sallee, the Higginsport Sher- if, was nominated by McGraw to make its five straight. In the sixth inning, when the Robins cashed in enough runs to give them their first victory of the year, Daubert was re- tired on his grounder to Fletcher dolke< making great one-hand stop of the shortstop's wild throw. Meyers singled to centre and Wheat to right Stengel followed with a single to cen ter. Myers scoring, and Casey going to second on the throw to catch Wheat at third.
 McGraw played an exit march and Sallee vacated the pitching mound l George Smith, the former Col,,n, bia | pitcher, took his place
