MORRIS TO CHASE
WILLARD IF He
DEFEATS MORAN


New York, May Carl Morris, the
rangy Sapulpa Giant, is going to bat
tie Frank Moran a week from Friday.
Carl hopes fondly that he will bring
Franks career to a sudden te-mina-
ton. If such should be the case then
Carl could poster and annoy the
happy, smooth life of Jess Willard.
Morris realizes the well known fact
that no gladiator can start to bother
Willard until Moran is out of the way.
Moran occupies the unique position
Of being the only man that fought two
ampions-Johnson and Willard
and, though not winning a battle
didn't suffer much loss to his prestige.
1t is for this reason that Morris, in
tends to step his fastest with Moran,
for decisive conquest means every
thing to his future.
Twas only few days ago that Will
lard even admitted he would consider
Morris as possible opponent. That
was quite a concession, so Carl will
have to show something or the cham
pion will cast him aside.
Morris and Moran were matched to
box 5 rounds last winter in Okla
homa, but just as the bout was to be
staged the governor stepped in and
put on the crusher. Since then several
promoters bid for the match, but the
Harlem Sporting club obtained it by
guaranteeing each man $1,000.

GRO0M'S GREAT
TWlRLlNG KEEPS
CHICAGO HITLESS

st. Louis, Mo-, May bobby
Groom, the veteran pitcher, did not
allow Chicago a hit . for II innings
yesterday, and st. Louis took both
games, the first to and the second
to o.
In the fourth inning of the first
game, St. Louis drove Russell from
tht box, making five runs. They add
ed three more in the eighth on two
singles, a double, a sacrifice and E
Collins's error.
Plank retired for a pinch hitter in
the seventh and Groom relieved him
on the mound. From then on to the
end of the second game Chicago could
not get q hit.
But % men faced Groom in the Sec
ond game. Four reached first, one hit
a sacrifice, three got bases on balls,
and one was hit; and only one, Ris-
berg, in the sixth inning, got beyond
first.
st. Louis made a run in the first
when Sisler singled and jacobson
doubled In the second inning John.
son doubled and scored on Lavan's
single. In the eighth Austin singled
and took third when SisIer singled.
Sisler stole seconld and went to third
when Austin was thrown out at the
plate on Marsan's fielder's choice He
scored when Marsans was caught in
a runup between first and second.

BEN CHlNG OF LEE.
MAGE BLOW TO
HIGH PRICED STAR

New York. May THE benching
of Lee Magee last week was a sad
blow to his many friends. Lee is
serving out the last year of his
Brookfed managerial contract for So
200 per annum. Perhaps that con-
tract is one of the toughest parts of
Lees RELOCATION, to the bench squad.
He was paid that money because the
club, believed he was worth it. Short
ly after Huston and Rupert, purchas-
ed Lee from the Feds for $22,
George Sta1lings of the Braves, said,
ST regard him as the player who ap-
proaches Cobb closer than any man
in baseball
Magee was a good hitter in the
National league; he hit as high as
.2s0. In the Federal league, Kauff and
Magee outclassed the field, including
Chase. Many thought Magee had
just found himself in the Feds and
predicted big things for him in the
American league. Last season he hit
.257, but it was in spurts and never
consistent He was expected to go
better this year, but after he failed to
reach first base in three successive
games against Washington, Donovan
took him out and sent Hendryx to
centre field.

ALREADY FOUR NO
HIT CONTESTS PUT
OVER THIS SEASON

New York, May although; the
baseball season is only three weeks
old four pitchers have hurled no-f1it
games
The first to break into this exclusive
set was Eddie Cicotte, the veteran
White Sox boxfnan, who shut out the
Browns without a single safe swat on
April IA, only three days after the
season, opened. Chicago won, II to 0.
Only our st. Louis batters got on base.
Cicotte walking three and hitting one.
Ten days later George Mogridge,s of
the Yankees, did not allow the Rex
Sox a hit in a game which the Yam
KEGS won by a score of 2 to 1. Bes-
toms talley was scored on an error. a
sacrifice and sacrifice fly. Mogridge
walked three of the opposing batsmeas
one of them purposely. III
Last Wednesday Fred Toney, of CfAs
cinnati, retired the Cubs without a hit
or run in a ten-inning contest, while
Jim Vaughn, former Yankee, who
pitched for Chicago, allowed only one
run and two hits. And Vaughn held
the Reds hitless in the first nine inn

YANKS' PITCHERS
GOOD BUT TEAM
BATTING Is WEAK

New York, Nay THE Yankees got
through the first lap of their long road
trip with a percentage of 500 di-
viding four games with the Washing
ton team. Two other games, with
the Athletics, were called off.
= The Donovan bunch has not de-
veloped the offence that it was sup
posed to have. The pitching staff
appears to be the best in baseball and
the pitchers will not ask for many
runs to win. Caldwell permitted
tonly four runs in his last two games,
but lost, to O. and 8 to 1. Caldwell
and Shawkey, considered the clubs
best pitchers, have now won only one
game between them and lost six of
the teams seven defeats. ShaVkey
is getting away to a. bad start, but
showed improvement in his last game.
Perhaps the most interesting feature
of the Yankee pitching last week is
that Fisher in his first league game
hurled shutout. Though Fisher is
one of the oldest pitchers in the
league in length of service, having
come to New York in 1909, Ray is
only 20 and should have as much
good baseball ahead of him as he
has behind him.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1917-05-07

Chicago, May 5-They are still talk
ing here of the great no hit ten in
ming game pitched by Fred Toney,
when the Cincinnati Reds just man
aged to nose out the Chicago Cubs by
the score of 1 to- O.
Jim Vaughn of Chicago also pitched
no hit game for nine full innings,
but with one man out in the tenth
Kopf of Cincinnati singled, went to
third when Williams dropped a fly
from Chase's bat and scored when Jim
Thorpe dribbled a slow bounder to
the box.
A worlds record was established
when Toney and Vaughn both went
nine innings without allowing a hit.
Both pitchers were saved time and
again by REMARKABLY fielding, and
Toney in particular can thank Cueto,
the Cuban outf1elder -of Cincinnati.
who backed into the left field fence
and made a sensational catch of, "a

Toney has been ranked for two
years as one of the leading pitchers in

down to seventeenth place last season,
with weak team behind him, when

PHILLIES PLEASE
LOCAL CROWD BY
SNAPPY PLAYING
(By Wagner.)

Sticks and stones may break our
in the Eastern league anyway. His
name is Oakley Wood and he has
shape like a grapefruit. Although
the grapefruit gives you a hard bat
tie at breakfast when the juice
squirts in your eye, Oakley didn't give
the Phillies much Of a tussle at New
field park, yesterday. He had been
sent to the trenches by Manager Kri-
chell in the fifth to relieve Lolly Lilli-
pop who was bravely trying to hold
the Philadelphia Nationals in check.
AS soon as the fans got an >eyefull
of Woods generous figure they arose
as one man and gave three hearty
chuckles. This must have upset
Oakley, for he gave three passes in
order. knocked Pitcher Fittery cold
with a wild pitch and allowed a cou-
pie of hits which gave the Phillies
four runs and the game. The fans
thought Wood would be asscream try
ing to bend over to field ball but he
got away with a couple and the
crowd finally gave him a compliment
tary round of cheers. 1t, was an in
teresting contest and was watched by
a crowd Of about 5000, a remarkable
turnout considering the cold wealth
er.. The final score was Phillies 6;
Bridgeport 2.
Manager Pat Moran of the Phil
lies sent a strong club. He had
Wooden Shoes Cravath in right and
the slugger obliged by pounding out
a double in the third. Luderus, one
of the best hitters in the National
circuit, was on first and Milton Stock,
formerly of the Giants, held down
an infield job. Cooper, who jumped
the Giants for the Federals and was
signed by the Phil1ies last year. was
in center. Fittery, a southpaw who
started the game, was secured from
the Pacific Coast league. Manager
Moran thinks well of him and has
made the youngster' a regular. He
allowed Bridgeport one run in four
innings but had to quit after he was
laid low by an finshoot in the fifth.
Erskine Mayer and his underhand de-
livery, were trotted out in the fifth.
Mayer is regarded as one of the best
hurlers in the National league.
He and Carl Mays Of the Boston
Red Sox are about the only pitchers
in the big leagues who fling under
hand Mayors delivery bothered
Br1dgeport and the locals got only
one run in five rounds.
Hank Bracket and Jake Warner
were two Bridgeporters not bothered
by the big league hurlers. Each
collected two blows. King Lear peel
ed off a double in the ninth, later
scoring on Warmers single. Johnny
Prieste's two Dagger scored Bracket
in the fourth.
Lillipop started in the box for the
locals He allowed two runs in the
first but would have escaped with less
damage If Bracket had not muffed
Cravath's liner. The Phillies could
not score again until the fifth when
Wood todd1ed on the scene. Dug
Smith worked in the eighth and
ninth and sent the Phil1ies down in
one, two, three order. The score:

JONES GREAT MANAGER.

The difference in managers is shown
in the playing of the Chicago White
Sox and St. Louis Browns in the
American league. The White SoX,
with their galaxy Of stars including
Eddie Collins, Joe Jackson and
Catcher Schalk, have already started
to crack wide open, after Keeling off
a fine string Of victories when the
campaign opened. Clarence Row
land, the man Owner Comiskey of the
White Sox rescued from the Three
I league to lead the club, was gen.
orally blamed last season for the fail
ure Of the Sox to win the flag. Crit
les think he should get better results
with the material at hand and the
slump of the White Sox has caused
the hammers to fly in his direction
again.
On the other hand Fielder Jones
has accomplished great deal with
the st. Louis Browns, considering the
lack of hitting, strength of the club.
His players have commenced to strike
their stride and Jones is getting every
bit possible from his material. Jones
is recognized as one of the smartest
managers in the game. If he had
the White Sox it is safe to say they
would tear right through the league.
The brass band has already started
to warm up for the opening game of
the Eastern league season, which will
be held in this city, Friday. Harry P.
Quinn's Marching and Chowder club
has the military drill down fine and
the boys will march in the parade if
they are coaxed.
The merry baseball battle between
the New Haven Eastern leaguers and

day and the Eastern boys won the
first financial success because they
played and the Colonials didn't. The

at Los Angeles. It was this bout,
rather than for the heavyweight

with his title, the sporting world did
not take the affair seriously, as it was
considered that there were several

Burns and philadelphia Jack"
were the leading contenders, al
though both were light-heavyweight
They first fought in Milwaukee in
1904, when the Philadelphia was
the victor. A. few months after his
defeat of Hart, the Canadian fought
O'Brien again, going 20 rounds to a
draw in Los Angeles. The third ses-
sion gave Burns the victory, although
not by any wide margin, and he COM
menced the championship career
which terminated when he met John
son.
