SANDBERG SPuRNS
ORDER:
JOINS WITH GIANTS

New York, Jan. 10-George Sand
berg, minor league catcher, who
was with Albany and Reading last
season, is the latest player to ignore
the requests Of the Players Frater-
nifty and sign a contract with the
Giants. Sandbergs document reach
ed Secretary Foster yesterday. This
marks the first break in the ranks
of the minor leaguers, who, accord
ing to President David L. Full. were
ordered not to sign until the Ma
tional Commission had granted their
demands.
Sandberg and Sterling Stryker, one
OF the Giants rookie pitchers have
received permission from the New
York Club to take a transforming
trip to Cuba. On this Transforming
trip are other players recommended
to Manager McGraw. If the trip to
Cuba goes through the Giants. man
ager will have a chance to look over
these youngsters and see if they are
worth taking along to Marlin.
An infie1der named Conifey, an out
fielder, Reubert, and young pitch
er named White will probably go to
Cuba with Mike Donlin's team, and
if they show any worth as players Nc
Graw will take them over to Marlin
when he returns from his vacation in
Cuba.

YALE FIVE WINS
over DARTMOUTH
IN LEAGUE GAME

New Haven, Jan. 10-YaIe opened
it's intercollegiate basketball league
season here last night with a victory
over Dartmouth by a score Of 1924.
The game was fast and interesting
throughout, the result being in doubt
until the final minutes of play
Taft and Kinney were easily the
stars Of the evening. The former
aided the team greatly by his clever
passing and accurate shooting. Dur
ing the second half he broke the II
all tie by a clever dribbling shot
which greatly encouraged the team
with the result that Kinney and NAL
Ion scored in quick succession. Rau,
the little Dartmouth forward put up
a wonderful game for the losers,
caging four field goals in the first
half, two Of which were from the
center Of the floor. Captain Sisson
also played well for the losers, being
credited with nine fouls out of thir-
teen and three field goals.
At the end of the first half the
score was 17-15 in favor Of Dart
mouth. This lead was chiefly due to
the accurate shooting of Rau and it
looked as if Yale would lose the first
game of the intercollegiate series.
Yale frightened up during the second
period Of play however. Olsen tied
the score and later Taft started the
squirt which won the game

COACH LAUDER OF
YALE TO INSPECT
BALL TEAM SOON

New Haven, Jan. 10-Coach Bill
Lauder of the Yale baseball team,
will come to New Haven the latter
part of the month to look over the Eli
hopefuls who are expected to start
practice in the cage about February
1. Lauder has a splendid array Of tai
ent to greet him this year and every
indication is that Yale will place one
of the best teams on the field in re-
cent years. On paper, great many
times, Yale has looked good but there
usually has been reversal of form
and the Yale nine has gone the way
of many Of it's predecessors of late
years.
There have, as a matter Of fact,
been few really good Yale teams dur
ing the past Is years. Last year
team was literally shot to pieces be-
cause Of the now famous Qugue in
cident which barred Harry LeGore,
Rhett, Captain Milburn and Pum-
pelly. OF this quartet LeGore, Rhett
and Pumpelly are still in college.
Pumpelly is ineligible, however, be-
cause he played professional baseball
all last summer.
Pumpelly's loss will be keenly felt
for 1T was generally believed that his
return to college would bolster Yale's
pitching staff to a great extent. Pun
pelly, however, makes no bones of the
fact that he accepted money for
playing ball last summer. When he
decided to take up a postgraduate
course he made it plain that he would
not be member of the squad.
Captain LeGore came back to this
city few days ago and will begin i'm
mediately a building up process
which all Yale men believe at this
writing will result in the best ball
team Yale has had in many years.
This year there is an abundance of
fine material left over from the wreck
of Capt. Milburn's nine and togeth-
er with some good ball playersf rom
last years Freshman team.

KNOCKS
OUT COWLER IN
THE FIRST ROUND

New York, Jan. 10-Fred Fulton,
the Minnesota Giant, made good with
a vengeance at the Broadway Sport
ing club last night. He first floored
and then knocked out big Tom Cow
Ter in the first round, with Is seconds
to go. Cowler was counted out as
he hung crumpled up on the lower
rope of the ring.
Fulton brought Cowler down the
first time with a whizzing left hook
to the jaw. 1t was a clean, deadly
blow that shot through space with
every ounce Of force at Fulton's com
mand. 1t hit true to the button"
and Cowler dropped to the floor as
if he had been pierced by bullet.
Fulton prepared the way for that
first knockdown with amazing cool
ness. His long left, truly a damaging
asset, had blinded the hapless Cowler
until he blinked like boot owl. Full
toms left had cut Toms face until it
was a smear. and then Fulton cleared
the decks for quick action. He edged
close to Cowler, who was fighting
we'll himself, and Tented for the
body. Cowler instictively lowered his
guard, and bang went that left
The punch sat Cowler down on his
launches. He rolled over until he
got into kneeling position. His eyes
were CLASSY and he seemed to be look
ing for the ever faithful Jimmy
Johnston, his manager and second.
Take your time, Tom-take your
time" shrieked Johnston. Cowler
finally wriggled around SO that he
could see johnson and then he got
up. He was rather rickety on his pins
and Fulton began tatooo to Cow1er's
head with both hands. Cowler cover
ed as best he could, but Fulton drove
through his guard with a right upper
cut and down went Jimmy Johnston's
heavyweight hope. He made a brave
effort to get up. He reached out and
grasped the ropes with his gloved
hand and tried to pull himself afoot.
He wasn't equal to the effort and
slipped back into half sitting posi-
ton while John Haukup, the referee,
counted off the dread ten seconds.
That done, Haukup reached down
and lifted Cow1er to his feet and help
ed him to his corner. Fulton seemed
to realize that the curtain had been
rung down on Cowler with the finish
ing uppercut. Once delivered, he
turned about and walked calmly to
his angle Of the ring, saluting the
| crwd and his seconds with a sweep
| Of his ponderous right arm. He didn't
| turn to see what would be CowIer's
fate until he had reached his corner.
He s1ook hands with his seconds
| and then meandered over to the
beaten mans corner to shake his
| hand.
The quick finish seemed to stun the
crowd. Cowler's end came so quickly
| that there was little chance to see just
how much Fulton has improved.

lounged in his room at The Stratfield

line Of what you call hot air as GER
tain managers give out. In Australia
if a manager tells you he will give
you $4,000 for bout he means 1t. In
this country men have rushed in to
offer me $4,000 and $4,000 and I
afterward found they didn't have rs

thing seriously and is apt to hammer
him hard any time.

Carpenter won't leave France for

good opponent for his American de-
but. Tom Andrews made me a good
offer to fight in Milwaukee," he said,
''but I would prefer to make my first

Kid Mccoy Knocked
Out Payne in Fourth

It took Kid Mccoy four rounds to
put Doc Payne to sleep in a bout
pulled off in Louisville nineteen years
ago to-day. The Hosier Kid was then
at the height Of his glory, and for
years he had gone unwhipped. There
were a lot Of sports who were anx-
ious to have the clever, smiling, SUI
percilious Mccoy given a taste of his
own knockout medicine, and some of
en- thought Doc Payne was the man
to do it. Payne, Clevelander, had
trained Mccoy for his fight with Dan
creedon, the Australian, pulled off at
Long Island City the previous month,
and Doc was supposed to know all
of the Kids tricks and inside stuff.
Payne thought SO, too, but when he
faced the Hoosier in the ring he was
soon brought to realization, that
there were q lot of things in McCoy's
repertoire that were news to him. Nc
Coy played with his opponent like a
cat with mouse, after his usual man
ner, until he tired of the fun, and then
put over the soporific wal1op.
