New York, May 1-America's ath- letic champions are responding to the country's call to arms in a manner which establishes a precedent for all other walks of life. Title holders in every branch have rallied around the colors with an enthusiasm and spirit which has gladdened the hearts of all athletic followers. Not one single stacker has been uncovered.
 The example set by such a sterling champion as Johnny Overton of Yale, both as an intercollegiate title holder and as an athlete who did not hesi- tate in responding to his. country s call, is one which has proved most in- spring to all grades of athletes. s
 When the first call was issued last spring for the soldiers to protect the southern border against the invasion of the Mexican outlaws, Johnny Over ton was the first undergraduate at the New Haven school of learning to register under the colors. The inter- collegiate cross country champion and

OZANAM BOYS PLEASED
 AT VICTORY IN POOL
 SERIES WITH WALNUTS

Last Saturday evening marked the close of a successful inter-club pocket billiard series which had been taking place the past two weeks. The Oza- nam boys outclassed the Walnut boys at all stages of the tournament. Be- sides winning a silver cup the Oza- nams are Champions of the South End for 11917.'
 The players of the Ozanams were Richard Bowden, who captured first honors; Louis Pa1terno, second; Hugh Dewitt, third, and George Day, fourth. Louis Palterno was awarded the prize for high run of balls, which was 22.
 The series proved of great interest and large crowds attended the matches. Thee, up is similar to that of the St. .Joseph's T. B. and L asso- citation which was won from the Oza- nams last year.

HICH'S SMASH IN TENTH WINS
 FOR THE TANKS

Washington, D. C., May IA solid, dusted George McBrides finger tips and landed in left center field, car ried the Yankees to a ten-inning vic- tory over Clark Griffth's Senators here yesterday afternoon in the open CT of a four-game series. Two Yan- kees had been retired in the tenth, Nunamaker was resting on third base, and the game was tied up for the third time when High delivered his timely wallop. The score was 4 to 8.
 Urban Shocker, making his second start of the young season, each of which has been against the Senators, gets credit for the victory, but it was one of those triumphs which wing their way into the record books on a horseshoe, rather than on good pitch ing Shocker was bad all the way. In the early innings he handed out passes in wholesale fashion and later when he got his range on the plate, the Senators punched his offerings to all sections of the meadow. Fielding that was both faultless and brilliant offset a flock of seven passes by Shocker and nine hits for 13 bases off his delivery. The New York box man was not the puzzle that he usual ly is and his only strike-out was at the expense of the light-hitting Du- mont.
 The Yankees again had their trou bles with George Dumont, who re- gently limited them to a run in nine innings at the Polo Grounds, only to give way to Johnson and lose in the tenth. Yesterday Dumont again failed to stay until the finish, being lifted for pinch hitter, who deliver ed in the eighth inning, and Bert Gallia came in to, be/ charged with the defeat. Gallia- helped in his own undoing with a bad peg in the tenth.

WELSH
 AND KILBANE IN
 BATTLE TONIGHT

New York. May 1-Sometime this evening Freddie Welsh, the hght- weight champion, and Johnny hil-' bane, the sfeatherweight8 champloh' will indulge in "a ten round 9oust dI the Manhattan A. .s C. For Ihahy ynonths this little scrap between the +;tIahoIders was discussed pro and con and eventually it was forced 10 come to g. crisis That crisis will nap nen about 10 o'clock this very night. The bows are to we:gh in at l5o at two o'clock. which will be easy TOT both to make.
 In covering the discrepancy or ten pounds-the limit allowed by our Most August Commission-it simply means that Kibanes must : tia the beam around 127 pounds as Welsh Will climb through the ropes 137 pounds or very close to that mark.
 To overcome this stringent rule KaJbane has worked so that he Will lose no weight. In fact 1t would sur prise none if he spared off close 10 13o pounds. That is a guess for sucn a poundage wouldn't help him sucn much. This is the first time two chant f}forisa Scfashed since the night Terry McGov9rnH lsnockede out Frank Erne, some tlIteen years dSo.
 In fight of this order Kllhane mas everything to gain. Welsh, on the other hand, has everything to lose. That alone should make it a good battle Kilbane should be out there fighting like a wildcat striving to grab off one more crown.
 Welsh should be out there battling to slave aoff the rushes of his younger antagofifst and to save his battered crown. iKilbane realizes his chances and declares he will take advantage of any opportunity tht pops up it's head

The Phillies of the National league have been booked for a game at New field park next Sunday, according to an announcement made today by. Man ager Paul Krichell. Pat Moran players are considered one of the strongest aggregations in the National circuit and the fans will be glad of the opportunity to see them in action.
 The local mana cement has been as- sured that the visitors will use their regular lineup, Because of the back ward spring the big leaguers have not had much practice and for that rea- son Manager Moran will use his regu- lars Sunday in order to keep them in condition. Such stars as Wooden Shoes Cravath, Paskert, Whitted, Luderus, Bancroft and Stock will be seen on the field. After their good showing against Jersey City last Sun day the Bridgeport players hope to give the Phillies strong opposition.
 In preparation for the contest Pres ident Lane of the local club has or dered the erection of new bleachers along the third base line. When these are completed the seating capacity of the park will be increased to $500. With the new fence around the park the individual chairs replacing the old benches in the grand stand and the improvement to the diamond, New field park presents a better appear ance than in many years.
 Manager Krichen is expressing some doubt as to whether he will get that pitcher from the Yankees. Man ager Donovan is willing to farm out a pitcher named Alex Ferguson with Catcher Olsen but will not send one without the other. As the locals have no need for another backstop the deal is likely to fall through. r'

PIE WAY, FORMER YALE
 STAR, TELLS WHY HE
 ABANDONED BASEBALL

New Haven, May Pie Way, who recently announced his retirement from professional baseball in order to take up employment in the Bethle- hem Steel Works, has some interest ing comment to make concerning his short major league career. Saws Pie:
 "I don't want to be in the position of attacking baseball, that is, profes- sional baseball he said "It is none of my business ,and I haven't amount ed to enough in the game to stand as a critic. But I can say that I found it a loss, so far as I was concerned I say this in spite of the fact that I could sign at least two very satisfac- tory contracts with good minor league clubs, with, the prospect, of course, of working my way back to the big league. N But I don't want it.
 Jack Coombs, late of the Athletics. put it correctly when he said that a college man goes into the big league with an education, and comes out without one. CoombS is a college man who has spent number of years in organized baseball, and he ought to know. In fact. I could see it for myself. You have no great
 
 times; there is no bookish associa- ton. Few of the big leaguers do any worthwhile reading, and association with them does not tend to any amount of mental development
 "Of course, this does not apply to aii, but am speaking Of the general run. Now when I was with Yale I didn't feel the grip of baseball. In a city when the other fellows would go to a big league park I would go to some show; this is to say I wasn't much of fan. But after several months in a regular organization I can see the difference; the game gets into you and you want to stick. So I quit before the thing got too firm a grip on me. Of course, I'll keep up my baseball Out in Bethlehem they have teams at the plant, a small league, I believe. I'll do some play ing out there, but in the final analysis I'm for business, first, last and all the time"

Need Large Staffs
 When Three Pitchers
 Are Used Each Game

New York, May I'm two consecu- tive days the St. Louis Browns slugged Cleveland pitchers for 30 base hits. ThesClevelands used seven pitchers in those two games trying to check the p1llag1ng BrownS-Morton, Smith Gould, Bagby, Lambeth, Boehling and Coyelesk1e. The use of so many pitchers is merely illustrative of the strong drift in that direction, of the rush to the bench for another pitcher even when the symptoms that the mound incumbent is wabbling are slight.

 There is considerable bad feeling between the Braves and Phillies, ac- cording to accounts of yesterdays s game. Rudolph of the Braves had an argument with Alexander while the Phillies star was at bat and the um- pire had to wave Rudolph back to the box. That is nothing new for the Braves, though. They h. no good feeling for any team in the league.
 Larry Doyle, in spite of his injur- ed leg, has been hitting hard for t--e Cubs. He and the other Giant cast off, Merkle, have been of great as- sistance to the Cubs.
 Herbert Hunter, the youngster sent to the Cubs in the deal which brought Zimmerman to the Giants, will prob ably be the regular third sacker for the Chicago club. He IS a good hit ter and that is what Manager Mitchell needs.
 Owner Jim Collins of the New Ha- ven baseball club has stirred up lot of trouble for himself by interfering with the game the Colonials and Niagara university were to have play ed at Lighthouse point last Sunday. Collins is charged with having in duced the New York state boys to cancel the contest. He is likely to get in bad with Elm City fans and thereby injure the popularity of the Eastern league in New Haven.
 Larry Chappelle, the outfielder pur- . chased for srS, 900 by the White Sox a few years ago, is apparently one of those players who star in the high class minors but flicker out in the majors.

On Feeding Turkeys

When you sell your turkeys and
they do not weigh what you think
they should, the question will be ask
ed, Did you feed well?
Turkeys running at large and left
to feed on what they can pick up do
not weigh like turkeys fed regularly,
just as you feed your hogs and cat
tie.
Most farmers when they bring
their turkeys to market, will say:
"My turkeys should be fat" They
have run in the hog pen and corn
field all fall" But if you have not
fed them regularly, they will not
weigh satisfactorily.
Killers want fat turkeys and we
will be in the market for good fat tur-
keys, paying highest market prices.
