in 1916 until an injury sustained in mid season caused him to lose much of his effectiveness. He usually could be counted upon to win if sent against the Red Sox or White Sox, and every other team in the league also found him much of a puzzle. Therefore. this noteworthy achievement of the attenauted southpaw was no big sur prise.
 Delving back into the somewhat dusty annals of Yankee history, it is found that Mogridge is the second Yank hurler to journey through nine innings unscathed by the bludgeons of the enemy.
 On Aug. 30, 1910, Tom Hughes, pitching for the New York club against Cleveland, held his opponents hitless for nine innings. Cleveland made it's first hit in the tenth inning and won the game in the eleventh canto. Kaler was the opposing pitch CT. and Cleveland made five runs in the eleventh, the final score being 5 to 0.
 The fact that the Red Sox- were able to push one run across the plate without a hit doesn't detract one whit from the credit due George Mogridge. Had his support been alright he doubtless would have held the Boston army scoreless as we'll as hitless.

SEEN AND HEARD FROMTHE INSIDE

They say it never does any good to protest an umpire's decision but Man ager Pat Moran of the Phillies has just knocked that theory into a cooked hat. President Tener of the National league has sustained Moran's protest on the Phillies-Braves game in Boston recently. Pitcher Jimmy Lavender of the Phillies had figured in a close play at second and started to walk away, thinking he had been called out. When his teammates yelled at him he started to go back but Umpire Brans- field called him out for running out of the base line. Moran claimed this rule could only be applied if Lavender had left the base line to avoid being put out.
 Pitcher Perry, a twirler recently sent back to the Southern league by the Cubs, has been purchased by Manager Mathewson of the Reds. Perry twirled few good games for the Cubs at the tail end of last season but Manager Mitchell didn't think much of him this year.
 Ward Brennan, who acted as referee in several basketball games in. this city, has branched out as baseball umpire. He will officiate this season at the Ridgewood grounds in Brook lyn, where semi-pro games are played Brennan is physical instructor at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn.
 Ray Heating was off form yester- day. The local boy pitched for To- ledo of the American association against St. Paul and was beaten by z to l. He allowed 10 hits
 Dick Naliin, former Eastern league umpire, was the storm center in a pe- culiar play at Chicago yesterday. With three Cleveland men on bases, with the score 1 to 1 and the count and on the batter, Nallin called a balk on Pitcher Danforth of the White Sox and the Cleveland runner on third was sent home with the winning run. Nallin said Danforth stopped while winding up to deliver the ball.

NO REASON FOR WHITMAN'S FIGHT
 AGAINST BOXING

In speaking of Gov. Whitman's fight against boxing the New York Globe says:
 Tt has probably struck many a voter that there are more things worthler of serious consideration than the repeal of the Frawley boxing bill. Yet Governor Whitman continues to insist that the legislators at Albany put the game down and out. There has been no real objection to the sport; no good reasons have been ad- vanced why the present law should be wiped off the statute books and ex- ponents driven back to the old club membership way of following their profession.
 Friends of boxing have rallied to the cause of the sport, and in the As sembly on two occasions the Davis bill; drawn for the purpose of elimi- mating the sport, was beaten down. The action of the members of that body. was sufficient proof of the desire of the people to have the sport con- tinued.
 The constituents of many Assem- blymen advocated the continuance of boxing under the Frawley law, and they, true to their pledges, voted to put down the Davis repeal. The sport also found many packers in the upper house. and that's why the enemies of a good sport have found it so hard to get their measure through.
 It strikes us that what has been done Is sufficient to show that the box ing game is desired and should go along without further interference No finer law could be drawn up than that under which the game is run today True, there are several undesirables in the sport, and the threatened kill ing of the game will have it's good re- suits. Those in whose hands the sport is put for guidance can see to it that all who would bring it into disrepute are eliminated from it."

Frank Chance, pilot of the Los An geles. Angels, will round out his nine lteenth year of the professional dia- nnond tomorrow. The former Peer less Leader of the Cubs started his Chicago career on April 29, 1898, catching Clark Griffith. Chance con- tinued as a backstop three seasons and was then sent to the outfield. He was first used at the initial bag in 1902, and became the regular first basman the following year.

New York-After George Mogridge scaled the heights of fame when he subdued the world champion Boston Red Sox, without allowing them single hit, Bill Donovan, manager of the Yankees, said that he expected Mogr1dge to win at least twenty games this season and that he banks on him to be particularly effective against the Red Sox and White Sox. George Mogndge is no better this sea- son than he was last, when he bade fair to be the star of the New York box brigade. He pitched excellently'

JERSEY CITY TOMORROW.

The debut of the new Bridgeport team against a professional opponent will be made tomorrow when the Eastern leaguers will play Jersey City at Newfield park. Jimmy Clinton of basketball fame and a favorite with those who root for the Blue Ribbons will pitch for the Skeeters. He has trimmed three out of four big league opponents this season, his most recent victims being the Braves, who were set back last Sunday by to 2. Manager Krichell expects to use Dug Smith and Lillpop from Toledo on the mound Donnelly from Toleo proba- bly, will catch. The rest of the line will be: Lear lib, Trieste 2b, Martin ss, Warner b, Finn, Briggs and Brack- cit, outfelders. The Jersey outfit con tains such good players as Bruggy, Lohr, Eschen and Harter.

JINxEs FOR GIANTS.

If the Giants are to win the National league pennant this season there are four jinxes they must vanquish, the New York Sun declares. The four are Pitchers Jack Coombs of Brooklyn, Al Demaree of Cicago, Jimmy Laven- der of the Phillies and Pat Ragan of the Braves. These beavers have all ways proved difficult propositions for McGraw's men.
 This season they started to wave the red flag at the Giants early. Coombs has beaten the New Workers in his first attempt, Pat Ragan turned them back in an extra inning battle. and Lavender gave them a lacing. in Phil adelphia yesterday. Demaree has not been encountered yet but if he does as well as last season he may add a few more gray hairs to McGraw's col-s lection. It is one of the queer twists; of baseball that the Giants can gen. orally hammer Alexander but are helpless before such fingers as De- maree and Ragan, who do not rank in thes anne class with the Philadel-s phia star.

FIRST SECTION OF TAX BILL
PASSED BY HOUSE

Frankfort, KY, March 14-Adminis-
tration forces, led by Representative
Harry Meyers of Covington, won vic
tory late yesterday when the House,
by a vote of II to 90, passed the first
section Of the Oliver bill, providing for
State Tax commission. The first
section, as amended by Representative
Jones, empowers the governor to ap-
point Democrat and Republican,
who with the State auditor will COM
prise the State commission. Repre-
sentative Meyers OF Covington made
the first effort to test the administra-
tons strength. He moved previous
question at the conclusion of Repre-
sentatie divers speech, which pre-
cluded further debate
Representative Purnell of Maysville
voted against the previous question
The vote was SO to SO.
This vote was the doom to the op-
ponents OF the bill, because they
knew that several voted against the
previous question because they de-
sired to speak, not because they were
against the bill.
Almost Immediately the substitute
@! Representative Roach was offered
for the Oliver bill, with its amend
ment. The Roach substitute lost-31
to So.
Mr.. Purnell voted for the Roach
amendment.

ment with, regard, 10 the srming of
ships, vhieh>could be of benefit to the
Secretary Daniels formal state
ment to newspaper men follows:
'tYou have read the statement is
sued from the White House. and now
you know that the President has the
power to arm american merchant
ships making trips on the seas on
lawful errands. and is free TO exer-
else it at once. Il do not think you
ought to ask with what guns they
will be armed or how they will Be
manned or exactly when the power
will be exercised. The Government
should be trusted fully to carry out
the policy announced, in the best
way
Il do not think you ought to ask
when the ships will be armed or print

these two countries. Among these in
cidents. occurring since the publica-
tion, of the German decree, 1t was
stated. are: so e.
The sinking of the Housatonic, the
Lyman NJ. Law and the Laconia:
The insults to Ambassador Gerard
in: Germany after the severance OF
relations. and the detention OF the
Yarrowdale prisoners;
The discovery OF the German in
trigue to bring about joint action
with Mexico and. Japan for an inVa-
sion of the United states.
So plain were these evidences OF
hostile intent on the part of Germany,
as officials here view them, that IL
isSpredicted that. in any formal dec
laration of hostilitfes that may now
eventuate. 1t will be set forth that
a sstate of war" has existed between
the United States and Germany since
February !, when Germany snnounc-
ed her resumption of ruthless sub
marine warfare.
One Chance To Avert War.
The only possible chance that war
wiIr be averted, as most officials here
now see II. is that Germany may at
sue for peace. --.
While reliance on this chance is not
altogether encouraged by the latest
statements emanating from DR.. Zim-
mermAnn, the German foreign minis
ter, who declared that Germany means
to 20 through with her submarine
program. the American Government IS
in possession of convincing evidence
that Germany, from an economic
standpoint, is in desperate straits.
Moreover, offcial dispatches which
the Department of State refuses to
make public are understood to indi-
cate that the German submarine cam
paign is proving more and more OF
failure and that already more than
half the number OF submarines turned
loose in the barred area on February
I, have been sunk or captured by Brit
ish patrols.

not to send out any news about ships
sailing to or from Europe. The wire
less stations are under the direction
OF the Navy Department and no news
of saiiings will go out by radio.
'I am going to request you and
every newspaper and every news
agency in the United States not to
print any news about the arrival of
ships or when any of them will sail
for European ports.
Later Secretary Daniels announced
that there would be no objection to
publishing the arrival of vessels in
American ports and that the stipu-
lation concerning arrivals might be
stricken from his. request to the news
papers of the country.)
There is no power of censorship in
our country. The President does not
have any authority over the press. In
this time of national emergency, /
feel sure that every newspaper will
accede to the request not to even
give a hint or speculation of the SAIL
ing of American ships. Such publi-
cation might result in the loss of
life.
"As the reasons are so obvious for
making this request, there Is conf
this request will be complied with by
every paper in the country.
Plea for Press Patriotism.
"All patriotic Americans are ready
to make sacrifices for their country
in times of emergency. The press
can render the highest patriotic
service by refraining from printing
at this time what ordinarily they
would freely print. ... ..
..1nasmuch as IL will be impossible
to reach every paper and news agency
directly, l will ask all papers to
carry this request which is made as
an appeal to patriotism to all jour-
nalists and disseminators of news.
"The best news the readers can
have is that the Government will
protect the rights of America to the
freedom of the seas. The publication
OF details can serve no good purpose
and might jeopardize human life. All
readS-s will surely applaud the
papers in responding to this appeal"
