SMITH ONLY ONE
 NOW WITH BRAVES

Carlisle Smith is the only active member of the Braves who played in the worlds series of 1914, when the Athletics lost four straight games. Ru- dolph also is on the Boston Clubs ros- ter, but last season he suffered from a lame arm and it is now a question how long he will last. Of the other world beaters of four years ago Butch Schmidt, the big first baseman, has retired. Johnny Evers, captain and second baseman, has just been drop ped by the Red Sox, who signed him in February only to learn that he could not come back. Maranville, the famous shortstop, is on duty at the Charlestown Navy Yard. Gowdy, the sensational catcher and home run hitter, is with our Army in France. Joe Connolly and Herbert Moran, out fielders, were in the minors last seas- on, also Devore, Gather and Gilbert. Whitted has been playing with the Phillies since 1915 Fred Mitchell, who was Stallings's valuable assist ] ant, is the manager of the Cubs, for whom Mann and Deal are covering left field and third base, respectively. Whaling, one of the backstops. is playing in the Coast League.

SMOKER PROVES
 HUGE SUCCESS Fine Entertainment Given By Laksco Club at Lev
 insky's Gym.
BY T. F. WAGNER.

Bat Levinskys 60x40 fight arena On Newield avenue was jammed tighter than a set of false teeth last night at the smoker given under the aus pics of Joe Smith, Joe Vetrano and Ralph Browns Laksco club. Every thing from a real honest-to-geodness fight to a camouf1age setto was dished out to the 1900 or more employees of the Lake Submarine Co.,, who were on hand to take in the festivities.
 The entertainment opened with a few musical selections by the Shu- bert's orchestra from Freyler's cab aret. S. P. Barrner, Charles Prevail, Roy Jerry, Joe Harris and Jimmy Mills the lightning drummer, enter tained the fans while the fistic cele- brities were in the dressing room tog- ging up for the box fights.
 Margaret Stephens, a seven-year' old girl, made big hit with the fans through her physical culture stunts. She also entertained by boxing three one minute rounds with her brother William.
 The big event of the evening be- tween Lieut.. Battling Levinsky and Larry Williams proved to be a real scrap and it might be said right here that Larry and Barney threw science to the winds and slugged each other at top speed. The bout was cut to four rounds as Levinsky was in g hurry to get back to camp.
 l. Others who entertained were Red IAllen, Jimmy Coffey, Young Bedell l, the Allen twins, Frankie Wilson, ~Kit Murphy, Young McMahon, Johnny Sharpe, Marty Morris, Jeff Began anG Kid Corbett. Terry Lee, Alderman Vincent s. Whitney and Ralph Browr acted as referee, announcer and timer respectively.
 l Mayor Clifford B. Wilson was o1 hand and was given a rousing chee, after he delivered a patriotic speech "Cliff,.' as wants the "boys" to knov him by, spoke well of how the Lak
 company has taken an active interes
 in the affairs of the city and congratu lated the Laksco club for their effort in the athletic line. Other speaker
 during the evening were John KissicB gneral manager of the Lake company
 and Ralph Brown, head of the em ployment department of the sam
 concern.

turn for the surrender of the five-year contract he holds on the big fellows s services. That's a lot of money to be worth in ones own right, is $75,000, but Jacques VOWS that he will ever let the Law Horrible snap at Dempsey's s heels unless he either buys his way out of bondage or lives up to his con- tract.
 Reisler says he will keep pounding with the LAW as bludgeon. He went to St. Louis recently and sought to prevent Dempsey's appearance as fighter and actor. John succeeded so well in his opposition that in despera- ton, friends of Dempsey offered Refs Ter S7,500 for his release. Jacques laughed right straight at them.
 "Seventy-five thousand is my price, gentlemen said Reisler. ''This boy is a real champion. I found him and I'll make him king of the heavies when he lives up to his bond. If he does not care to let me act as his sponsor, then I will sell my interest in him for all time. Seventyf1ve thousand ONCE, seventy-five thou sand TWICE. seventy-dve thousand THIRD and LAST call. I hear-no offers. I retain Mister Dempsey"
 And John says he is still of that mind.

TWO-PLY DEFEAT
 FOR THE TANKS
Lose Morning and Afternoon Games to Ed Barrow's
 Red Hose Clan.

Boston, April 2O-Fresh from two triumphs over Walter Johnson in Washington, the New York Yankees came here yesterday and suffered two defeats at the hands of Joe Bush and Babe Ruth. The Red Sox carried off the morning game 2 to 1 and won in the afternoon to 5.
 Allen Russell is the first of Hug gins's pitchers to go nine innings. He opposed Bush in the early encounter and deserved to win, but his support slipped up on him. In the second in- ming a bad throw by Peck allowed McInnis to go from first to third, from which point he scored on Bakers out at first. In the third inning PipE fumbled Hooper's grounder and liar ry was safe on first. Shean singled to left, sending Hooper to third Strunk spun out a sacrifice fly an( Hooper scored a gift run, as Hobb! and McInnis were easy for Russell.
 In the afternoon game Ray Cald we'll started, but after pitching to fou batters, giving a base on balls ant allowing a hit and a sacrifice fly Thormahlen was substituted. The youngster did well until tn fifth, when three bad errors by Der Till Pratt, combined with some shor hitting, gave the Red Sox five runs They got two more in the seventh The Tanks came strong in the lat innings of the game, but were to, late to catch up.
 Ed Monroe made his first appear ance this year after Thormahlen ha, been taken from the box, but wa wild and nervous.
 Pratt made up for his bad work i the field with four solid hits, two dou bles and two singles, in the afternoo game.
 The Yankees hit Ruth hard but the were unable to overcome the fit inning handicap. A peculiar play the game came when Gilhooley race back to the right field bleacher fenc and caught Ruth's drive with on hand. Scott, who was on second bas, came all the way home ahead of tn relay.

COLLINS SCORES
 FIRST VICTORY
Rumpus in New Haven Con tinues But Jim Claims to
 Be Leading Weiss.

New Haven, April 2o---Iatest de velopments in local baseball have led Owner Collins of the New Haven baseball club to the belief that he has scored his first victory of the season over George Weiss, manager of the recently discrganized Oolonials and now in charge of the games between hervice teams arranged for Light house Point.
 Weiss secured the jump upon his most bitter rival few weeks ago by landing the lease of the east shore grounds and Collins now claims that he has evened the score through the failure of Jack Bary's Naval Reserve team to come here and play its sched- uled games.
 The first inkling that Barrys team would be unable to appear here to- morrow against the Fort Slocum az gregation came in the nature of an announcement yesterday that the Camp Dix team would come here as a substitute. Barry stated yesterday over the phone and the statement was later confirmed by Manager Tal- bot, that although the sailors were pleased at the prospect of playing here and everything was acceptable | to them, the naval officials at Wash ington had as yet not sent along their O.. K. of the plan to play ball so far away from the Boston base, but it was expected momentarily.
 Capt Barry says there is a naval ruling that the sailor boys can only go 9 miles away from their station and that they must get permission of the higher officials at Washington if Ithey wish to go out of this limit. If they go without it they are liable to arrest.
 The explanation advanced for Bar rvs failure to bring his team here is Idisputed by Owner Collins. Collins declared last night that the former I,Red Sox leader is fully cognizant of ithe fact that his coming would jeop- ardize his standing in organized base ball and that this is the real reason for not playing games here. The New Haven club-owner is now satis- fled that the Barry incident is closed and that the Naval team will not ap- pear here.
 Collins plans to investigate closely the identity of the players who come
 here tomorrow with the Fort Slocum
 and Camp Dix aggregations. If there are any organized ball players on :, either team he will take necessary , steps to see tthat some action is taken.
 .I want it understood that my ter
 ritorial rights must be respected" de- clared Collins last night. Tt does not seem to me that these games are conducted wholly as a patriotic meas ure and that is the chief reason for
 my attitude in the present matter"

BENNY FORCED TO
 PAY FOR FLIVVER

Benny Kauff, star batter of the Giants, was fined $350 yesterday and consented to pay without even questioning the decision of the um- pire. The little outfielder was too busy on March 4 practising in the Southland to respond to subpoena to go to the City Court in New York for examining in supplementary proceedings on a judgment for $317, obtained by Andrew J. Coak- ley, also some ball player in his day. The debt was due on a policy of insurance issued on Kauff's auto mobile.
 Kauff's failure to appear for examination was responsible for his appearing before Justice O'Dwyer yesterday to show cause why he should not be punished for con- tempt of court. He told the court that he was willing to settle the indebtedness on certain terms. Jus tice O'Dwyer fixed the terms. He fined the ball player the amount of the judgment and costs to be set tied in three payments.

Sporting Chatter

McGraw will carry more pitchers than he did last year. The Giants manager does not intend to be caught mapping again.
 George Burns of the Giants was the best waiter in the National League last season. He drew sevent-five bases on balls. Heinie Groh of the Reds stood second with seventy-or1e.
 Joe Wagner, who was with the Giants for a time last spring, is playing with the Louisville club of the Amer | ican Association. Wagner is a clever l fielder. but cannot hit hard enough to hold a place in the big show.
 Outfelder Jackson, turned back by i the Pirates to Spokane, will not report to that club, as he expects to be draft l ed any day.
