Mrs. Kate Lydcckcr Repeats Her
Sterling Victory of Last Tues

Baltimore, April 2T.-Although an
interesting program was furnished the
racegoers at the Havro de Grace
track yesterday afternoon, it re-
manned for Mrs. Kate Lydecker and
Jack Hare, Jr, TO furnish the best
running Of the day. Mrs. Lydecker
the chestnut daughter of Trap Rock,
carrying the colors Of Edward Nc

sterling victory of last Tuesday, when
she gal1oped home a victor in the
first race over q four and half fur
long route.
AZ in her race last Tuesday, she
took tho lead at the start, and al
though hard pushed for part Of the
way by Milda held her own to the
finish and won easily. She was the
favorte and covered the distance in
"a % seconds, three-f1fths Of a sec
ond better than her time of last
Tuesday.
Jack Hare, Jr., favorite in the
sixth race, continued to race in his
consistent form. With Wordsworth
up, he came through a winner with
q safe margin over Tumbler. A field
of nine horses faced the barrier and
Jack Hare led almost from the start.
Jockey Hummer, who rode three
winners two days ago, had another
good day. He led Producer home a
winner in the fifth race, finished sec
ond to Mrs. Kate Lydecker on Milda

KOPF AND JAKE
Local Big Leaguers to Play With Col
onia1s Tomorrow Against Newport
Naval Reserves Team

New Haven, April 27.-The an
nouncement that Chief Bender, Billy
Kopf and Baby Doll' jacobson had
been signed as the nucleus for a new
Colonial team to replace Jack Bar
rvs Navals at the Light against the
powerful Newport Reserves has oc-
casioned such delight among local
fanatics as the initial mention of the
Barry proposition two weeks ago.
Bender will undoubtedly prove a
wonderful drawing card His mar
velous performances at the Light last
season are far from forgotten locally.
He was beyond a doubt the Bender of
old, the same Chief who led all the
pitchers Of the world for four sea-
sons. He had the same binding speed
and sharp breaking hooks and, above
all, the same craft which marked
him supreme among hurlers. Just to
prove that his local performances
were no flash in the pan, when as
was to be expected when word of his
return to for became known, he took
up mound duty with the PhilIies, he
startled the baseball world with his
winning streak of seven straight vic
tories, putting the Phllies right in
the pennant fight. This season Pat
Moran figured on him as Alexander's
successor but the big Red Skin de-
cided that he had had enough big
league twirling and would stick to
his various activities at the Hold
Shipbuilding corporation, EngIewood
Gun Club, he being rated as one Of
the crack shots of the country and
playing independent ball.
kopf and Jacobson, his big league
running mates, are two more stars in
their prime and whose acquisition
will make the Colonials by far the
strongest independent club ever as
sembled. Kopf by his work with
Cincinnati last season, was ho"alded
as MaranVilles logical success as the
greatest shortstop in the game this
season, but salary differences cou-
pied with the fact that he soon viii!

son, leading hitter of the Eastern
three years agO, was sold TO New
York and thence to the Browns with
which club he starred in center field
last season. Both are New britain
lads and the Hardware city is eX-
pected to turn out en- masse. at the

HARVARD'S BUDGET
SHOWS A BIG LOSS
Discontinuanco Of Football and Base
ball is I<cenly Felt in Grim
son Athletic Circles.

Harvard's athletic budget will show
a loss this year, the result of de-
cline in the returns from those usu-
ally great earners, football and base
ball. However, these two sports will
be found to have come nearer to be-
ing self-supporting than crew, hockey
and track. The minor sports gener-
ally have been conducted at a loss,
and in years Of peace they have
shown a deficit of from $4,000 to
$4,000.
The last year that Harvard had a
formal football eleven, q profit Of
more than $4,000 was obtained in
this one branch, while the informal
team Of the past fall scarcely cleared
expenses. Baseball this spring will
the money losers, it is thought, as the
Crimson schedule includes only two
games that will draw-the matches
with Princeton and Yale.
Harvard can stand the loss much
better than most colleges because in
the past ten years she has been the
biggest sport in the east-sha
still has money in the bank. Never
theless Harvard talks Of general re-
trenchment in all athletics after the
war. Much in the way Of unneces-
sary expense will be omitted in the
future. At least present intentions
seem to lie in this direction.

FOUR TEAMS APPEAR

Brooklyn and Boston in the National

Louis i'm the American,

Unless they are materially strength
Braves and the Brooklyns, of the Ma
tional league, together with the Wash
lngtonS and ST. Louis Browns, OF the
American league, will not be factors
in the pennant races The Braves lack
pitchers and a hard hitting second
baseman, while the Brooklyns need at
, least two inflelders, an outfielder and
a frst-class right-handed pitcher. The
Washingtons and Browns both seem
to be deficient in batting.
The Athletics, unless, Connie Mack
secures more pitching material, are
doomed to finish in the second dlVi-
sion, although they may not wind up
in last place. The Giants SO far have
easily outclassed the Braves and Rob-
ms, but the fast moving Phillies may
! bother them more than the wise men
expect.
In the West McGraws champions
Slstance, inasmuch as the Cubs Reds,
Pirates and Cardinals are playing
much better ball than the Boston and
Brooklyn teams.
If Miller Higgins can lay hands on
a couple of good boxmen, the Yam
KEGS will make things extremely in

Tigers and Clevelands. The Yankees
surely will be improved from time to
time and in the long run they prob
ably will command wholesome respect

TENDLER A SENSATION
Battle With Willie Jackson Monday
Night Will BE EX-Newshoy'S First
Start i'll Fifteen Round Bout.

New Haven, April 27.-Lew Tend
Ter, the Philadelphia sensation light
weight and the most talked of box
err in the world, and Willie Jackson
the New York lightweight, who
knocked out Johnny Dundee in q
round, perhaps are wondering how
they will go over the 15-round route
to q decision. These noted battlers
are to clash to Il decision over the
long course at the local arena next
Monday night, under the direction of
the Temple Amusement company and
the boxers, as we'll as the patrons of
the game, wonder how they will be-
have. For Tender has never been
called upon to box over such a course
as Is rounds and Jackson has only
been once. They have both spent
much TIME in the six round sprints,
while Jackson has had three battles
over the 2 round route.
On June S, 1917, Jackson knocked
out Chick Sinner in the 18th round of
a hard fight, in Boston, which showed
the little fellow did not blow up at
the close of the bout but was strong
err than ever He went the whole IL
rounds at top speed and when it. came
to the last round, got the jump on

On July of the same year, jack
son went II rounds with Eddie Wal
lace in Boston and although he losr
the decision to the clever veteran bat
tier he was credited with putting up
a fine showing. On October cath
Jackson boxed Barney Adair IL
rounds in Providence, and won the
decision over one of the toughest
lightweights in the game. jackson
has boxed many ten FOUNDERS, but IL
rounds was his limit until he met
Dundee here.
So it can be seen that patrons of
the Temple A. c., will see Tender
next Monday night in different role
than he has ever appeared in before
and the long distance bout is attract
ing the undivided attention Of the
boxing world. It is conceded by all
boxing experts that the bout is the
most attractive match made by Il box
ing club in some time and it should
draw the largest house ever known in
the east.

Robins Lose Again.

Brooklyn, April 27.-The Superbas
backslid In a disheartening manner at
Ebbets Field yesterday afternoon,
when they were trounced by the
Giants by IL to 5 in a game in which
spectacular hits and weird errors or
omission and commission predom-
mated. It was the ninth straight vic-
tory for the Giants.
The FYatbush recruits were never
in the hunt and would probably never
have scored more than two runs but
for some fantastic fielding errors by
Fletcher and Young in the sixth
frame. The two runs they collected
in the eighth were earned with the
stick. The Brooklyns hit Demaree
with great freedom from the opening
inning, but until the sixth, when they
made two hits after the side should
have been out, they failed to get their
drives into safe territory.
