PLANTERS WIN ON
 MURL|NS' ERRORS
Good Pitching Features Game -Watson's Hard
 Luck Still Holds.

New Haven, June 26-Jack Flynn and his noisy Planters played a re- turn engagement to these parts yes terday afternoon and succeeded in gaining another cheap victory over the House of Dugan, this time by a score of to 1. Watson pitched one of his usually good games, in fact, one of the best of the year, but his teammates fell down on their end by contributing some loose fielding in the seventh inning and the Planters push ed over enough runs to decide the is sue. This weird exhibition of fielding proved the turning point of a great pitching duel between Watson and Garry Fortune. Both twirled brilliant ball but Fortune was accorded super ior support.
 New Haven forged into the lead in the opening round through a single by Leid, a double by Nutter and an out, holding it until the seventh when Torphy and Miller conspired to lose the game by poor infield work. Bates opened the disastrous inning by hit ting a sharp grounder to Torphy who made brilliant stop only to throw poorly to first. Flynn hit another roller to Torphy whose throw to first was perfect this time, but Miller dropped the ball. Oakes sent both runners along with sacrifice for the first out. Mickey Devine, former Murlin, who was recently acquired by the Planters, also hit to Torphy and he. made a hurried throw to the plate, the ball landing several feet in front Of FjGra and rolling out of reach. The throw accounted for two runs and gave New London the verdict. In the ninth the Planters sewed up the game by getting their only earned run on a i double by Bates and a single by Flynn. The score:

Steel League Planned
 Big. Raid on Reds

New York, June 26.---Agents of the Steel League are busy at the Polo Grounds. They are offering players all sorts of financial inrucements Divers stars have been asked to name their own terms and the agents do not take one nay as final. A player was approached three times in as many days. He got rid of the pest by threatening bodily harm. A pitcher for one of the New York clubs has been asked to fill out his own con- tract to work for a shipbuiIding team. He is not in the draft and he would gain financially by the change, but he will not accept the offer.
 The older men know that when this war is over---and that will be quite soon---the doors of organized baseball will be closed to those who jumped their contracts. They know that their futures are wrapped up entirely with organized baseball, and those who feel that they still have several years of efficiency in their arms dare not make the change. In the main they do@not care to change, for they
 do not believe in contract jumping. When the Reds were here on their
 recenE trip the agents planned a
 wholesale raid on scale never even
 approached in the palmiest of Federal League days. -Blackburne was asked l to accept a contract far in excess of his Cincinnati terms and to act as the
 intermediary for signing Lee Magee,
 Ed Roush and others. Blackburne not .only refused, but he nearly annihi- lated the unlucky agent,

BABE RUTH GETS NINTH HOME RUN Red SoX Knock Russell Out Thomas Also Poles
 Out 4 Bagger.

New York, June 6-The Babe Ruth menace broke out again at the Polo Grounds yesterday, and the home-run expert made his ninth circuit smash of the season. During the course of the afternoon the Red Sox won the argu- ment, to 3, and increased their lead. Ruth's home run came in the first in ming before Allan Russell had found his bearings. With two out and Whiteman perched on first, the Tank pitcher grooved the ball for Ruth, and if the right-field grand stand hadn't been in, the way the ball would have gone down to 125th street.
 Ruth's bruising belt sort of knocked all the gumption out of Russell, and in the fourth stanza the Red SoX bats waved wildly and Russell was bumped right out of the game, Joe Finneran coming in to stop the batting melee. Joe did pretty well until the eighth, when Thomas surprised himself and everybody else by smacking a home run into the grand stand.
 The Tanks raised the hopes of the crowd in the ninth with a promise of another eleventh-hour rally, but it didn't get very far. The burden of the rally was placed on the Yankees lat est acquisition, Ham Hyatt. In the old days when Hyatt gamboled on the green for the Pirates and the St. Louis Cardinals he had the range of the right-field stand and occasionally prod ded home run out into that neck of the forest. Ham same to bat in the ninth yesterday as a pinch hitter for Finneran, with two runners aboard and with two out. His metropolitan debut consisted of high rocket into the mitts of Babe Ruth in centre field The Tanks showed signs of life in the sixth. Peckipaugh got hit to short and went to second on Bakers ouS at first. Pratt rapped a three bagger to deep right, scoring Peck, and Pratt trotted home when Pipp doubled | to left. Bodie and Marsans both went
 out by the sky route and the rally was over.
 With one out in the eighth, Thomas
 got his home run, and that ended the Boston scoring activity. The Tanks promise in the ninth came when with one out Bodie walked and went to sec

Benny Makes Britton Hang on in Fourth Both Boys Under Weight.

Philadelphia, June 26-In a sizzling six round bout at Shibe Park 1asr night, Benny Leonard, lightweight champion, easily outboxed Jack Brit ton, the former welterweight king. Benny appeared stable worn in the early part of the contest but found himself as the bout progressed and had Britton in bad way in the fourth and fifth. Away to a bad start, Ben ny came so strongly after the third that his margin of victory was greater at the end than it was in their ten round mill in New York last year. Leonard scorded in three rounds Brit ton in one and two were even.
 During the early rounds it largely was duel of lefts, in which Britten showed the best judgment of distance and reached the target the oftener. Jacks semi-crouch position and his habit of pulling away from the punches seemed to bother Benny con- siderably. Britton was right on edge from his recent battles, while the light boxing Leonard has been doing with the Camp Upton soldiers seemed to have slowed him up. ---
 In the fourth round, however, Ben ny found way of fathoming Jacks defence. Crowding in close, Benny hooked his left in a corkscrew fashion half hook, half uppercut to the jaw. Britton could not block it, and time and again the lightweight king crafti- ly edged in on Jack and curled his left to the jaw. Each time it sent Britton back on his heels. Then when Jack ,%,-;,, . k$- left Leonard would straighten him up with crossing rights.
 Britton Hangs On in Fourth Af-
 Leonard had Jack cIinching and hanging on in the fourth and fifth to save himself. To many it looked as if Benny purposely down in the sixth. Certainly that corkscrew left with which he had done so much execution was kept we'll under leash in the con- cluding moments. -i
 Britton was worn and spent and more of Benny's lefts would have fin ished him. Britton is a eonsun\ ate ring general, however, and he went solely on the defensive. He became an exceedingly hard target to land on Bxers Are Under Weight E Though the big bout was scheduled to be staged at o'clock the curtain raising preliminary was not put or until after S:45 o'clock. At that time the aftergIow was so strong lights were not needed, though for formal | ities sake the arc lights directly over the ring were turned on. It was an nounced that Britton easily had made , the weight Al pounds at s o'clock Jack did not budge the scales, whitf were set at that weight. Leonard's exact poundage was not made public With the scales showing at 138 pounds Benny hoped on the platform and the index did not give a tremor. Leonard weighed about 136 pounds and Brittor 139.

Kansas City, June 26,-Jess Willard has steped out of the squared ring for the duration of the war. The champion is now a suburban resi- dent of Lawrence, Kan, and is es- saying a new career in the oil fields

Three Infielders
 Signed By Boston

Boston, June 26-I1d Barrow is taking steps to protect his Red Sox from the draft and the Yankees. In recognition of the fact that McInnis Scott and Thomas all are in Class 1 Barrow yesterday purchased a substi- tue for each of these players. The newcomers are Bluhm, Stansbury and Barbare. from the New Orleans club of the Southern League, which is to disband on Friday.
 While none of the three are 300 hitters they are experienced f1elders and immune from a call into the ar my. Bluhm went South with one of the American League clubs two years ago, while Stansbury and Barbare are former big leaguers, having worked with Cleveland.
 Should any of the Red Sox be call ed the task of the Yankees will be all the simpler. With Pipp the only Tank likely to be drafted before the season is over and Ham Hyatt ready to step into his shoes the Huggins outfit looks likely a decidedly pretty bet for the flag.

RUTH MAY HAVE
 TO RETURN TO BOX

Ed BarrowS S plan to make an out fielder out of Babe Ruth appears to be in line for a revision. Ruth as d the Boston club than Ruth as a pitcher every fourth day and Bar row was quick to recognize the fact. With thrte dependable pitchers at his call and two or three second string boXmen capable of doing a turn in the box, the plan had it's ad- vantages. But now a pitching prob- lem confronts the Boston manager and Babe may have to go back to it's pitching staff.
 Dutch Leonard has left the Red Sox. The Yetetan southpaw has talk en a position with a Fore River Ship building Co. and will do most ofg his pitching in the future for the ship yard boys. Now and then he will drop over to Fenway Park to pitch a game for his old team, but as far as regular service with the Sox is con- cerned Leonard is lost. That leaves the pitching burden on the shoulders of Joe Bush and Carl Mays, with Sam Jones SnOWlnS SlSnS or whining HIS spurs, so Barrow has come to the conclusion that Ruths great pitch l ing ability must be utilized. As Babe cannot retain his pitching skill an6 work three of every four games ir the outfeld, it appears that he vii have to give up outfielding.
 Ruth is on the ailing list at tht present time. His left wrist is en cased in a bandage and well paintef with iodine. Crashing into the stand at Detroit proved painful to the bis slugger and has impaired his abilit! | to pitch as well as to swing bat.

ENGLISH KING IS LEARNING TO THROW

London. June 26-King George is learning to throw baseball in preparation for his appearance at the game between American teams on July 4 when he will pitch out the first ball.
 At the request of the King, Arlie Latham former major leaguer, who will umpire the Fourth of July game, sent the king regu- lation baseball. The next day La tham called at the palace and gave the king a lesson on how base ball should be handled. The prop CT form in pitching was rather hard for the king, as he is used to the cricket type of throw, but the royal student finally began to get the right swing. He has since practiced in his spare moments on blank wall in the garden.
