HalChase for
indifference

Hal Chase, first baseman of the Gin
clnnati Reds, was indefinitely suspend.
ed yesterday by CHRISTOPHER Mathew
son, manager of the team, for indiffer-
ent playing. Sherwood Magee covered
first for the Cincinnati nine at the
Polo Grounds yesterday, and it ap-
pears more than probable that Sher.
wood will be kept at this post until tn.
abbreviated season closes.
The career of Chase as a big learuer
has been considerably checkered. The
4anks were the first team to get line
on the ability of Hal, who while yet in
ms teens was cutting wide swathes on
the diamonds of the Pacific Coast
League. The Yankee scouts finally
grabbed Hal. and he was the big draw
ing card for the local American
League team when it played on the
Hilltop Grounds
Hal at first delivered of his best, and
1T was some best. But too much &C.
claim and praise swelleS the young
ster's head to such an extent that he
aspired to the managership of the
Yanks, position he finally attained.
-
though it may be assumed that he did
his best
When the Federal League war broks
out Hal was one of the first Of the ma
jor league players to nbble at the big
money bait offered by the outlaw or
ganization. He Joined the Buffalo club
of the new league, and remained there
until peace was made in baseballdom
and the Feds threw up the sponge.
For long time Chase tried yainly
to land job with his old associates
Ban Johnson refused to permit his re-
entry into the American League, and !.
was not until Matty took pity on Hal
that the latter came back to the big
show. 1t was often said that Hal was
Matty's right hand man in the conduc.
of the Reds. and his playing al frs'
and at the bat led the Redland fan;
to hope that a pennant. so long hopeo
for in Garry Hermann town, mign'
finally be a reality.
Judging from the action taken py
Matty yesterday. Hal has reverted 70

Boxing News and Notes

among those who believe that when you
throw an Irishman and an Injun into
the same ring, there's going to be a
riot right there, and we always did
have a hankcring after riots looking

These two middleweights went hf-
teen boiling rounds TO a draw few
weeks ago, and so this time, of course,
they're madder than ever at each other,
and their managers have to keep EN-
locked up every night for fear they
might break loose and start fighting on
the first corner, with no ticket takers
around Because of this feeling Of
hectic rivalry between Harry and Chief,
the referee will give both boys a care
examination before they enter the ring,
lest they have bricks or scalping knives

Worlds Records
Are Broken at
Brighton Beach
kahanamoku and Kruger
Lower Marks for 100 and
125 Yards

Duke kahanamoku, the famous "hu-
man fish" from Honolulu, established a
new worlds record for 125 -ards last
night, when he defeated Leo Giebel, of
the New York Athletic Club, in the
winter pool at Brighton Beach. The
duke, using the Australian crawl,
thrashed through the water five lengths
of the tank in 1:12 As, completely
smotherlng the old figures of 1916 1-5.
At such tremendous pace did the
Hawaiian churn his way through the
water that Giebel was a full half
length of the tank in the wash when
the duke crossed the finish line. swim
ming we'll within himself. There was
some miX-up at the finish, because the
judges, F. W. Ruben and L. de B.
Handley, did not see the final touch,
but it is believed the record will stand
Another worlds record was broken
when Harold Kruger, another Hawaii
an. swan the 100 yards, using the back
stroke in 1908 36, displacing the old
figures by one-ffth of a second Krue-
ger G swan wan against King Troonesgaard,
who used The free style of swimming.
Lieutenant Ludy LANCER, national
22O-yard champion, defeated John Cur
rem, of the Federal Rendezvous, in a
special 200yard race, splashing through
the water in 2:28 and winning with
plenty to spare. Clarence Lane, ma
tional champion at 25 yards, defeated
Tad Reilly, of the n Y. A. c., in a So
yard race, covering the distance in
"a 1-5 seconds. Lane, who is also on
the Hawaiian team, showed the same
marvellous speed in the water that his
teammates did, but he was never
pushed to win, and therefore did not
have to approach the record figures to
cross the line first.
In the 50-yard "kid race" between
three eleven -yearold girls-Helen
Wainwright, Aileen Riggin and Mil

race all the way, with little Miss

That the Brooklyn Dodgers are

gained by the Chicago Cubs in bowling
to defeat in the second game of the

score was 3 to 2. A solid smash by

pally through errors by their oppo

the snapper ball. Weak fielding aided
the Cubs again yesterday in s-oring
both their runs, with Mickey Irolan
and Ivy Olson aiding in the cause.
However. these two hard working in
fielders more than atoned for their
foozles by shutting off two runs at the
plate and contributing double play.
The Dodgers again moved up the
runs of the championship race by their
victory. They are now tied with Phil

Chicago proved troublesome on sew
eral occasions in yesterdays contest,
but the sharp Brooklyn fielding npped
rallies in the bud. Especially ticklish
was the situation for Brooklyn in the
eighth, when the visitors perched run

out. One of Doolan's two errors of
the game brought about this uncom-
Portable aspect Chicago failed to
force runner home, Doolan helping
considerably by tossing out man at
the plate.
