STRANGERS HITTING
 HELPS INDIANS WIN
Iris Uses Bludgeon With Effect
 Against Giants

Dallas, Tex, April 5.-Tris Speak CTS big bludgeon proved too much for the Giants yesterday afternoon, and the National league champions were keeled over for the first reverse in 1918 by the Cleveland Indians. The Indians played some spry base ball against the lads from Manhattan Island and won the first contest of the ten game training trip series by a score of to 1. By a strange CO., Incidence. the Giants lost the first game of their exhibition series to the Detroit Tigers last year by the same score.
 Speaker was the deciding factor. He supplied the real dynamite to the Cleveland batting. The famous Texan knocked out two doubles, and drove in three of his teams four runs
 Fred Anderson, supposedly the most advanced of the Giant pitchers, went six innings against Fohrs men and was prodded pretty hard, es- pecially in the fifth, when the 1n- 0ians knocked out two doubles and three singles, all clean line hits. But for a great catch by Burns in this inning and a fine throw to the plate by kauff, which nailed Speaker, the net Cleveland damage would have been much greater. Andy yielded four doubles and six singles in six innings, and only the sharpest kind of support prevented Cleveland from bling up a larger score. The score:

 Every incident of that final round of the fight is burned lndehbly Ill my brain. Those few minutes stand out as the most nomentous Of my ca reer They were lived more than 2S years ago yet not one detail has gone from my memory. l could tell the story of the finish of that fight in my own way, but it seems to me that the fairest thing to do is to quote from the unbiased newspaper accounts of that contest. And here they are:
 ROUND TWENTY ONE
 sullivan came out of his corner slowly and as the two men got into close quarters Corbett feinted with 2 left as if it was intended for the stomach. The champion was tricked into dropping his guard to protect the stomach and this was the chance Corbett was waiting for. The Ca1- fornian put his whole force into a right handler that crashed full against the jaw of the champion. It was the first really hard punch that Corbett had attempted to land throughout the fight. Sullivan reeled under the inn pact of the blow, but, by splendid courage, kept to his feet. Realizing that the end of Sullivan was only a minute or so away, Corbett, like a panther was on Sullivan. The Cali fornian began to rain a shower Of blows upon the head and body of the dazed and beaten champion.
 Under the Corbett attack, Sulli- van, groggy and staggering, dropped his guard. Corbett shot a left to the face, following with three more to the same place. Steadying himself, the Californian put the whole weight of his body into a right handler which landed flush on the jaw of John l. Sullivan. The champion reeled, at tempted feebly to regain his balance and then fell full on his face to the floor.
 Sullivan lay on the floor until Referee Duffy had counted off seven seconds. Then, weak and blood be- sm cared, he made a pitiful effort to arise. Supported by his hands he got as far as his knees. In attempting to get to an upright position he top pied forward and lay there. Corbett had stepped back and was waiting to resume the attack if John l.. again got to his feet. But 1t was an un- necessary precaution.
 The champion who had reigned for ten years was dethroned.
 "Corbett the Kid from California, had accomplished what no other fighter over a ten year period had been able to perform. He had beaten the mighty John l.. Sullivan without receiving even a scratch and through 21 rounds of fighting had not been hit more than one real blow" Gro Be Continued Tomorrow

HERZOG ON FENCE.
Sees Haughton, But Still Tails to Sign
 Contract

Columbia. $. C., April 5.-After another conference between Charley Herzog and Percy Haughton of the Boston club yesterday, the announce ment was given out that the pair again had failed to reach an agree ment, Haughton left for the North immediately afterward. There is a tip that Herzog has accepted terms with the club and awaits 8 new form contract to be sent from Boston.
 Herzog demanded an extension of his contract with the ten day clause omitted. The Boston club refused to extend the contract and could not under the rules of the National Com- mission tender him a contract with the ten day clause out of it. They offered Charley a $500 bonus for this season and that is the bait which is said to have landed Herzog.
 Bunny Hearne, the Toronto pitcher bought by the Braves, reported to Stallings yesterday. Bunny still likes to refer to the twenty inning score less tie between Toronto and Jersey City several years ago in which he worked the full twenty innings.

Austin Tex, April 5.-The Boston Red SoX made a batting holiday oi the ninth game with the Brooklyn Dodgers on the University field yes terday, winning by a 10 to score. The series now stands to 2 in Bos- toms favor. The short fences were lle for the American league sharp shooters and they bombarded the barrier with a concerted fire that made the 1,500 students from the aviation school, who were guests of the clubs, talk about a German at tack.
 The Red Sox poled out nineteen hits off Griner and Creney, Uncle Robbies pair of spitba1l aces. Hooper slammed Griner's first offering over the short left field fences for the circuit and tripled in the fourth with two men on. McInniS also poled one over the left field barrier in that in. ming. Wyckoff did the same with Cheney's pitching in the eighth. Dave Shean was the swatting king of the day. The new Sox second baseman got five hits in five times at bat. They all were clean drives over the infield, three to left field and two to right. Hooper got a homer, a triple and single, and called it a day. The score:

RED CROSS DRIVE
FOR WAR NURSES
Is NOW ON
ALLOTMENT OF PACIFIC
COAST DIVISION 610
To Get That Number There
Should Be Enrolment of
at Least 500.

The Pacific division of the
American Red Cross has extend
ed it's drive for nurses to con-
tinue throughout the week, ac-
cording to the announcement
made by Miss Lillian L. White,
director of the Bureau of Nurs-
ing for the division.
Miss White \ figures that at
least 800 applications must be on
file to assure the requisite num-
Der of 61O enrollments. From
all accounts there have not yet
been 800 applicants. In fact it is
doubtful if over the 610 allot-
Iment has been covered even by
applications.
There seems to be a question
on the part of many nurses as
to whether they will have the
same standing by enrolling
through the Ped Cross as they
would have if they enrolled di-
rectly with the Army and Navy.
Surgeons General Gorgas of
the Army and Braisted of the
Navy have asked the Red Cross
to enroll these nurses. They will
be a part of the Army and Navy
forces and come under Army and
Navy regulations. The enroll
ment was put into the hands Of
the American Red Cross because
it was eRee Eganizatiou
was better equipped to get the
desired results in the shortest
possible time.
1t will be necessary for nurses
to file their enrolment applica-
tions before next Saturday.
