YANKS WILL PLAY
RED SOx SUNDAY.
First Game Between Major
League Clubs Arranged
for Harrison Park.

The major leagues have decided to
play Sunday ball at Harrison in spite
OF the protest of the new Interna-
tlonal league, and the American
League announced yesterday that the
Yankees and the Boston Red Sox
would play there on Sunday at three
O'Clock. This practically means a
death blow to International League
ball in Newark and Jersey City on
Sundays during the coming season.
AS the new circuit has paid up its
obligations and has been granted ter
r1torial rights by the minor league or
ganization, it is now believed that the
National Commission will not block
its future. 1t was explained, however,
by baseball official yesterday that
the major leagues in bringing about
baseball peace, which was slowly
pushing the International League
into oblivion, assumed an obligation
of 500, 900 in taking over the Federal
League Park in Harrison, and to get
something back on this large item
they will play major league games
there
This plan of the National and Amer
ICdIl DedS u6S was IOTInuldIeQ SOIn6
time before the organization of the
new International League, at a time
when the old Barrow circuit had
practically gone out of business. At
the time that the majors decided to
play at Harrison there had been no
effort to form the new circuit.
A schedule will be worked out for
! the Sunday games, SO that the dates
will be evenly distributed between the
: Yankees, Giants, and Brooklyn club.
The game on Sunday between the
Yanks and Red Sox will be dropped
from the schedule later in the season.
Mondays game at the Polo Grounds
between these clubs will be played as
usual.

RUDOLPH WANTS
TO LEAVE BRAVES

Dick Rudolph, one of the Braves
best pitchers, still refuses to sign
contract and is anxious to be traded.
The Braves cut Rudolph's 1917 sal
airy to $4,000 when they sent out their
contracts two months ago. Rudolph
returned his contract and said that
he would not play ball. The Boston
clubs offer then was reduced to
$4,000, and Rudolph was notified that
he could sign or retire The noted
pitcher believes that he is worth at
least $4,000 for the season. If no
National League club is willing to
pay this money, Rudolph says that
he should be allowed to go to one of
the American League clubs. But Ma
tional League men declare that he
will not permitted to leave their cir
cult.

Here and There

RUDE Oldring couldn't stay in Sc
clusion, baseball has life on a farm
beaten city block.
Earl Hamilton found it almost i'm
possible to score a victory in the
American League last season, but he
is getting away we'll as National
Lacquer and the confidence thus gain
ed may make him a valuable pitcher
for Pittsburg
Peter Kilduff of the Cubs is going
to be a deep sea warrior. He ex-
poets to be called any day and will
go to the submarine base at San Pc
dro, Cal, when the call comes.
Who can stop the Giants? Perhaps
this question will be answered when
they go West.
The Cardinals have released pitcher
Earl Howard to the Milwaukee CLUB
of the American Association.
Gen Paulette is the leading slugger
on the Cardinals. He is batting over
400.
Pitcher Jack Scott of the Braves
has undergone an examination by the
club physician and has been told that
he cannot play ball this year. An
injury to his right wrist sustained in
an automobile accident is the cause.
He has returned to his home in South
Carolina.
Just as Earl Ying1ing was prepar-
ing to board a train for his home in
Lebonnon, O., to answer his draft call
he received a telegram that he need
not report for the present. Yingling
has a wife and son.
Connie Mack is one of the latest to
lose a player. Outfielder Bailey, who
reported late this spring and had no
real chance to distinguish himself, has
returned to Texas to take up army
work at Camp Houston.
Casey Stenge1 began to hit home
runs early in his career as a Brook
Ignite and he has repeated at Pitts
burg. A long drive to the center field
fence carried Casey around the paths
in the first series of the year.
Outfielder Jack Smith of the Car
dinals has received word from his
draft board that he probably will be
included in the list of draftees to be
called about May 9. Smiths home is
in Chicago.
Tim Hendryx, who was sent to the
Browns in the deal involving Lee Ma
gees transfer to Cincinnati via the
Yankees, has been leaid up with an in
jured ankle. Infielder Pete Johns of

BIG PURSE FOR
GOLF MEETING

Rumor has it that there's golf
club in the West which has offered
to guarantee $1,000 to the Red Cross
if Crales Evans and Jim Barnes will
play in an exhibition match over their
course on July 4. 1t has also been
said that in an effort to promote in
terest in Red Cross matches in In
dependence Day, the crack golfers
of the country will be portioned to
play exhibition contests either between
themselves or local talent. If such
plan is carried through large gal
leries should turn out at every club.

FISTIC HISTORY

One of the greatest "might-have-
beens'' in ring history was Hank Crit
fin, a mulatto boxer, who died at Ann
Arbor, Mich, seven years ago today.
With more money for proper train
ing and expert management, Hank
might have developed into a cham
pion heavyweight, for he was one of
the fastest and gamest pugilists of
his time. Jim Jeffries fought his
first professional battle with Hank as
his opponent 20 years ago in Los
Angeles Griffs later years were
spent in teaching boxing to the youths
of the University of Michigan, and
very successfully and Travelled as a
minstrel
Hanks best fighting days were spent
in California, and his principal in
come was derived from acting as
sparring partner and trainer to more
successful boxers. He served in that
capacity to Bob Fitzsimmons, and
helped condition the Australian for
his bout with Jeffries. Griff fairly
idolized "Ruby Robert" and as cord
tally hated Jeffries. Jeff and Griff
first mingled in the ring in 1893, when
lad of eighteen. 1t was Jeff's first
battle, while Griff was an accom-
plished ring general. The colored
man made a monkey of Jim during
the first part of the mill, but Jeff
waded in for more, and in the four
teenth round put a blow over that
After Jeff had defeated Fitz and Cor
thousand dollars to any man who
could stand before him for four
rounds. Hank accepted the challenge
and the exhibition was staged in Los
Angeles in September, 1901. jeff
han an advantage in weight of forty
pounds or more, but it didn't help
him any. The smiling Hank danced
out of the way of Jeff's rushes, oc-
casionaly landing a singer. During
one of Jeffs bull-like rushes Hank
saw an opening for his punh, and sent
the human mountain to the floor. Jeff
was up in few seconds, wilder than
ever, but Hank kept out of way with
out apparent effort and stayed the
four rounds, getting away with Jeffs
thousand. The following year Hank
took on Jack johnson in two battles,
one of fifteen and the other of twenty
rounds, and got a draw decision in
both.
Fifteen years ago today, May 2,
1908, Stanley Ketchel knocked out
Kid Tracy in the first round at Butte,
Mont. This was the first real ring
battle of the future middleweight
champion of the world, although he
had previously engaged in number
of impromtu bouts as a bouncer in
Butte dance hall.
Young Ketchel, as he called himself
then, had little training as a boxer,
but he was a natural fighter and he
polished off Tracy, a bigger and more
experienced man, with the greatest
ease. A few months later Ketchel
was matched with an innocent young
fellow who called himself Nose La
Fontise and who disclaimed any par
ticular knowledge of boxing, but who
in reality was clever man at the
game He got the surprise of his
life when Ketchef weathered all his
storms of blows and then knocked
him out in the twenty-fourth round.

CORONER PHELAN
FINISHES INQUESTS

Coroner ]. J. Pnelan has completed
his inquiry into the death of James
McQueeney, who was killed by fall
ing pile of lumber while playing in the
yards of the Park City Lumber Co.,
and his finding will be accidental
death. There was nothing to show
anyone was criminally liable for the
accident.
Coroner Phelan also heard further
testimony in the case of Dominick
Serena of Grand street, who was
killed about a week ago by an auto
mobile in Main street. There is moth
ing in this case to indicate other than
accidental death, as the boy ran d.
rectly into the ath of the automobile.

Duke P. Kahanamoku, the famous
swimming champion from our island
territory Of Hawaii, is going to make
our other swimmers speed up this
summer. He is coming all the way
from Honolulu to uphold his worlds
championship standing by competing
in SO and 100 yard swims in the
United States.
Kahanamoku is by far the best
short distance swimmer in competi-
ton and he holds practically every
title for the so and 100 yard yard
swims, covering all sorts of strokes.
1t isn't often that the duke is beaten
and on those days it is almost certain
that he is not fit. To see him glide
through the water in race is more
than enough vindication for his great
skill
