C|NCY AGAIN
TAPS GIANTS
Inefectiveness of Pol Per
rift Gives Matty Team
Edge By 5 to l..

Cincinnati, May 18-The ineffect
iveness of Pol Perritt, coupled with
the inability of his mates to connect
with the offerings of Rube Bressler,
cost the Giants yesterdays game with
the Reds by score of to 1. It was
the Reds third successive triumph
over the New Workers and the eighth
consecutive victory for Matty's men.
Bressler was a bit shaky at the
start, and the Giants reached him for
a run in the first inning, but the
southpaw soon steadied down and al
lowed only four hits in all. Young
worked him for a pass in the opening
frame, and advanced to the middle
station when Bressler tossed out
Kauff Burns raped the ball to the
short field, but the pellet struck
Young on the leg, automatically re-
center, putting Burns on third, and
George and Heinie then worked a
double steal, George scoring.
The Reds knotted the count in their
half of the same inning. Groh singled
to left and Lee Magee singled to right,
Roush's sacrifice advancing the run
ners. Rodriguez went over back of
second base for Sherwood Magee'S
grounder and threw him out at first,
but Groh scored on the play.
Perritt retired the Reds in regular
order in the second inning, but he lost
his grip in the third and was der
ricked. Bressler singled through the
box and Groh singled to left, after
which Lee Magee poled looping sin
gle to short centre, filling the bases.
That spelled the end for Perritt, but
Fred Anderson, who relieved him,
didn't have any more on the ball than
did Pol. Roush hit to Holke, whose
throw to Rariden forced Bressler at
the plate, but Anderson couldn't get
the ball over for Sherwood Magee,
who walked, forcing in Groh
Griffith then singled to right, scor-
ing Lee Magee and Roush and putting
Sherwood Magee on third Then he
cantered to second on Young's throw
to the far corner. Neale dumped a
bunt in front of the plate, which Rar-
iden fielded, throwing the batter out,
but in so doing he left the plate IN
covered and Sherwood Magee scored.
Cecil Causey relieved Anderson in
the fifth and prevented further scor-
ing on the part of the Reds.
The Giants had few opportunities
to score, once Bressler settled down
to work, but failed utterly to take ad-
vantage of even the few they had.
One of these opportunities occurred
when in the fifth inning, Thorpe.

MANY SURPRISES
IN DAYS Event
j Luck Was Big Factor in
Both Races With Widen
er Horses Running.

New York, May .1S-George D.
Widener, the Philadelphia sportsman,
narrowly missed gaining dual brackets
yesterday when the second days pro-
gram of the Metropolitan Jockey Club
was run off at Jamaica. AS it was, he
was responsible for one of the shocks
: in series of surprises that had the
form players all at sea.
Luck was a factor in both of the
races in which Widener horses were
battling for the money, and, after be-
ing on the side of the Philadelphia
I in the maiden race for three year olds,
: Dame Fortune withdrew her favors,
so that the Widener entry, Columbine,
was beaten a short head in the Ari-
IONA Handicap, which was the feature
of the card.
The Widener colors were dominant
in the third event, in which fifteen
horses that had proved disappoint-
ments as two year olds went to the
post, with M. /. Schwartz's Common
Law and the Greentree Stables De-
badou the most fancied. Odds of Is
to 1 could be obtained at post time
against the Portuguese, an import
ed horse entered by Mr.. Widener, and
W.
with all kinds of bad racing luck, The
Portuguese had plain sailing all the
way and came through in the stretch
to win by a length from Common
Law. Debadou also was in close quar-
tiers most of the way, but managed to
finish third, two lengths behind Com
mon Law.
In the race for the Arizona Handi-
I'll, >.
Columbine was well supported for the
scramble over five and a half fur
longs, in which the Beverwyck Sta
ble's Ina Frank was favorite and Top
O. tn Morning second choice There
was a jam on the back stretch which
l. Leavitt's Arnold quickly drew clear
to open a big gap
Meantime Columbine and lima
Frank had all manner of trouble, SO
that when the stretch was reached
the Bererwyck representative was
forced to fall back Ensor had a
clear path then with Columbfne, and
the fiIly made up SO much ground
that Buxton managed to land Arnold
the winner, by only head. Gloomy
Gus came strongly in the last six

Classic Event Will End Sea
son for Columbia, Penn,
Navy and Syracuse.

Annapolis, May 1S.-Columbia, Penn
sylvania, the Navy and Syracuse win
close their rowing seasons this after
noon with their participation in the
national intercollegiate regatta on the
Severn at Annapolis. For Syracuse it
is both the beginning as well as the
end of the campaign, for it's repre-
sentattves have Ipwed no race this
year. Today the Orange will send
only a freshman crew into competi-
ton, for the eight which has been
rowing as its varsity failed to come
UP to expectations and it was not en-
tered. Report has it that old Jim Ten
Eyck's freshmen have beaten the var
sity repeatedly by six and seven
lengths.
The regatta on the Severn will be
what the Poughkeepsie classic used
to be in other years. 1t will mark the
climax for the entire Poughkeepsie
company except Cornell, which is to
row it's only races for the season
against Princeton and possibly Yale,
too, on Lake Carnegie next Saturday.
Cornell as well as every other college
received an invitation to row on the
Severn. but for some unknown rea-
son the pupils of Charley Courtney
were not entered. The Harvard var
sity, which beat Princeton not so long
ago, last Wednesday applied to the
university authorities for permission
to make an eleventh hour entry at
Annapolis, but the request was re-
fused. The first objection raised by
the faculty was one of expense. Then
the oarsmen offered to pay al the ex-
penses out of their own pockets. Even
that plea failed and Harvard today
will have to be content with row on
the Charles in preparation for the
race with Yale on the Housatonic on

CUSTOMS MEN
BAR BALL TEAM

Toronto, May 1S-The refusal of
United States customs officials to per-
init members of the Toronto Baseball
Club to enter Canada from Niagara
Falls caused yesterdays International
League game between Toronto and
Binghamton, scheduled for this city,
to be postponed.
The officials were dissatisfied with
the evidence as to the standing of
the American members of the team
in the draft. All the team had pass
ports, but the customs men wanted
papers from local exemption boards
in reference to the American play
ers.
The managers of the Canadian
team expect to obtain the necessary
papers so that a double-header may be
played here today.

FISTIC HISTORY

Kid Mccoy stopped Dan Creedon
in six rounds in New York on May
IS, 1900, eighteen years ago today.
Creedon had been middleweight
champion of Australia and Of the
Pacific coast, and in 1897 had fought
Mccoy for the middlweight champ
ionship OF the world. In their first
battle Mccoy displayed his superior
fly throughout the contest, and in
the 18th round the Australians sec
onds tossed in the sponge. Creedon
believed he could still whip the Hoos-
Ter. and in 1900 Mccoy consented to
another match.s The australian
showed little of his old-time form,
and for five rounds Mccoy played
with him as a cat does with a mouse
The Kid could have stopped Creedon
any time after the first round, but he
waited until the sixth inning, when
he landed his famous corkscrew
blow. Creedon tried gamely to get
up, but his seconds threw in the
sponge and put and end to the un-
equal battle.

The Philadelphia Red Caps will be
with us again tomorrow afternoon at
Newfield park instead of the Detroit
or st. Louis American league clubs.
Secretary Jim Kelly has been after
both clubs for the past three days and
had the game with the Browns prac-
tically arranged until the manage
ment was notified that the club must
go to Washington tomorrow and play
Sunday game.
Detroit was willing to play here
but would not guarantee Ty Cobb in
the lineup. Without Ty in the works
Detroit is no more a drawing card
than the bonneville nine and Kelly
refused to listen to the Cobbless at
traction. If the Tigers came here
without the Georgia demon in the
lineup the fans would raise a howl
that could be heard in Port Jeffer-
son.

this season, taking only those players
who have. not gone to war. Nick
Cullop, Eddie Fitzpatrick, Eddie
Plank, Chief Bender, George. Foster,
Chef Thomas, Cy Williams and sew

Incidently, two of those on the

but neither has done any pitching
this season. They are Eddie Plank
and Nick Cullop. Plank has remain

St. Louis club has made several eff
forts to coax Nick away from the ag-

doesn't seem to be anything doing.
The contracts offered him have not

In reply to the note of President Wilson
of the 9th (l9th) of this month, addressed
to the Austro-F hungarian government and
giving the decision of the President to speak
directly with the Austro-1 hungarian govern
ment on the question of an armistice and of
peace, the Austro~f hungarian government
has the honor to declare that equally with
the preceding proclamations of the President,
it adheres also to the same point of view con-
tanned I'm the last note upon the rights Of the
Austro-Hungaran peoples, especially those
OF the Czecho~Slovaks and the |ugo-Slavs
Consequently, Austria Hungary accept
ing all the conditions the President has laid
down tor the entry into negotiations for an
armistice and peace: no obstacle exists, ac-
cording to the judgment of the Austro-1un-
garian government to the beginning of these
negotiations.
The Austro-F1ungarian government de-
clares itself ready, in consequence without
awaiting the result Of other negotiations to
enter into negotiations upon peace between
Austria-Hungary and the states in the oppos-
ing group and for immediate armistice
upon all Austro-f Hungarian fronts
