Collegiate Baseball
80 Years Old Today

Intercollegiate baseball had it's dim
beginnings SO years ago today, July
1, 1859, when the first contest be-
tween college clubs was Staged at
Pittsfeld, Mass. Amherst and Will
Gams were the contesting colleges,
and the former won by score of IS
to 80. It is an unhappy fact that
charges of professionalism marred
this first clash on the college dia-
mond, the Williams fans asserting
that the Amherst twirler was not a
regular student, but a ringer" This
allegation was not proven, and it may
have been baseless, but it is certain
that since then many a college nine
has not been like Caesars wife
above suspicion"
Since 1859 the colleges have played
an important part in the development
of the great American pastime. 1t
was in a game with Yale that Mat
of; Princeton pitched the games first
no-hit contest in 1875. The catcher
mask was invented by T. W. Thayer,
a famous Harvard player OF the T0's.
Curve pitching WIS effectually used
by college twirler before it was
taken up by the professionals. Many
other innovations and improvements
III baseball have originated with the
college teams. and in late years some
of the best players in the business
have been developed in the colleges
of America.

Merwfn Jacobson again monopolized
the spotlight. The versatile star Of
the locals executed a rip-roaring catch
in left field that called for much APP
plause from the big crowd that turned
out to witness hosti1ities. He also
added three hits to his big collection,
one of them netting two sacks. Billy
kopf was also a star performer, play
ing a stunning game at short and
started two double plays of the speedy
variety. o. Kopf, a brother of the
former Cincinnati player, jumped into
the fray at third and "Scooty' Match

SPENCER WINS
OVER KRAMER

Newark, N. j., July ARTHUR
Spencer, the Tortonto boy, won the
one-mile national championship BIZ
cycle race at the Velodrome, in New
ark, yesterday afternoon, beating out
Frank Kramer, Bob Spears and Aft
Grenda. Spencer, who quit in two of
the previous titular races before the
tape was reached, showed barrels of
speed yesterday and took Spear S
measure easily in the semi-final, and
completed the days work by leading
Kramer to the tape in the final by a
length. Spears defeated ALT Grenda
in the heat to decide third place.
Although Spears got only third yes
terday, he still retains the lead in the
standing of the riders for the cham
pionship. Spears has Is points, Kra-
mer II, Arthur. Spencer 10, McNa-
mara 8, Verri 2, Willie Spencer, Mad
den and Grenda 1 each.
Frank Whitney, riding for the New
York Athletic Club, won the half-mile
handicap for the amateurs, while Gus
Lang took the one-mile open.
Members of the Newark Fire De-
partment, led by Deputy Chief Towey,
made a collection from the crowd for
the Jewish War Relief Fund, and rea-
lized a goodly sum.

BY pitching his usual game, Alex
Ferguson turned back the Springfield
Ponies yesterday at Newaeld park by
the score of 20. 1t was a fast game
and both teams were on the hop at
all times. Alex gave his opponents
but three hits and at no time were
they in danger of scoring.
Paddy Green, who was on the
mound for the Ponies, held the
Americans scoreless for the first five
innings but in the sixth they got to
him for a pair of counters, Lai was
given free transportation to first

out a bunt advancing the third base

There have been many ringers in

of deception is by no means extinct
The methods of pugilistic ringers"

started the game back in 1928. It
was just 95 years ago today, July l,
1928, that Jem, who later became
champion of England, set the stage tie
pull of the first stunt of its kind in
ring history. Jem found it impossi-
Bile to get fight in London, and, as
he was short of money, he cooked up
q, little scheme 70 add to his roll.
With a couple of companions he
tramped to Bath, where the races
were to begin the first of July. On
the way they logged themselves out
in the garb of simple rubes, and it
was in this disguise that Jem reached
Bath, on the first day of the fashiona-
BILE race meet.
1t was the custom, during the race
meet at Bath, for the noble sports to
hang up a good purse for the local
yokels to fight for, and it was this
purse that attracted Jem to Bath.

JACK FLYNN BEST
PAID MANAGER

Jack Flynn is, according to reports
the highest priced salaried manager
in the Eastern league.
The leader of the New London club
IS drawing down $4,000 for his sea-
sons work.
What the salaries of the other
managers in the league is, has never
been made public.
Flynn works for Morton F. Plant,
a millionaire and great sportsman,
but whose sole aim is to bring the
championship to the Whaletown.
New London managers come and
go. This year Flynn gathered a gal
axy of reputed stars, many from the
big league tent including Frank

Brooklyn club and Lew Wendell

COLONIALS LOSE
TO FORT SLOCUM

" Fort Slocum, N. Y, July 1.---Closs
to 5000 people, including, besides the
soldiers of the post, many Sunday Wis
itors saw RAY Fisher former Yankee
pitcher, lead the Fort baseball team
to a to l victory over the New Ha-
ven Colonials of New Haven here
yesterday. True, the Colonial team
was a considerably weakened aggre-
cation, but the victory, nevertheless,
was a memorable one.
Despite the apparently sided
score the game was a most brilliant
affair. The New Haven club opened
the scoring in the third, but the SOL
ldters nosed ahead to a one run lead
the following stanza. The count stood
p to until the last two innings when
a combination of hits and errors,
mostly the latter, counted five more
tstllies.
Chief Bender twirled the first three
Innings for the Colonials and was in
wonderful shape, tanning five and al
lowing but one hit. Peterson, who
replaced him, was a little more easy
to solve, but his support was far from
the best. Fisher hurled a wonderful
article Of ball for the Slocum team,
he allowing but three hits in seven
innings, all of which came in the
third. Bell, ex-Brooklyn hurler re-
lieyed him and was touched up twice
in the last two innings, but famed
four. ,.-sf

Make Pros. Hustle

New York, July Professional
golfers in a four ball Red Cross match
at the Canoe Brook Country club
yesterday were put to, the test when
Isaac Mackie of the hove club and
cyril Walker of Shackamaxon only
defeated Jerome Travers and Max
Marston, the amateurs, after two ex-
ira holes. The match was won by
Mackie, who made the second hole.
the twentieth of the match, in 4.
The Canoe Brook course. as if is at
present, covers 6,573 yards, the inward
half being the 1ongest---3, sos. There
are also number of difficult holes
with plateau greens, and it is doubt
ful If harder hole than the thir-
tenth can be found anywhere in this
vicinity. In addition to it being $50
yards long, the hole is made more
troublesome by having two bitches
bisect the fairway, while the green is
severely guarded on all sides. Such
a course as this should be known well
by player, but Trayers had never
been over the present circuit.
This did not prevent the former ma
tlonal champion from doing his share
Of the work. For instance, after the
PIoo hdu Sd1Leu d I6dQ OF I'D at
the sixth hole, Travers won the ninth
in 3, so that the other side only turned
for home 1 up. The Upper Montclair
amateur squared accounts by winning
the tenth in 4. The professionals be-
came 1 up again with at the eIev-
enth.
Everybody came to grief at the diff
ffcult thirteenth, the hole being halved
in Z. Marston squared the match for
his side with a 8 at. the fourteenth,
and he placed his team up by win
ming the sixteenth in 3. A at the
seventeenth by Mackie made the
match all square again. They halved
the home hole in 4, Mackie and Mar
ston doing the honor.
| The first extra hole was ha1ved in
4, while Mackie at the next reached
the green in 2 and got another 4. the
others taking 5. The Canoe Brook
professional made the round in 81
Walker taking 49, Marston had 81

MURLINS EASILY
DOWN BOOSTERS
Hartford Downs Waterbury
Crime Shines at
Bat.

New Haven, July Danny Muir
phys crew of baseball artists expert
enced little trouble from Worcester at
the Lighthouse grounds yesterday and
in the course of an hour and half's
pastiming accumulated a matter OF
eight runs while the Massachusetts
boys were putting over a lone tally.
Our star slab artist, Watson, was on
the mound for the Murlins, and again
he pitched one of the good games for
which he is noted, letting the visitors
down with three hits that were wide
ly scattered. Bach, on the other
hand was lit Dn by our boys at most
opportunte moments, with the result
that the game was never in doubt
from the first inning, for in that
stanza the locals managed to push
three runs over. and from that point
on Worcester's attempts to tie the
score were so futile that the fans had
little chance to warm up.
Worcester started out like they
were going to make trouble. Dee, the
second man up pasting one of Wat
sons benders for a double. 1t was
only a flash in the pan, however, for
the next two were easy outs. New
Haven started in a businesslike man
ner and with the aid of four sin
giles and a base on balls scored three
runs in their half. Neither side did
anything in the second. In the third
DIE again got a hit, but again his
team mates failed him. The locals
again got busy in their half, and with
the aid of couple of errors by Bro
ply, the Worcester third baseman, a
pass on balls and hit garnered two
more runs.
The crowd was one of the best of
the season, which leads one to believe
that Eastern association ball is in
demand when the fans have the time
to get out and see it.
