HOWE BAKER
MAY LAND JOB
WITH GIANTS

New Orleans, April 11-John Nc
Graw, manager of the Giants, last
night announced that he had released
Edison Hemingway, infielder, to the
New Orleans club of the Southern
League. Hemingway probably will
play third base for the Pelicans.
The release of Hemingway, who
came to the Giants late last season
from Houston of the Texas League,
leaves McGraw with only one utility
inf1elder, Joe Rodriguez, first base
man. The Cuban will be retained and
efforts will be made to land another
utility infielder of experience. Joe
Schepner now is with New Orleans,
and Howard Baker with Nashville,
may he picked for the job.

FISTIC HISTORY

1t was on April IL, 1892, that John
l.. Sullivan established a pugilistic
precedent by drawing the color line
and refusing to cross it to accept the
challenge of Peter Jackson. Later in
the same year Sullivan lost his title to
Jim Corbett, who, the preceding year,
had fought 81 round draw with the
big Australian black. If jackson had
not been cripple at that time, as the
result Of injuries received in fall
from buggy, he might have whipped
Corbett, and he could almost certainly
have defeated Sullivan If the latter
hadn't taken refuge behind the color
line"

If Jess Willard and Fred Fulton
