RUBE BENTON 28
 YEARS OLD TODAY

Rube Benton, the young Giant slab artist, who is known as "J. C." on his contracts and other official docu- ments, will celebrate his 2Sth birth day today, as he was born on June 27, 1890, at Clinton, N. c. He made quite a reputation with amateur and serni-professional clubs while still fn his teens, and in 1910 he landed his first league job with the Macon club in the Sally circuit. Rube created a sensation in South Atlantic circles and it wasn't long before several ot the major leagues were bidding for him. In June of 1910 Cincinnati got him from Macon for S3,500.
 Clarke Griffith, who was then the pilot of the Reds, used his find about dozen games during the remainder of the season, but Benton's work was only fair, and he didn't set the league afire The Rube was still wearing a Cincinnati uniform when the 1911 season opened, but, after a couple ot trials in the box, Griffths decided that his expensive twirler wasn't ripe for the main works, and ban1shed him to Chattanooga. In the South ern League that season Benton won IS and lost 13 games, and in August he was recalled to Cincinnati.
 When Hank O'Day took charge of the Reds in 1912 he made the Rube a member of his regular twirline staff, playing him 50 times. He broke about even Benton started strong = 1915, and then an accident put him on the blink. Benton had become passionately addicted to motorcycling and, although Joe Tinker, the 1915 pilot of the Reds, warned him seV- eraI times of the danger of such fad, the Rube went his merry way burning up the roads nearly every night. When the inevitable accident happened in the summer of 1913 Rubt was laid up for some time, and Tin ker suspended him for the remainder of the season, just to show him who was boss
 Benton stayed on with the Reds un- til August, 1915, when he was sold tc the Giants for $S,O00. The Pirates offered s4,O00 for the big fellow short ly after the Giants had secured ar option on him, and Herzog, then pilo
 of the Reds, pulled off the deal, bu McGraw appealed to the league au thorities and was sustained.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL
 EVERY TWO WEEKS

New Haven, June 27.---There is the
 possibility in the event of a decision
 being reached to organize football elevens at Hartford, Princeton and
 Yale next season that the big three may make an agreement whereby the eleVenS would practice two or three times week and play games every fortnight. In this way military and other studies would not be affected by football practice and at the same time the two practices a week, or say five practices in two weeks, would harden the players sufficiently to en- able them to undertake a schedule on the fortnightly basis. Walter Mace,
 Yale's assistant trainer, said yester- day that football could easily be
 played on this basis
 Only" he said, ''the agreement
 would have to be hard and fast among all the colleges who went in for the arrangement
 As to next seasons baseball pros poets at Yale, he said that everything
 was uncertain so far as material was concerned.
 "A good nucleus of the 1918 team are supposed to be returning to col lege in September" he said, t'but you
 cannot depend upon them to do so,
 and personally I am not looking to see many of them around when the time comes for spring practice The 1 freshman team is capable of develop
 ment, though. There are at least two
 fine pitchers in the class. They'll probably be back"

New York, June 27.---Matthew AL len, one of the last of the old gener- ation of race horse trainers, died at his home, No. 416 Fourth street, Brooklyn, yesterday. He was S3 years old Allen was known to followers of the turf of 30 years ago as the Kid Glove Trainer" He was born in Nashville, Tenn

He was very suc- cessful abroad, but returned to this country and took charge of the stable of Diamond Jim" Brady. He later trained for Ehret, who owned tho great thoroughbred Yorkville Belle.

Waterbury Takes Two
 From Senators

Waterbury, June 27.---Waterbury took both ends of yesterdays double header with Hartford, winning the first game 2 to 1 and the second to l. Rube Minor pitched both games for Waterbury and proved too much for the visitors. He allowed EeZ-cc.----- EZc-- but four hits in the opening tilt and five in the second fray.
 f There was considerable wrangling over Umpire Browns decisions by both clubs. In the second game First Baseman Cook had an argument with a fan on the side line which led to blows before the players and police interfered. Umpire Brown was crit icised for not banishing the Hartford player from the game, which led to much jeering from the spectators.
 Cosgrove, Waterbury leftfelder, was ordered to the bench when he pro- tested the umpire decision on play at second in the first inning.

MURLINS TRIM
 SPRINGFIELD, S-6
scanlon, Bridgeport Semi Pro, Pitching for New Ha-
 veN, Taken Out in Third

New Haven, June 27-New Haven closed it's home stay for the week by disposing of Springfield in yester- days baseball attraction on the Savin Rock grounds. Some hefty clouting the first three rounds gave the locals substantial lead although the vis- itors loomed up dangerous through out, falling but two runs short of tying the score by a thrilling ninth inning rally. New Haven scored six times in the eye-opener and finished the contest on thel ong end of an to $ score.
 scanlon, a Bridgeport semi-pro., started in the box for New Haven but lasted less than three innings. After being favored with to 0 lead, he proceeded to hand the game to hand the game to Springfield in the third round by forcing three runs over thep late through the medium of four bases on balls, hit batsman and couple of hits. This was too much for Manager Murphy who derricked Scanlon in favor of Tyler. Tyler held the enemy well in hand until the ninth when Springfield chalked up two runs on a hit batsman, a brace of errors by Torphy and Christie and single. A fast double play, engin- eered by Christie, prevented a possi- ble extra inning game.
 The locals knocked Martin, the Springfield hurler, from the mound before he could retire man in the first inning. Before his retirement however, the local sluggers gathered five runs on three singles, an error by Parent, two passes and a stolen base Lenahan, who succeeded Martin yielded one run before retiring the side and was also .rapped for singles i in the second and third innings which netted runs. From thief ourth inning Lenahan settled down to work ano held New Haven scoreless for the re- mainder of the game. Both teams as a matter of fact, garnered but two after the third inning, Tyler and Len ahan showing good form.
 Everett Nutter captured the hit ting honors for the day with a triple and single. His three-bagger in the second inning was followed by clear seal of home. Fielding honors were carried off by Miller, Christie ana ! Torphy.

Aleck Loses Hard Game Reiger Pitches Fine Ball Both Teams Give Cops a Rest.

New London, June 27-After win hing Il straight victories, Ferguson of Bridgeport met defeat here yesterday at the hands of New London in II innings, 5 to 4. The game was one of the most thrilling staged here this season. With three run lead, Bridge port from the very first inning looked like sure winner, but New London had three men on bases twice and at least one man on base in every in ming.
 With one out in the ninth, New London tied the score, making two runs on pass, a double and a single. In the eleventh with one out, Bates flied to Vim, who muged the fly and the runner got to second. Flynn hit to the pitcher and the play was made on Bates at third. / He was called safe by the umpire, and it was at first feared that another riot would ensue similar to that here last Satur- day when the same two teams played. Oaks bunted on a squeeze play and Bates scored. The score:

New York, June 26.---Davey Rob- ertson, erstwhile fielder of the New York Giants, and g. hard hitter of parts, will not come to the rescue of his team, now that Benny Kauff has been called by Uncle Sam.
 In answer to the question he sent the following short but decisive an- swer to reporters from his home in Norfolk last night:
 Will not report this season. Dave.''
 Robertson of course has the priv ilege of changing his mind, but judg- ing by his telegram he is not likely to do so. The Giants will have to struggle along without his big bat.

LEACH CROSS HAS A
 HEAVYWEIGHT FIND

The heavyweight discussion re- minds us of little news which came from Los Angeles yesterday. Coming direct from Leach Cross s physical culture emporium in the City of the Angels the informant told us that Leach was grooming "the next heavyweight champion of the world" Cross noticed the fellow on the beach at Venice one day and got it into his head that the stranger had the mak- ings of a fighter.
 Cross talked the notion into the strangers head, too, and now the big fellow is working daily under Cross's watchful eye. Leach will not give the coming champions name or antecedents. He says the fellow stands six feet seven inches on his arch supports, weighs about 275 pounds, is young, strong and willing to take all the money that should accrue to a heavyweight champion. Truly, he has the makings!

ROOT-CARTER BATTLE.

On this date in 1901 Jack Root won on foul from Kid Carter in the 18th round at San Francisco. Root and Carter were then among the leading contenders in the middle
 weight division, although neither achieved the championship goal, Soon after the San Francisco battle both Carter and Root were defeated by George Gardner, the great Irish middleweight. Gardner knocked out Carter in the 18th round at San Francisco, and a little later forced Jack Roots seconds to throw up the sponge in, the 17th round of a bout at Salt Lake City. Root, who was a Chicago man, afterward went into the heavyweight division, and fought another ex-middieweight of that per iod, Marvin Hart, for the heavy weight championship after Jeffries retired. Hart was the winner, but soon lost the title" to Tommy Burns.

This pre- vents the meeting of Fred Fulton and Jack Dempsey in this city.

HAMILTON MADE A
 BRILLIANT COMEBACK

Several major league pitchers have figured in unique comebacks this sea- son that have attracted more than the usual attention.
 Perhaps the most spectacular of all was that of Earl Hamilton, lately of the Pittsburgh Pirates and now a jack tar in Uncle Sams navy Ham ilton was a castoff of the St. Louis Browns. His work last year stamp ed him as a has-wuzzer, for he did not succeed in winning a game for Fielder Jones.
 Sent to Columbus, in the American Association, Hamilton showed little better form, but despite this fact Joe Tinker sold him to the Pittsburgh club, and had he stuck with the Pir- ates he-might rank as the leading southpaw of the National League to- day. Hamilton won six straight games for Hugo Bezdek's team and then said goodbye to his clubmates and left the team to enter the navy.
 Another comeback is Dan Griner, of the Robins. Griner is also a St. Louis .castoff, though he was with the Cardinals instead of the Browns.
 Miller Huggins asked for waivers on him last Fall, and Brooklyn re- fused to waive, so he became Dodg- CT. He is a big right-hander with a good spitball, and Uncle Wilbert Rob- inson is so well satisfied with his work that he is assured of a regular meal ticket in Brooklyn. Slim Love, who first joined the Yankees in 1916, failed to stack up as major leaguer until this season because he refused to take the game seriously. When Miller Huggins gos hold of Love and started after him hammer and tongs, the big pitcher l woke up.
