RECONSTRUCTION

Let the wheels Of industry hum!
Mankind turns, freed from the grip
of war, to rebuild the world.
CONSTRUCTION is the slogan of the
day. All signs betoken expansive de-
velopment-a busy world, resuming
old tasks and creating mex ones.
There must be no shackles on produc-
ton; no stint edloraon; bildSFlRNlFW
ton; no idle hours.
A new Americanism moves the ma
ton. The spirit of Service, electrified
by war, stirs in every heart. A new
faith promises new ideas, new stand
ards, new ideals, .......

Billy Roche was the referee Stanley was the favorite, but there were many who thought he would blow up when confronted by the game and clever Irishman. and con siderable money was wagered. For a time the Sullivan packers seemed Justified in their opinion, for Jack Twin displayed all of his ring gen e:alship for which he was famous and Ketchel was unable to land a telling blow.
 Youth had to be served as usual however and along about the if. tecnth round Sullivan began to show signs of wear and tear. KetcheTs con- stant pounding took all the spirit and ginger out of Jack and in the twen-

RACING RESUMED
 AT FRENCH TRACKS

Paris, May 6-An immense crowd sweltered in the first hot weather of the season at the Maison Lafitte race tracks yesterday and witnessed the first public horse racing in Paris since July, 1914. The attendance was so large that employees in the Mutuel betting ring were unabeI adequately to handle the throng. The principal event was won by an outsider. There were few American owned horses in the days races

KICK to the SOlar-pleXuS ana the pat tie was over.
 The first no-hit first base game in the history of modern league baseball was pulled off fifteen years ago yesterday, with Cy Young as the twirling hero of this remarkable contest Denton was officiating on the rubber for the Boston Red Sox and was pitted against the Philadel- phia Athletics. Throughout the nine innings not an Athletic got & hit or by other means set his feet on the first sack. This feat has been re- peated only a few times in league ball. In 1906 Tom Fisher, pitching for Shreveport, in the Southern League, prevented any Montgomery player from reaching first base.
 In 1908 Charles Evans, of the Hart ford club of the Connecticut League pulled off a similar stunt in a game with Bridgeport. Later that year Ad- die Jos broke into the hall of fame by pitching a no-hit game for Cleve- land in which no Chicago player even started around the bases. Cy Young pitched his first no-hit' game away back in 1897, for the Cleveland Ma tionals, and in 1908 he pulled off a similar stunt for Boston, but in both of these contests players of the op- posing teams reached first
 It was in a game between the Sass Club of Detroit and the St. Louis Reds, played at Iona, Mich., in 1870 that Jimmy Calvin of the Reds pitched the first no-hit game in which no player reached first base. which was also the first no-hit game in the history of baseball. Richmond, the great Worcester pitcher, was the first in the National League to pull off a no-hit-no-man-to-fi game.
 In 1879 and 1880 Richmond turned the trick three times, although but once when the Worcester club was represented in the National League. There was two such contestA in the National League in 1880, John M. Ward, then with Providence, being responsible for the other in a contest with Buffalo. That was the last such feat in any league until Cy Young revived the stunt fifteen years ago.

game and the pennant for Utica. The ball lodged in the spring of a farm wagon. The friendly rooters cried out, Its in the spring. and the Ut- ica players went chasing about look ing for a pool of water while Buffalo was scoring the winning runs.
 Buffalo was admitted to the Ma tionaI League in 1879 and remained in that circuit seven seasons. Among the famous Buffalo players were Brouthers, Dave Eggler. Jim O'Rourke. Richardson and Rowe. In the Players League of 1890, organ ized as a result of the ''brotherhood war" Buffalo won the cellar cham pionship Buffalo was a charter mem Der of the American League in 1900, with a club under the anagement of b shannon. and was the only eastern city in the league that year Buffalo finished seventh and was dropped at the close of the season.

 The Dooin-DooIan combination still is together. It seems impossible to separate the pair. They were together for years in Philadelphia, played to- gteher while on the Rochester Inter- nationals and now are with the Read ing team of the International League. Charley is bench manage and Mickey is his second baseman and field cap tain.
 Discussing tho deal by which Pete Schneider came to the Yankees last winter from the Reds and Ray Fisher journeyed from the New York Ameri- cans to Cincinnati a prominent Ma tionaI Leaguer said yesterday: When Schneider was waived out of the Ma tional League last winter everybody asked how could such a thing happen Yet Fisher, the man Cincinnati got in exchange, already has won three games for Moran. while Schneider's name has not yet appeared in a New York box score"
 The great work of Bill Rariden and Harry SalIee in Cincinnati this spring makes the New York fan wonder what really happened last season that these players were so desirous of Ieav- ing New York. At the close of the 1918 season Whoa BilI' and "SaI'' retired to their farms and announced that they had their fill of baseball. Both gave the same excuse for play ing with the Reds. Cincinnati was near their farms. and they could keep in touch with them. But what was the real reason that these players were so anxious to sever connections with McGraw?
 After flashing for several days the kids on the Phila deIphia Athletics l again are behaving like the hapIess | crews that Connie Mack has dragged around the American League ever since he dismantled his great team in the winter of 1914-1915.

 Washington made it four straight from the Athletics yesterday in a game that thrice was interrupted by 1 rain and finally had to be called in | the ninth inning. The score was 10 to G. Ragged pitching by "Jingling'' i Johnson and equally poor fielding in l the early innings gave the Senators d l lead that was too big for the Athletics | to overcome.
 l Chicago tied up game apparently
 lost to Cincinnati in the ninth inning yesterday by batting out six earned
 runs on nine clean hits. Then the 1 Cubs won in the twelfth by ' to 6. i Douglas was hit hard and made a l costly wild throw in the fifth inning, while Eller was invincible until the 1 ninth. The defeat cost the Reds the | leadership of the National league. Pittsburgh defeated St. Louis yes i terday by 5 to 2. Doak filled the
 bases in the third. and when Miller 1 dropped BoeckeTs infeld fly Carey 1 scored the run that enabled Pitts 1 burgh to win. The Pirates got two more runs in the seventh.

N I.THOUGH Buffalo is not now in rA ny major league circuit, there was a time when that city had teams in both the National and American Leagues. In the early days of the game. before professionalism had de- veloped, Buffalo had several stellar clubs. The old Buffalo Reds of the early sos had an international repu- tation, and played in the first worlds championship series, held in Detroit in 1865. Another famous Buffalo club of the early days was the Nigga ras. In a game at Buffalo in 1869 the Niagaras piled up the biggest score in baseball history, winning over the Columbias by a score of 209 to 10
 Buffa1o's first appearance in league ball was in 1878, as a member of the old International Association. Buffalo annexed the pennant that year after thrilling contest.

FOE COBURN defeated Mike Me aB Coole in sixty-three rounds at Charleston, Md, on this date in 1863. By his victory Coburn became the heavyweight champion of America. Coburn was a native of Ireland, but early settled in America, and started his. career by a seventy-round draw with Ned Price. In 1857 he whipped Harry Gubben, and then retired from the ring.
 When big Mike McCoole, of St. Louis claimed the American title, Coburn came back and defeated him, the Maryland batle lasting one hour and ten minutes. In 1862 CoburnN chal- lenged Jem Mace, the English cham pion, to fight the worlds title pulled off in Ireland, but the men The match was made, the bout to be could not agree on a referee and the affair fell through.

Gave LeVinsky Hard Battle at KarriSOn-Feared by Vein
 ert and Jeannette.
By ROGER TERRI.

Much rejoicing was evident in town today as the result of the matching of Larry Williams, the hard-hitting local ne4y yweignt, with Eddie Kinley of Long Branch, N. J., for one of the three aIl-star eight-rounders that will head the boxing show at the State Street Casino on Wednesday, May 14. While very little is known of Kinley in this city, the fact remains that he is not one of the heavyweights who can be passed along without serious consideration, for he is both a hard hitter and a fast man.
 Several weeks ago at Harrison, N. J., he met and gave Battling Le- vinsky a wonderfully fast battle. Kin ley is a dangerous puncher. Down in Jersey he has tackled such good men as Charley Weinert, Joe Jeanette, Bill Brennan and others of note. That Weinert has had all that he wants from Kinley is evinced through the fact that he recently turned down a lucrative offer for another match with that lad at the Jersey City club on Memorial Day.
 Eddie is a tall, lean fighter with a long reach and plenty of speed. In more than one respect he reminds the spectator of Harry Greb of Pitts burgh, for he jots in his punches from everywhere and with considera- bIe steam. For two rounds he had Levinsky baffIed by jumping in and out like a bantamweight and scoring all the while.
 Against Larry, however, he should show much better than he did against Lavinsky. Barney is a clever boxer, while Larry is a sDeedy Slugger. It is against this sort of battler that Kinley should show his best. He and Jean nette made a splendid showing at the Bayonne A. C. of Bayonne, N. J., a couple of weeks ago. Jimmy De Forrest, the well known trainer, is Fddies manager and he will handle him here. Both Larry and Kinley have gone into training. Williams is working out daily at the Remington Arms gymnasium.

 ing with the crack of the bat and the yells of the bleachers, American life is getting back to normal again The prophets of baseball are predicting a great year. After a period of strain, popular relaxationg draw great crowds. If the game doesn't pay thie year, it never will.
 Perhaps nothing in American life interests more men. The youth from the little prairie village finds the same keen enjoyment in it as the street bred metropolitan kid. No sectional line divides it's territory Presidents, governors, congressne n, all find pleasure in the sport. Types as diverse as the minister, the bar tender, the capitalist, and the loafer, applaud good plays with equal de- spair when the home player makes an error.
 Baseball owes it's interest to it's in- tensely competitive character and it's ! dramatic action. American every da. life is always a race. The people arc keenly Interested in competitive struggle of any kind.
 It is a wonderful diversion to l turn from the more serious rivalries ! of ones work, and witness the ath- i ietes struggling in fierce competition for the play mastery of their field. Also it is a marvellous display of ! the triumph of man over matter. The 1 low throw from catcher to second | base, as swift as. an arrow and ac- 1 Curately aimed as a bullet. has an l incompara beauty. The quick i thinking of the player, who in the | merest instant of time sees a situa- | tion which the ordinary man would ! need ten minutes to think out, also 1 Grouses keenest admiration. It's a | wonderful game. Passing years will ! increase rather than diminish its l hold.
