GIANTS TROUNCE
 BALTIMORE TEAM
Orioles Overwhelmed By McGraw's Sluggers in
 Lively Contest.

Baltimore. April 1.-The Giants war 'clubs, which have been doing great damage during the last few days, continued to work in relentless fashion yesterday afternoon, the product being a choice collection of singles triples and hemers to the number of seventeen. When the afternoons alliance with Jack Dunn $ International Leaguers was concluded the New Workers were on the long end of score of Il to 6.
 Threatening weather an hour be- fore game time held down the at tendance, but nevertheless there were about 1000 fans on hand to greet McGraw and his band.
 McGraw's boys took the lead from the first round, and were never reached. It was rather one-sided battle, and as the game progressed McGraw put in a bunch of substi-
 tutes, so that when the final bel rang Benny Kauff was the only ono
 left of those who had started the
 game.
 The Giants broke the ice at the start. Burns pounded one to cen ire for a base and romped to thirC when Young hit past second on the | hit and run. George scored whe1 l Chase hit into a double play. l The home team made a bid at th' 1 outset, but failed to tally. Maise 1 doubled and went to third on a vii,

pitch, with none down, but the next three batters were powerless to help.
 Two more counters were put to the Giants credit in the third, when, af- Eer two were down, Burns and Young tripled and Chase hit for a pair of Of cushions. A one-base blow by Zimmerman, with errors by AIaisel and Honig, formed the combination which caused the Giants marker in the fourth.
 The fifth stanza was a great one all around. Causey started it by beating out one to short. and Burns walked. Nobody covered first on Young's bunt, and the bases were fuU. Chase lifted far out 10 Clarke, and Causey scored after the catch, the others also moving mp. Benny Kauff then obliged with a clean two-base hit to left. which sent Burns and Young scampering across.

 In 1883 the National League put teams In New York and Philadelphia, and in that year the MetroPolitans played in the American Association, New York thus being the first city to have two major league clubs.
 The first real baseball war broke out in 1884, when the Outlaw Union Association started with a cir cuit composed of Baltimore, Boston. Philadelphia, Washington, Altoona. Chicago. Cincinnati and St. Louis. This was one of the most disastrous seasons, financially, in the history of the game. Three of the Union Asso- ciation clubs went on the rocks, and were replaced by Kansas City. Mill waukee and St. Paul. After that came a period of peace, hut in 1890 the Brotherhood war broke out. The Players League was formed as a pro- test against the reserve clause and
 
 which the players objected, and clubs were placed in all of the National League cities. Both organizations lost money. and a peace was patched up.
 The American Association, dissatis- fed with the terms of settlement con- tinued the war another year. with competing clubs in Boston and Gin cinnati. The dove of peace hovered over major league diamonds for sev- eral years, but took flight when Ban Johnson appeared on the scene. After the American League had lured away many of the Nationals stars. and the baseball situation had been utterly demoralized, the National League ma Enates decided to let Ban in on 1 the game.

TOHN JACKSON defeated Daniel S Mendoza in nine rounds in Horn church, England, 124 years ago to- day, April 15, 1795. In this historic contest Mendoza, the Jewish Star of the East" at last met his maser. and the first Hebrew champion went down to defeat in a battle lasting only 1oh minutes. Jackson was popularity known as "Gentleman," and held his championship title unchallenged for three years. when he retired in order to devote his entire time to his box ing schools. He mum bered among his pupils Lord Byron and q host of other English notables, and had high social position. Jackson never entered the ring again after his easy triumph over Mendoza. The He brews in London were almost ruined by this bout, as they had wa gered immense sums on Mendoza. It was tho most scientific battle eIer fought up to that time. as Jackson was an expert in pugilistic art and Mendoza was scarcely less proficient. The mill was staged on the site at Hornchurch famous for centuries as the scene ot an annual wrestling contest.

BASEBALL MOCULS
 SEE DIRE CHANGES
Believe Fed Verdict If Sus- tained Means Death of
 National Commission.

Sweeping changes in the methods of conducting the business of organized baseball are to result from the verdict returned by a. jury at Washington on Saturday in favor of the Baltimore club of the Federal League, provided that the verdict is sustained on ap- peal, so it was declared Saturday by Ban Johnson, president of the Ameri- can League, and John A. Heydler, president of the National League. Alp peal will be taken, if necessary, to the Supreme Court of the United States. Appeal will first be taken to the Court of Appeals of the District of Colum- bia. As the case now stands. organ ized ball has been judicially declared monopoly, and faces payment of $240,OOO damages, the jury's verdict of $SO,000 being trtpled because the case was brought under the sherman anti trust law.
 Among the changes forecast by MT. Johnson and MT. Heydler, provided the case is lost on appeal to the high est tribunal, are these:
 Dissolution of the National Base ball Commission.
 Severance of relations between the American and National Leagues.
 Complete severance of relations be- tween the major leagues and the Ma tiona1 Association of Minor Leagues. MT. Heydler, in a telephone inter- view. stated last night that he believ- ed absolute severance between the majors and minors should take place at once. "It may be noted that this sever ance is practically complete now" he added.
 Mir. Johnson, in his statement, which was made at Chicago. also pro phesied, in event of losing the case on appeal, the revision of players con- tracts, by elimination of the 10-day. and reserve clauses. MT. Heydler did not care to discuss this point. MT. Johnson said further: The verdict, of course, is a blow to 1 baseball, but we are not particularly distressed, as it was nothing more

HE baseball season will opt

IT HE baseball season will open shortly under peaceful auspices. but it was not always thus, as old timers can testify, while even the Federal League has not been dead so long as to be entirely forgotten.
 The National League, father of all the leagues. was organized in 1876, and held the fields without opposition for several years. The old Interna- tional League, founded in 1877. and its successor, the National Association. launched in 1879. had circuits that did not conflict with the older organi- zation, and the same was true of the Eastern Association of 1881 and the American Association of 1882. The Eastern had clubs in Philadelphia

' \ THE recent death of D

IN THE recent death of Digger Stanley. one of England's former bantam champions, the ring has lost another of it's famous characters. Digger succumbed to stomach trouble fin q London sanitarium. He was one of the very few champions to win the Lord Lonsdale belt three times in succession, and so come into perman- ent possession of the trophy. Stanley paid a visit to this country in 1911 and boxed Frankie Burns 10 rounds in New York. He was q typical Eng fish boxer. knowing little about in fighting. but being highly proficient with a straight left. There was a diff ference of opinion as to the winner of the bout with Burns. but the best judges declared that Stanley deserved the decision.

During the early days of practicinE at the training camp Uncle Robbie used his veteran catcher, Otto Miller in the outfield.

Ping Bodie broke into baseball as an in1elder and apparently he never got enough of the infieId. For soma years past Bodie has been assigned to outfieId duty. but he never over looks an opportunity to get back into th~ first line of defense. When Pins was with Connie Mack he played several games at third base and did good work. The absence of Frank Baker from camp and an injury to Roger Peckinpaugh left a gap in the infield of Miller Huggins' Yankee regulars and Bodie was the first to volunteer as an inielder. He was assigned to the third sack and took keen delight in grabbing the ground CTS and shooting the ball to first base.

Hunter Goodbred, the young right handler who has been training with the Robins, has received plenty to do at the training camp. He should be able to stand a lot of hard work as he is six feet four inches tall and weighs about 22O pounds. Be cause of his great bulk the players have dubbed him "Tiny."

NOTES

Spending a few weeks with a ma jor league Club at a southern train ing camp is an old, old story with Joe Kelley, scout of the Yankees, who has just had his twenty-ninth session al this work. Kelley made his de hut as a professional back in 1889 and has been a visitor to the South almost every year since that time. He has been with the Baltimore, Brooklyn. Boston and Cincinnati clubs of the National League, madc some southern jaunts when he was an International League manager, and has just completed his fifth train ing session as an American Leaguer. Since booking up with the Yankees Kelley has engaged in training work at Savannah, Macon and Jackson vile, three cities which he visited years ago while an active player. JoH got into a uniform every day and has acted as an able assistant to Miller Buggins.

E T WAS 23 years ago. come tornor- row, that Tom Sharkey knocked out Joe Choynski in the eighth round at San Francisco. Those who saw this contest will never forget it. Tom was a raw, rude tar" just out of the navy, and with no reputation, while ChOynski was a finished and veteran boxer. The Hebrew had the advant- age in height and reach, aut the Irishman was the heavier of the two.
 The sailors in San Francisco went hook, line and sinker on Tom, while the wise sports covered every cent of fered, confident that Joe could make a monkey of the sailor. At first it looked as if they had a wise hunch. Choynski knocked Tom clear out of the ring, and the big tar landed on top of a bunch of reporters. Every body thought he was out, but Tom climbed back and resumed hOstilities. A little later Choynski again knocked Tom through the ropes and he lit on tho floor on his bean. A little thing like that didn't affect Sharkey, except that it peeved him, and he immedi- atey climbed into the ring again and started to rough it Choynski was utterly discourag ged and fought on the defensive, but in the eighth round Sharkey landed a wallop that put him to sleep.
