VI eafer Fails TO Put Out
 Lawson
By John PostA.)

Bud Weafer, the K. O. king of Nor walk, all but knocked out Soldier Lawson in the star bout of the show sta ged by the Lake A. A. at the Ar moIy A. A. last night. Bud hit Law son with everything he had but could not put over the sleeper. In the first round Bud uncorked one of his fam ous lefts and Lawson's eye went up. At the close of the fight both boys were trying desperately for a K4 O., and when Referee Parker raised
 Weafer's right hand, the fans ap-
 pIauded loudly. This was one of the
 best bouts ever seen around these
 parts and both boys were loudly ap- plauded as they left the ring. In the semi-fnaI Eddie O'Hara of New York got the decision over
 Packey Hannon after the bout was stopped in the third round. Packey was no match for O'Hara as Eddie's long reach, coupled withs his wicked left put Packey in bad shape. Sammy Nable and Bud Dempsey, both of New York, fought four rounds ] to a craw.
 1 In the preliminary Young Luby, of the Crashos knocked out Chick Turn
 CT in the second round after Turner i had been fioored twice.
 As an added attraction the Casual i lon twins, of New Haven, boxed four
 one minute rounds, much to the amusement of the fans.

DETROIT CAN'T SEND HURLERS
 FOR HARTFORD

Hartford, April 23.-Unless the Detroit pitching staff rounds into winning form in the course of the next few days, Manager Dan Howley of the Senators is afraid that he may have to worry along for some time minus the services of Pitchers Bert Glasier and Rex Cox, whom Pres ident Frank J. Navin of the Tigers has promised to farm out to the local pilot for further development
 Howley yesterday received a letter from the Detroit president in which he explained the poor condition of the Tigers pitching department ana added that he feared he would be forced to, retain Glasier and Cox un- til the regular pitchers find them selves. Right now the staff is shot to pieces.
 Bernie Roland, one of the best bets Hughey Jennings has to fling against the American League opposition, has been troubled with a sore arm, which has rendered him useless so far this season
 Slim Love, the tall 1eft-hander, has shown such poor form that he has been released to the San Fran cisco club of the Pacific Coast Lea que. Dutch Leonard reported to the Tigers in fair shape but later re- ceived news of the sudden death of his mother. This greatly upset the southpaW star and as a, result he has not been fit for duty.
 Howard Ehmke, the big right handler, is also yet to reach his true form. The only pitcher who has been displaying any reliance IS George Dauss, who was beaten in the opening game by the White Sox to 2. With such a situation as this facing the Detroit owner, he feels that he must keep the pitchers he has in reserve with hopes that the regulars will whip themselves into shape.
 The only chance Hartford has o1 | getting Pitchers Glasier and Cox the 1 next few days rests wholly on how | the regular twirlers stand up. 1T l the meantime Howley has wired | Pitchers Ralph Head and Joe Sher- man to report immediately. ThougI
 naturally Howley is a bit discouraged
 over the news he received yesterday
 from Detroit he is well familiar witt 1 the merits of the Detroit pitching staff and refuses to believe that ht will not get the two pitchers. It Ii l only a matter of about week or st l before the Big Four,'' Roland l DauSs, Ehmke and Leonard, hit thei stride and pave the way for the De 1 troit president to part with Classic
 and Cox.

Ruth May Be Lost
 To Yanks For Weeks

New York, April 23-The renade Yankees, of whom Babe Ruth is the principal figure ia the remaking, took a turn yesterday at opening the New York baseball season, and they sledged through to a victory over the Philadelphia Athletics, youngsters, veterans, green elephants and all, by was vehement in batting way, for they hit harder and cleaner than hitherto this season. Vehemence with the bat was the general programme. The Athletics came laundering along with a hitting attack of their ow1- tied the, score in the seventh and forced the Yankees to draw on their reserve offensive to win.
 The Yankees made fifteen hits and logged three Philadelphia pitchers, NayIor, iIasty and the noted Scott Perry. TS'ae Athletics trade twelve hits and slogged Jack Quinn from the box. All the New York hitting was done without a contribution from Ruth> The Babe played one inning, but an injury he sustained before the game was so severe that he couldn' stick it out longer and was helped from the field.
 Ruth wrenched his side or tore a muscle swinging at a low ball in bat ting practice. He twisted and doUt>led with the pain of it then, but it was opening day and the New York cluA was anxious to have him appear so that the fans might not be disap- pointed. There were 10000 specta- tors, and if there was any one per son they wanted to see more than an- other it was Ruth, the home run phenomenon, wearing a New York uniform on the Polo Grounds for the first time.
 Ruth was taped and bandaged and
 sent into the game. He came to bal in the first inning, in which. by the
 way, the Yankees cleaned up foul
 runs with heavy batting. He swung
 at a pitch, then went to one knee to
 get relief from the pain. He had tr 1 rest between strikes. and the best ht could do was to strike out. He came in for an ovation when he went tt bat, and he was app1auded when he
 returned to the bench. The specta-
 tors seemed to know that something ] was wrong with him. His face show ed his distress.
 "Gleich takes Ruth's place." wa: the announcement at the end of the first inning, and the announcer went on to say that Ruth had been hurt | The exact nature of the injury could not be determined at Ihe time, but i was learned that he tore a muscle from the eleventh rib.

 ON HOUSAT0NIC FOR FINAL SPIN

New Haven, April 2S.---The Housa- tonic river between Derby and Shel- ton was alive with oarsmen late yes Yale and Columbia 'Varsities and the junior Varsity crews, went over the two-Inile course in preparation for their regatta on Saturday. All four crews showed to good advantage in the perfect conditions which pre- vailed, and some fast rowing was in evidence.
 The Columbia crews, which came here early in the afternoon, were first on the river, and. after trying several saJtrts, covered the course in two spins, closely followed by the Yale launch, with Glny Nicalals and the Varsity crew aboard.
 Later the Yale second crew took to course, the machineIf1e work of the from the float and the shore. When the juniors had put up their boat, the Varsity went out, and the same pow erfu1 g stroke which. Nicka1lS has taught his pupils was again demon strated. The Varsity covered the course in fast time, but no official time was given. NickaaEs seemed 1 highly pleased with the form showed Jim Rice, CoIuIfbia's coach, would
 make no prediction as to the outcome | of the races on Saturday excepting tc say that his men were in good condi- ton and would give a good accouEf' l of themselves.

YALE IN GREAT
 I5 INNING TIE WITHNEWH HAVEN

New Haven, April 23-Yesterday afternoon, the Yale and New Haven baseball teams went 15 innings to a l to 1 draw, ad there wasn't a, fan in the stands who didn't think he got his 55 cents worth and then some.
 There was classy fielding that would make John McGraw turn green with envy.
 Paul Crane in left field for Yale had a terrible streak at one time. He retired Murray to wind up the third frame with catch that would have got a. raise in salary for Bennie Kauff Right off his shoe strings and a somersault thrown in for good measure. Then to show that the catch was no flash in the pan, he took it upon himself to retire the whole side in the next inning. Ball Simpson and Christie, right in order fell victims to his eagle eye.
 In the matter of runs, New Haven scored first in the 11th. After Fo1 had been retired on a short fly tc Diamond, Wilson slammed a. healthy single. Then strode the mighty Bender to the plate, hero of many gruelling games, and zowie! Boy mark down a stinging two baggel over shortstop that scored Wilson The chief was doubled off second when he thought Murray's smash wa! a sure hit. However, that man Crane got another shoe string catch, and thu scoring was over.

 SchaIk is regarded as the best catcher in the majors, his closest rivals being Bill Kil1efer, of the Chicago Cubs and Steve ONei11 of the Cleveland Indians. Few big league catchers have reached the 1oO0th mark. SchaIk has been one of the most active catchers ever in the major leagues.
