single. The feature OF the game was
a catch by Dorgan OF a ball which
seemed good for three bases when
two OF the visitors were on the bases.
This catch saved New York from de-
feat"
Mack Performed Well.
Looking over the box score we
must conclude that washington's
young catcher. McGillicuddy, or Mack,
as he calle4 himself. had quite a little
to do in holding the Giants to q tie.
Connie is credited with nine putouts
and two assists, and started the only
double play of the game. At bat he
made one of the five hits the Senators
jolted out OF Tim Keefe.
Washington being a tailender, had
tied the score for the Senators in the
eighth inning, were rafting good
players.
The next season Washington pro-
cured another young pitcher, whom
Connie Mack used to catch regularly.
This rookie was Hennery Hank"
O'Day. who now is calling EN- In
the National Eeague, and has been
doing so for many yearS. ODay and
Mack were quite q battery on that
early Senator Aggregation.
Mack remained in Washington until
1889 when the Washington club sur
rendered it's franchise. Macks four
years in Washington, which opened
his career, are very similar to his
last five years in the American
League. The Senators finished last
three times and seventh once in the
four-year stretch. Mack's Athletics
broke a record last season by finish
ing last for nve years in succession.
Then Joined Pirates.
In 1890 Mack played in Buffalo, but
in 1891 he returned to the National
League with the Pittsburgh Pirates
and did most of Pittsburgh's catch
ing the next six years. 1t was dur
ing his stay in Pittsburgh that Con-
ME played his best ball.
In 1894 Connie got his first start
as manager, when the Pirates were
turned over to his direction. Connie
ran the Pittsburgh team for three
years, but he had a tough bunch Of
players to handle in the Smoky City,
and he met with only Indifferent sue
cess. In 1897 he took hold OF the Mil
waukee team OF the old western
League.
The American League was an on
shoot of the old Western League, and
in 1900 Mack managed the Milwau-
Kee club OF Johnson's newly organized
circuit The season Of 1900 saw the
end of Connie Mack, the catcher.
Thereafter he stuck TO "cits" and the
players bench.
= When the American League invaded
the East, in 1901, and took tho feld
as a full-hedged major. Mack was
sent to Philadelphia to oppose the
powerful Philadelphia Nationals OF
that era. or the original American
League managers, Connie is the only
one who still retains his old post.

If Edwards has the necessary class,
he probably will be quite contented
TO have Leonard weigh 1876 pounds
for that is the recognized British
weight, and the Australian must have
been lighting under the same system.
However, there Is more or less doubt
regarding the ability of the Antip-
odean. Tom Andrews, who is one
wise gent when II comes to nursing
boxer along, will probably try Ed
wards out against some of the second
raters here before starting him on
Leonard's trail
The coming Of Edwards recalls the
visit Of the late Les Darcy, the Aus
tralian middleweight titleholder.
suffering from brainless advice, Darcy
got himself in bad almost before he
had landed at New York. Before he
could show his class in the ring here.
the gates were barred and he was
taken i'll, dying after brief illness.
Edwards, with Andrews in charge of
his affairs, should have better luck.
Doubtful Of Leonard.
Boxing fans, though, are doubtful
OF Leonards Willingness to defend his
title in a twenty-round contest to a
decision, even against Edwards, and
much water may run under the
bridge begore they strip for action.
Hence. Edwards will probably be seen
boxing second-raters before Leonard
even respotnds to his challenges.
Tom Andrews recently took some
American boxers to Australia. His
troupe had some luck, Chuck Wig
gins, an unknown middleweight a
year or so ago in this country. de-
festing the Australian heavyweight
champion, Albert Lloyd, and knock
ing out Fred Kay. former champion.
Eddie Wallace, the Brooklyn light
weight, faced Llew Edwards. For
eight rounds Wallace hit the Austria
liam with everything but the water
bucket, running up a long lead. Ed
wards possessed sufficient stamina,
however, to weather the storm, wear
down his American rival, and knock
him out in the thirteenth round.
Nobody I'm this country would men,
tion Wallac s--name in the same
breath with Leonard's, so Edwards
victory does not at once proclaim him
any ring marvel at his weight The
fact that Tom Andrews has seen Mt to
bring him here counts for much more,
as Andrews is an experienced handler
Of boxers and generally knows what

Fits IL . Faflure.

After lot OF hard work by busy
press agents, Bob Fitzsimmons' son,
Bob, jr., entered q ring in Jersey City
Monday night. Aside from the
freckles on his arms and legs, he
failed 10 resemble his famous father
in any way. Particularly did young
Fttz fail as a hitter. something in
which hts sire shone most Of all.
Ruby Robert could knock 'em cold
with either hand, and from short dis
tances, too, but his son lacks the kick.
For several years father and son
Travelled around the country in a
gymnasium act. Those who know
much about the ring would call young
Fitz today typical gymnasium
product. No champion was ever de-
veloped in one. A boxer may start in
a gym. He may brush up certain
weak points in a gym. But IL takes
actual experience inside the ropes to
make for real success.
According to those who saw Mon
days scrap, Fitzsimmons has a good
left hand for popping. but little more.
He has no steam in his punches, a
natural weakness following years OF
exhibition work. Young Fitz never
shifted so as to use a heavy left, one
of his fathers best wallops. His
greenness can bo understood, but he
will evidently need much experience
against tough opponents before he
will be able TO take his fathers place
as a fistic marvel.

FAVOR STEEPLECHASE SPORT
Horsemen Discuss Plan at Meeting in New York, and a Committee is Named on Arrangements.

New York, Jan. 13.-Plans to revive interest in both amateur and profes- sional steeple chasing were considered today by a special committee appoint ed last night at meeting of more than 100 horsemen under the auspices of tho national steeplechase and hunts association. The committee consists of Henry Higginson, chairman of the hurts committees; r. Ambrose Clark and Col. c. c. George.
 The army's interest in the sport was indicated by the presence at the meet inS of four officers from the general staff at Washington. Various speak CTS declared that the weights were too low, the fences too small and the races too short. Many speakers asserted that the jockey club did the sport an injus- tice by not allowing open dates for the hunts meetings, instead of having them conflict with racing at different tracks.
 The low scale Of weights was held to blame for the fact that certificates were issued to only 70 amateur riders last season.

STRENUOUS SEASON
 ARRANGED FOR YALE
Plenty of Hard Work for 1920
 Eleven Assured in Schedule

New Haven, Jan. 1S.-Yale' foot ball schedule was announced officially last night by Paul Trouche, Jr.. mana ser Eight games are called for, and from the character of the Blues op- ponents. it is apparent that Yale in tends to prepare itself, even at the cost of early season defeats, for it's crucial games with Princeton and liar ward. The Princeton contest is the only game to be played outside of the bowl.
 Nothing is said of a post season western trip for the Blue next year, but it is commonly held here that some contest will be scheduled for the team, especially since the track and the crew representatives, have been practically assured of ttra11sa tiantic trips. t. ~;4.
 Yales three easiest opponents ot 1919, Springfield, Tufts and Maryland, l, have been dropped and in their places appear Carnegie Tech. Colgate and west Virginia. The last mentioned appears on Yale schedule for the first time, while Carnegie and Colgate will play here next season for the first time since 1916. ''@
 The return of Colgate to the Blues card is leading feature Of the 1920 selection. In past years Colgate has been Yale's hardest opponent. and in 1916 Yale was lucky to win by : to 5. Relations between the two colleges al ways have been of the most friendly sort, and twas a source of much re- gret here last year that Colgate could not be played because Of conflicting dates. .'5a&+4 if Y 3i@i&i2+az9 &si$-'i7 :@fj'
 The North Carolina contest appears to me the only easy game for the Blue next year. Yale had little difficult ty in whipping this team, S4 to T. this season. Outside of this contest Yale faces a strenuous season, one that will bear striking contrast to the one of 1919, which was purposely weak because of the wars intrusion.
 In general the. selection for next season quito ,contradicts Yale prece- dent. In place of the large number of New England colleges which formerly have usu1'ped the greater part of the dates Yale Is provided with a card which is very well balanced in regard to the sections of the country repre- scented. The schedule follows:
 October ?, Carnegie Tech; October 9, University of North Carolina; October 16, Boston College; October 23, West Virginia; October 30, Colgate: Nowem- Der 6, Brown; November IS, Princeton at Princeton; November 20. Harvard.
