Rain and FOg-Through Traffic on
West River Railroad.

Through service was resumed on the
West river branch of the Central Vermont
railroad this morning for the first time
since Monday morning, a transfer between
T0wushend and West Townshend having
been necPsSitated by damage 10 the rail
road bridge.
The rain and heavy fog of last night
and today have taken off much snow and
have caused the tributaries to the Con

volume Of roily water. \ number of addi-

RAPP PLAYS THIRD
 IN SPLENDID STYLE
MCGraW'S New S15,OOO Recruit
 Shows Up We'll in Practice

San Antonio, Texas, March S.-For the first time since they started work here there was note of genuine buoy ancy in the camp of the Giants yester- day. They had been going along like youngster whistlng his way through a graveyard in the dark, but with the ar rival of Davy Bancroft. Earl Smith and Joe Rapp, and Rapp's splendid showing at third base. faces became brighter and real laughter rang through the ball park.
 John McGraw did not permit Rapp to waste any time in preliminaries. He wanted to get look at the young re- cruit in action as soon as possible and somewhat to Rapp's surprise he was ordered to cover third base for the reg ulars, or Tortillas, in the first intra- club game. Frank Frisch was shifted to second base and in the absence of Bancroft, who still is a bit under the weather, Herb Hunter took care of the short field.
 Judging from the way Rapp behaved in the six inning tussle he will open the National league season on third base, with Frisch back at the midway posi- tion in which he relieved Larry Doyle when he made his debut with the New Yorks 4 short practice test is not cal culated to give reliable line on any player, but Rapp handled himself like d third baseman of undoubtedly high calibre. He proved a sure man on bad bounders and took them on either side.
 Everything which usually is said about a good looking rookie is said about this young addition from St. Paul. That he has what is known as d noodle may be inferred from the fact that he had been holding out for a share of the S15, 900 which St. Paul got for his release.

REIMER SCORES K. O.
 OVER BILL SWEENEY
Sponge Is Tossed Into Ring in
 Fifth-Shugrue BeSts Rector

Bobby Reimer scored a technical knockout over Bill Sweeney last night in the fifth round of the semi final bout on the Liberty A. c. exhi- bition at Hartford. Sweeney was subjected to a bad facing before Marty Brombe tossed the sponge into the ring. ending an uninterest- ing battle. The work of Sweeney was a disappointment to his friends. Bill never looked so bad in the ring as he did last night He seemed to be overcome with fright, and al- though he was given his hardest facing in clinches, he seemed insistent in battling his more experienced op- ponent in that manner. In only one round did Sweeney appear to have a chance. This was in the sec ond stanza, when he smashed Reimer squarely on the jaw with terrific right handler. The bell was wei corned by Reimer. After that time until the sponge rolled on the canvas Bobby applied plenty of punches to all parts of Sweeney's body.
 The Star Bout.
 The star bout brought Johnny Shugrue of Waterbury and Young Rector of Jersey City, together. Shugrue was heavier than he has looked at any time in the past. It was announced that his poundage totaled 1864 while Rector moved the scales at 134A The Jersey City boy refused to claim the forfeit, which made him popular with the fans. While the crowd did not go wild with enthusiasm over the bout, it was an interesting affair. Shu- grue is improving steadily, and his sharpshooting smashes several times rocked Rector. The latter showed he is great ring general, by the manner in which he would avert trouble when he was clouted. Shu- grue's cleaner punches earned him decision.
 In the curtain raiser Kid Polo, colored, rbested Murray Fields of Hartford, in a six round curtain raiser There was plenty to amuse the fans during the 12 minutes the boys were in the ring.
 Shubert and Waltz.
 It was announced by Hughie Ro-ty that on March 31, Sammy Waltz of Hartford and Al. Shuhert of New Bedford. Mass, will furnish the star bout before the Liberty A. c.

RUTH POUNDS BALL
Bambino Knocks Horsehidc Over Fence Eight Times at Shreveport Othcr Yankees Also Bat Hard.

Shreveport. La, March S.-Babe Ruth. full panoplied. jumped into the swing of the Yankees training yes- terday and put in an active and varied day with as much ardor as if he had been here from the start. The lame heel he brought with him from Hot Springs had him limping a little. but he says that the effects of that in- jury will be all gone in two or three days, and ho romped about yesterday as if they already were gone.
 Ruth put on a big show yesterday morning. He headed the Huggins' cast. Local fans perched themselves all over the front railing of the grand stand, watching Ruth's every move and interfering with the view of those behind. Chief among the Babes morning industries were eight fair hits over the fences. The fences here are not so far out that a lift over them is especially stupendous. Other Yankees arc putting the ball over them, but Ruth was the first to do if at a wholesale clip.
 McMillan. Ledbetter, the big pitch CT. and Ping Bodie. all whanged the ball in practice or in the afternoon game, but eight in one cluster is out of the usual. One of them went over the center field fence. low swift bolt. and 1t was a tremendous drive. Tn the afternoon Ruth put triple on H line against the same fence, the only hit he made in the practice game.
