LOCAL BOYS APPEAR
Jimmy Clinch and Terry Pagan, New Britain Boys, to Fight in Bouts in Hartford Tonight.

Jimmy Clinch and Terry Pagan, the two New Britain boys who have started out 10 enter the fighting game through the ranks Of the simon pures, will continue their quest of experience tonight when both Of them will appear in an ana teur card in Hartford. The local boys have been training harder than ever for their second consecutive trial at the elusive shade of victory and according 10 their handlers, are in fine shape for the coming battles tonight.
 In their last bouts two weeks ago, Cliach lost On q decision which was banned throughout the state by the newspapers writers as raw. This however, hasn't stopped the local boy in his training and hard work for as he philosopnically states him self, a few losses won't hurt much at the start of his career.
 Young Pagan also lost his fight ln the last card but it was more through over anxiousness than any thing else because he had bis mar on the verge of a knockout wher an unlucky blow lost the fight foT him on a foul.
 Both young fighters have beer cautioned against losing their head: and when the gong rings tonight both will enter their respective bouts determined 10 win and to that end will fight as they never fought be fore. From their training quarters of the Tabs building on Lafayette street, confidence in the outcome to- night is radiatlng every minute ana even though the good fortunf doesn't smile upon them, both vii give a good account of them. The same crowd Of loyal rooters will be on hand 10 back them up.

Babe Gets Two Homers and
 : Single Against Dodgers

70 New York, April 6. - So-called one-mand diamond team of day frequently do not win ball games, even when the individual is Babe Ruth.
 Although Ruth planted two balls among the suburbs of Chattanooga, Tenn. yesterday, and tapercd off the performance with a single in the closing innings, the Yankees ab- sorbed a thorough drubbing from the Brooklyn Dodgers, 1S to 6. The result put the National league entry In the preseason series on the long end of the test up to this time.
 Ruth proved that a sleep!ess night due to chills and fever, was not suf- ficlent to dim his batting eye and the expectations of 5000 Chattanooga fans, his first four-play blow was contributed in the third inning after the Dodgers had scored three in tho first. Earl Combs talliod on this smash.
 Babe tied the score at three apiece with his second homer, but six Brooklynites found the trail to home plate in the sixth, clinching the game for the National league club.
 Jimmy Johnston responded to the time -honored demand of hero day jinxes by making three errors at short after receiving pair of dia- mond cuff links from Chattanooga fans, but he took the edge off hie bad play In the field by collecting a brace on singles.

GOLF GETS IN BAD
 WITH BIG LEAGUERS
Both New York Managers Take Lead in Putting Ban On
 It At Camp

New York, April 6.--Golf has final ly got in bad with the major league managers.
 Too much golf enthusiasm and too little baseball conversation has been the chief contributing cause to the ban.
 As is usually the case, the two New York clubs have taken the initiative in the matter. John Nc. Graw and Miller Huggins have both delivered a final ultimatum on the subject.
 Each manager has let it be knowr to his players that 1t would be wise 10 send the old golf sticks home and put in an order for some new ball hats.
 The report is that fine of severa' hundred dollars will be deducted from the salary of any player whc fails to observe the golf ban.
 AS far as my club Is concerned, says McGraw, the only thing l vii stand for in this golf game IS tho knickers and I would be just as vel satisfied if the players put them 1T moth balis.'
 Manager Jack Hendricks of tn Cincinnati Reds has taken almost a' drastic a stand as McGraw and Hug gins,
 Two of his players, Mays ant Rixey, believe golf helps them. The! can play except the day before, a well as the day on which they ar' slated to take their regular turn. NcGraw's ban came after listening to the clubhouse conversation on 1 day in which golf had the edge ol baseball. That didn't please him 1 The result, no more golf.

COLUMBIA HAS HIGH
 HOPES FOR DIAMOND
New York Hill Peppers Seem To Have Some Excellent Ma
 terial This Season

New York, April 6.-Prospects for winning baseball team at Colum- bia university are said to be excep- tionally bright this season. Fact is, one of the best outfits in years is anticipated.
 The squad, which is coached by Andy Coakley, former pitcher with the Philadelphia Athletics, is as large a one as the Blue and White school has had out in a. long while. Moreover, the material seems to be there.
 Coakley has several good pitchers and a nice bunch of promising oin- field and outfield candidates. What he appears 10 need mostly is a bit stouter attack. And he hopes 10 get this before the season gets well .un- der way.

San Francisco, April G.-The Pittsburgh Pirates will have one of the fastest outfields in the major leagues this season. For in Max Carey, Hazen Cuyler and George Grantham, Manager McKechnie boasts three speed merchants de luxe.
 Carey rates as one of the greatest baserunners the game has produced. He has led the National league in stealing for several seasons. Last year hs<swiped 49 hassocks, Cuyler, in his first year in the main tent, came through with g pliers, rank Ing next to Carey in the purloinins art.
 Two seasons ago, Grantham, then youngsteE. ran Carey a close race for top hd brs. The Pirate finally beat the tot out, but only after a hectic fight.
 This season will find the Pirates exceptionally strong on the paths, for besides the trio mentioned. Me Kechnie will also have Pie Traynor, Carson Bigbee and Glenn Wright, all fast chaps on the bases. A year ago Pittsburgh topped the majors with 1S1 steals. And with Granthan, acquired in trade with the Cubs, added to the list the Pi- rates should hang up an even better record.
 While it is true that the base pill tfering art has been more or less in the background during recent sea- sons, stolen base now and then, nevertheless. comes in handy es- pecially in close game, and Me- Kechnie figures on leaving no stone unturned in an effort 10 increase the teams offensive. In toting a team of fast men he believes his chances for success are all the more en- hanced.

SatlIrda y's Game

But to get back to the Nat-Lyric rubber Saturday night. IL was a fast game and a game in which every conceivable brand of basketball was exhibited, thus pleasing every type of fan. There was some roughness, with Sammy Pite being especially bitter toward Johnny sheehan, but Johnny laughing it off and shooting the fouls at SamueTs expense. There was good team work and team shooting, with Malcolm and Feldman exhibiting some stellar work in this respect. There was ex- cellent long range shooting with all the Mats getting in on this, and there was some unusually fast floor drib- bling and shooting, with Reynolds and Pite excelEng. Then too, there were the usual circus shots, RestelIi and Taylor contributing. while both Teldman and Taylor losing baskets that appeared sure counters only 10 have the ball roll In, and thon out.

ChampionshIn Gossip.

Thee DiXies have eliminated Mid dletown and the National Guards while the Lyrics have eliminated the Atlas. Thus If the Dixies win the Hartford series 1t is not unreason- able to credit them with the so-called state championship. On the other hand, should the Lyrics win 1t would appear that the National Guards have as good right to claim the title as any other outfit in the state. This assumption, of course, is merely on the basis of games won from the winners. The Dixies took two out of three from the Mats, so If the Dixies win tomorrow the Mats have noting to say. Not so however, about the Lyrics win and the Jewish boys are going to make a great bid for the game. They expect to have Lou Gordon in their lineup with Sammy Pite, Malcolm and Feld-

Inas- much as the Lyrics play the Dixies tomorrow night in a game in which not only the Hartford city title but also the state title Is at stake there is room for much speculation by basketball fans.
