BY HOUSTON PILOT .Then Latter is Knecksd Info. Box By At Fieocher. Houston, Texas,. April 1.—The Giants finished their Houston yesterday afternoon by making it four straight from the Texas league cham- pions. The score was 4 to 1, and It ‘was a dull game, played on a fleld made wet by rain and with little to excite interst. * Manager McGraw batted to his in- ‘fl?ld! before the game and managed [from the bench with his upper lip in icourt plaster. The lip was cut where ,the fist of 'Pat Newnam, the Houston fleld manager, came in contact with it. This happened an hour or so be- fore the ball game. The assault on the New York manager was the up- shot of an exchange of words between Newnam and McGraw in Monday's game, and McGraw said this evening that Newnam's remarks to Fred Snod- £rass in that game started that com- bat. Newnam attacked McGraw as the | latter was coming through the "en-| trance into the grand stand. The for- mer was sitting in the stand with, several of his' players with him, all | in uniform, as McGraw, with a party 0f two or three who had come out to the grounds with him stepped into | the aisle of the stand. From what! can be gathered from versions of the | ruction Newnam immediately stepped up and hit McGraw a hard punch. McGraw declares he didn't see New- nam or know until later who hit him. | The blow knocked him down. Arthur Flétcher was sitting near by putting | on his shoes when he saw his chief | knocked down and e jumpei up and | nailed Newnam, knocking him into a box. [ That's as far as the scrap went. ‘There were no spectators present at the time, only players, and the affair subsided at once. “I was looking out on the field,” said McGraw, “when the first thing T knew I got it.”” The manager's face i3 a bit swollen, but will be all right in a few days. Neither Newnam nor Fletcher played in the game, which perhaps was jusf as well. . The game passed off uneventfully. Fletche right hand was puffed from contact series over the Baltimore Orioles in the last geme of the homeward trip. The score ‘was 3 to 0.

Up to the fifth the Sen- ators shaded the Brooklynites in the hitting ‘line, but they failed to hit in sequence. In the sixth, with neither side having scored, the Brooklynites jumped on Pitcher Williams, and made a trio of tallies on singles by Dalton and Cutshaw and Wheal's triple.

New York, April 1.—A schedule has been arranged hy owners and managers of the three jcup defenders and the several yacht clubs which gives the tnree yachts twenty-five races exclusive of during the New 'York Yacnt club cruise and such trials as may be necessary after that cruise has end- ed. 1t is possible that this schedule may be rearranged and that it may j be necegsary to sele¢t other dates | for the races now scheduled for the early part of June. ! According to the present ment the first races will be June 2 3 and 4. These are to be under the auspices of the New York Yacht cluh and are to be sailed on The starting point will be off Great Captain’s island, which is near Greenwich. That point has bheen 'chosen by the regatta committee of the New York Yacht club because it enables the committee to select a good course, which may be fifteen miles to windward and return, shoula ;the wind be from a favorable direc- !tion, or around a triangle of ten miles to a leg. Should these dis- tances be impossible the course may be shortened and sailed twice over. | The starting point ana the probable | courses are settled, but it is possible i that the three yachts may not be quite ready for racing at that time. {In such an event the dates will be | changed. There is no idea now that they will not be ready, but it is hard to predict what may happen when they begin sailing and there may be | somé delays in getting: them away from the builders’ yards. The next race is scheduled for the Larchmont Yacht club on June 6, and after that the three yachts will take part in three races outmde Sandy Hook under the auspices of the New York Yacht club. The dates for these three are June 10, 11 and 12, and the courses will .be the same'as the international races and under the same conditions as far as possible. These calirses will be fifteen miles to windward or leeward and return ana around a thirty mile triangle, with one le@, the first if pessible, ten miles to windward. The starts will be made from the Ambrose Channel lightship. ‘ The international polo match wiil be played early in June, and as the vachtsmen want to witness the polo games and the polo men want to see the yacht races the dates are to be arranged so that there will be no conflict. All the races in June with the ex- grrange- | poor game, with Boston showing most of the weak baseball.

I | | i | 1 MACK EXPECTS T0 LAND 1914 PENNANT 1 | 1 | tiead Says. i i Connie Mack, manager of the cham- | pion Athletics, has little doubt he will lagain win. the pennant in the Ameri- can league and the championship ! { from the National league. He is not these are his opinions | { of his chances in 1914: “Picking the winner of a baschall championship before the season starts just about as easy as trying to strike out Ty Cobb. You may do it, but the i chances are largely against you. Every {club has a quantity of material which {it takes south In the spring. and no | one, not even the manager himself, { knows just how the recruits will per- | form in fast company. They may ap- | pear to be world beaters in early prac- | tice, and then 'blow up’ when it comes down to the real task in the ch.m- { pionship race or they may have the xoods and the manager fail to realize | 1t “For instance, 1 have several young- | i sters with me in Florida, who bear the ! i earmarks of ball players, but I would | {he foolish to claim that I have an- | other Edddie Collins or Eddie Plank. “So far as the Athletics are con- cérned I have not much doubt but that we will again lead the chase at | the end of the season, although it is | not a certainty. We won the world’s | chanipionship 1911 and H in were | looked upon as a sure winner in 1912, | vet we did not even win the pennant | in our own league. That shows the uncertainty of baseball, and 1 believe in proceeding along the lines of fight- ing for every game. One counts just as much as another and if the men try to win all their games there is no room for excuse at the end. “Whether my players will stand up under the strain is a question which I cannot answer. Personally, 1 hope and think that they will, but it must be remembered that two of my best pitchers—Bender and Plank—are no longer youngsters and ‘Father Time’ will take his toll when he is ready. Should they go along as well as last year 1 cannot see how we are to he beaten, despite the strengthening con- dition of our rivals. 1 have practi- cally the same team as last year and we hope that Coombs will be able to help us out this season. “My infield, of which 1 am justly proud, remains the same and 1 don’t know how I would improve upon it, | even if I so desired. MclInnes, Collins, Barry and Baker are all young play- | ers and should grow steadier with each succeeding year. They work to- gether in perfect harmony and under- stand one another so well that I do not have to bother with them at all. “I look for a hard race this year, with some probable surprises, but ex- cept for accidents or {llness I feel rea- sonably sure that the American league gonfalon will again float at Shibe park in 1915.” TWO NAPS SIGN. Cleveland, April 1.—George Kahler and Fred Blanding are officially | signed with the Naps. The two pitch- | ers, it was learned yesterday, signed up after a conference with Nap of- ficials and their attorneys and will return to Atlanta, Ga., at once to finish spring training. Both men jumped Federal league contracts, but did not sign with the Naps until ad- vised to do so by the lawyers. HARD LUCK HITS NAPS. Cleveland, April 1.—Nemo Leibold, Nap outfielder, is on his way here from the training camp with an in- jured knee, according to word from Manager Birmingham, who ordered him home. With Shortstop Chap- | man’s leg broken and the pitching staff cut into by the jumping of Fal- | kenberg, the crippling of Leibold | means that the Naps will start the season in a bad way. TIP TOPS INCORPORATE. Albany, April 1.—The Federal league baseball club of Brooklyn was in- corporated with the secretury of state yesterday with a capital of $800,000, divided into $400,000 com- mon and the same amount of pres ferred stock.
