A telegram was received by the New York club from the Houston club officials telling that Pat Newnam, the Houston first baseman, who assaulted McGraw, had been fined $50 and sus- pended indefinitely by his employers. Arthur Fletcher wasn't able to play ‘yesterday. ' The right hand with which he slammed Newnam over the ‘eye just after the latter floored Mc; Graw was puffed still larger and in no shape to do baseball business. Mc- Graw's lip was not so swollen and the manager was up and about as usual. Real hot weather favored the play- ers and Demaree and Martina, the \Beaumont pitcher, had a pretty box duel of, it. Demaree's change of pace’' and fine control had the Beau- mont men in ‘chancery and Martind had the Giants guessing with a swift curve. He struck out eight of them. Demaree set down six that way in his six innings. He was flogged for & double and two singles in the fifth inning, then struck out the next two batters and left two men on bases. Schupp, despite Joblike afflictions, pitched well in the last three seme- (sters.

Thereupon this slogan was hurled at Schuppy by Doyle'and Snodgrass to steady him: | “Remember Galveston?" Schuppy | took heed, remained calm and did not repeat his Galveston ascension.

The seven played an interesting schedule of games, tying Andover 1 to 1, defeating ,8t. Marks 3 to 0 and Rindge 3 to 1. The team was beaten by Arlington 3 to 2 and by Brookline 2 to 1. Hockey being a major sport at Harvard, the players who will be eligible for the sev- en next winter are having spring prac- tice. Beginning this week, the men will play in the arena twice each week until the ice season is at an end. Har- vard, like Princeton, will suffer heavily through graduation of good men. Nine of the thirteen Crimson stick wielders who participated in the Yale series will receive their degrees next June and of the regular seven only two men will re- main—Claflin and Phillips. ' The fresh- man seven will supply some good ma- terial, and there should be players of caliber developing out of this year’ second seven. Princeton loses a num- ber of hockey stars, including Hobey Baker, Kuhn, Winants and Emmons. In commenting upon the intercol- colleglate hockey season just closed, Malcolm K. Gordon, who coaches the hockey teams at St. Paul's school, Con- cord, declares that the New Hamp- .shire school {n 1912 and 1913 had six men of the seven on the all college hockey teams of those years. This year, in picking his all star team, he imelects Carnochan, Willetts, Claflin ana . Hopkins of Harvard and Kuhn, Baker and Kilner of Princeton. This gives ‘8t.

April ~Rube Waddell, the famous left-handed pitcher, died here yesterday. He had been ill for months with tuberculosis. New York, April z.—George Ed- ward Waddell, one of the greatest of pifchers, was noted nearly as much for his eccentricities as for his abil- ity as a ball play In the seventeen vears he spent professional base- ball he held positions with twelve teams and, including “return engage- ments,” had fourteen jobs, His longest term of .service was with the Philadelphia Americans, where, un- | der the watchful eyve of Connle Mack, he pitched winning ball for a half dozen seasons. Waddell's inability to keep in con- dition discouraged most other man- agers and was indirectly responsible for his contracting tuberculosis, which caused his death, There was no better pitcher than the Rube when he was in form, but he, as well as managers and club owners, was aware of his powerlessness to resist temptation. As a result of his weak- ness the largest salary he ever re- ceived was $3.000 a year. That he got from the Athletics, with stipulation, it is said, that he must keep in condition, Waddell shared with Robert Glade the strike-out record of the Ameri- can league, On July 29, 1908, while pitching for the St. Louis Americans, to whom he had just been released by Mack, he fanned sixteen of the Athletics, his former teammates. Waddell was born in Butler, Pa., October 13, 1876. When twenty years of age, or in 1896, h# pitched his first professional ball with the Oil City, Pa., team, and the next year, after a brief career with the Volant college (Pa.) nine, he entered “big league” baseball as a member of the Louisville National league team. The pace in such fast company was a bit too fast for him, however, and after a few weeks' engagement with De- troit he returned to his native state and joined the Homestead team. In 1899 a scout for the Columbus team recommended him and he was drafted by that organization, The next year he was attached to the Louisville club, but when the Louis- ville players were transferred . to Pittsburg he went along. The Amer- ican league war, signal for a general period of players’ ‘“jumping,” gave Waddell the opportunity for another change, and he hecame a member of the Milwaukee club in 1900. Waddell joined the Chicago Na- Clafiin and | Photo by American Press Association. FRANK MORAN. THE sandy complexioned 195 pound heavywaeight hoxer of Pittsburgh.

MORAN BACK, CONFIDENT THAT HE WILL|S BE THE NEXT CHAMPION He belleves Mile Races R. J. DUNCAN SPAETH, coach of the Princeton crews, is opposed to the four mile race for college crews. He says in a statement to the Prince- tonfan: “T have always been opposed to the four mile race for Princeton. There may be less harm in the longer race for those colleges which can practice for the full distance on their home course, but I do not believe in spend- ing so much time and money to send crews away for practice. I do not ob- Ject so much to the length of the race itself as I do to the training necessary to put men in shape for it. “Four miles is no harder on the men than two if they have been properly trained, but to prepare a crew for four miles necessitates putting them through more mileage under strain and is thus apt to overdevelop them. They are frequently made to suffer for this in after years; also it requires much more time to prepare for the longer contests and tends to intrude too much on the regular work of the college. If anything, it overempha- sizes the business of training and tends to make a grind out of what ought to be a recreation.” DEFIANCE TO BE LAUNCHED . MAY 11 THE racing sloop Deflance, a candi- date for the defense of the Ameri- ca’'s cup. will be launched on May 11, according to George M. Pynchon of New York, managing director of the tri-city syndicate which is building the boat at Bath, Me. This is the first date definitely an- nounced for the launching of any of the trio of yachts which will enter the elimination trials. A large delegation from the Boston Yacht club, of which the designer, George Owen, is a member, will attend the ceremony. and a special train will bring the syndicate members and friends. Both Mr. Pynchon and E. Walter Clark of Philadelphia, treasurer of the syndicate, were pleased with the prog- ress made. They said the framing was so far along that she would be ready for the planking in another week. BRING HOME TENNIS BACON. WTLLIAM ‘M.
