Colonel Roosevelt, Anna Shaw and ever so many other persons have pointed out that when the women are united on any project they are bound to win. Yesterday they weré ali for Robinson. It is certain that the roses did not grow near Ebbets fleld, for the wind was a north one and it gave greet- ings from the arctic in every puff. It must be told that 'in" 'spite of the damp, raw day the players of both teams appeared in fine condition and- played fast, snappy baseball. Thf score: h. e.

PREPARI FOR PONIES. Billy Gleason Rams Ball Over Holyoke Fence—Amateurs Out in Force. Holyoke, April 3.—Many visited the playgrounds yesterday af- ternoon and limbered up their arms a little in preparation for the sea- | son’s work. Among those who went through a little practice were Willian Gleason and John Malone. spent a little time in batting the bail around. As he drove the sphere .over the fences around the Hampden- street” grounds he remarked to the bystanders, “Just watch me drive the ball over- League park fence next summer, when I'm with the Spring- field team.” Gleason expects to re- port to Springfield in a few weeks. He is now in fine condition. Malone stated yesterday afternoon that before he left Worcester the coach | informed him that he had ‘“made” the Worcester academy baseball team, but he was undecided as to what po- sition Malone would be played in. Malone is a clever infielder as well as an outfielder. Among the others out were members of the Paragons, St. Jerome’s and Wizard’s basebail teams. A large crowd of spectators watched the proceedings. BOULTES RATTLES CAN. Robertaille, Batch * and Dropped by Bridgeport.

Bartliff, the last named player being one of those signed for a trial from the ' Bartlif “egt eports reached Secretary Hugh F. Reddy and Manager Boultes that Bartliff was not what he appeared to be when he was secured, and his re- lease was decided .upon. It was de- cided some time dgo that Batch and Robertaille would not be with the locals this season. DUNLOP WITH CLEVELAND. ‘“Booie’’ Dunlop, who formerly played third base for the New Britain team, is going well playing third base for the Cleveland regulars. In a game against the Yannigans, Dunlop made two hits out of three times‘up. When Dunlop was with New Britain the fans | would- have fainted if he made one hit a week.

The Phillles have been bard hit by the Federal league and will not be able to stop the New York boys to any exteant.

HOPES OF BEATING MATTY a Disappointed C owd ¢t h; End Beaumont, Tex., April 3.—Heavy batting by Merkle, Murray and Bes- cher and the steady pitching of Mathewson and Hearn gave the { Glants an easy victory over the Oilers khere yesterday afternoon. The second game of the series was a contest yp to the fifth inning when the Giants took the bit in their teeth’ and ran away with the spoils. They gathered sixteen hits for a total of twenty-four bases. The score was 12 to 1. The Beaumont boys, although they were easily beaten, dérived much sat- isfaction in scoring on Mathewson. A let of folks down this way consider that no minor league player is entitled to get as much as a foul off Matty, and any lad who gets to him for a hit is never released before the season starts. | Mathewson's regular spring per- fecrmance in Beaumont is now an oc- casion. It was the first ladies’ day cf the season, and it .was a success frcm every angle. hot_ but that did not keep anybody away. The women came out in sum- mer attire and in-great numbers, while the male fans took off their coats and | made thmselves comfortable. Straw hats were too common to be notlced.’ In honor: of this assemblage Mathewson pitched six innings as ad- vertised. Jack Murray made two throws to the home plate and Fred Merkle obliged with a home run over the center field fence. The Giants did not start to pound the ball until the fifth inning, but they: made up for lost time then. In the last four innings they collected thir- teen-safe hits, and all twelve of their runs. Up to that time the home team had a dream of beating Mathewson and bragging about it for a long time. Bob Bescher did more batting than at any time since the team left Mar- lin. He was up five times and after But it Was and ¢ Grif can develop a couple of good hurlers to help Johnson along it should be a dingdong racé to the wire. It's a toss up between the Red Sox, ‘White Sox and Naps for the remain- ing first division berths.

This was announced by President Gilmore, who returned from a visit to the training camp of the Chicago Federals at Shreveport, La. He confirmed the report that two mi- nor outlaw leagues would be formed next year to provide Federal “farms.” “Next year we will have at least two minor leagues working in conjunction with us” said Gllmore. “If we are in organized ball then they will be; if not, then they will be ‘outlaws’ as we are called now." No Jumpers Here. John M. Ward, business manager of the Brooklyn Feds, who practices law, is opposed to contract jumping. He says that he is not in sympathy with President Gilmore's rule or ruin policy. The backers of the new club at Wash- ington park also will refuse to engage players who have signed with organ- ized baseball.
