MHALE AND RUELBACH GO THE FULL ROUTE Braoklyn Evens Up Greater New York Series by Beating Yankess. New York, April 8.-—Brooklyn eygned the series with the New York A.nmericans by winning ' yesterday’'s game at Ebbets Field by the close score of 5 to 4. It was a baseball battle all the way, one of those games where the score seesawed back and forth and which was in doubt until the very last man had been retired. Neither club looked so good in this fourth engageément as in. any of the preceding exhibitons despite the fact that it was the first real baseball weather that had been experienced sfce the return home. But the faults of the rivals developed in such a manner as to add excitement rather than to detract from the game. And on several occasions both clubs arose to such heights of brilliancy as to re. deem whatever mistakes cropped out. A most pleasing feature was the excellence of the opposing boxmen, ¥d Reulbach and Marty McHale. The giant who was one of Frank Chance's main dependencies in the old Cub days cezgainly justified all the compliments irbert Robinson has handed him this “gpring. Reulbach lacks a trifle of his sensational speed of (past years, but he ' has more than counteracted this de- ficiency through control. His chief weakness heretofore in early spring was wildness. Yesterday he gave only twe passes. One of these was directly the result of trying to work the cor- ners. Marty McHale, the Irish Thrush, ke Reulbach, went the full route. He finished stronger than he dpened, . in line with Chance’s contention that any one of half a dozen tossers is ready to go the distance with Connie Mack’s ‘world's champions. McHale pitched slightly better ball than Reulbach. Ak fast ball was especialy effective hnd mixed cunningly with a good hook and an occasional spitter.

Tigers Win in Ninth. Princeton, April 8.—Princeton pulled another ganie out of the fire in the ninth inning yesterday when it de- feated Colgate by a score of 6 to 4. The game was slow and listless. The visitors pelted the ball for ten safeties, but were not as fortunate as the Tigers in timing them. Reed was the bat- ting star of the fray, smashing out three doubles out of four times at bat. His two base hit in the ninth sent Hoyt across the plate for the winning tally.

New Haven, April 8.—Manager Jerry Connell, upon whose broad shoulders rests the burden of guid- ing New Haven through the tortu- ous channels of the Eastern associa- tion, awoke the fans from their win- ter nap by dropping in on them yes- | terday. Connell went to baseball headquarters and had encouraging reports regarding the condition of Boss Cameron, who is still in a Chi- cago hospital. Connell sald that the local magnate stood the recent oper- ation very well. Connell was not here long, but boarded a rattler for his home in Winsted, where he spent the night. He will return tomorrow, however, and look over the pitchers, who have been ordered to report today. They will be sent through the light work only. The remainder of the squad will be here next week.

New York, April 8.—The McMahon brothers, Jess and Ed, were brought before the State Athletic Commission at its weekly meeting yesterday to answer charges made by the Ameri- can Bonding company of Baltimore, which alleged indebtedness to the amount of $851.860.

New York, April 8.—According to what appeared to .be a well founded rumor President Charles H. Ebbets of the Brooklyn National league club began preliminary steps yesterday to- ward having Joe Tinker enjoined from appearing with the Chicago Federal league club. Mr. Ebbets admitted last night that he had been in consultation with| a leading law firm of New York and that the nature of his business was So very pressing that he was half an hour late for the ball game between the New York and Brooklyn clubs. He refused, however, to discuss the nature of his business or to admit that he proposed to go to law over Tinker. “I have declared all along that I | considered Joe Tinker the property of the Brooklyn club,” said Mr. Eb- bets. “I shall still continue to reégard him g0 until he has actually taken part in games With the outlaw league. 1 have sald repeatedly that I did not think he would play with the Brook- lyn Federals and I have not changed my mind. I do not mean by this that I have decided to take my case to the law courts, I simply have nothing to say on the Tinker situation at the present time. There may be some- ! thing later.” President Ebbets declared last winter that Tinker would never be allowed to play with any club othér than Brooklyn if he was forced to g0 broke in fighting the case. He plain- 1y showed yesterday that his attitude of belligerence is unchanged from the time he first learned of Tinker's INVITE AMERICANS T® COMPETE. French Exposition at Lyons to Fea- ture Athletic Sports. New York, April 8.An invitation has been extended to American ath- letes, through the Amateur Athletic union, to visit France during the com- ing outdoor season. The Hon. Edouard Harriot, mayor of Lyons, has written to James E. Sullivan asking Americans to compete in the games of the International ex- position, which is to be held at Lyons between the months of May and No- vember. Sports will be an important feature of the exposition and the Frenchmen are anxious to get some cracks from this country. In probability Homer Baker of the New York A. C, the half mile champlion, will make the trip, as he already has been making plans for a visit to the other side. RACE TRACK RAIDED. Sport Ends When Attorney General And Deputies Arrive. Norfolk, Va., April 8.—The spring race meeting at Jamestown track came to an abrupt end yesterday. Attorney General Pollard made good his threats to stop betting by de- scending upon the course with a score of deputies just before the second race and arresting twelve bookmakers and their assistants. Some such action was anticipated, but it was believed \that only one arrest would be made, and that for a test.case. The meeting was to have run until April 16, but the association decided last night not to continue further in the face of such opposition. . SBEATON FIRM. Gulfport, Miss.,, Aprll 8.—Manager Tinker of the Chicago Federals and President R. B.

Both pitchers declare they will not go to Brooklyn under any consideration. & DUBLINS ISSUE CHALLENGE. The Dublins of this city are ready desertion. “Now is the time for organized baseball. to fight,” said Mr. Ebbets. “Personally I think our contracts will stand the test of the law courts and I have advocated a legal test from the first. I consider Joe Tinker my property through the right of reserve. 1 am not saying I will fight for him in the courts. But I shall not tamely submit to his loss.” Brownsville, Tex., April 8.—Prep- arations for a movement south were seen at constitutionalist headquar- ters in Matamoras. Officers received orders to be ready to leave in the next two days for Ramones Station, forty-nine miles north of Monterey. It was believed the movement pre- saged an early attack on Monterey.

New .York, April 8.—The biggest surprise that has been handed east- ern boxing fans in years occurred last night when George Chip, a lead~ ing ciaimant ‘for the middleweight title, was knocked out in the first round of a scheduled ten-round match by Al McCoy of Brooklyn. McCoy recently lost to Mike Gibbons, the St. Paul flash. McCoy, the winner, had been considered only a fairly good middleweight. In the first round Chip assumed the offensive and was forcing McCoy around the ring when the latter land- ed his first blow—the knockout, This was a left-hooking upper cut which' landed on the end of Chip's chin. Chip fell on his back, his head strik« ing the floor, and he was unable to rise at the referee’'s count of ten. He wag carried to his corner where he was still dazed several minutes after McCoy had left the ring. Chip weighed 162 1-4 pounds— 6 1-4 pounds more than his opponent, It was Chip’s first appearance in & local ring. Chip was considered the logioal as- pirant to the middleweight title, left the death of Stanley Ketchel. He twice knocked out Frank Kiaus of Pittsburg, one of the best of the present day middles welghts, who had defeated Georges Carpentier, the French middleweight, TOWN CORIER COMES BACK.
