New York, Aprii 20.—The Giants #oon will have the reputation of being poor starters. Last year they had a troublesome time finding their stride, and this year they haven't done any- thing but be outplayed by the oppos- g clubs. The last two springs have een in big contrast to 1912, when the Giants were off to a flying start and ‘had an enormous lead before the sea- son was half over. They came near playing themselves out that year by midsummer, for they hit a fearful slump and before they got their sec- ond wind came near losing their lead. Better a slow start, as now, and more in reserve later on than a burst of success early to be rollowed by a collapse, a collapse which would be fatal to any' team avithout the in- herent strength of the Giants the last three years. ! We don’t know what is the matter with the Giants just now except that they aren’t winning and are tled with the Bostons in the number of games they haven’t won, In one battle the hitting wasn’t adequate, in another ‘ there was poor fielding with insuf- ‘ficient hitting, in the third Mathewson was cuffed hard; but why these things Were thus we are not of sufficient depth of baseball erudition to know. Sufficient to the day are the apparent Yeasons, and as only three games have been lost and there are 151 more to play, with such assets as McGraw, Matty, Tesreau, Marquard, Demaree, Merkle, Doyle, Fletcher, Burns, Mur- ray and the rest still on deck, we are not worrying at all ‘over 'the first week’s developments. . The Giants reached Baltimore in ‘ ‘eplendid condition. ‘They had lin- gered In the south longer than any other team and had more good weather. ‘Maybe the fact that they “‘haven’t got used to the different weather of the north as the ‘teams they have met have had has been a temporary handicap. Almost any- thing may be attributed to the weath- er. Several managers have declared, apropos of the early season weather bugaboo, that after this they'll favor staying south until the last moment. Perhaps that is better in the long run, ‘but three teams which in the first week showed fast and victorious Baseball and which did a lot‘of ante: $eason playing in cold and variable rorthern climes are the New York .Americans, Phillies and Brooklyns. "~ On the other hand, the Athletics ‘had the same experience and haven't ,won a game. The Athletics haven't ‘Deen hitting as well as the Giants. “They are playing llke a team which hasn’t opened out yet because of. be- " ing slow in reaching condition, as it they weren't as far along as the other ‘teams. There haven't been the slight- est symptoms that the reverses of the .Glants and Athletics are due to any new organic weakness, N. B, H. 8.

'WHITE WINGS MEET ELI IN NEW HAVEN Play for Championship of Elm City— College Boys Have Shown Disappointing Form, New Haven, Conn., April 20.—The scene is set for the city championship baseball series which starts today at ]| Yale field. Connell's New Haven club, runners-up in last year's Eastern association race, and Jack Blossom's fighting iclis will furnish the-fun, the sames to start at 4 o'clock. At a jii | T il late hour last night Connell stated that under ne circumstances would he | salute the flag. So the fight is on, weather permitting. The Yale team hu expectations in its caviy games. In the five games already played, tne Bulldog emerged triumphant in two contests. Three games were lost, one to Pennsylvania and two to University of Virginia. However, Captain Blos- som ‘is not worrying over his team’s | chances as he is positive that present nucleus is of championship | calibre. i The New Haven team has favorably impressed jts manager in the practice | games to date, The boys have found their batting eyes and are also field- ing brilliantly. Angerweir, Chancey, Schuyler and Claude Barr, will be the | new forces in the lineup this after- noon. = Angerwelr, according to Con- not lived up to the , . e » ! ] nell, will prove the backstop sensation 0 the league - Yale will have the advantage of several weeks of practice and s fa- vored to win. The New Haven team has been working out but eight days and may not reach its real form for possibly two weeks. Last year's series was won by the Yale nine chiefly through the wonder- fui batting of Johnnie Reilly. Rellly is considered the premier third base- man in the college world today. He will hold down third base again today end New Haven will have to keep him down.

In the suits of James B, Gaffney and William F. Baker for’ damages to the amount of $25,000 each of the deserting players was. named as joint and several defendants. In case the National league mag- nates win court decisions over their { contemporaries such players as Seaton and Quinn—who are virtually under ' contract—will have to stand their shares of the assessments. Their sularics wi'l be subject to attachment; And there is no more effective way of hounding a4 player than through his pocketbook. : In the meantime the National com-' mission is considering the request of the International league and the | American Association magnates whe suffered heavy losses through the di sertions of signed players to be pefs mitted to file a number of damage’ #uits against the Federal league pro- moters. 1t is generally understooa® that these big minor leagues will be instructed to go the limit. In which case the independents are very likely to have their hands full in the law courts before another month rolls round. - Aetna Bowling Alleys 83 Church Street The' Man Behind ! zhe Makings” __ ““Bull” Durham is first, last and!always a man’s smoke.
