NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, THURSDAY, AUGUST 13, 191 | KIS OUTPLAY PONIES ;\ WITH PETE PITCHING Uones Makes Spectacular Steal; " Ump Chases McDonald. { Showing renewed-vigor and playing the snappiest kind-of baseball during the entire game New Britain took yesterday’s ' contest from Springfield by the score of 7 to 1. The locals }out-batted and out-played the Spring- |field men at every stage of the game “apd during the sixth inning, when {they chalked up three runs on as many hits, they literally played rings around their opponents. Si McDonald Banished. All during the game Umpire Kelly had more or less trouble with the Springfleld players and warned them § repeatedly about making too much I noige. Finally matters came to a head when in the sixth inning Man- ager Si McDonald undertook to tell fthe ump what he thought of him. “Shut up,” says Mr. Kelly. “Aw, g’wan, you piece of cheese” responded Mr. Si. “shut up and get out,” came back 't I direct my men from the * argued the Springfield man- “No, get out,” was the reply. Finally, when McDonald showed no signs of obeyving Umpire Kelly shouted for Officer Charles Grace to remove him. Then McDonald thought dis- cretion the better part of valor and dusted. But as he slid through the gates he took one last verbal whack at Umpire Kelly and disappeared. Strikes Out Six. From a baseball point of view the locals played in championship form, a wild throw to third by Crook and a low throw to first by Noyes, being the only misplays. Pete Wilson was never better and aside from striking out six men, Cabby being one of them, he made a safe hit and scored a run himself. Justin did not secure a single strike out and each pitcher walked four men. Jones’ Spectacular Steal. Features of the game were catches by Swander and two base hits by Jones, Zeimer, Dawson and Swander. Jones also made a spectacular steal of the keystone sack in the third inning. With Dawson on third he took a long lead off first and when the pitcher threw the ball to Stankard he raced for second. After him raced Stankard but the latter stopped in time to throw to the bag ahead of the fleet-footed New Britain out- fielder. . At that very moment how- ever, “Wee Willle” threw himself headlong ‘into the bag and slid safely under the outstretched hands of the Pony shortstop who was holding the ball waiting to touch him. He scored a moment later. The box score: New Britain. - ab. r. Dawson, If. .. Tetreault, rf. Jones, cf. . Zeimer, ss. . Crook, 1b. Noyes, 3b . Clark, 2b. . Egan, c.

JOE WALCOTT NAMES COMING WHITE HOPE Says Gunboat Smith Should Add “A Little Heart to His Awful Wal- lop.”—Leaves Kensington. “Why, I think Gunboat Smith is about as promising a White Hope as there is in the fighting ring at the present time,” declared Joe Wal- cott, the negro pugilist who gained universal fame a number of years ago by winning and holding the welter- weight championship of the world when interviewed yesterday after- noon just before he left P. S. Me- Mahon's farm in Kensington for New York to second “Battling Jim” John- son in his ten round bout with Sam Langford. “If Gunboat had a little more heart in addition to his awful wallop, he would be much more dangerous than he is now.” The ‘ex- champion also spoke well of Car- pentier’s ability. 3 H Since his right hand was injured by a pistol shot some timk ago, Wal- cott has practically retired from the professional ring. He sticks to the game, however, and is an interested spectator or second at all of the im- portant® fights. It is forty-two years ago now since this pugilist was born, in Barbadoes, West Indies. Although he stands but five feet, one and a half inches in his stocking feet, he has been able to send.many a heavyweight to the mat, having been defeated only three times in nearly fifty battles, twice by Myste- rious Billy Smith and once by Tom- my West. He has never been knocked out. Walcott speaks well of P. S.'s farm and considers it an adeal place for a prize fighter’s training camp. He in- tends to return to Kensington to assist “Battling Jim” in his training, if the latter is successful in arrang- ing any more bouts in the near future, Up-to-date apparatus will be in- stalled in the buildings on the place, if the fighters return. o RANGERS VS, BRASS CITYS. Another exciting game is promised the fans who attend Sunday’s game at Ranger fleld. The strong Brass City team will be here again ang with a record of sixteen games won out of seventeen played, they prom- ise to make things lively. But with Nelson in the box the Rangers are confident they can defeat the Wa- terbury boys. Two weeks ago the Brass Citys defeated the Rangers, scoring all their runs in the first in- ning, but Nelson held them without a hit or run for eight innings, If the Rangers win Sunday a third game will no doubt be arranged to decide which is the better team. The Brass Citys will probably introduce a new pitcher for this game, while Bloom and Nelson will form the Ranger battery. Game called at 3 o’clock. Umpire Mr. Haugh. FEDS NOT AFTER JONES, 8t ol AYS. 18.—James @il more, president of the Federal bage. ball league, was in St. Louis, byt sajq he had not met Fielder Jones, who was reported on his way from Port. land, Ore., to meet Gilmore. So far as known, Jones was not in the city. Mr. Gilmore said he had made nq proposition to Jones regarding the purckase of stock in a Federal league club, and that Jones had not re- quested the league to offer him stock. and Most.

Bill has jumped from the Providence team of the International league to play under the banner of Otto Knabe for the Terrapins. Bailey was for several years a member of the 8t. Louis American league team. He had plenty of speed and curves in those days, but he was a bundle of nerves, and he pitched his head off all the time. So long as he could keep LOOK FORWARD TO - BEST FOOTBALL YEAR Coaches Will Have to Sit Quiet Benches This Year.—May Be on Hard Work. For many reasons the foetball sea- son of 1914 is likely to be one of the best in years. In the first place, many intersectional contests, includ- ing the Michigan-Harvard game, will attract attention, and Yale and Princeton expect to dedicate their new stadiums. Then the changes in the rules under which the teams will play are important in at least one re- spect—that regarding coaches. The methods of training will have to be materially different among some of the teams, with the coaches sitting on the side lines with no opportunity to engineer the plays as they have in the past. There has always been a rule against coaching from the side lines, but that has been honored more in the breach than in the ob- servance. This year the coaches will be obliged to stick to the benches, and no one will be permitted to wander up and down the side lines, which is a mighty good thing for the sport, There have been teams in the past which have been directed from the lines beyond question, and the cap- tains have been drilled to watch for the signals as to the plays. This year the duty.of the coaches will have to be to teach the men how to play foot- ball. and then sit and watch them do it. Of course, there will be remarks between the halves, but once out on the gridiron, the men will have to use their own brains. That changes are necessary in the practice will he easily understood when one stops to consider what would happen if Me- Graw left the Giants to their fate once a game was begun.

Pleasants Must Earn Right to Play His Men. Sporting Editor Herald, Dear Sir: In reply to Mr. Guenther 1 wish to state that the Pioneers and Rangers have completed arrange- ments for a series starting next month. I also wish to impress up- on his mind that the Mt. Pleasants tried to arrange a series with the Pioneers, claiming to be the best team in the city, and if the Pioneers ac- cepted everything would have been rosy, but the fact that the Rangers were picked as the team to fight it out with the Pioneers has caused soreness. The Rangers have received one letter from Mr. Guenther while he claims he has challenged time and time again. The Rangers are not afraid to play the Mt. Pleasants, or any other team but will not cancel games on its schedule in order to satisty Mr. Guenther or any other manager and we are booked up un- til the series and I believe the same is true of the Pioneers. If the Mt. Pleasants defeat the East Ends in the series which is now being played they can claim the right to play the winner of the Pioneer-Ranger series and then the city championship will be settled, Yours respectfully, A. C. HANNA, 57 Fairview street. Mgr. Rangers, EAST ENDS WILL PLAY. The East Ends will journey to Farmington Saturday afternoon and play the strong team that represents that town in the Valley league.® The team and rooters will leave New Brit- ain on the 1:07 trolley. The follow- ing men will make the trip: Berry, Cunningham, Campbell, Schroeder, Moore, Begley. Oberg, Donavan, Fu- sari, J. Wright, Abrahamson and T. Wright. NEW LONDON MONDAY, The next home game that local fans will be able to see will be on Monday afternoon when the fast go- ing New London team will be hare again. The locals are to meet tais team but three more times. The game will undoubtedly be one of the fastest of the season as hoth teams go at top notch when they meet. New Britain plays two games in Springfield this afternoon and one there Friday. The double header yes- terday was called off because of the likelthood of rain, and only one game was played yesterday. There were just forty-eight fans out to see one of the best games of the season in New Britain.

Brooklyn, Aug. 13.—Almost unhit- table pitching by Larry Cheney checked the Dodgers’ rout of the Cubs at Ebbets field yesterday afternoon { and gave Hank O'Day’s scrappers one victory in the four-game series by a score of 4 to 1. At all stages of the contest Cheney held the players at bay, were they able to break off his de- livery. One of this meagre allotment all were made by Zack Wheat.

St. Juouis, Aug. 13.—Coming from behind with a furious rush, the St. Loupis Miners downed the Brooklyn Tip Tops here yesterday afternoon. The score was 8 to 5. The Tip Tops dashed off in the lead, scoring four runs. These tallies loomed large on the horizon, for Bert Maxwell was well nigh invincible for the first three innings. Then he lost his effectiveness. He passed four men to base, and the locals grouped five singles around his gifts for half a dozen runs. These In themselves would have been sufficient to win the game, but as a precaution- ary measure two more were pushed over in the seventh. By that time, however, Ed Lafitte was on the rub- ber. Dave Davenport, formerly of the Reds, pitched for the Miners, and after that first inning had the situa- tion well in hand. Although he al- lowed more than the usual number of hits he had the good fortune to keep them well scattered and prevent- ed the scoring of runs. The flelding was loose, half a dozen errors creeping into the game. score: 9 St. Louis ...00060020x—S8 Brooklyn 400001000—5 Batteries—Willett, Keupper, Daven- port and Simon; Maxwell, Lafitte ana Owens.

Probably Si did feel somewhat cheap after his exhibi- tion, of temper. Swander's catch of Clark’s fly in the seventh inning robbed him of a sure o bagger. It was some catch too, as the fielder almost knocked the fence down in grabbing it.
