Britain club has begun S pace and last week won ut of five games played, giv- a week's average of .600. The are rounding into shape and get- the kinks out of their arms and In every department the club ows a big improvement. Its de- fense is almost peerless, as is shown by the few number of stops made by Blount in comparison to the work of other goaltenders. This is by no means a reflection on New Britain's flashy goal guardian, but it shows that Jean and Coggeshall are hum- ming along at a rapid pace in their respective positions. Blount is one of the most popular boys that ever wore a mask. When he skates out onto the playing sur- face he is invariably given a big hand by the bleachers, with whom he is solid. He is a consistent player-and a hard worker. The fact that he is always in the pink of condition is as- cribed to his total abstinence from even the mildest of alcoholic liquors and also his refusal to worship at the shrine of My Lady Nicotine. It's funny to see a player get him- self in hot water by kicking against an_ opponent, “Hairless Barney” Doherty, leader of the New Haven club, put up a big holler Saturday night that the leather cord attached to Jean's club was longer than the regulations allow. Referee Walter Ahearn stopped the game to examine the cords on all the sticks and he found Doherty’s to be the longest in the crowd. And the bleachers didn’t do a thing to Barney. According to Jack Mercer this will be his last week in polo. Mercer is playing first rush for the Waterbury club and is said to have told a friend that he would quit the game forever this week. He has simply been fill- ing in for “Red” Williams, who doesn’t seem to be in any hurry to come east from his home in Illinois. The dear girls: sometimes do hit it right. Two were ehgaged in con- versation in the gallery at Hanna's armory and obne expressed herself as being puzzled because the New Haven players wore bandages around their foreheads. “Oh, that's simply to keep the bones from rattling,” re- plied the other. ! The Pittsfleld club is in a bad ! slump and, now bids falr to fall into the hole from which New Britain will pop presently. The Pittsfieldians have lost.five straight games and have been passed. in the race by Waterbury, Local fans cannot see how it is that New Britain loses on the road. At home the team puts up a gilt-edge article of ball and usually smothers all opposition. Probably the jinx does ;not dare put his head in Hanna's armory, but waits until the boys get outside the limits of New Britain, In Worcester, which will furnish the entertainment Thanksgiving eve at Hanna’s armory, New Britain fans will have the chance to see a new | club. The Massachusetts team has vet to make its appearance on the local surface, but it has made its | presence felt in the efforts of “Jim- - imy” Smith’s outfit to climb the lad- der, At the present writing Worces- ter and Poughkeepsie are neck and i neck for the lead. i | Jean and Williams, the latter of New i Haven, apparently don't love each other any too well. The two were in a number of choking matches Satur- day night. Referee Ahearn was forced to keep dancing around to be ready to ‘‘break™ them. On one occasion it was necessary. for him to step in and pry them apart. He blamed Jean for the mixup, but it was really the fault of the little chap on the Elm city five. | Saturday night's score was as fol- i lows: New Britain, | Lincoln New Haven. ‘Willilams | Quigley Harkins | Jean Doherty Mallory First Period.

New York, Nov. 23.—Joe Shugrue of Jersey City, who returned recently from an extended invasion of Aus- tralia, has been matched by Jimmy Johnston to box Lightweight Cham- pion Freddie Welsh ten rounds in Madison Square Garden on Wednes- day night, December 2. Shugrue made a great impression in the antipodes, beating such good boys as Hugh Mehegan and Herbert McCoy. On his way the Jersey lad stopped off in Milwaukee and out- pointed Charley White, the Chicago boxer, who gave Welsh such a good battle a few weeks ago. AY, NOVEMBER 23 1914 'es Toward New Britain for Thanksgiving Day COEED BOESUARAN S e eversgantre e Chicago, Nov. 28.—The terms un- | der which Roger Bresnahan signed to manage the Cubs, according to newspapers quoting a ‘trustworthy source,” include a salary of $6,000 as player and $12,000 as manager, or $18,000 a year, A clause providing that the new manager cannot be dethroned without his consent until the expiration of his three years’ term also was included. Speculating on the future of Hank O’Day, deposed ‘West Side leader, to make room for Bresnahan, Chicago fans believe he will again join President Tener's staff of umpires. Upon his retirement as Cincinnati maneger he resumed his Sportography BY “GRAVY.” During the last baseball season the gentle art of ‘“jumping” was much practiced by baseball stars, but they were mere pikers compared with some of the “‘jumpers” of that period when the National | and American leagues were waging bitter ‘and re- lentless war on each ather. It was almost a daily occurrence for some player to jump from one circuit to the other, and turn around, and jump right back again. Qf all the “jumpers” of that palmy period of the players, the champion was Jimmy Sheckard. He set up a new world’s record for ‘“jumping,” which will probably never be sur. passed. Jimmy’s fickle ways are re- called by the fact that this is the thirty-fifth anniversary of his birth. James Tilden Sheckard was born in Pennsylvania on November 23, 1879. The present crop of fans remember Jimmy principally as the able left- flelder of Murphy & Chance’s pen- nant-grabbing Cubs, but Jimmy was playing big league ball, and helping to cop flag, long before that. When he was only fifteen he played semi- pro ball with Marietta, O., and Lan- caster, Pa., and at sixteen he became a real league player with Portsmouth, Va. In 1897 he was outfielder for the Brockton club of the New Eng- land league, and was the sensation of the season, batting .370. Such a performance naturally attracted wide attention, and in 1898 he was signed by the Brooklyn Nationals. The fol- lowing year he was with the Balti- more Orioles, but in 1900 he returned to Brooklyn. He helped Brooklyn win the pennant that year. In 1901 he was the premier swatter of the old major circuit, smashing the vill to the tune of .353. It was at this period—a dark and gloomy one for the magnates—that Jimmy pulled off his great jumping stunt. John McGraw was then man- aging an American league club in Baltimore, but it was a hopeless sec- ond division aggregation, and the faus, accustomed to the sensational playing of the old Orioles, refused to enthuse over the new league's outfit, Mc. Graw needed a good outfielder, and, as Sheckard was about the best in those days, he went after him. Star players were then able to name prac- tically their own terms, but although Sheckard was not unduly modest the Baltimoreans came across. But Brooklyn also wanted Sheckard, so every time Baltimore offered a boost in salary Brooklyn came right back with another raise. On eight separate and distinct oc- ' casions Sheckard jumped from one league to the other. It was great fun—for him—and he played the clubs against each other to the limit. In the end, however, Brooklyn won out, and when the cruel war was over Jimmy was wearing a Brooklyn uni- form. He remained with the Brooklyns until the close of the 1905 season, | when he went over to the Cubs. And, speaking of luck, that very year the Cubs achieved the pennant, and re-| peated in 1907, 1908 and 1910.

Newspapers also published a report that Archer, the Cub catcher, is considering an offer from the Buf- crowd WHOLE STATE COMING Hanng’s Bouts Chief Sporting in Connect cut Thanksgiving. The influx of visitors to New Brit- ain Thanksgiving evening will be a repetition on a small scale of the that flowed toward New Ha- ven Saturday, the attraction being W. W. Hanna's all-s'ar boxing show at Hanna's armory. This will be the chief sporting at- traction in the state and every cit here from line to line is expected to con- ! tribute its contingent of fans. There has been an unusually heavy demand for tickets, indicating that the arm- ory will be packed from ringside to ceiling. story that “Young” Sharkey is going to prove a tartar for ‘'Buddy"” Faulkes in the main bout of twelve rounds. Sharkey’s camp is keeping mum and doing nothing but sawing wood but it is known that his fol- lowers expect that he will be the “white hope” of the bantam eclass. Faulkes has whipped nearly every Caucasian he has been pitted against. He has cleaned up Connecticut and aspirations of many a rpale face. 1t was with the anticipation of put- ting a stop to the negro's growing string of victories that Sharkey was signed to meet him. The question arises: Will Sharkey be the man to show up Faulkes? If he proves to be, his path toward the seats occupied by the top notchers will be straight and easy as he will have turned a trick that no bantam in this state has been able to equal. Faulkes has been so successful in the game that he has ceased to worry. All white men look alike to him and come with the line forming on the left. After delivering the goods ;against “Battling”” Lahn, the knock- out king of Brooklyn, he fears no one and expects to collect Sharkey’s scalp | before the night is over. It may be a different story with falo Federals. He refused to discuss the rumor. remained with Chicago until 1912, and the following year rounded out his National league career with St. Louis and Cincinnati. As an outflelder, Sheckard had few superiors. As a batter, he passed the .300 mark three years during his big league career and was always a dependable man with the stick. But it is as a “jumper” that he is en- titled to enduring fame. NAVY LINEUP NOT CHOSEN. Backfield Choices for Army Not Yet Decided. Annapolis, Nov. 23.—The Academy coaches have still to de- termine the occupants of several of the positions on the team which will meet the Army eleven on Saturday, and are confronted with the fact that hard scrimmages are inadvisable ow- ing to the danger of injuries or overtraining to the players who must bear the brunt of the battle. They will choose largely upon the work of the team in recent games and prac- tices. It appears certain that Miles will start the game at quarter, and Blod- gett at one of the halves, but either Failing or Craig may start at ahe other half, and Bates may be chosen over H. Harrison at fullback. The choice at right end was very doubtful up to Saturday, but T. Harrison’s work in catching forward passes will probably give him the preference over Jackson, Moran and Fischer. The work of Kennedy at' left tackle has not been satisfactory, and he may be supplanted by McCoach. Game Naval TODAY IN PUGILISTIC ANNALS. 1823—George Brown, a prominent pugilist and manager of three-score vears ago, born at Brighton, Eng. The veteran of the old prize ring was still among the living at last reports, and, unless he has since died, will cele- brate his 91st birthday today. Brown's own ring record was not remarkable, and his chief claim to fame was in introducing Jem Mace to the sport- ing public. It was in 1858 that Brown issued a challenge ta Bob Brettle, then one of the most famous of boxers, on behalf of an “‘unknown.” The novice proved to, be Jem Mace. Although he had fought in several battles before that, Mace was still in- experienced, and the taunts of Bret- tle’'s supporters so angered him that he fell an easy victim to Bob’s terrific right. Brown afterward developed Jem into the cleverest champion the] world had ever seen. Brown was one of the seconds for Sayers in his battle for the world’s title with Hee- nan. 1887—Tommy Devlin, French-Irish lightweight, born at Philadelphia. 1896—RBob Armstrong defeated Frank Slavin in 6 rounds at Phila- delphia. 1900-—Buddy Ryan defeated Tommy Sullivan in 6 rounds at Chicago. GUY NICKALLS LEAV Guy Nickalls, coach of the Yale crew, left New Haven Saturday for New York. Today he booked passags to London, England. He will not re- turn here until spring, whien the crew practice will be resumed, another Connecticut battler, “Tommy” Shea of Waterbury.
