Rookie hurlers who come up from the minor leagues, no hit games and sensationa] performances, should take a lesson from Sallee in spring training. The time was when Sal was a kid and when he put everything on the first ball. No more with Sal, though. Huggins, too, intends to change his system with Sallee. TLast summer 22— should fight again for the stakes. Caunt's seconds claimed that as Ben- digo had gone down without a blow the victory belonged to Big Ben. In. 1840 Caunt fought John Leech- man, known as Brassey, and defeated him by a close margin after a hun- c¢red rounds of fighting. Bendigo showed no desire at that time to re- rew the conflict and Caunt, having et with an accident that for the | time kept him out of the ring. Caunt then claimed the championship and defended it against Nick Ward, a brothem of Jem, the ex-champion. Nick war an able fighter, but vel-| icw to the core, and Caunt won an easy vietory and in 1841 was Tecog- mzed as champion. In 1845 Ben- digo had recovered, and challenged his old enemy. This time Bendigo won on a foul. Caunt retired from ttie ring and became the boniface of | a “pub,” where he prospered until his house was destroyed by a fire in which his two children were burned to | death, a tragedy which darkened the 1emainder of his life.

Jabkson | was about 37 when he met Jeff, then a brawny youngster of 22 ,and the life of London and other great, had robbed the big black of his stamina and much of his speed and‘ science. Jackson had been out of the | ring for years, and his try at a “come- hack” with Jeff was a pititur farce. Jackson Was at his best when John L. Sullivan wore the pugilistic crown, and against him the Bostonian wisely drew the color line. In 1891 Peter, «lthough handicapped by an inj had received in a runaway a fought Jim Corbett 61 rounds to a draw. After his bout with Jert the big ‘est Indian negro returned to Aus- ia, where he had started his fight- ing career.

He carried two men, both of whom were roped to his body. i e and the year before Hug used Sallee in the pinch frequently. When some one has needed to save a tight game down the stretch Sal wusually was called out from the bull pen. This yanked him out of his regular turn, and he seldom had more than a couple of days’ rest. Hug intends to have Hub Perdue d&nd Dan Gainer shoulder the burden in the pinch this summer. And with this schedule Sal should go better in 1915 than in 1914, when he ranked fifth in the pitchers’ list. THREATENED BREACH IN GOLLEGES HEALED Pean. Decides fo Contious a8 Mcmbsr of Swimming League. York, March 22.—The Uni- versity of Pennsylvania Swimming as- decided to remain a member of the Intercollegiate Swim- ming association and the threatened disruption of the organization was avoided after a stormy session of the association at the Hotel McAlpin yes- terday. After a long argument, Penn- sylvania decided to withdraw ts pro- test of the meet with Columbia here on February 22. Pennsylvania's protest was based on the decision of the referee, Joe Ruddy, in the 100-yard swim at the water carnival when he disqualified J. N. Shyrock of Pennsylvania_ tho winner of the event, and placed Charles T.ee of Columbia first. The referee maintained that Shyrock crossed Vollmer, one of the Columbia contestants, on the return, and so took the victory from him. New Big Split Threatened. For a time it looked as though the league would be split wide open and a new one formed which would admit many more colleges to membership than the present association does. Any such result seems to have been avert- ed by the willingness of the Philadel- phians to withdraw from their posi- tion. As a compromise, a play-off was arranged at the meeting to decide the championship between FPennsylvania, Yale and Columbia. These three col- leges were tied at the close of the in- ter-collegiate series, and it was be- cause of this fact that the University of Pennsylvania pressed its protest. The first of the meets to decide the championship wiill be held between Yale and Pennsylvania on March 31 in the College of the City of New York pool. Yale held out for some time against this tank, as the Elis did not want to swim in a 100-foot tank be- cause their relay team is trained to a 600-foot relay race and not an §00- foot event. Yale will swim Columbia on April 1 at the New York A. C. tank and the third in the iding series will be held on April 17 between Columbia al ania at Princeton. The WO out of the three meets fared the champion. On the Alleys O. U. A. M. LEAGUE. Won Lost Stars ... & 20 Reds Whites Blues ... v 3B High single—Clark, 255.

Eastern tennis men of prominence, players and club officlals have recent- ly been impressed with the dearth of lawn tennis material in this section of the country. With a view to improving this condition of affairs the Executive Committee of the United States Na- tional Lawn Tennis association 1is urging all clubs to arrange junior touraments, and the establishment of junior championship tournaments will be encouraged throughout the country. Pacific Coast Gaining Prominence. The old masters, who for so many vears established and maintained the pre-eminent position of the east in the tennis world, are now slowly wlt.h- drawing from active competition and their positions are 'being largely taken by representatives of the Pacific coast instead of players living in the Atlantic Seaboard states. Past rec- ords show that of the first ten ranked players in the country at least eight of them could be counted on as east- ern meén. But with the withdrawal of Willlam Larned, Beals C. Wright, Raymond D. Little, and others of abil- ity not quite so far-famed, came the onrush of the Californians, first in the persons of Maurice E. McLough- lin, Melville Long and T. C. Bundy, and later the younger element, Lindley Murray, William W. John- will fill the remainder of the ten positions unless curbed by the de- velopment of eastern material. Must Look in Schools. material in the east followers of the game must look through the prepara- tory and high schools. A player does not necessarily have a mushroom rise to prominence in tennis. R. Norris ‘Williams, the national champion, and many of the leading exponents of the game learned to play in their youth, and with rare exceptions the game needs a life devotion in order for the player to reach any remarkable de- gree of excellence. which commands concentration, and in his scholastic if day whose record and collegiate years, college. but proves it necessary to look for material among the youth in their teens.

With a runner on first, | Miah steamed back to the stand and made a magnificent catch of a foul fly. “The crowd broke into roars of ap- plause. Murry, leaning against the stand, took off his cap and bowed right and left, and the runner, siz. ing up the situation,’lit out from first, kept right on going, and came all the way around while Miah kept bow- ing and the rest of the team were screeching and raving, all in vain!” HEAD PLAY.

The play was fast and the rough element was practically eliminate! 1 There were numerous long shots, for when the Alumni started to sweep the school boys off their reet in the first half, the latter resorted to heav- ing and throwing the shots from any angle and distance. With the better teamwork, the grads cleariy outplayed | the regulars, who found this essential totally lacking. Towards the end of the game the teams alternated in lead- mg. First one would rorge two or three points ahead only to have their slim lead overcome ,a few moments | later by their opponents. When the last home game of a long season started, the High school team played almost as poorly as when they commenced the season three months before. Stepanian and Vensel Legan their scoring fest immediately after the opening of the game. The school boys were outplgyed 1n this bhalf, man for man, with the exception of Dudack, who was tne ovne bright star of the evening. He held Captain Hultgren of the alumni scoreless, while he managed to make three Las besades playing a fine pass- ing game. The first half ciosed 23-17, the alumni taking the Initiative. In the second half the school boys displayed a grand come-back quickly overcoming the lead of iHeir adver- saries and heading them by three points, The half passed quickly and with four minutes to play the alumni led 40-38. Moody dampened all hopes of the school for victory with a basket that set the grads four points to the good. Dudack scored for the school boys and Schade added another point cn a foul shot. Time shortened, and the gcore stood 42-41.

According to gossip about the Yale campus, Albert Dillon Sturtevant, »f Washington, D. C., who was last week named captain of the crew to suc- ceed Thomas B. Denegre, owed his selection for this honor to the toss of a coin. There vote upon were only four men eligible the captaincy-—Allan McLane, the coxswain; Jim Sheldos, Seth Low, 2d, and Sturtevant. Sev- eral ballots were taken, so the storws goes, without any sclection being When it became apparent would be difficult to secute a with so few voting, it was sug- gested that Sturtevant toss a coin with one of the other candidates who seemed to be likely of election. This was agreed to as a sporting proposi- tion and the coin tossed--and™ Sturtevant won. Jim Sheldon, the football star, who was the only other last year man elig- ible, is believed to have been the man who tossed with Sturtevant. made. that it choice was BASEBALL AT SING Ossining, March opened its baseball with a hotly contested game between the “Osbornes” and the “Johnsons," convict teams named respectively af- ter Thomas Mott Osbarne, the warden, and Charles Johnson, deputy warden. 1t was a snappy game and resulted in a victory for the “‘Johnsons' -—score 20 to 18, SING,” Sing . 8ing season yesterday O\ “Bull” D GENUINE arette tobacco.
