Bates took the lead three times, first 1 to 0, and then 2 to 1, and finally in the cighth in- ning got the run which settled the match, 3 to 2. Moore, in spite of the. cold, pitched a splendid game, Harvard making only one safe hit against him, a single in the seventh by Abbot, which was good for one of the tying runs. Harvard used three pitchers, Whitney, Willcox and Frye, a being scored against cach Frye was in the points when the game was won. Moore landed on the Crimson left hander for a two-base hit to start the eighth inning, and Kuller's sacrifice and a safe hit by McDonald did the rest. The Maine players made only five hits, but twice bunched them for runs, scoring the other point when Aprit mainly its \Vi]!?f was in the box on a man being¥ hit, a wild pitch and a poor to third base by the Harvard Harvard had the bases filled only one out in the second but was bowled out easily. with inning, Score: r. h. e. ..010000110—3 5 3 Harvard ..000100100—21 1 Batteries—Moore and Lord; Whit- ney, Willcox, Frye and Harte.

The little Teuton is an illustration of the often noted fact that “it pa to adverfise.” For several Wears pers manager kept “Knockout” constant. ly in the limelight, and the fans were hypnotized into the belief that the New York ast Sider” was the sure and certain coming lightweight champion. Brown made a fair showing in a few bouts, but as a would-be champion he was never anything but a joke. Jake Abel, Young McGowan and many other boys wha have never been heard of outside their own neighborhoods, have found the New Yorker an easy mark. Brown has often shown abil- ity to assimilate punishment, and once in a while has lived up to his sobriquet by landing the sturdy lefr which got him the title of “Knock- out,” but by and large he has shown no more class than many a prelim- inary lad whose fights are reported in jtwo lines in the local press. When he started fighting at the age of seventeen, it is id that Brown could do little more in the literary line than to write his name. 1t wasn't long, however, until the New York papers were publishing state- ments couched in the hest English with Brown’'s name attached. He was pictured as a dashing, slashing ring hero, and his love affairs got full-page spreads in the Sunday sup- plements. When Annie O’Brien, his sweetheart, said that he must give up the horrid fighting game or else ,abandon all thought of leading her ! to the altar, the “sob sisters” of the metropolitan press near broke our heartstrings with their pathetic varns. After that sad affair, “Dumb Dan" Morgan, with that abhorrence of i bublicity so marked in all fight man. | agers, broke into print with the statement that poor old busted-heart- ed “Knackout” was ready to receiv applications from other voung ladies, that they is when Brown best in rank Dutchman who is known to the fans | worse, | tent press agenting hy a clever | n Squall Breaks--Dick Rudolph and His Braves an League Champs Outlucked by Senators |Yankees® Hopes Rise With |\\E (RENS MRE Form Shown by Cadwell A s (3 " n #" ] ] ] BER KT LR KL New York, April 28.—Smiling Bill Donovan, the cheerful leader of the New York American league team— sometimes known as the Yanks—has a bona fide reason for his smile these fine spring mornings. The rejuven- ated Yankees are surely cutting some capers in the Johnson circuit, and they actually have designs on the bunting, a wonderful cendition of af- fairs, to be sure. The reason for th lofty ambitions of this erstwhile low- ly aggregation of ball tossers is the re- markable form shown by the pitchers to date. Fisher, McHale and War- hop were the big surprises. Even & this early stage of the campaign the have exhibited wonderful form 1 with the coming of warm weather must be able to cook pigs' knuckles and sauerkraut. By such distasteful notoriety “Knockout” became the hero of the | east side of New York, and thou- sands of fans always turned out to hoost him whenever he fought. Brown managed to get away with it until he made a trip to the Pa- cific coast in 1913. There the un- feeling fans had no regard for the tender romances of the youth from the east, and gave way to raucou laughter over Brown's performanccs. Joe Rivers was so utterly heartless as to knock ‘“Knockout” out at Ver- ron, and Bud Anderson gave him | another dose of the sleep potion a little later. Brown then returned lto the east, and was defeated by Matty Baldwin at Boston. Brown's printer’s ink reputation is now about played out, but it is al- leged that during the dayvs when the harvest was on he ' zarnered about $200,000 worth of the long green. Al. most every dollar of this he took right to his mother, as a dutiful son should. ure he did! We read it in the New York papers. [ Baseball in t a Nutshell NATIONAL LEAGUE.

Vivian Nickalls, coach of the Penn | crew, called Prof. O'Bolger to account | vigorously in a letter to the Pennsyl- | vanian, the university's dally paper.
