Champ. Harry Forbes, one-time 'bantam. weight champion of the world, was born thirty-six years ago today, May 13, 1879, in Rackford, Ill. The ring career-of the little Illinois fighter cov- ered fifteen years. - He made his first appearance as a candidate for - the fayor of the boxing fans when he wu seventeen years old. In hjs sec- year in the ring he fought/a six- ro\md draw with Casper Leon, the great little Sicilian, and was knocked out by Terry McGovern. He gave the Brooklyn Terror a hard tussel for fifteen rounds ‘before McGovern land- ed his soporific punch. In 1899 Forbes again tried to wrest the ban- tamwelght honors from Terrible Terry, but on that occasion he “got his” in the second round. In 1900 MoGovern entered the featherweight class, and the bantam crown was left ownerless. There were & number of candidates for the va- cant throne, but in 1801 Forbes was awarded the honor, after having twice| Yankees had defeated Casper Leon. Late in 1900 ning the game.

Yale's flelding game | {was the raggedest of the season, al- Forbes fough a 20-round draw with the Ttalian in St. Joseph, but a little later he defeated him in Chicago, and early in 1901 Forbes won by a knock- out at Memphis. After this victory the new cham- pion met all comers. He whipped Abe Attell in fifteen rounds at St. Louis, ‘knocked out Danny Dougherty in the same city, and stopped Billy Rotchford in Chicago. He began the 1902 campaign by again whipping Dougherty and by defeating Tommy Feltz in St. Louis and Kid Goodmean in Chieago. These bguts were fol- Jjowed by a string of other victories, although Johhny Reagan and Abe At- tell held the Chicago boy to a draw. Late in 1902 Forbes made his first trip to the Pacific coast, and at Oak- land defeated Frankie Neil. After several battles in the east and middle west, Forbes went back to San Fran- cisco in the summer of 1903, and was again matched with Neil. This time the Native Son was victorious, 'and Forbes lost the championship.' Neil put overia knockout blow in‘the sec- ond round that ended Harry's career as the king of the bantamweights. Forbes continued in the ring for nearly ten years after losing the title. In 1904 he fought Abe Attell again in St. Douis and was knocked out by the little Hebrew. Frankie Neil then gave him a return match, and Farbes wds put away in the third chapter. | He lost to Attell again in 1905. Forbes temporarily, retired from the game in 1907, but after a rest of nearly three years he again put on the gloves, and showed much of his old time form by knocking out Joe Coster and defeat- ing several other ' good boys. In 1911 the old ex-champion made & good showing in a ten-round contest with Johnny Coulon, who was then bantamweight chief, but the following year he met Coulon again at Ken- | osha, Wis., and was knocked out in the second round. This practically ended Harrys' long career, although he fough a few second.raters after that. / Jimmy Archer’s Birthday. James Peter Archer, inventor of the squat throw and in the days of the Cube’ glory acclaimed by admiring multitudes as the greatest backstop in captivity, was born in Dublin, Ire- land, thirty-two years ago today. Ar- cher began playing ball with the Tor- onta City I e, and played his first ‘nohnwnsl ment in 1903 with Fargo, N, ‘In 1904 he was with Boone, Ta., &nd was ‘given a try-out by the Pirates, who loaned him to Foa28 CAPT., | MUST LEAVE FOR MACKMEN STILL FAIL T0 BAKERIZE BALL Three Hits is Total of Their Damage With the Bat.

Peck Turns on Old Friends, Cieveland, May 13.—That oft told tale of baseball in which the castoff player returns to strike the/ decisive blow against his former mates was re- peated here this afternoon in the sec- ond game of the series between the Yankees and Joe Birmingham’'s In- dians. Roger Peckinpaugh, a native of ‘Cleveland, still listed as a resident of the sixth city, and a one time mem- ber of Charley Somers’s ball club, landed the telling wallop in the sev- enth inning when the Yanks were two runs behind the Indians. Peck’s con- tribution was a triple to the left fleld fence which chased in two runs and put Peck in a position to romp home on a wild pitch. The final score was 4 to 2. For: the Indians, as well as 2,600 fans, the game produced plenty of fond hopes for six innings and later a spectacular triple play - after, the come through . with enough runs to decide the game.

Sweet, although he has already been defeated by Ventres, is confident that he wil] retreive his lost laurels this evening. He toek to wrestling several years ago as g, member of the Boy’s club of his home city and has thrown some of the best wrestlers in Massachusetts. Ventres will weigh in at 148 and Sweet will tip the scales at 152. Some ‘fast preliminary bouts are also scheduled. The second prelim- inary is of local interest as a go is scheduled in this round bétween Bur- dick of Berlin and Chauvey of Hart- ford. .

Hanna Would Probably Accept Fran- chise From the Federal League. Efforts are being made to induce the Federal league to put a team of the Colonial league in this city a® well as in Hartford, Springfield and New Haven, It is believed that William ‘W. Hanna will take hold of the reins if the big outlaw organization decides to locate a club here. New Britain fans would most likely patronize a good team that is placed here under the protecting wing of the Federal league, as they are heartily disgusted with some of the baseball played here in recent years by organized baseball's oteges. Hanna has a lease on Elec- tric field and would probably play there. if he secured a franchise. BASEBALI: CHALLENGE, The Peerless:A.

McCue, ‘90 Lasalle street, New Britaln, Conn. 619 | New Britain, New Haven and Hart- ford Kigh Schools in It. The proposed High school athletic ieague with competing teams from High schools has been definitely de- ! cided upon and will begin next Sep- tember with the football contests. This league will be modeled .on the plan of the Yale, Harvara and Prince- tcn series and each team will meet the other teams in three sports cover- ing the entire year. The football lezgue will be contested In the fall, tasketball in the winter and baseball in the spring. These High schools are the largest and most prominent ath- letically in the state and competition of the keenest sort can always be an- ticipated. Minor High Schools Dropped. One decided change from the old leagues is the dropping of the smaller High schools and the abolition of the pretest committee. The headmasters of the several schools will decide all protests regarding eligibility and the will be final. A’ definite amount of meney will be allowed for traveling expenses. Other Sports Anticipated. It is probable that hockey will be introduced into this league as both Hartford and New Haven play this game and there is a remote possibility of adopting track games as the two above schools each have a track team. One game will be played with each team in football next fall. Hartford will play in New Britain and New Britain will play in New . Haven. Hartford will oppose New - Haven at 7home and the schedule will be com- prlete. These games will come during the final three weeks of the season 50 that each team will have a chance to play a few preliminary games. A series of three games will be played in basketball. One game will be played in the city where the football New Haven, Hartford and New Britain | decisions on the fleld of the referee contest took place and the other two will be played in the other cities. New Britain will play Hartford next year in basketball twice in Hartford and once in New Britain. three games will ball. New Brnnln in Old League Also. New Britain High, however, will not leave the old basketball league. The games with Hartford will count in both leagues as Hartford has also de- termined to remain in the old league. This will do away with some of the unimportant preliminary games. be played in base- as the Yale league as Yale will offer a cup each year for the contestant with the highest percentage. Such a league will be welcomed in Nw Britain as the former combinations were de- cidedly unsteady and were character” ized by teams continually dropping out and new ones comjfg in. GIANTS START THAT DASH FOR PENNANT McGrew's Cchorts Begn Brand New Winning Sircak. New York, May 13.-—The Giants prevailed at the Polo Grounds yester- day by a score of 6 to 5. They beat the Reds ,and this, the latest of their periodical wins, was put across in glutinous going caused by an after- noon of steady rain. Games played on heavy fields and on damp days more often than not are flat and lustreless, but there was lots going on in yester- day's viscid environment. It was a fea- tureful ,contest, of frequent scoring, plenteous in hitting, close and unus- ually good fielding, which was still more so because the ball was sliay and hard to handle. Score: r.
