Jeff Pfeffer and eight other Dodgers made it a 'stroke of strategy by shutting out the Reds, 4 to 0. Pfeffer, who seems to have come back into ‘his own, was 6 very good that hls shutout never was threatened seriously. No_Cincinnati base runner got past the half ‘way mark, 'and mighty few of them even that far: Pfeffer was found 'for seven hits. These fell ‘one each In the first seven innings.

New Haven, May 19.—James H. O'Rourke, consolidated officeholder of the Eastern baseball assotiation now sleeping, is making, merry at the ex- pense of George M. Cameron, the own- er of the New Haven nine for the past | eight years, and is on the verge of having his bluff called. Mr. Cameron has recelved a letter from the leaguec president stating he (O’'Rourke) had received the money due Cameron from the St. Louis National club for the sale of Pitcher Booth Hopper nearly two years ago and that he did mot propose to hand it over to Cameron without the sanction amd permission of the *‘directors’ of the Eastern as- sociation. He claims the New Haven club is indebted to the Eastern association for its share of the league’s debts. He refused to state what the exact améunt owed by New Haven was, Cameron did not see O'Rourke's Joke and has answered him, demand- ing the check and tnreatening to bring a lawsuit if it is not sert here immediately. Hopper Lives Up to Nm:te. Hopper was sold by New Haven to the St. Louis Nationals on August 17, 1913, for $1,500, $500 being paid in cash. He was tried by St. Louis, . which decided it could not use him, and a deal was made with the St. Paul club of the Amerfcan associa- tion, Manager M. J. Kelly of St, Paul agreeing to take Hopper for $759. The St. Louis club has been taking up the account. The St. Paul club agreed to pay the sum January 5 ,1915. The deal was consummated October 21, 1914. Hopper started the present season with Washington, through some kind of a deal with St. Louis. A short time ago he was sent to the Minneapolis club ‘of the American association. & ‘Miller ‘Huggins, St. Louls manager, Tecently ,wrote Cameron stating the matter had been oyerlooked but that ‘one of the club secretarles had found: the sum was due him and that Huggins, 4 'undrstood the home office had' sent him a check for the amount. It Is upposed that the St. Louls club sent. Ih. money to Secretary Farrel of the national association, who sent it to O’Rourke. The note O'Rourke sent to Clmxron ‘was as follows: From Jim to George. £ % Bridgport, May 17, 1914. Mr, George M. Cameron, New: Haven, Conn.:— Dear sir: I am holding a check to the New Haven club of $750 for sale of Hopper from the St. Louis National league club, subject to the directors of the Eastern assoclation. Yo rs JAMES H. O'ROUR: 3 From Georg to Jim. Mr. Cameron’s response, which was mailed ~about two' hours after O'Rourke’s note reached here, was:— ‘West Haven, Ct., May 17, 1914, James H. O'Rourke, Bridge- port, Ct.i— . Dear sir: Yours received stating that you are holding $760 for sale of ‘Pitcher Hopper, gubject to the orders of the' directors of the Eastarn asso- clation. 1 demand that you at once mail me check for same or I will immediately institute legal proceedings against yourself.

By a majority vote, the commissioners decided that the men did not do their best and suspended them from exhibiting in New York state for one month from the date of the fight. As a solace for this exclusion, the commission voted | that the men should receive the mon- ey they had contracted for amounting to about $1,500. The chief evidence against the box- ers was provided by the sport writers who reported the fight, half a dozen testifying to.thé peaceable charactet { of the encounter. In rebuttal, the fghters brought Roger Bresnahan of the Cubs, Scotty Monteith, Billy New- man and D. J. Burke to testify that they were well satisfied with the bout, One reason for the indifferent show- ing by.Clabby was provided by th2 terms of agreement. Chip was wise enough to take a guarantee of $1,000, while Clabby agreed to go into the ring on a percentage basis that netted | him about $500. It was evident after the fourth round that Clabby was do- ing his work with the idea of putting his boxing on a par with the payment, Ritchie and Baldwin Draw. Boston, May 19.—Willie Ritchie, former lightweight champion, made his first appearance before a Boston audience, at the Atlas A. A. last night and he did not convince the fans that he lcould regain the title, because he was unable to defeat Matty Baldwin, the New England veteran. The mill went the full distance—twelve rounds —and was called a draw, no one pro- testing against the referee's opinion. The two boys were not in the best of gshape, and while they were very busy all the time they were in the ring, both were almost exhausted when the final bell soundd. Ritchie's long reach enabled him to pile up quite a lead in ‘the early rounds when he jabbed Baldwin con- stantly and tried to cross the right. Matty covered himself well, particu- larly his body, and he countered quite successfully. Beginning: with the eighth round Baldwin cut loose and began to slug, compelling his opponent to fight defensively all the time. There were no knockdowns and neither man ishowed signs of having been hit hard. s ARSI R THREE-H LEAGUE 10 OPEN HERE MAY 29 Windsor Locks Nine Will Be Inital Altraction of the Scason (Special to the Herald.)

When Big Ed was right there wisn’t twirler in the Amenican league that had any thing on him, In the Windy City they called him ‘‘the greatest pitcher in the history. of baseball,” which was partially Chicago enthusiasm, but was not €0 | far off at that.
