TODAY IN BUGILISTIC ANNALS. 1823—Tom Spring defeated Blil Neat in eight rounds at Hinckley Downs, England. This was one of the most exciting battles for the cham- pionship in English ring history, On the night befort the fight the taverns in the vicinity were filled with ‘per- sons of the highest quality in the kingdom,” but in spite of' thig aris- tocratic patronage the local magis- trates tried to prevent the ' meeting. The men were well matched, Spring standing half an inch under six feet, Neat half an inch over, and both were trained to the minute. They shook hands and conversed amiably befort the fight. Neat was a famous slugger, while Spring was noted for his science, vet in the interchange of blows Spring soon proved that he had a punch, while Neat's wild blows sels. dom landed. iBll was game, however, and he might have lasted a long time, except that he broke his arm in falling and had- to give in. 1898—Kid McCoy defeated Gus Ruhlin in twenty rounds at Syracuse, '1901—Austin Rice and Hugh Mc- Padden fought fifteen-round draw at New Britain, Conn. 'Dillon and Fish; Brown | Boston, May 20.—Some two years &#go the golfing world was startled by the performance of a youth just past his teens, Francis Ouimet by name, who captured the national open cham- pionship from a field which included the best golfers of this country and Kngland. Ouimet has since proved heyond doubt that his 1913 form was not a flash in the pan, ana. iast year he added to his laurels by capturing the national amateur title. Ouimet now is acknowledged the best links- man on this side of the pund, and he LEGORE'S HOMERGOOD, | Owimet Will Try to Take Measure of Vardon and Ray, is picked as favorite for the national open championship tournament, which will be played at the Baltursol Golf club, Baltusrol, N. J., June 15-18. * In this tournament he will have opposed to him practically the same field which took part in 1913, and it will not be surprising if the contest re- solves itself into a battte for su- premacy between Harry Vardon and Fdward Ray, the two English stars, and Francis Ouimet, as was the case in 1913. Two years ago these three played off for the title after having tied in the tournament. Spar;fography “GRAVY." “TED' . CATHER, BRAVE OUT- FIELDER AND REFORMED PITCHER, 26 TODAY. Theodore Cather, the Boston Braves' substitute outfielder, who assisted in the obsequies at the funeral of the Athletics last fall, will be twenty-six years old today. ‘‘Ted” was born May 20, 1889, and claims Chester, Pa., as his native city. He is a reformed pitcher, and for years entertained the ambition to shine on the slab. It was about five years ago that Cather made his first appearance on a professional diamond, playing with Lancaster, Pa., in the Tri-State league. In 1911 he had a chance to make good in faster company, ‘having been sold to Toronto. His showing with the Canadian club was not especially brilliant, and in 1912 he was. dropped from the Inter- national league and found himself with Scranton, Pa., in the New York State circuit, Cather pitched through the 1912 season with Scranton, and at the close of the yvear he was sold to the St. Louis Cardinals, As a slabman Cather was a classy slugger, and . Manager Huggins, after due deliberation, reached the conclusion that Ted was too good a hitter to waste as a mere twirler, Or something like that. So Ted was sent to the outfield, where he figured in sixty-seven games for the Cards in 1913, His batting ' average wag only .213, but his work with the stick was much better than the figures indicate. He was especially good when pitted against left-handed pitchers. Cather remained with the Cardinals until last July. Then a dedl was framed up whereby Cather and ‘Whitted went to Boston in a swap for Pitcher Perdue. Stallings took due notei of the berserk rage which afflicted his new outflelder when a southpaw was in the box for the op- posing club, and Ted was used only against left-handed flingers. This in- terchangeable outfield of Stallings was commented on in awesome tones by many fans, who ‘considered it an il- {lustration of the gigantic intellect of { the Miracle Man, oblivious to the fact that the system has been in regular operation with a majority of ball clubs for the last. twelve. or -twenty-four years, l 1 Ted had a close call from. going back to the minors back in 1913, Ac- cidents are not usually considered lucky, but this one of Cather's was certainly all of that. The St. Louls manager had decided that Teddy wasn't ripe for the major leagues, and arranged a deal whereby Ted was to be shipped off to Indianapolis. - Just about that time he was disable play- ing in the Cardinal outfield. Natural- Iy the Hoosiers didn't want him after that. He was kept on the Card pay- roll until the end of the season, and in 1914 the Fed raids left the Car- dinals short on outflelders, so they kept Ted until they had a chance to trade him, So it came about, by means of this happy accident, that Cather landed with ‘the Bostonians just in time to figure in the world’s series and the subsequent distribution of kale. Cather was used in the sec- ond game of the series, when Plank was in the box for the Mackmen, and acquitted himself creditably in the outfield, althaugh_he found the cross fite of the veteran Plank more than he could solve, The first National league champion- ship game between the New York Giants and the Pittsburgh Pirates was played twenty-eight years ago today, May 20, 1887. The Giants Wwere vic- torious, by a score of 10 to 9. Pitts- burgh played its first season in the National league in 1887, while the Giants were. elected to membership four years earlier, New York had a club, the Mutuals, in the National league in 1876, but they were expelled at the close of the season, and the metropolis was not again represented in the pioneer major circuit until 1883, BOWLING.
