The Spartans of Hartford will be the drawing card at the Pioneers’ di- amond next Sunday and the Hum- phries of New Haven on. the follow- ing Sunday. In the Spartans and Humphries, the Pioneers have select- ed two of the fastest clubs in the state and the fans should show their: ‘apreciation by turrung out in large numbers. GIRLS PLAY CAPTAIN BALL. Girls from the East street schog! defeated girls from the Rockwel school in a game of captain ball yes- terday afternoon. The &core was 5 to 8. The game wad played in the gym- nasium' at the Grammar school. poor form'displayed by Don Lippin- cott, the crack University of Pennsyl- vania sprinter, in the short dashes this spring is causing Penn's followers | a little worry. With the intercollegiate games at hand. Lippincott has yet to show a single 100 yard or 220 yard performance worthy of his real speed. The 1912 Olympic sensation has been ! beaten time and again by men that he ought to concede yards to, and this | | opened an old cut under Houck's eye is especially true in the furiong event, in which Don, when right, is very clese to unbeatablée. Now there is a theory to explain Lippincott's indif- ference running in the dashes that comes pretty near hitting the nail ‘on the head, and that is that the quarter mile work that he did early in the spring in preparation for the Penn | relays has taken the edge off his speed temporarily. There is also the fact that Lippincott, remembering the pulled muscle that put him out of the intercollegiate games last year, has probably not done enough work at his mark, fearing a repetition of the “pull” that ldaid him low a year ago. The ‘fact that Lippincott displayed sensational form in the quarter mile prior to the Penn relays and in the race in which the Quaker ' four lack of condition that has slowed n in the short sprints, but rather too much work and conditioning at a ,distance which is far above those shed the record for the one mile ’*& proves conclusively that it is at which he expects to run his' inter- collegiate races this week. Rumor Has Selected Wagner For a Managerial Berth Boston, May 27.—Heine Wagner, veteran ‘second baseman of the Red Sox, is slated for a managerial berth | in the Johmson circuit, according to a persistent rumor which is going the; rounds in baseball circles. Just what team Heine will lead is not definitely #tated, but the impression prevails that he will supplant his boss, Biil Carrigan, It is known that regard for Heinie and nhis apprecia- tion of the second sacker's playing ability are also well known, the two may have something to do with the rumor. Whatever the origin and re- gardless of itis reliability, it is certain | that Lannin, or in fact, any clubl cwner might do worse than secure the services of Heinie to direct the des- Owner, tinies of hig club, for Wagner is onel Lannin of the Red Sox is not entirely | of the few ball players who play the | sutisfled with the showing of his team game with their heads'as well as their | #ince it has been under the direction of Carrigan, and as Lannin’s personal 1 hands and are thoroughly famma.—l with its every angle. j | banging away for dear Philadelphia, May 27.—The rather FOR PUNISHMENT But St. Paul Phantem Wins Fast Boat on Poits. New York, May 27.—Mike Gibbons, the master boxer, met a tough cus- tomer at the St. Nicholas A. C. last night in Leo Houck of Lancaster, who outweighed him seven pounds. De- spite the fact that Mike nearly cut the Quaker to pieces the Lancaster man was tearing in at the finish and in the ninth round by sheer weight and ag- gressiveness landed several hard punches and had Gibbons doing his best to even up the round. In the sixth round Houck landed a low blow, but it did not hurt and was overlooked, = While the men were life in the tenth another low blow caugat Gib- bons and doubled him up. He recov ered in time to finish with a display of speed and accuracy that had his opponent dazzled. Gibbons Begins to Cut Up. There were more clean hits crowd- . ed into the first round than are gen- erally to be seen in a whole encounter and all were landed by Gibbons. In less than thirty seconds a light right and the crimson poured forth so that both men were covered with gore at the finish of the round. Gibbons used every kind of punch in this session and threw off Houck’s leads with the greatest ease. Houck tok plenty of punishment in the second, but Mike let up as soon as he found he had his opponent at his mercy. The fight nearly ended just before the bell, when Gibbons missed with a wicked left hook. The same clever work on the part of Gibbons with little actual results con- tinued in the third, but in the fourth Mike let up again and by sending in a few body punches and driving Mike to the ropes the Lancaster man was n- titled to an even break, the best he got all the way through except per- haps in the ninth round, when he sur- prised both Gibbons and the crowd by carrying the fight to his man. From the fourth to the ninth round there was the usual display of speed and sclence by Gibbons, who used every means of avolding punches and with entire success. TODAY IN PUGILISTIC ANNALS. 1844—Jack Carter, famous English pugilist, died in Manchester, Eng., in his fifty-sixth year. Carter was de- feated early in his career, by Tom Molineaux, the American negro, but later he defeated Stevenson and Rob- inson, twe prominent black fighters, and then astonished the sporting world by his victory at Gretna Green over Tam Oliver, who had never been defeated. In 1819 Carter claimed the Engligh title, Cribb being too old to defend the championship, but was defeated by Cribb's protege, Tom Spring, In 1828 he fought Jem Ward for, the title, but lost, and in 1832, when Carter was 43 years old, he tackled “Deaf” Burke. Carter broke hig arm in the 1ith round and had to quit.” This was the last battle of Jack Carter, who, although he was never generally recognized as a cham- pion, is numbered among the greatest of the gladiators of the British ring. He was game, clever and a hard-hit. ter, and even when past the age of 40 was able to make a gopd show- ing. & 1891-—Alec Greggains defeated Charley Turner in 4 rounds at San Francisco. 1896—Tommy Ryan and Billy Smith fought 18-round draw (police) at Coney Island. THREE-H LEAGUE TROUBLES. The opening of the Three-H league in this city will not take place on Saturday, as was previously an- nounced. At a meeting of the mag- nates last night in Hartford, Manager James Hoar of the New Britain ag- gregation stated that he would be un- able to secure suitable noundl for the scheduled opening. YALE WITHDRAWS HANES. New Haven, May 27.—Capt Louis Middlebrook of the Yale baseball team announced to the squad that Johnny Hanes, Yale's right fielder and star batsman will not play baseeball with Yale in the future. Yale has with- drawn Hanes rather than have any unpleasantness develop and thus con- cedes his ineligibility. He will be replaced by Rhett, who took Easton's place at left field in the Cornell game Saturday. | ning. THROW BY COLLINS HALTS. YANK SPUR Littg Frtz Maisel Nipped a Piatey by Right Fieider's Arm.
