STACKPOLE-MOORE- RYON GOMPANY Quality Corner 115 Asylum Street AT TRUMBULL, HARTPORD. The | | KONETCHY Boston, April 26.—The Boston Braves, according to baseball experts here, are right in line for the Na- tional league pennant this season. In fact, they are being quoted here and in several other cities on the circuit as two to one favorites. According to many they are stronger than the Phillies and are sure to put it over on Pat Moran’s team. But will they? The Braves have two of the greatest jinxes in the history of baseball. They are Ed Konetchy and Sherwood Ma- gee. Sherwood has been a member of several machines = that appeared good enough to win the pennant, but the curse of the hoodoo caused his club to fall down in every instance. The Braves last season at the start of the pennant race appeared to be an 18-carat cinch to land the flag. In- stead, with Sherwood on the job everything went to pot. Now Magee has broken his wrist, and he will be out of the game for weeks. Before this, when Red Dooin was in charge of the Phillies and even prior to that, too, Magee was the star outfielder of an all-star team that year after year failed to come through although the material for victory was there. Kon- ey bears a jinx reputation, having taken part in the railroad wreck that cut the Cards out of a pennant sev- eral seasons ago. When he went to Pittsburgh for big money he was hearalded as the guy that would clinch the flag for the Pirates. He ruined ’'em. TLast year Reb Oakes’ club had a look in for the flag and led, up to the last week, when Koney’s hoodoo sat down to hand ride the sit- uation. The Pittshurghs finished third. Jinxes do not figure in odds, but there are those who will wager monev against any club that has Sherwood Magee working for it. SKVAGE WITH NEW HAVEN Former Fed Star Mdy Sign Up to Play Inficld for Dan Murphy— Players Turned Adrift. New " "Haven, April 26.—Jimmy Savage, who played third base for the Pittsburgh Federals, for the New Havens and for Villanova college, will probably be signed by Manager Danny Murphy for the New Haven nine. With the dropping of Ivers, the Canadian leaguer, Murphy has decided upon “Moose” Miller, the veteran New Havener, for first base and Johnny Nagle ‘will be signed for catcher, with Walter Kennefick for Springfield. Soper, who caught for New Haven lats year, will be signed for utility man. Lind, Lynch, Kaiser, Bond, Leonard, Brennan and Ivers were to- day released. The signing of Davy Hickman, for- merly of the Brooklyn Feds, has remedied the only weakness of the New Havens, the outfield. No more exhibition games are expected till the season opens on Friday, although a game with Yale here Thursday after- noon Is a bare possibility. -The EIi nfne will be home from its Easter trip tonight and some of its coaches would like a match Thursday as a primer for its bout here with the University of Pennsylvania Saturday. WELSH FRACTURES HAND. If Freddy Ever Sprains An Ankle His Fighting Days Will End. Milwaukee, Wis.,, April 26.—Freddie ‘Welsh, lightweight champion boxer, who was defeated by Fver Hammer of Chicago in a ten-round contest here Monday night, is suffering from a fractured right hand today. The champion claims he fractured his hand during the second round, and that the break is a repetition of a previous fracture. Freddy at- tributes his poor showing to the in- jury. He said yesterday that he con- sidered himself fortunate to be able to go through the full ten rounds. OTHERS AFTER JAKE. Merwin Jacobson,.: another New Britaln boy, who {siwith the Giants, and is slated for the Rochester Inter- nationals, might have trouble leaving the Tener circuit, because it is said George Stallings, the Braves' . pilot, and Jimmy Callahan leader of the’ Pirates, will not waive on his serv. ices. | Bostorn NATIONAL LEAGUE, Yesterday's Results, Boston 3, New York 2, Cincinnati 11, St. Louis 3.

We think not, but Geoerge Stallings said about the ninth errpr bndoubtedly was From Henry Leach. Henry Leach, one of the great golf us the | writers of the game, sends following from London: “Golf here has been by no means so quiet during the war as reported by those who suggest it is half dead. Of course, competitions are sus pended, but there is plenty of pla otherwise, and it is needed as an an- tidote to nerve strain. There will be a great boom in the game when peace comes, for itis recognized that it is the ideal game for the new con- ditions—a game to play and not to watch; a game for earnest people; a | game for meditative moods; and above all a game for freedom and the | open country.” As a Friendly Tip. “Also,”” postscripts Mr. Leach, think that amateur question is going to get you into a frightful tangle.” “Frightful tangle” is well put.
