Boston, July 6.—It was announced that befare the Boston Nationals left for the west last night Captain John J. Evers sent a telegram to President John K. Tener of the league, apologiz- ing for remarks made after Evers had been sent to the bench for throwing | his bat in the air in yesterday's game. | | Evers had been called out on strikes, When Umpire Byron put him out of the game, Evers exchanged words with him and made a reference to al- by ‘“the wife of the president of the league.” Fresident Tener was watching the game and heard Evers’ remarks. In his telegram Evers said that he regretted the incident and ‘“was grievously at fault.” CREW WILD COME EA! University of Washington Eight for Poughkeepsic in 1917. Seattle, July 6.—Horace C. Henry, a wealthy retired railroad builder of Seattle, has informed President Henry Suzzalo of the University of Washing- ton, so it is announced, that he would guarantee the expenses of the unive sity’s eight-oared crew to Poughkec)- sie next year, thus assuring participa- tion in the next intercollegiate regatta on the Hudson. The expenses are es- timated at $4,000. Announcement also was made hy Graduate Manager Arthur Younger that Princeton had tentatively accept- ed an invitation to row inst Washington here next spring. Final acceptance was deferred by Princeton until next fall. | Hartford ..

Ducking the Cellar, Bridgeport, July 6.—In two well played games at Newfleld park yes- terday afternoon, the New Haven and | Bridgeport clubs, who are waging a hard fight to keep out ou the cellar, split fifty-fifty for the afternoon. The Murlins won the initial contest by a 3 to 2 count while the Hustlers cap- tured the night-cap number, 1 to 0. The most discouraging feature of the day’s play was the fact that Harry Donovan the New Haven pitcher, had to be the victim of the 1 to 0 defeat. First Game The score: w e.

CLARKIN SIGNS BURKETT Succeeds T, Former Lawrence Leader Spires—Reported for Duty Today— Other Eastern Notes of Interest. i Ballade of Bum Golfers. (Abstracting the refrain from Mr. Francois Villon.) Experts, who look upon my game ‘With curling lip and sneering eve ‘Who see four hundred things to blame And tell me as I vainly try: “Don’t lift your bally wrists high”"— 'Tilt in to give the ball a run”— “Don’t use a brassie from that lie”— I cry you mercy, every one. so Star entries in the golfing frame Who need no daily alibi, In dreams I hear you still exclaim, “Your grin, old son, is all away”— “My word! Look how he shifts his thigh! “Such knee work all shun”— “Now this is how Braid lets ’er fly”— I cry you mercy, every one. good golfers My style, I know, Is worse than lame; My wretched scores bring forth a sigh; My stance and grip and eke my aim I know would make a baby cry; But all T ask or specity, Is Peace benéath the pleasant sun; Apart from every “How” or “Why"'— 1 cry you mercy, every one. Call me a dub—a mutt—a guy— But was golf built for war—or fun A duffer let me live—and die— I cry you mercy, every one. There are more than one or two that refuse to take the New York Yankees and the Cleveland Indians seriously as pennant contenders. But these details should be held in mind: The Yanks and Indians have been up at the top despite the fact that both clubs have had the toughest luck in their league—the toughest luck in the game. In addition to Gilhooley, a broken leg, and Maisel, broken arm, the Yanks have suf- fered the loss of such men as Baker, Magee, Nunamaker, Peckinpaugh and Mogridge. If Donovan can win a out with out with a ! flag against this outbreak of misfor- tune he will be deserving of all the cheers there are. And the ball club | that leads him to the peak will be in for quite a scrimmage. The Three First Choices. At this point a year ago the White Sox were just beginning to slip. late they have just begun to start. So they are in a far better technical po- sition for 1916 than they were 1915, although a year ago today they were well in front. The first of the three First Choices —White Sox, Red Sox and Tigers—to start a wild upward rush was Detroit. The Tigers came from sixth place to a tie for the top in about a month. The race looked to be all over. with equal suddenness the Tigers blew apart as the White Sox forged | forward. Ten days ago we thought De- | troit was fairly sure to win. Now we confess to a jumble that is well be- yond our limited ken. SHIFT OF COLLEGE MEET? Princeton and Cornell After I. C. A Take Cayuga. New York, July 6.—Certain Moran and the Scrapheap. Frank Moran has already been con- signed to the scrapheap by a con- siderable crop of experts. But one bad battle doesn’t make a bum. Mo- ran made the big mistake of thinking that a “good big man’—in poor con- dition—could trim a “good little man” —in the well known pink of punching form. It was a mistake that cost him co- pious quantities of gore, but it hasn't yet eliminated Frank as a heavy- weight contender against the day of Willard's forced retirement through a surplus of weight. Moran still has his chance by keep- ing his own weight down and by working ahead, with his eye still on the goal. He will never get there by repeating his Dillon preparation. The Second Intersectional. We have with us today the second intersectional; meaning the second clash of bats by the West and the Bast. This trip West is to show whether Brooklyn and Boston are to fight things out for the National league pennant, or whether Giants and Phil- lies still have their chance. In the American league six clubs are still so well bunched that no cru- clal spot has appeared on the hori- zon. But it will be more than usually interesting to see just how the three Eastern contenders can ward off the advance of the four Westerners at a stage of the race when the stretch is only a few rods on beyond. If the Yankees can survive this as- sault they have the chance of voung and peppery careers to hold on grimly to the end. Mottoes That Chick Evans Likes. “If at first you don’t succeed, try, again.” ‘It's a long lane that has no turn- ing.” Some cheering news for Western American league clubs—Ray Caldwell is back in his prinstin form. | Some cheering news for Eastern American league pitchers—Joe Jack- son, Tris Speaker and Ty Cobb have transferred their field of operations ! and their bases.of supplies to the At- of ! in | \ i f il A.

Burkett succeeds ! George Spires who has been acting | manager after the release of Heinie | Wagner. Burkett reported for duty today and took charge in the game with the New Haven club. Burkett was selected it was ex- plained by James H. Clarkin, owner of the club, because of his 27 years experience in baseball, the latter ten as owner and manager and because Spires’ tenure was upcertain owing to the fact that he is under option from the Lowell club. Clarkin was subjected to much criticism yesterday because of his re- fusal to transfer the morning game of Fourth of July from Bridgeport to Hartford. Owner Harry Cornen of the Bridgeport club pleaded with Clarkin to sanction the transfer bk the latter would not give his consent. Cornen wanted the game to be played in Hartford because he was %ertain that the labor parade would cut into the receipts, The game drew but 200 people and Cornen lost about $500. He was forced to pay Hartford a guar- antee of $200, however. 'IRST PE ANT. Mich,, July 6. DAYTON WINS Grand Rapids, President m W.

New York FITZ AFTER N. Y. LICEN New Haven, July 6.—Dave T ald, regarded as one of the best ing referees in the east, yesterday s [ nified his intention to become a | 1ar licensed referee in New York state. For some time, it is known, friends of, Fitzgerald have been trying to per- | suade the New York boxing commis- sion to issue a license to the local man, but members of the commission thus far have not seen fit to grant request. Fitzgerald has officiated nearly every bout of note in this state for the past twelve or fifteen vears, but his fame has gone beyond the boundary lines of Connecticut CURRY ! Hartford Shortstop Taken TInto ¢ tody for Failure to Pay Judgment. Springfield, Mass., July 6.—Prior to vesterday's game between Hartford and Springfield, Shortstop Jimmy Curry of the Hartford club was ar- rested by a deputy sheriff for alleged failure to pay a judgment of $1,000 in favor of Wilfred H. Genest as a result of a spiking incident in Holyoke four years ago. Curry remained in custody of the deputy, who sat on the bench during the game. After the game he was taken to the office of counsel for Genest, where arrangements for a set tlement were made.
