i ' Davis Anti Boxing NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, THURSDAY, APRIL 19, 1017. Bill Fails in Cari@eback Attempt---Coombs Checks Giants’ Winning Spurt---l’irates“ Still on Toboggan---Yanks Come From Rear and Defeat Senators---Fine Entry List For Penn Games Is Unsuccgsslul Albany, April 19.—Boxing is not to disturbed by the legislature this r and the boxing commission is to €ontinue doing business at the old stand. That was: made practically - dertain last night, when for the sec- L ond time the assembly failed to pass L the Davis bill, which sought the repeal _ of the Frawley law. iE ) The binl suftered (than it met, when it lacked only two the requisite seventy-six votes to it pass it ‘after a fight which Speaker Sweet 'waged and in which he threw his, per- sonal influence with force, but unsuc- cessfully, the bill received only 70 , to 60 cast against it. Several f democrats who voted for the bill ‘changed yesterday and with them ent the two socialist members, Phe'Slater bill; similar to the Davis JRill, still is in the senate. Speaker Sweet sald last night he did not be- ieve that bill would be passed by the senate and thrust upon the house for third vote, although he was pre- d to tackle it again if the senate pasred the Slater measure. This was . looked upon last night as extremely oubtful. The administration is tired of the fight and must put its efforts %o other and bigger things in the § short time before adjournment. McCuc Again in Ring. A good deal-of the credit for the i muccess of the fight against the Davis £bill must be accorded to Assemblyman "Martin McCue, democrat, of New ¢+ York, who is a former professional boxer. McCue battled as he had not # fought in his best bouts in fhe ring. j. He was all over the measure and then . he took the floor against it. -Assem- ‘blyman - John G. Malone of Albany, i whose amendment to the Frawley law created the three man paid commis- sion, fought against Speaker Sweet and succeeded in getting many repub- a worse defeat In the assembly last night, It Happens it the Best Reg;—lated Families . | WHAT.

Whitman. | Lively scenes attended fina] dispo- sition and burial of the Davis bill. At the outset Democratic Leader Callahan - protested against the bill's deing called up again so soon after it failed -of passage/Tuesday. Assembly- man Davis felt confident of putting it over vesterday and had assurances of the speaker that he would lend is aid to carry out the governor's wishes. Supporters of the bill "' keenly chagrined, however, when it £ began.to appear in the course of the ‘roll call that they. were still lacking a sufficient number of votes to pass it. A score or more of assemblymen of both parties crowded into the well of the . chamber demanding announce- ment of the vote. There were enough .republican assemblymen ‘‘somewhere 1n\ the capitol,” Speaker Sweet insist- ed; whio should be summoned to the assembly to vote. The sergeant-at-arms looked high and low for the missing, but in vain. Speaker Sweet left the rostrum and with pad in hand went personally through the assembly chamber check- ing up this and that assemblyman. He obtained several who changed thélr votes from the negative to the affirmative merely out of personal compliment to the speaker. 5 Hunt for Missing Members. There was a delay of an hour or more during which the attaches of the assembly scurried about to hunt up the missing members who had not been excused under a close call of the house and who the speaker insisted were within reach but under cover and dodging the bill. ” While the spegker was endeavoring to, get enough of the missing votes to pass the bill Assemblyman Law of ‘Westchester was acting speaker. As- semblyman Welch of Albany insisted wupon points of order until the speaker abruptly resumed the gavel. “As long as I am speaker of this assembly,” declared Speaker Sweet, “1 am. game enough to take gdefeat as avell as a victory, but I want you to wunderstand that there are members of the assembly in the wcapitol who are coming in here to vote. If they vote in the negative aill right; I'm a good loser, but they are going to votc just the same.” Speaker Sweet turned over the gavel’| 1 Law again and re- sumed his missionary work ou the fioor. In the final roundup there were but seventv votes on record for the hill. Three assemblymen who yoted “no” informed the speaker that they wero ready to vote for the bill if three more could be converted. The effort in this direction failed: Sweet a Good Loser. The republicans who voted against the bill were Baxter, DBell, Blakely, Bourke, Cheney, Danser, Dobson, El- lenbogen, Gardner, Gaylord, Kasson, . ‘Kenyon, Malone, Marsh, N. J. Miller, H. C. Mitchell, Novello, Perlman, Simpson, -A. Taylor, Welsh, Zimmer- man, and Shiplacoff and Whitehorn, socfalists. Assemblyman Merritt of Sullivan wras the only democrat who voted for the bill. 5 The absentees were Assemblyman {Aranow, Burr, Donnelly, Donohue, Goldberg, Lafrenz, Larney, Levy, Mc- Tonald, Schimmel and Parsons dern- oerais; aiyd Ahern, Crowley, Flamman, to Assemblym: were |' “I appreciate this,” said the speak- er, “and I am a good loser. The bill is dead. I refer the question to you, however, whether it i not more courageous for a member to come, here and vote than run away -and hide when the vote is being taken.” YANKS' ONGE MORE DEFEAT SENATORS Donovan’s Team Pull Game from Fire When It Looks Hopeless New' York, April 19.—After pre- senting the game to the Senators in the first inning yesterday, the Yank- ees came up from the rear on the double and finished in the lead by a score of 7 to 5. Four runs were passed over to Clark Griffith on a sil- ver platter in the very first inning A couple of hits and a couple of er- rors, one of the latter being due to an arch formed by the legs of Fritz Maisel very suggestive of the span of Hans Wagner. On post mortem examination, 1t perhaps is just as well that the Yank- ees did inadvertently spot the Sen- at®s four runs in that first. Other- wise, the pastime would hardly have been much more thrilling than a congressional debate on the wool schedule. The score: L8 ‘Washington . 400001000—5 4 1 New York' 02201101x—7 11 3 Batteries: Gallia, Ayers and Henry; Shocker and Nunamakér. e Same Old Story. Philadelphia, April 19.—Boston shut out Philadelphia, 2 to 0 yester- day. An error by Witt, follawed by Barry’s steal of second base on Hob- litzel’'s double, gave the visitors one run. Hooper scored the other, after getting a base on balls, on Barry's sacrifice and Lewis’ single. Leonard fanned ten batsmen. The score: r.

St. Louils, April 19.—Harris’ wild throw over first in the ninth scored E. Johnson with the run that gave St. Louis yesterday’s game with Cleve- land, 3 to 2. Klepfer pitched until the sixth, when Austin opened with a single, Sisler singled and Jacobson doubled, tieing the score. Marsons scored, and Klepfer was taken out for Smith, who prevented further scoring. Smith retired for a pinch hitter in the ninth, Lambreth replacing him. In this inning Severeld doubled, and ‘W. Miller, batting for Groom, singled to Harris, whose wild heave to first scored E. Johnson, running for Sew- creid. The score: r.

(Now York Tribunes. { SPORTDOM SPARKLERS | The National Commission yesterday refused the request of W. T. Gray, formerly of the Chicago American League club, to be declared a .free agent. Gray claimed that he was a free agent under the rule that pro- vides that a free agent who signs with a national agreement club and is re- leased by ‘it shall be declared a free agent if the club securing him does not assume the salary stipulated in his original contract. The enlistment of three of its mem- ‘bers and the occupation of several others with war-training work has practically wrecked 'the Rutgers track team, which will meet Stevens on Sat- wurday in opening its season. It has been decided to continue the schedule. Seven Rutgers students have joined the mosquito fleet of submarine chas- ers and have gone to Newport for training work there. y Unorganized athletics, substituted at Haryard college for intercollegiate contests because of the war, aroused little interest among the studenis. Fred W. Moore, graduate treasurer of the athletic association, said yester- day that so few had taken advantage of the opportunities afforded that it had become necessary to dismiss some of the paid men in the coaching de- partment. The baseball game scheduled be- tween Wesleyan and New York Uni- versity at Middletown yesterday was canceled because of the sudden death yesterday afternoon of Professor Her- bert W. Conn of Wesleyan. The Colonials of New Haven with a lineup including several former col- lege stars and Neal Ball of triple- Play fame, held the Army to a stand- ©off yesterday in an interesting game which ushered in the premature com- mencement week-of the cadets. The score was a tie at 4 to 4 when a time limit which had been set to allow the visitors to catch a train had .expired. The Yankees last night announced that two of the club’s young pitchers, ‘Sam Ross, left hander, and Bob Mc- Graw, the Colorado collegian, have been released under optional agree- ments to the Newark Internationals. Ross is being farmed out the second time. He pitched for Richmond last season and did fine work. The Rich- mond team was anxious to get him back. The Yankees now are only three players over the limit. The players who still are to be let go are Pitcher Jack Enright, formerly of Newark; Pitcher Aleck Ferguson, the former Jersey semi-pro pitcher, and Olsen, the young catcher from Pensa- cola, Fla. Yale lost the service of two of its best athletes yesterday when Harry LeGore, the baseball captain, and Meyer, captain of the ‘varsity crew, resigned their positions to join the colors. Mever has joined with Seth Low, captain of the Ell crew last Vear, in an aviation unit which is the first group of filers that is expected to be sent to France. LeGore has been a member of the Yale Field Corps, — iand he is expected to enlist as a vol- | unteer. The Cleveland baseball club has re- leased Pitcher Jesse L. Petty to. the New Orleans club under an optional |agreement. Petty was obtained from .San Antonio, Tex,, last fall. ' \ JAGH COOMS HALTS THE CLAN OF WYGRAW \ Robins “Grand 0ld Man” in Rare Form in Pinches Brooklyn, April 9.—Jack Coombs, ‘wnh the heart of a lion and a nerve of iran, hurled himself into the breach at'Ebbets Field yesterday and yanked the Superbas out of the slough |of despond. The Giants Jjolted the Colby Carbine for nine safeties, in- cluding two doubles, but in the pinches Jack stiffened and turned I back the McGrawites. Back of him the Dodgers flashed the first good baseball they have shown this season. They bunched a brace of bingles on ‘Sn"aa for a run in the first and Iknocked Slim out of the box in the | sixth, conquering the Giants by 4 to 3. ‘Without taking any credit from the Superbas it can be said that - the breaks vesterday went Brooklyn’s way just as they did New York's way on Monday. With Wheat ana Stengel on ahead in the sixth inning Olson’s easy roller was deflected by George Smith from Kilduff for ga single, Brooklyn scoring what proved to be the winning run, Ordinarily Olson's tap would have resulted in an easy out. Coombs pitched in grand form, holding the Giants down ta two earned rums. He went along in his easy way, cutting loose only when there were men on bases. With the bases full Jack made Giant hitters Pop up or line straight into the fielders hands. With the exceptipn of a throw by Fabrique that pulled Daubert off the bag in the seventh, giving McCarty a life, and a frenzied chuck by Olson that let a run home in the eighth, the Dadgers accorded the former Mackman stonewall sup- port. The score: T New York ...... 100000110—3 9 ¢ Brooklyn .... 10000300*—4 9 2 Batteries—Sallee, Smith, Middleton and McCarty; Coombs and Miller. Douglas Cops Another, Chicago, April 19—Chicago bunched hits behind some erratic flelding by St. Louis, and wan the final game of the series here yesterday by a score of 9 to 2. Douglas was hit hard, but pitched masterly ball in the pinches. Hornsby’s flelding and his home run drive, which cleared the right field fence, were features.

MANY ENTRIES RECEIVED Western Colleges to Send Exception- ally Strong Teams to Compete Penn Games—After Berry’s Laurels Philadelphia, May 19.—Entries for Penn's big relay carnival closed last night, and_ although the totals have not been given out, it is said that scores of colleges and. schools have been heard from, guaranteeing an in- teresting meet. In spite of the de- fection of a few Eastern colleges in- terest in the races’'seems to be intense, Many orders for tickets have already been received, and a large crowd seems assured for both days. ‘The fact that large Western colleges have entered in force is expected to keep the meet up to the high standard that it has maintained for many years. Pennsylvania State College sent in its entries today for next week's meet. Coach Martin has by far the best material that state has ever had, and he will have good teams in all the championship events. 'In addition State will be represented in practical- ly all the special events. It will be strong in both of the medley relay championships on Friday and for the one-mile championship on Saturday. Coach Martin also expects to get out a first class team for either the two or the four mile relay championship. In Shields, Shea, Foster, Whiting, and Hunter State has a very fine quintette of distance men. Much interest will center in the running of Shields, who is the brather of the Shields who will represent Pennsylvania in the fresh- man team. 3 The most interesting individual en- tries are those of Jones, Dumbly, and Wilson for the pentathlon. These men have been training since Christ- mas for this event, and Coach Martin feels that they will give Berry a hard tussle for the -all-around college championship., The pentathlon takes place on Friday, and it promises to be the feature event of the whole meet, as many fine all-around athletes are out for the title. The entry of Runyon in the pole vault and high jump is interesting. He is considered one of the best vaulters in the East, having done 12 feet 6 inches. Runyon is expected to give Sewall and Newstatter of Penn- sylvania, Fisher and Graham of Chicago, Pettison of Kanses, and the other expert vaulters a good batle. Many sharps in track and flield ath- letics predict that a new record will be made in the pole ~vault. New- statter has been going excellently in the event recently. He tled with Foss of ‘Cornell at 12 feet 10 inches two Vears ago, and with the same man at 12 feet. 6 inches. He hopes to win this year. m cinnati used four pitchers, Sanders| b Stars in Both Leagues ' Hurt Early in Season i = KER &= et SANER >~ : Chicago, April 19.—1It is now stated that Vic Saier, premier first baseman of the Cubs, may get into the game agan before the end of the season. Saier 'broke. his_leg sliding into the home plate.inj#he sixth inning of a game with St. Louis. It was then said that he would be out of the game for the remainder of the season. An- other star, who was placed on the hos- pital list for a time was “Home Run” Baker of the New York Americans. BASEBALL NUTSHELL NATIONAL LEAGUE: Yesterday’s Results, Brooklyn 4, New York 3.
