Cadore received able assistance from Buck Wheat and George Cutshaw, whose free and timely walloping drove runs over the plate. ‘Although one victory does not es- tablish a pitcher in the major leagues, the corollary must stand that the same power applied with the same force and as well directed, will have identical results again. Cadore |pltched in such fashion as to enable him to rise superior ta the several errors committed by his well meaning but ever anxious teammates. Those same, mates, however, rallied to the support of the pitcher, and all ‘was merry. The score: r. h. e. Brooklyn ...... 100000200—8 4 3 Philadelphia ... 100000000—1 6 1 Batteries—Cadore and Meyeors: Oeschger, Mayer and Killifer and Adams. . Reds Win Another.

TRvInG A PoSE AT EaSE" AFTER A FEw DAYS GETS PRoOOFS of a Man Having Loot PLEASANT AnD SMILING | SPORTDOM SPARKLERS | Battling Kunz, lightweight cham- plon of the state, has made good his promise to defend his title against Chick Brown in New Haven. Jim Pierson, matchmaker of the Ryan A. C. last night displayed articles of agreement signed by Bill Perkins, manager of Kuns, which call for the champion to appear in the Elm City on the night of May 22. No attempt has been made to sign Brown, as yet, but Plerson expeets that the local lad ‘will agree to meet Kunz if the proper inducements are forthcoming. Sev- eral promoters, it is understood, have ‘been dickering for this bout but Pier- son managed to get first call on Kunz's services in what should prove to be one of the best scraps of the season. 0 333] The disgusting behavior of Eddie | Fitspatrick, coach and utility infielder jot the Boston Braves, was investigated by President Tener of the National League yesterday, and punishment was meted out to this offender to pub- lic decency. Tener was an easy judge. Despite the fact that oM timers say Fitzpatrick’s conduct last Saturday is the rawest thing ever pulled on a baseball dilamond in this city, Fitspatrick was let’' off with a five day suspension and a fine of $50. The Wesleyan University tennis team opened its season yesterday aft- ernoon on the North College courts with a victory over Brown by a score of 4 sets to 2. Both teams broke even in the doubles, Captain Jones and Keller of Wesleyan having little or no opposition from Ames and Eddy of Brown. Lindstrom and Langden gave Brady and Stockwell a hard run, but lost out in the final game. It developed yesterday that Wort- man of the Chicago Nationals and Roush of the Cincinnati team, both of whom were injured in Sunday's game, are seriously hurt and will be out for some time. Physiclans say Wortman’s ankle is broken and that Roush syffered a sprain of the ankle. C. J. Grifin who, with William M. Johnston, holds the national doubles tennis championship, appHed for examination yesterday for the officers’ reserve training corps. His home is in San Francisco. Les Darcy, the Australian pugilist, who has been unable to engage in any ring battles in this country be- cause he was charged with being a stacker, yesterday enlisted in the Re- serve Aviation Corps of the United States army at the Memphis training camp. Cambridge, Mass, April 23.—Har- vard will enter five men in the Penn- sylvania relay games Saturda: but they will run independently of the col- lege.. In this number will be Captain Eddie Teschner, the sprinter; Bill Meanix, the hurdler; Eddie Rowse and Harry Minot, theshalf-milers. Jeff Smith, middleweight of New York, knocked out Young Ahearn of Albany, N. Y., in the fifth round of their scheduled twenty round fight at New Orleans last night. Both claimed the American middleweight cham- pionship. Merwin Jacobeon, the local bo; is cavorting in the outer md:nwt.::: Nap Lajoie’s Toronto team in the International league, is displaying a brand of baseball that is sure to land him back in the majors, if he contin- ues. In yesterday's game with Rich- mond, Jake turned in three hits which included a two-base and home ‘run clouts, scored three runs and had three put outs There is a well founded rumor go- ing the rounds that Benny Leonard and Freddie Welsh, two of the great- est lightweights in the world, will be seon in action against each other in a 20-round bout in Bridgeport on In- dependence day, says the Bridgeport Telegram. If the match is made and permission is received from the city and state authorities to conduct the bcut, the men will meet at the old circus grounds under a tent. Seating srrangements could be made for ahout 20,000 people, and it is expect- ed that if the battle is staged this number would attend it. The only hitch in the deal is to secure the consent of the statc officlals. It is as- sured that the city authorities would rot interfere. There are many influen- tial business men of the city interest- ed in the bout. They will probably try to induce Governor Holcomb to opprove of the arrangements. Connie Mack has introduced several new pitchers this spring who appear i{to possess more than ordinary skill. {They are J. Johnson, E. Johnson. Noyes, Selbold and Farhham. J Jchnson hails from Girard college and is a big right hander, E. Johnson comes from the Fort Worth club in i the Texas league: Farnham was se- | cured from the Durham club of the {-North Carolina league. | drafted from the Portland ‘' Pacific Coast league club and Seibold made his mark with the Wheeling Central league club last year. Mack believes that these men will help Bush, Myers and Nabors in providing the Athletics with better pitching than last year. Already Princeton is looking for- ward to the 1917 football season, but it is not with unmixed confidence, for the ‘team will be lighter than usual and lacking in experience. Only five varsity men will be available and only one—Captain Wilson—has plaved more than one year.

(New York Tribunity system will receive its first real test next fall, and Princeton men have great confidence in him. George Chip, the Newcastle middle- weight, knocked out Val Sontag of Brooklyn in the second round of a scheduled ten round bout before the Moose club in Bridgeport 1st night. Sontag, substituting for Zulu Kid, who was unable to box because of an ab- scess in his right ear, proved no match for Chip, who hit him when and where he chose. Chip knocked his man down for a six-second count in the opening round and in the second landed a fussilade of blows to the body and face that finally put Sontag down and out for five minutes. The bout, which attracted the smallest crowd of the year, was disappointing all through. In the:semi-final bout Billy Richards of this city quit at the end of the fifth round to Battling Kunz, lightweight champion of the state. ' Richards consented to box Kunz at five hours’ notice, substitut- ing for Tony Marengo, who is il Kunz held the whip hand all the way while the bout lasted. Manager Mathewson, of the Cin- cinnati Nationals, announced yester- day that he had obtained the serv- ices of Jim Thorpe of the New York Nationals. The deal involved a straight sale, but the price was not announced. Tommy Shea, the New Haven box- ling instructor and one of the fastest and cleverest featherweights in New Eng.and, will celebrate his birthday wnniversary on Friday evening at the | Arena. Tommy will be 28 years old on that evening and his birthday party will consist of a 12-round decision bout Wwith Al Shubert of New Bedford, Mass., as the main at- traction before the Newhallville A. C. Tommy will also celebrate his eleventh year in the boxing game. . A meeting of the Eastern league directors will be held in Springfield Friday, April 27, for the purpose of adopting the new playing schedule or- dered drafted by the directors at a meeting on April 17, it was announced last night.

Henry Walters, ' chairman, said yesterday that he had the assuranco that eight of :the fifteen members would . vote for the bill.- The measure had been pigeonholed by the committee for weeks, while waiting. for action by the assembly. on the identical G. T. Davis bill. The lower. house having twice beaten the Davis bill, the senate will have to act on the Slater bill. It is almost cer- tain to pass the senaté, but, like the Davis bill, is due for a fight in the assembly. Governor Whitman will use all the pcwers of his office to force the anti- boxing legislation through both houses. He has conferred with Speak- er Sweet, and it is understood that he has not only served notice on him that he wants the Slater bill sent to him to be signed, but has expressed his displeasure in no uncertain terms over the fate of the Davis bill. While pressure from the executive- chamber and the speaker will un- doubtedly have its effect on many recalcitrant assemblymen, not a few of them have declared that if another anti-boxing measure is brought up in the house it will be beaten worse than ever. Governor Whitman expressed satis- faction today when informed that Les Darcy, the Australian fighter, had enlisted in the American Aviation corps at Memphis. “I am very gratified,” he said, “to learn that Darcy has enlisted, and I sincerely hopé that others of the pro- fession will follow his example, as I am quite sure that their service can be of the greatest value to their country in her time of need.” 92 93— 286 Wagner .
