New York, May 1.—While a rookie pitcher tenderly fondled the ball on the pitching mound in the 14th inning with ‘two down, “Rabbit” Maranville, Pirate shortstop, stole home with the run that gave Pittsburgh a 2 to 1 werdict over Chicago in one of the two major league exhibitions which did not feel the dampening ardor of yes- terday’'s April showers. Hilton Stock, who joined Charles H. Ebbets' payroll yesterday after an ex- tended sojourn in St. Louls was the outstanding hero of the encountr when his single in the 11th inning with two one gave Brooklyn a 6 to 4 victory over Boston. Not a turnstile clicked in the Amer- fean Jeague while two were kept in active in the National wheel. Maranville's daring bit of base run- ning was entirely responsible for the Pirate victory. The Pirates had previ- ously dictated & run to the scoring stenographer in the second inning only to have Chicago check a runner in at the scoring platter in the sixth and consequently knot the count. Then for seven innings the two nines battled, Morrison and -Jacobs twirling effec- tively, The fourteenth opened inauspicious- ly. Jacobs succecded in retiring Grimm and Wright but Maranville clocked the next one to right and Heathcote engaged in a bit of gymnas- tics while the ball rolled to the fence and Maranville continued to third. ‘Walter Schinidt was purposely ticket- od and Jacobs had a pair of strikes on Morrison when the “Rabbit" suddenly made a break for the plate. Schmidt idled from first on the play and this appeared to rattle Jacobs to such an extent that his throw to O'Farrell was late and Maranivile tallied. Stock's single which broken up the Brooklyn-Boston encounter was time- ly. With the count 4 all in the 11th, Johnston singled and Wheat doubled, Johnston being halted at third. Stock's hit scored both runners and proved the deciding blow when the Dodgers held Boston safe in the other half of the inning. Brooklyn Wins Boston, May 1.—Milton Stock join- ed the Brooklyn club and played third base yesterday. His single in the 1fth, after Johnston's single and Wheat's,double, scored the two runs which gave his team a 6 to 4 win over Boston. The score: BROOKLYN AB, R, I PO, A B 2 2 0 Nels, ef ...

Two men were out when Maranville hit to right field, Heathcote turned a somersault in at- tempting to catch the ball, and Mar. anville reached third as the ball roll- ed to the fence. Schmidt was pur- posely passed, and while Morrison was at bat, with two strikes on him, Maranville darted home with the de- eiding run.

May 1—A power- ful group of Harvard graduates is working with might and main to bring Percy Haughton back to Havard to take up the reins over the gridiron destinies once more. The effort strikes a responsive chord at the university for the opinion is that he is the one man to pull the Crimson out of the football rut. - At best, Haughton could not be pulied into the Harvard harness this year, as his contract at Columbia binds him to the New York institu- tion for one more season. He will bg free to make a change next year, however, if he so decides, and the Harvard men who are now trying to bring him back are confident that they will succeed. Haughton’s sympathies and affec- tions are with the Crimson, they say, and he admits that for these and| other reason he would prefer to help | his Alpa Mater rather than attain | success elsewhere. When he was called away, Haughton explained that his business interests in New York | compelled much of his time in that Next year, it is explained, these same interests will demand his time in Boston and the influential Harvard men who are working for his return are using this as one of their argu- ments for his return, It Harvard gets Haughton back, he will not be confined to football alone, but probably would take a hand in guiding the nine and other athletlo | teams.

These show, he peinted out, that of the 46 games played in the National league up to and Including yesterday, 22 were decided by one run margins The indication of improved pitching is further shown in the fact that eight of these games were decided by scorcs and by 2-1 marging, in ad dition to which four shutouts have been recorded. Further evidence of effectiveness in the box is claimed by Mr. Heydler in the home run records, which at the end of vesterday's play showed the National league's total of 41 to be nine less than at the same juncture of the 1023 eampaign, Due to the fact that the American league’s home run sluggers are ahead of their 1923 paec, however, the major league total of 77 was three more than on the same date a year ago. ‘ The better boxwork is generally at- tributed to the new ruling under which the injection of new balls into the game on slight pretets is curbed. results CAMPITELDS WANT GAMES, The Campfields of Hariford, a gpeedy nine averaging 17 to 19 years, would like to arrange games with teams in their class in and outside of New Britain.
