C. at New London—Soldier Light- weights Box to a Draw—Sherman Loses on a Foul. ¥or their boxing show in Lyceum theater at New London on Tuesday night the Greenwood A. C. had a fair sized house and good sport was pro- vided by the three bouts, one going to a draw, on2 was stopped for Sherman's foul blow on Sheehan, and the third was stopped in the seventh round to save Johnny Allen of Philadelphia, who was all but out. William Ryan refereed, KEdward Booth held the watch, and Fred West was the announcer. Ths card opened with a good st lightw It champlonship of the mili- district. They were Kid Palitz of Wright and Young Ferguson of Fort Ter It was a draw. Johnny Sheehan of Bridgepert and Young Sherman of Mystic were on for the ocight-round semi-final, Sherman substituting for Jimmy Dwyer of New York. Sherman swung low on Shee- han in the fourth round and the bout was stopped at that stage, giving Shee- han the decision on a foul. Sherman { had about ten pounds on Sheehan and idgeport boy for the times in the second star bout of the evening Young Bosse of _Bridgeport stopped Johnny Allen of Philadelphia in the seventh round of their scheduled ten- ound go, punishing the Quaker City lad so 'badly that the referee stopped the fight in the seventh, as Allen was ali_put out. Bosse had Allen going in the second, but in the third the Philadelphia boy came back strong and also showed in flashy form in the fourth and fifth. Allen’s finish came in the seventh as a result of several heavy left upper- cuts landed by Bosse and the fight was stopped. No decision was given, but Young Bosse had all the best of the dropped the count several round. In the | go. SOLDIERS KEEP CHAMPIONSHIP. Fifth Co.

Provided Great Mathewson Can Keep Up His Stride. Those estimable Giante ars booked for the National league flag, accord ing to the form cards of three-fourths of the critics. They have a team that is just right—it is meither too old nor too ‘young, and it lacks nothing in any of the departments of the'game. Orig- inally weak on first since Tenney was disabled, that gap has been repaired by the development of Merkle into a heavy hitter and a very fair class fleld- er. Shaky behind the bat since Bres- nahan went to another team, the in- defatigable McGraw has fixed up the weakness by shaping Injun eyers into a sturdy backstop whose hitting compensates materially for his faults of omission and commission. Uncer- tain in the pitching force, with no one to help out Mathewson, the little pep- jperpod has found the right sort of standbys in Drucke and Crandall. The falling away of Seymour has been made up by the development 6t Snod- grass and the purchase of Becker. From A to Z the New York team, as now constituted, is a splendid proof of | McGraw’s tenacity, determination and long suffering patience. The Giants will win this year, if they pull down the flag, less through will continue to be one of the batting gression of two other teams. Chicago and Pittsburg seem to be going bacik. You can never tell what astute man- agers like Chance and Clarke may do. One of them, or both, may fortify the old material with accessions of new blood that will prove the surprise of the season, and sweep all opposition off the map. Per contra, they may be unable to stem the tide and keep back the rush of the New Yorks. In Chi- cago and in Pittsburg they still look for flags. In most other places the Giants are looked upon as the likely winners, with either Philadelphia or Cincinnati as the dark horse of the year. There are chances, though, for even the wise McGraw and his powerful team to get it in the nack. Sooner or later the bell must ring for Math- ewson. Should the tolling of the gong be heard next summer, it will be good- by flag. While McGraw has some ca- pable pitchers to help Matty on the way, they are not yet fit to carry the team without his magic power, and the going back of Mathewson would mean a disastrous tumble. It is reported that Otie Crandall Jost the thumb of his right hand through an operation following an ac- cident. Neither denial nor confirm tion of this story has yet been ob- tained. If Crandall is out of it, Mc- Graw will be handicapped to quite 2 degree, for this young pitcher had been nursed along to a point where he was pretty nearly a marvel. He had | become & winning pitcher and a ereat tsman, a most unusual combination and on2 which cannot fail to win a tor of games. The disability of Crandall would hurt New York. and should Matty go back into the bargain therc would be no flag around the Polc grounds for many & moon to come. WALLACE AND CHASE ONLY PLAYING MOGULS Both Have Big Tasks Ahead of Them This Season. Twoe of balldom’s brightest .stars will make their debut this season as managers. Both will perform in the American league, and incidentally will be the only playing managers in the unior body. Rhoderick Wallace in St. oule and Harold Chase in Gay Goth- am are the debutantes this season. They are both tackling herculean tasks, too. Hal Chase will be the kid manager of the big leaguers. Hal took a whirl at the managerial pastime at the wind- up of last season, but he will really make his debut next April. Hal is just 27 years old and is saveral summers the junior of any other big league pilot. Roger Bresnahan, according to baseball’s blue book, is 31, while Char- ley Dooin is 33. Frank Chase is 34, and Fred Clarke, the only other play- ing manager, is up around the 38 mark Bobby Wallace is passing his 37th milestone, eccording to figures com- piled by baseball statisticians. erick, {wwnr. looks younger many of his younger brethren. Whether he will retain his youthfulness after he has been under tha management yoks for & season or so remains to he seen. But Bobby the Scot does not look @ day older than Bresnahan Dooin and & few others who are sev- era] years his junior. Chass has a brightsr outlook than ‘Wallace. He has a great array of tal- ent, while Rhoderick has pretty much FINANCGIAL AND COMMERCIAL. MARKET APATHETIC.

BILLY EVANS LIKES - - JACKSON’S HITTING. Cleveland Got Coming Batting Marvel from New Orleans. That Joe Jackson, who was sent by New Orleans to Cleveland last year, will contnue to be one of the batting marvels of the game is the opinion of no less an authority than Billy)Evans, baseball umpire and writer. Cobb and Lajoie will have to look after their laurels this season, according to Ev- | ans, since Jackson outhit both of thase stars after he went into the big league. Jackson did the remarkable thing of leading two leagues. He led | the Southern with .354, and then led the Northern ‘with .387, playing 136 games in the south and 20 in the north. His name is at the head of both! leagues in the new baseball guides, but this is nothing out of the ordi- nary, since he has led every league in hich he has played. Jackson’s only weakness, it has heen inted out by & New Orleans sporting iter, is that he Is a bit slow in starting from the plate and has a habit of sticking too close to first base. He is by no means a finished base runuer, but he has a lot of speed ind will learn umnder the care of a r00d instructor. EDDIE COLLINS FULL OF BASEBALL NOISES.

High Class Left Handers to Help Out Big Ed Walsh. Hugh Duffy of the Chicago White Sox figures that he is going to bz strong in the box during the coming season, and purposes to work his left handers often. “With Doc White, Ewing Young and that young man Baker from Spokane, who won 28 out of 38 games pitched last season,” said Duffy, “I think the White Sox will be there strong with high class left handers. “Then we have Lange and others, without touching the king of boxmen, for I think Ed Walsh has something on all the other pitchers of the present day. Walsh is a glutton for work, will- ing to go in and save a game any dav, and has a remarkable influence for 500d on a ball team. “Then, too, Walsh is a very easy man to handle and is always working for the team without @ thought of his own record. For execution and staying powers, Walsh is the king of pltchers.” DIGGER STANLEY’S HOME TOWN IS NORWICH. ENGLAND. Born There in 1882—Now in America Aflter Bantamweight Champibnshio. d is that sort of hampionship ? Digger Stanley, English bantam welght chamnpion, comes to this coun- try in quest of the bantamweight championship of the world. Stanley was born in Norwich, Eng- land, on February 28, 1882, and is therefore not quite 28 vears oid. His first battle, as a profe: nal, was a 2 round vistory in 1901 over Owen Mora who so recently beat Battling Nelson. The next vear Digger fought eleven times and won ten of his bouts. The one he lost was a ten round contest with Pedlar Paliner, who at that time held the English bantamweight title. Stanley fousit ¢ times in 1903, los- ing again toPalmer in twelve rounds; losing to and winning from Geords Dixon in two six round battles, and agzain defeating Moran in 15 rounds. In 1904 e fought two 15 round draws with Jimmy Walsh of Boston and knocked | second raters. The season of 1905 was a poor one for Stanley. He lost the decision to Moran in a 20 round bout before the ational Sporting club of London; lost | the whip is strong as a six round bout with George Moore, and then came to America only to lose the decision to Jimmy Walsh in a 15 round unpieasantness at Chelsea, Mass, gger lost to Al Delmont in 17 rounds in 1907...That same year he was defeated by Bob Kendrick in nine rounds. - He has not lost a fight since that time. He won from Sammy Kellar in 1908 .and fought & 15 round draw with Walsh in 1909. Last year he drew with Young Plerce in 20 rounds,knock- ed out Joe Bowker, former champion, in elght rounds and dfeated Johnny Coulon in 20 rounds. ‘ JUGGLING FIGURES MAKES BASEBALL DOPE. oI S Jack Knight Discourses on the Great American Sport. “Baseball dope has furnished fans and sporting writers with material l(;'l:' all sorts of arguments and the- ories ever since the old game dis- carded its swaddling clothes and took its position as the greatest of all American sports,” says Jack Knight. ‘Averages and past performances make good reading during the idle winter months. Their chief use is to fill out the ranks of the so-called best batting team, best flelding team, etc. But their only real value up- sets that old saw about figures never Iying. = Baseball figures are the best little liars on earth and eny manager who built his team simply from ave: ages would be yelping for help be- fore the season was a month old. The reason the dope doesn’t pan out is because you have to consider the luck of the game—and luck is one mighty big factor in baseball. When Fortune Smiles. “When a manager confides to you that be is ‘going good or ‘things are ‘breaking fine' you can put a little bet down_that Dame Fortune has given him her kindest smile. He wouldm't call it that, but would simply declare he had ‘Pit his stride’ And that same old Dame Fortune plays one of the important parts in the averages and the winning of pennants. She is the ‘Dear Old Lady’ whom would- be .300 hitters are looking for, and without her a successful season is & forlorn hope. “There is an element of Iluck in every play on the ball fleld, but it fizures to a greater extent in batting conservative bonds net the investor from 4 to 5%%.

Abllity he must have—the minor leagues are full of men who have been tried out and found want- ing. No ‘busher’ ean make good on confidence or luck alome. e may get a trial, but if the ability is not there he goes to swell the chorus of that song written by Tom Hughes, the comedian of the Highlanders, “We'll Be Scattered in the Spring- time." “Many, perhaps, will argue that ability, and ability alone, is what makes the ball player—that if he has the goods luck will not cut much of a figure in his work. However, just sit back and go over any old game you can remember, and youwll find that at some stage of that game a lucky break turned the tide. Take, for instance, one of the games in the series between the Highlanders and Detroit at the close of the 1908 sea- son. 2 Cobb's Shoe String Catch. Detroit had lost two games of that series and needed that last game ba 1y to stall off the rush the Athletics were meking for the flag. Summers was a stumbling block for seven in- nings, and then the Kilties started to hit everything he pitched. Three on bases, one man out and two runs need- ed to tie, every rooter was on his feet and velling and imporing Engle to hit ‘er out. Big Hack hit the ball on the nose, it sailed on a low line right to certer and looked like the rafest kind of @ safe hit. The roar that followed was suddenly stopped by Cobb making a shoe string catch of the ball. How he ever came to be playing there was nothing but luck. He was out of po- sition and should have been playing decper, but just by good luck he robbed Engle of a hit and saved that game for Detroit.” To Try Thoney at Second. “Bullet” Jack Thoney, the Red Sox outfielder of a few seasons back, re- ports his arm is O. K. and he is ready to try out again with the aquad. His ! vear in the minors was a corker and ver—so he says. The Boston management does not need an outflelder and will try Thoney at second base in case holdout Larry Gardner continues as such. Paddy O'Connor, the Pittsburg catch- er, has returne@' o Windsor Locks af- ter a fishing trip in East Brookfield. IN THE AUTOMOBILE WORLD | Pathfinder Blazes New Route Across Continent—Races In February on Jacksonville Beach—Entry List Fill- ing for Indianapolis Speedway. I The pathfinder car, which left New York for San Francisco under date of November 22, under the direction of the American Automobile association, has suceesded in establishing a new transcontinental route between New York and San Francisco, over a sec- tion of the country hitherto largely un- explored by automobilists. $ The tourists reached the 'Golden Gate last Friday, after a tour of 4,500 miles, a large portion of which was over roads which, owing to the time of the year, were almost impassable, The conditions under which this tour has been made have created more | than usual interest The time of the ar, the conditions of the roads, the fact that hundred of miles were made over trackle: sand deserf, added to the fact that a bet of $5,000 bad been made that the total mileage would be covered at a cost not to exceed $3 per days for up- keep, has created throughout the country more than usual interest and the enthusiasm of the San Francisco automobilists was so great that it took the form of an ovation, such as has never before been tendered to any transcontinental tourists when the mud-stained car reached its destina- tion Friday. Barney Oldileld is to race in Mexi- co City over the Peralville tratk Feb- ryary_18 and 19, with his “Blitzen” car. William Pickens, manager for the speed king, comtracted to bring Oldfield and four racing cars. Old- fleld is in California, and has organ- ized a party to aecompany him, in. cluding Jim Jeffries and Frank Chan captain-manager of the CI tional - [eague -ball-4eam. will arrive early in February, and leave immediately after the races for Havana. An automebile racing meet will be held on the beach at Jacksonvili Fla., on Mareh 27 te 30, if the Amer ican Automobile association sanctions the races. An attempt will be made to hold national stock chassis champion- ships at five and ten miles. The tentative list of events calls for twenty-four races, the most important of which will be one for the world’s mile straightaway record of 27.33 sec., which will be, for the speed king crown and $1,000 in cash. Another purse of $1.000 will be given to the winner of a 200-mile race. Daytona has also asked for a sanction covering March | 27 to 30. It is believed, however, that this place will be the scene of the meet. The speed requirement of 75 miles per hour for the Inmdianapolis Speed- way races on Memorial day is caus- ing many car makers to think well be- fore they enter, as it is no easy mat- ter to send a car along at that pace and make it performe consistently. The belief has been advanced by many of the drivers who will compete in the long grind that an average of bet- | ter than 76 miles an hour will be made and some have said that the winning car will be forced to make fuily 80 miles on' the aversse for the seven hours’ drive. ‘The entry list for the internationa! sweepstalies race is certain to swell fast from this time on.
