New York, March the Jersey City, at the National Sporting club tonight. Attel took the Tisk of making 118 pounds at ringside, which hs did for the first time since he be- champion in his class. | Although Burns was the aggresso: the champion, whose ring genepflnhip was superior, outpointed him. Attel's lefl arm was rendered almost useless lefts which Burns delivered on his e and shoulders in the fourth and sixth rounds. It was an injury to this arm which had kept Attel from the ring for sevéial weeks, and after Burns’ blows” he fought almost all of the remaining rounds with his right. In the ninth round he sent Burns to the floor with a right swing for the count of nine, and with exactly the same blow he turned the trick again in the final yound. - Attel easily had the better of the first three rounds, during which Burns-ap- peared frightened. But thereafter the Jersey City bantam became the ag- firessor, took the honors in ‘the fourth and broke even in the fifth and sixth.

Detroit and New York Have Only Twirlers Using This Delivery Much. .1t is a well known fact that only two pitchers in the American league, Wil- lett of Detroit and Warhop of the New York club, use an underhand deliv- eIy to any extent. Batters will tell You that there is something about the underhand ball, with its gradual rise, that makes it hard to hit. Even at that, Willett and Warhop do not use the ‘motion as much as one would think, and few other pitchers have tried to perfect it Willett and War- 0p are regarded as successful twirl- ers, vet both men have a reputation of being more or less erratic. The fact that Willett has always been prone to have a bad inning was the cause of Jennings not using hm in any of the world’s series in which the Tigers took part. Warhop, despite his effective- ness, is usually wild, and often gets himself in bad holes through hitting the batsman or inability to get the ball over. In all probability difficulty in acquiring control is the very best reason that can be advanced for the feilure of more twirlers to use a de- livery that is admitted by the best of batsmen to be hard of solution.

Both Oxford and (‘ambndge have track teams of exceptional excellence this year, as evidenced by the cap- ital werk done recently in the intercol- legiate sports, and they made a favor- able reply when sounded a short while ago as to what their =ititude would be toward a Harvard-Yale challenge for an international 'varsity event. In 1899 at the Queens cjub grounds, West Kensington, London, Oxford and Cambridge won by five events to faur.

However, it is more tham likely that in the course of the mine combats ‘Bender, Coombs, Morgan and Plank will all work for a brief period. The roster of the Mackmen on the affrays with their rivals from the other local plaza will probably be the same as that with which they will open the regular and conspicuous occasion known as the begining of the league season. The only change is the possibility that Blunderbuss Bill Hegan, Who is due to tenant left feld, may be replac- ed by either Briscoe Lord or Amas Flash Strunk. Hogan Will Piay. However, for . these interleague scrambles both B. B. H. and B. Lord will have a fling at left fielding:' Both are right-hand bitters, both throw in/| superb shape, and both are fielders of ability. ‘The other tenants of the outer patch will be R. N. Oldring and Daniel Do- emup Murphy. Both of these vets are in shipshape condition. Reuben espe- cially-is due for a big season uniess he explodes, which is as like}y as picking cinders out of Mars. Murphy in Splendid Condition. ~ Dan Murphy is in splendid condi- tion, and says that he could ship along in a regular conflict just at the present writing. The infleld, of course, will be the same old stone-wallers that ex- tracted all the hit out of the rollers, bounders, grassers and lifters that the Cubs dirested infleldward in the late unpleasantness between the major as- soclations. Collins He: 3 Collins has taken on a wee mite em- bonpeint, but & has added to his speed and fleetness rather than detracted from this splendid midsackers ability. Barry is the Johnny-on-th-spot chap of yesteryear. He is as clever an arti- san, as capable a thrower and as great a g-round coverer as in the previous seasons, ant in addition (whisper) has learned the art of hitting to other sec- tions that that of the left garden. ‘This meahs considerable heftiness to be added to Jacl’s swat column during the coming season. Baker has h!oken the heart of every bushrange twirler during the tank- towning campaign just closed by his unmerciful mauling of pet slants. Frank is one of the hardest hitters in either league, and has a tremendous flaying power in his arms. He does not swing his body in an awksward hitting motion, but puts all the strength of his Maryland shoulders lmo flogging the bulb. The Trappe p.uent should make them all sit up and take notice when he starts anything the coming season. He should be up among the topnotch- ers and make Tyrus Raymend and some of his confreres look to their lau- rels in automobile avenue. .

CALIFORNIA LIGHTWEIGHT BOUND FOR THE TOP Frankie Burns Has Shown Strong in His Three Battles. The future looms as brightly for Frankie Burbs, the young California fighter, as it does for any of the new crop of lightweights, Burns' profes- sional centests number only three but each of them was a creditable per- formange. Strange to s his first was his most important engagement. That was his second bout with Owen Moran. Tt was one of those bouts in which the referee simply acts as a deaf mute bat -by striking an average of the “popular” decisions rendered, it was agreed that the affair deserved to be known as a draw, and as such it has been referred to ever since, Burns' peeuliar crouch—or, rather, his “crouch and cover’—as it has come to be called, no doubt helped him to weather the storm in the Moran affair. ‘Moran, .as all the. sporting world knows, is the personification of coolness and confidence. What he doesn’t know about locating openings is not worth knowing. Afraid of Hurting Hands. Moran was baffled by the v the, California Cub__barricaded _himself.

Mr. Ladd ‘was born in Franklin, Conn., June 1 1833, the last of a family of six chil- dren of Israel S, and Lucinda Ladd. ‘When a boy he worked on a farm dur- ing the summer and went to the dis= trict schools during the winter. At the age of eleven he entered the em- ploy of the- Beaver Brook Mill com- pany, where he worked fourteen hours per day at a salary of $11 per month. At the age of 14 he left the mill and was given entire charge of the 150- acre farm and sawmill of Henry Lord, near the village of Bailtic, where he remained until he was 18, when he went back to mill life in the employ of Miller & Titus. After working there six months he was given charge of the carding, spinning, picking and weav- ing rooms and took orders from mo one but the proprietors and for five years gaye efficient service. About this time he was induced to Yeturn to the Beaver Brook mill and was given full charge of the help in the mill where he first began work when a boy. From here he retired for a well earned rest; his retirement at this time was a great loss to the man- ufacturers. * Mr. Ladd was twice married. His first wifé wag Miss Susan Barber, who died December-31, 1863. On May 6, 1871, he married Miss Nancy Aurelia Buckingham, One child was born to .this union, James Smith Ladd, who lived only three months. Mr. Ladd's second wife died April 6, 1905.
