Twenty Round Battle Scheduled for June 20, Gunboat Smith, leader of the white opes, agreed to a match with Sam gford, the colored demon, to take place at the Olympia in London on the night of June 30. The heavy- ‘weights are scheduled to go 20-rounds. Joe Woodman, manager of Lang- ford, said that he had received the con- sent of Jim Buckley. Smith’s mentor, to the match. Woodman immediately cabled acceptance to Charles Cochrane, who has been angling for the meeting for several months. Smith recently defeated Langford in a 12 round bout in Boston and “Tham” readily accepted terms for another meeting, as he feels that he can make & better impression over this route. SNODGRASS SIGNED. Giants Suffer Less Than Other Teams in Federals’ Raid. John B. Foster, secretary of the Giants, has received a telegram from President H. N. Hempstead of the New York club announcing that he had signed Outflelder Fred Snodgrass for a term of three years, which compieted the piaying roster of the Glants, as Manager McGraw has cabled that he has obtained the signatures to con- tracts of the world tourist players be- longing to his club. The Giants have suffered less from the raids of Lhe Federal league than almost any club in the Nationai league. President Hempstead's irip to Mar- lin has proved successful. He headed off the Federals' efforts to land Math- ewson and Tesreau, and succeeded in arranging terms with Snodgrass. He will remaln at Marlin for a conple of days looking over his plavers.

Spring football practice has opened | at Princeton for 20 men reported to Captain Ballin and Heff Herring in the symnasium in answer to the first call of the year. The Squad was made up for the largest part of members of last fall's freshman squad and a few of the in- eligibles, but Baliin was the only let- | ter man on hand, although it is ex- pected that many more will report when outdoor work begins. Practices will be held three times a week from now until May 24. For- ward passing, under the direction of Mike Doland, occupled the whole pe- riod last night, and in outlining tne week for the spring season Captain Ballin stated that attention would be paid to forward passing, defense for- mation for kicks and the proper ways of recelving the ball. BOSTON’S COMBINATION | Compared With Evers-Tinker Combine —Maranville Speedy Man. Johnnie Evers has already been one- half of a world-famous second base- shortstop combination, the Evers-Tin- ker team. It Is not quite on the cards| that he will have his name linked with a second shortstop, and that the two | will stand equal with Tinker and Ey- | ers, Barry and Collins, and all the other famous force-out duos. Rabbit Maranville is the young man who will shortstop opposite to Evers’ second base. The Boston shortstop has been one of the stars of the National league. He is a \brilliant ground cov- erer, a sure flelder. In 1913 he made 43 errors in 835 chances, playing in 143 games. Fifth in the ranking of shortstops on aver- ages, only Mike Doolan of Philadel- phia’ accepted more chances than the Boston rabbit. Of Evers, little need be said of his { aiblity as a second baseman. Not the mechanical equal of Eddie Collins, he does not have to take off his hat to anyone in the matter of brains. He can be of immense value in helping Maranville. Evers was third in the number of chances accepted by second basemen, and that while in only 136 games. So with this pair on the job it will be & real safe hit that gets through. One odd feature of the Evers-Mar- anville combination is the small size of the players. The two weigh, together, less than some white hopes, running between 120 and 130 pounds apiece. CHASE COMES TO TERMS. Will Join Team in a Few Days— Johnson Ready for War. A speclal from the training camp of the Chicago Americans at Paso Robles said Hal Chase, the holdout first base- man, had finally come to terms and would join the team In a few days in Oakland. A cut from the salary Chase received as manager of the New York Americans, it {8 understood, was the cause of the difference. “If the Federal league wants war they can have it,” said President John- son as he boarded the train. He dis- cussed briefly President Gilmore's threat of war, conveyed in telegrams vesterday to him and to President Tener of the National league, and in the foregoing phrase showed the atti- tude of organized baseball towards the Federals. He said he would not an- swer the telegram. “Organized baseball does not fear any war. As for the Blanding case, on which Gilmore's complaint of injury is based,” Johnson said, “Presider Somers of the Cleveland ciub was con- fident he was within his rights in re- signing the pitcher. I have personal knowledge that Bianding never wanted to leave the Cleveland club.” President Johnson refused to discuss the reserve rule, but said the American league was ready at any time to make a court test of it.

SUBSCRIPTION FOR WADDELL. Philadelphia Fans Are Getting Purse for Rube—Sick With Tuberculosis. The plan to get up a public sub- scription for “Rube” Waddell, the, once great southpaw, has been nipped | in the bud. Waddeil is now in San| Antonio making a hard fight to over- come the ravages of tuberculosis. As soon as the fans of Philadelphia heard of the man who was once their idol | they began talking of getting up a'| purse for “Rube.” i Such a move would undoubtedly | have proven very popular but the | plan will not be permitted by Connie | Mack. | ‘Waddell's old boss has given orders | that Waddell should have the best of | medical attention and nursing and that no expense should be spared to | help the once mighty Rube regain his heaith or to ease his sufferings if | his battle is to be a losing one Messrs, Mack and President Benjamin Shibe | will share the expense. YANKS WORKOUT ONCE A DAY. Players Take Daily Walks—Daly in Charge of Pitchers. Frank Chance has decided to give his piayers, now at Houston, Tex, only one workout a day for the first week or so. For tho present it will take place in the morning. Baseball will be barred and the ath- letes will have to take out their en- thusiasm in running or walking. The pitchers who have had the advantage of bolling out at Hot Springs will be the only ones allowed to throw. Tom Daly has been put in charge of the pitchers, while Chance will devote his _attention to other players. The leader of the Yankees is sald to be much impressd with Walter Hutchin- son, a young left hander from Ohio. Sports Profitable at Harvard. Tho labors of the managers of the football, track, hockey, and baseball teams, and the rowing squads will count for half a course toward a col- lege degree at Harvard if the recom- mendation of Willlam F. Garcelon, recently graduate treasurer of ath- letics, is adopted. Mr. Garcelon's sug- gestion s set forth in his report for the college years of 1912-1913, made public last night. The total receipts from all athletic sports in that year was $155,553, ac- cording to the report, while the ex- penses were $124,980. The balance, about $30,000, was 35,000 in excess of i e S R e TWENTY YEARS ON \ THE CINDER PATH By JOHN D. NOLAN. The season of 1894 was the best I experienced, both frem an athletic and financial point of view. Beglnning with my $1,000 race with Hagalmnhl few Weeks after my return from Europe, up to the close of the season, I enjoyed an alnost continuous series of suc- cesses, and for the first time I was able to deposit a few hundred dollars in the bank, with which I soon after- wards bought a small farm near Taft- ville, which has proved to be a good investment. I did little running in 1895, up to July 4, when I went to Newark, N. J., to compete in the Caledonian games. Several thousand people witnessed these games. coming from all over eastern New Jersey, and this was tne cause of a rather comlical betting mix- up that day. There were 20 events on the programme, the principal one be- ing @ three mile race. When the mile race was called at 1.30 o'clock p. m. there were not & great number present and this I won rather easily in 4m. 50s. Atter this the attendance increased rapidly and when the three mile race was cailed at 4 o'clock p. m. several thousand people were present. There were nine entries In this race, among ‘whom were Dunkerly of Paterson, Du- frane of Elizabeth and Peter Goiden, the six-day runner of New York city. Jersey sports as a rule are good bet- ters, and that day many of them were in a speculative mood, and during the race I observed a good many bets be- ing made. Dunkerly and Golden alter- nated in the lead during the first two miles, when I went to the front and won by 50 yards in 16m. 45s. My vic- tory seemed to be a popular one, judg- ing from the applause I received, and 1 hastened to dress, as I wished to return at once to Elizabeth. I had nearly finished dressing when three men rushed into the room and one excitedly asked: “Will you be good enough to tell us your name, sir?” “Certainly!” I replied. “My name is John Nolan. “The devil it is!" exclaimed the inquirer. “Do you mean to tell me you are not McCoy of New Brunswick?” “Why, of course, he isn't!” chimed in another of the trio. “That is Jack Cunningham of Morris- town, or my name isn't Tom Brown.” “Well, you lads are all surely daft” d_the third, who was a Scotchman. If he isn't Jack Gieason of Orange, and if I can’t find a thousand people in this park to prove it Tll eat my ola By this time I had finished dressing, and seeing that this unexpected com- plication would lead to disagreabie ar- guments, without result I sald: “Gen- tiemen, you are all mistaken as to my identity.” All you need to do Is to con- sult the official who took the entries, and he will enlighten you at once.” The three men left the room and I at once cashed my checks and left for Elizabeth, while the judge informed them that my name was Nolan and declared all bets off. I had formerly run races in those cities under these names, when I first went to New Jer- sey as a ringer, which was the custom in those days, and all these people were betting on the same man. No one was fleeced, however, and _the Jersey people enjoyed the joke—whicn was published in the Newark papers— for some time. The following day Conrad Marks of Stapieton, Staten Island paid us & visit and asked us to furnish him with several hundred dollars for a 200 vard race with Jack Oliver of Perth Amboy, N. J. Marks informed us that it was'a sure thing, as Oliver wished to get even with a hotel keeper who had kept the lion's share of the win- nings in a recent race won by Oliver. We did not like the looks of things and declined to take part in the scheme, advising Marks to have noth- ing to do with Oliver. He said he | would drop the matter, but a few days later we read the following item in a Staten Island paper: “Connie Marks, the popular distance runner of Stapleon, was defeated yes- terday in a 200 yard race by Jack Oli- ver of Perth Amboy. Marks and his brother-in-law, Paul Volkmann, drew $700 from the bank and placed It on Marks. We understand that Connie got the double cross from Oliver, who won his confidence and then trimmed | him to the queen's taste. The result | of this race will probably convince ! Connie that it is safer to stick to! | lesitimate races than to attempt to make a fortune by the ‘easy route.”’” the net proceeds of the previous year. As usual, the greater portion of the profit was from football, amounting to $84,000 out of receipts of nearly $115,000. In the previous vear the net receipts were 379,000 from this sport. Baseball showed a balance on_ the right side of $7,000, as against $4,000 in the year before, while track ath- letics netted a loss of $7,000. The cost of rowing, which yields no cash re- turns, was$ $12,000. Hockey, after a Year as a majoor sport, returned a profit of $100. Kach of the minor sports showed a deficit. CHICAGO FEDERALS’ LINEUP. Announced by Manager Tinker—Nine Pitchers in List. Chicago, March 8.—The lineup of the Chicago Federals was announced to- day by Manager Tinker. It was the first of“the teams to be announced completely.

Bill Brennan was appointed chief of the Federals’ umpire staff by President Gilmore today. The umpires meet here tomorrow for a conference with the president, Saves Exploration Party. A motorcycle was recently the means of saving members of a semi-official British exploring party from great hardships and perhaps death. The party was traveling through Africa from the Cape to Cairo, gathering data concerning the interior of the conti- nent. Their equipment consisted of a blg automobile and a metorcycle. When in the depth of the continent the automobile broke down, leaving the party stranded many miles from aid. Though the motorcycle had kept pace all the way with the larger car, it was still in excellent condition, and journed back to civilization, returning With the necessary repairs and sup- plie: . Ranchman Uses Motorcycle. Ranch life without a motorcycle would be extremely dull, according to D. Spencer, who is employed on a ranch near Goldsmfth, Wyoming. The | ranch on which Spencer works is 47/ miles from Cheyenne and eleven miles from a postoffice. On his two-wheeler he can go to town for the mail in about one third of the time it former- Iy took with a horse. He is also en- abled to run into Cheyenne on Sat. urday evenings and spend Sunday with his people. Spencer also makes use of his motorcycle on the ranch, finding it very serviceable in rounding up the range horses An Up-to-Date Chinaman. Charlie Yen HI is a progressive Chinese gardner who lives outside of Los Angeles, Cal. By much hard labor he has been able to raise larger and better crops than his competitors. Then came the question of how to get his vegetables to market more quickly than his neighbors were able to do. This problem the up-to-date Chinaman solved by purchasing a motorcycle on the carrier of which he leads his fresh vegetables each morning and hustles them to town before his com- petitors are fairly started. Doubles Efficiency. Ned Cail, an electrician in the em- ploy of the Telephone and Telegraph Cdmpany of Stockton, Cal, finds that the use of a motorcycle has practically doubled his efficiency in his work. Cail attends to the general repair work in the whole county, averaging about 50 miles a day. He says that during the last year he has operated his motor- cycle at a cost, in addition to gas and ofl, averaging about fifteen cents a day. 20,000 Miles Awheel. Earl Howard of Lyndon, Ohio, be- lieves that he has given his motorcycla a test which proves beyond a doubt the sterling qualities of the two-wheel- er. Howard has ridden a motorcycle since 1909, and during that time he says he has been in the saddle practically every day, rain or shine. In all he has travelled about 20,000 miles—over all sorts of roads—and the machine is still in good rupning order, Baltimore and EI- | SPORT NOTES. “Yale loses {o Harvard,” continues to be a favorite pastime among the printers. The Feds now claim pitcher Moore of the Cubs. He is to play with the St. Louls team.

With good weather the boys will not be long in rounding into shape and they will be ready for the opening game here in April. EXC TN Old Bob Fitzsimmons appears to be suflering from an attack of Charleywebbmurphitia. The New York Fight commission having refused to sanction Bob's return to t he ring, the former champ now threatens to put the commision out of business. Paddy Green, the well-known skab artist, has signed to play with the New Britain. Owner Scinski says he is not bothering about Billy Luby and if the big fellow feels that he don’t want to play with the Hardware town team this coming season, Scinski won't ;on—y any for he thinks Bill is slow- g up. For outfielders—With Ty Cobb on bases, when the ball is hit into your teritory, never stop to examine Whether the blow split the cover, or otherwise damaged the ball Ty sometimes discredits the axiom that a straight line is the shortest dis- tance between two points, and and- way your throw might be a few inches off the bag. The hardest job the Princeton hockey coach will be called upon to tackle at the outset of next season will be to disabuse the candidates of the idea that the Tigers weres ordained by some athietic deity to hold the inter- colleglate champlionship. Hobey Baker ‘won the tiels for Princeton this year and he will not be on hand next sea- son to repeat the performance. Dodo Maher, New Haven's fighting Irishman, has the foliowing to say concerning his recent bout with Gene Moriarlty: “That boy Gene Mori- arity was a fast boy all right and he had everything.
