Sometimes the account states that the loss was covered by Insurance, sometimes it says Total Loss. No In- surance. How is it with you, sir? Are you insured?

World’s champion Jess Willard wiil find himself a pretty busy man for some time to come and his manager, Tom Jones, will have to work over- time collecting money on all sides for Willard and himself. Already offers for the services of the new champion have started to pile in at Jones' office and the offers range anywhere from $10,000 to $26,000 for bouts with heavy- weights who are considered eecond and third rate fighters. Campion Wil- lard can now get $20,000 for a bout with a heavyweight, that before last Monday he couldn’t have pulled down over $1,000. Willard starts in by ac- cepting a theatrical engagement in New Orleans which Jack Curley land- ed for him. Several of the heavyweights have is- sued challenges to meet the new cham- pion and omong them is “Gunboat™ light heavyweight, who once beat Willard and beat him beyond question. Of course, Willard was green as grass when Smith defeated him, but “Gun- boat” feels confident he can repeat the trick. Since that bout Willard has learned a good deal as he showed in his bout with Jack Johnson, and it is douttful if there is a white heavy- weight in the world today who stands any show against Williard in a long bout. The logical candidate for Wil- lard’s crown no doubt is San Lang- ford, and as Willard has drawn the color line there isn’'t much chance of another colored heavywelght cham- pion coming to the front for a while. SPORTING NOTES Mike Finn is nominated for an Past- ern association club in New Haven. Pittsfield fans _consider themselves strangers to the Eastern association. Pitcher Cottrell of the Braves has been sold to the New York Americans, Hilly, with Pittsfleld last year, has been sent to the Troy club of the Phillies. Manager Joe Tinker of the Chicago Feds is trying to put through what he calls a big trade. Artie Hofman has smoked cigarettes I his baseball life and can't see why he should stop now. George Brickley, Twin-State grad- uate, has been signed by the Lawrence club of the New England league. “Experienced baseball men” are after Eastern association franchises, according to President Jim O'Rourke. They tell us now that the Eastern association will open May 11. They forget to say what day in May the league will close. Babington, whom Owner Carey of the Springfield club signed last vear without asking him to report, is con- sidered the best ball player at Brown university. The wise ones say he is a comer, Yale has lost for the season Horace Hatch, one of the best middle-distance runners of the track team. Several d’.)’s ago Hatch went to his home in New York city feeling ill. His sick- ness has proved to be pneumonia, al- though his condition is not serious, His absence will severely handicap the trick team in its meets with Har- vard and Princeton, Capt. Young Brings Back The Bacon N. F. A. Baseball Team Defeated Westerly High in Opening Game of Eastern Connecticut Interscholastic League— _ Score 4 to 2—Brickley Held Westerly to Three Hits. In the first league game of the Eastern Interscholastic Baseball league played at Westerly between the high school of that place and the Norwich Free Academy aggregation was re- vealed the fighting spirit of Captain Charles Young and his picked tossers in pulling off a victory with practic- ally no practice whatsoever. The score was N. F. A. 4; Westerly High % If the defenders of the red and white without any practice play mid- season baseball what will they do when they get started? Brickley, last years mainstay hurler, occupied the mound and held the Westerly batters scoreless until the eighth when time- ly batting with the assistance of an error netted two runs. Only three hits were secured off Brickley. The Academy boys deserved much credit for the remarkable showing they made in the fleld as they mussed up only one play and showed the life of big leaguers. At bat they hammer- ed the Westerly pitchers for 12 safe- ties. Although Is s reported that the Westerly nine has had two weeks of practice, they were outclassed in all departments of the game. Coach_Overbagh is laid up with the grip and was unable to take the trip to Westerly and Captain Young had full control and exhibited good gen- eralship in placing his men. This afternoon practice will start in earnest and within a few days Capt. Young reports that thing will be humming along in great style. This Wednesday they meet the well known All Stars and Monday night Manager Hughese of the All Stars re- ported that he will have his usual strong lineup.? N. F.

Directs Cincinnati, Ohfo, April 12—The Na- tional Baseball commission here to- day reversed the ruling of the na- tional board in disallowing the salary claim of Player E. M. Hemingway, of the St. Louis Americans, against the Nashville club of the Southern league and directed the latter club to send its check for $131.50 to the secretary of the commission for transmission to the player. Hemingway, Who refused to accom- pany the Nashville club on one of its trips, clalming iliness, was suspended for {nsubordination. The commission says it cannot approve the suspension of a player for insubordination whose refusal to accompany his team on a trip is due to iliness which confines him to his room and says further that the Nashville club’s arbitrary course with the player was unjustified and operated to a disadvantage to the St. Louls club to whom the player had been released while under suspension, as well as the player himself, INTERNATIONAL LEAGUE SCHEDULE 140 GAMES Adopted at a Meeting of AIl Club Owners—Season Opens April 27. New York, April 12.—All the clubs in the International league were rep- resented at the meeting held today when the playing schedule for the coming season, as prepared by Pres- ident E. G. Barrow, was adopted. The schedule calls for 140 games. On April 27 Toronto will open the season at Richmond, Va.: Buffalo will FINANGIAL AND COMMERGIAL MARKET WAS BEARISH. Trading Was Active With Heavy Sell- ing For Profits. New York, April days’ stock market. Trading was ac- tive enough at all times to indicate that speculative interests were still in control, profits by home and foreign interests, bu?;]n renewal of bearish aggressions as well. Unsettlement was most pronounced in the final hour, when Bethlehem Steel onge more became the center of a feverish buying movement, which sent the price up to 125 or 8 points above-its previous record figure. The stock cloged at 124, a net gain for the day of 16 points. As heretofore, no reasonable explanation for the rise was obtainable and stock market ob- servers ascribed the move as a fur- ther driving in of the shorts. United States Stgel held its recent- ly acquired prominence for the great- part of the session, with another heavy total of individual transactions. At its best it sold within 1 1-4 points of last week’s high prices, but in com- mon with the genera] list, fell back in the final dealings. Other leaders like Union Pacific, Reading and some of the dividend-pay- ing shares falled to equal recent high quotations, Amalgamated Copper be- ing the only important eception. Met- al shares as a whole were firm, Great Northern Ore. certificates manifesting especial strength. Motor shares were notewirthy and specialties moved un- evenly, with offsetting gains and loss- es, Missouri Pacific reflected increasing belief in adjournment of the company’s forthcoming obligations, but Rock Is- land moved languidly in the absence of definite advices respectingg the out- come of the shareholders meeting in Chicago. Time money was quotably higher for all dates, the increased demands from stock brokerage sources contributing appreciably to this situation. London and continental exchange were lower on heavy offerings of remittances. Total sales of stocks were 872,900 shares. Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par value amounted to $3,675,000. U.

Sunday afternoon before a large crowd at the fair grounds the Thermos ball team under the management of George Geophut gave the Y. M. H. A. nine their first beating to the tune of 21 to 8, Manager Geophut selected Jimmie Blair to bring home the bacon, which Jimmie did do very nicely. The main feature of the game was the heavy hitting of the Thermos team, es- pecially the batting of George Kenell, who connected every time up. Mana- ger ‘Geophut says under his coaching, with the aid of Jeff Flders, his team will be invincible with a couple weeks of good ractice. Other noticeable features of the game was the fielding of Bob Steele in center field. Captain Ellsworth was seen at his best at shortstop. * Other Thermos players who participated in Sunday’s game were Squire_Ogdren, Morgan, Onley, Fill- more, 'Wright, Smith and Jeff Elders Manager Geophut wants to know why the Franklin Street Scalpers did not show up Saturday afternoon at Mohe- gan park. He would also like to have the Independents name & date to which ‘he will agree. Independents Challenge. The Independents were disappointed Sunday afternoon, when they were to meet the Senators on the Cranberry. The Senators would have played, but could not furnish a ball.

Veterans Sure to Hold Berths While the Colts Will Warm the Benches. Few newcomers will fill regular pos- itions in the American league this year, according to the dope which is filtering in from various _training camps. Several new faces will be seen on the Cleveland and Chicago teams, but the other clubs will present line- ups which will be largely famlliar. Newcomers this year find themselves slated largely for utllity roles. Pep Young, who will play second for the Tigers, is the only new face Jen- nings will present regularly. Peters will divide the catching with Stanage, ‘who will, however, continue for a while to be classifled as the head of the re- celving staff. Jacobson will play more games than most utility men, but he is not reckoned as a regular. Kavanagh, who will play first until Burns is back, is classed as a veteran. There will be the usual number of new pitchers— three in all probability, as hitherto an- nounced. Word from Red Sox headquarters is that Carrigan will stand pat on his team, with Tutwiler, an outfielder, the only recruit having a chance to break in. Ruth, Mays and Comstock are new pitchers who probably will be carried for a while, Unless Rondeau, the former Tiger catcher, makes good as an outfielder with Washington, Griffith will play an- other year with the lineup he pre- sented last season. He will not even add pitchers to his staff, it is an- nounced, with the exception of Hop- per, who was obtained in a trade with the St. Louis Nationals, A récruit by the name of Kaufman, secured from Eimira, may play first base for the Browns, and Severeid may land a catching berth. That pair, with a few new pitchers who will not be used regularly, will complete Manager Rickey’s changes. ‘With the exception of Lajole at sec- ond Connie Mack is not expected to use any new men this year. Kopf probab- 1y will replace Baker at third, but the youngster has been on the Philadelphia payroll for some time. Mack probably will replace Bender, Plank and Coombs with youngsters from his old second string” pitching staff. He is looking over some new hurlers, but the dope has it that none of them has shown much class. If Bill Donovan makes any changes in the Yankee battle line it will be the sending to the front of Pipp and High, Detroit contributions to_the old Tiger hurler. It is understood around the circuit that High has cinched a job in the gardens and that Pipp is main- taining a lead over Charley Muller in the race for first base. Paddy Bau- mann, the former Tiger keystone sacker, who has been secured from Providence by Donovan, is making a good showing as an outfielder and may be retained as a utility fly chaser. The White Sox will have but one old horse in the infleld. Weaver will continue at shortstop and is expected to become a star under the tutelage of Eadie Collins, who will play second for Rowland, Bundy Brief, who lives at Traverse City, will play first, and either Bronson, from the Three-BEye circuit, or Baker, a former Nap, iwll be at the hot corner, Nobody seems to know what sort of a lineup Birmingham will offer with the Cleveland Indians. Rodgers will replace Lajoie and there will be new faces at third, grst and centre fleld. It is expected that Cleveland also will have some new pitchers, The probable makeup of the Ameri- can League teams this summeh is ts follows: Detroit, Pitchers—Dauss, Dubuc, Coveleske, Boehler, Cunningham, Smithson, Rey- nolds, Boland, Cavet. Catchers—Stanage, McKee, Baker, Peters. Infielders—Burns, Kavanagh, Younsg, Bush, Moriarty, Vitt. Outflelders—Veach, Cobb, Crawford, Jacobson. Philadelphia. .

Playing hobs with the dear old pub- lic is no business for a ball player, no matter how great an idol he'may be. He may make a monkey of the umpire to his heart'’s content, and swat the poor old baseball magnate in the bank roll, but let him attempt to fool with Vox Popull, Constnat Reader and Rabid Fan all in a bunch together, and his well known rep car- ries as much weight as a feather in a gale of wind. And the worst part of it is that not only the player him- self, but the club he works for, not to speak of visiting teams, suffer from the boycott. The case in point is that of Walter Johnson. A year or two ago the Iowa whirlwind was Washington’s first citizen. He shard with the president the plaudits of the populace and, on_occasions, loomed higher and broader than the monument. So great was he that a loving cup was handed to him right out in front of the grand-stand, and to further indi- cate how strong he was, his admirers filleg said cup to the brim with coin of the realm—silver and gold and greenbacks. Last fall, when Walter performed his famous grasshopper stunt, he said things about thé Washington mag- nates, Clark Griffith and the fans, that did mot listen good in print. Walter could have gotten away with his swan song about the magnates and manager and survived, but he warbled a dirge when he tackled the public. It has soured on him good and proper, his recent alibl making matters even worse. The tough part of the present at- titude against Johnsdn is that the club suffers by the prevailing animos- ity against the famous star. The fans are giving the exhibition games the frozen mitt, few attending the contests between the locals and the National leaguers. The Phfllles drew less than 400 at their game Wednes- day and the Superbas had very few more, despfte the Fact that the weather was propitious, as they say at a beach party. Whether the ex- isting state of affairs will continue the most optimistic refuses to eay, but it behooves Johnson to win eariy and often if he hopes to regain even a portlon of his pristine glory on the home grounds. ‘The moral is platn: “When you're up, don’t look down.” SPORTING NOTES.
