The fight- ers are lightwelghts. Cross had the advantage in seven rounds, Mohr in five, with the other rounds even. Mohr weighed 135 pounds at 2 ofclock, Cross not having to make weight through a mistake in the ar- ticles. Buddy Faulks of this city lost lnl six rounds to Al Shubert of New Bed- ford. Joe “Kid” Shea of this city won by a close margin over Tommy Shea of New Haven in six rounds. Charlie Nolan won from Kid Lewis, both of this city. Lewis quit in the fourth round, claiming a foul. WILL THE BRAVES CAPTURE THE FLAG? Manager George Stallings Expects Stronger Opposition This Season. Will the Braves walk away with the Natlonal league flag this year? It would seem that the team which bat- tered down all opposition last year, strengthened by the acquisition of Sherwood Magee, the former Philly slugger, would have a comparative cinch in copping the gonfalon, but there are those who think the Braves will not even be in the running. Seven managers in the National league are firmly of that opinion. George Stal- lings is the only manager who does not agree with them. George has already dispensed with the formality of copping the flag and is figuring on his_team’s chances in the 1915 world’s series. George says that. while he expects greater opposition this season as a result of the strengthening of the other seven managers in the league, no one team has been sufficlently strengthened to interfere serfously with his team’s chances. And the other seven managers in the league answer in chorus, “We shall see.” BAKER WANTS TO COME BACK. “Home Run” Awaits Invitation from Connie Mack. Connie Mack, the Athletics’ man- ager, and Home Run Baker, who has been holding out all winter for more salary, conferred in the former's of- fice immediately after the Athletics- Red Sox game at Philadelphia, Wed- nesday, and the chances are that Baker will again flll his position at third base before many days. The lure of the diamond has got on Baker's nerves. “I'll come back if Connie asks me,” FINANGIAL AND COMMERCIAL MARKET WAS STRONG. Over 200 Separate and Distinct Issues Were Traded In. New York, April 15.—Although the volume of business was slightly under that of last Friday, today’s stock market surpassed all records for con- siderably over a year in the strength and scope of its upward sweep. Over 200 separate and distinct issues were traded in, among these being a num- ber of stocks whose long period of inactivity had all but caused them to be_ forgotten, One of the reassuring features of the session was the comparative qui- escence of Bethlehem Steeel. which remained in retirement after its early advanc and closed with a one point loss. The entire list, with a few un- important exceptions, rose under the irresistible influence of an avalanche of new buying orders. From time to time this was partially neutralized by a renewal of selling for profits on an enormous scale. In the final hour recessions of a point or two resulted but net gains of two to five points were recorded in various stocks, while among inconspicuous specialties even greater advances were made. Union Pacific, United States Steel and other specuiative favorites repeat- ed their high prices of a day or two ago and many other stocks of high and low degree rose to levels unequal- led in several years. Almost the only stocks to reflect backwardness were those comprising the motor group, but even these losses were normal in com- parison with their gains of the past few weeks. Engagement of $7,000,000 gold from Canada and intimations of additional imports from the Orient were among the more interesting developments bearing upon the general financial situation. Exchange on Germany was a trifie firmer amd remittances to London showed no material change in that quarter, Americans’ were irregular -in Lon- don, Canadian issues being lower, with a better demand for transcontinentals. The Bank of England reported a de- cided gain in its gold holdings, the first in several weeks, together with a slight strengthening of its reserve lia- bilities. Total sales of stocks amounted to 1,250,000 shares. A\ Following some early irregularity, the bond market turned strong. Total sales, par value, aggregated $4,000,000. United States coupon 3's declined 1-2 per cent. on call. STOCKS.

New Haven, Conn., April 15.—There s another shakeup in the Yale var- sity eight today, four men being taken from the second into the first boat. It is expected that the order in which the men are now rowing will continue for some time at least. The first elght is now seated: Stroke, Adams; 7, Wiman; 5, Sturtevant; 4, Whittlesey; 2, Gilfillan; bow Munson; McLane. Adams displaces Morse, who has gone to stroke in the second eight; ‘Whittlesey takes the place of Shel- don, who rowed against Harvard last yeal Gilfillan replaces Bennett and Munson takes Coe's seat. Wiman changed places with Low. A cut was also made in the train- ing table squad, which it was an- nounced would consist for present of the men in the first boat and Morse and_Sheldon. The crews were glven a five mile row on the harbor today. Recently Coach Guy Nickalls, following the Pennsylvania races, made a general rearrangement of the oarsmen, the design being, it was then_ stated, to retard the development of the men giving them so-called “periods of rest” to guard against their going stale. 6, Myer; 3, Low; coxswain, Gould Huhn Won at Tennis.

The retirement of “Home-run” Baker was the big event of recent diamund i ;. In the May issue of the - agazine the great slugger tells own words the reasons which led him to forsake a pennant winning club for the farm. Baker says: “I hope Mack can get ten men as good as I am, or better, to fill the place. I wish him all the luck in the world. Mack has always treated me fairly, but I owe him no debt. I have treated him as fairly as he has treated me, “There isn't anything to be gained by such talk. I don’t know whether or not Mack has said all the things he has been reported as saving. But there have been mistakes made some- where. “It was reported in the press that Mack made the statement that he had to come down to Trappe every year to sign me, and that the last time he told me it was too much trouble to go to that effort every season, and he would like to avoid it by signing me for three years. I don't believe Mack made this statement. The only time he ever came to Trappe in his life was when he came to sign me for three years. And he came then because he was afraid the Federal League might be after me and he wanted to forestall their efforts. There is no mystery about that, I guess, to anyone. “I had always signed a contract for one year at a time. This seemed the fairest way to me. Then, if I had a better season than I expected, I would be in a position to ask for more money, while if I did not, I would never be a verse to accepting a cut. That state- ment will not be believed; but it is true. T would not willingly take more money than I thought I was worth. If I was a dub player and by good fortune or luck had been able to sign up for five thousand dollars a year I wouldn't have the face to take my salary if I knew it was all out of reason and more than I was worth. “This time Mack, however, wanted me to sign for three years. He told me his reasons. I tried to argue with him and told him that he needn’t be afraid of my leaving him in the lurch and jumping to the Federal League. I had no intention of going to the Federal League, and in any case I would always be willing to work for him for less money than I would work anywhere else. That was what I told him then and I still say it, I would work for the Athletics cheaper than I would work for anybody else. “I told him that I didn’t want to sign for more than one year. That I couldn’t foresee what the conditions would be at that time. As long as conditions were the same as when I signed it might be possible to arrange things. But these conditions might 6-2 and 6-0 in the opening round of the national tournament. Joshua Crane and G. R. Fearing, Jr. of the Tennis and Racquet club, Boston, won from George H. Brooke and Edgar Scott, of this city, 6-4, 6-2 and 6-4. C. Suy- dam Cutting and E. Maurice Roche of Tuxedo won from James B. Low- ell and Ford Huntingdon, New York, by _default.

Sec Reddy of the Bridgeport club says he has canceled all his exhi- bitlon games. He refuses to admit that Bridgeport will cancel all its league games. O3 change. And if they did, as was not unlikely, they would change the nature of the contract, “Mack pressed me, however, to sign, I am easy-going, I guess. At any rate, 1 didn’t refuse him. I signed the con- tract. But I told him when I did so that I would quit the game at the end of the vear. I had that right. If I was dissatisfied I had no right to go back on my contract and demand a new agreement if the conditions were unsatisfactory. But I did have the right to quit if T wanted to, especially as I reserved that right at the time and told Mack it was my intention to do so. “Later in the summer there was a good deal of trouble over the ten-day clause. The Federal League was mak- ing capital out of this clause and the owners were signing the players all over again to other contracts with the clause omitted. Mack was doing the same thing. He had trouble with Col- lins and McInnes and some of the rest in getting them to agree to the change. And he had to pay them more money for thelr consent to the new arrange- ment. I knew the trouble he was hav- ing with some of his players, and 1 felt rather sorry for him. It is an exasperating thing to be a manager. The player has only one man to deal with, but the manager has twenty-five or more. And it is a hard job to keep them all satisfied. “I knew this, so when he came to me and asked me to have my contract re- written I told him to do whatever he wanted to do with it. I made no at- tempt to hold him up in any way. I dislike to mention this fact. I would prefer that Mack should do it. I men- tion it at all merely to show that in my dealings with him I was never trying to hold him up or take him at a disadvantage. “After the season closed T told Mack that I did not intend to play this sea- son. The world’s serfes was a great disappointment. I don’t think, how- ever, that anyone in recent years has ever seen the Athletics play a worse game than they did during the series, while, although I can’t speak with so much’ certainty on that point, I doubt if the Braves ever played a better game than_they put up in the four big contests. We had been in a slump for two months and every man played be- low form. But that, of course, is a part of baseball. Affer the season was over, however, and Plank and Bender went, it put a big crimp in our pen- nant’ prospects. Eddle Collins’ going hurt the club in speed and perhaps in batting, though Lajoie is liable to have a great year. Still Lajoie is a veteran of many seasons and Collins is in his prime. So I believe it is impossible to fill his place, though no doubt Lajoie will fill it as nearly as anyone could. All told, however, the conditions which existed a year 'ago are much changed. Then the Athletics were as sure a pen- nant winner as a club is ever sure in baseball, and the world's series money ‘was within the reach of every ome of = &priéc the players on that club. Now. while of course, the Athletics may win the pennant, they have fallen from prac- tically a- sure thing to a remote chance. Personally, I belleve the Red Sox have the best show for the flag. “I wrote Mack a letter this spring telling him that I would not play this vear. It was merely in line with what I had told him before on several oc- casions, and what I had told him when I signed.. Perhaps it may not be the best way of doing business, but it is my way at any rate. I have no mght under contract to ask him for any more money, and I haven't asked him for more money. Furthern:ore, I have no intention of asking him or anybody else for more money. Mack wrote me a letter some time ago and asked me if the money question was what was bothering me, and if it was wnat I wanted to be satisfied. I didn’t even answer the letter. If he wants me to play he knows where I am. If he doesn’t, it suits me. I am very well contented on the farm. I have a good farm, over two hundred acres, well stocked and well cultivated. I can earn a good living here in Trappe, the town where I was born. Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S CASTORIA LEGAL NOTICE LEGAL NOTICE DOGS TO BE SHOT.
