Cincinnati, April 26—The sale of Player Bldred by the Chicago Ameri- can league club to the Newari team was given official sanction by the Na- tional Baseball Commission here to- day when it dismissed the claim of the Milwaukee club to the player, The Milwaukee club contended that the player Was returned to the Seat- tle club and that Seattle entered into on agréement to seil him to Milwau- kee upon delivery to Chicazo. The commission ruled that the Chicago club retained the playcr and paid for him in full, instead of returning him to Seattle, and. therefore it bad a per- fect right to .sell him to Newark. SPRINGFIELD LOOKS FOR FAST TEAM Fans Expect Ponies to Make Hot Fight For Flag. Worcester and Springfield promise 10 be ot rivals' in the Eastern league roce this year. The New London champions "are out to repeat and ‘Sene McCann has a prospective team which looks very good on paper. With the opening of the season only a few weeks away, Manager Jack O’Hara, of Springfleld’ has already laid plans for a gala occasion to start the Eastern league on its way in that city, A parade, a band, and the hoisting of Old Glory to the top of a brand-new flagpole at League park are among the features promised. Within the short space of 10 dayvs the - players who will make up the Green Sox team this season will be mobilized at lLeague park and prac- tice will get under way. Manager O’Hara hasn’t been sayinz a whole lot about that team, but he is promising this much—that when the time comes it is going to be a team which will give Springfleld fans its all. Accord- ing to the line pursued in bullding up the Sox the local club is going to be one of the rising young stars rather than beaten torn war horses an dthat is the kind of a club which shows re- sults. — Manager O'Hara - has been busy for the past week getting in touch with the men who will repre- sent Springfleld this summer and he now has a fair line on those he will bring here. From last season’s pitching staff Cpringfield has reserved Powers, Gero and_Johnson. Daniels has been sold to Portland and Hal Justin is now with the Buffalo club. To the nu- cleus O'Hara has added Jack Bar- rom, Otto Rettiz and MaLette. These six, together wth several youngsters with college and semi-pro reputations, will probadly give O'Hara all he wants for a twirling department. Jimmy Stevens and Jigger Oferholm | will return to take care of the catch- ing. Reserved inflelders include Ma- honey, Riconda, Spires and Hammond, who will report after the collece sea- son closes. To these he has added the names of “Rubber” Woods and John- ny_ Mitchell. The Springfield outfield is the real problem, for John Hickey Is the only one of last season’s trio reserved. Fred Smith was signed only for the remainder of last season when he came here, and Everett Boce is now plaving an infield position in the Texas league. Eddie King, former “Aggie” and Athletics’ star, hes been added and other recruits will be around trying out. so Manager O'Hara is not worrying over this department.

Morris recognized this fact and played for the body throughout, but “offey wasted his strength in_efforts to reach the jaw when he was too tired and exhausted to hit the smaiier mark. Morris and Frank Moran will meet In the next heavyweight battle of any importance. These men are matched at Kansas City for a bout next month, the contest to go 15 rounds to a de- cision. Why Kansas City was selected for the battleground when the big fel- iows are playing to packed houses in New York is not apparent. However Gotham fans probably will have no cause to regret missing this affair. Moran recently showed that he is back in his old time form again and he always is an interesting scrapper. but it is doubtful whether he would make a good opponment for Morris, whose style, or rather lack of style, spoils every bout in which he takes part. Moran is a one-punch man and a poor infighter. As Moran has found out that his only chance is to keep close and use his great strength to wrestle his opponent into a state of collapse, it is clear that the bout will be a dreary spectacie for the specta- tors. BATSMEN GET AWAY WITH FLYING COLORS. Averages Show That the Sluggers in Both Leacues Are Rounding in Form. Tris Speaker of Cleveland, champion batter of 1816, got away to a fving start in the race for hitting honors ip the American league, his unofficial av- erage for the first six games of the season being .400—25 points ahead of Peckinpaugh of New York. The aver- ages include games of Wednesday, April 18. Cobb of Detroit is seventh in the list with an average of .333. Leboliq of Chicago and Hoblitzell of Boston lead in stolen bases with three each. Cobb has two. '‘Sarry of Boston tops the list in sacrifice hits with four, and in runs scored with eight. Sisler of St. Louls, Schalk of Chicago, Hoblitzell Jaw Blow on Morris. Jim Coffey did not do so badly in his bout with Carl Morris. Considering | the condition Coffey was in last year after his defeats by Frank Moran, his sho‘lns against the Sapulpa hulk in- dicates that he is improving in the matter of endurance, at any rate. Cof- fey's nerves still are somewhat u; steady, howeyer. The excitable Irish- man was under a great nervous strain and this sapped his etrength and pre. vented him from timing his blows right, says Fred Keats In the New York Sun. Lack of generalship still is Coffey's weakest point. - He directed all his blows for the head, although it was plain he had little chance of scoring a knockout by that style of attack. In a contest of endurance a body. blow is of far more value than a crack om the and Walker of Boston, Jackson of Chi- cago and Bodie of Philadelphia are tied for home run. honors with one each.

BERRY TO HAVE PLENTY OF COMPETITION Meet Ag- Pentathlon Champ Will gres:ve Rival Howard Berry, the pentathlon cham- pion of the last ten years will have plenty of competition In the pentathlon which will be staged Friday, April 27. In addition to Burke of Wisconsin, Higgins of Chicago, Thompson, Dart- mouth and Moot of Swarthmore, S racuse has sent in the names of Rob- erts and Schultz. Colgate entered Grille, and Lehigh entered W. Mec- Of these Grille and Roberts mrre the best known. Roberts is a good hurdler and broad jumper. He will give Berry a harg tustle in the 200 meters and the broad jump. If he can do well with the discus and the Jjavelin he will prove a very dangerous competitor for Pennsylvania’s famous athlete. Grille has a great reputation in northern New York as an all around athlete. McCarthy of Lehigh, has been given a careful preparation for the event. He throws the javelin and the discuss well and is a good runner. Like Berry, he is not really a_star a! any one event, but he is good at all His coach thinks that he will make a very good showin Berry is a busy man these days. In addition to being captain of the base- ball team, Berry is very active in mil- itary matters. ~As one of those who spent.all last summer on the Mexi- can border Berry is a valuable aid to Major Pickering in training the ath- letes’ battalion. In his spare time Berry gets in a little practice for the pentathion event. His previous two years' ex- perience will stand him in good stead this year. Between his military train- ing and baseball he is in fine shape, and Coach Robertson counts on his making a very. good showing URGING HORSE BREEDING IN THE EAST; Jockey Clubs to Encourage to Breed Horse We are now virtually in the midst of the horse-breeding season. Every farmer and horse breeder in the Unit- ed States should make 1917 a banner year in the way of production. Intel- ligence should be exercises in the mat- ter of selection. Type should be ad- hered fo, and for those who are grop- ing in the dark such authorities as the Bureau of Animal Husbandry of the Department of Agriculture at Wash- ington, the varfous state institutions, the bureau of. breeding of the Jockey ciub in New York or the Kentucky State Racing commission, with head- quarters at Lexington, should be con- sulted. The Jockey club has in the Genessee Valley and other sections of New York state first-hand exhibits, which point the wav to success. It takes about six years to produce a horse readv to go into active service and the time to increase our supply is now. In two months the season will be virtually over and a good year will have been lost. It Is’ fortunate that we have so much good blood, thorough- bred, standard bred and coaching, in the United States, that great thinws may be accomplished in a decade. Willard’s Title Not in Dang, Competent judges of pugilism who have witnessed the various bouts of recent months in which Fred Fulton, Jim Coffey, Car! Morris and Frank Moran have participated appear to be A unit in the opinion that Champion Wilard's title is not in danger. None of the quartette has shown boxing skill equal to that possessed by the cham- plon. With the possible exception of Morris, Willard is eagily superior in physical strength and has demonstrat- ed ability to stand punishment with less discomfort and confusion of pur- pose than any of the four leading con- tenders for a chance at the heavy- weight honors. Eastern Colleges Hasty. A number of the larger eastern ‘col- leges have. awakened to the fact that they acted too hastily in declaring off all intercollegiate athletics, following the declaration that o state of War ex isted, Intermural competition has found to be a fallure as a submst and individual entries or hastily re arranged schedules are being advocated to rectify the situation created by first burst of patriotism.
