OUR OLD SIDE-SQGUIRM HAL CHASE SEEMS TO DIS Ae REASON HA SCORES SHOW OutfleMier Jackson of the Cleve- landa won the game for his team over the Browns by a home run which wae the longest ever seen on the new bail park in the Forest City, the ball going over the forty- five-foot wall and screens tn right centre field. The Dodgers made @ brave at- tempt to defeat the Rustiers in their first home game, but their three Tune scored in the ninth inning, to- r? with the two tallies made earlier, were four runs shy of even tlelng the Hub team. Clyde Engle, the former High- lander, 414 geome nice execution with his bat in the opening American League game in Boston against the Athletics. He got a double and home run in five times up. Jack Coombs, to see him pitch ‘this season, would not impress you as the fellow who won the world championship for Connie Mack’ team last fall. The Red Sox drove him from the box in just two inn- ings. ‘The Rochestera gave the Bkesters an awful beating in the opening game at Jersey City, making ten runs to one for the home team and fifteen hits to their four. What a difference in the Phila- deiphia clubs’ standing, with thi Phillies firet in the National League and the Athletios last in the Amer fcan League! Joe MicGinnity’s Newerks won an uphill victory over the 3ontreals, wooring eight rune in their last three times at the bat. the Pacifio Coast. Nelson made nai showing for many rounds, but olgast gave him such a terrific beat- ing after the twenty-seventh round that referee Exidie Smith was forced to stop the bout in the fortieth round in order to save Nelson's life. In the round preceding the final ses- sion Smith went tnto Nelson's corner to eee how he looked, Bat's Ups were @ ingle word. “Do you want to continue™ Smith asked the Dane, and Bat nodded his head in the affirmative. Realizing how dangerous, Nelson's condition was, Smith leaned over the ropes and im- plored Neleon’s chief second to throw up the sponge. ‘If you don't make him quit now I'll surely stop the fight in the coming round,” said Smith. In the twenty-second round Nelson came to the front with @ rush, and with a right cross to the jaw he dropped the “Michigan Wildcat” for the count of three, Wolgast slowly regained his feet, and for two rounds he managed to avoid Nelson's savage rushes. After the twenty-seventh round Wol- gast made a chopping block of Nelson. ‘Dhe Battler's face was @ sight. In the Jaat twelve rounda the once “Durable Dane” was practically blinded. From then on Bat was handed the worst beat- ing he had ever received in hia life. In the fortieth round Referee Smith stopped the fight and awanied Wolgast the decision and the title of lightweight champion of the word went with that ewan. Woigast returned to his Michigan home. Hoe 1s unusually fond of coun- try life, and spenda most of his time ‘on his farm.

(Gpectal to The Brening World.) Philadelphia, April 2 IE New York Giants woke up I this morning to face the prob- ability of Datting a Jack Rowan in this afternoon's game at Ph jelphia = Park. McGraw's men made only five hits against Moore and Rowan in two games at the Polo Grounda last week, and yesterday they did even less against the Quakers’ giant, for they got only one single tn- stead of two hits as was the casa on opening day in New York, Rowan has been picked to face the Giante this afternoon and they are just in the mood to tear eomething lone. Magee's two catches of terrific drives e the talk of the Giants’ camp 7 Snodgrass and Murray are @ the fact that Magee put batting average. Snod- grass had a home run In sight until Mages pulled his drive out of theleach- ers, apd Murray‘a elashing poke had morn every appearance of @ triple unt the ;aame fielder pulled off what tooked to | played at we be an impossible feat.

Russen Ford, the ster spitball twirler declares that has joined the Jinx Club, of which Leon Ames is the per manent president. Ho pitched ona of the most beautiful games ever seen on | the Hilltop, only to toma {t away him- self by one bad throw in the firat in- ning. After that the Nationals wera | helpless before hia twisting benders, During the entire game he allowed but four hits, and two of thone came in tho lamentable first Inning. The hitting had Mttle to do with the run, however, as the bad throw was the only one thing that gave Washington a run, ‘There were runners on first and {ond tase, with none out, when Elber- feld bunted toward third, Ford ran over and grabbed the ball, only to heave it over Chitse's head and allow Milan to score. Schaefer moved up to third and Elberfeld went to second, but they died there, as Ford retired the next three batters with utmost ease. | In addition to that bad throw, other things broke badly for the unfortunate Ford and jis team mates, With o out in the third toning, Wolter slammed & beautiful two-bagger to the fence. | All of @ sudden the fans saw Wolter | shoot out from second and die tn an| attempt to steal third, ‘This could not be understood untll after the me whon Wolter sald he thought that Hemphill had given the signal for the hit and run play, and he started. | Hemphill mays he did not give tt, and} when Wolter lit out for third there was @ “pitch out" and Hemphill made no at- empt to atrike at the ball.
