Brooklyn, 8; Boston, 2. Federal League. Brooklyn, 1; Pittsburgh, 0 (10 in.). No other game scheduled. Some of Maj. Funkhouser's more or less aids were out at the doings on the South Side yesterday. The major was not present with his cen sor board, or he would have ordered a "cut out" on Jack Graney's triple in the sjxth and "wonderful one-hand catch in the seventh, which caused a near crime wave among the bugs. Several peanut butchers solicited patronage and were not arrested by the morals' inspectors. George Chip won a slight shade over Knockout Brown in Akron, O. Both men were willing to mix, but failed to damage each other. Jack Dillon got the Verdfct over Battling Levinsky at the end of twelve rounds in Butte, Mont. Dillon outboxed the New Yorker, who ap peared affected by the high altitude. He was winded early in the fight. Ad Wolgast and Joe Rivers have been matched to fight twenty rounds in I -os Angeles May 19 or 22. Earl Blackburn, sub Cincinnati catcher, may jump to the Feds. He was sold to Indianapolis, and asked for more money when told he would do regular duty. Blackburn was one of Tinker's finds and talked to his old boss when the latter was in Coving ton last Sunday.

Th,e outfield is only average, but it may make up in batting what it lacked in artistic execution. One encouraging feature is the work of Hal Chase around first base. Many of the wise ones opined that Hal was through last year and had been for some time. The shift from the Yanks to the Sox resulted in re awakening him to a certain extent, but he was not the same Chase who earned the title of Prince Hal. Yesterday he did everything that could be expected, and a whole lot that the large majority of first base men would never have gotten away with. The manner in which he went about his work was enough to cause thrills among Sox fans, who have been eagerly awaiting a star first baseman since Jiggs Donahue pass ed on. Chase was there with his marvel ous ground covering and had his snap throw perfect His ankles are strong again and he moved around with as surance. He acted like a youngster breaking in, with all the Inish of a veteran. The combination can't be beat. Two of his plays, in the third and ninth, were of the regulation Chase type. In the third O'Neill opened with mmmtmmmmmmmmmtmammmamm
