Pa.v Antonio, Tex.. March 31. Easter
Fjnd.iy found the Giants Uklns more
tribute from tha San Antonio Bronchos.
Murine tin- past two days th National
I.jcuii champions have amply demon
straicd that wading through Pan An
tonio was a little softer snap than pin
ning the shoulders of the Chicago Wilte
Fox to the baseball greensward. To
day the Wants also displayed the rela
tive difference between National League
bull and the Texas League brand. The
Bronchos swung their sticks frith con
siderable skill and rapped out ten bin
ties against eight for the New Tork.
but the rcore was practically the same
as In yesterday's contest. The Giants
won by wore of 7 to 1.
Slim Sallec. the Hlgglnsport. Ohio,
sherin. started off for the Giants. He
remitted four hits In as many Innings,
though tun should have tvon fielded.
Penny Kauff lost fly In the sun nnd It
went 'for a double, while Fletcher nlso
;.t Texas l.caguer get away from htm.
rtie had .i pretty tough ufternoon. as
Vd spilled nr.other fly, made a wild
hrow to first and also muffed a throw
'ram the outflelA when he had a chance
for a play at third.
With all that, the Texan could corn
rile only one run. Jesse Barnes went
Ihrnugh five Innings and yielded si
i loan hits. Sharp support kept Jesse's
tint clean, as Doyle, Fletcher and
IMVe. pulled two snappy double plays.
Two youngsters. Harper and Hydom.
pitched for San Antonio, and they lived
inj to their nicknames of Wild Bronchos.
N'etther seemed to hare had much tam
irg, as between them they dished out
eight bases nn bolls, while Harper, Imi
tating his wild namesake, on the Wash
'rtton dub, winced both Fletcher and
Zimmerman.
Giants Start Karly.
The Giants got busy In the first tnnlnc
when th'y hung up two runs. Young,
who l known In this county as Tounirs.
smbbed a line single to centre and
Benny bumped Harper's first pitch for
a hot double clown tho right field fence.
Hub .Northen. a former serf of Squire
nbb'ts of Hlatbush. threw the ball In
mldly and Young scored, while Kauff
landed nt third. Benny came home when
TYyle hit a sacrifice fly- to right, which
was muffed by Northen, though Hub
manured to force Zlmm at second.
Heinle having reached baee on a casual
ly pass.
Pan Antonio drew its lone run on
Sallfo in the second, a run which would
fas through few pure food tests. Hale
jro a "sun" double when Ills fly went
through Knuff's hande and scored when
lletchcr muffed Pier's fly Just Inside
t"i left field foul line.
The Olants blossomed out with sn
rther pair of runs in the third. Benny
Kauff won the friendship of the soldiers
when again lie picked out tho first ball
and knocked it out for a double, this
time against the left field boards. He
scored on Zlmm's single, which was
fumbled by the noble Northen. Gibson's
wild throw sent' Heinle to the third.
TUtcher was hit.
World's Series Play Bepeated.
Then the famous Zlmm-Colllns-Rarl-4ii
play of the world's series was put
rr., hut this time Bronx Helnrlch was
tho hero, not the fall guy. On an at
tempted double steal, Gibson threw the
h.n) to Harper, the pitcher, and Zlmm
mi caged between the bales. Then
Hale, the Broncho third baseman, pull
ric the samo play as Zlmm, tried to
beat Heinle tn a throw to the plate.
Instead of remaining at the plate
fitbson, the San Antonio catcher, pulled
the rama bono as did Rarlden in the
wrrld's series. He ran up the line.
When Hals did throw to Gibson Zlmm
m him the accidental shoulder,
'nrclng him to drop tho ball. Nobody
hieked up tho plate, hence Heinle, hav
Irg a clear field, scored. Tho score:

HIGH LIGHTS AND SHADOWS
IN ALL SPHERES OF SPORT
Br DANIEL.
TWO weeks from to-day and the major league baseball season will be
Inaugurated. All the .clubs have passed the first stage of their
training- and the managers have a fairly reliable line on the material
with which they will enter the pennant fights. Averaging up the prospects
of the three local outfits they appear none too promising they are decidedly
topheavy on the aide of the Giants. Brooklyn nowhere has been regarded
with trepidation, but we must confess that In the last week the status
of the Yankees has suffered greatly. It may be that tho true worth of the
crew under Miller Hugglns will be shown to be far above that which It
now seems to possess when It begins the rerles against the Braves to-morrow.
But until they do things we must not count too heavily on the Yankeos.
In the past It has been customary to predict nothing but glowing successes
for tho nuppert-IIuston entry. A reversal of that proccduro this year
may bring moro salutary results.
Hugglns makes no bones about his being worried nbout his pitching
stnff. Even with Bob Shawkey, Urban Shocker and Hay Fisher it looked
none too good last eeaton. Now that Shawkey has resigned to enlist in
tho national service. Shocker has been traded to the Browns and Fisher
has Joined the army at Fort Slocum the Yank pitching corps takes on a
much riddled appearance. Shawkey was expected to return to his 1916
rorm. even greater things were looked for from the damp delivery of Shocker
nnd Flslier always waa a mainstay. However, thero is no sense In crying
over spilt milk. Shawkey and Fisher belong in tho ervl and Shocker
belongs with the Browns. Hugglns had to let Shocker go in order to hnd
Uerrlll Pratt. Bill Donovan, the deposed manager of tho Yankees, in con
versation with New York baseball writers nt Wnco last Friday declared
thnt Hugglns had started his managerial regime with a fatal mistakethe
release of yiioeker. That perhaps wns bad taste on Donovan's part. Whether
Hugglns made an error Is yet to be proved.
Must Gel Another Experienced Fltcher.
Except for a leg injury Ray Caldwell has been coming along In fine
shape. Allen Russell, whose effectiveness last season was reducod to nil
by numbness of several pitching fingers, Is reported to have got over that
ailment and ts counted on an irregular. GeorgeMogrldge has not shown
to terrific advantage and Slim Love still appears to be an In and outer.
Hugglns doea not hope for more than one regular contribution from among
Thorraahlen, Monroe and McQraw. The more we consider this pitching
proposition the more are we Impressed with the difficulties In which Hugglns
flnda himself. There Is no question that If the Yanks are to get anything
like the moat out of their Increased batting strength they must acquire at
least one more experienced pitcher. Eddie Plank may prove tho man.
Hugglns feels that the veteran will show up when the club lands North
but we have our doubts.
As for tho Giants they have not been cavorting with their old speed
at Marlln this year. As ball clubs go the Giants arc quite an aged aggrega
tion and It will take the rest of Uie pennant fight to develop their speed
and their desire t do things. With a veteran pitching rUff. with only
Robertson thus far lost from the 1917 flag winners and Ross Young prom
ising to do even greater deeds than did Davey, McGraw's outlook has a rosy
background. Rival managers concede that he has tho flag in his grasp.
For the Dodgers the last week has done nothing but make, a bad situ
ation worse, Zack Wheat continues obstreperous and Charley Ebbets has
withdrawn the contract offered him. Chuck Ward, who had been counted
on for third base, has been drafted Into tho army nnd Iarry Lajolo, pur
chased from Toronto, refuses to go anywhere except to Indianapolis, which
wants him ss manager. Wllbcrt Robinson Is hot on tho trail of another
Inflclder and another outfielder. The encouraging factors developed In the
last few days are the return of Jeff rfeffer to perhaps tcmporarv service and
tho hard hitting of Olllo O'Mara.
CasaaKr List of British and French Boxers.
Professional athletes In the service "over there" seem to load a charmed
life. They go Into the worst messes, such as that In whleh Hank Gowdy,
tho Boston catcher, figured In somo weeks ago, nnd they usually come
through unscathed. Though practically all of tho British boxers are In
the service only Ave of any account have thus far' been killed. A similar
number of French boxers has made tho great sacrifice. Victor Breyer, the
leading French boxing authority, has made a list of the British and French
casualties, which are as follows:
British Tom McCormlck, Pete Brown, Billy Ledbury. Georgie Wells
and Jerry Delaney,
French Bernard, Henri Plet. Gaston Clement, Robert Loeach and
Louis Lacroix.
McCormlck was one of the best welterweights developed In England.
He defeated such men as Albert Badoud nnd Johnny Somers and won the
Australian championship. Some ten years npo Brown waa numbered among
the best mlddlewelghts In Europe, white Ladbury was n flyweight of con
siderable ability. He fought for the British title thrice and earned a deci
sion over Charley Ledoux, the French bantamweight champion. Wells was
a brother of tho champion. Bombardier Wells, and Delaney was a brother
of Fred and one of the hardest hitters seen in England in recent years.
Dclaney's home folks have erected a monument to his memory.
Bernard and Plet Best Known Among French Contingent.
Of the French contingent probably tlw best known were Bernard and
Piet. Bernard was a middleweight of considerable skill, who had decisions
over Badoud, Marcel Moreau and Adrian Hogan. He was the best man
of his class In Franco when ho wns killed In an acroplano accident ut the
front. Plet was a lightweight, who was en In action on this side. In
1909 and 1910 he fought a dozen bouts in New York, Philadelphia and New
Orleans against such men s Wolgast, Kid Burns and Benny Yangcr.
Wolgast knocked him out In two rounds.
.Clement was a former featherweight champion of France, Locsch was
a promising young lightweight and Lacroix was the French welterweight
title holder. One of Lacroix's last fights resulted in a knockout by Georges
Carpentier In nine rounds. He made Lenaerts, the Belgian, quit in eight
rounds, and Just now Lenaerts is said to bo one of the L:st heavyweights
in Europe.
With the exception of Lacroix all tho French champions are alive nnd
In the service. They are Carpentier. heavyweight: Hogan, middleweight;
Papin, lightweight; De Ponthieu, featherweight, and Ledoux, bantam weight.
Princeton Varsity Eight to Row Three Races.
Princeton has Joined Harvard, Yalo and Cornell In a definite decision
not to row In the national regatta on the Severn on May 18. The Tiger
varsity and freshman crews will row all their races over thrlr home course
on Lake Carnegie. The season will be opened with a contest between the
freshmen and Central High School of Philadelphia nn April 20. On April
87 there will be varsity and freshman races with Harvard and on May 4
the Columbia and Pennsylvania eights will be met for the Chllds cup. On
May 26 there will bo varsity and freshman races against Cornell.
It will be noted that this schedule does not provido for a Yale-Princeton
regatta, which we had been led to bellevo was a fixture for this spring.
It develops that Yalo Invited the Tigers to row on tho Housatonlc on May
18, but in view of Princeton's decision not to row away from home and In
consideration of the fact that May 18 already has been designated as the
date for the Annapolis regatta tho Tigers could not accept the offer.

nT JOIIX O. A.NDF.RSOX.
I read a few days ago sn account of
the open rrofesslonal tournament ,at
nellealr, which was won so handily by
Joclc Hutchison, whose rise to a share
In tho topmost golf honors hid beeu
a.i steady as Is his brilliant game. An
Incident where Hutchison lost two
strokes thiough a penalty commando
tho attention, particularly after a tft
rusal of the following quotation sent
up from the South.
"Joel; waa still sore about hitting th'e
oaddy Tiouse on the eighteenth hole i)f
the morning round, which cost him tfo
strokes. On the first day Jock mado
the same kind of a shot on the sam
hole, and his ball hit the trellis and
bounded haffk, which left him a falr8y
decent place to Blay from, but the svi
ond time he hit it the ball boundtd
through ono of the holes nnd left aii
almost Impossible position to play from.
"Jock was so excited he turned to Boh
McDonald Inquiringly, as much as to
say. 'Shall 1 play It, Hob, or drop out?'
Hut Hob was too wise, knowing full well
that if he offered any advice Jock would
have had to pay a heavier penalty, fi
he would not be allowed to accept ad
vice. McDonald came In for a share of
this money, as he and Jock were split
ting fifty-fifty on the tournament" r
There It Is in a nutshell, the last sen
tence telling the story. They wera split
tin: fifty-fifty on the tournament! Now
before going any further tn tha disctM
slon let me say that I approached this
toplo with a mind partly prejudiced
against such combinations. In other
years and months I had both spoken and
written my thoughts of opposition.
Wondering whether I might be partly
mistaken In my views of the matter. I
took the trouble to question nearly a
score of professionals of all grades, sulk
ing them If they approved of the prac
tice, and would they please state the
arguments (n favor. How many of ths
twenty approved? Not one. How many
arguments were given for the combina
tions? Not one. Then thero must be
something radically wrong In, the split
tlnsrof purses, and an article on the toplj
seems (tilte apropos.
Shonld Not Be Teamed.
There are manyargumcnts against
this system of campaigning, which was
termed "pernicious" by more than onn
of the pros whom I tackled on tho sub
ject, let me catalogue a few.
1. To the victor belongs the spolls.
. Purses ar not proffered to this end.
3. It opens up the way for sharp prac
tices. 4. It lowers the estimation of tho
whole body of golf professionals In thn
minds of the golfing rank and file.
5. There is less Interest In professional
golf when such comblnatlonn abound.
There are many other Indictments, hut
the few listed above should prove Midi
nlent for the point in hand. It is In
order to ask whether a professions,1'
prido should be dulled and stifled when
the attention Is drawn to tho points
listed. It ought to be snd practically
ia impossible for a golfer finishing In
the rut to aid his friend who wins t,h"
tournament. And yet because of ,,w
friendly arrangement Hill and Jack di
vide thn J200.
One might with almost equal rlgljt
say that Hill and Jack won the title,
since, each received an equal Miaro of
the first prize. Nor must it bo forgotten
that golfers do not hang up largo purses
for this method of distribution. Team
play has lt own reward, nn all Mifll
clent one, hut medal competition Is each
man for himself all tho time, whether
It hn IS or 36 or 72 holes. That has
always been the true and lartln; merit
of stroke play, and there are more than
a few nf us who do not relish tho blot
ting out of the pride which should bo
wholesome nnd true in thnw who as oitt
leaders nnd teachers we have been wont
to admire.
Parrs Way for Trouble.
Perhaps somo will wince at the state
ment that combinations in medal play
open up the way ror Miarp vnK'tlee.
. Yet such things, while not tn mv knowl
edse pr.irtii-ed, are easily possible. Iteuil
nvrr .lg.iln tho, quotation. Thero was
! given, mi one would Judge, the oiioi'-
tunlty of winch wo speak, and that 11
was not taken has nothing tn do with
our line of argument We are not iltei
cnslng any special case, but tho whole
silbsta nee.
It Is often the custom to havo the four
leaders and the iicm four low- scorers
play round toa-ether in the final elghtcrni
Imles of ,m open medil play competition
In order that the gallery cm sen with
a minimum of effort Just how the lead
fluctuates. It is true that golfers of
nearly equal calibre tcnm up, and It
might i-aslly be that paitucr wero In
the smo fou;- lull match with eacli
inun supposed to be playing his level
best for his personal honor nnd good
forttini'. In such Instances who can
deny that tho opportunities for h"lp in
club select ion, wind Judgment, Ac, rtrs
not present? Ia it fair, is It sportsman
like, Is It necessary to permit this con
dition? Tho reports this year of te-im pairs

The answer Is quite simple Prom
