THE FARMER: MARCH 20, 1913 IF IT'S NEWS IT'S HERE EDITED BY WAGNER THE SPOT FOR SP ORTS ATTELL DEFEATS KIRK WITH EASE VORrER CHAMPION COMES BACK BY SHOWING REAL SLUGGING ABILITY. Abe Attell made good last night in his first attempt to come back, the former featherweight champion stop ping OHie Kirk of St. Louis in the third round of a scheduled ten-round mill at the Forty-fourth Street Sport ing Club, New York. In that session .Abe floored Kirk for a short count, then pent the St. Louisian to the can vas for a count of nine, and followed that with a series of jabs, swings and hooks that placed Kirk oft the verge of a knockout, when Sam Kelly, the referee, came to the rescue and stop ped the bout. The feat of stopping an opponent in so short a time was an unusual one for Attell and caused much sur prise among the fans who packed the house. Even when Abe was at his best he usually earned the honors in his bouts by outpointing his oppo nent. . - To turn the trick in three sessions earned for the former cham pion rounds of applause and set the fans to thinking about Abe's abiliW. There were many in the club who Mid that Abe trained faithfully for last night's bout, as he knew that on the Outcome depended his return to the ring. The fact that ; Attell weighed only 122 pounds proved that he was in good trim for the bout. Last night was the second time that Attell and Kirk fought. Last Novem ber Kirk stopped Attell- in six rounds In the West, and caused Abe's tempor ary retirement from the ring. In their return match, last night Abe turned the tables on his rival in just half the time it took OHie to do the trick on Attell. Although Abe almost succeeded in pulling the haymaker across, he showed that he lacks much of the cleverness that he once possessed. He missed many blows in the second and third sessions, and could not get out of range of his opponent's jabs and swings. In the second session Kirk connected with seven straight lefts to the face at the start of the round be fore Abe landed one blow. In the third pession. just before Abe landed the left ewlng that proved the beginning of Ol Jie's undoing. Kirk delivered eight snappy punches in succession to the former champion's face with only one return. - . , STRUNX OF ATHLETICS THROWS HIS ARM CUT Connie Mack Fears Star Outfielder is Through in Big League. , Memphis, Tenn., March '20 While the Athletics have had a spectacular end successful trip in almost every respect, there is one thing that is worrying Connie Mack more than anything else, and that is the condi tion of Amos Strunk, the fleet-floated outfielder, upon whom so much depended this season. Unless all signs fail,. Strunk has thrown his arm out, and this valuable man will be of little use except as a utility man or pinch hitter for the rest of his days in the big leagues end as Mack has plenty of them his days appeared to be numbered if the diagnosis of his condition is correct. Ir. Chadwick examined him and the mueelee were found to be badly twist ed, but all the massaging and the Ironing that has been done have fal.ed to give him the use of the arm again. The musclee have straightened out, but Strunk's 'southpaw, that was one of the best in the league, is as dead as though he had paralysis. UMPIRE BILLY EVANS 1 j IS PHYSICAL MARVEL Umpire Evans, in addition to being able -to run: a- game to the satisfac tion 'of Caar" Ban Johnson, has been found to be the "perfect physical man." That Evans "will scrap" was set tled to the satisfaction of baseball rowdies in Cleveland three years ago. Years as a footbaJl player, with the finishing touch at Cornell, proved he had a splendid constitution; and that he knows how to "use his mitts." Evans has shown his mettle , by his boxing matches with Featherweight Champion - Johnny Kilbane, with whom he boxes almost daily in tie . -winter. Now Evans is pronounced physically perfect by a man who has searched for years for the ideal man.. Here is what J. F. Stapleton, physical director of the Cleveland Athletic club, has to Bay concerning Evans; " By J. F. STAPLETON, Physical Director Cleveland Athletic Club. By the study of the measurements of several thousand men representing the "American type" and a thorough research into the methods used by the Greeks and Ttomans in ascertaining the measurements of the ideal human body, I decided, five years ago, on a scale of measurements which would make the ideal man. While the proportions were mathe matically perfect I never hoped to see the living ideal. But W. G. Evans, American League umpire, conforms to that ideal in perfect proportions. Evans is normal and perfectly pro portioned. Take note of his arm measurements. The wrist measures seven Inches, forearm eleven and bi ceps fifteen, a difference of four in ches In each case. There is the same consistent difference in the leg mus cles. His ankle measures eight in ches, calf fifteen and thigh twenty- itwo, a difference of seven inches be tween each measurement. Again, the waist measures thirty- two inches, the ninth rib thirty-six and the chest, normal, forty inches. Here we find the same consistent pro gression. Evans is a man of great strength and wonderful endurance, and while he doesn't aspire to become a profes sional boxer, he is- an expert with the gloves. LYFOED BROS.

Bob by Byrne, the Pittsburgh Pirates' third baseman, was Jiit full force above the left temple by one of the fast balls of "Smoky Joe" Wood, the Red Sox speed king, yesterday afternoon at Whittington Park. Last night the Pittsburgh player was in a serious condition at the Hotel Eastman, where he was carried after the acci dent. The surgeon attending Byrne said that it could not be determined whether the Pirates infielder's skull was fractured until a huge swelling subsides. The accident occurred in the third inning of, yesterday's game, which Boston won, 7 to 2. It was the first appearance in the box this season of the champion pitcher of the American league. He seemed to have almost KETCHEL'S MANAGER CONFIDENT OF VICTORY Sporting 'Editor of The Farmer: The boxing fans of New Haven are at last to see in action Al Ketchel, the .Yankee boy of Bridgeport, and against a fighter who will test his mettle and prove his calibre. One Round Hogan's record of sensational fights may influence many in the be lief that he will whip Ketchel decisive ly. I am quite confident that it will be the reverse and that when they meet at the Natlona A. C on March 31 you will not only see a great con test but the Connecticut boy returned the winner. Ben Murphy, who has trained Wil lie Lewis, Jack Denning, Joe Jean nette and Jack Britten, will have charge c" Ketchel's training for the contest with Hogan. Murphy will take charge of Ketchel immediately and they will train for' the bout at Capt.' Bond's quartets irfc Stratford. Tours sincerely, DAN1 McKBTRIOK. DUKE OF WESTMINSTER IS GREAT SPORTSMAN The. puke of .Westminster, who ceY ebrated his thirty-fourth birthday yes terday, is the financial "angel" for the British Polo team which, a few months hence, will attempt the con quest of the international cup from the blarsted Yankees. With the pos sible exceptions of Lord Lonsdale and the late Marquis of Queensberry,' the British peerage has produced no more enthusiastic and gamer sportsman than the Duke of Westminster. In the matter of the needful the Duke has "nothing but," and he is always willing to back his judgment. His luck is proverbial in English sporting circles, and not long ago he even performed the feat of getting away from Monte Carlo with more money than he had on his arrival. Polo is his favorite sport, but he is also a patron of the turf and the owner of a big stable of thoroughbreds. He is also very fond of motorboating, and a couple of years ago offered to lay $100,000 that his Pioneer would beat out the American Dixie IV. for the British International Trophy. He found nobody willing to venture so large a sum, and so saved his hundred, thousand, for the Dixie showed her heels to the Pioneer. The Duke also yachts, shoots and golfs. He is ex pected to visit America to witness the international polo match,, on which he is spending so much money to bring about a British victory, and may make a hunting trip through the western States and Provinces. Fishing waters and hunting grounds of the United States and Canada will be cleverly exploited in the Travel and Vacation Show which opens to-day at Grand Central Palace in New York. The Highlands of Ontario, Algonquin national park. Glacier national park, the Temagami region, Rideau river and lakes and" Thousand Islands are among the sections that will seek to attract the attention of riimrods and anglers by means of panoramic views, scenic reproductions, exhibits and "lit erature."

The ball that hit Byrne shot thirty feet into the air after it caromed off the little player's head with a resounding crash. The Pirates had two other players on the sick list, McCarty, who took Byrne's place, was spiked by Tris Speaker and Butler, the second base man is suffering from a severe fever. The Pirates made two hits-one of them a scratch and no runs in the four innings Wood pitched. Hall suc ceeded Wood and was hit three times for two., runs, one of them being a home run, over right field fence. Hall also hit a four bagger in the same place in the sixth inning, with two men on bases. The Sox hit Robinson four times for two runs in four innings and piled up five runs off Cooper in a batting bee in the sixth. ... JACK COLLINS, OLD SPRINGFIELD PLAYER, STARS WITH CHICAGO Jack Collins, formerly of Springfield gets this from Malcolm Maclean, one of the baseball writers with the Chi cago White Sox who has this to say: "It has been some time since a great trio of outfielders has participated for the Sox. There always has been at least one man not in the stellar class. But things may be different this, com ing season. "Johnston in left, Mattick in center and Collins in right. Gentlemen, this is a wonderfully fast outfield. It is composed of stars. Just size 'em up for a moment and then gloat to your heart's content. Collins is of the clean-up hitting ability, of tremendous speed, undoubted ability as a fielder and thrower 'and a magnificent base rUtuMtecs as :!:?. -r-.-at! tf'i w r . "The writer is going to digress for a moment and talk more at length re garding Collins. "Here is a man whose shoulder de velopment is like Heine Zimmerman's. What more could you claim for any ball player? The speed possibilities in this man are unlimited. We doubt if he's quite as fast as Jimmy John ston, but there's no reason why he shouldn't steal fully as many, bases. "To date Shano hasn't let himself out to his fullest capacity. His ' pos sibilities are latent. - One of his mates says if he should once let himself out for a year he'd make Ty Cobb look like a selling plater on the bases. He is like the mountain lion of the Paso Robles territory. "This fierce animal is stronger than most beasts of the west, has beautiful lines and muscles. But he doesn't seem -to realize his own powers. A little fox terrier can stand him at bay and keep - him there while the humble human hunter dispatches him with a bullet. "So, as our vold friend Virgil said, is Shano Collins. This is no reflection on this grand ball player. Merely a statement of conditions as we see them. This season we believe Collins will extend himself. He is going to start out at right field without hav ing any worry of a possible berth at first base. He is contented, and probably will get off to a good start and hold the pace." DAVE RYAN HAS HOPES OF BEATING KID LEWIS IN BOUT Davy Ryan, the fast local middle weight who is now the boss of a big blacksmith shop owned by. himself in New Haven, visited in town last night, and after greeting a few of his old friends slid for home and the haypile. Davy says that he feels -confident of his being able to put a big dent in the career of Kid Lewis, the swift" Water bury boy, whom he is to meet in the- ten-round semi-final to the McAuliffe-Lewis bout which is to feature the all-star card the .corn Athletic club is to present at the Park City rink on the night of March 27. Local fight fans are well acquaint ed witb the merit of the other attrac tions on the card, which are as fol lows: Joe Walcott, Bridgeport, vs. Battling Larry Ryan, New York,' 8 rounds, 143 pounds and Kid Allen, Bridgeport, vs. Jackie Rollinson, Der by, 6 rounds, 125 pounds.

Dpp. Howland's Shoe Repairing THORPE HITTING THAT BALL AGAIN INDIAN MAKES TWO SINGLES AND TRIPLE AGAINST TEXAS LEAGUERS. Waco, Texas, March 20 Eleven Giants were detached from the Mar lin squad yesterday morning entrust ed to the chaperonage of Wilbert Rob inson and brought over here for a fling at the Waco Texas Leaguers. They acquitted themselves with all honor, not to mention neatness and despatch, lowering the Waco colore by a score of 13 to 1. Jost, a tall spitball pitcher of con siderable repute, faced the -Giants for five innings and mowed them down swiftly for one inning. After that he became unsteady and that, with his wildness. New York hits and the un bridled capacity of the "Waco folks to make errors, the only question was as to the size of the score. The Giants played with snap and spirit and gave a nice display. There was one thing they didn't thrive at," however, and that was base running. The Waco catcher threw well and New York attempts to accomplish a double steal were thwarted. Wiltse and Crandall had the enemy on- the jump nearly all the time. They twirl ed with steady effectiveness and kept the hostile bingles scattered. Fletcher illumined the battle with the highest quality of his work. His hitting was strong and he fielded in fine style. He picked up all sorts of ground balls and Jim Thorpe, playing first base, dug up two of Fletcher's low throws, a la Hal Chase. "Drags-His-Ropa" gave a good account of himself even though his propensity for fishing for bad balls did cause him to fan twice. ' He , atoned for these whiffs by punching out two sin gles and a triple. He looked much better at first base than he has look ed in the outfield of late, and as he got on the bases three times, he' had a chance to show his exceptional speed on circling around the- paths. IN MAJOR LEAGUES Pitcher Martin Walsh, a brother of the famous Ed, has been signed by the Utiea club. Eight Rochester players refuse to sign at the terms offered. George Simmons, the former New Haven in fielder, is one of them. "Reggie" Brown is doing so well in practice with the Athletics that he will be .given a regular plaice on the pitch ing staff this season. Manager Chance nW practically de cided upon his outfield. He has pick ed Wolter, Cree, Daniels and Lelivelt to look after the outer gardens. The veteran Theodore Breitenstein will umpire in the Southern league this year. Catcher Ira Thomas of the Athletics says George Moriarty is. a trickier base runner than Cobb and the hardest man in the game to catch on a steal of second. Hans Lobert, whose knee, fractured last summer, is sound again, is one of the busiest men in the Phillies' camp. When he is not working un der Doom's eye he passes the time batting long flies to a big and enthu siastic negro he has hired at $1 a day. Baldemero Acosta, the young 'Cuban with the Senators, is being rated as a mixture of Willie Keeler and ' Jesse Burkett when it comes to bunting. Griffith is practically certain to re tain him for outfield emergency use. Eddie Murphy, Oldring and Strunk are playing the outfield for the Ath letics in practice. This combination is expected to start the season. Con nie Mack continues to enthuse over Third Baseman Orr, who is doing some fine fielding. George Mullin, on the bonus basis this year as an inducement to keep in condition and do his best to win games, already has been picked for the honor of pitching the opening game in St. Louis. He is In better condition right now than any of the young folks, who are supposed to round to quickly, and has the advan tage of experience. ' Catcher Miller was drafted from Scottdale by the Cincinnati club' in 1907, and subsequently went through the unique experience of being made a draft subject on five different oc casions without once reporting until he went to the Pirate training camp in Hot Springs. - BRIDGEPORT GIRLS TO PLAY NEW HAVEN MAIDS The Bridgeport Girls basketbal? team are to give a dance Friday, March 2 8 at Brooklawn Rink, and as a special attraction there will be a game between the Bridgeport and New Haven Girls for the state cham pionship, as the series now stands one to one. This is the first dance to be held in this city by a girls" team.

United States Athletes New York, March 20 The interna tional aspect in sports spreading with each successive year is unusually dominant in the tentative arrange ments of the big sporting events for the summer. The program, now near ly completed, calls for international contests in which Americans will par ticipate in about a dozen branches of sport. The list rangers .from chess to yachting. As friendly invaders of the American sporting arena, Chinese baseball players are coming from the Orient, cricket players and tennis ex perts from almost as far off as Aus tralia, golf champions and polo chal lengers from England, yachtsmen from Germany, athletes . from Cam bridge and Oxford universities and automobilists and aviators v. from France as well as the usual influx of foreign competitors in minor lines of sports. Dates for most of the summer's, sporting features, both at home and abroad, have now been set and from a summary of those available here it is evident the sport loving public is to have an unusual variety of events to follow. In yachting the- Germans renew the "sonder" or special class , races with the Americans, paying . a visit of nearly three weeks to these shores in August. The races, will be held as usual off Marblehead, Mass., the trials being set from ' Aug. 16 to 26 and the finals beginning Sept. 7. The golfing season will see the first team match between- American and French golfers near. Paris in the latter part of June, following the British open tournament in which a number of Amerieans will also participate at Moylake, June 19. to 24. The national championships have been arranged for Brookline, Mass., (open), and for Garden City, L. I., (amateur), the lat M'CARTY SORRY HE MISSED WELLS '.-: .'.- I---. LUTHER: CAN'T - GET OVER HOW - hi; passed - up easy s - MONEY. ' New York, March 20. "It wasn't cowardice but simply a mistake in judgment that prompted our refusal of $10,000 for a bout with Bombar dier Wells," said William McCarney, who manages the affairs of Luther Mc Carty, as he discussed yesterday Gun boat Smith's speedy' victory over the British champion in the Garden last Friday night. "McCarty wanted to fight Wells, but I wouldn't let him. I saw a chance to gather more than $2, 000 a ,week on the road and I wasn't quite sure thajt McCarty could out point Wells in 10 rounds, with the de cision left to the newspapers. You know that Jess Willard was called a winner over McCarty in 10 rounds last summer by some of the sport writers when as a matter of fact Willard didn't make a single lead in the whole fight. "I would have signed the articles for a 20-round fight with Wells in Calif ornia, though, if the Englishman had been willing, but that is out of the question now. I am sure that I greatly overrated Wells and am sorry that McCarty didn't enjoy the melon cutting instead of Smith. Yes, we will fight the Gunboat. He isn't a world beater, however, for the fact that Frank Moran, a third rater, stayed 20 rounds with him shows how Smith can be rated. But as long as he has stopped Wells McCarty will accom modate him, but not in a 10-round bout. We can get' the biggest money on the coast." A, B. GARRETSON ACTS FOR R. R.

Meets will be held at Mea dowbrook, L. I. National champion ships will be decided at Narragansett Pier in August. - One event much anticipated among college athletes will be the visit of the Oxford-Cambridge athletic team to America, probably in' the latter part of June, for a meeting with the Harvard-Yale team. The unusual in tercollegiate championships have been set for May 30-31 at Boston and the Pennsylvania relay carnival for Phil adelphia, April 26, with an unusually large number of dual track and field meetings among the college teams. Rowing has no international aspect unless it may be the appearance of Canadian oarsmen in some events in this country. The , national regatta for Amateurs will be held at Boston, Aug. 8 and 9, and the American Hen ley at Philadelphia probably May 31. The intercollegiate regatta at Pough keepsie June 21 and Harvard-Yale at New London June 20; An intercollegiate cable chess match has been arranged for April 12 when players from Cambridge and Oxford universities will match wits with a team yet to be chosen.

Manager McCann of the Bridgeport baseball club announced this morning that he has traded Pitcher Johnny Barron to Lowell, Mass., ' for Pitcher Blum. McCann thinks Barron will make a capable twirler but believes, he will lo better outside of his home town. Blum did not have a very good record last season. Frank Con naughton, , the ' old Waterbury, man ager, who now manages the New Bed ford' team, gave McCann a tip that Blum would prove a star. Barron won five and lost two in 1912. Second Baseman R. H. Bowman writes the Bridgeport management from his home . in. Falfurrias, Texas, to say that he will report on April 7. He is employed by a dairy company and seems to be quite a highbrow for he writes all his letters on a type writer. ' Roy Rock, a former Providence shortstop, has been signed by New London. Rock was a great infielder in his day but was forced out of the International League by injuries. Owner George Cameron of -the New Haven club is trying to get a pitcher, outfielder and infielder from the Washington Americans. In Paris, last night,- Willie Lewis, the American middleweight, won from Marcel Morceau on points. There were several college baseball games played yesterday.

YANKEES GIVEN COATOFWHITEVASH RUSSELL FORD KNOCKED OVT OF BOX BY JERSEY CITY HITTERS. Hamilton, Bermuda, March 20. The inaugural battle of the Highland er .Regulars under the Chance regime was not what might be called a bloom ing success. The Jersey City Skeetera were not content with stinging the Kilties with just a plain defeat, but they added insult and injury by dip ping the startled Hillmen into the whitewash pail. The score of 4 to 0 tells the tale of the first fling of the Highland Regulars against a real op ponent. Russell Ford and Jack Warhop flip ped for the tribe of Chance, and th'. prize spitballer of the Highland corral bore the brunt of the Manhattan de feat. Russ yielded all four runs scor ed by the Jerseys,' and the Bkeeters stung him real hard in the fourth. Roy Hartzell started Kord'e down fall in this frame with a boot, and three consecutive hits put. Russ to rout. Tiny Jack Warhop relieved Rus sell in the fifth, and the midget suc ceeded in holding the enemy safe un til the finish. However, the pauedo Indian was in several dangerous predicaments, and it took a remarkable catch by Count Ezra Midkift to rescue "Hops" in the sixth. With the sacks jammed in this frame, a fly was hoisted to short left. It was impossible for Cree to get it, but Midkiff, who played short, backed out for it and clutched the bulb a few feet above Mother Earth by a scin tillating endeavor. The New York infield lined up with Chance on first. Young on second, Midkift at short and Hartzell on third. Chance played hia old reliable game at first, and accepted everything that cam'e his way. The two Jersey pitchers Mains and Doescher both performed brilliantly, particularly the latters. Mains was wild, but the Highlander refused to be patient and wait him out. Southpaw Doescher, th former Brooklyn pitcher, did splendid work in the box for the International Leaguers. Doescher always baa been a great spring pitcher, and the Highlanders could do next to nothing with hia southpaw benders. Doescher cut loose in midseason form, and made no effort to save his arm.
