WILL " PIRATES
SPRINT AWAY
TO 1914 FLAG?
Will the season of 1914 be repeti
ito nof 1909 in 'baseball history? In
1909 Frank. Chance's Cubs, winners of
the National League pennants of 1906,
1907 and 1908, were carded to win
their fourth straight 'banner. BJid break
a hoodoo, which has ruled the parent
organization since its inception iW
1S76. aa as its younger rival, the
American EWe.'.' --.i '-.-'
But did Chance break it? ' No. He
fell a victim to the hoodoo, which had
previously teaffled Cap. Anson, Ned
Hanlon, Frank Selee and Fred Clarke.
It was the Pittsburgh Pirates of 1909
which broke Chance's streak. They
bobbed up Just one year, and won a
world's pennant and then fell by the
wayside again ' ' ' ,
In the spring of -3 0-it looked al
most certain that the Cubs would re
peat, especially after their easy vic
tory in the 1998 World's series.
However, the Pirates jumped in
front early in 1909, and were never
headed. The Cube had several chances
to cut down the lead early In the sea
son, but they never "took advantage
of their opportunities. All along- peo
ple said: "Wait till the Cubs get
(Started. They will catch Pittsburgh on
the final stretch." - ' ,
They never did. By mid-August It
tKcame almost a certainty that the
Pirates would never be headed and
early in September they hfe.d their
r.ac practically clinched.' Their per
centage was .724, one of the greatest
ever, made 'in the National League,
and they beat the Cubs by 6 4 points.
Almost the same situation prevails
in the National league today as, in
the spring of 1900. Only this time it
is the Giants, flaff winners of 1911, 1912
and 19 IS, who are shootine for their
fourth Hag and trying- to cut down -an
paj-ly lead which the' Pirates have
hung op: Will history repeat itself?

The games In the Park City league

sion of chills, thrills,; clouts, boots
and a source of trouble to the umpire
and scorer.' - - '
. St. Patricks chalked up a 4-8 vic
tory iver 'the , Wopdside; winning . the
game by good base running and timely
hits. ' Brooksides put the St. Mary
team away, 7-3, the game being' very
clean. East Bridgeport came from un
der In the sixth -inning 'and' nosed out
a victory over the Brooklawns, win
ning 6-2. The Western Park City
game reminded one more of the Mexi
can war -than a ; baseball game,
every member of the team being rung
in the pitch. After the smoke cleared
away and Westerns were all in from
their twenty-five Jogs around the
paths, aa well as knocking the ball , in

ONE OF BRIDGEPORT CLUB'S
: TVIRLERS TO BE RELEASED
Pres. Tener Admits National League
Is Hurt In Chicago By Feds
(By Wagner.)
The Bridgeport : club showed a big
improvement.' last week. By the pur
chase of Bns the'team seoured an ex
perienced first . baseman', who also
seems to be quite a hitter. Sherman,
Gervais and Tuokey also displayed
good pitching form during the week
and each turned In 'a, victory." By
winning from Hartford, New Ham
and FlHsfield and loein two to New
Xiondoji, the local made a. slight gain..
Second Baasman Hichards has been
criticised .by . some of the fans for1 be.
ing slow in handling the ball, but . the
youngster is laboring under, the han-,
dicap of a bruised thumb, which is
swollen to twice its natural " size. He
cannot hold . a bat . firmly and finds,
difficulty In fielding grounders. - . y
When Bed Waller gets a chance to'
demonstrate - hla - ability, -Manager,
Boultes will know where he stands on
his twirling. If Waller is able to win
games, one of the present force will
be dropped. Tomorrow George . Browne,
will bring his New.; Britain, club, to
Newfield park. .Chief Snyder .-or .Wal
ler will probably work for Bridgeport.
There were over 2,000. at the . game
in Waterbury ' yesterday : .when - the

FRESEfiTS 01 BOXERS
, American women have not taken to
the boxing game as a sport to the ex
tent that their French sisters have, al-,
though , in some- of the larger cities
in the United States quite a number of
women', attend the :. boxing contests
when -held at the best clubs. In Paris,
hjpwever, it is a-common occurrence
to see hundreds of women at the box
ing . contests decked , out as if they
were going to attend grand opera. An
other thing that is rather amusing in
the Frefich capitol is, the fact that
whenever one boxer, appears at a dis
advantage inpolnt of size, he- is sure
to, have the sympathy of the entire
female crowd and it Is not uncommon
for : a plucky little loser , to receive a
handsome present from some lady ad
mirer. ( J : .
.' This- has occurred frequently-after
boxing contests in Paris and the fight
er has hot even , had ; the pleasure of
knowing from whom came the gift.
At the recent contest between Georges
Carpentier , and Joe Jeanette in Paris
there were nearly a thousand women,
present, and after the1 contest, al
though the Frenchman lost, he. Was
showered with presents of all -kinds,
also the recipient of sympathetic let
ters the day following. , It is possible
that- in the future American women
may, take more to the boxing game,
but at the present time they are far
behind their French sisters as regards
enthusiasm. , -

YACHT DEFIANCE
LAUNCHED TODAY
Bath." Me.. : May 11 The Defiance,
second of the three America's cup de
fense candidates- to plunge into the
sea., . was favored with weather condi
tions for -her launching today as pleas
ant as those which, attended the en
trance into the water of the yacht
Resolute on April 26. . Two o'clock
this afternoon was ,the hour set for
the Defiance, built for the so-called
tri-citv syndicate of New Tork, Phila
delphia and Boston yachtsmen to
slide down the ways at . Bath Iron
Works. v
The difficulty surrounding the chris
tening ceremony which arose when It
wnn announced some time ago that
the sloop would be launched bow first
was1 solved by' the determination "of
Miss , Frances Clark to stand on the
deck .and smash the'bottle of wine on
the bow as the boat 'took the water.
Miss Clark is a daughter of EJ. Walter
Clark, of Philadelphia, treasurer of the
syndicate. .,.,..-
Besides George M. Pincheon,' of New
Tork, managing director and other
members of- the syndicate, Governor
Haines and the mayors of several
Maine cities had accepted- invitations
to be present. :

It may even make the heart glow, as
sayeth yie popular lyric sung to the
air of "Too Much Mustard," but
"Pooch" Donovan has issued an edict
against it, and Harvard athletes will
have to forego their favorite dance if
they want to keep their places on the
team. '-. ,
Donovan is certain that the. tango
does not tend to make outdoor ath
letes.-. He made no comment on it aa
