Rainstorm Prevents Third Game With Yankees and
Series Still Is Deadloclccd Ban Johnson Boosts
Brazill and Says A's Will Climb Out of Cellar
By ROnERT V. MAXWKIA.
xrt Editor Evening I'ublle Lrdifr
New Yorlt, April 10.
NOTHING except a rainstorm and a sloppy plnlng Held prevented the
thrlllinfe bottle (or the American League cbnmplonulp of New York anil
Philadelphia .Testerdny, and this morning the series remains deadlocked at ono
and one, which is slang for even-Stephen. The Athletics were eager und
anxious to prolong their winning strtak, figuring they had tbo animals of the
Yankees.
While the rain was falling Jimmy Dykes and Joe Dugan went over the
baseball Mtuutlnn thoroughly and tenously. The) discussed matters at great
length and ut the end reached n couclusion.
"I ligger it this wa," observed Djkcs wisely. "Wo sock Hoyt and
Qulnn nil oer the lot uud we can't get May any more. Sbawkey has n
bum arm. and If we piny we get a rookie pitcher. Ticrcy wus on tho docket
and Hip Collin' uoxt Wc can beat those guys."
Joe Dugan nodded his bead slowly but distinctly. "You got the right
dope," ho observed "You ay we get rookie pitchers, and mo and you ugreo
on that That Yankee club ain't so tumli. Uet we lick 'em."
The postponement wus a bitter disappointment because it halted the
home tram right In the midst of a winning streak. Winning streaks in Phila
delphia consist of mie game, and on rare occasions two in a row. Never more
than two. Tbu the Mucks had a chance to tie the record.
Slim Harris o all dolled up for the occasion und ready to baflle and
bamboozle the foe. Slim is said to be a right smart pitcher this season und
wishes to demonstrate.
Thursday's uctory put a lot of pep Into the Athletics. Tbcy needed
something like that to revive their drooping spirits and make them forget the
past. Heating a gang of sluggers like New York is no cusj matter, for every
bitter is u dangerous one and you never run tell when somebody will bust
the ball out of the ptrk. The A's, however, turned the tables and did some
tall clouting thcmelvih. This made them look bitter.
JF TEE A's can absorb soma aggressiveness this season they trill
be a hard club to beat. At soon as tfie players realize they arc
better than any oiw belicre-s, a lot of ball games tcill be teon.
Frank Brazill Looks Like a Star Player
FRANK BRAZILL has helped tho Call club. Tbls ouug man Is u fighter
and is against the enemy at all times. Everything tbe other side does is
wrong, and he is not at all backward in telling them. He ulso keeps the
Infield' pepped up and puts a lot of life in the game.
Brazill is not in tho best of shape. His left hand is swollen and an ordi
nary player would be on the siflcllnes. He cannot olose the hand to take a
firm grip" on the bat, and that accounts for the absence of long hits. As soon
as the mauler recovers, watch tbat boy go!
TbeyVttll are ulking about his nervy play when he stole home on Thurs
day. Nobody knew anything about it except Brazill. Danny Murphy, who
was coaching" at third, was taken by surprise, as were the New York players
and Connie Mack. Connie almost fell off the bench when he saw his llrst
baseman streaking it for home, because stunts like that never are pulled by
the Athletics. The skinny leader passed away when Brazill was declared
safe. The surprise won too much.
Stealing homo is a great stunt if you can get away with it. It seldom
is tried these days, because the chances are about 100 to 1 in getting away
with it. Cobb used to put it over occasionally, but only occasionally.
So far as we know, Bobby Roth holds the record for swiping the rubber
in a single season. In 1017, when he was going good with the Cleveland club,
Roth stole fifty -one bases, and seven of these were the home plate. Seven in
a beason should be a record In any league. II swiped them off Groom, of
r!t. Louis. Clcotte and Russel, of the White Sox; Doc Ayrcs and Jim Shaw,
of Washington; Babe Ruth, of Boston, and Win Noyes, of tho Athletics. In
one game he swiped second, third and home. Not so bad for one game.
TfOBBY hopes to com bock strong this year and do some more base
O stealing. At present he s on the sidelines tcith an injured knee,
but icill be m the line-up before the end of next iccek.
Showing of A's Impresses Ban Johnson
RAN JOHNSON way In town yesterday and calkd at the hotel to 6peak
a few words to Connie Mack. The boss of the American League was
favorably impressed with this year's edition of the Athletics, and believes the
club will be up there fighting before the season is over.
"There is a big Improvement this year," be said. "This boy Rommel
is a great pitcher and Brazill is a good first baseman. It looks as if Connie
will be out of the cellar for good this year, for bis young players have de
veloped and have more confidence in themselves.
"The outfield bcenjs to be a trifle weak, but I guess it will be fixed up
before long.
"I was tery much taken with the new uniforms," he continued. "They
really are snapp and distinctive. Heretofore tbe Athletics wore dnll drab
suits which made then, look ordinary. Now, with tho blue caps with tbo
jockey visors and the blue and gray stockings It looks like a different team.
I never rcullzed what a difference new uniforms would make."
Johnson said he was busy collecting evidence against the Indicted Black
Sox who will come to trial in a month or so.
"When the prov rutin? attorney in Chicago is ready." said Ban, "the
trial will begin. In the meantime we are collecting all tbe evidence wc can
gt, and it would not h surprising to sec a couple of the players go over the
road. Gambling in baseball must be stopped, and thU is tbo wuy to do it."
JOliySOX slid the opening gamci in the Uigur icerc bio svemsc.
and prcdvts a bg year for the national game.
Barrett h Hurt and Bigbec Is Canned
THE first Injury of the year occurred Thursday when Barrett, the pitcher
infielder, turned his ankle in batting practice. He will be out for a week,
bot will not be missed, because be wouldn't have bi'en used In the games,
anyway.
It al&o was reported that Lylo Bigbe was going away from here. The
bard -working pitcher suffered an attack of blood poisoning down South and
tould not take advantage of the spring training. Connie has asked waivtra
on bim.
Bigbe joined the club last year after a successful season on tbe coast.
Hr is a right-bander and pitched some good games last year.
Chanry-Brnjamin Bout Attracts Yen? Yorkers

FOR SEA FISHERS
Catches in Pound Nets Show
Anglers Can Start Earlier
This Year
FLOUNDERS ARE PLENTIFUL
Hy V. E. MEEIIAN
Superintendent of the rolrmount Furk
Aquarium
Nothing definite can bo given yet con
cerning the results of the opening of
the trout season yesterday in this state,
as at the time this is written the dis
patches from tho different counties have
not begun to arrive.
Nevertheless indications are that a
large number of fishermen were out, and
it is reasonably certain good catches
were made. Nothing in the w earlier con
ditions throughout the week occurred
4'ltber tn put the streams in bad shape
or to cause the trout to cease feeding.
Memorial Day has come to lie looked
upon as tin- opening day for nearly an
kinds of sea fishing, although as a mat
ter of fact, in three jenrs out of four
there are some fish to be had u week or
two before that date. This vear, ac
cording to reliable reports, the season
will have a successful opening at least
two or three weeks earlier.
In the last two weeks many favorite
angling sea water fishes have found
their way into the pound nets, some in
considerable abundance Croakers have
been fnirl numerous, and summer
flounders nlnio,t as plentiful. There
have ulso been soa bnns. (.triped bass,
kingtisb and n few, very few, weak
tish. It has been observed tbat not more
tnan two or three weeks after tho sum
mer resort lishes are found In the pound
nets, they get down to the business of
trying conclusions with hook and line,
and so unless there are some violent
weather changes lasting for nbout a
fortnight, the big contingent of unglors
who prefer salt to fresh water fishing
can confidently start their regular pU
grimage.s to the shore cither on the 1st
or Mb of May, these two days being
Sunday.
Tailing tho Hooli
Already some of the fishes named
have taken the hook and been caught.
On Thursday of last week during the
heavy northeaster three croakers were
caught witli hook and line b one fish
erman on Young's 1'ier, Atlantic City,
and one was caught from the same
pier on Mondav. There is also a report
that a klngiish wus caught by an an
gler fishing from the Boardwalk between
Ventnor and Margato.
All the members of the croaker fam
ily, which includes tbe croukers, the
wenkfish the klngfish, the silver whit
ing (sometimes erroneously called
hake;, the spot or Cape May goodie, the
mademoiselle or sandtish, the black and
red drum, re all visitors, spending the
winter In Southern waters, and only
come north when the temperature be
comes too 1 igh for comfort.
Usually the first of the family to ap
pear is the kingfish. It is followed
closeh by the spot and croaker The
wcakfish is next and the two drums last.
Tbe porgie, which generally appears
e?rly In Juno, is also a visitor from
Southern waters, but the summer
flounder, the sea bass and its cousin, the
striped buss, are residents that go into
deeper water off the coast or bury
themselves in the sand or mud in the
bays. The tautog or slippery bass, a
New England sea fish transplanted to
tho New Jersey coast, may also now be
considered a resident, for it does not
depart in the autumn, but lies dormant
In deep water through the winter in
the locality where it spends the summer.
J, I". Proton's Catch
Under the circumstances, with the
weather conditions us they hnve been,
and the early appearance of several of
the members of the croaker family, the
announcement tbat summer flounders
nre now biting with somo freedom will
cause no surprise. More tban 100 arc
reported to have been taken from Cor
son's Inlet Townsend'a Inlet and Great
Bay within the last ten davs.
J. P. Tenton, a riuladelpbian, is said
to have tukm flurt-tne in one day.
It is true the report of Mr. Fcnton's
catch did not designate the species,
whether they uern both summer and
winter flounders or all the tirst named,
but some at least are known to have
been mimmfr flounders.
Winter floundeis have been biting for
some weeks an! will continue to do so
for three or fo'ir weeks raoro, when
most of them will seek comfort In the
coolest bottoms tnej run find and remain
there more or less quiescent until later
nt.tt autumn This Is because the win-t4-r
flounder is n northern species with
the NVw Jersey matt as the boutbern
lir.it of its range.
Then' is nne cilrious fuet concerning
tho members of th; lb under family. It
is that when the lutlo flounder first
emerges fr.m the egg, It swims upright
the same as any other fish. After It is
a few days old. however, It bi'Kins to
tilt 4jver on its -dde, to the right or to
the loft, according to the tribe to which
It belongs. The .summer flounder tilts
to the right, the winter to the lft.
While this is going on, the bones on
the top part of the head begin to twist
over to thi- side opposite to that In
which the fish is tilting, carrying with it
at the snme time un ee Flnall the
fish is resting on one sido and both
ews arc on the other side of the head.

Invitation Tourney
AROMMINK IN FINE SHAPE
By SANDY McNIBLICK
Tho Llanercb Country Club Is out
with its 1021 golf schedule today in
neat light-green pamphlet form, but its
intrinsic beauty will be lost on the cyo
of many local golfers, aside from tho
club members, when it is noted that
the dates for the Lloncrch invitation
tourney are conspicuous by their ab
sence. The rumor that there wouldn't be
any invitation tourney this year nt the
Llanercb Club is evidently confirmed by
the schedule, which contains no men

PROMOTERS SUFFER
BY COST OF BOXERS
High Purses of Mittmen Cause
Financial Losses in Stag
ing of Bouts
CLEVELAND MATCHES OFF
By LOUIS II. .IAFFE
Tho path of the promoter in these
days of high cost of boxers Isn't ulwnys
strewn with roses. Purses as demanded
by mittmen nt the present time lias
been making it a hard proposition for
tbe Impressorlo to increusc bis family
bank role, nnd it is probable that the
game will suffer unless the ringmen
permit their guarantees to bp reduced to
pre-war days.
Out iu Cleveland, O., early in the
week, a mutch between the bantam
champion, Joe Lynch, and Young
Montreal made the promoter dig for
moro thnn $3000. The gate for this
contest, virtually n championship bout,
hardly totaled ?4000, and it wus a big
financial blow to tho prumoter.
Tho fllvving of the Lvneh -Montreal
match has nffectcd boilng so iu Clove-
; land that the game is ulmost at a stand-
ki nnw. A inntli h4..,-n, iio..
Kramer, local southpaw, and Jack Kid
Wolfe, which was scheduled for April
21, has been cancelled, not postponed,
but called off entirely.
Local fans may not have known it,
but the special show at the National
here lut Monday night failed to draw
sufficient funds to cover expenses. And
that was one of the best progrums ar
ranged in Philadelphia tbis season.
Purses for the different boxers were so
big thnt it was necessary for the pro
moter to take in SS400 in order to break
even. Phil Glnssmnn found himself
I poorer uy .Miuii tne morning nfter the
night before.
I Thnt boxing can be termed a poor
I business proposition may be taken from
. uiese ntcis, nun is, citing only one
case : It tne national Hub bad been
i Knt, nm- int,t Mnnilm- nll,i i. .Vi
I Rc"a. ouc last .uonuay ntglit the total
receipts would have reacherl nhnnt
SO 100. In other words n speculation of
SSMOO was made in order to gain $1000.

A galaxy of knockout punchers arc

Hnln knoclioil out tho Thillles'
chances to break even with the New
iori Oiants. Yesteixlrir'R postpone
ment was a hnrrl blow to Will Done
yan h clan, who were determined to
r tP n ?n(1 takf n couple of falls out
ot John JlcGraw'R expensive employes.
I'm ihnt lR a" ofr no' ni'' tho Phils
will hare to concentrnte their efforts
on today's contest, the lost of which
wouirl mean a clean sweep for the
r.lants in the first series of the year,
lesterday's pamo will be played off
here in a double-header .Time 21.
It Is a peculiar fact that the Pliilllcs
always give the Giants the toughest
battle on their schedule regardless of
the stondlns of either club. For ex
ample, last year the Phillies were a
hopeless. last-place club, whllo the
Glantn were In tho running for the
pennant, an season, yet the Giants won
only twelve of tho twenty-two gnmes
played from Garry Crarath's players.
In other words, if the Giants hno
been able to stand up against the- Phil
lies as the final nrerages indlcnte ther
should hare, the Polo Grounds would
hare hod another pennant winner in
tbo Notional league.
Got Bad Start
Le Meadows got a bad start against
tho Giants in Thursday's game, so
Donoran will glre bim a chance to
come back this afternoon. Lee lasted
only a few minutes Thursdny. He
walked the first man up and the next
four batters got successlre hits. After
that he was tnken out. This afternoon
.Meadows is likely to go in and stand
the Giants on their ears: nt least Don
oran thinks that the odds point in thai
direction.
Outside of battery changes, the Phils
will go Into this aftcrnooc' game with
the same line-up that tney had on
opening day, Parkinson will bo nt
shortstop and the regulars will bo nt
their old stations. .New York, too, will
use the same scren men that started
the first game. It isn't certain whom
McGraw will start in the box, but the
chnnces are that Fred Toney, the big
right bander, will get the assignment.
Fred pitched the tenth and elcrcnth
innings on Wednesday, but that wasn't
enough work to keep him out of this
afternoon's game.
Beln at 3 P. M.
The game Is scheduled to begin at,
3 o'clock, the starting time for all
Saturday contests in local ball yards.
On Monday tho National League
champions, Brooklyn, arrive for a
three-game series. Thursday the Phil
lies quit the home lot for n jump to
New York, where they engage the
Giants in three games at the Polo
Grounds.
While these battles nre being stagea
under Coogan's Bluff, Connfo Mack will
five Philadelphia fans their first
glimpse of his rejurenated Athletics.
The Mackmen should draw big crowds
in their opening scries because the home
fans are anxious to see what is in
store for them nt Twenty-first nnd Le
high arcnue. Furthermore, the A'm
opponents will be the New York Yan
kees, who will haro their big adrer
tlsemcnt, Babe Ruth, to swell the gate
receipts.
BRAZZO STOPS BARRETT
Hazleton Lad Finishes Clifton
Heights Boxer In Sixth Round
Jack Brazzo, of Hazleton, weight 138
pound., stopped Bobby Burrett, of
Clifton Heights, weight 130 pounds, in
the s!th round of the wind-up at Cam
bria A. C. laht evening. In this ses
sion Brazzo landed a hard right on
Barrett's note nnd followed up with an
equally hard left on the chin, which
prored to be the punch thnt ended the
fracas.
Tho milling was of tho sensational
order while it lasted, first one taking
the lend nnd then the other, hut the
experience of the Hazleton man was a
big factor in his fuvor. In the semi
windup, Jimmy McGovern and Frnnkie
Smith battled eight hard rounds to an
even break.
The other results were: .Toe Augatls
knocked out Patsy Ilogan In the fifth.
Tommcy Golden hung the kayo on Bob
