SPORTS—NEW YORK STATE LEAGUE STARTS SEASON TODAY—HARRISBURG AT ELMIRA
KILBANE WINS
OVER CHAMPION
Outpoints Freddie Welsh in
Ten-Round Bout; Feather
weight Is Clever
New York. 2.—Johnny Kll
liane, featherweight champion of the
world, lost a golden opportunity to
add the lightweight title to his name
hero lust night in his bout with
Freddie Welsh. the lightweight
champion of the world, but the Cle
velander succeeded in defeating his
English opponent in ten rounds.
Kilbanc earned the advantage in a
majority of the rounds. lie was
handicapped considerably by Welsh's
superior weight. The Englishman,
who appeared to weigh about ten
pounds more than the featherweight
king, offended m the early rounds
liv .liiu-hing. Kiibane did most of the
leading. .Many of the punches were
delivered fast that they were
devoid of knockout force.
(ine hour before the principals for
the main bout entered tlie ring the
clubhouse was crowded. Standing
room was at u premium. The ante
for admission was raised to $5 for
points of vantage on the lower tloor.
'J'hc crowd was composed of the j
usual ring devotees. They were led !
by the president of National
League. John IC. Teiier, who chape- !
voned a number o? I'hiladelpfiians,
including William J. Uyan, Eugene
Kieffe, Harry 'l'. Donughy, B. Gal
lagher anil Harry B. Hoffman.
Patriotic Demonstration
An unusual patriotic demonstra- i
tion preceded the star attraction. 1
Mrs. George A. Whceloek, a recruit
of Mayor Mitchell's committee
known as the "Navy Pilot," was ush-j
ered into the ring accompanied by;
two sailors of the United States re-j
cruit ship Maine. She holds the j
American record for an individual of
having 105 enlistments in one day. |
Mrs. Whceloek did not wait for]
any referee. She started out and in
a most vehement manner said:
"You arc all fond of a tight. Now j
I am going to give you a change to!
take part in a real light. I want
every man from seventeen to thirty- j
five years of age to enlist at once.
The government needs you. If you I
don't come it will surely get you. It
is a moral obligation. And you must
surely yield. The Governor of New ]
York is opposed to boxing. I made
a personal appeal for its subsistence!
because it makes real men of men. i
The nation needs real men. Enlist :
now."
Mrs Wheclock, as well as the two j
jackies, was cheered to the echo.
Fight Unsatisfactory
The featherweight champion out
boxed his adversary but when he,
tried to land a hard blow to the face, j
he found the Englishman knew how j
to duck.
In every round but the first and |
fifth Kiibane proved lie was more!
clever than the lightweight cham
pion. In the other two rounds the
honors were even. Welsh, when Kil
bone tried to shoot in some hard
wallops, simply went into a clinch.;
And he stayed there until the danger I
point was passed.
The fight was very unsatisfactory I
to the crowd that packed the Casino
and they gave vent to their disap
proval in many boohs that greeted;
the fighters durin gtlie combat.
There was only nine pounds differ- j
•nee in the weight—Welsh weighing
139 and Kiibane ISO.
Neither man was sent to the floor !
during the fight and the only bruises
in the tame ten-round affair was a
•light cut on Welsh's mouth.

JOHN H. FARRELL
President New York State Biseball
League
'.'Play ball." that old familiar cry,
was heard on the J. H. Farrell cir- i
cuit to-day. It was the signal for I
the opening of the 1917 season.
Early reports indicated that all of
the teams would get a start, al
though the weather was rather cool
in New York state.. All teams play
to-day on the New York end of the
i circuit as follows:
Harrisburg at Elmira.
Reading at Binghamton.
Wilkes-Barre at Syracuse.
n t utica. ||
Some I>isu|>|M>iutmciits
Manager George Cockill and other!
leaders will use all available players ;
in the opening games, and perhajis j
for a week. With the exception of
the Syracuse stars and Jimmy Jack- j
son's Colonels, the teams have had
only ordinary practice. Pitchers are
not likely to show r any speed until j
there is a prolonged warm spell.
Harrisburg and Wilkes-Barre have j
been up against disappointments. !
Pitchers Yolz and Helfrich are not |
with the team, and two other twirl
ers under option with Manager'
Cockill have not shown up. Man- j
ager "Red" Calhoun has been han
dicapped in getting his players to re
port because of war conditions.
Other teams look good. Man
ager George Wiltse has a promising
line-up for Reading. "Chick" Hart- I
man reports a pennant winning ag- !
grcgation at Binghamton. Bill!
Coughlin says he will dope out his!
prosp<?cts later and Utica has a
bunch of fast boys. Mike O'Neill is |
only smiling, but the workout of his
team has developed another fast
bunch, and the Syracuse leader says
it will be the same old story.
Speed Is Expected
Speed will be the mania in the
New York State League this season.
New York, May 2—President Ban
Johnson, of the American League,
announced here yesterday after
noon that in case the war continued
until next spring there would be
no attempt to open the 1918 pen
nant season.
Manager Barrett Has
Contracts For Big Bout;
Levinsky Meets Houck
York, May 2. —While the task look
ed almost impossible, Joe Barrett, the
local boxing: promoter, has articles of
agreement showing that "Battling"
Levinsky, tne light heavyweight
champion of the world, and Leo
Houck, Lancaster's invincible mitt
artist, have signed for their bout on
Wednesday night. May 16. Owing to
the importance of the' bout Marrett
had Dan Morgan, Levinsky's mana
ger, and Charlie Reiker, representing
Houck, post a forfeit of $l5O each, for
the appearance of the principals.
When Barrett announced at the club's
last show that he had matched these
two cracks several of Houck's home
fans at the ringside doubted his abil
ity to bring the two together. While
Leo hos defeated every opponent ho
has met in his home town this sea-
GEORGE COCKILL
President and Manager Harrisburg
Every manager on the circuit work
ed hard for team efficiency through
the medium of speed, and while none
of the managers are overlooking any
good bets in the way of sluggers,
speed is the foundation on which the
clubs of this year will be built.
It is the general belief that the
speed cruze will greatly improve the
game in the State League. The game
is sure to be much faster this year
than it was last. Conditions are much
different, for where it was necessary
to take old i '*iyers last year in or
der to build the teams, it is possible
this season to get new and spe'edier
material, owing to the fact that the
over-supply of players in other lea
gues has placed a number of excel
lent men on the market.
There has been a desire on the
part of all managers to get as much
new material as possible, providing
that the players were of known
worth and not experiments. The
intields have been rebuilt and won
derfully strengthened.
Double Umpire System
The club owners decided on the
double umpire system. In seasons
past there has been much fault
found with the worn of the umpires.
Very often the double umpire sys
tem was used, but this was not the
general rule. With two arbiters on
the field the games were played fast
er, with less disturbance and with
greater satisfaction to the fans. By
employing regulars and a sub
stitute umpire the league has taken
a step to improve the game.
A determined erfort is to be put
forth this year to hurry the games
along. Last season there were fre
quent delays and long-drawn-out
games were not uncommon. Presi
dent John H. Farrell is to insist that
his umpires hurry all games along
and in this respect there is indica
tion of added speed to the game.
sono, none of them can be considered
in the champion's class, as Levinsky
out-slugged and out-boxed the lloos
ier bearcat. Jack Dillon, for the
world's title, on July 14, 1916, and,
furthermore, the battler has beaten
Dillon twice since then.
Twenty Casino Members
Roll Averages of 175
Twenty members of teams in the
Casino Bowling League, which closed
recently, finished the season with an
average of 175 points or beter per
game. The lowest average of the
season was 161 pins per game.
Barnes, of the Calumets team, led
the league throughout the season,
and finished on top with a grand av
erage of 194 pins per game. Basch,
of the Jolly Five team, was second,
with an average of 190 per game,
while Buttorff, of the Alphas, and
Boss, of the Orpheums, were tied for
third place with 18D pins each.

The very few who have had the chance to smash records in sport know
the terrific strain which conies just at the finish.
Chick Evans, Oswald Kirkby and Max Marston all have come to the
eighteenth hole at Baltusrol with a 4 left for the course record. The hole
is a drive and a pitch. Two of them got 6's and the other got a 5.
This is merely a sample of the odds against record-making. Rube Mar
fiuard won nineteen straight, tleing the pitching record, but lie blew apart
at the twentieth start.
That last punch #n the borderland of record-making has generally been
the one that cost.
No-Hit Psychology
This Is but a prelude to the psychology attached to pitching a no-hit
game in the major leagues.
We have always wondered how a pitcher felt as he was working his hit
less way along, once the fifth or sixth inning had been safely passed.
In order to get a line on this situation we decided to subpena George
Mogridge, the New York southpaw, who a few days ago cased the Champion
Red Sox down without a solitary blow. ,
"In the early stages of the game," said George, "I only knew that I was
cold and that I couldn't keep warmed up. So I spent all the spare time
1 had between innings trying to warm up and un,ravei the kinks.
"Now, there is a world of rivalry between the Ked Sox and the Yankees,
and my main idea, of course, was to win that, ball game. When the seventh
inning came they hadn't gotten a hit, but I hadn't realized it.- They had
scored in the last of the seventh, tieing the game up. It was not until the
lirst of the eighth I realized the fact that none of the enemy had tapped
me for a safe drive. And I never realized it then until Bill Donovaji came
up and said: 'lt would be a crime to lose this game, for they haven't even
gotten a blow off you yet.'
At tlie Finish
"Even then, pitching the last of the eighth, I didn't feel nervous or ex
cited or under any strain. It was not until the last of the ninth, with only
three men to get, that I suddenly realized I'd like to have at least one n.o
hit game in my kit—and especially a no-hit affair against the World
Champs. 1 still wasn't too nervous to speak, and it was not until two were
out that I got my shock. 1 had only one man to get, and he tapped an
easy one for an easy out. An error resulted, and, with such a tine chance
gone, it occurred to me then that the next man up was about due. It gen
erally happens that way. Leave an opening, and they nail you. Facing
this last man was the lirst nervousness I felt. 1 knew the side should have
been out, that he had no business up there, and that I ought to be on the
way to the clubhouse with my no-hit game sewed up. But this time the up
set didn't work out.
"If Donovan hadn't mentioned it in the eighth," remarked Mogridge, "I
don't believe I would have known I had a no-hitter until after the game.
If I had begun to figure on a no-hit game back in the fifth or sixth innings
I doubt very much whether I would have landed one."
Batting Pitchers
The old idea that a pitcher couldn't hit is being rapidlv dissolved. Ray
Caldwell is the main pinch hitter of the Yankees. Walter Johnson is the
leading pinch hitter of the Nationals.
But the premier bird of them is Babe Ruth, of the Red Sox. Ruth is
probably the best hitting pitcher that baseball has ever kn,own. George
Sisler started out as a pitcher, and he may have challenged Ruth's title, but
not even the Brownie star is as feared as the big left-hander on the Red
Sox staff. He is not only a consistent batsman, but he is as -likely to crack
one over the fence or up into the stands as any man. in baseball.
Last season Ruth had as many home runs as Tris Speaker or Joe Jack
son, two of the game's leading sluggers, who played in almost three times
as many contests.
"In attempting to carry the Grand Canyon," writes Enoch, "did Mr Van
Loan use a brassie or a mid-iron?" Neither. He employed a spared spoon.
"It's a wonder to me," writes another golfer, "that some of these mod
ern golf architects haven't picked up the Grand Canyon and moved it over
for a hazard to one of their courses. I'd as soon try to carry fifteen miles
across the Canyon as I would 195 yards across a swamp."

Dear Sir: Georgia may produce a variety of stars, but for a galaxy of

And we could add Fred Fulton if we needed another to yank us out in

Eilber Kills All Birds;
Paul Challenges For Cup
Fort Washington. May 2.—George
Eilber, of Philadelphia, held a field ]
day all of his own yesterday at the
weekly livcbird shoot at the Fortside j
Gun Club. He tied for high man in
the 15-bird sweepstakes race with j
"Davie" Paul and E. Hunt, both of j
Philadelphia, all three grassing fif- [
teen straight. He tied with the same |
two in a special 10-bird race and)
concluded his performance by win
ning a miss-and-out event with eight
straight kills.
The Held was small but classy. Of
the lirst 103 birds shot at 101 were |
killed. During the afternoon Eilber |
killed 33 straight and Paul and lluntj
each grassed 32. In the sweepstakes'
event Eilber, Paul and Hunt divided]
first money and "Ixxy" Hoffman j
"copped" second winnings.
The climax of yesterday's meeting!
was a feat of Fred Paulson, of Phila- j
delphia. There were two birds re-1
maining ami Fred volunteered to
kill a pair of doubles. With the gal- I
lery at his elbow, the veteran re- j
corded the kills on the fastest birds
of the afternoon.
It was announced that on Tues- |
day, May 15, "Davie" Paul will de
fend the State challenge cup against

this was between Chicago and St.

the .score of 9 to 0. Chicago opened
its heavy fire on the St. Louis pitch
ers and before the.smoke of con

were bombarded from the box. Doak
started and lasted until the fourth
frame, but weakened and was re
