NEWS OF THE SPORTING WORLD
TBE BROWNS MY GET BAKER
Connie Mack Said to Favor Deal If
Home-Sun King Holds
Out
Philadelphia. March IS.—lt has
leaked out that Robert Lee Hedges, of
the St. Louis Browns, has made a di- !
rect offer to Connie Mack, of the Ath
letics, for the release of "Home Run"
Baker and that Mack has promised to
wake the deal if Baker refuses to play
fcall again with the former world's
champions, says the New York "Even
ing Sun." This information will sur
prise the owners of the Yankees. Jacob
ißuppert, Jr., and Captain T. L Huston,
who stand ready to pay $25,000 in
rash for Baker and will sign him at a j
salary of SIO,OOO a year, W. N.;
Fleischmann, Colonel Ruppert's repre
sentative, was in Chicago yesterday, j
He went there for the purpose of put- I
ting the Baker matter before President
Ban Johnson, of the American League.:
It was Fleischmann's plan to ask John-1
eon to use his influence with Mack, so j
that the latter would agree to accept
the Yankees' liberal proposition. Col- i
enel Ruppert, who is at French Lick
Springs, proibablv will hear from!
Fleischmann to day.
Captain Huston talked with Mack in
Jacksonville two weeks ago. It is
known that the mauager of the Ath
letics refused to consider any proposi
tion for the transfer of Baker's serv
ices to the New York Americans. Cap
tain Huston therefore returned to Sa
tvannah empty-handed and a trifle dis
couraged. Colonel Hedges subsequently
sent a personal friend to Mack with an
offer of cash and the release of Third 1
Baseman Jimmy Austin. While Mack
■was not in a position to make a definite '
reply, it is reported that he assured Col
enel Hedges, through the latter's emis
sary, that if Baker refused to return
to the Athletics he would be handled j
over to the Browns.
It is hard to believe that Colonel
Hedges is willing to pay the price of
fered by Messrs. Ruppert and Huston
for Baker. The St. Louis magnate lias i
never bought star ball players for big;
money. But it is known that he be-1
lieves the addition of Baker would j
make his hall team a dangerous factor '
in the race for the pennant. The Yank
ees, however, need Baker more than
the Browns. The sale of the Home
Run King to Messrs. Ruppert and
Huston would benetit the entire Amer
ican League from a business point of
view. If Baker is sent to the Browns,
therefore New York baseball fans can
not blame the local American League
magnates. Perhaps there is some ill
feeling under the surface, but President
Johnson probably will try to smooth
the troubled! waters.
will relieve your indigestion. Many
people in this town have used them
and we have yet to hear of a case
where they have failed. We know

CAN'T LAST A ROUND
Robideau Easy Target for White—;
Clabby Outpoints Ahearn
j Philadelphia. March 18.—Charlie i
I White, of Chicago, required less than '
I a full round to dispose of the ix-tar.
(Sam Robideau, in the final bout of the
all-star boxing card at the National A. !
iC. last night. Robideau was sent to the
canvas three times and could not arise !
| at the count of "ten" after the last,
trip.
In the semi-final Jimmy Clabby. mid-j
dleweight title claimant, earned an ;
i easy verdict over Young Ahearn, an-1
other heir presumptive to the crown.,
Clabby earned Ahearn's deep respect j
.just after the first bell with a right]
hand cloud to the jaw. Thereafter it \
was a tame affair, with ClatUby doing j
much the better boxing on both of-'
! fense and defense.
Jimmy Fox substituted for Eddie
j Morgan, who was ill, in the feather
< weight bout against George Chaney,
> which was third on the bill. Fox laid
: all over Chaney in cleverness, but the
; latter battered* him down with bodv
blows in the fourth period and Fox's
seconds tossed up the sponge earlv in
: the tight.
Jack 'MvCarron came back with a
rush afier being knocked down by Sol
dier BartfieU in the first round of the
opening six session bout. It was furious j
j milling all the way and iMcCarron won

New York. March 18. —The New I
: York state boxing commission yester
day ordered the ten-round bout be
jtween Young Ahearn and Eddie Mc-
Gorty, scheduled for Friday night at a
j local boxing club, canceled. The ac
tion was taken as the result of a pre

KILBANE DEFENDS TITLE
Kid Williams the Aggressor in Star.
Boxing Bout
Philadelphia, March 18. —The much
j advertised SII,OOO six-round bout be
tween Featherweight Champion Johnny
Kilbane and Bantamweight Champion ]
j Kid Williams at the feather limit, 12-2
i rounds, ringside, was waged at the
I Olympia A. C. last night. There were,
no fatalities aud the only thing dam- '
aged was the pocketbook of Promoter
| Harry Edwards, who gave the excessive'
] guarantee.
On a strict hairline ruling one might ■
! have proclaimed Williams the winner, |
! as he was the aggressor most of the j
. way. This was anticipated, as Williams I
I had all to win and Kilbane nothing j
much to lose unless he suffered a knock
j out. That he was too good a business '
man to take such a long chance ac-!
counted largely for the excellent show
ing of the bantam, who brought the
claret from KLoane's mouth in the
third and opened up a cut over the eye
in the sixth.
Kittbane contented himself largely
with well placed jabs and occasional!
slugging periods interspersed with con- I
siderafble scientific clinching.

ANNUAL PtANTS FOR THE
NEWLY-GRADED GROUNDS
Those In a Short Time May Do Much
to Take the Place of Tree and
Shrubbery Effects Which Are the
Work of Years
Washington, D. C., March 18.—A
few well-chosen annual plants placed
ou newlv-graded grounds will do much
to take the place of trees and shrubs
until the latter may hare time to grow,
according to the U. S. Department of
Agriculture's specialist. It is often a
question in a new community where
slow-growing vegetation has not had an
opportunity, as to what may be done to
make grounds seem less 'bare. A lawn
can 'be made in a few weeks and its
appearance may be greatly increased by
the addition of a few well-chosen an
nuals.
The specialist suggests as particular
ly suited for this purpose the follow
ing plants, which may be grown in most
parts of the United States.
Tall foliage plants, castor beau, cal
adium, cantia; tall flowering plants,
cosmos, scarlet sage, sunflowers; border
plants, alternaiithera, alyssum,
agerntum, coleus; medium-tall annual
flowering plants, geranium, California
poppy (Kschscholtzia),Zinnia, marigold,
aster, petunia, coekseom'b, larkspur,
nasturtium; climbing annuals, cobaea
acandens, moonflower, Japanese morning
glory.
Varieties in color and contrast, in
height and general effect should be
studied in placing the plnnts. The gen
eral appearance of plants on the home
grounds or in the garden is more or less
dependent upon the condition of nearby
lawns.
Ijawns are the foundation of all dec
orative planting. A good, well-kept
lawn contributes more to the beauty
of grounds than any other single fac
tor. For this reason special attention
should be given to the grading, culti
vation and enriching of the area to be
devoted to the lawn. After good prepa
ration come good seed and care.
The variety of soils which will be en
countered and the special treatments
which they need render it possible to
make only the broadest generalizations
here. For localities north of St. Louis,
'Mo., and Richmond, Va., lawns can he
formed chiefly of bluegrass, red top and
white clover. South of this point Ber- I
mud a grass and St. Augustine grass j
will have to be relied upou chiefly, al
though it is said that in some places
alfalfa has been employed with good
results.
The United States Department of i
Agriculture has a bulletin on "Lawn
Soils and Lawns" (No. 494), and a
bulletin on "Beautifying the Home
Grounds" (No. 185), which will be
sent to applicants as long as the sup
ply lasts.
POINT TO CONTROL AS UUILT
Inner Facts of Defunct Insurance Com
panies Out In Court
Reading, Pa., March 18. —That D.
W. Rothensies, president, held proxies
for ninety per cent, of the stock at an
nual meetings, was told at the con
spiracy trials in the cases of three de
funct funding and insurance companies
in Court here yesterday. Rothensies,
Frederick G. Anderson and Charles A.
Stephens are charged with conspiracy
in connection with the collapse of the
three corporations, nearly $1,000,000
bping involved in tneir operations.
Dr. 8. G. Burkholder testified that
at one time two women, one a clerk,
were on the board of directors of one
company. Dr. C. C. Speicher, of Johns
town, said that he was a director and
had been promised dividends of live to
ten per cent, quarterly.
Most of the testimony went to show
the complete control the accused had
at various times of the stock. The com
panies were closely related and did
business together.

Girls' Basketball Game Causes Strained

Northampton, Pa., March 18.—
i There is a merrv war between the Rev.

Mr. Stoudt has issued a statement in

Carlisle Elks' Big Frolic
The Carlisle Elks' Theatrical Asso
ciation. which has been presenting a
musical comedy entitled "They're At
It Again'' to capacity audiences at the
Carlisle Opera House the early half of
this week, will open a two-day engage
ment at the Majestic Theatre in Har
r.isburg to-morrow evening. Reports
from Carlisle are to the effect that this
year's show of the Elks is, by far, the
best thing that they have ever at
tempted. If, for no other reason, the
show would ibe well worth attenijiing on
account of the elaborate gowns worn
by the female impersonators, but there
are other reasons. The show is full of
good comedy, bright songs and good
dances. There is a clever story run
ning through the piece, and withal, it
is fully as enjoyable as the big musical
comedies presented by professional
companies.—Adv. *
Maude Adams
Maude Adams in planning for her
present tour decided that she would
' give several of her plays. It is cus
tomary that when an actor or actress
is to give a number of plays to engage
, people who will fit into the parts in all
of the plays. This makes the carrying
of a large number of people on tour
unnecessary and to a very large extent
lightens the expense in many ways.
Miss Adams disregarded this plan, how
ever, when she was engaging her com
pany. For instance, she practically en
gaged a company to be seen in "Qual
ity Street," without the slightest
thought or intention of using the peo
ple in her other plays. Her aim was
to make an artistic revival of the play
, and the matter of expense was of no
' moment to her providing she achieved
the desired result. It Is being said
of the revival of "Quality Street,"
which Miss Adams is to give at the
Majestic next Friday evening, that it is
proving to be immensely popular. The
sentiment and the humor of the comedy
seem to come at this time as a welcome
relief from the play of morals and the
slap—stick farce of the times. In the
revival Miss Adams will be seen in her
- old role of Phoebe Throssell.—Adv. *
At the Orpheum
One of the very interesting attrac
tions supporting the mammotH produc
tion called "Safety First" at the Or
pheum this week, is the act of Bert
| Levy, the caricature cartoonist, who
could play at the Orpheum every sea
son, or oftener, and always win a big
. welcome. He always has a unique sur
prise up his sleeve and always presents
it in an original mauner. Mr. Levy is
an Australian. After working on vari
ous periodicals of the Antipodes as a
cartoonist and writer, he thought he
would try new fields, so he came to
America. Here he found it difficult to
' become recognized, the field being rath
er well crowded. However, toy show
• ing here and there his wonderful facil
[ ity with pen and pencil, particularly in
portraiture, Bert at last found friends
• among the editors, and may be said to
' have "arrived."
It was while doing cartoons on the
I New York "Morning Telegraph" (with
j which paper he is still connected) Mr.
| lievy conceived the idea of milking a
I real stage production of caricature
work by an invention whereby the car-
I toons should be thrown upon a huge
screen during the process of drawing.
!He was many months perfecting the
j idea, but won at last, and now he does
a vaudeville "turn" that stands unique
jin the history of the varieties. On a
i little piece of lamp Hacked glass, no
larger thau a commerical envelope, Mr.
j Levy draws his wonderful portraits and
