CofTey showed vast improvement over bis preceding two attempts, and for a time it looked as though be would knock out the giant killer.

Coffey had an advantage of 25 pounds, and he made every pound of it count. At the outset he was full of "pep" and carried the fight to the Ward, who held a confab with the false motion that requires him to take an extra, step.

Of course we cannot keep them all and we are seriously considering what to do for those we release. I can see only one way out, and that is to establish two minor leagues, one In the East and another in the West, not only to take care of our surplus players, but to act as a sort of feeder to our league. 1 think that will be done."

Charley Stengel is becoming something of a clean-up man on his own account, and is next to Smith in the batting order. Charley slammed a homer over where the centerfleld should have been yesterday, but the fence went down in the storm, and the carpenters had not been around to fix it. Holmquist was playing center for the Tanigans, and was honest enough to admit that the ball cleared the fence by five feet for the longest hit ever seen in Augusta. It was a peach of a blow, whether it went through or over the fence, and the twenty-eight fans present gave a whoop of delight as they saw Boss Ebbets' dollar and a quarter piece of leather disappear into the beyond. Stengel said when he came here from his coaching at the University of Mississippi that he had Talking about the renorta that im Atlantic Harden Manhattan-Danny JIMse va.

Rubber Frank Kelly gave the injured member a number of vicious yanks la.it night to straighten out a muscle that had gone astray and predicted that Mowe would bo in the pink of condition today. Another patient on Kelly's hands was Liggett.

That enterprising athlete hit a bull so hard in practice that he raised a blood blister on the palm of his hand. When he hit another ball in the game yesterday he broke the bllstor with the usual painful and profane results. It will interfere with his sticking and throwing for a couple of days. John Hummel also has a sore hand. John walloped a three-bagger yesterday that was big enougli to put down the rebellion, after which he beat out a bunt and today is too proud to speak to poor whites.

John and Klberfeld are dividing the management of the Yanlgans and have a system of signals that is a wonder. Thev got the said signals crossed in the fifth inning, and there was much scandal in the Yanigan family. Now they have agreed to give their squad blackboard lessons on inside baseliall. Hig Kd Pf'effer broke over the traces yesterday and insisted upon pitching four innings instead of three for the Yanigans. lle threatened to jump to the Federals if he did not get in that extra round, and carried his point.

All talk of Fielder Jones has no foundation in fact, so far as the Brooklyn Club is concerned.

While Jones would MODEL YACHTSMEN WOULD RACE smaller man. CoffeVs unexpected aggressiveness surprised the Battler who spent the better part of the first few rounds doing a backward marathon. Coffey showed a slashing left which found Levinsky's repeatedly. Occasionally he ripped In a right, but this blow missed more times than it landed. Levinsky did not once take his eyes off the Dublin Giant's right, and at the first sign of danger from it he was off.

In the mean time Levinsky was doing a little business on his own hook. He tried for in-fighting and when the two were clasped in each other's arms, Levinsky played a tatoo the giant's stomach. Before the third round had ended both were bleeding slightly at the mouth. In the fifth, Coffey lifted his smaller antagonist and tried to break nls back bj flinging him to the floor. After that round, Levinsky slipped inside at every opportunity and his stomach blows slowed up Coffey materially.

In the tenth round, Levinsky took a chance at swapping punches and held his own. The 23 pounds advantage that Coffey had was too much for the Battler, however, and he was fortunate to get a dtaw. Phil Bloom teoV a ood licking from Young Brown and showed no disposition to make a fight. The Zulu Kid of Brooklyn outpunched Jimmie Fitzpat-rlck. fly-champion of England.

Flynn Quits to Walter Mohr. Jimmy Flynn of Long Island quit to Walter Mohr of South Brooklyn in the fifth round of a scheduled ten-round bout which featured the weekly show last night at the Military A. C. Mohr was the master of the situation from the tap of the gong, in the first round, and dealt out severe punishment to his opponent. In the fifth round Mohr dropped Flynn with a wicked right.

The latter claimed a foul, and refused to continue. It was the opinion of many spectators, however, that Flynn had quit cold. Joe Marino of Williamsburg and Jimmy Gray of East New York fought ten fast rounds, with Marino the winner. This bout was full of action from bell to bell, with Marino having the advantage throughout. The preliminaries were featured by knockouts.

In the opening bout, scheduled for four rounds, Harry McGowan quit to Young Able in the third session. Young Marto stopped Eddie O'Brien In the second round. Al. Anderson knocked out Soldier Kaufman In the first round. Mike Malta Too Much for Young Pierson.

More than 100 excavations have already been made, and it is probable that the contractors will start to lay concrete by Thursday. One chute for the erection of concrete has already been completed and work on a second one started today. John J.

Carlin, who has charge of the work, expressed himself, today, as be rar as Alexander and Russell are concerned, the Brooklyn Federal Leaguo Club has decided not to have any dealings with players under contract with Organized Ball and that goes, no matter what the heads of the Federal League may have In view." Ward said that temporary headquarters had been secured in Brooklyn at Flatbush and Third avenues, in order to facilitate the building of Washington Park, and also to keep in touch with the fans who may be Interested In the progress of the local club. Permanent headquarters will be secured oiaier uiuu, as neuner organization has a noine on tide water, and secondly the batting eye, which caused him to leap into such sudden fame last spring, t.nd he Is making good the prediction. Holmquist was picked by Manager Robinson from the wilds of the South -Michigan League as a pitcher, but he is displaying so much vim as a hitter that he may land in the outfield.

Already the Brooklyn Model Yacht Club, holder of the Eagle Cup, the most historic trophy for model yachts in the country, has received a challenge for the mug.

The Yankee Model Yacht Club is the challenger and in all probability the race will be sailed on decoration Day. lor many years the trophy was held by the American Model Yacht Club. Last year, it was captured by the Brooklyn tars and the win did a great deal to stimulate interest In the racing of little boats. The Brooklyn Model Yacht Club has its home in Prospect Bark and sails all its regattas on the big lake In the Park. So also does the Yankee Model Yacht Club and it has been stigegsted that the deed of gift governing The Eagle Trophy be modi-fled so that the race for the historic prize may be sailed on the Park lake.

When the cup originally was offered, back in the early nineties, practically all of the model yacht racing was on salt water. The deef of gift therefore stated that the races must be held on It is no uncommon thing for salt water taces to be postponed.

In Great Britain there is an unwritten law against playing golf in shirtsleeves, ns tennis is played.

That coats may prove a positive hindrance to Ouimet and Travers is shown by the accompanying plteture of a golfing coat In use In England, which has a pivot sleeve designed to lessen the binding in the back swing.

Referring to the advantages of this pivot sleeve, a tailor who makes that kind of coat says: "It Is In the back swing that a golfer, accustomed to playing In an ordinary coat, feels that binding and restraint of the cloth, destructive both of his natural swing and his confidence of hitting the ball. Our 'pivot sleeve' golf coat with its deep Invisible side plaits, opening and spreading during the swing, gives the same freedom of movement felt by the golfer playing In his shirtsleeves." Hilton, In a recent remark about the shirtsleeve playing, said that he practiced a few times playing without a coat, but finding that It gave too much play to his arms, he gave It up.
