THE PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER, SATURDAY MORNING, APRIL 2, -1910 10 MARONEY HAS SIGN OUT ON ATHLETICS, WHO FAIL TO SECURE TIMELY BINGLES In Limelight of the Camera at Shibe Pfark on Opening Day of Season ATTELL AND MORI WILL REVIVE HORSE Wildness of Coombs Gives Dooin1 Darlings Bi Lead in First Inning Home Runs Scored by Magee and Murphy Remarkable Cleverness of Abe More Than Offsets Moran's Rushing Tactics After Lapse of Ten Years Main Line Society Will Welcome Back King Horse nns 4 to IN ANOTHER DRAW SHOW DEVON Dates Are May 30-31 and June 1-2 Exhibition to Tata Place of St. Martin's Show At No Stage of the Bout Was Either Boy Jn Any Danger of Going Out flies Doolan poled a beauty one-baser to centre, which carried home Bates and Grant. Triples by Knabe and Cheek and Maroney's sacrifice fly brought over two in the third. D.vgert succeeded Coombs in the sixth, and he was given a royal reception by. the Quakers.

After Maroney whiffed. -Titus' walked, and Bates beat out a hit to Davis. Grant singled to right. The atmosphere which hung oxer Shibe Park yesterday evidently ageed better with the Phll-lies than It did the ifackmen, for the National Leaguers, without much exertion, won the opening round in the Interieague series by a ore-sided total of 9 to 4. Barring the seventh inning, when the Athletics collected four of their nans- safe taps off Maroney.

the young recruit of the National Leaguers had things pretty much his own way. Real baseball weather and the fact that it was the first game of the 1910 season In Philly brought out a crowd estimated between peven and eight thousand. But. outside of the fact that it was the opener for the season, there was little else attached to the contest. The first round the Phillies were up before Jack Coombs took the edge oft the game.as that inning g-ave the Nationals three soft runs and a lead which took the snap out of the contest.

It was the same- two teams on the field, with the exception of the PhiUies' colt battery. Messrs. Maroney and Cheek, which the fans saw battle in many sensational game last season. The Athletics line-up was identical with tht one of 1909. and the Phillies were also the same ontside of the battery men.

although their order was much shifted in position, and M'agee was in centre, with Bares in left. The Quakers, however, had their batting lamps better trimmed for the occasion than the Athletics. They lit into Coombs and Iy-gert with much freedom of stick swinging and soon had -SHeu -a-- lead that the Mackmen were heattn long before the windup was in sight. The Phillies. played plenty Tim and snap from the start, due.

no doubt, the fat lead they had secured in the opening Bnt neither Coombs nor Fygert worked with s'much effort as did The Baltimore raft man went the entire route of nine ses- ns and he worked just as hard in every nnd as ever ht did in a championship battle, was an opportunity Manager Dooin gave the young left-hander as his initial appearance be-1're a Philadelphia erowd, and Maroney that chance with a tight grip and went at the Athletics like a whirling Dervlsher. His left-handed shoots certainly had the sign on most of the Klephants. Murp'h and Baker being the exceptions, and they "hit at his shoots, curves and fall-away ball in --random style. It was a bit too early for this style of pitching for the Arhletics to stand up against, but this llaron failed to take into consideration, and the longer he Manked them the harder he worked. The flleptiants failed to see the rubber during the first six sessions, but gathered their four runs in a round of three in the seventh and one in the eighth.

Coombs' wildness was instrumental in giving th Phillies three runs in the first inning. lie passed Titus and Bates, and then irant laid liown an intended sacrifice in front of the-nlate. which Padilv Livingston threw poorly at thiiii trving to get Titus, and all hands were Magee walked, forcing home Titus, nnd aft-r Bransiield and Knabe lifted up infield Pi 13 Zbi (Did $pt fiwiigs -Tf Vcu Can't Bont Knock when they start in to bamboozle the public they only wind up bv fooling themelves. There are probably half a dozen good alleged lightweights" around town just now, each under the management of a hustler, who realizes the importance of keeping his man before the public, and heading off anything that looks like an adverse opinion. bo long as his man is not knocked out, it is a pretty poor sort of hustler who will not at least get a draw for-him.

no matter how the fight may go. This kind of work possesses no permanent value, for the fight-going talent, accustomed to think for themselves, and possessing discriminating intelligence, is not to be deceived, particularly iu the decisions on events which they have witnessed themselves. 4 Si i Now and then some bouts are so closelv contested that not even the most capable of judges would attempt to give a decision in favor of one boxer, fearing that he might do an injustice to another, and some bouts are such rank counterfeits' from every pugilistic angle that it would be harmful to the game to give the decision But. as a rule, there is enough margin of difference in the performance -of two men working on trie level throughout a six -round bout to jus-r tify thf spectators and the- critics in giving a decision a decision in which the majority of the spectators wnl concur. But, as said before, it is a hard matter to convince the average manager, that his meal ticket should "have gotten anything worse than a draw, no matter how badly he may have-bien beaten uo.

His loyalty is to be commended, and if he would only stop there no particular harm would be done, but, as a rule, he does not. If JACK JOHNSON celebrated the thirty-second anniversary of his birth on Thursday night, and in the tory of the event sent out from Chicago we are told: Little, Johnson's manager, looked askance ae the big black emptied goblet after goblet of the fluid." As anyone -who has followed the doings of Johnson, -which have been faithfully chronicled through the daily press for the past year or so, must know the "fluid" referred to is the juice of the grape "the imprisoned laughter of the peasant girls of France," as the present Mayor of Boston called it some years ago viile attending a late session vrith our own Pat Connelly. Xo vulgar beer or plebeian highballs for Jack! Not much! He's undoubtedly got the class when it comes right down to boozerina at ita best estate. It was his antipathy to brewers' milk that precipitated the little argument in that New York sporting drum which led to the rearrangement of the facial lines of one Norman Pinder a little physical pleasantry which has caused the latter to be a wanderer from his own fireside and caused Jack himself no end of physical inconvenience. It twUl be noticed that the truthful and precise chronicler saya that Little "looked askance." That only goes to prove that George's head is very flat on top, as Phineas T.

used to say. Had he looked cockeyed, it is not unlikely that Jack would have Pinderized him before the guests assembled to do honor to the 32d recurrence of his natal day. But though Jack himself loves to cut into the white stuff five per squirt, it is evident that he is of the opinion that it is not fitted for those whose blood is less rich than his. for at the end of the story we are told that "there was bter and other liquids for those who did not care for the juice of the -rape." There is certainly a lot of speed about that Johnson pusson. As a rule, the very active young men who devote their time in exploiting the abilities of the boxers who they inay happen to have on their staff think pretty well of their charges, as they should, but bringing home Titus.

Magee then clouted to me ieit centre neia rence tor tne circuit, cnas-ing in Bates and Grant ahead of him. That was the extent of the Phillies' scoring, but it was enough. The Athletics wtre runless until the seventh, when they pulled oft a slight rally. Collins and Baker singled in succession, and after Davis popped to Doolan. Murphy's wicked smash bounced away from Grant and bounded over the left-field bleachers' Just aa the ball was about to connect with the fence an ambitious "cop" tried to stop it.

but it bounced among the crowd, and Umpire Connolly allowed Murphy to come all the way home. giving Danny a cheesy four-sack swat. by Oldring, Baker and Murphy gave the Athletics their last ruu of the afternoon in the eighth. Score: ATHLETICS ab. r.

That Earl D. Wilson, the Naval Academy foortall player whose neck was fractured during a game on October 23 last, was in a most serious condition, was stated by the attending surgeon at the Naval Hospital today. Wilson Is decidedly weaker, his pulse is in a bad condition and he seems drowsy nd lethargic. While it is not thought" that Wilson's death isyimmiuent. It is thotight at the hospital that he cannot rally from his present sinking spell and that the end Is not far off.

He-wax not able to be moved at all today or to 1e propped up in the special lifting machine that had been procured for him. Unlike what he has been nearly every day since the accident. Wilson did not eem animated nor did he ask to be placed in a sitting position. The fact that over five months have passed since the accident has convinced all the surgeons who have seen Midshipman Wilson that the pressure caused by the fracture and compression of the vertebrae has so injured the spinal cord that it is beyond the possibilities that It should recuperate. There has been no sensation or voluntary movement below the neck since the accident occurred.

Wilson's father and brother are now witht him. His father has been in Annapollsi most of the time since the accident. Highlanders to Start Northward ATHENS. April 1 (Special). The Highlanders have played their last game here -and will start northward next Sunday- night.

DEVOX. April 1. The dlscontlnusnca of the annual spring horse show at St. Martin's will not deprive Philadelphia of an opportunity to exhibti for blue ribbons in the near future, according to an anniuni-ement which has been made by William T. Hunter, the well-known horseman.

The big oval, which is ideal for lareg audiences, having unlimited parking spaces and several stands, is situated before the Devon Inn. and in many respects is similar to the famous Bryn Mawr oval. The Devon Horse Show was discontinued ia 19U0 owing to the conflict of dates with the St. Martin's exhibit.

It was statred in 189fi. and for five years was attended with great success, gaining in popularity season after season. By mutual agreement, however, the show came to an end in favor of the Philadelphia affair.

Abe Attell and Owen Moran put- up a great bout at the Fairmount Athletic Club, with honors even at the end of the ten-rcmd Fession. Both boys showed great cleverness and although the featherweight tampion had the better of the earlier rounds, the Englishman evened matters in the later sessions.

The bout was one of the fastest witnessed at the cluh for some time. Moran missed many punches at the beginning of the fight, as Attell was. clever, which made it hard for the Englishman to get to the featherweight oil in Ion at ihn beginning, but he planted some hard lefts on Attell's Jaw. which slowed him solnewhat at the end. Attell Nwas the aggressor in the first round and be earned this round by a fair margin.

In the second "Moran began fighting in better shape and landed quite as much as he received. The third was of the scientific kind and every little action was done, as both boys held no a good guard and they very seldomed connected. In the fourth Moran loosed up and he had Attell on the Jumo to avoid his swinging blows. This round was the Englishman's by a big margin. Attell took the next two rounds and he appeared to he having the better of the Englishman at this stage.

The latter displayed wonderful form in the last four rounds and was entitled to an evn break through his whirlwind finish. Both boys finished strong and a draw would be a fair decision. The Englishman was the stronger at infighting, but Attell counterbalanced whatever advantage Moran had by his cleverness. FIGHT FANS IN CHINA HFHER SEATS NEW YORK. April 1.

John J. Gleason. partner of Rlekard in promoting the Jeffries-Johnson prize fight, declared today that while not a ticket had been sold for the contest, which Is to take place at Emeryville. on July 4. demands for reservations had been received from many parts of the world.

"We, even have a request from CElna for lfiO seats." said Gleason at his hotel, "and Hugh Mclntooh Is to bring a big delegation from Australia.

We will have no trouble In selling all the seats from 95 to $50 each.

"Jeffries was in fine condition when I saw him last, as was Johnson." RICKARD 'THINKS FIGHT WILL DRAW $350,000 GATE SAX FRANCISCO. April 1. The siws of the gate at the Jeffries-John son fight Is a matter of much speculation here. That the receipts of the big fight will overtop all previous marks, however, is the belief of all.

"We are not In proper shape to record reservations yet and we are simply swamped with applications for seats. England has taken 125 choice seats, and 300 have been reserved for New Tork parties.

Lfayette batted Stewart hard, but with men on bases he steadied and kept tho visitors from scoring except in the first inning. Demott was invincible, only -1-lowicg one hit and giving no bases on balls. Lafayette was badly crippled by the loss of Matson and to add to the agony Conover was hit in the eye by a pitched ball in the sixth inning and had to leave the game. He will probably be back in the game tomorrow but cannot catch. Altschuler took his place and did well.

In the eighth inning North Carolina tried a sqneeze play twice. Melan checked it the first time, and Altschuler caught the runner at the plate on the second attempt. The crowd applauded Lafayette'os plucky fight after Cono-ver's injury. Although it was hard to lose the chief game of Junior week. Melan played a good speeoy game today after his sorry exhibition of the past two games.

Duncan played a fine heaav game for North Carolina and is a genuine ball flayer. LAFAYETTE NORTH CAROLINA r. h. b. a.e.

THE INQUIRER'S BASEBALLERS BUSY are only kidding themselves, and incidentally doing an injustice to the boy by making him believe that he is better than he really is. a It is a matter of fact that the most consistent ring performer we have, the one who invariably gets a good piece of changiJ tpr himself and tor the club at which he appears Tommy O'Toole has never been compelled to recourse to such hanky-panky.

The magic of his name on a bill will more than offset columns of the most persuasive dope ever turned out. He 'needs little or no boosting. The public knows what he has done, and will confidently anticipate what he will do whenever he is billed to box. His drawing ability will never be affected by knocking, no matter how strenuous; he will continue to be a card until he starts to go back, as like all fighters he eventually will. It is a matter of regret that some of the other really capable boys who are boxing around here have not been Ivandled with the same intelligence and good business judgment as Tommy O'Toole.

the pride of Port Richmond, has been They might not have been worked so often, and there might not have been so much space devotel to their doings, but at the end of the year they would have copped out more kale. And presumably' it is the kale they are after. Boxing fans will recall Jimmy McHale, the lightweight who made considerable local history twenty years ago. and who ran th Southwark Club. Though he has been out of the game for vears, he never lost his interest in it, and now he threatens to break out as a manager.

He believes that he has discovered a wonder in Joe Burns, of North Penn, and so Confident is he of the youngsters ability, that he is ready to back tnm to the extent of $1000 against any 125-lb. boy in the country- A straight line will be had on Jimmy's judgment tonight, for his protege is to wind-up with Buck (Twin) Miller, the star of Muggsy's stable at the National.

"At Kansas City he charged me with trying to impede his progress and dpsailed me with a rain, of abuse before four thousand people.

I did not dare to go near him while we were in that city. "Mrs. Weston endeavored to see her husband while he was In Kansas City, but he refused to see her. When a reporter attempted to question him concerning his wife he. became frantic and threatened to do the newspaper man bodily injury.

Usually In his saner mind following the violent outbreaks Weston apologizes and asks me to treat him like a child. "Weston's secretary left New York with him and. traveled back as far as Iaramlne. New Mexico. Here the old man became enraged over some trivial Vmatter and discharged his employe.
