MAY FLOWERS HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE CASE OF BECK'S BOTTLED BEER YOU SHOULD QRDER A -Y AH 1 10 MCE Buffalo's Big Pitcher Won First Game of the Newark Series. A SLUGGING MATCH. Murray Made Home Bun By Knocking the Ball Against Deep Center Field Fence Milligan Today. Fertsch was a stumbling block In the Bisons' path until yesterday, and how the boys did wreak revenge on their ancient enemy! It's said enough for a pitcher to lose a game, but to be knocked out of the box in two Innings was a beartbreaker for Fertsch, and that young man will never again brag of what be can do to the Buffalo. It was Fertsch's first loss of the season, and It was a humiliating one.

Nine Juicy hits, one a triple, were registered off Fertsch's delivery In the first two Innings, and five runs resulted. It was too much for Fertsch, and he retired In favor of McCoy. To the amazement and dismay of Mac, tbe Buffalos continued their bombardment, and they scored six runs In the 3rd Inning. Murray distinguished himself by hitting out a high By to deep center, which was good for a home run. It was tbe longest bit iuilde the grounds this year.

With the game cinched In three innings tbe four thousand fans who paid admission tried to make themselves as comfortable as possible. It was Ladles' Day, and tbe fair ones took advantage of Stalling' generosity by filling tbe grandstand. Little room was left for the dyed-ln-the-woot fans, but that fact didn't bother tbem. The ladles. It was observed, were more enthusiastic than tbe men, and, of course, big Rube Kissinger got a liberal share of tbe hand clapping.

Rube Is a genuine "matinee Idol." Wasn't the sound of the gong after the third Innings sweet music In your ears? How tbe gentle fans manifested their approval by yelling out 123 4 a in harmony with the gong. Ten thousan4 attendance today. Half holiday and Buffalo and Newark to play! Mllltgan and Pardee this afternoon. therefore, a lively tussle Is looked for. A fast and exciting game Is surely to result.

Rooney, Knell or Bamberg will deliver tbe benders, while Edwards or Barber wll work behind the bat for the Newsies. Slac-er and Donnelly will be the battery folr the Young Sports. Game will be called. at 2 oclock. AU players of tbe Newsboy team are requested to be at the Newslioys club rooms tomorrow at 1 oclock.

No. 144 Swan street, or to 42 South Division street. The "Has Beens" in This Club Evidently Cannot Stand the Fast Pace.

Jimmy Collins' Boston Americans lost their 45th straight game yesterday, and the Boston papers naturally are roasting Collin and his men. The trouble seems to come from tbe "deadwood" In Collins' team, and If James doesn't secure some new blood pretty soon be will find himself without support. There are too many fat bas beons In the Boston American team. Ban Johnson, president of the League, has gone to Boston, and he says that be will help Collins to strengthen his team. Johnson says: "There Is no doubt but that Collins' team needs strengthening.

The outfield In particular needs new men. I am here to do all I can to got the team on a winning basis. Boston will soon see some new players. Who they are or when they can be secured Is hard to say until we have found out what men can be secured from tbe other clubs." PULLMANS AND ATHLETICS TODAY.

Proved to Be the Fastest Roller Skater in Convention Hall Last Night. There Is a prospect of some good match roller skating races at the Convention Hall roller rink In the near future. The enthusiasm that roller skating races has aroused at Convention Hall has caused the management to' look for attractions In this line.

Last night there was a two-mile open which was run In three beats and a final-The winner. Dean Joslyn. won after an ex-citlug finish with George Putnam second and P. B. Porter third.

The time for the two miles was given as 7.02, but much better time has been made at this rink. Next wrek there will be another open race In which an Elmlra skater named Tanner will enter, also Blakeslee of this city, who at one time appeared in the limelight of rol- (lerdom. It Is expected also that Schwartz and Claake will enter. Zlmbrlch still holds aloof, but It is eald that he Is play ing possum ana may oe nearu rrom later on. The crowd last evening was one of the largest of the week which attests to the popularity of this place of amusement.

Manager Frank Jailer has secured a competent corps of Instructors, among whom Is Michael Buckley, who gave exhibitions on the deck of the steamer Music daring the World's Fair at Chicago. BLUE LABELS AT AKRON. ID LEADS IK POOL C1IPIBP I M'GOVEBJT IS CRAZY. He la Apt to Get Killed In His Floht With Jimmy Britt. Physicians who understand Terry Me-Govem's true condition are making an emphatic protest against bis meeting Jimmy Britt in Madison Square Garden May 28.

Terry's mental balance wheel again flew off the tangent a few weeks ago. Experts believe -that the Brooklyn boy stands in grave danger of being killed if be enters tbe ring. IS II II "PIKER" Used to Bet Thousands on a Race But Today the Piker's Limit, $2, Goes. Riley Grannan, the spectacular plunger who won as high as $200,000 a year in bis turf operations, is a "piker" on th metropolitan tracks. Grannan was a bellboy in tbe St.

Charles Hotel, New Orleans, in 1809, when he began to pick the ponies. His success was phenomenal for a few years. His prodigious luck turned bis bead. Todny ha is broke. Pittsburg Phil waa the only gambler who amassed a fortune of $500,000 and upwards as a turf gambler.

The Crimson Men Figure a Close Victory Parsons to Run For Yale. Cambridge, May 19. The pick of the athletic representatives of Harvard and Yale will meet today at the Stadium for the annual track and field games between the two universities. Harvard men are confident that the team which overwhelmed I'artmouth two weeks ago will be able to brpak the string of defeats of the past few years and wrest victory by a comfortable score from Yale. Yale men, on the other hand, while despairing of their track team at the beginning of the se.ison, have been so encouraged by the decisive victory over Princeton last week and the splendid showing of the men, that tbey hope for a Yale victory by a close score.

The return of Parsons, the inter-collegiate half mile champion, who ran In the Olmyplc game at Athens, has cheered the supporters of the blue, and if he Is in form he Is looked upon as practically a sure winner In tbe half mile run. HERE IS A CHANCE FOR TERRY M'GOVERN If He Beats Jimmy Britt He Will Be in Line For the Lightweight Championship. Tim Hurst will be the referee of the Jimmy Britt-Terry McGovern fight in Madison Square Garden May 28th, and has ben empowered to separate tbe contestants should they refuse to break. It has been a much-discussed question whether Terry McGovern can reallyj fight in any semblance of bis old form, and there is quite a difference of opinion regarding it. Terry, it is well known, has not been taking the best of care of himnelf, but, like the ever-earnest John L.

Sullivhn and Tom Sharkey, believes he hus a chance with any of the cracks in the ring today. Britt bas not deteriorated except from lack of practice, perhaps. It is well known that the Californian is the cleverest lightweight in the ring today as far as boxing is concerned. He made Battling Nelson look like a novice, when they fought, simply by means of his wonderful foot work and remarkable ability to land and get away. But the Dune was able to stand bis punches and Britt found it hard to prevent that dreadful left of Nelson's from landing In twenty rounds.

Nelson had on chance and seized it, and therein lies the tale. Britt is a clever boxer, and able to get away after landing. These are ar. gv.ments for Britt. McGovern.

too, is a good boxer or rather was. Boxing enthusiasts can hardly forget the terrible short arm jolt of the little Brooklyn lad, and will vividly remember how more than one of Terry's opponents were sent to the floor for the full count because he landed that terrific blow to the body when in clinches. If. therefore, the men are to be permitted to lieht according to straight Marqnis of Qneensberry rules, and if there should be clinches, which are almost sure to number at least two for every round, it is a question whether Terry will be able to offset the Califor-nian's cleverness and nse his short arm jolt to the body with effect. Of conrse, the fact that Britt and McGovern are to clash for ten rounds in the Garden will cause the fight follow ers to take particular notice, in that it will be the first ten-round affair that has been pulled off In New York since the days when the Ilorton law was in force.

to the question whether a ten- round bout can be interfered with by the law or not, several managers of fighting clubs have declared that there is no limit mentioned in the law, the only requirements being that the fighters shall be both members and that the tight be witresed by club members oulv. It is apparently the object of the rwentiotb Century people to obviate this difficulty and to all appearances they have done so pretty well. There is also another phase of the fight between P.ritt and McGovern. Some five years ago, so the story goes, the boys boxed a little informal match in private and Britt bad the better of the Brooklynite. It is said that McGovern is, accordingly "sore" and will take his revenge, if possible, in the ring on.

May 28. It is all a question of Terry's old form, whether or not he is physically capable 3t going the route. It will a great fight if he is in shape. GOEMBEL AND HALL. Results of games played In Davis's pool toornsment last night: Goembei 50.

Hotchkiss Resigns Chairmanship of Highways Committee. SERVICES OF AUTOS. W. F. Culbersen, Frisco Agent For the Fierce Company, Writes of His Experiences.

President John Farson, of the American Automobile Association, bas appointed Robert H. Hopepr. of Philadelphia, to tbe chairmanship of the A. A. A.

highways oommltee, vice W. H. Hotchkiss, of Buffalo, resigned. fl Bnthuslas's and skeptics, alike, were astonished by the recent demonstration. In the economy test of tbe Automobile Club of America, of the distance It Is possible for a car to go on two gallons of gasoline.

Yet, when the performance of the winner la reduced to the formula of the quantity of fuel used per mile, for every thousand pounds weight of the car, tbe record made la far below what has been done abroad. Figured down to the basis mentioned, which la tbe formula used abroad. It Is seen of how much advantage the superlative roads of England are In Bach events. Tbe Franklin car that won. travelled 95 miles.

This Is equivalent to 8 miles, per gallon, per thousand pounds weight. In tbe English Contest last year, a Lanchester car scored 101 miles, per gallon, per tnonssnd pounds. Tbe old argument on tbe comparative joys of expectation and realisation bas no relevancy to a puncture. In this regard, the expectation Is preferred by all. TTiat the services of automobiles In Ban Francisco were of paramount Importance, has become more emphasized with every bit of fresh detail.

A graphic picture Is found In a letter written by W. F. Culberson, agent of the George X. Pierce Company. It Is glowing throughout, but lengthy.

In part, he says: "1 was at the garage at six o'clock on the fateful morning. Within tbe hour the order came from the city authorities to send every automobile available down town to convey the wounded to places of safety. I took charge of this work, and had no sleep nor rest for sixty hours. There was nothing to eat I did not want to eat. I shall never for get the scenes I witnessed.

I am firmly of the belief that had It not been for the motor vehicle, the death list would have been doubled. If not trebled. Cars were forced over heaps of brick, glass, hot dn ders and Into every conceivable place to save people. They all did heroic work and without any enthusiasm or exaggeration, the Pleree-Arrow proved Itself to be pure gold. The It tie two-cylinder cars that had been In the rental service for years, did not falter, even when overloaded.

The four-cylinder cars weer kept going day and night, from the morning of the 18th up to the present time. The only attention they have bad is water. oil and gasoline put Into thein and changes of tires." i Tslng kerosene and alcohol, as a substitute for gasoline, enabled a Phlladelphlan to get home at something belter than a snail's pace. Berious injury to tbe horse and carriage business In London Is being done! by the automobile, according to the English papers. The London Daily Mall says there are in unprecedented number of stables to rent and the coach builders are finding It Impossible to get rid of their stocks.

i Cable advices state that the American au-tomobllist In Pnris gave a rousing reception to Percy Pierce, the lone American who went over to compete with his Great Arrow car against all the French and German cracks in the big touring events. Pierce's plans provided for a one week Stay In Paris and then a drive in bis car to Frankfurt. Germany, from where the jierkomer contest starts. i 1 Secretary Gorhara, of the American Automobile Association, Is now on a recruiting tour with plans to line up the state associations of clubs.

THE NEW FOOTBALL RULES. Early Trials by Some -College Elevens Were Not Entirely Satiafactory. Trials of the new football rules on many college fields in spring practice have not been altogether successful and in many enses there seeeir.s to be just as much uncertainty as to how they will eventually work out as there was just after the code was completed. A tryout of the rules was held on Nebraska Field recently, the teams of the University of Nebrnska and of Doane College playing a game under the new conditions. The gam was watched with i great interest by Professor John T.

Lees I of the University of Nebraska, who is j'a member of the national intercollegiate i rules committee, although he never was at a meeting where rules were framed. Professor Lees, after tbe Nebraska team won by a sore of 6 to O. said that he did not think that the rules would do. Tbe Nebraskans' came to the conclusion that the defence had not been sufficiently weakened to warrant the rule for carrying the ball ten yards in three downs. They found the forward pass of little use to the offence and said that the game was merely a punting duel.

It was said that two teams might play indefinitely without either side scoring a touchdown. Yale has just completed spring work on the gridiron. This practice has been more thorough' than in any previous season, and some thirty men were kept at work for two weeks trying the new-rules behind closed gates. In many jwavs the candidates found that it was like beginning ail over again. Long passes on the run were not easy, as everyone found out.

At first there was a good deal of experimenting with the forward pass to discover, if possible, just how much it is going to affect the game. Opinion is divided on its effectiveness. When it worked smoothly it was a great ground gainer, and sometimes found a clear field, but most of the time the forward pass in its present state of development was a better gainer for tbe opponents than for the side which used it. With fast backs, perfect handling of tbe ball and perfect co-operation of all parts of the eleven, the experiments carried on so far prove for a certainty Xhat tbe forward pass will be a terror to the defense. With anything less than perfection it will be disastrous to the team which tries it.

At Cambridge it would seem that the spring football work bas not bean altogether a success. Tbe candidates had two weeks of work under Coach Beid and Captain Foster, about thirty men having; reported at tbe start. Uncertainty about the future of football and the number of football men "engaged in track, baseball and crew work resulted in lessening tbe number of players day by day; until at tbe last there were not enough men coming out to form a single team. Then Mr. Beid decided to; aua- pend work until next fall- It been I FREE-FOR-ALL III Horsemen Decide to Substitute the 2.08 Pace Purses Aggregating $75,000.

Miss May Sutton of I'nsa-deoa. champion woman tennis player of the world, made her initial appearance, Thursday in the invitation singles and doubles tournament at the Longwood Cricket Club.

The great desire see tbe remarkable young player, who has yet to lose her first match, though she has met the pick of the tennis players on both fides the Atlantic, drew a crowd some time before the match was scheduled, so that when the champion entered the court she was the centre of fully 150 pairs of eyes. The gallery was stationed on the bank overlooking the court. Upon Mrs. Wallacb of New York, the sole point winner for the Metropolitan team In the inter-city matches, fell the task of trying to administer the first defeat for the Pacific slope player, and while many in th? gallery would have been better pleased to have seen one of the strong IV.ston players pitted against Miss Sutton, they felt that Mrs. VTallach could be defended upon to put up a stubborn defence against the powerful stroke for which Miss Sutton has become famous.

Besides, it gave the Boston women more of an opportunity to study the game of the champion and plan ahead what they might do when pitted against her. Miss Sutton was clieere'' as she entered the court, the picture of health, her bared arms showing in appearance alone where some of the power comes from for her drives way from the base line. Miss Sutton won the toss for service, and' the way her first hall came ing into the net betokened what strength there is in her right arm, if not boding 111 for the net. Her service stroke, to watch it leave the racquet, is not unlike the reverse twist service of Whitman, which proved so puzzling to the English players when they visited Long-wood in tbe international matches, but 1t came across more swiftly and without the sharp reverse bound when it struck the court. MAX GRAF AND BILLY LEUTH IN A MATCH.
