SPECTACULAR STOPS Hartford may have had more peppery pilots in its Eastern League career than Daniel P. How ley, tbe present man at the helm, but there are those who doubt this very much.

Sine. the local outfit has been pulled together and Dan has been daily shoving his mon through stiff paces, tbe stock of tbe IochI olnt, hns rlweu Htcadilv and all lo onUHG of the "pep" that Howlcy dlspla. while nupcrvlsiiis the lrorces rlnyer. l'ait. lfe h.B a faculty of making men travol at top spoed and the player.

hav already arrived at tho realization that thero i. to be no loaftnff vhile llowley 1. around. Yesterday afternoon, during the hour or more that Imn and hi. charKca worked out, ample evidence of the esteem in which the players hold llowley and their wllllnKness to travel fast for bun was furnished.

Han iu a little late in arriving at the (rrnuiitls and the plavcrs who preceded him contented themselves with lelaurely lleld-hilf prounder. and files from lelaurely-h It HpnldiiiKs. hut just a. toon as the flold general arrived things to hum. Some Spectacular Miopa.

Batting practice was flrat on th. program and Howlcy did the most of tli. heaving, lie had something on Hi. ball, too, but it didn't phaze tho player, worth a They stood up there, picked out hat they liked and slammed It to varlou. and sundry parts of the field.

Tho real work caino when the fielding practice was Marled. Willi liHiimi and Kelley alternating at first in place of Mai Barry, who went home for the day; Maddox at second, Kane at third and Noher at abort, Howlcy sent the inlicld through, a hard half-hour mid several times Kane and Neher pulled off plavs that brought spontaneous applause from tho hundred or ao fans who wore out watching the boy. work. I.ert side a Tile left side of the inflold is certainly a future. Kan.

has niado good right off tho bat. field, perfectly and his whip to first base the ball acros. th. diamond with the speed of a bullet and as accurate. Ho has a perfect working partner in 1'hll Neher.

who will go after everything. and, though bia ability with the willow i. vet problematical, hia fielding will undoubtedly hold him the position on the team. Maddox is a fast boy and show, promise Ho handles ground balls well and should improve under the tutelage of Howley. Outfield Has Sprd.

Tho outfield la speed personified and will undoubtedly in it. present makeup. Murphy, Bailey and Gelb. Th. latter bore tho brunt of Howley'.

attack yesterday when Pun took to hitting lo the outneld. the pilot forcing Hell. back, forward and lo either aide for long runs after the ball. Ovln looked good and displayed a perfect whip to howlcy when th" latter yelled for him to heave It home. The ball came on line and into Howley'a hands on the first bound.

It could not have been prettier. Murphy and Bailey are fixtures. They are men of experience and their past record, in minor league ball allows them to be plaveru of moro than the ordinary amount of ability. The team will practice: again today. Barry will return from his home in Hrock-ton and Pennington and Joe Bhcrmau will probably bthere.

THE STANDINGS. National luffue. 1 FiSIO Chaney and Josephs Meet Tonight Other News of Roped Circle. (11V THE SPORTS KlilTOK.) An exodus ut boxing- fans in a mild form v. ill take place this morning and afternoon, when something like lt'U followers of the manly art quit this lair i.

tty for Boston, The reason is that Young Chancy. the blonde Polish battler, is showing there Unight. He is to meet Bobfcy Josephs, a "narri mit" to crack but still crackablc, as Joe Lynch proved when he sent Bob to akep in the final round ot tPtir bout not so very long ago. Burns Drntr With llruun. Chancy is travelling fast and he's a retty busy boy ight now.

Monday he went up against Young Brown of Philadelphia, invading that boy's own domain. The bout, as is generally the case when Chancy is in the ring with an opponent, was a slasher. Brown was given the decision by some, others handed it to Chaney while iho majority called it a sizzling, sensational draw. Brown, according to all reports from Quakertown, is one of the most promising youngsters in the ring, a newcomer that bids fair to battle his way to the top in record time. The fact that he was matched" up against Chaney, one of the best of the featherweights in the game today, proves that his backers and his manager had plenty of confidence in his ability.

The Chaney-Josephs bout is the final event on an all-star affair, the card being comprised of three li-round set-tos. Mails And Brandt Training. Sammy Waltz and "Dutch" Brandt are training hard for their twelve-round bout which will be battled in the Auditorium ring a week from tomorrow night. Thursday. April 29.

Dan who handles the destinies of the "Dutch." person, has written in to the effect that Brandt realizes the toughness of the local lad and that he will surely be in condition to go a oozen last sessions when lie steps over the ropes for the encounter with Waltz. Brandt should know how toiieji hammy is because he has met him once, down in Merlden. and the followers of the wh, ut thn ring when the two met say that it was I one of tho best staged in thestate. i Henlize Sammy's Ability. Sammy, though a disappointed boy I oecause it was impossible to bring Murphy up here against bim.

knows that Brandt is a pretty good boy and that he will have to keep moving in older to get a victory away from him. Lrundt is a nationally-known bantamweight as he has appeared in rings all over the country and is a good drawing card wherever he goes. Sammv has yet to appear outside of the state but the many boys who have been brought into Connecticut and put in the same ring with the local lad have tipped the others off to the scrappy boy from Hartford. When Waltz and Brandt meet, the latter ill tindoubtedlv receive an unpleasant sort of a surprise. In their previous encounter.

Sammv had one hand, a perfectly good right that hns sent many a boxer to the mat lor the count. Joe Lynch was tipped ofr to this right before his encounter with I he local boy and Waltz never had a chance to land it where it would do the most good. Since then. Sammy has developed a perfectly good left and Brandt will need only one short, jolt from this southpaw to teach him that nuii 8 a good two-handed boy against llnnson-Sncnccr A(cnln. Interest in tho second meeting of "Red" Hanson and Willie Spencer is growing fast as the time for the bout upproaches There nre many followers of the (tame in this city who re nf the opinion that Willie is the hotter boy of the two and thev are looking forward to a Spencer victorv hen the two meet aeain.

The two boys went ten rounds on the last card and tlx demand was Dnnular that thev he rometrhed. i teketa for the show have been BOSTON A.B. It. H. P.O.
