At the end oftheir encounter Crouse was the leader by a scant margin, due to his superiority in boxing.

It was this feature only that earned him an advantage. From bell to bell it was hard finht, both men battling as thoush the middleweight championship was at stake, and both showed gameness under (Ire. Chip got away to a good lead in when he swung (-roU8e gainst the ropes. ITouse was and his arms went down. It looked as at tnia stage.

Heturned quickly and lead, but by Hits time Crouse had got round by clinching. This cne punch caused damage to Crouse, which was apparent throughout, for at times there seemed to be a lacK or co-operation b'-tween his mind and muscles: he missed opportunities presented.

But this damage was not sufficient to impair his tffectivem'ss, for he made Chip miss swings time and again through his feinting and ability to employ excellent footwork. Crouse sent in his punches straight, and he used the one-two punch quite frequently. His punches were well directed, and he had steam back of them for he hurt Chip more than once. Croue did the ureater part of the leading. Chip again shewed his gameness by not breaking ground when stung, and he never showed a disposition' to break, but instead was ever willing to i i 1 Ball Players Packing Their Bags For Annual Migration Southward Joe M'Carthy May Succeed Bill Clymer Second Baseman to Be Plaving Manager of Bisons Derby Bill Goes to New York.

HAS SHOWN ABILITY Srscui. Tilbuv to Ths Uazbtts Timss.1 BUFFALO, X. Feb. 22. Joe Mc- I Carthy, the fighting second baseman of the) Bisons, is the iiueiy successor to Bill Clymer as manager of the herd, if the Internationals succeed in transferring the Jersey City franchise to the Bronx.

Tf tha trsner oi ir the tiansfer of the Skeeters to Xpr York is put throujrh snd Presi deut Stein of the Bisons thinks It will be Clymer will manage the New York Internationals, which will be one of the best teams in the league. President -Stein said last night that If Clymer goes to another city his successor will be a playing manager and If any member of last year's herd is chosep, Joe McCarthy will be that man. McCarthy before he came to the Bisons was manager and captain of the Wilkes-Barre team in the State League, which Clymer owned. McCarthy finished In second place and showed that he has the traits of character as well as the knowledge of the game which go to make a successful leader. Last season was his first summer in Buffalo and there is no question but that he made a hit with the local fans.

His work was always marked by the fighting pep and aggressiveness which George Stalllngs likes to see and which go a long way in winning games. There is no question but that his selection as Clymer's successor would be a wise move. According to the list of men to whom contracts have been mailed the Bison roster this season will Include all the old guard with the exception of Roxey Roach and Bobby Vaughn, who have jumped to the Feds. Lore Bader, Chic Brandom. Fred Beebe.

Fulenwider and Ty Tyson are the pitchers who have been e.sked to attach, their monickers to contracts. The infield list includes King Lehr, Joe McCarthy and Carl-strom. President Stein indicated that Lehr again would be the regular first baseman and Carlstrom would be used as a utility lnlielder. lie has lines out for a shortstop and third baseman to succeed Boach and Vautrhn. "Next week we expect the big fellows to start cutting town their candidates and this will put st our disposal a lot of good men," said Stein.

No Bucco flayers are involved in the transaction, the local management buying the elongated first aacker for a cash consideration, which was not male public. Johnson has also accepted terms offered and will sign a contract. It was announced, several days ago that the Cleveland club had asked Tisuvers on the player. After all the I lubs In the Johnson circuit waived claim. President Somers of the Cleve- club offered to sell hlra to Drey fuss, i The Bucco boss held the deal open I until he got into communication with the player.

Yesterday afternoon a tele- (tram was roceived from Johnson accepting terms offered. Mr. Drey funs called the Cleveland magnate by telephone and closed the deal. Played Here A gainmt Pit at em. Pirate fans had a chance to see Johnson In 1913, when the Cleveland and Pittsburgh clubs played an intercity aeries after the regular season.

Johnson made a fine impression here and was a blue factor in the Naps' success in that series. He led his team In hitting' and proved to be one of the cleverest fielders seen on Forbes Field during the year. Johnson made a decided hit with Forbes Field fans and his return will be welcomed. The season of 1914 proved a bad one for Johnson. The Cleveland club finished a bad last and the entire team was going poorly throughout the sea- son.

It Is said of Johnson, that he plays betters bull with a winner. For the Naps last season he took part in 103 games, was at bat 340 times, scored 43 runs, stole 14 bases and had a batting average of .244. He had a fielding average of .97. Johnson bats and throws with his left hand. Wagner Is slated for the first base Job, but should Johnson show his 1913 form a change probably will be made, shifting the German Flotilla to some other position.

If Viox is played in the outfield Wagner may be placed at jimmy a place at second oase. enori-- arnn in hard nnautintl tit nl and the train of an entire season there would tell on the 41-year-old star. Hernog Sign Tommy Imca. If Wagner is shifted to second base he could ease up a bit. The big German has proven time and again he is equally at home In any position in the Infield or outfield for that matter.

Clarke will have, according to present plans, youngsters at the shortstop and thlnd base positions, and it wouldn't be a bad Idea to have the veteran as a Bide kick for the youngsters. Gerber and Balrd are the players picked for the positions. Gerber showed sufficient promise in the contests at the fag end of last season here to warrant his retention in the infield. Balrd Is touted a sure comer. It would be hard for fans all over the country to think the German Is through as a regular, but perish the thought.

Charley Herzog was Here yesterday and signed Tommy Leach to a contract for his Cincinnati club. Herzog and the Pittsburgh Feds had been dickering with the little outfielder, who was released by the Cubs several days ago, but Herzog's offer was better than Cakes' and Tommy accepted. The contract, according to the announcement, is for a year. Herzog arrived here yesterday morning and met Leach shortly after in a downtown hotel. After an hour's conference matters were adjusted satisfactorily for both parties.

The hustling Red manager is pleased with his new outfielder. He plans to play Leach In middle field. "Leach is just the man I need for the outfield. A veteran, who can shift the other men around. Last year it was all I could dojurnlng around and placing my outer gardeners and looking after the infield.

Tommy will prove a big help," was the comment Herzog made. Oakum Shift Training Plan. The Rhineland manager would not pick his team as a pennant winner but thinks It will be up near the top. lie has a lot of faith the ability of young Schneider, a tall pitcher secured late last fall from the coast. He also entertains hopes of making a star player out of Von Kolnltz, he youngster he converted from a catcher to ar, lnflelder.

He banks on Olson as his third sacker. Herzog claims the championship in the travelling league. "Talk about Donovan and Huggins, why I can spot them 6,000 mile and still beat them to the tape. 1 have been all over the signing ball players and preventing them from jumping," said Herzog. He left for Cincinnati last night and will leave some time today for Alexandria, the training camp of the Beds.

Manager Oakes of the Pittfeds announced yesterday he would head a squad of players to Augusta, the Rebel training camp, next Sunday. It -was the intention of the Kebel leader not to leave before March 9, but many of his players are becoming a bit anxious for action, and he has decided to go a little ahead of the scheduled 'time. The players to leave in the ud- bunch have not been selected yet. Head" Xtogies. 2 for ac.
