BILLY PAPKE ACCUSED OF HITTING OTfllCK NEW MURKS ARE SET AT DETROITJTOURNAMEHT Fisher Boosts Individual Total to 660 Two-Man Score Is Now Wmi'ntHWt'l I mirniliniWimfiimMMiiiiMMa I 954-956 Liberty Ave illllllllllHiilllliHIJIIIIIIIiHIIIhu EASTERN STABLES ARE PREPARING FOR SEASON. Thoroughbreds Limbering Up on Long Island Tracks, SPECIAL TO THE PITTSBURGH POST. NEW YORK, March 6. Horses were trotting and cantering at all of the Long Island race tracks to-day, and many noted turfmen were on hand to see them. The going was comparatively soft, because of the heavy rains week, and the trainers said that If the present spell of fine weather continues the horses will be in splendid trim for the Aqueduct meeting.

At Belmont Park the Montpelir stables' string, Including the $10,000 Olambala, enjoyed the rresii air. James MacManus' Rocky O'Brien and several two-year-olds were also shown. W. C. Hayes, Silas Veitch and William liogan have numerous Jumpers at the Queens track.

The biggest string at Gravesend Is that trained by Thomas Welsh for August Belmont, the New Castle stable, Robert Forsythe Little, Thomas Moni-han and others. There are more than 40 horses in Welsh's care, many of them superb looking two-year-olds, who are being prepared for early races. Then, at Sheepshead Bay. S. C.

Hildredth has the usual formidable lot, including King James, Joe Madden, Dalmatian, Firestone. Restlgouche, Livonia and others who were ins-ide of the sheds to-day, apparently as well as ever. James W. Rowe has made an early etart with James R. Keer.i's big stable, and says the two-year-olds will come up to the standard.

Fitzherbert, who will near the Madden colors, has wintered well, and Trainer Frank Taylor says the great horse may start in the Metropolitan handicap, in May. FL00RBALL RACE IS NOW ON THE HOMESTRETCH. The next fioorball game at the Auditorium roller rink in the East End i scheduled for Wednesday night between the Shadysldes and Pirates. With the end of the season so close at hand the game is attracting more than the usual amount of interest, as a victory fur Captain Wentworth's boys will put them but half a game in back of the Quakers. As the Quakers rre scheduled to line up against the Duquesnes on Friday night, the Shadysides have a chance of tying for first place, providing the Duquesnes can conquer their opponents.

With the exception of their defeat last Friday at. the hands of the Duquesnes the Pirates have been winning rather regularly and are held favorites by many. They appear to have the Indian pign on the Shadysides, as of th four defeats sustained by the champions two have been credited to the Buccaneers. STANDING OF THE CLUBS. CENTRAL LEAGUE TO MEET ONE WEEK FROM TO-DAY.

Many Schedules Will Be Submitted When Magnates Go in Session, SPECIAL TO TO.E PITTSBURGH POST. SOUTH BEND. March 6. Not less than twoscore of schedules will be submitted to the Central league magnates when they meet at Dayton on March 14, but as every club owner and manager will have been supplied with a copy of each draught previous to the meeting. It is anticipated that the weeding out of the undesirable charts will take but little time.

Therefore, it is expected the annual meeting will not consume more than one day. Although the Central league season will not open until May, a week later than usual, the players under contract to the eight clubs will be required to report on April 1. Heavy schedules of ante-season games have been arranged by all the managers, and when the opening date arrives the teams should be in excellent condition. All of the clubs have from a dozen to 20 games listed previous to the opening of the season, but only one schedule that of South Bend has been announced. Wheeler's Bronchos will play just 12 games, two with Toledo at Toledo on April 7 and two with Notre Dame on April 12 and 2.

Jiggs Donahoe's semi-on April and 17; Battle Creek, of the Southern Michigan league, on April 23 and 24; Duluth on April 25 and 2fi. On April 10 and May 1 major league teams will be the attractions. POLISH WRESTLER WILL TRY TO THROW THREE. A change was made necessary in the program for the Zbyszko wrestling show at Duquesne Garden Wednesday night, March 9, when word was received late Saturday night that Leo Pardello, the Italian, would be unable to appear here owing to illness. Manager Thomas Scan-Ion immediately got busy on the wire and yesterday closed arrangements whereby he believes a better program than the original has been arranged.

ln addition to Mort Henderson, who writes from New York that he now tips the beam at 215 pounds, Adolph Specht. the 210-pound champion, and Paul Pons, of New Orleans, the best known French wrestler in the world, have been engaged to try their luck with Zbyszko. Pons weighs 240 pounds, which is five pounds more tharl the Polish champion, and is a dangerous competitor for any wrestler. Zbyszko agrees to throw all three men in one hour. Seldom has any champion in any line of athletics taken on so huge a task as that which Zbyszko declares he will be able to accomplish with ease.

And there are hundreds of Polish residents in Pittsburgh who are willing to back Zbyszko to the limit that he will throw all three men within the time limit specified. r- JOHNNY C0UL0N LANDS KNOCKOUT IN NINETEENTH. Defeats Jem Kenrick, of England, Second Time Within Three Weeks, BY ASSOCIATED IRESS. NEW ORLEANS, March 8. Johnny Coulon, bantamweight champion, scored a knockout in tho nineteenth round of his battle with Jem the English claimant of this title, this afternoon.

This Is Couion's second victory over Kendricks within three weeks. In the first match he was given the decision at the end of the tenth round. A crowd of about 10.000 people crowded the West Athletic club arena, at Mc-Donoughvllle, just across the river from New Orleans, and shouted themselves hoarse when the American put the tired Britisher down and practically out with a ripiit jolt over the heart. Kenrick PtaRpered to his feet in a tottering condition, just before the referee counted him out. It was apparent, however, that he had been linished and the fight was awarded, to Ooulon.

For the first five rounds the bout was fast and spirited, with honors even. After the fifth round Coulon began to wear his opponent out and in the sixteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth rounds he was floored repeatedly. Coulon finished the fight unmarked, and to all appearances as fresh as when he started. to Take Charge of Battery Squad, RALPH CUTTING ARRIVES. Howard Camnitz Expected to Be In Line and Join Party To-Morrow, To-morrow night will see the advance guard of the world's champions off for their spring training trip preparatory to the opening of the 1910 campaign.

Catcher George Gibson, who will assume the leadership of the squad, is expected in the city to-day from his home, in Lon-don, and will immediately gather together the battery men who are now here. The latest Pirate to arrive In town is Ralph Cutting, he getting in yesterday. Cutting is the young pitcher drafted from the Brockton club of the New England league. The players who wiir leave to-morrow evening are Catchers Gibson. Pat O'Connor and Eddie Bridges, and Pitchers Deacon Phlllippe, Sam Frock, Nick Maddox, Bill Powell, Willis Humphries, Cutting and Charley Webb.

Those who are not already in the city are expected to-day. When the squad arrives at West Baden they will find the rest of the battery heavers already there. Manager Fred Clarke is expected in town Wednesday to remain until next Monday, when he will head the remaining squad for the Indiana watering place. Nothing has been heard from Howard Camnitz, but though only one day remains for him to Join the advance squad, he is expected to be in town for the departure. It is claimed that he has finally decided to sign the contract offered by President Dreyfuss and will join the party on its way South.

Manager McGutre is pulling for Clark Griffith to do things in the National league this year, and he thinks that the "Old Fox" will give Cincinnati a first division team, one that will hustle the Pirates, the Cubs and Giants. "Griff Is a mighty good fellow and a great manager," says the leader of the Naps. "He Is peculiar in some ways and may make mistakes, but he is always trying to get the best results and the most successful managers are the ones who do not stick to set rules. He developed two or three live ones last season and he is liable to do the same thing again this year. With the experience that Egan, Bescher, Hoblitzel, Downey and Casper had in 1909 they are bound to prove valuable men." Charlie Gettig.

a clever old player, able to go into any position, and- a Giant for a little while in the long ago, was in the Eastern Carolina league last season. Some difference between that region and the Polo grounds. Two other players, Walter Brodle and Pat Meaney, were in the same little league. Team No. 1, of the Chicago Americans, together with Charles A.

Comiskey. Ban Johnson, president of the American league, and Norris O'Neil, president of the Western league, arrived in San Francisco Saturday nighfcr The second team went direct to Los Angeles by way of Sacramento. Mike Donlin is playing the I-will and I-won't game to a frazzle. On Sunday, Tuesday. Thursday and Saturday morning he announces that he will surely play Vail this season, while on Monday, Wednesday.

Friday and Saturday evenings he says his theatrical dates will interfere. Eli Cates, a pitcher, who was In the American league 10 years ago, hurled for a Wisconsin league team last season. Jimmy Hughey, who had several big league trials as far back as 1895, was in the Southern Michigan league. Twenty men are now under contract with the Youngstown team, of the O. P.

learue, not including the new manager, Frank J. Eustace. Besides these there are a numher of last year's team who have not yet signed. President Murphy, of the Chicago Cubs, is still trying to induce the National commission to reinstate Catcher Kline. The commission will take no action until Ban Johnson returns from California, in about two weeks.

While many critics pick the Boston Tteds for the holy terrors of this year's American leaenie campaign, others think the team reached Its best condition last year and will not do nearly as well again. Liuderus. a Wisconsin league plaver, has supplanted Del Howard as official Riih' for Frank Chance. The. Wisconsin man hit .321 last year and looked very good in a few games he played for the Cubs.

Joe Nealon and Tommv Sheehan certainly stick together. They came from the coast together years ago, played at Pittsburgh together, are now on the same team in California once more. The passlne: of Jimmy Williams and Hobe Ferr's from the fast comoany was oddly simultaneous. Two hustling, scrappy players thev were, too, during their big league career. Wallace Is playing- third in the Browns practice games.

Tf he still has the steam lie miwht a well stav on third, for he was alwavs even better on that corner than at 6hort. Can Bresnahan v-t more work out of Corridon than Murray could. This pitcher Is a winner, but doesn't work often and Roger will try to stir him up a trifle. Tn an exhibition e-ame at Fort Worth. Tex.

the New York Nationals defeated the Fort Worth team yesterday by a score of 7 to 0. rjeamn Jim McGuIre. warmed bv the Foft, Southern sun. threatens to get in the game himself this season. The TTotiRton Texas league team defeated the St.

T.onis Americans yesterday at Houston, 4 to 1. The Detroit Americans defeated the San Antonio team yesterday, 9 to 2. Erne Beats Mickey Gannon. PHTIjADET.PB'TA. March 6.

Toung Erne, th Gray's Ferry lad. who has made trouble for all the lightweights in ihe Ekt. again roved his superiority over Mickey Gannon, the former Pittsburgh walloper, by outpointing him in six rounds at the National A. C. last night.

It was their second meeting this season. Mickey lost before and -wanted another chance. He got it. and along with It came another beating. There was not a round In which Erne did not have the best of the milling.

He jabbed Mickev almost at will, and In the dos-lriEX rounds had his opponent in bad shape, Gannon's best work was done in the Infighting, but Erne used his head enough to keen away from that sort of snapping. Many of Gannon's blows went wide of the mark, and Erne usually responded with a few fast jabs. Hatpin to Send Great Team. The New York Athletic club relay team, which is to meet the Chicago Athletic association team In- a special mile race as a feature of the second annual indoor meet of the Pittsburgh Athletic association at Duquesne Garden on Saturday evening. April 9, will probably be made up of Gissing.

Egan. McEntee and Bacon. This quartet has been chosen by Captain Matt Halpln to wear the colors of the winged foot-aggregation In a race agalnet the Boston A. A. in the annual games of the Mercury Foot organization at Madison Square Garden on March 15, and it is likely that they will be sent hre.

These four men constitute probably the speediest quartet in the East, and it Is an assured fact that great time will be recorded when they oppose the Cherry Circle runners at Garden. With the Fort Pitt indoor athletic meet but five days off, and few details yet to be completed, indications point to the greatest affair of its kind in the history of athletics in this city. As announced by the officials in charge, the entry list was closed Saturday, and only those bearing the postmark of March 6 were accepted. There were a large number of these, for nearly every event on the program was included. There is.

bound to be a lot of interest manifested in the events in which the college relay teams compete, as it will be the first opportunity they have had this year to demonstrate what they are able to do. A struggle Is promised between the University of Pittsburgh, Carnegie Tech, Washington and Jefferson. Indiana Normal, Fort Pitt club, Pittsburgh Athletic association, Pittsburgh Lyceum and the Central Turnverein for the handsome silver cup offered to the college or club scoring the highest number of points.

Bush Still a Holdout. DETROIT, March 6. The champion Tiger team of the American league may have to struggle through the season without the services of wee Ownie Bush, of Indianapolis, their sensational shortstop, who practically made the Detroit's infield in the fall of 1908. Ownle arrived here this morning, had a talk with President Navln, and again refused to sign. Neither Navin nor Bush will say much.

Bush thinks that without his services or someone equally as good the Tigers would be shy two pennants and he wants a financial reward. Navln concedes the youngster's worth, but holds that he should not consider himself yet flrmlv 1 established as a big leaguer. With One More Player Tri-State Tigers Could Start SPECIAL TO THE PITTSBURGH POST. TRENTON, N. March 6.

If Manager George Heckert had his first base problem settled the Trenton Tri-State league club could go out on the field tomorrow and play ball. Everything is breaking in the most satisfactory manner for th club, and the stockholders are pleased with every move the "Foxy" George has made. The intield is working out in great shape, and if the ante-season signs count for anything, the fans here will have no kick on this end of the club. The awarding of Quinn to Trenton was about the best news of the past week. Quinn, after accepting Trenton's terms by letter, signed with Manager Monte Cross, of Scranton.

thinking lie was still free. He was later informed that his letter to Mr. Heckert was as binding aa a contract. Baseball-wise men generally admit that Hooper, bought from Altoona. is a good man.

Ashen bach, manager of Altoona last season, says Hooper is a fine all-around player, and every time he appeared in Trenton he bore out this opinion. With Quinn and Hooper scrambling for second base, the Tigers will be Btrong there when the battle is finally settled. It may be that Quinn may go over to shortstop if Hooper ia selected for second. Matthews Is the other candidate for shortstop in case "Sonny" Price sticks to his determination to keep out of baseball and care for his Texas farm. Sund-heim is the only man for third, and Manager Heckert need look no further.

The outfield has been definitely settled during the last week. Swayne, who had been a holdout, sent word to Manager Heckert that ha would surely play ball in Trenton, even if his contract was for a lower figure than last season. He likes the town and feels that he can get higher after this season. Murray and Clay have been certainties ail along, so that makes the outfield complete. Baseball critics generally will admit that with six such players as Sundheim, Quinn, Hooper, Clay Swayne and Murray on the team, Trenton should cut some figure In the Tri-State race this season.

Trenton has nine pitchers signed, but the most likely are Kull, Topiiam and Northrup. There are some others who look likely enough, but these three are particularly good, with Edrnondson next in line. Kerr and Harkins will probably be the catchers. Kerr has had a lot of experience, while last season was the first for Harkins. AMONG THE BOXERS'.

Jack Fitzgerald, of Philadelphia, and Tony Ross, of New Castle, have been matched for a 12-round go at New Castle March 14. Fitzgerald ia a new fighter, who goes at 19u pounds, and has been punching all comers about Philadelphia. The principal reason for the great interest taken in the coming battle between Frank Klaus and Stanley Ketchel at Duquesne Garden on March 17 tSt. Patrick's day), is the fact that it promises to be a real mill, and not a stalling match. The affair," which is being conducted by the National Sporting club, is not a cas of matching a mediocre local fighter with a champion, who expects an easy victim, and enters the ring totally out of condition.

If there is any doubt in the mind of any of the local fighters as to the ability of Mike Malone, the boy who meets Young Ziringer at Duquesne Garden, they can win some fame and money by covering a forfeit of $100 posted at this office by Eddie Holland, the backer and manager of Malone. The Philadelphia boy's manager thinks so well of the boy who twice went to a draw with Pal Moore that he is ready to bet anything up to $500 that his fighter can whip anybody in this neck of the woods up to 122 pounds. In a letter to a friend ln this country an American ln London produces evidence that Packey McFavland accepted an offer of a $7,500 purse from the National Sporting club, of that city, and agreed to have Eugene Corrl referee a proposed 2o-round bout with Freddie Welsh, the English lightweight champion, the weight to be 135 pounds six hours before ring time, but that Welsh objected to Corri and refused to make the match. Welsh offered to fight McFarland in Wales for a $15,000 purse, with a referee who was objectionable to the Chicago pugilist. The London "Sportsman," by the way, referred to the recent Nelson-Woigast battle as a fight for "the American lightweight championship," though Nelson when he entered the ring was the recognized world's champion at the weight.

Sunday was not a day of rest for Jimmy Mason's fighting stable, for in view of the hard battles in which they are to engrage to-morrow night they could not afford to run the risk of a loss of form by letting up in their training. Accordingly Young Ziringer, Buck Crouse, Battling Connors and Red Robinson worked just as bard as on any other day, and with some more strenuous sessions to-day they will be sure to enter the ring to-morrow night in the downstairs section of Duquesne Garden fit to go tho whole distance at their fastest and hardest clip. It is the general opinion that they are wise in taking these precautions, for there is more than ordinary danger involved ln meeting men like Mike Malone, the Philadelphia crack who is matched with Ziringer; Ralph Erne, another Quaker City top-notcher, who is to oppose Buck Crouse, and Battling Johnson, the husky Los Angeles negro, who goes against Battling Connors. Pitt Track Men Out This Week. With the prospects of some weather suitable for outdoor track practice, the University of Pittsburgh candidates expect to make up for lost time this week.

The university will be represented in the Fort Pitt A. C. and P. A. A.

meets at Duquesne Garden, and these are expected to give Coach Joe Thompson a pretty good line on his men for the following meets. A decision as to whether a team will be sent to the Penn relay games at Philadelphia has not yet been reached, the matter still being under advisement. The fact that W. J. has decided to remain away from the games may have an important bearing on the matter, as Pitt was anxious to meet the red and black relaiists oa a neutral trac Thunderbolt Alleged to Have Floored Willie Lewis' Manager, SPECIAL TO THE PITTSBURGH POST.

PARIS, March 6. Billy Papke, the Illinois thunderbolt, who came into Paris with a flourish of trumpets, hailed as the world's champion at the middleweight, will beat a hasty retreat, a discredited person, with his fellow Americans and new found Paris admirers who turned out to welcome him, sneering at the mere mention of his nam. The sudden change in the aspect of things was brought about by a cowardly and unprovoked assault committed by Papke on the small body of Dan McKet-trick, whom he laid low with a vicious and most cowardly blow dealt from behind on the darkened stage of the Theater Femina the other night. Papke, with Willie Lewis, Harry Lewis, Al Kublak and other American boxero, were the stars of a benefit boxing show given in aid of the flood sufferers in the Theater Femina. The boxers gave exhibitions that pleased immensely, and, following the bouts, Mr.

McKetrJck, who had secured a set ot films of the Johnson-Ketchel battle of last October, gave Parisians their first view of the slaughter of the Michigan boy by the big black. The stage was filled with pugilists when the pictures were being shown, and as many of the fighters had not seen them they were watching the every move of the two men on the canvas. A number of leading Paris business men were among the hundreds or more persons on the stage, and Ai Lippe and McKetrick were explaining the merits ot the two fighters and the different blows to them. Lippe explained that Ketchel. despite his defeat, was still the middleweight champion, whereupon McKetrick told Lippe to keep quiet, as.

they were advertising Papke as the champion over here and that it would not do to boom Ketchel too much just now. Lippe got his cue and kept quiet so far as the championship was concerned, but a moment later was explaining the Ketchel shift and said that it was with this that Ketchel knocked out most or his men. It was here that Papke broke ln and showed himself. He had just come from his dressing room after his exhibition bout, and, hearing some one remark that he had copied the Ketchel shift with success, objected. In the darkness he made for the man nearest him, who happened to be little Dan McKetrick, who weighs 110 pounds.

"I won't allow arty one to knock me. I am the middleweight champion and don't copy any one's style," Papke said, and before McKetrick could explain that he had not said a word. Papke let go a terrific lefthander, which landed on Mc-Ketrick's cheek and knocked him uot, cutting an ugly gash which required four stitches. McKetrick sank unconscious to the floor and before the others could realize it Papke sneaked away In the darkness. The indignation of the other pugilists knew no bounds, and in litCe groups they began to search for Papke.

vowing to give him a sound trouncing for his cowardly deed The officials of the Scie Societe de Propagation De La Box, who brought Papke to France, are in a high state ot indignation, and at a meeting will probably cancel his engagement. Meanwhile ttiey Insist that McKetrick fcring civil action against the fighter and things may go very badly or Papke here. BIG EASTERN COLLEGES WANT LEAGUE REVIVED. Intercollegiate Basket Ball Organization May Be FoTmed-Again, SPECIAL TO THE PITTSBURGH POST. NEW YORK, March 6.

A meeting of representatives of four university basket ball teams was held to-day at the Murray Hill Hotel, with the idea of discussing the revival of the old Intercollegiate Basket Ball league. Yale, Princeton, Pennsylvania and Columbia were representedColumbia by C. W. Cuthell and W. MacRosie: Pennsylvania by Ral; Morgan and Powell Browning; Yale by James Finnehy and J.

E. Roland, and Princeton by F. R. Craven and Blackburn Hughes. There was a discussion of a tentative schedule.

Including these four as members, but nothing definite in the way of an organization could be done by those present to-day, because of the heed of referring everything first to athletic associations and later faculty athletic committees. Hope was expressed that Cornell might be got in and that 'Harvard might later on take up the game again and re-enter the league when formed. There seemed to be reasonable amount of security that there would be a big four league next season. This will be determined at a meeting to be held on April 10. There is small likelihood New York university or Swarthmore, or other strong teams of the sort, joining this association.

One of the representatives said that he had heard some time-before the meeting that the colleges of various grades will form leagues, a championship' series to be played among league champions.

Matthew Long. 12 years old, of 1907 Webster avenue, was badly bitten about the face yesterday afternoon while playing in front of his home, by a St. Bernard dog, belonging to Charles Bieler, of Webster avenue.
