The Giants defeated Boston here today in a hard hitting game by a score of 7 to 1 Donnelly held the Giants mltbout a hit in the first four innings, but they pounded him hard in the filth and sixth, when they did all their scoring. The core: ere Is every reason to believe that fore another 10 days roll by the club will strike its gait. Look at BT ASSOCIATED PRESS. NEW YORK. April McFarland.

who was introduced tonight, at Madison Square Garden, as Chicaos flshtlnr Irishman, administered a severe drubbing to England's lightweight champion. Matt Wells. The man went tea rounds, and while McFarland was a 10 to 7 favorite, nobody thought that his task would be so easy. Wells was a deeded disappointment, the Englishman's much-heralded cleverness not being in evidence after the opening- round. iMcFarland.

at all stages, was cool and collected, while Wells lost his head early in the game. Packey Jabbed, swung and uppercut his man at will from the opening of the second round till the final clang of the "bell ended the tenth round, and Wells made, frantic efforts to land a telling blow, but Packey invariably made him miss by elever side-stepping and ducking.

Stack pitched a grand fame for Brooklyn and beat his old teammates, the Phillies, by the score of 6 to 2. The score: end with Packey's unremitting stinging Jabs and uppercuts. It was a one-sided fight, and McFarland upheld everything that his friends had claimed for him. It was estimated that about 9.000 persons were in the house and that the receipts will be over $30,000. ROUND ONE Wella tried a left swing, but missed and then landed left to the body.

Packey feinted and put his left on the neck. Both were wary. Packey made Wells miss twice and sent Matt against the ropes, laadllng right and left lightly, on the head. They exchanged lefts on the body. Packey sent a right to the wind.

to those who had sized up both men beforehand. That Packey would come out a winner was the belief of nearly every fan in the country, but they did not think he would have such an easy time of it. Reading round by round it will be found that the Briton failed to show much class, la all probability McFarland could have scored even more heavily had he extended himself from stort to finish. As It was. he saw in the early part of the argument that he would have a soft snap and rdid not cut loose, being satisfied with winning on points.

Carry IHart Favored. SLOWLY but surely the major league clubs are abiding by the wishes of their patrons la one -respect. Ball games that have usually been schedule) for 3: 30 and 4 o'clock are now starting 13 minutes to half an hour earlier. The latest magnate to announce his decision Is Charles Ebbets. of Brooklyn.

Yesterday the owner of the Dodger crew gave out the statement that hereafter the games would commence at 3:30 every day with the exception of Saturday when the umpire would call play at 3 o'clock. Hithertofore ball games In Brooklyn started at 4 o'clock. Baseball is exceedingly popular with the masses, but a goosi hot dinner goes it one better. Win Hank Vpnet Precedent? Montreal at Newark.

Umpires Owens and Brennan. Another Forbes Field game was prs-vented yesterday, by bad weather, making five postponements In which the Pirates have figured during the 16 daya that have elapsed since the National league season was launched. Thus far every other day in the week has witnessed a postponement for the Pittsburgh club. A game was played on Sunday in Chicago, but' on Monday, rain caused the matinee to be called off. On Tuesday the farewell fray in Cubland was brought off, but on "Wednesday the weather gave the Buccaneers and Reds an idle day in this city.

They were permitted to clash on Thursday, but next day it rained and nothing was doing. Both the Pirates and Reds were eager to pley yesterday. Hank O'Day's men are going at their best and are anxious to increase their lead as rapidly as possible, for they fully realize that this is just the time to hop after any team that is in a slump. The Corsairs too. are aware that they are sadly in need of practice.

Morning drills on the home pasture are especially desired and these will be the order of the forenoon whenever the club Is at home and the weather will permit. Fred Clarke Heeds Warning. Fred Clarke consulted with the weather man yesterday and was assured that more rain was certain to fall during the afternoon. He therefore decided to take no chances and play was called off. Both teams had turned out, but only light practice was indulged In.

Some of the Cincinnati boys started kidding their rivals about refusing to play ball because they were afraid of getting beaten. Clarke's action proved wise after all, for the shower resumed operations at 3:30 and kept up a constant downpour the rest of the day. According to predictions It Is likely that showers will fall this morning, but there are indications that the afternoon will be fair, in which case a game of ball will be played at 3 o'clock on Forbes field. The canvas cover waa kept over the infield during yesterday's rains and the ground should be in excellent shape for a contest. Distinguished Guests Expected.

Lawmakers and dignitaries of two nations will watch the Pirates and Reds clash at Forbes Field today, provided BALL PLAYERS SEE 0RA MORNINGSTAR'S EXHIBITION HANS Sunday night.

I'll propose and et a ring at loftis Bros, on credit. it was McFarland's round. ROUND FIVE. Packey was very cool while Wells face bore an anxious look. Packey sent his left repeatedly to the nose and mouth and hooked two short rights to tho fcead.

Wella was wild in hla swings and clinched frequently. He played for the body, but Packey drove him back with left jabs to the face and short right hooks and uppercuts to the body. Packey landed rights and left on the face three times alternately end this was his round also by a big margin. ROUND SIX. Wells was up against a series of lefts and rights to the face as soon as he came to the center of the ring.

McFarland hitting him at will. The fighting was all don by McFarland. who. when Wells would crowd htm. stepped back, sent right and left to face, with Wells scarcely miking a return.

Wells covered up repeatedly, but Packey made him undo this wMh hard right uppercuts. McFarland's round. ROUND SEVEN. McFarland opened with a rirht upper-cut to the chest. Wells landing a light left hook on the wind.

After a few light exchanges. Packey went for hla man again whh lefts and rights and Wells was cautioned for holding. Packey kept up his provoking jabbing and Jabbing with the left, put over two hard ones on the head. Wells was cautioned by tho referee again, this time for hitting in the breakaway. McFarland just played with him until the sound of the gong.

McFarland's round. ROUND EIGHT. Paekey met Wella with a straight left as he was coming In and then drove hira back with two hard uppercuts and a right smash to the face. Wells was unable to lend a clean blow, while Packey tantalised him with lefts on the face and right hand slaps and An occasional slap with the back of the glove. Packey.

forcing the fighting, put Wells to a stand-stilt with a rain of right uppercuts and left jabs. Wells swung wildly and Packey simply sidestepped or ducked safely and kept up a running fire of jabs and uppercuts till the end of the round. McFarland's round. ROUND NINE. 'Wells rushed to a clinch in which he got In short lefts and rights to the body, but McFarland only laughed.

Packey took matters easy at this stage and Jabbed half a dozen lefts to the face. Wells made frantic efforts to get back, but Packey drove him back with lefts and three right smashes on the Jaw. bursting Wells left ear. Paokev SHOULD Hank O'Day pilot his Red brigade to victory this season, say. Into the first Jivlslon.

he will upset precedent, for. although many umpires have tried their hands at managing a ball club, none has succeeded. Tim Hurst thought he could turn out a winner at SU. Louis 10 years ago. but it didn't take him long to realise that he was badly mistaken.

O'Day was a good umpire, la fact, the best In the country for many years, and so he should know ike game and players alike. And. furthermore, he should make a success of his new job.

July 5. Cincinnati will be the attraction here on Independence day in morning and afternoon games and the fifth having been an open date, it was chosen for filling In with the fray that failed to materialize yesterday. This will give the Pirates and Reds a series of four games in three days In Pittsburgh at that time. After today's game, both teams wltl hustle for Cincinnati where they are scheduled to play tomorrow and Monday. Tuesday will be an open date, but Wednesday will find the Pirates back on their own lot for a four-game series with the Cubs.

Fred Clarke will take 13 players along. In addition to himself, on the trip to Redland. Secretary Locke, three war correspondents and Trainer Laforce will increase the baseball party to 24 people. Peitz and His Famous Laugh. Henry J.

Peitz. the famous old catcher, who Is now coaching for the Cincinnati Reds, paid a friendly visit at the office of the Pittsburgh Baseball club yesterday. He looks fully as rugged today as he did when he formed the receiving end of the Breltenstein-Peitz combinationone of the greatest batteries of it time. Heinle's coaching is considered one of the big factors in the present winning streak of the Rdlegs, an'l Manager O'Day evidently made a wia move in signing him. He still possesses his sharp voice that penetrates every part of the playing field, and his sarcastic and cutting laugh is always sprun? at a moment when the opposing site must observe great care to prevent a rise of temper.

Peitz does not resort to profanity, but merely keps plugging away with that derisive laugh which has more than once been known to rattle a pitcher. It sometimes grates upon the nerves of an umpire, too, but of course the arbiter could not logically find fault with a fit of laughter if judiciously handled, and the former Pittsburgh back, stop knows exactly when to spring th-J the giggle in order make it effective.
