PBE-SM GAMES ON
NEW YORK AMERICANS AND
BROOKLYN NATIONALS FIRST.
Nearly 100 Exhibition Contests to
Be Played Before League Clubs
Begin Pennant Battles.
NEW YORK, March 12. The open
ing contest in the annual ante-season
interleague games between the base
ball teams of the major circuits will
be played in Jacksonville, Fla., today,
weather permitting, when the New
York Americans and the Brooklyn Na
tionals meet In the first match of a
long series. Other 'Combinations will
quickly follow suit and by the middle
of the month more than half of the
teams composing the National and
American leagues will be engaged in
these pre-season games.
Fully twice as many contests of
this type have been scheduled than
was the case a year ago ana it is
probable that close to a hundred such
exhibition games will be played be
fore the clubs line up for their Initial
pennant battles on April 14. The site
of conflict stretches throughout the
south and southwest while the home
ward trip at the close of southern
training, will be sprinkled with
similar games.
In these games the modern base
ball manager and club secretary have
found a way in which to partially
cut down the heavy cost incidental to
training trips in which parties of
more than 40 husky athletes have to
be transported and quartered at the
expense of the club. hlle the aver
age gate receipts do not compare with
those of major league pennant games,
the income from the contests is not
so small as to be ignored, and in ad
dition the games give baseball fans
of the far south their only opportun
ity to see famous diamond stars in
action.
A list of some of the more important
games follows:
RINGSIDE, COLISEUM, Toledo, O,
March 12. Jimmy Wilde of England,
British flyweight boxing champion
tonight decisively outpointed Frankie
Mason of Fort Wayne, Ind., the
American aspirant to the world's
title.
Throughout the battle the plucky
Briton was the aggressor. He car
ried the fight In all but one round,
the fifth, when Mason braced himself
and put the Englishman on the de
fensive. Two of the rounds were
even, the fourth and tenth.
The ring, which was 21 feet square,
gave the little American plenty of
room to jump away from the pressing
Britisher.
Blood Dram by Wilde.
Mason started to bleed from the
mouth early in the battle, but he wore
a smile of confidence, while the little
Briton, from the time he entered the
ring, seemed set and determined.
Time after time, Mason, when
urged on by his enthusiasts, at
tempted to break through the Brit
isher's guard, but the plucky little
Briton dodged, feinted, shifted and re
taliated with a right and left, chasing
the American about the ring.
After the fight. Referee Smith de
clared never in his life had he seen a
young fellow or any fighter who was
o willing to carry or mix matters as
Wilde. Smith was of the opinion that
it was a very even match, but de
clared on the rules of the commission
he was not at liberty to announce the
winner. I
Neither Boxer Shakes Hands.
Mason stepped through the ropes
first at 10 P. M., closely followed by
Wilde and Referee Smith of Chicago
In Wilde's corner were Benny Will
lams of England and Al Thompson of
Cincinnati. Mason's chief second was
Jimmy Barry, ex-bantamweight
champion, assisted by Ralph Cook.
Referee Smith called the boys to the
center of the ring at 10:06 P. M., in
atructing them as to the rules, and
time was called at 10:07 P. M. Both
boxers received rounds of cheers.

he made the Jump unheralded. He
had been a successful minor leagu
leader, but was almost unknown from
a major league standpoint. Of course
the papers made much fuss over the
overnight lean to fame of an un
known "bush league" manager.
He was the object of much atten
tion as leader of so famous a club
as the Chicago White Sox. The things
he pulled successfully were usually
overlooked, but any time he kicked
una. it was retarded as "Tjush league
by the players, fans, umpires and
scribes. A favorite way of express
ing contempt for Rowland, was to re
fer to his as a "Bush Leaguer." But
Rowland was nobody's fool, despite
the fact he became a big league lead
er over night. When any one started
kidding him about his bush league
Ideas, he had his hands full to get
better than a draw. Rowland is man
ager and part owner of the Milwaukee
club of the American association, i
asked him how he liked his new role;
Fine," he answered, "but the word
Tig leaguer" gets on my nerves about
as much now as 'bush leaguer did
four "or five years ago. It is funny
how conditions shift When I came
to the majors, everything I did or
tried was facetiously referred to as
bush league' stuff. Isow that I m
back In the minors, I get nothing
but, 'so this is big league stuff."
uess the annoyance is about fifty
fifty."
When it came to repartee, Rowland
took a back seat for no one. Umpire
Dick Nallin and I used to get many
a laugh at one Rowland pulled at
the expense of Nallin. The two came
to the American league about the
same time. Nallin early in the sea
son found It necessary to chase Row
land.
"On your way, busher," was the
way he expressed contempt for Row
land, and Informed him that he was
through.
"I am surprised," answered Row
land. "I expected to be chased up here,
but hoped it would be by a big league
umpire. I thought we bushers would
stick together."
The New York Americans always
had fun riding Rowland. On his first
trip to New York, the entire team got
on him. When he first appeared on
the coaching lines, all the players on
the bench shouted:
"Well, busher, how does It feel to
be a big leaguer?"
"Perfectly natural when we are
playing in New York," was Rowland's
reply, and for the rest of the day he
had the upper hand.

HARTLEY WILL BE THERE
WASmNGTON GUBERNATORIAL
ASPIRANT TO ANSWER CALL.
Fifth of Quintet of Candidates to
Respond to Roll at Olympia
and Play on Outside.
SEATTLE, Wash.. March 1!. (Spe
cial.) The Washington state con
gress of republican gubernatorial
candidates is not to be allowed to
meet next week in Olympia without
Colonel Roland H. Hartley. When the
roll is called up there he'll be present
to answer to his name.
It happens that everybody in the
republican gubernatorial race except
Colonel Hartley has a good and valid
reason for being at Olympia when the
special legislative session is con
vened.
Of the quintet of aspiring repub
licans who have indicated their in
tention of fighting for the guberna
torial nomination, four are indirectly
connected wlaa the extra session.
Colonel Hartley is much concerned
about the special session, too, but he
hasn't anything to do with making
or marring his record.
It was Governor Louis F. Hart
seeking election next fall, who called
the solons to Olympia. Senators
George B. Lamping of Seattle and E.
T. Coman of Spokane, and Represen
tative J. A. Gellatly of Wenatchee
must of necessity attend the meeting
Thus, Colonel Hartley woke up one
morning to find everybody but him
self would be in Olympia. Inasmuch
as nobody else seemed inclined to
remedy this oversight. Colonel Hart
ley engaged a couple of rooms at the
Mitchell hotel and announced that he.
too, would be on the ground when
the business of making new laws was
resumed at the state capital.
Those gubernatorial candidates who
are in the legislature or have some
thing tosdo officially with the session
may be able to play politics from the
inside. Colonel Hartley is expected to
be at Olympia to see what can be
done in his own Interests from the
outside. There may be no clash of
interests during the special session,
but if there is, everybody who has
announced any intention of running
will be on the ground to see what
can be done for himself.
