Tommy Stevenson, who played shortstop for Rochester last year, was seriously injured ten days ago while playing for the Lincoln Club, of the Western League, and will be out of the game for the greater part of the season.

At the conclusion of his contract the big cowboy will be at liberty, and it is more than probable that sume enter- prising promoter will take the oppor- tunity to persuade him to enter the ring against England's best, provided always that big Jess does not require the earth and the fulness thereof. You see, he pocketed such a huge sum for his ten rounds "no decision" bout with Frank Moran that even the pluckiest spectator might well hesitate to approach the big fellow. The biggest offer English promoters could make would look infinitesimal- ly small against the sum he then re- ceived, f MATHEWSON QUITS GOLF As He Says It Interferes With His BROCKVILLE REGATTA Pitching No more golf for me while I'm in baseball. I believe it interferes with my pitching. "McGraw's got the best team he's had since he's been manager of the Giants, "We can make about five runs a game and will. With any sort of pitching we'll win in that hitting." These statements from the lips of Christy Mathewson, the Giants' pitch- The Carroll Team Won in the Last Fifty Yards The Brockville Rowing Club pulled off a very successful spring regatta for fours, eight crews competing. The finals narrowed down to the crews stroked by Dr. Carroil and Adiol Steacy, which provided a nip- and-tue™ struggle from the moment the gun was fired until the Carroll quartet crossed the line winners by a scant half-length. The contestants made it a ding-dong affair all the way, first one leading and then the other. The Carroll men won because they had more steam in the final spurt of the last fifty yards. Carroll stroked the winning crew of 1913, ---- Matty still has "stuff," according te other Giants, not according to Matty, who does not talk much about his own equipment. He isn't giving up golf, a game which he loves, for any other reason than a hunch that the Indian will quit the game. His ser- vices as a football coach are in de- mand, and he has a good-sized farm in Oklahoma which he paid for with money received from the New York Club. Probably Thorpé would have been disposed of by the Giants long ago, but he held an unbreakable three-year contract and could not be cut off the pay-roll. The New York Club will pay perhaps two-thirds of Thorpe's salary this season. It is an understood fact that he has been drawing $6,000 a year, but this is the third and last season that contract holds good.

Royals After More Pitchers The Toronto Leafs have only three regular working pitchers, and ap- parently no effort is being made to strengthen up the staff. In Montreal it is different. The News says: "The Montreals have been playing good ball to date, but they are badly in need of a couple of reliable hurlers. Goodbread, Colwell, Fullerton, and Cadore have been working as well as can be expected when it is consider- ed that they are enabled to enjoy. only a short rest between games. In' fact, if the Royals could secure a couple of fair hurlers to help the present staff out, they evidently could win, as their infield and outfield com- pares very favorably with any team in the league." \ Johm C. Chapman Dies Old-time baseball fans yill learn with regret of the death in New York on Saturday of John C. Chapman, who managed the Toronto Club in the latter part of the season of 1895 when that city was in the Eastern League. In the early part of the same season Chapman had managed the Rochester Club. In 1887 and for some years afterwards he managed the Buffalo Club of the International League, and one of the most popular men connected with that organiza- tion, One-Armed Ball Player Quebec Chronicle: Young Larivi- ere, one of the officials of the Tip- perary Baseball Club, though unfor- tunate to lose an arm through a street ear éccident some years ago, plays ball almost as well as some boys with their full complement of propellers.
