The Pirate manage- ment took McKechnie after becoming convinced that Norman Boekel really 'had enlisted in the military service and Bill will be Started at third base, Terry Turfier tinally was convinced that for a man of his years and doubtful worth to his cab the con- tract offered him 'by president Jim Dunn of 'thé Cleveland Indians was fair enough, so last week he quit his holdout tactics, signed and reported to Manager Fohl at New Orleans, Fred Toney of the Cincinnati Reds, after announcing that he would serve in the army, following his arrest for an alleged attempt to evade the draft, last week asked for a rehearing on ais exemption claim, setting up that his stepfather, his"mether, a nieve | and a brother all are dependent on 'him. pap---------- "Follow Connie's Lead. Manager Edward Barrow. of the 'Red Box, may follow Connie Mack's method of dress while directing the playing of his club. Connie, it will be recalled, never wears a uniform or leaves the players' bench during a contest. . Manager Barrow, who is.whipping thej;Red Sox shape at Hot Springs, Ark., does not Wear a uniforms while his team is going through ih#ir preliminary stunts at Majestic Park, for he prefers to! supervise the work clothes.

Perry, however, re- mained idle the rest of the year, but recently signed with the Atlanta club for 1918. He is a natural pitcher, but 'is said to be hard to handle. Mack, however, believes that Perry can be induced to attend to business. SCARCITY OF RIDERS Owners Are Complaining and Forced to Experiment, Turfmen are complaining of the searcity of competent jockeys. For 'some unknown reason the quality of the riders on the American tracks been deteriorating for some time, Yot high salaries still prevail and turf men are constantly 'experimenting with stable boys, Looking over the list of present day jockeys, it is im- possible to select one who would have been in the same class with Walter Miller, Willie Shaw, . ueorge Odom, Herman Radtke, Jack: Martin, Win- nie O'Connor, Patsy McCue, Johnny Reif and, last but not least, the fa- mous Tod Slean. CHAMPIONS TITLE BOUT. Effort to Stage It In Baltimore on duly 4th Next. Jess Willlard and Cel, J. C. Miller, his manager, conferred with the Bal- timore police authorities to-day re- garding the possibility of holding the champion's proposed title bout with Fred Fulton on July 4th next in Bal- timore. The president of the Police Board, Gen. Lawrason Riggs, read the law governing boxing matches to his visitors.and told them that it was his opinion that the attitude of the general public would oppose such a fight as contemplated. . Athletes Win War Honors. The story 'of how Flight-Lieuten- ants George R. Hodgson, of Mont- real,, the Canadian Olympie and world's champion swimmer, and J, Lindsay Gordbn, also a well-known Montreal athlete; earned the London Board of Trade silver medal for sav- ing life at sea, was modestly related by the latter in a letter to his father. They were patrolling in a seaplane off the Hook of Holland, when they encountered fog and turned back. On the road home they saw, forty 'miles. off the Duteh coast, two Brit- ish airmen adrift on a tive-foot float. They had been there for five and a half days, and were all in. Hodgson and Gordon ascended, wirelessed home the situation and réported their determination to attempt a rescue and thén descending, took the half-unconscious men aboard A rough sea was rolling and the sea- plane with its extra burden was un- able to rise, so Hodgson and Gordon "taxied" her out into the shipping channel, where a drifter, after four hours' manoeuvring, took the res- cued men aboard. Hodgson and Gordon stuck to the seaplane and landed on an English beach half full of water. The rescued men recover- ed, but it was touch and go for some days. ---------- Cicotte and Schalk Injured. Eddie Cicotte, the crack pitcher of the Chicago White Sox, may be un- able to put on a uniform for some time. Cicotte and his catcher, Ray Schalk, were thrown out of an auto- mobile at Mineral Springs, Tex. the other day. The shine ball expert was' taken to a hospital; suffering from shock and a badly "wrenched back. Schalk, too, was seriously hurt and had to be carried.to the hotel. Grover Hartley, catcher, who was traded to Columbus by the St. Louis | Browns, once declared be couldn't play in St, Louis'and do himself jus- tice. Now he says he won't go to Columbus, and that he will play ball in St."Louls or newhere.

Mr. Pat-! rick ventured the suggestion that the | six-man hockey as played in the East, | might be improved by adding the) Yorward pass which prebails on the] toast and extending the present area in, centre ice several feet. The sug-| gestion was not received vith unani- cials of the Ottawa club in the un | and will be discussed later. 'Mr. Ken- | ¢|nedy of the Canadiens stated that he, belieyed in allowing the players to} kick the puck while in a certain Hon! tion of the centre fce, but deciprod | he could not see how the forwa pass wOuld make thé game any or Ler. After some general talk with re- ference to conditions existing in both 'leagues, it 'was decided to re- sume the conference in Montreal at a later date. ' . Bix-Man Hqckey Best. The world's series hockey has severd one good purpose, says the Toronto News, The results in the thiree days' illustrate to a nicety of the adoption.of a uniform playing code, There will always be dissatis- faction over the Stanley Cup contests, while the competition is played: un- der two different and distinct .cades. There are good points in both games, The penalty rule in force In the coast league is wegrthy of adoption, and the kicking of the puck in a limited area possesses an appeal. It speeds up the game. The other features of the western style, however, are ob- jectionable to the local fans accus- tomed to the rapid fire skating and! clean accurate passing which obtains | == under-the six man system. With tour. 5 teen men on the ice, including two officials, the playing surface is over-; crowded. The lacrosse passing rule] in centre ice is farcial.in eastern eyes, It is a return to first principles aE "Shinny" was the vogue. The old] "N. H. L. game is good Snot or anybody. It is to be hoped , Patrick can be induced to see it that way. Ee ------ Fine Bonus For Hockeyists, It is probable that the Stanley Cup players will split in the neighborhood of $8,000 between them after all ex- peuses have been deducted, which means that the wisners will. receive about $350 each and the losers $250. Last year at Seattle the winners got $108 as their share, Acting on the request of the offi- who were un-|, } held an infor-]. mous approval by the others present | EB i 2 The folks here at home don't realize how badly soldiers want gum.
