According to a Chicago story Manager Frank Chance of the Cubs will retire from the game for good at the close of the present season. Very few major league discards will be found in the Central League this season. The Central managers will depend upon the youngsters.

He is making good at that. , After their lonft training trips several major league teams will have to get their real baseball practice during the first two months of the season.

BICYCLE RIDER BADLY HURT
Newark, N. J., April 24. In the half mile bicycle handicap at the Vailsburg veledrome yesterday, Floyd Krehs fell 'and was painfully injured. In a twomile motorcycle match a local rider, Jimmy Hunter, was defeated by Charley Turville of Philadelphia, at 2:17 1-5. Another feature was the defeat of Frank Kramer, the American champion, in a two mile race by Joe Fogler of Brooklyn, in 4:50 1-5. Fred Hill was third. Kramer, from scratch, won the half mile handicap, with Paddy Hehir and Hill third. Time 1:00 1-5.

Springfield, til., April 25. The Carroll boxing bill, which legalizes six round bouts promoted by incorporated athletic clubs, will be reconsidered at the Wednesday session of the senate. It was defeated in the upper house last
Thursday. To overcome objections
raised by the cenate leaders, Mr. Carroll will offer an amendment to the bill
, which will leave it optional with city councils whether boxing may be permitted. With such an amendment, it is believed the bill will have a fair chance
of success.

The Hammond Athletic association
baseball team won their first practice game of the season Saturday afternoon with the Bloomer Girls, with a score of
1, and lost the game yesterday with
the Tom Murrays of Chicago, 9-5.
The Bloomer Girls put up a fine game
of ball and pleased everybody. They opened up the game with all etrls
playing: every position. The batteries were then changed and men were put in their places.
They all knew the fine points of the
game and showed their superiority to a
lot of teams that have played out in
Hammond.
The H. A. A. team used the follow
ing lineup: Vonish, c; Walker, p; Fowler, lb; Klkart, 2b; Rhode, es; Lovnduskl. 3b; Pierson, rf; Wheeler, cf; Mettler. If. Attendance about, 300.
The H. A. A. team lined up against
the Tom Murrays yesterday and lost, 9-5. The local team played a slack
game of ball in a few of the Innings,
allowing- the Tom Murrays in the last
part of the fifth stanza six runs, that makinar the score 7-3 in favor of the Tom Murrays. Pitcher Hill was then taken out and McMahon was put in his
place. Owing to the ore shoulder which McMahon has had for the past few weeks he was unable to hold up his usual form. These games were only practice games and the final lineups
were not used.
By next Sunday when they line up before the Chicago Union Giants. Col
ored team, they expect to be in arood
form. The cold wind that blew yester
day" seemed to have an affect on the
pitching staff of both teams. The following lineup was used by the II. A. A. team: Gleghorn. c; Hill and McMahon, p; Fowler, lb; Schmidt,v2b; Rhode, ss; McMahon. 3b; Pierson. rf; McKay, cf; Vonish, If. Attendance, 250.

Cleveland at Chicago. St. Louis at Detroit. Washington at New York. Philadelphia at Boston. ' . A guy named Gregg, whose tag and map will be a lot more familiar to you in a year or two, put barnacles on the White Sox yesterday and anchored
them to a 5 to 2 defeat In the opening
game of the series between Cleveland
and Chicago at the local fan palace.
Gregg needed a little relp from eight pals, among them Larry Lajoie, and he got It. -In fact, nine men proved much more than a match for the sixteen whom Manager Duffy employed to take Gregg's Bertiilon. This Gregg Is a southpaw, and the way he treated the Sox in the early rounds convinced Manager Hugh that he had too many southpawed, batsmen in the lineup. At the midway station he began rushing In right handers in the hope of starting something.

St. Louis, Mo., April 24. Hank Weaver now is one of them. This tall, cool headed southern boy earned his spurs yesterday and from now on will sit with the chosen ones of the Cubs' pitching staff. 1 He started and finished a game of ball against the frisky Cardinals and let them down with two lonely hits while his accomplished teammates ran the old Cubs machine at top
speed and beat the Mound crew by the decisive count of 7 to 0. Weaver was splendid anil the other fellows beyond reproach. One of the two hits off him was a fluke, being a pop fly back of short which slightly confused Tinker, Sheckard and Kaiser, and dropped safely to the ground. Any one of them could have made the catch with ease. The other was a clean single rast second and there was nothing else that could be tabbed as a base hit, though some of the sharpest fielding by the champions cut down two or three.

Xew Tork, April 24. One Round Hogan vs. Ad Wolgast as the star attraction for this week here has caused New York boxing enthusiasts to take notice and a record crowd is promised when the boys meet next Wednesday night i. p in Harlem. Hogan's training camp was visited today by large crowds, but they saw no work, as Hogan rested all day. Wolgast is putting on the finishing touches over in'' Philadelphia. Hogan is absolutely certain he can outpoint and outhit the champion all the way. If confidence counts for anything Ho?an appears to be a dangerous factor. There Is jio doubt he packs a wallop In his right hand that means a knockout if it reaches -the point of the Jaw. Hogan nailed .Brown on the jaw with one of hese punches in the first r'aund and Brown rocked like a tree in a gale before he fell into a clinch.

Daytona. Fla., April 24. Trailing his own records on Daytona Beach, Bob Burman, on his twenty-seventh birthday anniversary, reached yesterday the
zenith of speed when he drove a 200 horse power BUtzen Bens a mile in 25:40 seconds, or at the rate of 141.60 miles an hour, making the fifth time In the two days' racing that he has broken" the mile record. The mile record was not alone Burman's prey, but the kilometer was again shattered and the two mile record of Oldfield of 55.87 wiped to oblivion, Burman's tinie for the two miles being F.1.2S records and forsthe kilometer 15.88 seconds. The first trial reduced the mile record to 25.91 seconds, after which the speed king started out to lower Saturday's kilometer mark. This he brought down to 15.88. The two. mile record was his next ambition, and at the conclusion the timing device registered 51.28. Burman contended that he could clip more off the mile and went out for a final trial, resulting in negotiating the distance in 25.40. The beach was In better condition than on Saturday, although it was far from perfect. The wlndly favored the daring driver slightly, "I will be lucky," said Burman as he started for the first trial, "for this is my birthday." Some wag faceiously remarked: "Look out that it isn't your last one."
San Francisco, April 24. Twenty-five days', servitude in jail has failed to cure Jack Johnson of his mania, for breaking .peed laws. The champion of the heavyweights admitted as much today. '"Are you going to be good now. Jack?" he was asked. The reply was slow and measured. "I think I will drive as fast as ever," he said. "I have never hurt anyone. I will drive as usual." He hastened to add: "I have no ill will against the people of California for putting me in jail. I am leaving today for Chicago and I don't know when I will' get back here again. I have several theatrical engagements." "And you haven't learned anything as a result of your experience?" "I would like to make a statement. I think I was put in jail because Judge Treadwell wanted to get a little notoriety out of men. They have never put any one else in Jail for speeding.
1 know that there are several cases before the judKe now of men pleading guilty to this offense and he is only
waiting for me to get out of town be
