CUBS AGAIN DOWN H00SIERfllI' 7-3 Cheney, Slated to Oppose Cards Thursday, Shows Excellent Form.
Besides piloting- the Cubs to a 7 to I victory over the homeless Hoosiers at the west side ball yard yesterday In the second same of the series which was rescued from the Indiana floods.
Manager Evers incidentally worked
ut a few plans for trimming: the St.
Louis Cardinals in the opening: game
of the big: doings next Thursday.
Larjry Cheney, who has been nominated and elected unanimously to pitch the first game, was given his final workout in preparation for the event.
Cheney responded by pitching- a game which was airtight until the Cubs had It cinched. For six inning's the Hoosters did not get a hit off Larry, and the only swat that looked Ike a safe
one save Schulte a chance to make a one-handed grab off the right field
screen.
"' In the seventh inning: the hitless outlook was blurred by an indisputable single, for which the perpetrator paid
by being: nipped off first base an in
tant later by Cheney. The runless
prospect was wrecked by a pair of Booster hits followed by a sacrifice fly. In the eighth, and after that nobody cared a whole lot if "Red" Corriden did blow a cinch double play which would
have ended the game without the two
Indianapolis runs in the ninth.

ter of fact "Willard didn't make a single lead in the whole fight.
"I would have signed articles for : a
twenty-round fight with Wells in California, though, if the Englishman had
been willing, but that is out of the question now. I am sure that I greatly overrated Wells and am sorry that McCarty didn't enjoy the melon cutting instead of Smith. Yes, we will fight
the Ounboat. He isn't a world beater,
however, for the fact that Frank Moran, a third rater, stayed twenty
rounds with him shows how Smith can be rated. But as long as he has stopped Wells McCarty will accommodate him. but not in a ten-round bout. We can get the biggest money on the coast."
EDDIE fiVGOORTY
IS PREPARING FOR PAIR J BATTLES
Oshkosh Middleweight Has
Revenge Fights Billed With Hicks-Christie.

Edward McGoorty is working among
his friends in Oshkosh for a pair of
rough battles he expects to engage in
inside of seven days time. The Wisconsin whale is billed to box Jack
Christie at Fond du Lac next Thursday night, April 10, and on April 16 will tackle Freddie Hicks at Windsor. Both of these struggles are in the nature of revenge fights for McGoorty. Eddie met Christie at Fond du Lac some weeks ago and the scribes in Fond du Lac town gave Jack the popular verdict. That no doubt was stretching it somewhat. But Christie
handed Eddie more than he anticipated at that, and the Oshkosh man wants
to get even.
McQoorty holds the same kind of a grudge against Hicks. Freddie and Edward battled a few months ago in Madison Square Garden, New Tork,
and, to the surprise of everybody, the Detroiter held Mac to a draw. This black mark McGoorty also longs to
wipe out of his record.
So Messrs. Christie and Hicks will
be on the lookout for real trouble
when they start off against Wisconsin's leading candidate for the middle
weight championship.
Incidentally we may mention that
the latest rumor is that Rudy Unholz,
not Al Lippe, will be McGoorty's man ager in the future.
LONDON FEARS
LOSS OF UNITED STATES HORSES
London, April 7. The report that
three racing clubs have decided to revive thes port in New York state has
caused dismay In horse racing circles J
in England and France, because it will probably mean the early withdrawal of many American horses from this side. It is imposible to conceive that American owners will not prefer to enJoy the sport at home if permitted to
do so in peace.
Some persons here will, however, be
glad that the wholesale importation of
American bred horses into England
will be checked, as the unenviable
reputation gained by the later regard
ing their stamina is believed by many breeders to constitue a source of danger to the national breed.
It is realized that the present de
cision of American courts will not im
mediately restore racing to the position It occupied in that country before the anti-betting crusade triumph

St. Joaeph, Mo. April T Much aseball glory was attained yesterday for St. Joseph. With big Ed Walsh pitching for the White Sox regulars, the Western leagruers won a great and exciting combat by a score of 4 to 1. There was no fluke about it, either, for after six Innings of . struggling with the score tied, the minor leaguers began a bombardment of the Big Moose and did not stop until six base hits had been made and three men driven hone. Nearly B.000 fans were present and they roared with delight at the plight of the (Teat American league hurler as he strove vainly to stave off defeat In
that seventh round. ' Big Ed seemed to yield to the situation after the winning run had been sent home and simply laid the ball over for the batters who followed, taking a chance they wouldn't hit it. So three more slamming hits were made before the third man was retired. The game was lost and Walsh wasted no time in hurrying to the dressing: room, leaving Lange to finish the slabbing.

DEFEAT OF WELLS BLOW to ram
Manager Takes Blame for

New Tork, April 7. "Jt wasn't cow

Wells," said William McCarney, who manages the affairs of Luther McCarty, as he discussed Ounboat Smith's speedy victory over the British cham

"McCarty wanted to fight Wells, but I wouldn't let him. I saw a chance to

There is one thing about making
basebal a boy's profession, and that is
the ; hours. They are certainly soft.
The ball player of today reports at the
park for morning practice at half past
10, but the regulars on my club do not
get Into uniform in the morning after
the season is half over because I am
afraid that too much work may make them go stale. They simply show at
the grounds so I shall know they are
up and around at that time of the day
Then I am sure they went to bed ear
ly. It is merely a regulation I made to keep my players in condition. The
men on some big league teams do not have to appear at the grounds during
the forenoon at all after the morning
practice la out out along toward the
early part of July. My players report
again about half past 2 In the after
noon and get dressed for the game.
After a little preliminary practice, the
game is played and all hands are
through for the day by 6 o'clock.
Bear in mind that this time is spent
in doing something that lots of folks
consider fun and enjoy on their Sat
urday afternoons off. All the bus!
ness is conducted in the open air and
sunshine. There is one thing of which
I am positive: I would never have
made a good lawyer or doctor, because I have always hated to stay indoors
when the sun was hlning. Baseball is
good for the health and develops the
physique. A man with any kind of a
body can be a physician or lawyer,
provided he has the head to carry him through his medical or bar examinations. But a big leaguer must have a
good physique as well as a head. e. Chicago team
