OTHER SPORT COMMENT Ayers Will Face White Sox Today. Birmingham to Build Up Pitting Staff. Br WILLIAM PEKT. Joe Boehling. the Nationals young southpaw twlrler, arrived In Washing ton last night from his home in Rich mond, where he has been taking things easy ever since the Grlffmen returned from the West, 1 don't believe that I will have to be operated upon for floating cartilage." said Boehling during an interview. "My knee Is In a plaster cast, but feels pretty good and as I expect to see the club physician today I am in hopes that he will remove the covering and let me try my luck on the ball Held." "The report which must have been widely circulated In the newspapers for the reason that It reached Richmond. to the effect that Manager Griffith and myself had quarelled. and that I had been sent home for failure to give the club my best efforts. Is absolutely un true. Manager Griffith and myself have never had any trouble. I consider him ray best friend and have always worked my head off, to win for him." .... Just how long Boehling will remain in Washington and what treatment will be ordered for his Injured knee Is not known. The southpaw himself feels confident that he will be able to pitch again this season, contrary reports not withstanding. .... Boehllng's injury at this stage of the raco has greatly handicapped the Na tionals in their fight to land the runner up position in the American league race. .... It will probably be Doc Ayers In the box against the Chicago White Sox In the second game of the series here this afternoon. Joe Benz is the Callahan overnight entry. .... Joe Birmingham, who was here with thn rnT-pliinri rluh last week, was more than optimistic over the chances for! his club next season. Contrary to the general belief the Naps are not going to start building up with new young sters, although no promising player will be allowed to go until "he has been given a fair trial. "I am satisfied with my present line up," said Blrmy. "My Infield, with Larry on first. Chapman second, Wambsganne short, and Turner on third, suits me, while the outfield, with Kirke, Liebold. ana JncXlHm. to ttle tscet wmWn.ltn X can get together." "My pitching staff needs building up. and. as we have a number of men In sight for next year. I am confident that we will be as strong in the box as any club in the league. "You must bear In mind," Blrmy added, "that we have played In rotten luck all season. Injuries during the first of the year cost us game after game. Hsd we gotten our share of luck and also the breaks we would now be up In the first division where the club belongs." .... According to a dispatch from Boston, an announcement that Charley Brick ley was to coach the University of Vir ginia football team In early practice was unauthorized and there was nothing to It. Brlckley fraternized with many of the University of Virginia men during his stay near Charlottesville, but started North before football practice was be gun. Brlckley Is now In Boston. .... Jack Doyle, the old Baltimore and New Tcrk player, now scouting for Charley Comlskey's White Sox, says that George Stallings' practice of using three pitchers In turn Is the right Idea, "It not only gives the pitchers the practice they need," he says, "but contest, prac tice which Is worth more than any other kind. Pitchers who get Into a game only once a week or less are only half conditioned for real work." ... Tom Seaton has paid dearly for his efforts to pitch the Brooklyn Feds to a pennant. As a result of working almost every other day, Seaton can now barely raise his arm above his head. Bonea' ter Reese has said that nothing will help It but a long rest and gradual treat ments. Tom Is all through for this sea son. If not forever. CHIFEDS CAPTURE FAST OVERTIME GAME St, Louis. Aug. 30.

WANTS BIG TRACK OPEN First Meeting of Association Brings Out Large CrowrJ To Use Paris Mutual System. Hot Springs. Ark., Aug. 30. A- move ment to repeal the anti-racing law now In force In Arkansas and to open the tracks uader the parl-mutuel system Is being undertaken by the Business Men's League on the Arkansas Spa, and It Is safe to assume that no public project was ever stasted In this city that re ceived the great support that has been accorded this proposition. A recent meeting of the league, which was called to ascertain If sentiment tn this city fa fored a return of "the sport of kings. brought oJt such a crowd that the league headquarters was not sufficient to hold them all. Since that time not one con tmrv vlw has heen emrefised. The, busi ness men realize what race meets will do for this city In the wsy of Increased pat rnnnere. "When we had racing here everyone had money." Is the general reply one gets when asked If racing Is favored for Hot Springs. Wants Truck Open. This city wants the local tracks open ed. At Oaklawn, situated at the end of the car line, there Is considered the finest- racing grounds In the country, the steel and concrete grandstand accommo dating S.0O0 persons. The track there has been kept In fair condition all the year round, for the reason that the big State fair Is held within the grounds, which has a race meet as one of Its features: and. secondly, the track has been maintained because the business element have al ways retained the hope that at some fu ture date racing would be revived here. It Is the Intention of the Business Men's League to have Introduced In the next legislature a bill that will permit the "ponies" to run here again and bets to be made under the parl-mutuel system. No Rnokmnlce-rs. The day of the bookmaker has passed In Hot Springs, and one reason why the presentiment Is so strong for a revival of legalized racing Is due to the fact that positive assurances have been given that open 'books will not be countenanced, but that all wagering will be done through the machines. With this assurance came the support of a great moral faction that had been responsible for driving out the bookmakers and closing the tracks years ago, and when the anti-racing bill went through the magnificent plant at Essex Park and the one at Oaklawn shut their gates. The fact that Hot Springs has "cleaned houaa" generally, closed all Its "palaces of chance." has a felony anti- gambling bill that Is found to be an ex cellent preventive where former gaming establishments are concerned, has done much to change sentiment over the State In favor of this city, and the bill to re establish racing here under the pari mutuel system Is expected to receive gen erous support In the State's legislative body. A committee has been sppolnted to draw up this bill and present It to the league, when It will be placed before the public. Also, at the next meeting of the league a public demonstration of the parl-mutuel machines will be given. American talking machines and pianos are finding their way to Ceylon.

Willie Denham, the welt known local motorcycle racer, was injured today while trying out a new machine on tht Laurel track. Denham was Just recovering' from an Injury received In the big cycle meet held In Philadelphia last month, and was training- for the Labor Day evenU at the Richmond Driving Park. While rounding the bend on the home stretch Denham was making about forty miles an hour when his machine skidded in the heavy sand and threw him against the rail fracturing his right arm and hurting him about the body. The mem bers of the National Capital Motorcycle club are In hopes, of his recovery In time to participate in the event In the Vir ginia city. NEGRO FIGHTERS ARE ON DECLINE i Few Years More and Race Will Skid Off Pugilistic Horizon. New York. Aug. 3a A few years more and the negro race that had occupied such an Important position In the pugil istic world for more than thirty years will have skidded off Into obscurity. Just a few years ago the negroes almost ruled the heavy-weight division. Jack Johnson was champion, Sam Langford was runner-up and Joe Jeanette stood head and shoulders over most of the white scrappers. But Sam's star is on the wane, Jeanette ranks now as a has been and Johnson alone holds his same place. But xld-d years and dissipation have hurt Johnson. Sooner or later he must crumple, and when he does, he will go down with a loud srlash. There are no classy negro light-weights today. When the wonderful Joe Gans passed on and down It left his race without a representative In that division. There are no real negro fighters In the middle-weight division and none In the feather-weight divisions. ' Cross n Joe Cans, The old discussion of who was the greatest fighter in the light-weight di visions has bobbed ifp again. Out In Chicago they think that Battling Nel son deserves the vote. The old-time flhters hand the crown to Joe Gans. The rank and file of fight fans feel that the title should be given to one or the other that no other light-weight measures up to them. Gans and Nelson were totally different In their style of fighting. Gsns wis one of the most scientific men that ever stepped Into the ring. He depended more on his wonder ful brain, his amazing speed, his mar velous defense and generalship than he did on a punch. I'nsrnscefal Fighter. Nelson, on the other hand, probably was the most ungraceful citizen that ever held any kind of a pugilistic title But how he could hit! And the punish ment he could take. Nelson time, after time stood up under a rain of blows from his opponent that had- enough power to knock out ninety-nine out of 100 men. Bat knew nothing about science. He had no footwork, and his defense, for the most part, was a Joke. But he pos sessed the power to assimilate a terrible amount of punishment and still save enough energy to slip over a finish punch.

ALC0 CLUB LOOKS GOOD American Locomotive Company Nine Are Well Balance Team of Youngsters. Br WALKER II. COLSTON. The Alco team, representatives of the American Locomotive Company, of Rich mond, which put one leg on the Inter City title by taking both ends of the double bill from the Ninth street team. In the Virginia city on Saturday, looks to be the best amateur team which has yet been placed in the Intcr-Clty fight by the Virginia city, and the local rep resentatives will have to fight every Inch of the way to get even an even break tn the games scheduled for Saturday here, at American League Park. True, the Alco's did not plsy up to form In the curtain raiser on Saturday, having no less than eight errors charged up against them, but the local team took the Held Just after having eat a big dinner, which turned the men half sick, making It Impossible for them to take advantage of the winner's mlscues. Eddie Kelley, after pitching alr-tlght ball for the first two Innings, turned sick, but refused to quit, as his team mstes had scored three runs In the third, and pitched that frame In which the Engine Builders tied up the count. Kellev managed to finish the Inning, getting uorse off every minute and fell Into the arms of Dr. Parker, well known to local fans as the manager of the Bat tle Ax team, thrice competitors In the Inter-City series, who attended the ble- hurler and forbid him to get back In the i game Others who later fell by the wa-- side from the same cause were Charlie ' Broome and Bill Marceron, while Frank Pee was ailing from the start of the first contest, but gamely stuck until the finish of the final game. Had the Churchmen played their usual snappy game fi the opener, there is no debt that they would have been return ed a winner. The second game was sewed up in the er first Inning, when the Alco club shovd three runs across the pan. and the Ick-sI. could do nothing with the "splt ter" erved over the plate by Sanderson, a hie right hander. who had worked hanf laMnff brick, out In the suburbs until 12 o'clo k, driving into the city tn a buggy and just managing to get In his uniform in time for the game. The five hits registered by the Chris tians were widely scattered, and the big hur.er was only once In danger of being scored en. while von Harbules and Larry Cheney. who also did relief duty in this same, were hammered to all corners of the lot The manager of the Engine Builders gave a banquet to his team In Murphy's Hotel directly after the games, and when the ball players filed in it was for the first time seen that they were compara tively a bunch of kids, seven of the ten men who took part In the two games being between the ages of elchteen and twenty. Asher.' guardian of the middle field for the Virginians, lead both team's at the bat and on the bases, getting seven hits out of eight times at bat, drawing a bas on balls and scoring five runs in the twin sketch. Tlnsley also batted weU In the final, managing to connect for four safe ties oat, of five times at the stick, while Tlgnor ac-ompllshed a feat which had been turned only four times before, in lifting a ball over the high fence tn right field for a homer. All of this goes to show the the Goobers are extra good batters, while Anderson. Amos. Blgble and Tinslev look to be as good fielders as can be found on any sand lot. and. in fact, the whole team worked like a well oiled machine in the final game, playing errorless ball. Tommy Harris and Bllck Rountree looked good In the field for the local team making several swell stops and pegs while Ray King, on the hot corner, played his usual steady game, handling everything that came his way with the gracefulness for which he Is noted. Glovannettl also put up his usual heady game behind the bat, but with the rest of the team failed woefully with the stick. Of the outfielders Frank Pee looked the best, both of his catches being of diffi cult chances and racing over on the foul line, grabbed another with one hand, holding It momentarily, but the umpire refused to call the batter out. Had Pee held the ball. It would have been one of the best. If not the best, catches ever pulled off In the Broad Street Park. Earl Steele also grabbed off his shoe-tops what looked to be a hit with three on the sacks, holding the runner at the third bag. Saturday was declared a half holiday by the American Locomotive Company and special cars were run to the ball park for the employes, who came well supplied with megaphones of all de scriptions, automobile horns, and even tort of nolse-maklng devices that could be gotten together and whooped things up from the time that the first man grabbed his war club In the first, till the last manias retired In the final game.

White Sox Today A NEW STORY ON THE LATE ''RUBE" WADDELL Every story told of the late George ''Rube" Waddell Isn't true. When starring in "The Stain of Guilt." Waddell'a press agent dug up the flies of long ago and made him the hero of many escapades, much to the player's delight. There's one the press agent didn't evolve, however. It's been told on Waddell by gentlemen of veracity. Back In the days when the corsairs roamed on Smoky Island. Waddell had a habit of loafing around the club office, sticking up officials for passes. One afternoon while the rush through the gates was on, Wad dell chanced to be In the office. The- phone bell sounded. Next to a fire alarm there Is nothing ."Rube" admired more than a phone call. He raced to the re ceiver, yanked It from Its perch with a loud "Hello. What's the matter" Waddell listened to a mortal at the other end of the line and then glanced Into a corner of the room. "Walt a minute." yelled Waddell Into the transmitter. With a bound he darted to that corner, grabbed up an umbrella, and rushing over to the phone, held It In front of the mouth piece and roured: "Is this, yours" CHENEY AND PIERCE FAnY KiIH NkW YIIUK rilll I Ilia lit., VI llllll!
