FAIRMONTS ARE
FAVORED 10 WIN
Generally Expected That They
Will Finish First in the
Federal League.
ANALOSTAN CLUB HAS
CHANGED ITS POLICY
Establishes Junior Membership
to Draw Younger Men Into
the Organization.
BY H. C. BYBD.
The Fairmont team is expected to win
the championship in the Federal League
in the series now being played. It has
a fair lead and should be able to hold
it if its work in the past is any cri
terion of what it will continue to do.
Winning: the championship in the sec
ond series does not mean that the Fair
monts will represent the Federal
League in the post-season games.
While the club is going well, it must
beat Petworth in a special series be
tween the two clubs. Petworth, by vir
tue of having been in the lead at the
time the league was reorganized and
a new schedule adopted, has been de
clared eligible to compete with the
winner of the second half of the sched
ule for the real title.
That Fairmont is pretty sure to win
out in the series now being played is
the opinion of those who have been
following the league rather closely. It
has two capable pitchers and the other
players seem to accord the hurlers the
necessary support. Against the Pet
worth club in the final series it may
not win, but the chances are that a
number of close games will be played.
Both clubs will have good pitching, and
chat factor is enough to warrant the
prediction that the contest will be in
teresting.
Wooden and Thompson have been the
mainstays of the Fairmont club in the
box. Both men have done some excellent
work, that of Wooden having been pro
ductive of victories so consistently that
particular notice has been drawn to him.
Wooden ha>> given some excellent exhi
bitions, and probably holds the league
record for strikeouts for the season.
Petworth alao has a very capable per
former to place against Wooden in the
final series. He is Kidwell. That young
ster is bound to give the best of them a
hard run to beat him, and against the
Fairmonts he should show well, there
being few hard hitters on the club.
Another interesting final series is likely
to take place in the Central League,
unless Sherwood should win the cham
pionship in the second half of the sched
ule. That club was the victor in the first
part of the schedule, and it seems to
stand an even chance to win out this
time, although it has some stronger clubs
against it now than it had during the
previous part of the season. The race
in that circuit is very close, three clubs
being in the running for the title, and no
matter which wins out, it should be
capable of contesting a close series with
Sherwood. Of course, if Sherwood wins
again, the title will be settled, and there
would be no final series.
The following communication has been
received from the manager pf an amateur
club In Baltimore:
"The Paret Memorial base ball club of
Baltimore would like to arrange Sunday
games with the fastest outfits in the city
of Washington, games to be played in
Washington. The Memorial team Is recog
nized as one of the fastest in Baltimore,
having defeated some of the best in the
Monumental city. Among its latest games
played is a victory over the crack Gar
denville club of Baltimore, which, after
defeating teams of the best caliber and
winning twenty-one straight games, met
its first defeat of the season at the
hands of the Paret Memorial nine by the
score of 5 to 2. A game with the Na
tional Reserves of Washington is espe
cially desired. Managers can secure
games by addressing F. Reinhardt, jr.,
1339 Hull street, Baltimore, Md."
The following Is a list of the games
scheduled in the amateur leagues:
Brookland League?Baptists vs. Episco
pal.
Capital City League?Bankers vs. Hy
attsville.
East Washington League?Brethren vs.
Reformation.
Departmental League ? Interior vs.
Marines.
Central League?G. P. O. vs. Northern.
Federal League?Tangle wood vs. Fair
mont.
Eastern League?Western Buds vs. Mo
hawks.
Northwest League?Fourth vs. Whitney.
Marquette League?War vs. St. Joseph's.
Potomac League?Anacostla vs. G. H. I.
The work of the Interior club has been
worthy of more than passing recognition,
even though it faiLs to win the cham
pionship of the Departmental League. It
13 practically a new club in the circuit,
yet it has held the lead practically all
the season. Manager Kays got together
a bunch of youngsters who have shown
a willingness to work and give their
best to the game. All have been a credit
to the sport, and their supporters are not
few by any means.
The Analostan Boat Club has started
an Innovation which Is sure to be very
productive of more youthful talent, in
fact, it is evident that the policy of the
club Is going to be very successful in
open competition. The work of the crew
Bent to the Peoples' regatta on Labor
day shows the caliber of the youngsters
who have joined the club, and It Is likely
that they will be even more capable In
another year or two, as they are all un
der twenty-one. The policy of the club,
newly adopted. Is to create what la known
as a Junior membership, such member
ship to include boys under twenty-one
years of age. This is expected to build
up with young blood what had become al
most a stale organisation. For the last
few years little effort has been made to
advance the Interests of the club, but
now a determined effort is to be made to
build it up.

"SNOWY" BAKER TAKES PLACE
OF McINTOSH AS PROMOTER
Will Try to Carry on Fighting Game in
Australia as Did His Predecessor?
Williams in Line for Try at Title.
BY T. S. ANDREWS.
Special DUpateh to The Star.
MILWAUKEE, Wis., July 25.?
"Snowy" Baker, the Australian boxing
promoter, who took the place of Hugh D.
j Mcintosh when the latter retired and i
Isold out to the former, plans to visit
[ the states about the last of the year
I and arrange for some big championship
matches in the Antipodes during the
1914 season. Mr. Baker is deeply inter
ested in the boxing game, having Just
completed stadiums at Brisbane and
Melbourne in addition to the big one j
at Sydney. Regarding the game and
the conditions just now he writes me
as follows:
| "The fatality in connection with the
| Luther McCarty-Arthur Pelkey bout In
! Canada had rather a depressing effect
for a time, but the sporting authorities
and the people here knew that sqch ?
things are liable to happen in any kind
of sport, and they took it In the right
spirit It was a sad affair at best, but
could not be helped, and the fact that
the authorities there held Pelkey
blameless proved that it could not be
held other than an accident. I have
had quite a bunch of European boxers
j here, and some of them have done very
I well indeed, but they are ntft up to the
j class of the Americans. Petty Officer
i Curran of England put up a great flght
with Biil Lang, who is back in the
game. Curran wanted to go back to
England, but Anally decided to remain
for four more fights. I would like to
have Porky Plynn here to meet him.
and it is possible that Plynn will re
turn. The new stadium at Melbourne
is completed and seats 10,000 people.
The one at Brisbane is smaller, but if
all goes well I will have a larger one
built later on. Hughey Mehegan,, the
lightweight champion, Is here and
matchcd for some good contests.
Johnny Summers is also doing well,
and I hope later on to match him with
Ray Bronson, the Indianapolis welter
weight champion, for the world's title.
I also want Jimmy Clabby back here
for a number of matches, as I feel that
Jimmy is pretty near the middleweight
champion of the world. The regular
season will soon open up again, and
I look for a busy one, with soma very
interesting matches. A first-class
i lightweight will have a great chance
I here."
"Had William Bernhard been appoint
ed manager of the Cleveland club in
190D there is little doubt that they
would have won the American League
pennant."
The above statement was made by \
Charlie Carr, manager of the Kansas
City ball club, during a discussion of
base ball affairs In the lobby of the
Plankinton Hotel, and especially the
benching of Napoleon Lajoie, the great
| second baseman of the Naps.
"When the Cleveland club manage
! ment appointed Lajoie as manager In
11905," said Mr. Carr, "It made a seri
; ous mistake, to my way of thinking.
Xot that Lajoie was not a competent
| man for the position, but because it
did not result in the harmony neces
sary on a team to make it a pennant
winner. I do not want to infer that
Lajoie was not able to handle the
affairs or to keep the men in line,
for every one had the highest regard
for Larry, both as a man and a player.
I "There -were angles which caused
some dissatisfaction and the players
were not working together as they
should have done. The man who could
have had perfect harmony on the team
was Bill Bernhard, for every man
liked him and would Jiave worked his
i head off for him. It was Lajoie him
self who would have liked to see
Bill in charge, for he stuck to him like
a brother. It may not be known out
side, but when Lajole signed up with
the Cleveland club for a long period
It was with the understanding that
Bill Bernhard was to be there and
never receive a cent less than any other
pitcher in the club. That is how
strong Larry was for Bill.
"To my mind the Naps that year
had one of the strongest ball teams
ever gotten together, but it was lack
of harmony that yevented them from
winning the pennant."
Kid Williams, the Baltimore bantam
weight, has a right now to get into the
championship class and ask a match of
Johnny Coulon. The Kid ia practically
the bantam champion of France now.
having defeated Charles Ledoux, the rec
ognised champion of Europe; in fifteen
rounds of fast and furious fighting at
the Verenon arena, just outside of Los
Angeles. According to all reports the
little Frenchman put up a remarkably
good fight and never flinched in the hot
test of mix-ups. The only regret is
that the bout should be awarded to the
Baltimore on a questionable blow. Le
doux went down in the fifteenth round
from what appeared to the referee a
clean body punch, but the Frenchman
claimed it was a foul blow, and as he did
not respond to the call at the end of
the ten-second count the decision was
given to Williams. It proved that Ledoux
is no false alarm and that another battle
between the two will probably be de
manded by the Frenchman's manager.
First, however. Williams will meet Eddie
Campl, the clever coast bantam, in a
return match, for the fans there believe
that Tim McGrath's protege can out
point the husky Baltimore boy In a
twenty-round go. Then the winner will
have clear sailing for a championship
match with Johnny Coulon on Labor day.
providing, of course, that Johnny is
well enough by that time and In proper
shape.
Jimmy Duffy, the Lockport (N. Y.)
lightweight, through his manager, Bert
Finch, wants to bet a bunch of money
that the eastern lad can take the meas
sure of Willie Ritchie in a twenty-round
bout. Manager Finch says he can raise
15.000 real money to back up his claim,
and that if Ritchie will accept the prop
osition he will make a match at once, to
take place anywhere he names, the $5,010
to go as a side bet and to split the purse
any way the champion suggests. "I will
post the 15,000 with any sporting author
ity in the country," writes Manager
Finch, "or with any bank Ritchie names.
Just to show that I mean business and
do not Reek a lot of notoriety at his ex
pense. I will not say that all the money
is mine, nor Duffy's, but we have the
sum to wager, just the same, and we mean
huslness." The chances are that Ritchie
will be matched with either Leach Cross
or Tommy Murphy for Labor day on the
coast, so that all the other lightweight
aspirants, including Jack Britton, Pal
Brown, Jimmy Duffy and Packey Me
Farland, will have to wait a while.
Some boxers change managers so
often it is hard to keep tab on them,
dam Murbarger is having just the op
posite experience. Sam is a manager
And is having a hard time trying to
Keep in touch with one fighter for any
length of time. Sam managed some of
the lesser lights and then took hold
of Eddie McGoorty, but only for a time,
when they parted. Then Sam annexed
Jack Dillon, the Indianapolis middle
weight, and for a time they got along
fine. Jack worked like a champion,
and at .the present time is considered
in line for title honors along: with
Jimmy Clabby, Frank Klaus and Eddie
McGoorty. Now comes the split be
tween Sam and Dillon, the latter hav
ing decided to look after his own busi
ness, with the assistance of Brother
i Tommy. Sam was not idle long, hav
ing heard that Gus Christie, the Mil
waukee middleweight, had split with
Teddy Murphy. As a result a confer
ence was arranged for and it is a good
bet that the two will hook up and try
for some of the big things this fall.
Christie has made a splendid showing
the past year, and in considered a very
promising 158-poundor.
There are probably more good ban
tamweights in the country today than
for a number of years past?boys who
can do the bantamweight limit, llti
pounds ringside, without the least
trouble and give a good account of
themselves. Since the days of Jimmy
Barry. Harry Forbes and George Dixon,
when the latter was classed as a ban
tam, the class has not been overstocked
with extra good boys, but now t'tere
are numerous lads in the class who arc
far above the average, amonn them
(besides the champion, Johnny Coulon),
Kid Williams, Eddie Campi, Charlie
Liedoux. Digger Stanley, Bill Beynon.
Frankle Conway, Kid Mahoney and
othera All are high-class boxers, and
a tournament amone the lot would
prove a most interesting event.
There is no clause in the boxing
rules that provides for a referee being
put out of commission, although it is
very likely any time there is a con
test. Recently in London a bout was
held, and during the same the referee,
in trying to break the men, received a
wallop that put him out of business for
a minute. There was nothing to do but
wait until the official recovered his
senses and again took charge of the
miil. In Paris it is a common occur
rence to have the referee take the ten
count or to have him called while one
of the contestants recovers from a foul.
Here is a chance for the club promot- j
ers to get together and formulate some
rule to cover the point in question.
Bob McAllister, the Pacific coast mid- j
dleweight, who has been making such a
fine showing the past six months, and
whom Jim Corbett says is the coming
middleweight champion, intends to make
a tour of the middle west and east short
ly. Bob will be accompanied by his
brother, who will have charge of the
arrangements. He is particularly anxious
to get on with Eddie McGoorty and Jim
my Clabby and may stop over in Mil
waukee with that object in view. Bob
has had a number of fights since turning
professional and has made good in ail o*
them. However, he will find Dillon. Mc
Goorty and Clabby pretty hard game to
tackle, but if he can run the gantlet
with that crowd, then he will, indeed,
have a right to consider himself as a
candidate for the title.
Buck Crouse, the Pittsburgh 1T?$-pouml
er, is a peculiar individual. Suiue time 1
ago Buck was fighting like a champion j
and made a great showing against ncv- i
eral eastern middle weights, but all of a (
sudden he decided to take a trip and dls- j
appeared for a time. He was also book- j
ed for an Australian tour, but at the lust j
moment decided that he could not stand j
the boat ride and remained behind. Some j
time ago his manager, Jimmy Mason, had j
him matched up for an important contest;
at Indianapolis, but Buck could not b.-}
found and the match had to be called off. ,
with the result that frank Klau* grab
bed It off and also a big chfink of coin.
Then camc word that Buck had dccidedj
to take a trip to Panama, as he wanted ]
to sec what the canal looked lik?-. At ;
the present time Buck is mingling with ,
the Jamaica negroes and natives* a lung J
the Canal Zone, but he sa% s he will be |
back in time for the fail campuign. and I
Jimmy Mason is happy.
