Chicago Manager Accused of
Allowing Team to Stall
Against St. Louis
It cost Johnny Evcra $30 to Indulge
hx dilatory tactics, during the second
lm with St. Louis at Chicago last
Sunday. Tbe Human Crab was noti
ced yesterday afternoon by President
Lynch that the punishment was $50.
Evert was not inclined to demur,
a be preferred a fine to suspension.
The last time the Cubs were at the
Brush Stadium both Elvers and Mc
Graw were under suspension and di
rected the battle from box seats.
The game for which Evers was fined
was by agreement of the clubs to end
at 5 o'clock in order to enable the
teams to catch trains. The Cubs had
won tbe first game, but the Cards took
a lead in the opening innings of the
second game, and the Cubs . were
charged with "stalling." Umpire Ea
ton declared the game forfeited to
pt Louis in the third. C. W. Mur
phy has entered a protest.

Infielder of the New York Giants, will

GUNBOAT SMITH
MAY MEET FLYNN
Trying To Arrange Bout Between
Heavyweights in New
York
Now that hot weather and vacation
time has arrived boxing has taken on
a decided slump. This condition will
probably prevail without interruption
until next month, when a match be
tween Gunboat Smieh and Jim Flynn
will help relieve the monotony. Even
this event is none too sure, according
to Flynn, who declares that he fears
Smith will find some excuse to avoid
him.
But the Pueblo man, who is at pres
ent traveling across country by auto
mobile, is probably giving himself
needless worry. There seems no rea
son why Smith should see any great
danger in such an encounter. As wild
and inaccurate as he is, Smith could
hardly miss the easy target of Flynn's
ill-guarded jaw. And tough as he is.
Flynn cannot be expected to take that
crashing Gunboat saving without goin
down.
Flynn states that if Smith does
avoid the issue he will turn his at
tention to Arthur Pelky and relieve
him of whatever championship claims
the latter thinks he possesses. Al
ready Pelky has come out with the
statement that he means to take full
advantage of his fluke Victory over the
late Luther McCarty and pose as the
leader of the white hopes.
Inasmuch as McCarty was in real
ity a few long strides short of the
top when he met his finish at the
hands, of Pelky, and as the latter has
been easy prey for several second rat
ers, he will have a hard time obtain
ing ree.ognition. But In some quar
ters McCarty was regarded as the
champion, and in these sections of the
country Pelky is taken equally ser
iously. By defeating him Flynn
could make1 some show of dominating
the white hope class from which all
along he has held himself aloof. Fail
ing a match with Smitih or Pelky,
Flynn states he will retire, giving as a
reason that he has saved enough of his
earnings to make him independent of
the ring.
IN MAJOR' LEAGUES
Jimmy Sheckard has paid board
and lodging, in numiqu3 cities in his
big league career. He" has belonged
to clubs in Baltimore, Brooklyn, Chi
cago, St. Louis and Cincinnati, making
three of his shifts since the present
season opened. C
A pitcher who is going along win
ning regularly without attracting
much attention thereto is Humphries
of the Cubs. He has taken his last
five games, the taken teams being
Cincinnati, twice; Philadelphia, Pitts
burgh and Brooklyn. Just before
that run he relieved Cheney in a
game In which,, the Cubs beat the
Giants.
Owner Jimmy McAleer of the Red
Sox is trVing to pull off a trade with
the Browns in which he can-land Bob
by Wallace, the veteran shortstop of
the Mound City.
For some reason or other the Cleve
land Naps have the ability, to pick
up good, hard-hitting fielders. Buddy
Ryan is a case in point. He Is filling
in at center field, and doing notable
work alongside of Joe . Jackson and
Graney. Buddy is both -a good hit
ter and fielder.
"Youth" they say, "must be served."'
Quite true. . The two veteran pitch
ers of the game now are Mathewson
and Plank. Plank has won only
thirteen and dropped two and Math
ewson has won only fourteen and
dropped Jour. Between them out of
thirty-three starts this pair have won
only twenty-seven and dropped six for
the moth-eaten' average of only .818
or so.
At that, it must be something of a
morose thought for any National
League club to figure that the paths
of pennant winning can only lead up
against the Athletics. What does It
profit a bloke to gain the whole flag
and then bump against Collins, Baker,
Mclnnis, Bender, Plank and ten or
twelve others of about the same ilk?
George Brlckley is a natural athlete
greater perhaps In an all-round sense
than were Eddie Collins and "Stuffy"
Mclnnis, when they went to Connie
Mack. Young bail players differ so
much in "coming" In their develop
ment that It is almost impossible to
ngure out a schoolboy s chances of
making good in the big leagues. It
will, therefore, be Interesting to ob
serve Brickley's development under
that past master of coaches, Connie
Mack.
Rig league scouts are finding rich
picking these days at the University
of Notre Dame. That Indiana insti
tution's classy baseball team has Just
about been torn in two by the head
hunters from the majors, who are
signing the Notre Dame men as fast
as they can collect the signatures.
And now a Chicago boy has been
drafted from Notre ' Dame' by Peoria
of the Three-Eye. He Is George Re
gan, an outfielder.

BLUM'S PITCHING
WASTED WHEN TEAM
IS WHITEWASHED
New London, July 9 After pitching
airtight , balljf or nine innings yester
day, Blossom Blum pulled some bad
fielding in the i iioth and Bridgeport
lost to New Loudon by 1 to 0.
Blum had the Planters eating out
of his hand until the final round.
He had allowed only four hits up to
that time and his control was good.
Radabough, who lost a hard luck
contest to Bridgeport last Saturday,
came back and blanked the cohorts
of Monte Cross. He let them down
with four scattered raps and was
backed by flawless support. Stow and
Boultes were the only visitors who
could touclj the little southerner.
Each grabbed two singles. Bill Hol
deri, the outfielder who is sought by
so many major league clubsi led New
London with a pair of safeties and al
so stole a base.
Bowman and Boultes had plenty to
do In the field and they performed
well, even if Bowman's one error was
costly. Irelan, the New London sec
ond sacker, ' took 11 chanqes without
an error. .
, After going scoreless until the 10th,
New London stepped lively when Nea
lon reached first on Bowman's error.
Blum tried to catch him off first and
threw wild, Nealon taking third. Then
Harry Noyes, who has been batting
very poorly, singled and NeSlon made
the winning run. The score:

BARRY TO
COACH HOLY CROSS
(Worcester' Post.)
Jack Barry, . the former Holy Cross
shortstop, ,and the guardian of the
shortfield for the Philadelphia Athlet
ics, the leading team in the American
league pennant race is a prospective
coach of the Holy Cross college base
ball team. If appointed he will suc
ceed Bill Dyer, who has been direct
ing the team for several years. Bar
ry and Manager Connie Mack of the
Athletics held a conference with Thos.
J. Flaherty, graduate manager of
athletics in Holy Cross, Sunday in the
Franklin Hotel. The three talked ' for
more than two hours.
If Barry were named for the posi
tion it would be necessary to get
Mack's consent to his acceptance, as
the college team would need itJI coach
most in April and May. As a rule
the Athletics go south in February and
Barry has always left with the team.
Barry is one of the standbys m
Mack's famous "million dollar" infield.
It usually takes the clever little short
stop some time to get into condition
in the spring and he does hot'play his
regular game until June.. For that
reason Manager Mack may be able to
spare him, as he has an able assist
ant in Orr, a recruit shortstop.
A probable change in the, baseball
coaching system in Holy , Cross was
first known two weeks ago. At one
time Jack Flynn, who formerly play
ed first base for the Mt. St. James
team and at one time was with Wash
ington and Pittsburg majors, was
mentioned for the job.
DENIES JOE RIVERS
QUIT AGAIHST RITCHIE
Los Angeles, July 9. Joe Ley,
manager of Joe Rivers, arrived from
San Francisco yesterday, disappointed
at the showing made by the Mexican
in his bout with Ritchie, but confident
that the lightweigt Mexican can re
verse the verdict if given another
chance at the title. '
Levy denies that Rivers was not In
good shape for the bout, and defends
the Mexican against the charges that
he is not game.
"It was a case of fighting himself
out in the early rewinds and not being
able to keep up the pace," said Levy.'
"Joe was in good shape, from all ap
pearances, and seemed fit to travel the
full route at top speed, buf after set
ting the pace in the early rounds and
piling up a good lead he lost steam,
and Ritchie was able to get him and
whip him.
"The idea that Rivers quit is ridi
culous. He was floored cleanly, and
after the count was finished was so
dazed that he scarcely, realized that
the bout was over."
Levy is determined that Rivers shall
not start again until Labor day. He
states that Ritchie promised to give
Rivers a return match, and that the
champion is willing to come to Los
Angeles for the batele.

New Orleans Magnate Offers
$20,000 for Big Bout
Here are a few lines from Jack Brit-
ton's manager:
Sporting Editor of The Farmer. '
Jack Britton, the greatest light
weight In the world today will box
Ritchie for a side bet of $10,000. Here
Is a real test for the champion. Brit
ton will box at any weight Ritchie
wants. . Joe Rivers Is a real light
weight and Ritchie did not gain any
thing by beating him at 134 ringside.
While Ritchie is dodging Britton, Jack
will take on Leach Cross, Rivers, Bud
Anderson or any boy from 133 to 138
ringside. , Britton is the class of the
present day lightweight's and the sport
ing public believe him to be the un
crowned king of the lightweight di
vision. Ritchie must now face the issue and
say he is afraid to meet Britton or
five him a chance at the title. J. J
Tortorich of New Orleans has made
Ritchie an offer of a $20,000 purse to
meet Britton and I accepted for Brit
ton. Sincerely,"

OUTFIELDER ADAMS STRICKEN
WITH APPENDICITIS GOES HOME
Wire Vote May Be Taken on Transfer of
Holyoke Club to Meriden
(By Wagner) 1
Outfielder Quincy Adams of the
Bridgeport club was etricken with ap
pendicitis yesterday and today he
went to his home in Philadelphia to
undergo an operation. The youngster
has not been feeling well for the past
week, but in spite of this he played
good ball for the locals. He looks like
a natural hitter and is very fast. The
local club had him under option from
Raleigh of the Carolina association
but will probably not buy him now.
Manager Cross said this morning
that he -will put Silzer back In the out
field. The term on the bench may re
store Bromo's batting eye. If one Hoes
Shea does not improve in his hitting.
Lefty Gervais may be sent to the pas
ture. Gervals is a fine hitter -and a
good all around player. The manage
ment Is wiring for another outflelderl
and hopes to land a man soon.
President CRourke said he had re
ceived no official notice yet that the
Holyoke club wanted to transfer to
Meriden. It is understood that Mag
nate Whalen has made several trip
to the Silver City and has secured the
use of Hanover park. He thinks the
game will pay in Meriden. It is plan
ned to have the first game In- Meriden
Saturday with New London as the at
traction. The president declared it
would not be necessary to hoi da lea
gue meeting to -authorize the change
but that a vote by wire could be tak
en. This will probably be done. Hol
yoke has supported the team poorly
this year and it le said that the own
ers have lost money.
Umpire McPartlin was notified not
to let Catcher Vandegrift of Bridge
port play today unless he paid that $5
fine which was Imposed by Umpire
Lanlgan In i this city last week. One
Hoss Shea also has a $5 fine, which he
has not paid.
Water bury naa secured Pitcher Bill
McCleary from Jersey City. There Is
a report that Outfielder Jack Hoey may

KIDNEY BLOW BARRED
BY WISCONSIN LAW
(By T. S. Andrews.) ;
The passing of the Heddlng nosing '.
bill by both branches of the Wlseon- 1
sin legislature must be gratifying to
the boxing fans of the state and to
M. J. A. Heddlng himself. The lat
ter, like Senator Frawley of New York
state (father of the New York boxing
bill), has been a great admirer of ath
letics of all kinds, including boxing,
and he made the grandest kind of a.
fight for the pcunrtge of the bill, once
he took hold of the matter. Mr.
Heddlng was one of the stars of the
baseball nine at Wisconsin university
and he has mixed in other lines of
sport, so that he knew .what he was
talking about when he tackled the
boxing bill.
The bill, which legalizes boxing in
Wisconsin, is drawn after the New
York bill, although there are several
amendments to It all of which should
help the game. The size of gloves
are graduated according to the
weights of the contestants. For in
stance, boxers under the 133 pound
class must wear nothing under five
ounces, while those under the middle
weight limit of 158 pounds, must don
six ounce gloves, or over, and those
above the middleweight limit must
wear nothing lees than seven ounce
gloves. It Is a sensible move and
will not hurt the game in any way.
The kidney blow, which has always
been obnoxious to most fans. Is also
barred and referees will have to be
Instructed on what constitutes a kid
ney blow. ,
The commission plan, the same as
in New York, Is to be followed and
there is no reason why It should not
succeed. The members of the com
mission - should be men well up in
athletics and .boxing and who are fa
miliar with such work. The clubs
are obliged to pay over a license and
also 5 per cent, of all receipts to the
state, which means that all bouts will
be under the supervision, to a certain
extent, of the commission.
The clubs will be obliged to go
along carefully and observe all the
rules of the commission. However,
the Milwaukee clubs have been noted
in the past for the excellent manner
in which they have conducted the
shows and they will not have to change
their ideas to any extent. It will mean
better Shows, for the clubs will he
enabled to get the best of boxers,
which Is much better than putting on
untried boxers who do not really know
the game. Mr. Heddlng can be re
lied upon to take a personal interest
In the working of the bill and to of
fer his services where they may be
needed to keep the game on a sound
basis.
People who suffer from acidity
should eat acid fruits with, farina
ceous food.
In cooking asparagus for salad, it
should be dropped into cold water
when done.
