Charlev MurDhv Savs Evora
And Zimmerman Didn't Get
: Free Treatment.
. Chicago, Sept. 25 Cook county hos
pital records indicating John J. Evers
mid Henry Zimmerman received
treatment there were contradicted
last night by Charles , W. Murphy,
president of the Chicago National
League Club. Mr. Murphy denied
emphatically that any member of the
ball club ever had received treatment,
free or otherwise, at the county hos
pital. The records containing the
names of the ball players were un
earthed In an investigation following
charges that persons well able to pay
utilized the hospital to the exclusion
of the charity patients, for whom it
was intended. , .
The hospital record shows that Au
gust 7, 1905, John Evers was admit
ted to the Institution, where he re
mained until August 19. His occupa
tion was given as a ball player. June
2. 190S, Henry Zimmerman, whose oc
cupation also was given as a ball
player, was admitted to the hospital
and treated until June 15.
Mr. Murphy contended that the en
tries .did. not refer to the members
of the. National .League ciub. ,

Boxing Commission Decides It Best Not To
Allow Mixed Fights
' Gunboat Smith, the king of the
white hopes, and Sam Langofrd, the
Boston Tar Baby, will not clash in the
scheduled ten round bout at Madison
Square Garden tomorrow evening,
and in all probability the pair never
will swap wallops in New York State.
At a meeting of the State Athletic
Commission yesterday the' Commis
sioners unanimously decided to en
force ,. the rule prohibiting mixed
matches, and William Gibson, man
ager of the Garden A. C, who appear
ed before the Commissioners, last
night announced that he had called
off the proposed contest.
Following a consultation between
Attorney General Carmody and
Chairman Frank O'Nell of the State

JIMMY CALLAHAN IS ;
PICKING PHILADELPHIA
Manager , Jimmie Callahan, of the
Chicago White Sox, feels positively
sure that the Athletics are going to
win the world's championship. ', Ha
claims that .if .class has anything to
do with the result Connie Mack's men
will prove their superiority, and from
the way that Comiskeys right hand
man talks it doesn't appear as though
the fight would .be a remarkably touga
one either.
"They can say all they want to about
the Athletics' weak pitching staff, but
I can't see where it Is so terribly
weak. Maybe Connie has uced a few
pftchers m, a number of games. I be-
livehe-, did- this4 Mr much- to- give his
second string of men experience as to
save the game. .
"I know from " the way that Chief
Bender has shown against us lately
that he has never worked better in
his life. The Indian has come back
this season and in wonderful style.
As far as Eddie Blank is concerned,
I have no . fear of him in, the world's
series. I believe that he' can" dupli
cate the showing' he - made two sea
sons ago against McGraw's men.
"Plank, Bender, Houck and either
Brown or Shawkey are the pitchers
who will be used in this series, to my
mln.s You will find that the two vet
erans will be in top-notch condition
at this time.' Hot weather generally
tells 'upon the veterans, but in iSrto
ber there is no hot sun to sap their
vitality. For this reason both of these
men will be In conidtion to stand the
gaff,
- "I imagine that Houck will pitch a
great game against the Giarits if he is
worked. -He watches the bases close
ly, -as do- Plank and -Bender, but
Brown is not as good in this respect,
and my men have never experienced
a Whole lot of trouble in getting a
lead on this last named Awirler. Shaw
key, -1 believe to be a splendid young
ster, although there is ho telling;how
he can stand the strain of such an im
portant series. Still, there is always
some youngster arising to the occasion-in
such, a-.crisis. - Look at the way.
that Babe Adams put it on Detroit a
few years ago. Take the case" of Hugh
Bedient, who stood the Giants on their
heads last fall. '
"Let them talk as they will about
the weakness of Mack's pitching staff.
Where will you find a greater ball
club? The answer to all this criticism
is given in the standing of the Mack
men They are up on top today in
spite of all these alleged weaknesses.
And they are so far ahead that there
will not be any one overworked in one
of those grueling finishes that some
people are so fond of writing about.
"They have' shown their class by
holding the lead all the way so easily,
and with their greatest pitcher, Jack
Combs, lost to them. Joe Wood was
injured this year, and the Red Sox
fell by the wayside. Ed Walsh went
back ' on us this season, although
through no fault of his, and as you
can see, this killed our chances. When
ever a ball club loses the services of its
greatest pitcher, and yet fights its way
up to the top of the league, you can
make up your mind that this club has
the real goods.
"And that is what the Athletics are
the real goods. They have a won
derful batting team, and their outfield
as well as their infield is a great in
stitution. And when you come to talk
of hitters take any one of the num
ber and the other club has to keep all
eyes open when he comes to bat. I
dread Jack Barry as much as any one
on the team when there are men on
bases. He has broken up several
games this season to my - sorrow." -

in the Attorney General's opinion the
commission was not empowered to
prohibit mixed bouts unless it thought
trouble might ensue. In another of
ficial opinion which was received
from Carmody by the Commissioners
late yesterday afternoon the Attorney
General declares - the- commission is
empowered under the Frawley law
to make such rules.
The commission decided that it was
for the best interests of the sport to
enforce the rule, which was not fram
ed to discriminate against colored
boxers but to help preserve order and
decency in the boxing' game. , The
commission . believes it for the good
of the sport that white and colored
boxers not be allowed to appear
against one another. The boxers

RITCHIE DENIES HE
DUCKED FRED WELSH
(By T. S. Andrews.)
What is the real reason for ;Willie
Ritchie calling off his match with
Freddy Welsh, the British champion,
at Vancouver, B. C, which had been
set for September 20? There must
be something 'besides the talk of
squabbling over a share in the con
cessions, which amounted to $5,000.
Chet - Mclntyre, the promoter of the
fight,; stated that the concession end
of it was a joke, as there'-, was not
much involved and it would have been
the easiest kind of a matter to settle
that part of the argument. Mr. Mc
lntyre claims that at Seattle Ritchie
told him he had been worried by the
actions of Harry Pollok, manager for
Freddy Welsh, and that he had not
been able to get in proper condition.
If that is true then Willie had better
get a manager and ; let the latter do
the worrying.
si ' do not place any reliance in the
reports about "cold feet" "and all that,
for Ritchie has proven that he is a
fighter. Any one who will stack up
against Ad Wolgast and beat him, al
so Joe Rivers and others, must-be be
yond the "cold feet' habit. It may be
true that Ritchie was not in shape for
such a fight. If such was the ' case
it would have been much better for
him to admit . the truth and ask for
additional time to train and get in
proper shape, for Freddy Welsh is not ,
the kind of boy who would ask an op
ponent to meet him out of condition.
Ritchie was getting a small fortune
for his end, $16,000 cash and an -interest
in" the moving picture privileges
which would amount to considerable"
in Canada and Great Britain.
This is the second time Welsh has
been disappointed in a big match, his
bout with Ad Wolgast for the cham-J
plonship having been called off when
the Michigan boy was taken ill and
had to be operated on. Now this one
with Ritchie, which was for the
world's title, makes the second run of
hard luck for the little Welshman. It
is hoped that they will be brought to
gether again, for neither one can
claim the world's title until they meet
and settle the question. It is likely
that both Welsh ' and Ritchie will
come east, as there will hardly be
anything doing in. that line out on the
coast of California for a while, and
both are after the, long green. .
There are several lightweights wait
ing to get a chance at either one,
among them, Charlie White, Leach
Cross, Tommy Murphy, Jimmy Duffy,
Sammy Robideau, Young Saylor and
others, so they need not feel shy about
hitting, the big "white way" of the
bright spots around Chicago and Mil
waukee. Then there are Jack Briton
an " Packey McFarland, both of the
185 pound class, who will be tickled
half to death to take either champion
on at the weight mentioned. That is
the ambition of Packey's life to get
into a match for the light weight' title
at a weight he can make, and he says
he can do J35 pounds all right.
Later T a.m -inst in r- ni Tif-
ter from Willie Ritchie, ..telling of his
troubles at Vancouver. He says in
part: "Can better explain my reason
for refusinsr to tro on with the matnh
at Vancouver when I see you. I was
tired of the tactics employed by Harry
Pollok, manager " of Welsh. I am
ready to make a match with Welsh
at any time .and go through with it
when Pollok and Welsh are ready to
do business in the right way. The
story that I quit cold is too ridiculous
to consider, and you can bet when
the proper terms are arranged, and as
I said before, Pollok wakes up and
does business in a business-like man
ner why I will be there- all right.
Yours sincerely, Willie Ritchie."
, While Ritchie will try and rake in
the long green in the east Freddy
Welsh may go to Winnipeg for a
match with Young Saylor of Indian
apolis. Ray Bronson, the manager
of Saylor, has received an offer for his
young lightweight to meet Welsh in
the Canadian city and will in all prob
ability accept, providing Freddy can
be secured. Welsh, of course, is
anxious to get after Ritchie again and
says he will keep on his trail until
he does land a match, and no one
will blame him for trying to put it
through.

HARTFORD WINNER
IN EXCITING GAME
Lowell, Sept. 25 The fifth game of
the championship series between
Lowell of the New England league and
Hartford of the Eastern association,
played at Spalding park yesterday af
ternoon was won by the Nutmeg visit
ors, by a score of 4 to 3. The contest
was marked by weird playing at times
and at other periods of the game both
teams showed big league class. It was
all kinds of baseball and the 4,500
fans on hand certainly received their
money's worth.
Lowell blew up in the third in
ning, when a combination of three
misplays and two timely singles re
sulted in four tallies for Hartfor6, its
only . runs of the game. With the
game, 4 to 3 against them in the ninth
inning, the locals got a man as far
as second with no one . out, but Sal
mon "tightened up ana by clever worn
retired the side scoreless. In doing so
he purposely passed Miller and took a
chance on Thomas on the third .out
and carried through the play success
fully. ,
' In individual honors, Kauff, Hart
ford's clever right fielder, shared
more than any of his fellow players.
It was his hit, the first single made
by Hartford, that scored the first run
for his club, and more than that it
was his marvelous one-hand running
catch in the fourth inning that cut
oft Lowell's chances of at least tying
up the score in that session. The catch
was made off Dee's bat. The ball
seemed labeled for at least three
bases, but Kauff was after the sphere
at the crack of the bat and landed
the ball on this bare hand, while on
the dead run.
Salmon, the star side-wheeler for
Hartford, pitched a fairly good game,
especially in the last stages of the
contest. Lowell touched up his deliv
ery for 10 safeties, three of them good
for two bases, but they didn't come at
a time when they meant runs, while In
Hartford's case its hits were made
when men were on the bases. The
series p to date now stands, Lowell
three, Hartford two. The score:

Harvey Hubbelis And Yost& Stan Series
Saturday For City Title
(By Wagner.)
The Yost football team will have a
fine schedule for the local football
fans this season. All the leading elev
ens of -the state will' appear at Yost
field. Among t.hose slated to play here
are the Thomaaton boys, , who were
sought as opponents last season but
could not be secured. The crack sol
dier team from Fort Slocum, the
heavy Washington Glee club of New
Haven, which battled with the Yosts
for the title last year, and the Annex
team, also of the Elm City, are on the
list. The Glees will probably be here
the Sunday before Thanksgiving. The
Acorns of Waterbury, .Rockville and
Bristol are others who have accepted
dates. The West Point second team
has written to Manager Keenan ask
ing for a game hut no decision has
been reached regarding this. Coach
McCormick has called the first prac
tice of the Yost squad for tonight and
all wishing a tryout are urged to re
port at Yost field at 8 o'clock. There
will be a diseuseiori and plans of cam
paign will be mapped out.
The1 players in the Hartford-Lowell
series will split $2,817 as .their share of
the ;receiptsof the first four games.
Hartford ' had a greater attendance
than Lowell and the grand stand re
ceipts were also greater. If Hartford
wins each player will get about $130,
but Lowell has a, larger squad and
their individual shares will be smaller
if they capture the series.
Benny Kauff was so elated because
he was drafted by Indianapolis that
he made a one hand catch of a liner
yesterday and saved Hartford from
being beaten. Benny started poorly in
the season but he is going great guns
now. .
The national commission has handed
down a ruling forbidding any ball
player from writing accounts of the
world's series under his own name.

Brown starts the season with a lot
of green material, the task to develop
a fast team for the Yale and Harvard
games tmitfg the hardest Robinson has
had since he has been coaching at
Providence.
Dartmouth has no game with Har
vard this fall, but should get a big
revenue from its match with Pennsyl
vania in Philadelphia and against the
Carlisle Indians in New York.
Weatherhead.one of last year's ends
in Cambridge, will not return to col
lege this1 fall. Leary, however, has five
other old men in O'Brien, Coolidge,
Smith, Dana and Milholland.
The Cornellians, who (will go to
Cambridge, November 1, are having
two long practice sessions daily. Al
Sharpe is coaching again and has one
of the biggest squads ever, organized
at Ithaca. ,
E.' F. "Ver Wiebe, the Crimson's
great 1908 halfback, is en the official
list for games in the west. - He is in
Minneapolis.
E. N. Robinson of Brown will have
at least one first-class backfield man
if Pat Casey get's back into college.
Casey, who was good ' last year, was
declared -ineligible and was sought by
several of the Pennsylvania college
coaches.
Yale will play no games away from
New Haven this fall until it goes to
Cambridge to meet Harvard on Nov
ember 22. Princeton will he at home
except on November 15, when it plays
Yale at New Haven, and Harvard's
only trip will be to Princeton to play
the Tigers on November 8.
George Brooke, who not only was
Pennsy's greatest punter, but the best
the game ever produced, not except
ing Baird of Princeton and Haughton
and Felton of Harvard, expects to
have 150 men in his varsity squad at
the University of Pennsylvania when
college opens. '
University of Nebraska, which in
the past often has been coached by
Eastern men, will be looked after by
a westerner again. Coach Stiehm,
however, will be assisted from time to
time by j Stanford White, the Prince
ton star of 1911, and by G. C. Dudley,
a Dartmouth backfield man in 1810
and 1911.
Syracuse will have a rushline aver
aging close to 198 pounds this fall and
a light, shifty " backfield, averaging
about 165 pounds.
MARQUARD AND . 1
DEVORE JOINED GIANTS
''"'. 4 YEARS, AGO TOAY
Rube Marquard pitched his first
game for, the Giants just four years
ago today, Sept. 25, 1909. To secure
the services of the divinely tall and
most divinely beautiful young twirler,
the New York Nationals had paid
Indianapolis the stupendous sum of
$11,000, the highest price ever paid
up to that time for a minor league
player. When the Rube occupied the
rubber for his -big show debut, he was,
as the poet says, the cynosure for all
eyes. Cincinnati was the opposing
team, and what them horrid Reds did
to Rube was a sin and a shame. The
"$11,000 beauty" lasted about as long
as an icycle in Panama.
During the remainder of the 1909
season Marquard pitched seventeen
more games, winning only five of
thm. T-Tr t t-s n: tv!M ftr; a Lond
the Southern league, is the last ap
plicant for the Job of managing the
Bridgeport baseball club next season.
Bernhard writes that he has had long
experience in handling teams and he
thinks he could make a winner of
the locals. Mike Finn, who managed
Waterbury in 1910, will succeed Bern
hard at Memphis. Finn handled Mo
bile the past season and host the pen
nant on the last day of the schedule.
Joe Horner, a former athletic star
of the University of Michigan, will go
to Germany to help Alvin Kraenzlein
coach the Teutonic athletes for the
Olympic games. Horner will special
ise in weight events.
Yale opened the football season well
by giving Wesleyan a bad trimming.
Yale has a bunch of long limbed play
ers this year and: beefy boys are not
in evidence.
If Hartford wins the post season
series, the Senators will probably ap
pear at Newfield park Sunday in. a
game against the All-Bridgeport ag
gregation. . Secretary Reddy of the
local club has wired Manager " Mc
Donald for a date.
Hyder Ba'rr, the crack New Haven
outfielder, has recommended, a young
outfielder to Owner Cameron of the
Wings. Cochran of the Appalachian
league is the youngster. He batted
.401 last season and made 23 home
runs. Cameron will probably put in a
draft for him.
Sam Crane, the New York Journal
baseball writer, says Bill Holden, the
New London recruit, is sure to make
good with the New York Americans.
The Harvey Hubbelis and Yosts will
start a series for the championship of
the city next Saturday. They will play
the first game at Yost field and will
clash on the; same grounds Sunday.
If a third game is necessary the field
will be selected later. Whalen and
Johnson will do the pitching for the
Hubbelis. Finn will pitch the first
game for the Yosts. Both teams have
an army of supporters and a large at
tendance is expected, i
suffragette. Speed he had in suffici
ency, and a stock of puzzling benders,
but he couldn't get 'em over. He
manifested little ' better control in the
early part of 1910, and his popular
title of "the $11,000 lemon" was well
earned. Since then the Rube has
come to the front as one of the great
est twirlers in baseball, and has prov
ed that "he is worth all McGraw paid
for him, and then' some.
Richard de Marquis is the . real
monaker of the great slab artist. He

in the Central League, in 1907, when
eighteen years old. The . following
year he went to Indianapolis, and his
record with the Hoosiers induced Mc
Graw to pay a record-breaking price
for him. The big southpaw . is now
in his twenty-fifth year. He is a na
tive of Cleveland, O., and is of French
descent. '
Joshua Devore, the midget outfield
er, also made his debut with the
Gints four years ago today. Josh, al
so a native of Ohio, began playing
ball with Meridian, in the Cotton
States League, and was with Newark,;
in the Eastern, when called to New
York. During the tail-end of the 1909
season he appeared in nineteen games,
and was little more successful than
Marquard. In 1910 he hit his stride,
and swatted the pill for an average cf
.304. Josh was sold to the Reds this
year, and Cincinnati disposed of him
to the Phillies.

AL PALZER LOSES
TO CHARLEY MILLER
Big Fighters Pound Each Other
In New York Ring.
Charley Miller, the heavyweight from
the Pacific Coast, had the better of
AI Palzer in the ten-round wind-up at
the St. 'Nicholas A. C. last night,
though he was a very sorry looking
victor at the end. Just at the cloie of
the ninth round one of Al's best right
hand uppercuts tore a gash 'over Mil
ler's left eye. He was practically blind
throughout the tenth, and here Palzer
did most of his heavy execution.
" Palaer looked better trained than in
his last appearance. Miller , emei
very fat. Both weighed the same, 22
pounds.
For nine rounds Miller, who seemed
much faster, though far wilder and
more awkward,' carried the figiit to
Palzer. Several times he had Al hold
ing on. At the end of the seventh Pal
zer seemed ready to drop. Miller's
punch- was lacking. He had wasted
too much strength dancing about in
the early numbers.
Palzer scored the only knockdown.
In the fifth Miller bumped into a right
swing to the jaw. He -was up in a
second. Miller fell in the sixth, when
he missed a swing. It was a very' ex
citing exhibition.

1855 Tom Sayers knocked out
"Bloody'' Rhodes in 3 rounds, begin
ning fhis remarkable ring career which
soon led to the championship. Say
ers, who was very small for a heavy
weight, won the title in 1857 by de
feating Bill Perry, the Tipton Slasher,
a huge, uncouth giant. The Perry
Sayers battle was a memorable ex
hibition of skill and science pitted
against brute strength. One round
lasted thirty minutes, while the puff
ing giant chased the nimble Sayers
about the ring. Three year after
winning the title Sayers fought an
other remarkable battle with John
Heenan, a gigantic -Irish-American,
which, was ended by official interfer
ence. Sayers retired the undefeated
champion.

Denning in 10 rounds at New York.
