CLOSE BATTLE FOR MAJOR LEAGUE FLAG CAUSES TROUBLE II I L Many Magnates Accuse Owner of Giants of Attempting to Buy a Pennant and Action Is Unpopular With the Fans; Purchase of High Class Men From Other Clubs Is All in the Game, However, and It Goes. nr jack vmocrc NEW YORK. Aug. 23 Ttfe merry mag-nates of the major leagues ued to be very cltibby. T me was when they palled around arm m arm, so to speak, and man nzed to get along quite fraternally Uut tw3ently that time has passed. T::e clubby feelingrs tmong the irairs and managers his year has ap Pbtv :Iy been affected by the hed-bot ffjl t m both leagues to recoup war time Josses at the turnstile. Mnny Deals Made. At any rate, though many deals nave been made, and some of them Tirpnjnng' deals, to say the least, the 'individual clubs are striving to o it-Harutn each other; to bolster tre;-- entries here and there without regard or say about it. This Is pure-; lv rmess and business, to say the! Certain club owners In the Na tional Leasee have yelped, and hollered lan? and loudly because the Giants put 'across mtd-season deals w hlch stretrathened the Hcdran lineup considerably. Yet each club baa the same chanee If It -vrants to make a swap here nnd pot out a ferr thousand dollars there to get a player irho is need ed to keep Its team In the ran 'nlnff. The New York .club, of course, has plenty of money to spend. Manager MoGraw has always had a full purse to araw zrozn. ana me records or deals for a number of years show mat no nas never nesitatea to open the pursestrings; Tet McGraw has played no favorites in the manner of deals. He has dealt with every club in the league at some time or other and that club has generally oeen satiszieo. Giants Not Popular. New York's apparent effort to "buy a pennant" was not calculated to be a faUrhly popular more with the fans in Cincinnati, Chicago or Pittsburg and it wasn't. But the fans around the league said many unkind .things about the Cubs when they bought Alex and Kiilifer. It Is always that way. If the rival magnates want to keep John McGraw from creating n market for blmaelf yrnen be needs n market to jro to they ought to make him bant else where for players. It's nil In tbe igame. and for thnt matter the DREAJIS RESULT OP FIGHT. -O Lord -N'ewborougl. writes to 0 the Dally Mail from Plas Am- herst, Harlech, North "Wales, O stating that the result of the O O- Beckett-Goddard fight was re- vealed to him in a dream, and suggesting that his experience may be of interest "to dreamers 5--O and spiritualists." "Op the night before the fight. he says. "I dreamed that Beck- -O O ett had knocked out Goddard in the second round. The dream & O impressed mo little at the time, & but later I gave a sealed en- O v elope to my man-servant to O- open when he received the r - -O-O- suit of the fight in the Dally O Mail next morning. In the en- O velope was 'Beckett -KnocKs out o uoddard in secona rounay -O- which, of course, tallied with y the actual result." X& 4 xx &y&- Fast Baseball Games Labor Day;D.A. C. ToHaveCharge majority of National League clubs bare either made or attempted to make deals at one time or another this season. The Cincinnati clnb, for Instance, combed the bnveball market from end to end for an outfielder nnd would have given big money for the right player. In tbe American League the Carl Mays case brought out the fact that the dub owners are watching each other with Jealous eyes. No less than four clubs went after Carl Mays. When the Yanks landed him a big howl went tin from several American League clubs and the fans in their cities. Again, it's all in the game. Many Big Purchases. The many pre-season deals in the two big leagues that caused some thirty ball players of known calibre to change uniforiw hava proved sat isfactorily that a change of scenery or the makeup of a team every now and then is appreciated by the fans. Nothing quite pleases a 'Motorist so well as a "Lotta Miles. " You want a Good Tire, yes. But that's not enough you want the BEST. ' Springfi&ld LABOR DAY will be observed by two fast baseball games at Rio Grande park by teams of the Army and City league, playing under the auspices of the Robert B. Lee chapter. Daugh ters of the Confederacy. In view of the fact that the proceeds of the game are to be used as a benefit fund by the chapter, Rio Grande park has been donated by the city on that day and the usual 20 percent of the gross gate receipts will not be accept ed by the city treasurer. Players of the league are also contributing their services on this day in order to make the afternoon a success both from a financial and sportsmanlike point of view. Will Bay a Plot. The purpose of the benefit fund will be to provide a burial plot in Ever green cemetery for the interment of veterans of the late war who may die is CI Paso without relatives or friends. When nnch a case occurs, the matter will be taken in charge by the chapter nnd after burial a monument will be erected In hon or of the soldier who served hU country daring: the world war. President T. J. McCamant of the Army and City league stated Sat urday morning that the purpose was certainly a laudable one nnd teams scheduled to play on Labor day -would put forth their best ef forts to make the afternoon one that will be remembered by the baseball fans. Managers Favor Benefit. "At a recent meeting the league managers voted in favor of playing a benefit for the fund If Rio Grande park was contributed by the council free of charge," he said. This is the biggest item of expense, naturally, and in view of the fact that the mem bers of the Robert E Lee chapter have arranged for a wide campaign of ticket selling for the games we are making arrangements for one of the biggest crowds in the history of the park." Had Biff Turnout. On July 4 the teams played to a record crowd, the funds on this day also going to the Daughters of the Confederacy. Teams billed to meet on Labor day are the Duty Dodgers and Zone Supply In the first contest nnd the Eighth Engineers and Tompkins Terriers in the second. The Zone-Dodger battle will bring together the t-o sterling south paws, Ponsford. and Mulcahy,. again, nnd as all fans remember their last meeting there is little doubt but they will turn out in considerable numbers. The Zone team has been strength ened since the last meeting and Maj. Conlln promises to spring something new on the Dodger rivals.

Lincoln has done all of his preparatory work in Tucson norking out with Al McXanns and other hard hitting scrappers, while Bums also trained in that city for the contest- It is not known whether arrangements have been made to ob tain the services of an outside referee for the encounter or not. 31c3Jonns Wants Boat. Mohan writes that Al McManus. the coast lightweight whom he is keeping in his stable of mitt pushers, is billed to meet a fast boy in Tucson on Labor day and that he would like to get him on in El Paso. Mohan Intends to come to this city shortly after Lalor day for tbe pnrpose of looking Into local prospects. Lincoln has been men tioned as a prospective opponent of Ttiek Gnndy here, and as the westerner earned n previous de cision oyer the local favorite it would not surprise the fans to see him pnt on within the next month or so. Mohan's letter in connection -with things fistic in Arixona follows: "Al McManus meets Chet Neff here I on Labor day and if he wins I would like to challenge Tommy Carter for a boat. TCarter has boxed Neff two draws. McManus' had very little trouble in winning from Green and would have knocked him out had the bout been a 12 round contest, and I dont see why Green offers an alibi, as he never could have pnt up the fight he did had he not been in good shape. He stated before the bout that he was in the best shape of his career. "McManus is a natural lightweight, and has beaten every good boy on the coast. I am planning a trip to El Paso after Labor day, and will drop in and see you. Mr. Kelly is right about Arizona needing a commission as there is too much fighting among the promoters and unless something is done the game will not last long In this state. I have a boy by the name of Happy 'Woods boxing here. -tie was to nave met Frenenle marias but Desmarlas was badly beaten last night by a boy named Kid Palmer and the promoter here has substituted battling Burt of Miami I have received letters every day for tne past two weexs from some or the best boys on the coast wanting to come to Arizona and TH Paon fnr bouts, but believe we have enough boys here to fill all dates for the present. Thanking yon for yonr letter and hoping to hear from yon again In the near future I reman, yours truly, "Earl Mohan." ISA El Announcement Us Kid Palmer, 19th Infantry Is Latest Star Mitt Pusher SO DECISIVE was the victory of Kid Palmer over French! Desma rlas in Douglas several nights ago that the fans of that section are boosting- him as a coming welter weight champ and efforts will be for him within the next two months. Palmer is a product of the 19th In fantry, a part of which Is stationed in Bl Paso, and is under, the direction of Capt- Hlte, of this regiment, ac cording to reports from the Arizona city. He won the championship of the arm? in that district, and in the words of George Kelly, a well known Arizona boxing critic looks UKe the best boy developed in tbe army in a long time." Likes Lincoln Too George is enthusiastic over the work of the .soldier crlove wielder and predicts an excellent future for htm. Incidentally, be has a word to say of Ralph Lincoln, Earl Mohan's fast protege, who has defeated everything or his welgnt in tne aria state. The Donglas boxing promoter also come In for a nice little boost from Mr. Kelly, who has been In the boxing? game Ionic: enough to know a fast mixer when, he sees one In the following dissertation on fight topics he gives his opinion of the two men: I see in vonr columns tnis morn ing that the present champion holders are not in danger. Well, I think that there is two that are In danger, right now, if the two boys that I mention are Riven tbe chance. "Tnev are tne Bantamweient ana welterweight classes. There is no doubt in my mind that Ralph Lincoln can defeat any boy in the world at the bantamweight limit, 116 pounds. He Is a natural bantamweight, and is tbe bisrgest cinch in the world to defeat the present champion if tbey are matched. I know that Earl Mo han has tried to match Lincoln with Hermann all over the world, but he cannot aet Hermann in a rins: with the little coast champion. lie nas been in toncn ttiui every promoter In tbU country trylnjr to get nermann at 11C pounds, but It teems that lie does not want any of Lincoln's jraroe, and If ever a boy was entitled to a crack at the champion It Is Lin coln os he has done everything that the promoters have asked him to do. lie has Riven array weight to every boy that he has boxed In the last year. A'aimer is uooa. j "And tbe other young man that 1 refer to is Kid Palmer, the champion of the U. S. army In this district. He sure looks like the best boy developed in the army. He has everything that It takes to make a champion. He is a very clever boy and knows the game xrom a. io z. ana ir ne ever gets a chance to box Jack Britton for the title you will sure see a new cham pion. This Is Just the kind of a boy that it takes to unset the champion, a young, strong boy 18 years of age and a. marvel for speed. I have seen all of the good welters box Britton, and this Is really the only boy that I see around the country that will defeat him if given a match. I am In touch with those who have the concession at tbe Arizona state fair, and if they give me the conces sion X am almost sure that It will be the champion and Kid Palmer for the state fair week champion battle, as he In thtt OTlIv hor Brnnnri thai 'nilr. tilra he has a chance to take the title away I from Leonard or Britton. 1920 Hupmobiles 1920 j Are in El Paso ready for your inspection.
