Chicago Lightweight Has
Boxed 10 Champions but
Never Successfully.
By TOM ANDREWS.
Milwaukee Wit, Aug 4 Charley
Whie- Chicago lightweight, has had
more chances to annex championships
than most any other boxer, bat he
never succeeded in wearing the crown
n any of the classes he tackled. In
all the Chicago lad had ten tries at
the tiles in the featherweight and
lightweight divisions, gains against
Aba Atteii (twice), johnny KJinane.
Ad Wolpaat. Freddy Welsh, Willie
Ritchie and Benny Leonard. When
he fought Ritchie in Milwaukee he
had him down and nearly ont in the
first round, but failed to follow his
seconds' advice and let the champion
recover
Had Another Chance.
It was the same with Attell once
and he had the best of Wolgast In one
fignt. also with Fredy Welsh, but
lacked the aggressiveness at the right
time, nis tenth chance came with
Benny Leonard at Benton Harbor,
Mich., July S, when he sent Benny
through the ropes, but again he failed
to follow -Qp his advantage. From
those close up to the ring it Is
clamed that Charley caught Benny
off balance and hit him on the coin
as he was going back.
The blow sent the champion against
the ropes and Benny, as he said after
wards, thought he would rebound
from the ropes a la Johnny Dtmdee,
and catch White before he could step
back, but the ropes, instead of hold
ing, slipped ever his head and this
let him slide through to the floor.
Referee Smith began to count as the
seconds of Benny pushed him back
into the ring. White nor his seconds
irade no complaint and the referee
naturally let it go, although there
was a chance for a technical fouX
Failed To Use Judgment,
However, there would have been a
wild howl from the big crowd had
the championship been taken away
on a iiuae or tsar Kina ana tne-rer-eree
used good judgment tn paying
no attention to it. However this
Is where White fell down. In the
past, under the direction of Nate
Le wis, he had been coached to always
follow up an advantage, but seemed
unable to do so. The time of the
Ritccie incident I can remember Nate
Lewis calling to Charley what to do,
that is In a low tone of voice, which
was heard Just the same, but White
lorgot an ne nao been told and let
the chance of his life slip by
It was too same all through his
matches Lewis always tried to make
him take the aggressive for that
was his forte in boxing In his final
chance for a title against Leonard,
and acting without a manager, he be
came aggressive, but at the critical
point fell down. To his credit It must
be said that White put tip the best
fight of his career and It Is too bad
he did not start the same tactics
sooner He needs Nate Lewis or a
man like Lewis to help htm in the
pinches. Charley seeks anoher match
with Leonard and no doubt will be
accommodated, but he will find Benny
in better shape next time.

MIMM1ZKS TUK EVII.
It being admitted that the
habit of intentional passing
of a batter Is considered a
serloos menace to the life of
the game only when Babe
Bath is the passee. perhaps
we can trust the solution of
the problem to manager Stil
ler Huggins, of the Tankees
By his present arrangement
of batting order he at least
has reduced the number of
intentional passes Ruth s
Ukei7 to get from day to
day and perhaps as Bob
Heusel becomes better ac
quainted with big league
pitching Huggins plan will
have almost entirely elimi
nated the evil granting al
ways that the evil exists,
only when Babe Ruth is
passed, and that in the case
of other batters it does not
amount to a "problem" that
must be solved.
TXaalon ha. won every bout he
ha. participated in at the punch
bowl this year by consistent
punching and he X. expected to
meet an able rival In the ragged

able luck in two of his contest,

The third title to be contested will

mendous following among the soldier

Why Itch and Burn
With Skin Diseases?
There la a 'Way to Get Bid of the
Torturous Suffering
Those who rely upon local treat
ment such as ointments, salves, lo
tions, washes, etc, which are applied
to tne surface of the skin, will never
be free from agonizing skin diseases,
because they are going about the
treatment Just backwards. They are
treating the results of the disorder,
and not the disease Itself They are
attempting to boll water by applying
the heat in the wrong place.
These terrifying skin irritations,
eczema, utter, bolls, pimples, etc
have their origin In a disordered con
dition of the blood. They come from
a coony of tiny germs which get Into
il e blood and multiply by the million.
Do rot expect to be cured of any
form of skin disease by the use of
lotions, salves, ointments or other lo
cal treatment as such remedies can
not possibly reach the source of the
trouble, which Is the blood.
When any of these symptoms ap
pear on! any part of your body, you
should take prompt steps to rid the
blood of the germs which cause them.
And the one remedy which has no
equal as a blood cleanser Is S. S. S.
which is sold by druggists every
where. Begin taking S. S. a today and
write a complete history of your case
to our Chief Medical Adviser, who
will give you special instructions
without charge. Write at once to

W in New York Sam Rice walked
over to the Yankees' bench
during practice and handed Roger
Pecklnpaugh a hat, saying:
"Peck, do you want a bat to bit
fungoes with? I tried to fatten
my batting average with It, but
hit nothing but air, so you can
have it- There wasn't a hit In the
whole forest they cut this bat
from."
Peck tried the bat in the game
that day and all he got was a
three-bagger and two doubles.
Ho hunted up Rice after the
game and asked him If any other
Washington player had a ""fungo
bat" he'd like to get rid of, but
Rice was too sore to answer him.

John McCloskey J
No Longer Pilot
Memphis, Tenn, Aug. 4. The Mem
phis club directors have removed the
veteran John J. McCloskey as mana
ger of the local Southern league team
and named Jack Lewis, second base
man of the team, as his successor
McCloskey. it Is stated, will be re
tained on the payroll as a scout for
the club. McCloskey rebuilt the
Memphis team last spring and had It
going well for awhile, but It fell into
a slump a month ago and has been
dropping toward the bottom.
One of the reasons given for re
moving McCloskey was that he was
handicapped in managing from the J
Dencn Decause or the accident a cou
ple of months ago whleh resulted In
the loss of an eye. Intimations of
tlj change were given a couple of
weeks ago when the club directors
sent McCloskey on a scouting expedi
tion. Polly McLarry was '.hen put In
charge of the team, as Lewis was out
of the game with injuries.

T ONDON, Eng, Aug. 4 England's
J- tennis devotees took William Til

world's tennis champion by reason of
his defeat of Paters on, the Australian,
and former holder, to their hearts
because he was a sportsman, every
in en. rney liKea niv styia or piay,
revelled in his every turn on the
courts at Wimbledon that showed
the real Americanism, and showered
him with invitations to "come back."
A closeup of Tilden, as set down
by a writer for the London Daily Ex
press, preceding the match for the
championship, follows
1Ir Tilden.- said T. after I had
run mm to earth m the dressing room
at Wimbledon, "I am now about to

said the vounir American slowlv and
deliberately
I pulled ont the paper on which I
was prepared to make a safety bet,

Is a Real Sport.
Mr W T. Tilden is a fine type of
sportsman. He is a little theatrical
perhaps, from our insular point of
view ,
He certainly does strike attitudes,
and, as he said to me "I sore can't
keep my mouth shut when I am play
Ing" Behind all these slightly exotic
mannerisms there is a firm founda
tion of good sense and good sports
manship. Ton could not conceive of Tilden
taking an unfair advantage of any
sort, and his genuine appreciation of
anything good In an opponent's game
is fine to see.
His cheerlaess and optimism
are absolutely eennine bat un
derneath ail this yon cannot help
noting- his strength of character.
He looks on the brlaht aide of
life, bat he Is determined to give
as crood an account aa possible of
himself In everything- that he
does.
As a crood American he la, of
course, all oat to defeat Patter
son. If he can. bat nrobablv no
one Is aware of the magnitude of
his task than U Tilden.
Whatever happens, he plays the
game and he win make no excuses.
"What do tou think of the Wimble
don crowd" I said as bs was putting
on his famous "teddy bear" sweater
"Think of them?" he replied. "They
are mo sportiest lot j. nave ever
played before "
And. beaming happllv, W. T Til

away.
