AL REICH FOLLOWS THE TRAIL V OF FALLEN “WHITE HOPES” Morris Ends His Aspirations in Two Short Rounds. FORMER AMATEUR A FIZZLE Fight Fans Keenly Disappointed at Unexpected Turn of Affairs. (BY J. P. N.) Carl Morris is back with us again and he will claim some attention, let mo tell you. A1 Reich moves away to less warlike climes and we are not likely to hear much more of him. The coming back of the one and the going out of the other came about as a result of a promised ten-round bout between these two worthies at Madi son Square Garden last night. —O— It was short and sweet, and rather surprising for the moment, the sud den termination of the contest. It came about In the second round— early In the second round—when Morris sent a straight right chop to Reich's Jaw and A1 found a soft spot on the floor where he rested until, in his own mind, he was positive that Referee Joh had counted off the full ten seconds. Even then he remained there, stretched out his full length on the canvas-covered floor, until thtv kind hands of his seconds half earrtcrl, half-pulled the fallen Idol to his corner. Even then Reich would have us believe that he was badly under the weather, for he made fun ny faces as If just "coming to,” and he performed in other ways to indi cate ,,g sudden and a surprising re turir* -to consciousness. As poor a fighter as Reich turned out to be he was even less a success as an actor, and lor the love of the game—for the loviv, of our old friend Mike—don’t let him go on the stage. We will ever^ patronize him in the ring again, but keep him this side of the foot lights. —©— The* sudden outcome of the battle was not expected, of course, but Mor ris aei the winner had the call be fore hand. The odds on Carl that he would win were 2% to I and some of the sports were betting 6 to 5 that Morris would beat Retch inside of six. rounds. The Indications came straight and true, but In those heavyweight encounters, especially when an untried youngster stacks up •gainst a trled-and-found-wanting veteran, it is a difficult matter to get an intelligent line on them they some times end so peculiarly and so abruptly. The one last night comes under this head, although In the first round it looked as If we might •ee a slashing good bout. But one round, was all, for Reich Is not a very ambitious young man. —© - Reich showed so well for a time PALZER TRAINING I c Ai Shifts Quarters to Prepare for Bout With Miller. *» • ___ OTHER BOXING GOSSIP A] Palzer has changed his training quarters from Woodlawn Inn to his old camp at Coytesville, where he will continue to prepare for his coming battle with Charlie Miller at St. Nich olas rink next week. Palzer says that he was never in better condition, and the bout with Mlllfcr promises to be a corker. Miller has 'trained carefully for. this fight, and Is expecting to make a big name for himself via the knockout route.

ADMISSION - * Sfo. 00c. 70C. 01 L y that there were whispers around the ring that a “white hope" was finally discovered. He boxed well and he covered well and he knew how to send a punch. He was beautifully built and was fast on his feet. He had the world before him and every thing In his favor, but he didn’t have the heart. He had none the worst of the opening round and he landed a few good lefts to the body, and one smashing right to the face. As the round neared the end it CQtild be seen that Reich ducked rather low to rictect himself, which is a bad sign, and the bloody lip seemed to bother him. All in all, though he did well and there was much praise for him during the minute's rest. There was a strong sympathetic sentiment also in evidence, for Reich is a picture —a pretty boyish face with a build that would appeal to a sculptor. He is 6 feet 2 inches and weighs 209H pounds last night. If you were to guess you would say he tipped the beam at not more than 180; yet, like the egg of King Solomon's time, all the beauty of figure and beauty of face wouldn’t win for him a prize fight if he hasn’t got the heart. As the second round opened Reich gave evidence of timidity, yet In a rather scared manner he sent a left and right to the head that made Mor ris shake. Then Carl did a little scrap ping on his own hook, but when he let up Al sent a right to the body that hurt. Instantly Morris crossed his right to Reich’s jaw, and the handsome youth, who Is said to be some shot-putter and whom we know to be some diver, took the most beau tiful fall imaginable. For an instant he didn’t know just what to do, for the force of the blow only sent him ,,n his haunches, but he made up his mind in a hurry, and took a peaceful 15-seconds’ sleep. As far as that was concerned, Reich did well, and maybe now that we have gone further Into the matter, he might make a not bad actor at all. He is handsome to look at. he Is beautiful of build, he falls well, and he might win his way as a matinee idol. Otherwise, we will re serve opinion. But Carl Morris! You wouldn't be lieve it Why, our old friend, the ice wagon, has developed into some boxer, some fighter, some Prospect. Not that he beat Reich, but that he showed evidence of vast improvement and a semblance here and there of class. He looked well trained, al though he weighed 235 pounds, and he performed as If he had been well coached in several phases of prize ring essentials. He can really hit now—hit hard, straight from the shoulder. He has surely learned a lot and he may make it interesting for some of our best "white hopes." He'll get all the work he wants, in a way, and the chances ar£“that the Gunboat Smiths and the Prank Mo rans will not want to meet him. They, no doubt, will figure that there is nothing in beating Morris, while to be beaten by Carl would mean posl ble oblivion. -© Dave Kurtz, of Newark, and Billy Grupp, of St. Louis, boxed ten rounds as a semi-final to the Morris-Reich bout. It was a good, hard fight, and Kurtz came out of it a winner. He bested Grupp in all the real clean fighting that was done, although Dave was at a great disadvantage in that Grupp was so tall Kurtz could hardly reach the Western man. Grupp, too, is a roughster of no mean order, and he was allowed to get away with all his foul tactics without a murmur. Later on, though, when Kurtz did a little roughing on his own hook, Mr. Grupp made pitiful appeals to the referee. Kurtz did well and he gave his opponent a good lacing. He might have won decisively, if he had followed up a few of the advantages that came his way. Grupp was bleed ing and badly bruised at the end, while Kurtz didn’t show a mark. Dave might amount to something if ho would only train properly. He was not in the best of shape last night and tired in the last few rounds. If he had been right on edge and strong he would have won his fight In six or seven rounds. But he is like other Newark boys who have had a bright future—tossed it away to the dogs. WEST HUDSON’TO TACKLE BROOKLYN Soccer Elevens Will Come To gether on Harrison Oval Tomorrow. AN EXHIBITION CONTEST Harrison oval will be the Mecca of the soccer football enthusiasts In this vicinity tomorrow, when the West Hudsons line up against the Brooklyn Football Club, which team is wall known because of the calibre of Its players. Brooklyn has made great preparations for the league sea son. and tomorrow's exhibition game with It will give the followers of the West Hudsons an opportunity to get a line on the Trolley-Dodgers, pros pects for a championship eleven. Among the players that will wear the Brooklyn Club’s "kilties" this season are: Archie Pennell, Small and Bob Miller of Tacony; Nell Clark, last year with the True Blues; John McLean, a for mer Hibernian player; Percy Adam son, who did such great work for the West Hudsons last season; Mann berg, the famous German Interna tional player, rated as the finest for ward In New York, and Van do Wege. another clever forward, who assisted the West Hudsons last season. With such a line-up the West Hud sons have a strenuous afternoon’s work cut out for them. Manager Murray has made progress with the work of the Hudsons, and It la a much-improved team that will face the Brooklynites. Andy Lawrle will referee the game, which will start at 3:30 In the afternoon. -s\5P°rt tropics J(o\iv* t^OT *** . V. IfHQn Bill Bailey is going to show us again tomorrow his ability as a cyclist, and the stranger from England means to show us well, it appears. He has been training hard during the week and is said to be fit, although he Is complaining of feeling laggy, a condi tion brought about, no doubt, by the Chango in climatic conditions. How ever, Bailey seems to have great speed, and Harry Kaiser, his oppo nent, has never shown sufficient speed to give him a look-in for victory. Yet stranger things have happened— the case of young Oulmet, the golfer, for Instance. ■—O— Donald McDougall, we are told, has been coaching Kaiser, in the hope that Donald will find out Just how good Mr. Bailey is. McDougall has been sprinting and doing other stunts with Kaiser, which shows that Donald at least isn't going to give up the ship until he is beaten. —O— A bit of news that is sure to inter est the fans is the fact that some of the boys who were sure that Bailey would "race McDougall's head off” are now not sanguine about it. Be fore Bailey arrived he was looked upon as a sort of in-a-class-by-hlm self amateur. Since his arrival, the McDougall supporters seem to have gained courage. It is true that so much praise of Bailey was pounded into the fans’ ears that they rather figured the race all over now, for no good reason, though. Donald is be lieved to have a man’s-size chance. To back this up we quote Harold Dibbler, an authority, in our humble opinion, about as good as we know of. “McDougall will beat Bailey,” Dib hler said last night. "Donald will do the last eighth of a mile in 12 seconds and Bailey can’t beat that. Yes," said Harold, in his most serious vein, "Bailey is as good as they said he was, but McDougall is a little bet ter." This is given to the fans, so that they will not become entirely dis couraged and think that all is lost; but, as I view the situation, Bailey is a wonderful amateur, and he is too much of a settled man for Donald. The golfing world is all agog. The wonderful play of Francis Ouimet, the Boston youth, in the national open tourney at Brookline yesterday, has attraoted world-wide attention to the youngster. In tieing Harry Vardon and Edward Ray, the great English golfers, Ouimet has fairly startled everybody. His masterful perform ance in accounting for a card of 304 for seventy-holes, exactly the same card turned in by Vardon and Ray, will go down in the history of the old Scotch game as a sure-enough mira cle. As a result of his clever work, Ouimet, along W'lth Vardon and Ray, will indulge in a three-ball lS-hole medal play round today. Pitted as he will be against two such famous knights of the links, it will be indeed interesting to watch for returns of the match. Surely, no one can hope for a victory for the Boston youth over those two tried and expert golfmen! An amateur of only twenty-two years, it would seem that the American had accomplished wonders already, and would not be equal to the occasion, yet it is said that Ouimet displayed great gameness on the last round and holed a seven-foot putt for the tieing score. Cheers greeted the boy when he had finished his stroke on the final green, and it was known that he had equalled the cards of Vardon and Ray. Not only cheers were in evidence, but 6houts of delight arose from the mul titude of Americans, who were proud of the young man’s efforts. Some of the more timorous and the more en thusiastic surrounded the youth and fairly threw him on their backs and marched off with him—the king—to the club-house. The boy was aghast with joy-fright, as he hung on for dear life. It was an unusual occasion on a golf links, where finger-tip ap plause is the true and genuine ap plause. For Ouimet, though, the bounds of everything were over stepped. It was so, we take it, be cause the performance was so unusual —so wonderful. Here was a boy play ing golf with the same rare skill of two of the greatest exponents of the game in the world. The demonstra tion, the honor, he was entitled to all. He saved the U. 8. A. from a most ignominious defeat He Jumped into a breach and filled up a gap left open by our best professional men. And a wee, thin, but not bnd-looklng simon pure—novice, tyro, anything you will —came through at the crucial time. The praises we might have heaped on Jaok McDermott, the famous home bred golfer, If he had won the cham pionship, now go out double to Outmet. —O Tha tourney, on the whole, attracted unusual attention and the play was about the best ever seen in this country. Our boys didn’t do so well, and outside of the marvelous Oulmet we have little to crow about. Mc Dermott didn’t do so badly, and he might have done better If he had not foolishly insulted the English visitors. It is the belief all around that his famous speech to Vardon and Ray had a tendency to Interfere with his game. Jerome Travers, our ama teur champion, finished well down the line, but we are not surprised at this. Travers isn’t a medal golfer, by any means, but at match play he has few superiors, even among the pros. He would have been beaten most likely, whether or no, but Trav ers shooting for holes and Travers shooting for strokes are two and dis tinct persons. Louis Tellier, the Frenchman, gave an excellent account of himself, finishing In a lie with four others for fourth place. —O— Ty Cobb for the New York Yankees is not as wild yaga as uow« of Today, of All the Days, Is the Day We Must Root for the Home Team All things, we are told, come to to the good and the deserving. That’s why Newark Is going to win the International League pennant In this year of Our Lord 1913. Of course, it Isn’t cocksure Just yet, hut It is so close to it that nothing short o f a miracle will rob us out of the flag. It IB all up to us—up to the team-up to the fans to go down to the ball park today, weather permitting, of course, and root and shout and pull and squeeze for the boys on whom everything depends. Thats what it Is; It's up to us, and let’s see how nobly we will respond to our duty. Because the outlook today looks a thousand times brighter than it did yesterday Is no good reason why the fans, the good old fans who have supported the team all year, and the poor old fans who quit when the clouds hung low, the good fans and the bad fans— all the fans, we say, go down today, if you never go another day, and do your level best to bring the Tigers home a winner In at least one game, which will mean, of course, victory. That’s what we want—victory. That’s what Newark wants—victory. The pennant will do the city a world of good—more good than a large number might think. So It Is up to everybody to get on the old Job today and bring home that much needed game and put Rochester out of her misery. As remarked before, only a miracle could beat us out of the cham pionship. There are two ways we can lost the pennant. One Is for New ark to be beaten In all their remaining games, and for Rochester to win her two games. The other way would come about If It rained today in Newark and the Tigers lost both games tomorrow and Rochester would win both games today. In,that event we would lose the flag by one point. But If Rochester loses one of Its two games today we can drop all three games and then be the champions. So, It looks hunky dory, doesn't It, fans, for which all should be duly grateful. The real way to show your appreciation, though, is to go to the park today and cheer for the boys. Don’t you think they won't notice It, and don't you think they won't feel good because of It, when the strain of the race is over and when the players themselves are more at themselves, and are able to give the wholo affair serious thought. They will feel that we were with them when the pinch came, and they will want to come back again next yep.r and tight just as hard for the flag. Instead of knocks, they’ll have a good word for the town, and every good word Is a mighty big word when the boosting is done In a strange land. The defeat o? Rochester by Toronto In the second game yesterday put a different aspect on affairs all aroun d. Even the scandal-mongers were disagreeably quiet. Those who have been saying right along that To ronto was "laying down" to Rochester, and that Providence "laid down" to Newark, and that Jersey^Clty was going to "lay down" to Newark, were strangely not In evidence anywhere. It seemed, laot night. Those who have a bright, clear mind, and do not look upon the world with distrust, and upon the people as dishonest, arc sure that the game of baseball Is honest to the core, as It should be. But the gamblers and the crap-shooters and the rather objectionable citizens withal are still saying, under their breath, that everything Is fixed. Well, we are glad we know the source of the cry. and we are glad it has been proved that the game Is hon est in the way it came about yesterday—the defeat of Rochester by To ronto. This Is not from a selfish viewpoint, either, in that the defeat of the Hustlers helped the Tigers, but simply to show those who are yelling have nothing to yell about. The honesty of baseball has been attacked before, but the great national game always bobs up serenely with a ■wide-open book and an Indisputable alibi to prove it. That's why baseball is baseball—why it is the greatest sport In the world. —© We have talked over our likes anddlslikes all week and you will remem ber we came to the conclusion to forget them. I could write a most beau tiful paragraph about my friend "Wisey" Solomon, but what’s the use. Some of the fans, perhaps, could tell me some bitter tales about Charley Ebbets for taking away Altchlson and McCarty and Collins and do you know I heard one man—only one man, mind you—say an unkind word about Harry Smith. When I heard that I knew something was wrong, and I said kind of dubiously to myself: “Maybo they’re all all right. Maybe Solo mon Is a prince and Ebbets Is a king and the McKeevers are baronets bold. Maybe the earth Is square and It doesn’t revolve and Jack never jumped over the moon. Conjecture anything you will and make It fit anything you want, but I simply lost my bearings when the knock came for Harry Smith. _ With victory for the Newark team is to come a big time in the way of honoring the players. To show what the big citizens and the little citizens—all the citizens can get in if they want to—think of the men who have proved worthy to be called champions, a celebration of no mean magnitude is planned. This was settled at a little meeting of the sporting editors of the Newark papers, in conjunction with George D. Smith and James M. Reilly, held at the Board of Trade rooms In the Globe build ing yesterday at noon. During the meeting several suggestions were made as to a means of celebrating the winning of the pennant, if that very likely thing comes to pass. One thing. Mr. Reilly, who is taking the mat ter up with avidity, and who Is hustling diligently to give it a big send off, promised to give the affair as much of his attention as possible. That means that the celebration is sure to be a success. —O— As a starter, Mr. Smith, who consented to act as temporary chairman until Monday afternoon, when a big meeting of citizens will be held in the Board of Trade rooms, along with Mr. Reilly, mailed about 200 let ters to prominent citizens yesterday afternoon, asking them to become interested in the proposed celebratlo n and attend the first formal meet ing Monday at 4, when specific plan s are to be formulated. Several re quests have been made by loading cl tizens for a place on the committee, and, It Is understood, that they will be accommodated. It is to be a case'of one for all and all for one—and all in all for Newark. As soon os matters are settled and the members of the committee know just where they are at the fans will be told all about it. But rest assured, the do ings will be big. The plan now is to present each and every player who has had a hand in bringing the gon falon to tills city a solid gold emblem of some sort. A raised baseball effect, with the word “Newark” diag onally across the centre, and the words “International League Cham pions" around the outer edge, has be en spoken of for the design. On the obverse side around the outer edge w 111 be "The Board of Trade of the City of Newark, N. J," and In the centre the Inscription, "Presented to," with the name of the player filled in. There will be a baseball game and a field day at the ball park a we ek from today, and the players will come in for everything. _ • w Now, St Is right up to the boys—up to the players. They are doing the city a good turn if they win th e pennant, and the citizens are going to show their appreciation. If "Newark Knows How” let Newark show how at her very best on the occaslo n of the celebration for the cham pionship baseball team. ___ the fans seem to think. It wouldn’t surprise me in the least if "Old Ty" were to play the outfield in New York next season. Manager Chance would welcome the gTeat batter and De troit would be just as well off with out him, as Cobb Is sick and sore on the Michigan town. O—• Here’s a fan that Is sticking: J. P. N.: Cheer up, fans! Even with Roches ter one and a half games behind “don't give up the ship," applies to the followers of our home team. Be ing in a kind of a slump docs not mean losing the pennant. With a corps of nine pitchers—Lee, Bell, Barger, Britton, Enzmann, Holmes, Hall, Hchaeht and Curtis—perform ing suitably these days, only errors and not hitting in pinches keep us back. With Chief Harry Smith In jured, the Newarks are out for re venge. We have not yet begun to tight. We will give Harry support because he built up for Newark a winning team. We will nail that pennant to the pole at Wiedenmay er’s Park, or bust. ELLIS A. HAHN. 6A, Charlton Street School. What say all of you. “©~ Freddy Welsh Is going to claim tho world's lightweight championship, so he says, for the reason that Willie Ritchie, who holds the title, has re fused to meet him. That is all right, but no one will pay any attention to Freddy. It is the novel way he is I goin'g to come into the championship that is interesting us. Welsh tells us that Ritchie has "run out” In the match and that he is going to shadow dance himself into the honors. Ho is going to do the requtred weight at the required hour, and after he has shadow-danced a few rounds ho will proclaim himself champion of the world. Now, won’t that be nice! J. P. N.: t had an idea of bringing a girl friend of mine to see the races. You can Imagine all the questions I would have to answer—"Who is that rider?” ‘‘Why does that big man shoot?" “Why is that little rider far away from the others?’’ And so on, with insistence, question after ques tion. But one question beats them all! After looking at McDougall’s wonderful riding, the young girl turns to me: “Say, dearie,” she says, "why did a paper print that McDougall, after marriage, has lost a good chance to win from William Bailey? What has marriage got to do with It?” My first thought was of you, sitting in the grand stand, Intent on the races. I wished then I could, by means of telepathy, get in corre spondence with you and have the right dope of an answer for a young, sweet, innocent girl. But. nothing doing. Our mental wires were on the blink. I had to give my own answer. "Well, you know, dearie, when a fellow gets married, you see, he ‘gets out of form.’ Ho cannot ride as be fore, for the reason that he worries too much. He thlnkB of home, of tho dear, sweet little wife waiting for him, and all together these cir cumstances are against him.’’ For my good luck she was satisfied with the answer, and I (Was safe. Suppose 1 was the s'Wpet, little, in quisitive young girl afigl would ask you the same question, what would your answer, for the benefit of your admirers and readers of your "Sport Topics" be? Did you see “Quo Vndls" at the Newark Theatre? You did not? Then you have lost "half your life.” My father extends to you his con gratulations for your “Sport Topics.” which are getting every day more and more Interesting and instructive. SNOOKEY OOKUMS. You did nobly. No one could hope to do better under the circumstances. You did so well, in fact, It Is not for me to Improve your reply. You have the right dope—too much worry, worry to get home, worry when you get there and worry how to get out again. This is a bachelor interpre tation of It, anyway. ./V _ J. P. N.: Well, I saw in last night’s paper that Clark thinks Kramer is not the world’s greatest six-day rider. Just put this in the Star so Clarkle can see it. I think Kramer the greatest all-around rider that the world has ever seen and in reference to Kramer being all in when he rides five, ten or fifteen miles is true, but only late ly, when in bad form; but he is the boy that can show any man how to ride a bicycle. If darkle thinks he is so swell why didn't he win from Grenda and McNamara? Why? Be cause he was all in, too. So tit for tat. That shows he cannot always be right there, either. I ain sorry he lost his dog again, but ho ought to keep him chained to a large pole, so no one can take him. All his troubles come at once, so he better not think himself too much after this when he wins a few little races, rt would be swell to see that team ride in the six-day (Kramer and Clark), but it would be a big honor, too, for Clark, eh! Yours in sport, A COLLEGE FAN. You mustn’t talk about “Poor Lit tle Jackie” like that. He is a great rider, but he will have to go a long way before he will ever be as great as Kramer. As regards the six-day race, Kramer and dark would sure ly make a strong team, but as Jackie doesn’t want any “dead ones” worked on him why we’ll have to let it go at that. J. P.
