WHITE WELCOMED
BY WESTERN FANS
Expect Chicago Boy to Become
Lightweight Champion
of the World.
San Francisco, July 24. Charley
White, America's leading hope for the
lightweight championship, arrived
here yesterday, and the greeting he
got from local pugilistic fans and
newspapers would have made an hon-est-to-goodness
title-holder turn green
with envy. There was a crowd of
fight bugs at the depot and Charley
White chances, looks and prospects
was the main topic of discussion all
along fight row during the day.
White's first appearance here will
be against Joe Azevado, the Oakland
Portuguese, whom coast fans thought
would be the next lightweight leader.
He won all of his contests out here
and then went east and took an awful
lacing from White at Racine, Wis. Oak
land pugs cannot believe this, hence
the return match out here.
In discussing the Azevado fight yes
terday White left the impression that
he was signed to meet the local idol
not because he expected to gala any
thing by beating him. but because he
wants to get started right before Frisco
enthusiasts. "This fellow is the big
gest Joke fighter In the country,"
White told a local admirer. "He can't
fight a lick and I could tie one hand
behind me and beat him at will. I
took this match because I think It will
help me force Freddie Welsh Into a
20-rouhd scrap. He'i the bird I'm
after."
Kraft Deal Is Off.
New York, July 24. Another base
ball deal Is off, in which the principal
figure was Clarence O. Kraft, first
baseman of the Newark International
Baseball League club, over whose dis
position the Baseball Players' fratern
ity threatened to strike last Monday.
This deal Is the one announced by
President Farrell of the New York
American league club. In which he said
that Kraft had been purchased by his
club.
Ohio will employ prison labor
state buildings.

HE ALMOST CAUSED
A BASEBALL STRIKE
Clarence O. Kraft in Cleveland Nap
uniform.
Newark, N. J., July 24. With Clar
ence O. Kraft appearing daily In
Newark uniform, the first bit of
trouble between the Players' fraternity
and organised baseball has been
smoothed over; but the victory of the
union will have a big influence on the
future relations between baseball
magnates and players.
Players in the major leagues now
league magnates must cower before
their fraternity, or run the risk of
losing many of their best men to the
Feds.
The facts In the Kraft case, which
apparently are misunderstood in
some quarters, are as follows:
Kraft was this year turned over by
his "owner," the Brooklyn National
league club, to the Newark club of
the International league. But a for
mer "owner," the Nashville club of
the Southern association, laid claim
to his services. The dispute between
the Newark and Nashville clubs was
carried to the national commission,
(the supreme tribunal of the baseball
world, and Kraft was awarded to
Nashville.
The Newark club is of a higher
classification than the Nashville club,
and, to play with the latter, Kraft
would have been forced, but baseball
law, to accept a salary cut of $150 a
month. He declined to go to Nash
ville and was suspended from or
ganized baseball. The Players' fra
ternjty demanded that he be' rein
stated and permitted to piay wain
Newark. The big magnates, fright
ened when a general major league
strike was threatened, persuaded
Newark to pay Nashville a bonus of
$2,500 to give up all claims to the
services of Kraft.
Kraft has had a rather varied ex
perience in baseball. A Toledo scout
dug him up in the Kitty league dur
ing the season of 1910. He was then
a pitcher. Instead of going with the
Toledo club on the training trip the
following spring, he was sent along
with the Cleveland Naps to Alex
andria. Soon after he was turned
over to Flint in the South Michigan
league. He remained there two
years, one as first baseman, the other
as outfielder. Toledo then recalled
him and turned him over to New Or
leans. Nashville taking him by the
waiver route last year.
FORMER ISLANDERS IN
THE EXPECTED REVERSAL
The former Islanders lost yesterday
at Burlington, 8 to 1, which -was not
unexpected, inasmuch aa they could
hardly avoid a slump after playing so
faithfully for a home while in Rock Is
land and having been turned out on
the world despite their efforts. It was
a bad day all around for the tri-cities,
Moline also losing one and Davenport
two games. ,

CHICAGO TICKET TAKERS
AT CUB PARK ARRESTED
Chicago, 111.. July 24. Six Ucket
takers at the Cub park were arrested
yesterday, charged with swindling.
After telling of their system of cheat
ing the management, they were re
leased by the police when President
Thomas refused to take action against
them other than discharge them.
Here is how they worked their
scheme:
Instead of working the turnstile with
every person admitted to the park, the
gatemen waited until two fans were in
line and pushed them through to
gether, the stile registering once.
Many of the spectators, in their
.hurry to get Into the park, failed to
tear off their rain checks. This help
ed the system.
When the ticket takers saved up $10
or $20 worth of unregistered paste
boards they were turned back to the
ticket-sellers and resold, the profits be
ing divided among those on the inside.
When Thomas searched one of the
men implicated yesterday he turned
in $11, the proceeds of one day's graft.

GALESBURG LANDS
LOCAL FRANCHISE
Egan Visits Former Association
City and Is Greeted With
Enthusiasm.
OPENING TICKETS $1 EACH
Danville, Turned Down, Switches to
Central League In Search
for Another Berth.
Henceforth till the end of the sea
son at least, the former Ottumwa
Packers, and erstwhile Islanders, will
play under Galesburg's name. At a
meeting last evening at the . Knox
county capital so much enthusiasm
was manifested and so liberal were
the fans in their offers of financial
support that Manager Ned Egan and
President M. E. Justice of the Central
decided to make that city once more
association territory.
After the close of the present trip
on the road the club will go to Gales
burg and play at Illinois park, the
old grounds of the former Central as
sociation team, which has been kept
Intact. Tickets for the opening game
were at once placed on Bale at $1
each.
- Galesburg was the best ot the three
Illinois cities formerly in the Central
and dropped out only because Mon
mouth and Kewanee were unable to
support the game and it was felt that
Interest would decline without the
rivalry of ita neighbors. Is is believed
however, that the team will draw well
from now till the end of-the season,
especially if it continues to play at
the pace set while in Rock Island.
Danville . In Cen.tral League.
Danville, which gave up Its Three
Eye franchise to Moline, is still cast
ing about for a chance to get into
some other circuit Having failed to
receive any consideration at the hands
of the Central association the local
backers of the game have asked for a
berth in the Central league,- which
is now a six-club circuit. It is said an
effort will be made to add Danville
and . Zanesville, Ohio, - making : It an
eight-club league once more.
