War Has Effect on Sports
By Associated Prcng.)
New: York. Aug. J 5. A striking il
lustration of the international charac
ter of amateur sport is afforded by the
situation that has developed as a re
sult of the war in Kurope. Early la
the season there was every reason for
the- belief that 1914 would be the great
est year in the history of competition.
With the unexpected conflict abroad
International contests of all kinds have
been canceled and may not be resumed
for months or even years.
On this side of the Atlantic the
America's cup race is the most 1m
nnrtant pvpnf tn ha i-anllH Knt

8 1 Ojietic and sporting standpoint may be
greater for it is likely to upset events
scheduled for several years to come.
The Sonder boat races at Kiel In m5
and the Olympic games at Berlin in
1916 are no longer assured fixtures.
Athletic authorities both in America
and abroad realize that if the present
war continues for any extended per-
iod Germany will not be in a position
1 i to act as host to the Olympic teams.

0 abandoned entirely and it may be

o' transfer the meet to some nation not
Involved in the clash of arms.
In commenting on this angle of the
present unsettled state of affairs
James E. Sullivan, secretary of
the American Olympic committee
said:
"Of course its looking a long ways
ahead to attempt to predict the effect
of the war abroad on the Olympic
games of 1916. Personally I hope
that Europe will be at peace again be
fore that time and that there will be
no need of a change in the program.
If. however, a shift is necessary the
United States is the logical country in
which to hold the games and the Amer
ican committee will carry out the
schedule as planned by Germany
without a hitch of any kind. We have
available stadiums in many parts of
the country several of which are cap
able of seating from 40.000.000 to 60.
000 spectators. Should it prove desir
able to postpone the Panama-Pacific
Exposition planned for San Francisco
next year until 1916. the Olympic
games would undoubtedly be held
there in connection with the fair. If
the exposition is held according to
schedule Chicago, Pittsburgh, New
York and Boston are all available for
the following year. New Haven and
Syracuse with their his college stad
iums might also be considered."

ALC0CK IS RELEASED;
HE REFUSES TO QUIT SOX
Chicago, 31!.. Aug- 15. "Scotty" Al
rok. the utility Inflelder whom the
White Sox released to th Oakland
Paclf-c Coast league club several days
ago, does not intend to leave Chicago.
Instead he expects to draw a fairly
comfortable salary from the south side
club for the rest of th!s season and
alEo for 1915.
When Federal league clubs began
making overtures to White Sox players
u couple of months aw, Comlskey
struck the 10-lay claue from the con
tracts f nearly .every athl to on his
lift Altock was among those whose
contracts w.re made binding In ihlH
manner. Later on tfcotty signed for
wt-xt seafon nt a good lucri a.se In sal
ary, and without the. "illegal" H-uay
clause in his working agreement.
iAccordlt: to his legal advisers. A'-
Ing tourney to successfully defend his
well won national laurels.
Boxing throughout Europe Is at a
standstill owing to the war and the
knights of the glove have exchanged
their padded weapons for those of a
far more dangerous cnaracter. In
France alone several score or the pro
fessional boxers are serving with the
army the most illustrious example be
ing Georges Carpentier. The recent
ring victories of the French middle
weight over hoth Bombardier Wells
and Gunboat Smith caused European
critics to predict world's champion
ship honors for Carpentier. Should
he be killed or Injured in action his
loss would be keenly felt in pugilistic
circles for even the English ring au
thorities predict a promising career
for him as can be seen from the fol
lowing extract from a review of his
bout with Smith:
"Though the result of the boxing
contest between Carpentier and Gun
boat Smith was very unsatisfactory
from one point of view, there is very
little doubt that if the contest had
continued Carpentier would either
have won easily on points or would
have finished his man before the 10th
round. The Frenchman had science,
pace and precision, and all of them
had been improved since he last ap
peared. With qualities such as these,
be was easily able to deal with a man
whose chief assets were strength and
endurance. The rapier will nearly al
ways win against the broadsword. We
shall always look forward to seeing
Carpentier ia the ring again. His
fierce vitality, his swift intelligence,
his flatting courage, present a combi
nation of some of the nnest qualities
which boxing has ever evolved in its
best exponents."
The Davis cup, emblematic of the
world'a team tennis championship, the
final matches for which are being play
ed at Forest Hills, Long Island, to
day, was placed in competition 15
years ago, the donor being Dwight
F. Davis, of St. Louis. Mo. This was
In 1900, but the idea of originating an
international competition in this sport
was conceived three years previously,
by Dr. James Dwight, then president
of the United States Lawn Tennis as-
sociation, and among the leading ex
ponents of tennis In the early days
of the game in this country.
In 1907 Dr. Dwight in a letter to
his friend. Mr. Herbert Chipp. in Eng
land, suggested a match between
American and English players, as this
proved to be the basis of a correspond
ence followed by negotiations be
tween British and American lawn ten
nis associations which, although dis
rupted for a long time owing to the
outbreak of the Spanish-Anjfriean
war, culminated In a match between
the British Isles and American teams
at the Longwood Cricket club's
grounds, Boston, Aug. 8, 9 and 10, 1900,
which was won by tne Americans,
M. D. Whitman, Dwight F. Davis and
Holecombe Ward, the British players
being A. W. Gore, H. Roper Barrett
and E. D. Black. England was unable
to send a team here the following
year, but they did so in 1902 and again
America won. In 1903, however, the
Doherty brothers and Harold S. 31a
hony captured the trophy and took it
to England with them and it remained
there until 1907 when it was won by
the Australiasian team who retained
it until 1912 when the British won it
again only to relinquish the bowl to
the custody of the Americans a year
ago.
With the open contest decided the
amateur championship, American golf
ing blue ribbon, will attract the at
tention of every player of note in the
country. This year the United States
Golf association has selected the
links of the Ekwanok Country club,
Manchester, Vt., from Aug.. 1 to Sept.
5. for the 20th annual competition for
the amateur honor, which Jerome D.
Travis of the Upper Montclair, N. J..
the present holder, has won three
times. Although the champion has :
not taken nart in any public match
or tournament since his return from
his recent visit in quest of British
honors on the other side or the At
lantic Travers has been keeping in
close touch with the games. The en
tries for the event v. ill not close until
a week from next Monday. Last year
two foreign entrants were among those
who carded for the national contest
at Garden City, but this year for ob
vious reasons the field will be entirely
American In Its make-up.
cock'a contracts are absolutely bind
ing both on bim and on Comlskey.
Scotty doesn't like the coast, and ho
does like Chicago, so he plans to hang
around and visit the Sox cashier every
pay day until the 1915 baseball season
comes to a close.

Judging from the fact that Al Tear
ney did not have money enough to
fork over for a two bit telegram sent
collect from Rock Island, we wonder
wherein the Three-Eye league will get
sufficient dough to pay up the Quincy
salaries today.
Some one said that Bert Hough car
ries a reputation of never having man
aged a ball club which finished below
j the first division since he began his
career as a manager of league base
ball clubs some years ago. But we
have a hunch that the Clinton Pilots
are going to spoil that record for
Bert.

big treat. (Drop that brick).
Constantinople (censored) An un

the effect that Jonas Bear is running

Keokuk (not censored) Muscatine
has declared war upon Waterloo. Gen

force, while General Andrews will look
after Waterloo interests.
New York Heavy firing in t'.ie vi
cinity of the American league office 10
minutes ago led many to believe tnat
a battle was in progress between the
Federal forces and the organized
army. Investigation, however, devel
oped the fact that it was only Ban
Johnson shooting the bull.
Chicago General Weegiiem has
sent an ultimatum to Generals Comis

Paris (extra special) Jack Johnson
was bombarded here about a half hour
ago by a troop of German artillery.

What can be wrong with Tyrus
Cobb? He hasn't had a fight for more
than a week.
Cobb has pulled his regular weekly
stunt and signed a three year contract
with Detroit. It is now Walter John
son's turn. He hasn't signed his three
year contract for almost two weeks.
