KUHN MANICURING
JACK1ES; GROUNDS
Ex-Big League Ground Keeper
Helping Sailors.
GREAT LAKES, 111., Oot. 24. After
SO years of manicuring big league
grounds, "Smiling Charley" Kuhn,
daddy of all ground keepers, is in
stalled an master-at-arms nf the mag
nificent athletic plant at Great Lake.
Kuhn nursed the velvety grounds
from a big marshy meadow, used for
occasional drilling, to one of the show
places of the station. He knows every
blade of grass by Its first name; la
familiar with every drop of water In
the vast enclosure and woe be it to
the careless sailor who dares make a
short cut across his precious baseball
diamond.
On the Job from sunrise to taps It
Is Kuhn's self admitted Job to main
tain the finest athletto field in tho
country-' That he has succeeded is
self evident one look is convincing of
hli skill.
There was no big league diamond
that excelled Kuhn a station layout
when games were being played at Great
' lAkca during the past season. Charley's
soccer field Is carpeted with the finest
of Kentucky blue grass. His tootball
t gridirons are masterpieces experience
alone could turn out such stretches
of green between the white cross lines.
t when Charley knocked at the navy
door he ran across age limits which
barred him from service. Not to be
daunted Kuhn wag accepted as a civil
ian employo through the efforts of
Commander J. B. Kaufman, athletic
officer, who realized his exceptional
ability.
For more than 20 years Charley Kuhn
presided at the old Cuba' park on the
west Side of Chicago. He served un
der a string of Bruin presidents and
Incidentally saw Charley Murphy run
his "shoe string Into a million" dur
ing the hevdav of Frank Chance.
This old park, according to major
leaguers, had an infield that rarely is
equalled these days.
Included in Kuhn's constructive ca
reer la the historic athletic field at
the University of Illinois, varsity ath
letes claim the Illinois stadium has no
eoual in the western conference.
Kuhn has laid out training camps at
Palestine, Tex., St. Petersburg, Ha.,
Martin Springs, Tex. and other South
ern spots where big league clubs visit
In the spring. Charley went ahead,
worked mlrucles on some vacant field
and presto there was a major league
Infield ready for use.
WHY DO RUNNERS

Fred Tennev. ereatest of first base

base, like Charlev Hollocher. of the
Cubs, did in the second world's series
game in Boston. That contest was
the first title game Tenney ever had
seen. The play on Hollocher turned
the complexion of the tussle and
brought from Tenney the information
ejthat there isn't a chance In 100 Cor a
first baseman to get the ball to second
in time to stop the runner it ine run
ner sroes ahead.
"Players used to pull that play a
lot." savs Tenney. "Why, one of the
men who pulled It on me was Jim Mc-
Oulre, who was able, 1 guess, 10 navi
irnte thA circuit lii some 40 or 50 sec
onds. I got a perfect throw from the
catcher to nip Jim off the bag. made
a stab for him, and hit the dirt, like
Mclnnis did when he groped around for
Hollocher. McGulre was on secoryd ty
the time It dawned on me he wasn't
on first.
"It is hard for a first baseman to
tnn thin nlar as lie has to reverse
himself Just as a baBe runner does who
is set to so one way and then has to
go the other. It in not only hard, it
is almost Impossible. Strikes me that
the players ought to go on Instead of
back oftoner." ,, L
Fred is now living in W inthrop,
Mass. He is a grandparent at the age
of 46 years. Since managing the New
ark Internationals In 1916. Tenney has
net had any baseball connection, nor
has he desired any. He's a success in
the business Johnny Evers was a inv

BETTING IS NOT A
CRIME, SAYS JUDGE
Playing Poker No Grounds for
Arrest, Says Jurist.
NEW YORK, Oct. 24. In discharging
last night 38 men arrested in a "pool
room" charged with disorderly conduct
and violating the antlloafing law Mag
istral Joseph Corrlgan declared that
they had committed no crime either in
loafing, playing poker or betting on the
races.
"It Is not a crime to bet on the
races," said the magistrate. "Anybody
can bet as much as they want to with
out committing a crime and can also
play poker. There are a number of
things that a man can still (0 without
committing a crime. Tney are an qis
charged." BARRY'S RECORD SPOILED
Jack Barry would be the record holder
for playing In world's series games but
for an unfortunate accident. Eddie Col
lins, formerly of the Athletics and
White Sox, held the record at 26 games
up to this year, when Fred Merkle, of
the Giants, Brooklyn and Cubs, passed
It by one game. Barry, Just prior to
the opening of the 1916 series, injured
his hand to such an extent that he Was
unable to participate In the games with
Ms Red Sox proteges against tne Troi
lev Dodgers When the Red Sox van
qulshed the Phillies In 1915, "Black
jack" was credited with having played
In 25 games. Collins bettered this mark
In 1917. while Merkle passed it this year.
Had Barry's hand not been injured so
badly that he was forced to give way
to Harold Janvrln In 1916, he would
have a mark of 30 games, one that
may have stood the test of time.

Boston sporting writers, on behalf of
Bed Sox players, resent the statements
published that the world champions
were backward about donating their
promised 10 per cent of the series purse
to war charity. They declare In Boston
that all the players came across as
agreed. So far no evidence has been
produced either way, to show they have
or nave not.

One of the most pronounced horrors
of jlh e world war has made Itself ap
parent since the Internment of pro
fessional baseball In the form of a flood
of suggestions and advice from half
baked scribes to the baseball magnates
regarding the course the club owners
should pursue, when the rainbow of
peace appears.
Every self-styled expert who can
crowd hie knees under a typewriter
table has felt It his bounden duty to
save the national flame by holding aloft
the beacon light by which the groplnfl
magnates may discover the proper ave
nue of escape from the present crisis.
These poor, struggling magnatee have
only been able to make such paltry
sums as may be written In seven fig
ures out of the national game.
The business of baseball Is like any
other, and the men behind the game
have spent their lifetime learning by
experience how the business end of
the game should be conducted. If they
make mistakes they have the means
of rectifying them, namely, going down
In their flanks and digging up the nec
essary coin of the realm. They da not
besiege tho newspaper offices and sug
gest to the baseball writers how they
shall conduct their sporting pages.
The magnates have piloted the na
tional game through many crises and
still live to tell the tale. There Is not
the slightest Indication that they will
fall to rally around the king of sports
now during the world war. They have
the money and the Inclination to keep
the baseball flret burning, and the
game Is going to be rehabilitated on a
more substantial basis than ever be
fore. The first duty of the baeeball writer
Is to give the news of the sport and
forego the popular diversion of at
tempting to dabble In the business end
of the game, which, after all, It the
private affair of the club owner, to fol
low what course' he may deem wise,
proper and remunerative.
Talking back to umpires is undoubt
edly in the nonessential class.
According to Barney Dreyfuas, presi
dent of the Pittsburgh Pirates, all of
the other magnates snould go Jump In
some nearby lake and let him and Ban
Johnson reconstruct the national pas
time. JESS TO DO BIT.

THE RETURN OP BOXING.
A periodical which abhors everything
pertaining to the manly art of boxing,
has taken up a half column of scarce
white paper to state that it is a de
plorable fact that just as the time was
arriving when boxing would be no more,
Uncle Sam's army comes along and em
braces it as one of the best forms of
training fighting men. That the Petes,
the Mikes and the Kids are lo cane
back is a fact which causes untold
agony of heart. to this writer, who sees
a menace in the manly sport.
Boxing is coming back when the war
is over, hut It will be a different kind
of boxing, with all of the objectionable
features which have kept the game In
disrepute for years lacking. Among the
brave sons of Uncle Ram who are now
on foreign soil battling the most fiend
ish foe In the history of the world are
Ihose who enter the arena to demon
strate tho art of self-defense and how
to hold one's own with an adversary.
Boxing is as clean a sport as there
Is In the category of amusements. It
Is the gang which has followed It here
tofore which has hurt It. Boxing
brlngB together men equally scien
tific and efiual In weight. There are
rules which prevent hitting below the
belt. It Is absolutely fair, and where
fair play is always adhered to.
Uncle Sam has placed his official
stamp of approval on boxing and the
game Is going to flourish as never be
fore when the world is delivered from
the cloven-hoofed Hun. .
