When Pressed

More foreign fighters have arrived in
this country. and more are coming. Bill
Squires. of Australia, has crossed the
Pacific to meet the best of American
heavyweiglts. and Johnny Summers,
former featherweight champion of Eng
land. has hung up his hat in Phila-
del9hia.
The English lightweight champion is
also reported 10 be about 10 head this
way. As against this. Uncle Sam has
sent Jack Johnson To Australia: Sam
Langford and Al belmont. of Boston.
last week fought their first contest in
England, and Jack O'Brien and Battling
Nelson. with Billy Nolan, are contem-
plating going 10 Europe IN the near
future.
Thus international bouts arc getting
to be a common occurrence. Spike Rob-
son has just returned 20 England after
his second invasion Of Philadelphia and
he may make a return trip in the fan.
With SO much travelling going on some
OF these fighters have naturally missed
each other, and this mas led 10 what

that man sailed away 70 avoid a fight.
Jack Palmer came here and. standing
beside his manager at the National
Athletic CLUB. caused the announce
ment to be made that Jack O'Brien had
skipped out OF England after promising
TO meet Palmer in the hing. Some peo-
PIE are accusing Bill Squires of board
ing q steamer 10 san Francisco I'm or
der 10 dodge fighting Jack Johnson.
Johnny Summers comes along and.
through his manager at the National
Athletic Club I'm Philadelphia, last Sat
urdcy night declared that Battling
Nelson had skipped out of England 70
avoid scrap after Summers hacker
mad posted $500 for a match II has
also been intimated that Robson sailed
away from New York few DAYS ago
when he learned that Summers had
started for the United States. AS
against tins. Spike VIII probably say
that Summers got away from England
when it was announced that he was
about to return home.

EAST FRIGHTENED
BY MICHIGAN MEN

The University Of Michigan succeeded
in throwing a scare into both Cornell
and the University OF Pennsy lvania at
the relay races in Philadelphia on Sat
Urday.
Several Eastern trainers had been de-
luding themselves with the thought that
the Michigan milers were nsidcrably
overrated and that they would not be
able to lower the colors Of the Eastern
men at Cambridge on June /. Perhaps
they won't, but II may bc taken as n
certainty that Trainers Mike Murphy,
of Pennsylvania, and Jack Moakley, Of
Cornell. will at once proceed 10 put
their milo and two-mile runners through
the hardest training they have had in
many a lay in order to be prepared TO
restrain these ambitious Wcsterncrs.
The work Of Coe in the mile run which
he did in 4-1 without being pushed
stamps him as wonder and u Will re
quire a new intercollegiate record 10
beat him il he continues to improve as
the season advances. The same may
he said OF Howe. in the two miles. Prob
ably the most interested spectator in
the fOur-mile relny was Jack MOakley.
the Cornell trainer. As he watched the
great sprint which each of the Miciii-
peat.
Just look at that finish for mile
run. tell you, these Michigan men are
going 10 make lot more trouble at the
intercollegiate than many people i'm
agine."
The work OF Garrells in the shot-put.
while good enough for second was not
quite what was expected Of him. But
Trainer Fitzpatrick said Garreus had
been doing torty-five feet consistently
all spring, and could do that nine times
out OF ten. He further said that Schultz
another Michigan man. whom he did
not bring East, could beat GarreTls. If
both do this well at the coming meet
they ought 70 take a first and second i'm
the shot The work Of the Michigan
men merely proves that they will bear
the closest watching. and may yet upset
the calculations of the experts

NO SURPRISE
THAT JOHNSON
GETS BUSY
Trying to Get Rid of Stahl Case Without
National Commission Decision-Would
Hurt Reputation for Honesty.
By THOMAS S. RICE.

There is no news. and no occasion for
surprise, in the statement that Ban
Johnson saw Joe Cantillon in New York
and asked him on what conditions he
would trade Jake Stahl 10 the Boston
club.
AS predicted in The Times, Johnson
got busy as soon as he saw his little
scheme to put one over on the Washing
ton club in the matter of, Stahl's petit
ton 10 the national commission had
gone wrong. and determined to save his
face by arranging a deal with Boston
by which Stahl would so there, without
the necessity for the commission taking
a vote. The question. then. vas: Did
the Washington owners have sports
manshlP enough TO stick by their colors
and force a decision, or would they let
johnson get out Of his scrape and in
cidentally. make them look Ike a lot Of
spanked children?
Washington, before Johnson buttcd I'm.
Was perfectly willing 10 ira - Jake
Stahl for Lee Tannehiil. one of Boston's
best pitchers. And even now the trade
would pr7bibly be a good one, but. while
baseball has become cGInmercializcd
until IL bears little resemblance to IA
sport. those who follow it admire a good
fight and are willing to give the glad
hand 10 a loser who has tried his best.
Therefore the fans of this city would
have much better opinion Of the own
ers ana the club if these men VINO are
supposed to control WashjnCton'S base
hall dcstinies were willing u make a
fight II have this city run its own af-
fairs without Johnson interfering when
ever he got good and ready To take away
valuable player o. send here a dead
one.
The contention Of the Washington club
has been that while Stahls case is be
fore the national commission. the title
10 him is so uncertain that he could
neither be sold nor traded. it would be
interesting to know how this is going
10 be avoided in order 10 boost john
sons game. If he couldn't be traded
a week ago, he couldn't very well be
traded now.
Baseball has a tremendous hold on the
country and the number of leagues is
increasing, but there is a limit to all
things, and 1t is a pretty safe bet thai
