CANS SAYS he

Champion Proposes Fight
MemSiC and Then

Los ANGELES, Sept. 25.-Joe Cans,
champion lightweight of the world, will
retire from the ring after his fight
with George Memsic next Friday night.
win or lose with Memsic / am going
to quit the business" was the state
ment with which the Baltimorean
wound up an earnest talk this after
noon out at Arcadia after he had en-
tertained a crowd of between 1000
and 1000 people at his training quar-
tiers.
"There is just this last thing that |
would like to say before / drop out of
sight" said Cans. Il sincerely hope
that white fighters, the top-notchers
mean, will deal squarely with the col
ored men. There are two colored mer
in particular that ! would like to sec
given a chance against the white mel
who claim the heavyweight honors
! They are Jack Johnson and Youn
Peter Jackson. I think so we'll of tn
chances of Johnson that l am willing

my Burns preferred, for a finish fight.
The champion is in perfect condition
/ at present all reports to the contrar.
Notwithstanding. The story of his hav

without any consideration. He is q
the required weight, which will allo'
him to come into the ring next Frida

SHERRINC TO
run shrub

HAMILTON, Sept. 25.--Within a
few weeks the athletic world will wit
ness one of the most interesting foot
races of a decade, between two of the
greatest runners the world has ever
produced-Alfred Shrubb and William
Sherring. Ever since Shrubb came to
this continent Sherring has had all
kinds of offers to meet him in a
trial race, but the hero of the Mara
thon declined, as he did not wish to
break away from the amateur ranks.
The c. A. A. u. however, does not seem
inclined to give Sherring a card that
will permit his starting in some of the
shorter distance track events, and
there is only one thing for him to do
turn professional
After his return from Athens last
year, Sherring announced that he
would never race again, but the sight
of some of his old friends in the run
ming shoes has made him change his
mind, and he has decided to run at
least one more race before retiring.
Sherring has been in fair condition
all summer, and thinks nothing of TAX
ing a ten mile jog before breakfast.
Several times he has been on the Her
aid course, but few people ever thought
that he was running for anything more
than exercise. He claims that he could
get into first class condition in very
short time, and says that he can run
just as fast as he ever could.
Il have seen Shrubb rum" said
Sherring, and l must admit that for
speed he has no equal But 1 have
beaten men who could run faster than
l could by using generalship, and
think that l would have chance with
Shrubb for any distance he likes to
name. His record for ten miles is bet
ter than mine, but have covered the
distance in better time than he aver
ages, and for that reason think l
would have a chance" :
| Sherring ran ten miles in So minutes
| fiat over the Herald course, and he ran
the distance without being paced, eth
er. 1t was a morning trial, and the
champion had plenty left at the finish
Sherring will likely challenge Shrubh
in a few days and the race will take
place either here or in Toronto, where
the running craze is at it's height just
now. 1t will certainly be the greatest
running attraction in years, and should
draw an enormous crowd.

GREAT ROSEBEN
NEARING DEATH

NEW YORK, Sept 25.-Roseben,
peerless sprinter among the thorough
breds of America, is dying of blood
poisoning His temperature last night
had reached 103. David Johnson, his
owner, and Frank Weir, his trainer,
have slight hopes of his recovery. The
champions Illness is due to stone
bruise, received in his last race over
the Sheepshead Bay track.
FaAt first nothing serious was appre-
handed and it was thought that he
would soon respond to treatment. In
spite of all the care and attention be-
slowed by the veterinary and the
trainer the symptoms of fever in
creased to such an extent that DR..
Mathewson of Philadelphia, a noted
specialist on blood diseases of horses,
was called. He diagnosed the case as
blood poisoning. ~W
All day long the horse stood in the
stall in intense agony. The injured leg
had swollen to great size. In order
to relieve the pain and pressure or
the injured leg, Roseben was placed in
sings. In these he was able to rest
comfortably.

SPIT BALL IS
LOSING GROUND
Captain Chance of Chicago
Clubs Says BatterS
Have Solved Ii

Spit ball" pitchers are slowly giving
up that form of delivery as their sole
stock in trade and are returning to
the old style of pitching, using the
moist ball only to mix them up on the
batter, as is done with the curve and
change of pace, according to Frank
Chance, manager of the Cubs, cham
pions of the National league.
1t is the opinion of the peerless
leader of the Cubs that the time is
not far distant when the pitchers that
will be known as spit BALI artists, as
many are today. will be scarce.
The reason for this is two-fold, he
says. First and foremost the cause is
that the batters are hitting that kind
of pitching harder each year. When
the batters begin to slug the pitchers
then something new has to be evolved.
The second reason is that few pitchers
/ can stand the strain for more than two
or three seasons and when they are
/ "all in" from using the "spit ball'
their arms are not usually able to
return to the old style Of work and get
away with it.
Pitchers Must Mix EN- Up.
But that the "spit BALI will become
obsolete is not Chances opinion. He
figures that, just as the curve ball
when it first came in, there was a
general rush to use that form of de-
livery because it was the most effective
against the batsmen. AS soon, how
ever, as the batters began to under
stand and to hit it the pitcher simply
added that form of delivery to his
repertory and used it to mix EN- up
on the batters.
big league batters are hitting the
spit BALI pitchers harder this veal
than ever before" said Chance, land
they will hit them harder and harder
with each succeeding year. The reason
for that is that the batters are be-
ball and don't strike at so many bat
ones as they used to.
"The break on the spit bali is wha
fooled the batsmen and made thu
pitcher so effective. The ball came u
waist high and broke downward to-
fast for the batter to follow. Ninety
nine per cent of these balls would hav
been balls had the batter let then
pass unmolested, for when the 'sp
BALI comes up waist hight it break
below the knees But the batters wer
afraid to let them pass and swung a
them, even thought they were ba'
balls.
Must Find Something New.
'If the spit BALI is pitched highe
than the waist it can be hit easil,
and hard. The break then is jus
where the batter can get a sound ra
at it. These spit ballers' have had t.
come to pitching breast high nowaday
because the batsmen let the low one
go by. and the pitcher gets in the hole
