PRINCESS HAS GOOD CARD
FOR THURSDAY NIGHT.

Manager Jimmy Dc Forrest has re
matched Johnny Carol and Connie
Smith in the semi-final to the Morris
Harris-George Gunther bout for next
Thursday night at the Princess A. c.,
New York. Carol and Smith met in a
six-round bout at this club last week
and put up one of the fastest and most
sensational siX-round bouts seen in any
New York club. Carol won the con
test In the last minute of the last
round.
The members present requested De
Forrest to match these boys over again.
George Gunther. who is training at the
Princess Club. has secured Hank Grit
fin. and Griffin Jones to train him, as he
thoroughly realizes he has to be in the
best shape to hold his end with the
hard hitting Morris Harris. whom he
meets in the star bout. Harris is the
Philadelphia heavyweight that gave
Jim Stewart such a hard battle two
weeks 60.

Now u Wave OF Doubt.
But / am sorry to say that today
every fair-minded fan or the Eastern
League circuit from Montreal to Provi-
dence and back again to this city has
good reason to think that crookedness
can be engendered wen in baseball.
The man who says nay to this is either
q deliberate a~ssinine dunce or a fell
low who a an AK to grind. When
Johnny Dunn defed the fans of this
league and shifted his players around
in that last game between the Balti-
mores and the Grays he did more to
awaken the fans of this league than
anything hat ever could happen. When
Johnny Dunn sem Pete Cassidy to
third bag and brought in O'IIara from
the outfleld and put him at short he
simply waved the red flag OF crooked
ness in The face of every baseball fan
In the country, and particularly the
Eastern League fans. If a team can
throw a game at the end of the season,
what is the matter with it being done
in h middle of the season IL condi-
tions so warrant such an act? The
entire press of the country has taken
the matter up. l am glad it has. If
only the few fearless papers In the
Eastern League touched upon this mat
ter the powers that be in the Eastern
League would simply sit back in their
luxurious chairs and smile. Baseball
must be protected if it Is to have any
future life in this country. The men
at the head of the Eastern League must
act. If they don't they had better see
that the salary list of players is cut,
for there will be such a falling off in
attendance next season hat the team
owners will have to scratch gravel to
find enough6o make up their bi-month-
~ p~ay-rolls.
President Powers Must Act.
There is one definite line of action for
the president of the Eastern League to
follow. lie mustn't Obtain affidavits
to prove to him how the Baltimores
threw the games to Providence. He
can simply sit down In his office and
think this one proposition out: IF Man
ager Dunn vas sincere in desir-
ing to win a game last Sunday, why
did Mr.. Dunn shake up his team
until it reminded one of a broken up
christening party where n guest did
not recognize the other" There Is a
duty for Mr.. Powers TO perform, and he
must do it without any salving.

ONLY FIVE Of
IS MINOR LEAGUE
CLAIMS ALLOWED
Commission Acts on Drafting of
Players by Major League
Clubs.

CINCINNATI, Sept. 22.-Only Ave Of
the Is minor league protests against
the drafting of players were allowed.
according to the finding of the National
Baseball Commission yesterday.
In calling attention to the matter, j.
II. Farrell. secretary of the National
Association, pointed out that before
August 20 of this year n number of
minor league players would be pur-
chased by one minor league club from
another. n his Office duly advised
thereof: that afterward, to wit, on
September ! and since hat time Il
number Of these players were drafted
by various major league clubs from the
minor league clubs that had sold the
players instead of the minor league
clubs that had purchased the players,
and for that reason these drafts as
made should be set aside.
The protests allowed are the draft
made by the Boston National League
Club from the Paris. ILL.,, Club, of In
fielder Staley: New York National
League Club from Savannah Of Pitcher
Kieber: Cleveland American League
Club from Gulfport Club of Player
Lively; Cleveland American League
Club from the Houston Club of Player
Truesdale, and New York American
League Club from the Austin Club Of
Catcher Killifer.
In all the other cases the drafts as
made will stand. In most of these
cases draft is permitted from the clubs
that purchased these players.
The claim of tho st. Louis National
League Club against the Waterbury
club relative to Player O'Rourke, for
whose return Waterbury is to pay $3.50,
is allowed. and the Waterbury Club
will have IL days additional time in
which to settle this claim. and upon
their failure to do so protection will
be withdrawn and the reservation list
will not be respected this fall. Under
these conditions the player would re
vert to st. Louis.

KRAMER AND MAYER
RACE AT GARDEN.


The great heat match race between

title holder, will take place at Madison

This event has been the talk Of the
cycle racing fans ever since the
foreigner came to this country. last
spring, for the purpose of meeting Jack
Clarke in a series of match races in
the Mormon city, and showed what a
wonderful rider he Is In events Of this
kind by finishing ahead of the Aus
tralian champion. The German is con-
fidence itself in his ability to turn the
same trick on Kramer. He and the
Jersey boy met in France a. couple of
years ago, and Mayer was the victor.
He has already placed a few bets on
himself that he comes in front tonight.

Arrangements Being Made for
Game Between Clubs at VAL
ley ON October A.
BY EDWARD p. DUFFY.

Arrangements have been made tenta-
lively by Bud Sharpe and Manager
Joseph McDonough, OF the Orange Val
ley team, to have the Tigers go to Or
ange Valley Sunday, October 4. to play
the crack a that represents the
hating district.
Bud Sharpe said yesterday before GO
ing to Summit that il the Tigers had
any kind of luck and weather during
this week that 1t was not at all un-
likely that the members of the team
would hold e after the benefit game
with the picked semi-pro team in
Wiedcnmayer's park mex Sunday.
This ought to make one of the best
games that could be arranged. as
genial Joe McDonough has one of the
fastest aggregations playing ball
around these diggings. The team has
a legion of admirers who would root
for the team until the dawn of day.
The grounds in the Valley is one OF the
prettiest in the country, and would
make a game with the Tigers particu-
larly attractive.
Bud Sharpe and Joe McDonough are
going to do everything in their power
to have h a game played.
That was quite a Suggest in Summit
yesterday between the semi-pro team
Of that place and the Tigers. 1t was
said that the long clout of Bud Sharpe
to the woods in the out1eld was fair.
but the umpire ruled otherwise. Ernie
Lindeman, the premier semi-pro
twirler of this territory, kept the
Tigers IL hits scattered so that there
were only 4 runs scored. The hitting
of the Summit boys was more timely.
If Newark had been a little more care
full IN the bases, there might have
been a different score than 5-4 in favor
of the semi-pros.
To get out Of a tight hole Saturday,
Timbrook forced in a run ON a base on
balls. His Judgment was good. for he
retired the necessary two men with
only an additional score.
The players picked for the semi-pro
team that Is to play the Newarkers
next Sunday are asked to bring their
own uniforms to play in so that the
teams from which they are picked will
get the credit of their good playing, the
