with the fact that it is UP to the team
to hustle from now on IN order to bring
pehnant again this year to Chicago.
but they are also confident they Will be
able to do this They refuse TO ard

lapse when the strain becomes tense in
the race through the stretch There Is
only one thing that would please tho
cubs better than the way matters are
breaking now. and that would be to

SMITH AFTER RECORD

Frank Smith. the present iron man"
of the white sox. is out after the pitch
ing record. He has his heart set on
pitching in just half the scheduled
games. which is going some, even for
the piano jugsler. Smith has confded
to his friends that if Manager Sullivan
will let him he will be willing to get
into seventy-f1ve games, as he is bound
to make up this year for that little va
cation of his last season. when he quit
the team at critical time in the race.
The big pitcher has asserted that he
was never better in his life than he is
now, and not only is he willing to go
into any number of games asked of
him, but he is ready to pitch full games
out of his turn, every other day, If
necessary. Smith is one of the sox who
thinks that the team has yet a chance
for the pennant, and it won't be his
fault If the south siders don't land the
bunting. Smith has not said anything
to Sullivan or Comiskey about his am
bition. but has told friends that he was
anxious to find out how much he could
stand. He has no fear of his arm Civ
ing out and is certain that he can pitch
and win a goodly number of over sew
enty games.

Turns Down Offer to Meet
Either Lewis or Burke
in New York.

Offers to fight before eastern boxing
clubs came so thick and fast yesterday
that Billy Papke. pride of Kewanee,
was forced to announce through his
brother and manager, Edward, that he
wouldn't meet anybody before the latter
part of August or early IN September.
Efforts were made by Matchmaker
Billy Gibson of the Fairmont A c. of
New York to match the Kewanee maui
er with either Sailor Burke or Willie
Lewis. the battle to be decided in about
two weeks. But Papke turned down
both of the offers. He assured the east
ern promoters. however, that he would
consider fighting Burke or Lewis, but
would not accept any definite engage
ment before the 18th of August. Papke
was offered $4,000 for his end to meet
either of the eastern boxers.
It's this way" explained Edward
Papke last night. Il expect to receive
an offer from Promoter Coffroth any
day TO meet KetcheI in a finish fight
and I do not care posting big forfeits
for eastern fights and then be forced
to crawl if the matches in order to get
a return battle with Ketchel.
"KetcheI is the man we are after,
he continued, and the match can't be
made any too soon to accommodate
Billy. The public is anxious to see who
is the better man and is clamoring for
a finish contest between Billy and the
Michigan man Coffroth is trying to
arrange the match, knowing 1t would
be a better card than the proposed Ket-
chel-Johnson fight. and has instructed
me not to make any important matches
