fend 1t against Jimmy Glavins of the
Virginia. Glavins won. The fight was

been one Of the fastest and best that has
ever taken place in the navy.
Glavins surprised even his friends by the
great fight which he put up. He had the
best Of Gotch all the way through. Gotch
pulled an oar in a boat race shortly be-
fore the fight, and his friends attribute his
defeat to fatigue brought on by that. but
Gotch was not yet all In when the six
rounds had been fought, and wanted the
fight to go on. He still believes that he
is better man than Glavins. and says
that he will yet regain the championship.
Much money was wagered on the fight,

ONE OF IRWIN'S TRICKS.
Had Grounds Sprinkled, Making
Fielding of Hard Hits Easier.


"Of course I know that you young.
sters." and here Owney Ghagan gazed
around at nobody in particular, think
base ball is so fast today that the game
we had In the eighties compares to it
like a sprinkling cart to a gasoline chaise.
But take it from me. the real ones
twenty years ago were as fast and tricky
as the men whose names get IN the paper
every day now.
You youngsters have heard about Ar
thur Irwin, ! suppose. He was the fell
low who invented base ball gloves.
saw him the other day, looking as pros
porous as successful con man, and
we famed for a long time.
Now. Irwin was one Of the tricky
boys when base ball was reaching the
long pants stage. He played short for
naS %ap d Essn + hi Way hs
the hardest hit balls was a source Of
wonder to the crowds, and he had EN-
cheering day after day with his stops
and throws.
In some respects. They didn't have such
strict rules. for one thing, and the play
ers could get away with things which
aren't permitted now. And It was because
Of this condition that fellows like Irwin
could turn their little tricks.
Perhaps you've noticed that after q
heavy rainfall the ball Is slower than
during dry spell. The reason is that
when the ground IS soaked the turf is not
SO lively, and the ball loses its resiliency.
well, Irwin got wise to this in the
days when intielders worked without
gloves. and when the team played at
home he had the groundkeeper use the
hose between second and third for an
hour or so before the game. He would
stand around and boss the job until the
ground was so thoroughly saturated that
it spurted water every time the ball hit
it.
"On the road Irwin always left the
hotel an hour before the rest of the
players and headed for the park. where
he either tipped the .groundkeeper to
sprinkle the grass around his position. or
attached the hose and did the work HIM
self.
He generally managed to finish the
job before the gates were opened, and
the spectators didn't get wise to him.
And if they had seen him they would
not have been impressed.
Few realized that the hardest hit ball
would slow up materially when it struck
the soft, wet turf, which, lacking the
resistance of the sun-baked spots, acted
as a brake, and made the fielding easier
I'D like to see some one on a visiting
team attempt to pull off this stunt now
adays, when groundkeepers are just as
jealous for the success of their team as
the craziest fan in town."

Special Dispatch to The Star.

PHILADELPHIA. Pa. September 49,
Philadelphia cricket representatives over
whelmingly defeated the Gentlemen of
Ireland by an inning and 16S runs on the
spacious grounds Of the Merton Cricket
Club at Haverford today. The Philadel-
phians found the Irish bowlers very much
to their liking when the game was re-
sumed at II 30, and they found the wicket
very much improved and cloudless sky,
which made the conditions perfect for
scoring. F. S. White. the Germantown
youngster, covered himself with glory by
topping the century without giving the
semblance of a chance. which marks the
first time in his experience In interna-
tional cricket that he has performed this
feat. Ordinarily very patient bat. this
morning he let out and made many fine
hits, scoring faster than he usually does.
Change after change of bowling was made
to dislodge White, but with no effect.
