BOXING

Mcfarland danced for joy when Wolgast put up his forfeit for the Milwaukee scrap. "Wolgast will not land a dozen clean blows in the ten rounds" said Packy with confident smile. "I have studied his style care fully and I realize that as a wrestler and tugger he is without an equal Any boy who tries to rough it with him will losel sure, but I do not in- tend to let him draw me in close. Wolgast can go into his shell and stay there as long as he likes. When stomach and when he opens up I'll be there waiting for him. Wolgast fears the result in spite of his boasts to the contrary. If he is so confl- me to sign an agreement. to meet him n a longer battle on the coast later in the fall? Wolgast sees a good whipping coming to him in ten rounds, but he thinks he will get even a longer route. I'll fool him both times"
 Wolgast at least talks as if he be- lieves Mcfarland is an easy mark. 'I will make him box me the way I want to-" says the champion, and when he starts in at my kind of a game it will be a bad time for Packy. He doesn't like body punches and be- lieve me I am going to pump 'em in- to his midsection so hard and fast he will think a triphammer is beating a tattoo on his stomach. I think Me Farland will slow up when l begin to get at him." Wolgast's manager, Tom Jones is said to be ruffled be- cause Mcfarland will be allowed to weigh 133 at 3. He says that Packy will enter the ring weighing at least 138 pounds and that Wolgast will be more than six pounds lighter. It is hinted that Wolgast refused to heed Jones' tip that Mcfarland could do 133 at and enter the ring as strong as a horse. As a matter of fact Wolgast said while here last March that he did not believe Packy could reduce to 133 and whip a small boy. But that is where the champion will find himself grievously in error. Willie Lewis unexpected victory night has placed him in the front rank of the welterweight division. Lewis has been compelled to box men much heavier than himself in order to secure matches but from now on he will star as welter. Young Loughrey, who trimmed Hen ry; Jimmy Clabby and Jeff Smith are suitable antagonists for Lewis, who is ready to talk terms at any time. Opposition to the proposed fight" between Jack Johnson and England's alleged chambion, Bombardier Wells, is increasing to such degree that the promoters may decide to declare it off English sporting critics say that Wells hasn't had sufficient ring gro, who stands to draw down ESQ., 900 for his end of this affair. In pointing out reasons why Wells can not hope to make a respecta ble sho " ing if Johnson tries attention is call ed to the interesting fact that Eddie

Sherwood Magee
 Not Reinstated League Directors Uphold Presi. dent Lynch and Manager D0oin Says Decision
 Unjust

Chicago, Aug. 3-By a vote of three to one the Board of Directors of the National League yesterday upheld President Lynch in his action of fin- ing and suspending Sherwood Magee, outfielder of the Philadelphia club, for assaulting Umpire Finneran in re- cent game with the St. Louis team in Philadelphia. Lynch fined Magee $200 andesuspended him for the season. The directors, in a long opinion in which the constitution of the league force discipline by imposing fines and suspending players was quoted. sus- tained Lynch for fining Magee and barring him from the game for the season.
 President Murphy of the Chicago club filed dissenting opinion. In their opinion the directors said:
 ''In the hearing of this case no tes- timony was offered by the player that would warrant the board in either remitting or modifying the fine in- flicted against him, and his request to do so is denied.
 "The president of the league acted clearly within his authority under the provisions of the constitution of the National league, and it should serve as a warning to all layers where charges are preferred against them under the provisions of the constitu- tion and the suspension by the pres ident for a definite period even if the same is for the remainder of the playing season, follows, that after a proper hearing of the charges no ap- peal can be taken, and the suspension as made will be enforced
 Cincinnati, Aug 3+"It's up to the league directors. They run baseball, so what they say goes; but I'm sorry
 Sherwood Magee thus received the news from Chicago yesterday after noon just before the Phillies left the hotel for the ball park.
 ..'As to my sticking with the team,' 9 continued Magee, that is all up to President Fogel. He will get here probably tomorrow and decide that point. But it looks of course, like there's nothing else to do but obey. It's up to the directors, anyway, so I have nothing else to say.'
 Philadelphia, Aug. 3-"Its an unjust decision.'' said Manager Charles s. Dooin of the Philadelphia club when told of the action of the directors in the Magee case. Dooin had just arrived home from St. Louis and a doctor was examining his broken leg when he heard the news. He said it was the sentiment of baseball men all over the country that Magee should be reinstated and he pointed to a pile of letters and telegrams he had received on the subject, all in favor of Magee being allowed to get back in to the game. Manager Dooin said, he felt that if Magee made an apology to Umpire Ffnneran and President Lynch he probably would be reinstat- ed.
 >Dooin stood the long journey from St. Louis well. He left the train on crutches and was removed to his home in an automobile.

 Jolly Joe Whalen. the former Bridgeport catcher, is filling h for Springfield while Ball is injured. Ball hurt his hand the other day. Whalen will be used to warm up the pitchers.
 President Tracy has decided to take no action on the trouble in Waterbury Sunday when Dan O'Neil Ahearn and Genest also had scrap. The president says the reports of the mixups were grossly exaggerated.
 Louis Padron, the Cuban star, joined New Britain yesterday and $tealing two bases. Billy Hanna sign ad the Cuban. He went to New York and won Padron away from an in dependent team where the Cuban was playing Saturdays and Sundays.
 Hank IathewSon, a brother of Christy, pitched for Winsted yester- day against Pittsfield, and won his game by 8 to 1.
 Sam Mclean is going fine for New Britain. He beat New Haven by 2 to yesterday. Slim Foster worked for the Wings.
 Johnny Evers, who is recuperating in the Adirondacks, has written to President Murphy of the Chicago Cubs that he will rejoin the team in a few weeks.
 Pitcher Callahan is said to be dis satisfied with his job in Waterbury. They do say Callahan is one of the biggest grouches in the league. He grabbed all afternoon because he couldn't find his cap, the last time the O'Neil crowd played here.

SChuIte Of Cubs And LuderuS Out
 For Circuit Raps
Chicago and Philadelphia Slug gers Out For Home Run
 HOnOrS

In the Spring of this current cam paign there was much furore con- cerning the cork-cored baseball. Fen
 ces were being dented, the outfielders were playing at least twenty feet deeper and day by day all sorts Of sWattlng records were being smash
 ed. For instance, Cincinnati piled
 up 26 runs in game against BoS-
 ton, the Phillies buried the Reds one
 day, 21 to 5, and then the Cubs tram
 pied on the Doves 20 to 2.
 And now as the season progresses
 Frank Schulte of the Cubs, .~.-d Fred
 Luderus of the Ph1ifle~ rre threaten run record. John Buck Freeman is the individual who holds the hon. ors for punching out circuit drives. As member of the Washington club in 1899, "Bucky' then a terror to the
 pitchers collected twenty-five circuit Those were the days when a homer
 netted the batsmen almost every thing from a two-cent stamp to a
 house and lot. It was with pride that Freeman would show his trunks full of prizes as a result of his prow- ess as fence buster. Not since 1899 has this figure of twenty-five even been disturbed in the big leagues It has stood the
 swatting test of year in and year out. oOt uOW we may see d new lQO1. w III 1t be LuderuS or Schulte?
 Computing the statistics to date the Phillie first-sacker owns fourteen Of these precious clouts against thirteen for Schulte. If Luderus continues at the same gait. Buck" Freeman no longer will be known as the cham pion home run hitter. Schulte will have to better his stride wee bit Schulte and Luderus are terrific
 clouters. Swinging from the port side, they lay back with their bat on their shoulders, wait for the pill and take healthy swing. Schulte is the more graceful of the two. He goes through absolutely no preliminary mo- tions with the ash, selects one he likes
 and then puts all his force behind his swing.
 Luderus, some say, has a weakness -on low balls. Then possibly his home run drives are off ones that come midway between waist and shoulders. Anyway this awkward seemingly unfinished sticker to-day leads both leagues as fence buster, and of he continues easily will eclipse the record which now stands supreme

Flame" Delhi of Los Angeles Club Breaks Al Records
 For Making 'em Hit

Los Angeles, Aug. 3.-It was de- dared here last night by sporting writer's that Flame" Delhi, premier Htcher of the Los Angeles Pacific Coast league team, had established a new worlds record in the game Sunday with Portland.
 Delhi pitched only seventy-five balls for the nine innings as against 1O3, the former record. In the first inning he pitched just four balls and in the second five. His control throughout was perfect. Delhi, goes 10 the Chicago Americans next year.

 Sammy Smith, who had short trial with Hartford, is now with London in the Eastern Canadian League. Rocky Stone caught we'll in Spring field. Most of the Ponies steals were due to the fact that the pitchers al- lowed the runners too much of a lead off the bag.

 Lou Litschi played great game yes terday. The Springfield fans ap- plauded, several of his fine stops. The Massachusetts fans are very fair minded.

 "Babe" Adams as a hoodoo for the Giants was temporarily retired but Christy Mathewson wasn't such a much. His support won the game after he allowed 15 hits.
 Where are the Tanks of yester- day? After taking two from the White Sox, they let the Maps come up from behind and with four runs in the ninth carry away a game that looked as if it was all wrapped up.
 The style of play that broke the Pirates run of 13 may be judged from the six double plays in the score.
 And just see what Brooklyn went and did. After matching goose eggs with the Cubs for 10 long innings they were beaten just because Jimmy Archer leaned against one of Buck CTS outshoots hard enough to give him time to visit the four stations.
 The Boston Nationals aroused themselves from their baseball coma and after an interesting debate se- cured five tallies to two for the Car dinals.

HAS AUTOGRAPH LETTER
OF CAPT. LAWRENCE, HERO

James Barnes. the author of Naval
Actions of the War of 1872" has in his
possession an autograph letter written
by Captain Lawrence, of the Chesa-
peake, just before the disastrous fight
with the Shannon. Part of the letter.
addressed to James Cox, ESQ.,, Mer
chant OF New York." reads as follows:
Should / be so unfortunate as to be
taken oil, / leave my wife and Gnu
dren to your care, and feel conhden.
that you will behave to them the same
as If they were your own.'
The letter Is of historic interest as
showing thai Lawrence, whose Don !
give up the shlp!" will s-wlys be re-
membered as proof of his high spirit,
went into the battle contrary to his
best judgment. 1t also shows that he
had had a serious difference with Balm
bridge, which was, however, partly
done away on the evening before the
combat.

THE TYPE OF CANDIDATE IN 1912.

IT f the choice for President in 1912 should be between a reaction
AIRY candidate, a radical candidate and Il conservative candi
date, the latter would unquestionably be chosen. The country
is neither reactionary nor radical in sentiment. The Republican
party is not likely to name a reactionary for its candidate. Men
like former Vice President Fairbanks have had their day and gener
alton. President Taft, who may be described as an advanced con
sentative, and who, Notwithstanding blunders of administration,
has to his credit some notable achievements, such as the reciprocity
pact and the breaking up of the STANDARD Oil and tobacco trusts,
will doubtless be the candidate. As against Mr.. Taft a Democratic
candidate must guarantee in his character and record that his
candidacy does not mean a general tearing up of things, a dsoca
ton of the business fabric of the country and the inauguration of
all kinds of radical experiments in government to keep the country
in a turmoil for at least four years. In 1896 the American people
seemed fascinated by the personality of Mr.. Bryan, but when it
came to the polls in November they rejected him for President.
That they did wisely then is no longer in question. Democracies
are conservative in instinct, and in that respect they never change.
The American democracy is as conservative now as it was in 1896.
Mr.. Taft as a conservative would win the election from a radical
opponent. He could be beaten by a Democratic candidate not of
the Bryan type and not committed to any new and strange doctrines
that have not been tried out and which The people would in
pstinctively distrust.
