fhillies Will Win
 Pennant Next Year
Clarke Griffith Thinks So, Providing Manager Dooin
 Isn't Injured

Clarke Griffith, former leader of the Highlanders and the Reds and now the white hope of the Senators, comes out boldly with prediction that the Phillies will win the National League pennant next year-provided that noth- ing happens to Dooin. In thus hedging his bet Griffith seems to have put his finger on the Quakers' weakness. is a one-man organization. Itsie not merely that the Phillies have no rel1- able relief backstop to depend upon, but the fact that it is Dooin's person ality and ability which welds the com ponent parts of the team into an efh- cient whole. With their auburn-hair- ed leader the Pennsylvanians are a dangerous fighting aggregation of base ball lions, but without him they are poor. little sheep who have lost their way.
 It ought not to be necessary that Dooin should wear himself out att tempting to catch every game, es- pecially if he can obtain another good hackstop, but he must be in command, lending his life and spirit to the team: The Quakers certainly have strong club. Luderus, Knabe, DOOlan and Lobert form an infield of which to be proud and Magee, Paskert and Titus with Beck and Cravath as substitutes, give the outfield both batting and fielding strength. There is no weak ness in the pitching department. AL exander, Chalmers, Moore, Burns and Stack would bring small fortune from other clubs if they were put on sale.

Players Snubbed
 By Ruling Powers
National Commission Denies Right of Men to Get Mov-
 ing Picture Money

The National Baseball CommaeAon yesterday answered the objections or the baseball players as to the ap- propriation of the revenues of the moving picture privileges during the worlds series in no uncertain man ner. As a rebuke the triumv1rate has curtailed the annual division of spells for the respective major league pen nant winners. Hereafter the contest ants of the annual classic will share in but 60 per cent. of 90 per cent. of the first four games played, re- gardless of whether one or more or these may result in a tie.
 Heretofore drawn contests nave not counted against the athletes until four games had been definitely de- cided. The commission has also ruled that no special day bonuses-such as the Sunday, game at Chicago year ago-may figure in the 'divy."
 The ruling of the commission prac- tically tells major league players to go chase themselves. The matter was put up to the triumvirate by a com mittee of Giant players during the recent gorld's series The right of the players to some share in the moving pictures was advocated. The commission was asked what right it had to force the players to pose against their consent when they had no financial interests whatever.
 The commission indulgently point ed out in its ruling that it needed the money ($3,500) for the purpose of defraying expenses incident to the administration of baseball law. Often the supreme court is forced to make up a deficit by levying on the major league club owners.

BIG LEAGUE GOSSIP

Information from a reliable source confirms the belief that the next man. ager of the Cincinnati Reds will be Evers, Huggins, Tinker, Doolan, Brown, Leach, Kling, StovalL Sweeney, Knabe or Devlin. There is rumor, mentioned will carry off the job. Could it be that Hermann is secretly mak- ing terms with Charles V. Taust, the Giant mascot?
 Robertson, giant recruit, is herald ed as second MathewSOn. He won twenty-five out of twenty-six games while pitching for the Elizabeth City team in North Carolina last season. The fans hope Robertson sweeps through the major league like a whirl- wind, but-Elizabeth City is some dis tance from the corner of 157th St., and Eighth avenue
 A home run, that Arthur Griggs, for mer Nap utility man, who ended the season with Toledo, hit during game may end his career as a baseballer. The force of the drive upset Grigg's spine and an operation is necessary to restore it's equilibrium. Yet Baker made two home runs without upset ting anything except worlds cham piOnshiD.
 Harry Howell, who formerly pitched for the Highlanders and later for the Browns, has been appointed an umpire in the Eastern League.
 Frank Schulte and family are mak- ing use of the automobile awarded to the rightfelder of the Cubs by employ ing it as a means of transportation from Chicago to Syracuse, the home city of the Windy City cyclone.
 Frank Bancroft has succeeded in pla- eating those members of the Giant team who were about to start for home when they heard of the post ponement of the Cuban trip, and the whole party will leave on Wednesday for the only country that produces more smoke than the city of Pitts burgh. The team will go by rail and play five games in Florida before pro- ceeding to Havana. This will obviate a long idle wait and also give the men some much-needed practice. The par ty will be composed of the following:

(By Wagner.)

A large section of East Bridgeport's population crowded into Sadler's hall, last night, to witness a boxing car nival under the auspices of the Knick- erbocker A. c. It is claimed that Christie, the brew expert, who pre- scented the boys with case of his peerless Knickerbocker studs.
 Taking it by and large the evening s program was very smooth. and as our rural scribe would say, "a fine time was had by all.' The big battle was between Kid Shea of Waterbury and Young McAuliffe Of this city. The boys went six rounds and it must be confessed that the native son was beaten by the Waterbury clouter. Shea had the benefit of greater exper- fence and that is what counts in the ring.
 McAuliffe was willing and Nme. He waltzed right in but the trouble was that Shea was generally waiting for him with a wallop. Shea has fought a great many battles while McAuliffe has been mixed up in only about six engagements. The local boy planted several stinging swats which were a signal for violent applause from the crowd
 Shea didn't do anything sensational. He just ripped into McAuliffe and had the claret flowing from the latter's nose in the last two rounds. In the first stanza McAuliffe rushed in as if he intended to finish things right there and he did manage to hold his own. By means of the shift McAuliffe put over some telling blows in the second. but in the third round the tide of bat tie began to turn against him.
 In the fourth Shea battered McAul- fife around the ring and Referee Terry Lee spoiled nice clean shirt in try ing to make the boys break after the clinches. The Waterburian kept right after McAuliffe in the fifth and sixth and increased his advantage.
 McAuliffe has improved a great deal, however, since his last appearance. His great fault seems to be a cramp- ed style of delivering a blow. If he

would loosen up and adopt a more natural punch, one that would do more damage and at the same time not throw him off his balance, he would be more successful.
 There were many bits of comedy ex- hlbited during the evening. Gene Kelly caused a slight uproar when he appeared in one of those long, low, rakish hats such as Sam Bernard wears in "He Came from Milwaukee, D Genes arrival caused a bench loaded with gallery gods to topple over and he was whistling Where Did You Get That Hat?" Henry Reilly sat at the ringside and challenged Fritz Hart mann to a go at 300 pounds.
 Harry Whiting, the announcer, tore the chin goods off by the yard. He Kindly eliminate smoking as 1t in- terferes with the progress of the con- testantS"
 The say the buffalo, like the dodo bird and the polite waiter, is rapidly becoming extinct Be that as it may, there was a boxer named Young Buff falo, who was almost extinct when Kid Bunyan got through with him in the semi-f1nal Buffalo, who belongs to the Columbus Boys Club, went on only to Oblige the management, and he was almost rocked to sleep by his more experienced opponent. Buffalo was game, though, and managed to stick for six rounds.
 Frankie Yarrish of the Fairmount A. C., who dances around the ring until you wonder whether it's waltz or a two-step, put it all over Young Hines of the East End A. c. Whenever Hines thought he was due to stop something he held his head in his hands like man with toothache. This bout went six rounds
 Tn the preliminary Kid Barry of the South End A. C., won from Young Ward of the Arrow A C., in four rounds.
 The crowd was orderly throughout and to show that everything was on the level there was a poster on the wall which read, "Serata Speciale in Onore Del Artista. N Combane Si Dara Romanza.'' So you can draw your own conclusions.
